My land has countless trumpets

Chapter 24 The Coffin Room (ask for a monthly ticket)
"Okay, okay." Seeing Jiang Cheng say this, Liuxu quickly agreed...

In fact, she didn't really want to go to her uncle's house, but she heard that her uncle's house was the only relative who survived in the dungeon, so her mother wanted her to go.

Mother Liu didn't like her cousin very much, but after all, she was her only relative. He was seriously ill, and I heard he was terminally ill, so she still had to take a look.

She didn't refuse, "Okay, Chengcheng, then I'll trouble you."

"Auntie, wait a minute, I'll come out." After finishing speaking, he went back to the room and took out... a knife left by his grandfather from the only drawer.

Mother Liu was startled when she saw the knife, "...Chengcheng, put it away quickly, it will be terrible if someone reports it." After speaking, she quickly blocked Jiang Cheng's hand with her body.

In the E36 area of ​​the underground city, private individuals are not allowed to take knives out of the house. If they are discovered by the patrol officers in the D36 area who are responsible for security, they will be arrested and forced to do hard labor.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I have a knife license. It was passed down to me by my grandfather. You can bring it with you."

In fact, Jiang Cheng sometimes wonders that there are many things left by his grandfather, and it seems that he also has some small identities...Why, he only lives in the E36 area, which is a middle-to-lower area in the civilian area.

However, it is not without benefits. If all the relatives of other people die, even if they are not driven to the slums, they will be moved to another place and crowded with others... Jiang Cheng is now living in a whole house by himself. Some people are a little envious.

After packing up his things, Jiang Cheng led the two of them to the junction gate of E36-F01.

At the gate, eight people wearing uniforms specific to the D01 area were guarding the gate with old-style rifles.

As soon as the three came over, the leading middle-aged man took a glance with his eyes and immediately noticed the knife stuck in Jiang Cheng's belt.

"Stop!" He said, raising the Mucangzhi.

Before the middle-aged man could say anything, Jiang Cheng hurriedly handed over his knife permit, "Brother, we are going to the F01 area above to visit relatives." Damn it, if this goes wrong, it will be game over. This is not a show of force. when.

If you want to go to the slums, you have to go through dozens of gates just like this, and you have to pay a certain amount of credit points every time you pass through one.

The middle-aged man nodded and opened the document.

After identifying it with a watch-style instrument on his wrist, he nodded, looked at the E36 area uniform on Jiang Cheng, and said with a smile: "Little guy, it's not easy to get this certificate in E36. Come on down. ...By the way, go to the window and pay the fee first, two credits per person."

"Thank you bro."

After paying the credit points, the guards opened a large iron gate.

Then, under the guard of two people, the three entered an electric well ladder at the gate.

The well ladder went up slowly.

"Chengcheng, it's not good to ask you to give credit points. When I get home, I will give you all the credit points you gave."

"No need, Auntie, Xu Xu and I are already so familiar, what do you think, Xu Xu." Looking at Xu Xu, who was wearing an embroidered dress, Jiang Cheng felt a little... really pale.

"Yeah." In front of her mother, Liu Xu nodded slightly cautiously.

"How can I do that, Chengcheng, you are just sitting on the mountain, and when I get home, I have to give you some credit...Okay, it's here."

The moment the elevator opened, guards from areas F01~F02 came over.

Checking and handing in credit points again...

Jiang Cheng, who was tireless, finally arrived at the H01 area after handing over his documents dozens of times.

The H01 area has the most guards, with a total of 38 guards, and there are even old-fashioned machines!gun!
As soon as I walked out, I felt a sense of depression.

Compared with the E36 area, which is more than ten meters high, the overall height of the H01 area is only five or six meters.

As far as I can see, there are small "coffin" rooms with doors next to each other. If you have trypophobia, you may get sick...

With a height of only five or six meters, there are three floors of coffin houses, connected up and down by rusty iron platforms and iron escalators... Then, each small house is only about 1.5 meters wide. From a distance, The doors are like... tombstones placed next to each other.

Residents standing on the platform, if they are tall, can’t even stand upright. If they want to stand upright, they can only stretch out in the middle of the two facing residential areas.

Just like this, they have to be harassed by all kinds of clothes.

There are many and miscellaneous things in the central area, not only a place to dry clothes, but also all kinds of garbage and sundries...

"Auntie, is Uncle Xuxu's house here?" Even though it was not the first time he came to the slums, Jiang Cheng was still a little shocked...Compared with where he lives, it is like a paradise!
"Well, right here, come with me."

"Auntie, let me give Xu Xu my coat, look at the way those residents look at Xu Xu..."

"Thank you, Chengcheng."

"It's okay." After putting his coat on Xu Xu, Jiang Cheng took the knife in his hand.

Walking into the residential area, the eyes along the way... There are envy, jealousy, and greed...

Liuxu was a little scared and unknowingly put her little hand on the corner of Jiang Cheng's clothes.

……

When the mother and daughter squatted in the 3*1.5*1.5 room to visit relatives, Jiang Cheng stayed outside.

After going back.

Even though Jiang Cheng refused repeatedly, Mother Liu still transferred the credit back to him.

When Jiang Cheng returned to his room to log in to the game, Mother Liu pulled Liu Xu back home.

Close the door.

"Xuxu, is this your first time going to the slums? How do you feel?"

"It doesn't feel good, the place is dirty and messy." Liu Xu said as she took out the cake she left for her parents from the small refrigerator, which they hadn't eaten, "Mom, just eat this! If you don’t eat it, I can’t eat it either.”

"Eat it later." Mother Liu put the cake aside, "Xuxu, I still have to talk to you about business."

"Let's talk, mom." I thought... Mom really... is looking for something to do with me, otherwise, why would I take myself to a slum.

"I know... you like your brother Jiang Cheng very much... Let me tell you straight, Xu Xu, if you really marry him, you will move with him to that dirty slum in a few years!
Your dad and I have given you the best since we were young, which made your mouth a lot... You really went to the slums, son, you can't stand it. "

Why are you talking about this again!

I am not the gold-worshiping woman mentioned in the old books!
Liu Xu held back her anger, "Mom, why do you keep talking about this...I'll tell you the truth, I must marry Brother Jiang Cheng! Husband-in-law is not interested at all...

In my heart, spirit is higher than materiality. What I want is the true love mentioned in the book, not a coping style life that succumbs to materialism!I want to find someone who loves me, not a playboy I've never met!that's all. "

After saying that, he went to bed and lay down.

"Mom, remember to eat the cake."

Then, cover it with a quilt.
