A transparent plastic sheet separated the colorful lights outside. The incandescent lamp was suspended in the air with a red and green intertwined wire. Yellowed old newspapers were formed into a bottomless cone and covered with the light bulb as a lampshade. Washed white cloth strips formed a blanket, parting the cold ground. In the hot glass bulbs, the red-hot filaments radiated light and heat without scruples.

Logan woke up in a daze, his brain still in a dead state and going blank. The yellow light that penetrated his eyes when he opened his eyes made him unable to see anything for the first few seconds. The world fell into chaos, and then slowly drew outlines. Logan just lay there stiffly, his body not yet warmed up, but he soon realized that he had been rescued.

cluck cluck

There was the gurgling sound of liquid boiling not far away, and the aroma of thick soup aroused greedy people. The plastic curtain was opened, and a child wrapped in cotton ball was squatting next to the coal stove, stirring a spoon. In the pot of soup, balls of steam float upward like naughty children. You and I are fighting for it.

"Thank you." No one minded that Jimmy knew Logan's name. He also knew it from the "dog tag".

Logan nodded, thanked him and took the bowl steadily. The aroma of food hit his face. The red carrot slices and golden corn flakes formed a wonderful combination. The warm steam hit his face, and he took a mouthful of hot soup. After taking it down, warmth spread through the internal organs. There was no reaction in the first second, but in the next second, the unparalleled deliciousness gently bloomed on the tip of his tongue. The sweetness of corn and the elegance of carrot appeared in Logan's mouth.

Logan never knew that corn chowder could taste so good, and he didn't even know that the corn was originally given by Aunt White, who sold food, and the bread was leftovers from someone else's food. Jimmy used the leftovers. I made this pot of soup.

"Uncle, here you go." A small white hand appeared in front of Logan's eyes. In his hand was a piece of bread, just a small piece, but it was already more than half of the whole piece of bread.

Logan raised his head, and the boy's cute face came into view, with lake-blue eyes, slightly curly golden hair, skin as white as alabaster, and sapphire-like pupils exuding cuteness. Why does it feel familiar?

The yellow light shone on his lake-blue pupils, and his eyes seemed to be twinkling. Logan was immersed in Jimmy's lake-blue pupils, and even was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. Then he said thanks again and took the bread.

After his hunger was relieved, Logan put down the bowl and realized that he was in a house made of plastic sheds, which was so simple that it was so simple.

"Where are your parents?" Logan asked.

""

Jimmy was silent. No matter which world he was in, he had no parents. Jimmy didn't know how to answer Logan's question.

Logan explained again: "Didn't your parents save me?"

Jimmy shook his head gently, "No, I saved you, uncle."

A look of astonishment flashed in Logan's brown eyes, disbelief, "You"

Judging from the appearance, it is impossible for Jimmy to send Logan back. No matter how he sends it, it is impossible for a child who only reaches his knees to carry him so far.

"Thank you, son."

"you are welcome."

Logan didn't ask much. No matter how good the world is, there are always tragedies. Wanderers exist everywhere no matter which century they are in. Peace is just hope. The so-called equality of all people has never happened. Look at the beggars in the train station. Let's get together with the old scavenger in the garbage dump.

Jimmy didn't look for another topic. He took a bowl and a piece of bread and sat next to him and ate carefully. For Jimmy, every meal may not be the next one. Food is often a luxury in Jimmy's eyes. , not to mention that after giving some of it to Logan, there really wasn’t much food left.

"We'll sleep here at night" Logan asked.

Jimmy looked at him straight and said matter-of-factly: "We have nowhere else to go, and we have no money." As Jimmy spoke, he nibbled on the bread, his face full of contentment and happiness. Now he is happy For him, it was having company when eating this small piece of bread. People always looked at the waif with disgust, and there were not many people who could treat Jimmy like Logan.

Logan nodded and stared at the city lights with a layer of plastic film for a while, then looked at the simple tent made of tatters. There was no comparison between the two. He frowned. This was not the case at all. A place where a child can stay

After thinking for a moment, Logan looked into Jimmy's eyes and asked, "Do you want to sleep in the bed tonight?"

Jimmy looked up at Logan innocently. The stars were ignited in his eyes, blooming with an emotion called hope. He nodded his head fiercely and said, "Think"

Logan laughed, "If you really want to, uncle will take you there. What's your name?"

"My name is Jimmy."

Logan chewed the name several times between his lips and teeth, and a faint sense of familiarity came to his mind, "Jimmy, um, what a good name."

Logan has been wandering around the world for many years and has been working hard at the bottom. He knows the dark world very well. The forms of evil are similar no matter which city he is in. There will always be black boxing. It is very simple to fight black boxing. , at least it’s simple for Logan.

The place where the black boxing took place was not too far from Jimmy's cabin. Of course, it was not close to Jimmy. Jimmy followed Logan, holding his big hand tightly, and jogging for a short distance from time to time to catch up. He held Logan's four fingers tightly, his sweaty palms making Logan's hand wet and slippery. Logan wrapped his little hand in his palm with his backhand. The five fingers were very slender. He hadn't held hands with anyone like this for many years, but Jimmy's hands were really tenderer than women's hands. They were so soft and soft. I feel like it will break if I apply a little force.

After a while, Logan finally noticed something strange about Jimmy: he was too small, and he was almost scattered by the crowd when there were many people just now. Logan frowned, picked up the child and put it on his shoulder. Jimmy's weight couldn't hinder Logan at all, it was literally lighter than a feather. Logan thought: I have to raise him to be stronger, so Logan decided.

The light of the stars filled Jimmy and Logan's bodies, and soon they arrived at the underground arena.

Opening the door, excited cheers, fearful screams, and triumphant laughter were mixed together, rushing in like a wave. The air was turbid, filled with the strange smell of tobacco, sweat stains, and body odor. A big man turned around, The fierce look in his eyes made Jimmy flinch and move closer to Logan.

Jimmy saw a square iron cage. Two men were fighting and entangled like wild beasts inside, and the ground was stained with blood. Many men in the stands were waving banknotes and yelling and cursing at the top of their lungs, and all kinds of obscene words were simply unbearable to hear. However, the one who shouted the most was "kill.hi kill him."

For little Jimmy, while being scared, he is also fresh and curious. Perhaps as long as he is a male creature, he will be infected by this scene of men's passion for curiosity about black boxing.

Logan walked to the stands, put Jimmy down, and whispered into Jimmy's ear: "Are you afraid?"

Jimmy's eyes were bright and he answered simply, "I'm not afraid."

Logan smiled and said, "Well done, you are my little man. I hope your uncle will win you some food money."

Jimmy stood on a high platform and watched Logan strutting toward the battlefield like a god of war. The light of the incandescent lamp shone on Logan's body, illuminating his strong and tall shadow.

"Come on Uncle Logan" Jimmy yelled.

Logan turned his head, full of ruthlessness, and twitched his lips confidently and arrogantly: "I have never lost before."
