"The law and order is very good, there is no robbery incident, even the place where you can walk casually at night!"
"As long as you come here, you will be protected by the Illuminati!"
"And free housing and food for one month as soon as you come!"
……
These days, people everywhere are promoting this matter. At first, no one believed that there would be such a good thing, but soon, some people couldn't bear it anymore and left for the rumored place of light.
Morrie didn't believe it at first, but he couldn't help but wonder when he saw his neighbor whose rent was due happy move.
Does that kind of place... really exist?
He could barely take it anymore.
He is a black household who smuggled out of the country. A black household like him would never dare to go to the inner ring area, because the inner ring area has very strict identity checks. Once a black household is found out, it will inevitably be whipped.
And he couldn't find any decent job, not because of his incompetence, but because the contract signed by the black household was not protected by the imperial law.
He can only do the hardest and most tiring work, with the meager salary, living in a dilapidated small house without any future and hope.
His shameless boss seems to have calculated his monthly expenses, and the salary is just enough for him to barely get by, and there is no way to save even if he wants to.
Some time ago, he finally couldn't hold on to his illness, and he was delayed for several days, causing the unscrupulous boss to deduct half a month's salary...
Already, I can't hold on anymore.
The reason why he was reduced to the imperial capital was because his hometown was affected by the flames of war. On the way here, his father was killed by a deserter, and his mother fell ill on the way. Because of his youth, he survived for a while longer, after many hardships, After spending the last savings on his body, he reluctantly smuggled into the outer ring of the imperial capital.
however……
He felt that he might as well have died sooner.
However, he was afraid of death.
Who can not be afraid?
Morrie covered his face and cried bitterly, as if he wanted to vent the pressure and grief in his heart, and it took him a long time to stop crying.
"I have nothing to lose, even if I'm cheated..."
Morrie stood up, packed up his simple belongings, and walked in the direction that those who promoted the Bright Land said.
Morrie walked for a long time, shuttled through the icy streets, and the pedestrians on the road were hurried and unfamiliar.
He missed his hometown.
Before the war, the countryside was full of well-ordered fields full of crops, with wild flowers growing on both sides of the dirt path, and a huge oak tree in the middle of the village, under which the old people would enjoy the shade , children will run around it, and there are fish and shrimp swimming in the clear stream next to it...
In the imperial capital, what he saw was the dirty air and tall and dense buildings, as well as the complicated streets and cold machinery, and... the dark hearts.
I don't know how long they walked, but in a trance, Morrie seemed to hear the sound of laughter.
In his mind, he hadn't heard laughter for a long time.
The sound is coming from the front.
Morrie couldn't help quickening his pace.
Soon, he turned the corner and saw the source of the laughter.
It was a sunny street, and there were many people walking on the street, and their faces did not have the familiar indifference and haste that Morrie knew...
I don't know who made the laughter, because everyone seemed to be laughing.
"Strange person, are you here to live too?"
A person walked towards him. He was wearing a white uniform. The uniform was very simple, almost pure white, and the style fit him well, making him suitable for action.
"Ah... yes." Morrie nodded quickly.
"So, please go there and register, and please remember not to do spitting or littering, insulting people, and anything illegal."
After speaking, he pointed to an open-air office.
There were two people in white uniforms in the office, one of them was maintaining order, and the other was sitting behind a desk to help people register information. Several people lined up and were registering their identities and information.
"Yes!"
Morrie agreed, then walked to the office and started queuing up, and it took a while before it was his turn.
"Name?"
"Morrie, no last name..."
"gender?"
"Huh? Male!"
"age?"
"21 is old."
"Do you have an imperial capital account?"
"..." Morrie hesitated, "No."
"Is there any work?"
"No……"
Morrie's tone began to sound unsure.
"Do you have any specialties?"
"My strength is the strongest in the whole village. I can farm, climb and cut trees..."
"Do you have any family members?"
"No."
"Why did you come to Guangming Street?"
"..." Morrie was silent for a while, and then replied, "In order to survive, I heard that one month's free board and lodging will be provided when you come here."
"Well..." The people in the office were not surprised, "Before you join Guangming Street, there are a few conditions you must abide by..."
Morrie tensed up.
"First, you are not allowed to do any illegal and criminal things. Second, if you don't have a job, you must obey the arrangements of our Illuminati. The Illuminati does not raise lazy people. Third, you must respect Lord Adiu."
"Yes! I will do it!"
"Then, your room will be in Room B of Housing No. 65. That room is your exclusive bedroom. The bathroom and kitchen are shared with your roommates. You can use the furniture and facilities in the room freely, but you are not allowed to intentionally damage or In terms of food, the three meals are allocated at [-]:[-] am, [-]:[-] noon, and [-]:[-] pm. Although they are all big pot meals, they are full of nutrition and portion, but remember one thing, don’t waste it, and if you do something wrong , Our Illuminati will judge according to the seriousness of the mistake, if it is not very serious, we will warn, but if it is serious, such as stealing, we will be expelled immediately, understand?!"
"Understood!"
Morrie responded loudly.
"Very well, I give you the key. As for the location of the room, there are numbers on the door of the house, and the rooms have their own numbers. It is easy to find. You can go to the house to familiarize yourself. When it is lunch time, about your work, naturally Someone will arrange it."
"I see!"
After receiving the key, Morrie searched from house to house with anxiety, and finally found room 65, then walked in carefully, and found his room B on the second floor.
Insert the key in and turn it... Pushing away from Room B, Maury saw the bedding prepared in advance on the bed, and a set of cheap but complete toiletries. There were also some old but clean furniture in the room, and the sunlight Slanting light through the window on the sheets.
"this is my room?"
Morrie looked at the room in disbelief, and stood by the bed in a trance, touching the soft bedding.
As if realizing something, as if he was electrocuted, he suddenly withdrew his hand.
He hasn't washed his hands yet, for fear of soiling the bedding.
only……
"this is my room?"
Morrie didn't even dare to sit in a chair, but just looked at the room in a daze, still full of disbelief in his heart.
How could it be... so simple to have a house to live in?
Morrie still had trouble accepting the fact that the room was his own.
"newcomer?"
Morrie turned his head and saw a tall and strong man looking at him kindly.
Morrie nodded quickly.
"Don't be so nervous, I've only been here for a few days, I live in Room A, we are roommates." He smiled, "It's hard to believe that I'm just like you when I first came here, but you can rest assured, yes Yes, my name is Gesang, how about you?"
"My name is Morrie."
"Please take care of me in the future."
After chatting with Gesang for a while, Mori also gradually relaxed, and gradually accepted the reality that was too beautiful to be true.
"By the way, it's almost time for dinner, let's go together."
"it is good."
As soon as the two of them walked out of the door, they heard the bell ringing.
"The bell rings at meal times, so when you hear the bell, you know it's time for dinner," Gesang said.
Soon, the two came to a place where rows of long tables and benches were neatly arranged. Beside the long tables and benches was a simple stove with several The cauldron, the cauldron is surrounded by people who are busy cooking.
An old woman in an apron stood in front of the cauldron and shouted.
"Everyone is lined up! Ready for dinner!"
"Go, find a seat near the front!"
Gesang pulled Mori forward, took two sets of tableware, and stood at the front of the line.
Many people gathered here, but there was no confusion at all, and they lined up obediently one by one.
Because the position is at the front, it will soon be Morrie's turn.
Morrie's eyes were immediately drawn to the cauldron, which contained a thick stew.
Onions, potatoes, minced meat... mixed together, although the appearance is not very good, but it exudes a strong aroma.
"How much stew do you want? Half a bowl? Half a bowl? Or a whole bowl?"
"A whole bowl."
The aunt who was cooking immediately picked up the big spoon and filled the bowl in Mori's right hand with stew.
"How many pieces of bread?"
"Two pieces."
Two more loaves were placed on the plate in Morrie's left hand.
Morrie walked to another table, and an aunt stared at him and asked aloud.
"Where do you live and what's your name?"
"I live in Room 65 B, and my name is Mori."
Maury answered honestly...
"I'll look for it..." Auntie checked the notebook in front of her, then waved her hand, "You can go."
Mori left with the tray, and stood there blankly, looking at the tables and chairs in front of him, not knowing where to sit, until he saw Gesang waving at him.
Mori hurried over, and Gesang motioned him to sit beside him.
"You can sit anywhere here." Gesang said, "You can find any seat."
"I remember."
Morrie responded, and impatiently took a bite of the bread, then spooned a mouthful of hot stew into his mouth.
"good to eat……"
Fragrant!
The bread is so soft that it melts in your mouth, the slightly pungent taste of the onion, the soft and waxy taste of the boiled potatoes, and the pieces of broken meat mixed in it, bringing a wonderful sense of surprise...
Morrie thought the stew was good enough to cry.
He gobbled it up.
"Don't be so anxious, you can continue to fill up if you are not full after eating."
