Baldymo Mental Crime Shelter Center.

Sorry, our eyes returned to this place again, because no matter how beautiful it is, it still cannot cover up the fact that this place is a gloomy place. After all, no one likes mental illness, and no one likes criminals. And no one likes a place full of mental illness criminals.

Well... this sentence is a bit absolute, because some people still like this kind of place.

For example, our caregiver Barney.

Barney is a good boy, and in the true sense, he is a good boy.

He is 38 years old this year. Like everyone here, he has no car, no house, and no girlfriend. But what is different from you is that he is very strong, polite, serious in work, strong in character, sincere in dealing with others, and never speaks bad things about others behind the scenes... In fact, he never says anything in front of others.

Because he is a mute.

Anyway, no matter what, he has many advantages, so let’s choose a simple one now...for example, “strong personality”. It can be easily seen...after all, he is still alive.

Yes, he didn't commit suicide, which is enough to prove his strength.

Because in the past thirty years, his experience has been extremely exciting. After he was born, the first interaction from his family was domestic violence. His father was a dismissed worker, drunk all day long, beat Barney when he was drunk, and beat him when he was awake, just because Barney was a congenital mute.

Later, when he was 10 years old, his mother finally mustered up the courage to divorce his father. The court mercifully awarded Barney's custody to his mother. When he was 10 years and three months old, his mother died in a car accident, so Barney spent almost all of his last 20 years with his father.

He was bullied on campus when he was in school. He dropped out of school early to find a job. Being beaten at home was like three meals a day. He lived to the age of 20 with difficulty. When his size finally reached his father could not beat him, he had to work harder to repay his gambling debts. When he was 35 years old, the gambling debts were finally paid off, and his father suffered from obesity.

Because his father never worked at any time for decades and did not do anything like taxes, the law once again threw high medical expenses on Barney's head when a dying old man was lying in the hospital.

Fortunately, Barney got a nursing work at the "Baldimo Mental Crime Shelter Center", so he was grateful for it, after all, this job allowed him to continue living.

Anyway, his father, who weighed 200 pounds, happily lying on the hospital bed for three years, and finally swallowed under the gaze of the beautiful nurse.

Look, if you think your life is not satisfactory, then Barney is your role model. He has been giving his whole life to a man who tortured him. Until the end, he has never scolded or even refuted that man once. And he has no way to tell others about these tragic experiences. Who made him a mute?

So I can only keep pressing my heart until it breaks out or dies.

Oh, by the way, Barney is not a name, who would call such a strange name?

[Barney] is just a well-intentioned code. Because he can't speak, he can only whimper with simple pronunciations such as "bar" or "ne" in his mouth. Therefore, other colleagues here are used to calling him Barney directly.

And his real name is...

......

After dinner, the Baltimore shelter center was as quiet and gloomy as usual.

But I don’t know what happened recently, but everyone can see that Barney has been in a good mood these days. He always nodded and greeted every colleague passing by with a faint smile. Sometimes, when passing by his lounge, people could hear his murmur coming from inside.

It was as if he had gradually changed from a cold and silly gourd to a passionate and polite gentleman.

After get off work, everyone left, leaving only some doctors and guards on duty.

Barney has no home, and his home has been mortgaged by his father as a bet, so he lives in the lounge of the shelter center all year round, and the warden also likes employees who can stay at work 24 hours a day.

In the darkness, a flash of lights.

The lights in the kitchen of the canteen were turned on...

Barney's breath passed through his incomplete vocal cords, humming an unpleasant tone, echoing in the empty prison kitchen.

I saw him coming to a corner of the refrigerator, and his thick arms were rummaging around between the refrigerated ingredients. Finally, he found a piece of liver.

This liver did not seem to be refrigerated for long, and there was only a thin layer of frost on the surface of the plastic sealed bag.

Barney was very satisfied. He took out his liver, washed away the remaining blood, then put it on the chopping board, and carefully cut it into small pieces...

His technique is very skillful, and it is hard to imagine that a man with big and thick hair would have such delicate knife skills. The soft fat became less fragile due to refrigeration. When the blade was scratched, the subtle texture could be transmitted from the handle to the palm of the palm...

Barney seemed to enjoy this feeling very much, and he happily increased the volume of his humming.

Yes, the liver must have thick fat, so that after high temperatures, the expanded surface can absorb more spices, either egg yolks or some flour mixed with lemon water. In short, only in this way can it cover the faint bitterness in the internal organs. Then watch them gradually become crispy in the butter, but still soft inside, and then add some celery and green beans to remove greasyness... It is best to pair it with a cup of naturally fermented white wine.

Unfortunately, white wine cannot be found in the prison kitchen...but this liver is still perfect.

So Barney carefully arranged the dish with satisfaction and then...buttoned it with an aluminum meal cover.

Instead of eating by himself, he pushed the dining cart, in this dim and empty corridor,

Accompanied by the crunch of the wheels

Disappeared in the darkness.
