Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

It was a cart parked next to the waste recycling place. This kind of cart used to transport waste materials was just right enough for her to curl up in it like a comfortable bed.

After seeing that there was no one else on the weekend, Big Tail lay down directly. She was so tired, and after using her arms as a pillow and her tail as a quilt, she fell asleep comfortably.

Chapter 1376

Big Tail did have a sweet dream in her sleep, and her stomach growling in her sleep also provided a good source for her sweet dreams, that is, there were endless buttered bread for her to get.

But before she picked up the bread and ate it, the tabletop on which the bread was placed suddenly tilted. She thought that the bread would slide to the other side along with the slanted tabletop, but it turned out that it was not the person who slid away. Bread but yourself.

"Ouch!"

The close contact with the solid floor of the mobile city made her cry out in pain, but what is more unbearable than the physical pain is the psychological regret.

She just woke up and still remembered the bread in the dream just now. Even though this memory will fade quickly with the passage of time, the regret will linger for a long time.

And it was precisely because of this dream that her stomach became even hungrier and she began to sound the alarm crazily.

"Why are you sleeping here? It's very dangerous. Go, go!"

It seemed that the owner of the cart lifted her off, and Big Tail naturally had no way of arguing and could only be driven away. She only hoped to find an equally comfortable "bed" tonight.

In this new day, Big Tail discovered many seemingly viable jobs, but these jobs were hardly suitable for her.

Those newspaper boys who sell newspapers need to use part of the money as a deposit, but this deposit is not enough even if the big tail takes out all his property.

Those shoemakers who shine and repair other people's shoes are also doing a good job, but Big Tail doesn't have the skills, and they can't afford those tools.

The more I look at these jobs that require capital, the more resentful I become towards those so-called Guard Bureau operatives. It is they who took away my capital and made my life so uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she finally found a job that doesn't require any capital, that is, picking up bottles.

She has inquired about it, and a bottle can be exchanged for a dime. If you use this ratio, a cake is [-] bottles. Of course, water is free of charge. She can drink tap water. As for her favorite black One piece of food is only fifty bottles.

Although I have never been to school, this simple addition and subtraction is not difficult, and it is a knowledge forced out of life.

You can see people rummaging through trash cans for bottles to collect everywhere on this street. Some of them are dressed in tatters like the big tail before, and some are neat and tidy. They look like they should work in tall office buildings. And not here to pick up the bottle.

If you inquire, you will know that this is because the employees who were dismissed by the company because of their age, their decent attire is just the last fig leaf.

Anyway, no matter what their status is, as long as they join this industry, they only have one status, that is, scavengers.

If you are really self-respecting, you will only be bullied.

Big Tail is very envious of the big pockets of those professional scavengers. She can roughly count that one pocket can hold hundreds of bottles.

Naturally, she doesn't have such professional tools, and the only pocket she has is the grocery bag that ordinary people just dug out of the trash can, and the size can only hold a dozen bottles.

It is true that the bottles could hold more if they were squashed flat, but then the bottles would only be sold by weight rather than by count.

Selling by weight is suitable for those "rich people" who have their own garbage dumps. As for retail investors like Dawei, let's just talk about the number honestly.

Due to the lack of tools, Big Tail can only frequently shuttle between the garbage collection place and the street. Even if she thinks about it, she knows that the bottles next to the garbage collection place must be picked up immediately. She just wants more bottles. Can go to farther places.

Although it has been a few times, although she has indeed gained more than a dozen yuan, her body really can't bear it.

In the end, she picked up a bottle and put it in her pocket. The exhausted big tail sat down against a corner, and she put her pocket aside casually.

But before she could catch her breath, the bag containing the fruits of her labor was picked up by another old-looking female waste picker.

That person seemed to be convinced that Big Tail was easy to bully, and he didn't hide the whole process, just picked up the fruits of Big Tail's labor so openly.

"this is mine!"

She still wanted to go up and argue, but people didn't plan to reason with her, and she would just cover her face with countless "longmen swearing".

When did the big tail who came out of the poor mountains and rivers face such a situation, she was dumbfounded on the spot. She really didn't understand what the swearing was talking about, but it didn't prevent her from knowing that it was a curse, after all, from a person can be discerned by the tone of voice.

Since you can't say it, let's do it directly. Big Tail grabbed his own pocket and started to pull it back. The aunt was not to be outdone, but the pocket was gradually being taken back by Big Tail. Both sides were women, and Big Tail was undoubtedly much younger. have an advantage.

But she was destined to be unable to get the pocket back.

During this struggle, the pockets were directly broken, and Da Tail, who lost the container, could only pick up two of them with his hands, and just let the other bottles roll all over the floor.

Holding the last two bottles, she had no choice but to go back to the corner where she just sat and sit still, while the female waste picker picked up her spoils like a victor.

Some autistic big tails are indeed thinking about many things, but her thinking is not long-term, and more problems are very realistic.

That is how a weak person like her should protect herself. This time, she just took it away after she let it go, so will she directly grab it next time?

The saber has been confiscated by the Guards Bureau. They do have the function of maintaining order, but let Big Tail believe them?

No, those guards officers are definitely not trustworthy.

She touched her small bag, and the money in it had more than doubled, but at the same time, she looked at her shoes, which were seriously worn out today, and if they were broken, I don't know how many I would need Only the bottle can be exchanged for another pair.

The current situation of the big tail can be described in four words, that is, making ends meet.

It seems that the doubling of the deposit is entirely based on the fact that she has not eaten all day today.

She might be able to live one day at a time, but such a day will never last too long, as long as there is a little accident, she can be completely driven into the abyss.

'What the hell should I do...'

She wants to live a better life and is willing to pay a fair price, but there is no way for her to go on.

If she continued to think, she would undoubtedly be extremely desperate, but fortunately, the sudden smell of rice interrupted her thinking.

The thought of something to eat immediately overwhelmed everything else.

Chapter 1377

"Wow, Sister Xianlang is so pitiful, she can't even eat enough..." Xiao Ke lamented off the stage for the role played by the idle wolf, "So what's so good about the city? It's still in the forest where food can be found. better!"

"But Xiao Ke, what should I do if I encounter dangerous beasts and poisonous insects?"

"It's true that being bitten by insects is very painful, but we can eat them. As long as the poisonous parts of those insects are removed, they are especially delicious after frying them in oil!

The meat of those big cats and big dogs is not very tasty, some of them are too tough and taste strong, but they have a lot of fat that can be used to refine oil! "

Xiao Ke happily explained her knowledge of jungle survival, but she absolutely forgot that most ordinary people can directly go to the sky after being bitten by poisonous insects.

Even if they didn't go to heaven, they couldn't beat those ferocious beasts, let alone use the meat of those beasts to refine oil.

It's almost the same as the oil in their stomachs.

"Then Xiao Ke, how many people do you think can beat those beasts?"

Hearing Doris' question, Xiao Ke said unconvinced after counting on his fingers.

"Anyway, sister idle wolf must be able to fight!"

"That's also your idle wolf sister, not the big tail on the stage."

"Hey, aren't they the same person?"

It seems that the stupid Xiao Ke has not understood what is drama and what is acting.

"Fool..."

Seeing her dumbfounded appearance, Doris also uttered two words helplessly.

~

When the big tail followed the smell, she realized that there were still many people around, and the number on the vendor's signboard also surprised her, and she rubbed her eyes to make sure that she was not mistaken.

In terms of price alone, the price of a meal here is only two-thirds of that of other vendors. In terms of taste and portion, just looking at so many people here probably knows that even if the taste is not very good, the portion is definitely enough.

Anyway, just relying on this scent and big tail, I feel that the difference is not much worse.

There was definitely no order at all at the scene, and queuing was even more impossible, and when Dawei struggled to squeeze in, he saw that there were very few buckets for food left.

She has never seen this kind of yellow and white grains, and it is even more impossible to eat it, but her stomach is telling her that this kind of food is edible.

"Give me all the rest!"

Before she could utter her words, a child who was shorter than her uttered these words. Looking at the container handed out by that child, as long as she filled the container, she would have absolutely no share.

If this kid's job is taken away...

Seeing the food sold decrease and the food in the little girl's container increase, a dark thought is growing in her heart, but there is always someone who is one step ahead of her.

"You kid, how about selling me yours."

A thin but lean-looking man grabbed the child by the collar, trying to take away her food and some money from his bosom.

Da Wei hadn't seen this man before, he must have just arrived here, and when he saw that he was gone, he raised his hands in anger.

"What are you doing!"

The little girl also began to struggle and protested loudly.

"My family is still waiting for me to bring dinner back!"

"It's okay, with the money I gave you, you can buy it in another place."

It seems that the man does not intend to take advantage of it, and will buy the food at the original price, but is there another such cheap and affordable food in this block?

Even if there were, they would definitely be robbed. Even if the little girl had money, she wouldn't be able to buy them.

What does cheap food mean?

It means that such a family can spend more money in other places, and have more possibilities to change the fate of their family.

Terra may not have such a thing as the Engel coefficient, but this easy-to-understand philosophy of life is in the hearts of most people.

Seeing that her struggle was useless, the little girl could only look around for help, but the people around her looked indifferent, just because this matter had nothing to do with them, so why bother with this nosy business.

However, when the man was about to leave with the food, and the little girl's eyes gradually despaired, a man stood stiffly in front of the man and blocked him there.

"Give...give back the food in your hand...or..."

Obviously the whole body was trembling, but Big Tail still chose to stand up. She couldn't explain why she did such a thing, but she did it.

"Otherwise what can you do?"

"otherwise..."

Big Tail shook his heart, put his hands on his collar as if to tear it apart.

"Otherwise I will call!"

Every neighborhood has its own rules. In this neighborhood, it is forbidden to have such behaviors. Anyone who dares to do it will definitely be poked at the spine. If they are caught in the police, they will also be treated like soap .

If it was just blackmail, then the man wouldn't be afraid of big tail words at all, but now he doesn't stand for it, and he will continue to beg for life here in the future, otherwise he wouldn't use "buy" to take away the little girl Food on hand.
