Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

Chapter 1359 People's joys are different

According to Luo Ling's description, she was a relatively ordinary girl in the past.

But thinking about how she was like a shrew when she first met her, and she was not at all intimidated by the underworld and flirted with each other, Lei Lang felt that the relatively common word "relative" was really good.

At that time, her relatives had just passed away and only left her a small house, which was also her only property, and also left her with a disease called ore disease.

Due to her ignorance of ore disease, she was infected during the funeral for her relatives, but she didn't know what was going on at that time.

Even if she knew it now, she could only sigh, and she didn't have any other complicated feelings. Anyway, she felt that life in Edelweiss was much more comfortable than in Longmen.

However, the small house at that time was not so messy, and because it was in Longmen, where every inch of land was expensive, it was considered a considerable fortune.

What's more, because of the solidarity of the neighbors in the neighborhood, no one came to take advantage of her property, so she did lead a normal life at the beginning, until the origin stone crystals began to grow in her body.

Leaving aside whether this disease can be cured or not, it is not a simple matter to suppress and live in the past. Even a noble from a small country may be powerless, let alone her, a low-class citizen of Longmen.

But at that time, she was still actively trying to save herself, and she knew that a black doctor seemed to have a cure for ore disease, but the price was not cheap.

"That must be a liar, a liar!"

An Suo, who was listening to the story, raised her fist and shouted, but what she said was not wrong, the black doctor was a liar, but since he had already died in the battle of Longmen, he couldn't be held accountable.

Luo Ling was also skeptical at the time, but the black doctor's treatment was not so expensive at the beginning, so people can try it out.

So Luo Ling went there, and her illness really got better.

"The way he tried it was very simple. He gave me some kind of pill directly after anesthesia, and then cut off the ore crystal." Luo Ling smiled wryly, "I found out later that the pill was a simple placebo. People who are treated this way are in remission at first, but then rapidly deteriorate."

But since this was all learned later, then Luo Ling must not have known it at the time, so after she was determined to cure her ore disease, she used her small room to borrow a large sum from the local underworld money.

Her original intention was to use most of it to cure the ore disease, and then use a small part to buy a ticket to escape from Longmen to a place where the underworld can no longer find it.

So Luo Ling, who was able to make such a plan, was not ordinary at all, she was not a simple person from the inside.

"After getting nearly 18 Longmen coins, I put all the money in the inner bag of my jacket and sewed the bag up with thread. I was about to go home only to find that it was Requiem Night, and there was an event held on the street. The temple fair is full of people coming and going."

Idle Wolf can also be regarded as having experienced the Requiem Night Temple Fair in Longmen. Indeed, the festive atmosphere is strong and it is a good place to relax.

"At that time, I was planning for the future, and when I was relaxed, I neglected a lot. As a result..."

After saying that, Luo Ling glanced at the secret cable at the side again, and the meaning was obvious.

"My money was stolen by a thief, my pocket was cut by a razor blade, and I was taken away with the wallet, and no change was left for me."

"It's better to have it stolen by me than to give it to those crooks. Besides, I can't help it. At that time, there was a child who was sick and needed treatment, and then I saw Xiaoling, your pocket was bulging of..."

A certain thief was making weak sophistry, but his tone didn't look confident, but rather like he was making a final struggle.

"There's nothing to talk about in the future. While fighting wits with the gangsters to prevent the house from being confiscated and living on the streets, I'm doing odd jobs to pick up bottles to get some living expenses until your arrival."

He secretly thought that this really hurt Luo Ling, no wonder he had to repay the debt later.

"Thank you for your explanation, I now have some clues, so what about the clues, what is your story?"

"I?"

An Suo didn't expect that the topic would turn to her, and then saw the lines underlined in the script handed over by the idle wolf, and suddenly realized.

"Oh, you mean this, the Longmen in the past was not a good place..."

Seeing the words in the script, An Suo said everything idle wolf wanted to know.

At the beginning, Ansuo also tried begging, but how much money can she get in a slum where everyone is poor, she can't even eat enough.

As for the downtown area, there is a little harvest there, and she will give her some food when she meets kind-hearted people.

Xiao Ansuo also thought about how many good things she would get if she went to beg in the upper city, would there be an unfinished half hamburger for her, forgive Xiao Ansuo, the hamburger is the most delicious thing she can imagine .

But in the end, Ansuo was stopped by the guards in the upper city, where a little beggar like her was not allowed to go there, so she had no choice but to stay in the lower city and the slums.

At that time, Xiao Ansuo still had some dreams, and she felt that if she could save some money, she would be able to live a better life, so she saved one or two Longmen coins every day, until one day she found the newsboy The presence.

She was a little jealous after seeing that the Longmen Coins that those newsboys got after selling a newspaper were almost the harvest of her hours of begging, and she also wanted to join them.

Newsboys are not jobs that dress as decently as postmen. Small newsboys have to rush to get today's newspaper early in the morning, and even some newsboys sleep in front of the newspaper office in order to get the first-hand newspaper. The thing used to keep warm is the newspaper that was not sold the day before, as long as you cover yourself under the newspaper, and use a little heavy object to hold it down so that it will not be blown away.

"It doesn't look very pretty, but it's still warm."

Why Xiao Ansuo knew, it was because she was weak and slowed down, and she failed to sell a single newspaper.

Xiao Ansuo didn't have the ability to resist risks, and just this time made her completely bankrupt. In the end, she could only sell the newspapers to the street stalls to store food, and used the money to buy food that she was usually reluctant to eat. The street burger was a real treat.

Just one of those cheap ones made with a small patty of unknown meat, eggs and a little cheese.

Afterwards, Xiao Yinsuo, who had gained morale, began to regroup.

Chapter 1360 Sad but just as sad

"It's not easy to find a job in Longmen, especially for a kid like me."

Ansuo sighed softly, and others would never know what kind of emotion was contained in her sigh, but this was also Ansuo's most helpless summary of his childhood experience.

While begging, Xiao Yinsuo, who was completely bankrupt, was still observing other businesses, trying to find a more stable source of life.

The benefits of begging are too unstable, and she who has just been kicked out of the house and has seen the prosperity of Longmen still has a little delusion to live a better life.

She also wanted a shelter from the elements instead of living on a street corner.

As for the bridge hole?It has long been occupied by the "powerful" homeless people, and Xiao Yinsuo dare not join them, otherwise, even the bones will be chewed and swallowed.

Those vagrants don't eat people directly, but there are countless ways to make life worse for Xiao Yinsuo.

Xiao Ansuo didn't know what "harvesting and cutting" is a method of finding living people, using sharp tools to maim them, and then offering the severed limbs to ghosts and gods in order to get something for themselves.

But she has seen those handicapped children, their income from begging is much higher than that of Xiao Yinsuo, but the life of those people is much worse than hers, and there is always an adult watching behind them.

So don't talk about asking for help to join, now Xiao Ansuo sees that these people are hiding far away for fear of being caught at any time.

Little Darksuo has tried many tricks in hiding here and there, but it is no surprise that all his attempts ended in failure.

"I knew it after that day. It is impossible for a child like me to live normally in Longmen. I have worked hard..."

Luo Ling hugged Ansuo with her arms, but she could feel her trembling slightly, so she looked at Leisure Wolf with a dissatisfied expression. Looking at her, it was like tearing open someone's wound and observing carefully.

Finally, one winter, she hadn't eaten anything for two days, and she reached out to the backpack of a passerby, feeling a little dizzy, and took out an ordinary pocket watch from his bag, and used this pocket watch to A recycler I knew before exchanged it for a hot dog bun with ham sausage made of starch.

This is undoubtedly an unequal exchange, but it also allows Ansuo to find the benefits of being a child, that is, most people will not be wary of you.

Of course she knew stealing was wrong, but what could she do?It's all about staying alive.

Like she said, she's tried.

"Don't even mention that children have an advantage. If they are discovered, they may not be beaten. It is best to be arrested by the police. They can also go to the detention center to earn a living."

With a playful tone, the words spoken are so sad.

"Did you not care about this kind of thing in the past?"

Behind the idle wolf, there is a person who looks like a dragon but is not a dragon. The race of Jiu is still a mystery. There are too many fantasy species in Yan Kingdom, so the classification is extremely vague. Maybe she is the only one in the whole race of Jiu. maybe.

"I can't manage it."

Faced with the questioning, Nine, who was specially called by the idle wolf and listened to the whole story, could only give one explanation for this.

"At that time, there were not many people I could manage. All I could do was to keep these children from being abducted and try to protect their safety as much as possible."

Perhaps this is also able to explain why Xiao Ansuo, a child, can safely grow up in a place like Longmen where fish and dragons are mixed, but this explanation is not enough.

"Longmen has no welfare policy for such children at all. Although there are indeed rooms where they can live temporarily, those rooms have already been filled. Letting those children in there now is undoubtedly murdering them."

Jiu was very helpless, that time was also a past that she didn't want to recall, or a past that no one with a conscience would want to recall.

"At that time, Longmen was developing at a high speed, and countless people wanted to squeeze into this city every day or even every hour. Boss, you can't imagine how terrifying the place used to detain these refugees is.

Nearly a hundred people were forcibly crammed into a room that could only accommodate ten people. Each of them didn't even have room to lie down. If they wanted to sleep, they had to take turns to sleep, and they didn't have any heating facilities.

I can't imagine what would happen if there was a fire or plague in there, but I can't do anything about it.

All we can do in the Guards Bureau is to repatriate them, but even if we drive them out of Longmen, we can see them here again within two days.

These are not refugees from other countries, they are all compatriots of Yan Kingdom itself..."

Nine's conclusion is very simple, because they may be able to survive if they stay here, but they must not survive in the wasteland.

"What my guards and I can do is to try to separate ore disease patients and non-infected patients into different rooms, but even so, some people still conceal whether they are infected...

It also led to an accident in the detention center, which caused 76 people to be infected and 13 people to die, all in one room. "

So many people died all at once in more than a dozen bungalows, it was really a purgatory on earth. You must know that this was not because of war or other reasons, but just refugees detained.

"We can only temporarily vacate that room, continue to use it after disinfection, and stuff more people."

As for why not build more detention centers?The answer is no money.

Longmen is indeed rich, but all of Longmen's money belongs to Wei Yanwu's family, and is their family's private property. He never thought of investing this part of money in such a place that would not produce any income.

Of course, Wei Yanwu finally came up with a solution, which was to build a flesh and blood factory. These refugees quickly entered it voluntarily because they had no other way of life, and became the fuel for the rapid development of Longmen.

And he never enjoyed the benefits brought by the rapid development of Longmen until his death. Let's just say that the workers in the Longmen factory are lucky enough to live to be 30 years old.

It was not until later that Longmen no longer needed to accumulate primitive capital in this way, and the treatment of workers was better.

This process happened to be the process of Xiao Ansuo growing up from a child. She saw the darkness of Longmen's accumulation of primitive capital, but because her vision was so big, she couldn't see more.

After Luo Ling, Ansuo and Jiu Cong's descriptions of the three different classes, Idle Wolf once again confirmed that the main stage of this stage play is this fast-growing, prosperous and flesh-eating Longmen.

Chapter 1361 Little People Under Natural Disasters

"Hey, are you asking us two?"

Amy seems to have returned to the time when she was in Wollenmud. As long as she stayed in front of the idle wolf, she felt panic, as if she felt a suppression from the ecological niche.

"Well, that little man didn't say that I would be questioned a second time when he came to ask me for information..."

"Don't be so scared, we are not friends, we have never been like this before."

Maybe it's the same as what a great man said, I have already had a deep gap with her.

But the word "friend" still played a certain role. Amy calmed down after taking two deep breaths. At this time, the little girl named Emma beside her was much more shocked. After the wolf handed out the lollipop, he observed quietly without saying a word.

"Leader, do you have any questions to ask Sister Amy, and I can answer some things for her."
