Weeping! When Hamid saw the seven people crying and crying, he asked coldly: “Why cry? When you came to Syria, you never thought there would be such a day?!
Among the seven, one kid cried and said “We just want to refresh our qualifications. I didn’t expect it to be so dangerous. Commander Hamid, please let us go. We can also read and study. We can’t do anything else. You can leave us seven. It’s a cumbersome thing to keep us here!”
Others also cried and pleaded.
For them, as long as there is a chance, they must fight for it with all their strength. However, Hamid did not give them any hope at all, he said coldly: “From tomorrow, all of you men will go to dig out the toilets, and all the women will go to herding cattle and sheep. You will work 16 hours a day. At that time, I will arrange for someone to follow you. If anyone dares to be lazy, I will fine him for three days. He/she in that case can’t eat; if anyone wants to escape, I will break his legs and let him crawl to get to the toilet!
The conditions in the village where Hamid is stationed are very difficult. There used to be an electricity supply, but since the beginning of the civil war, it has been unable to supply electricity. Here, there is no electricity, no communication, no running water, and no sewer.
Therefore, the people of the entire village, as well as the soldiers of Hamid, all settled in the dry toilet.
One to two thousand people have a very large amount of defecation every day. The soldiers originally took turns cleaning the toilets and transporting the filth out of the village, but no matter who was allowed to do this kind of thing, it was inevitable that there would be complaints.
Therefore, Hamid hardly thought about it and arranged these five men to clean the toilet and dump the filth. As long as the five men were squeezed to the extreme, his soldiers would no longer have to do such dirty work.
After listening to these five people, they almost have the desire to die.
Thinking of handling the feces of one or two thousand people every day and cleaning the toilets they used, these five people feel that their lives are all over.
Because Hamid said that they should stay here as slaves for a lifetime, and they will not be able to leave until they die. This means that as long as they are alive, they have only this job of cleaning the toilets and dumping filth every day. Repeatedly, without end.
Is there anything more tragic than this for a lifetime?
Several people couldn’t help thinking of Charlie, and they hated him and regretted it in their hearts.
