steel horn

Shao Jun didn't know that he and Ke Xia had already been wanted by the alliance. After overhearing Mike's communication, he smashed the door lock leading to the bottom cabin in the chaos of the pirate attack, and opened the door for the stowaways to escape. They surged onto the deck to create chaos, and took Ke Xia with them into the police boat. After landing, they sneaked onto the port shore in the dark.

Ke Xia stood naked on the shore and lost his temper with Shao Jun: "Why do you have to run away like this! I have eaten several mouthfuls of sea water!"

Shao Jun was expressionless, and replied in a versatile way: "After calculation, this is the best escape plan."

There is a red moon in the sky, and the smog covers the harbor. There are coolies moving back and forth on the roadside, some people are picking up relatives and friends, and there are hawkers selling fresh fish and other things. It is bustling and bustling, although some people occasionally take a look at these two people who are a little wet Clothes, but don't pay special attention to them.There is a boat in the harbor just docked, and a group of children are disembarking one after another. They are all dressed in uniform blue robes. They are quiet and well-behaved. People in church robes wearing blue and white robes are directing them to disembark. , on the shore, someone commented: "It's a church orphanage."

"There was a plague in Tielin, and many died. I heard that the church adopted many orphans."

"Does the National Welfare Institute not care?"

"No way, how much money can be adopted by the National Welfare Institute. It is no better than the church, where believers donate, and most of the children are willing to go to the church. Besides, it is not compulsory to believe in religion. They can go to college when they grow up. in another industry."

"That's true. I heard that there is a lot of corruption at the National Welfare Institute. Last time, there was a scandal in the Republican newspaper, saying that the rations of children and the elderly were being deducted. It would be better to go to a church orphanage."

The group of children from the orphanage lined up on the shore, seemingly waiting for the bus, Ke Xia saw Ling Lingqi staring at the group of children, the artificial eyeballs refracting an unknown light in the darkness.

An inexplicable vigilance trembled from his spine, and for some unknown reason, Ke Xia suddenly had an idea that the robot butler in front of him, who was supposed to be obedient, wanted to abandon him.This is absurd. Obedience to the master is the iron law written in the core of the robot, but he felt uneasy with the intuition of a small animal. He suddenly grabbed Zero Zero Seven's hand tightly and ordered: "Take me away! I don't want Stay here."

The robot's inorganic black eyes turned around, looked at him, and replied blankly: "Yes." It was the same as before, but Ke Xia's sense of crisis was not relieved: "Take me away!" He didn't want to stay Next to the orphans in this orphanage, it made him feel like he might become one of them at any moment.

Although he is indeed an orphan now.

Shao Jun took his hand and walked away. Ke Xia was at a loss and didn't know where he should go. He felt very tired and couldn't move after walking for a while, so Shao Jun carried him on his back , and continued walking, he didn't dare to think about the future, so he fell into a sleep in a daze.

After that, he got seriously ill, which was obviously inevitable. A pampered and pampered noble child suddenly experienced the shock of exterminating his family, and then stayed in the bottom cabin with no sunlight and no fresh air for more than ten days. The shock, depression and anger Needless to say, I was at a loss, my body had repeated fevers.He only knew that he was placed on the bed, that 007 would give himself injections every day, and feed himself gruel, and when he was fully awake, he had already stayed in a small rented room.

The small house is in a deep alley, and the outer walls are wooden houses nailed in disorder. This slum is called Kibera Street. There are such densely packed small houses everywhere, scattered and gloomy, and some of them are even half-collapsed. However, there are still people living there, some of which are group rented houses, with more than a dozen people living in one room.Like the slums and shantytowns in all cities, it is full of all kinds of black households, blind people, illegitimate children of pirates, whores, thieves, criminals are high, the police turn a blind eye, and the strong are king.However, it was only here that the two of them could be hidden. In order to conceal his identity, Shao Jun rented a suite with a small yard ruthlessly.

There are tall elm trees in the yard casting green shade, and the sunlight passing through the gaps in the green leaves casts like golden threads on the very clean hut. In one's own room, it is a nightmare to shoot and kill people and smuggle people.

Generally speaking, although it is small and simple, the room is quite clean.The landlady, Mrs. Ludaisi, is a fat, middle-aged aunt with reddish-brown hair. She came to see him with a smile: "Poor boy, is your name Xia Ke? Are you recovering? Your cousin is worried about you, don't worry." Live here with me, no one will check here."

Ke Xia couldn't figure out how a robot could do so many things, such as smuggling, fleeing, and renting a house, but he had nowhere to go, and refused to think about his own future, so he naturally accepted that the robot must protect its master "that is, it can do so many things." "The setting, and did not think about it.

He whimpered and asked to go back to the empire, he didn't want to be a black household here, a down-and-out commoner.The robot calmly and rationally bought a copy of "League Daily" and showed it to him: "Your uncle, Prince Ke Ji, has ascended the throne, and the former prince died in a car accident. Your father, Prince Ke Rong, inherited, because your grandfather is still alive after all, but before everyone could react, Prince Ke Rong was suddenly destroyed, and then the old emperor passed away, Prince Ke Ji ascended the throne, and the young master , do you understand what this means?"

Ke Xia was at a loss, and didn't think it was strange that a robot could analyze better than himself. Shao Jun continued to tell him: "After the death of the crown prince, it is very likely that the old emperor intends to let your father inherit the throne, or it is possible that he is already dead. Your father’s will is that your father inherits the throne, so your father has caused unexpected disasters—so you can’t show up again, if you go back, most of the people who face you will die of illness quietly when the masses forget about you.”

Ke Xia shivered slightly: "That's my uncle!"

Shao Jun reminded him coldly: "Your sister is unlikely to inherit the throne, but she was still killed, so you who are qualified to inherit the throne, you understand what will happen?"

Ke Xia thought of the terrible scene, screamed, and suddenly trembled and howled again. He didn't know if it was crying for his dead parents and sister, or he was desperate for the status quo that he couldn't go back.

The boy now looks like a little boy, the original fat baby fat has disappeared, the skin is dry, lacks nutrition and loses its luster, the hair is messy and curled up, the eyes are very big, the hands are long and the feet are long and shrunk, Crying more and more sad, more and more wronged.

When he didn't seem to stop crying, his whole body twitched slightly, and Shao Jun was a little at a loss. Back then, when his child was the golden and precious little county king, he would cry at the slightest pain and wait for his mother to come. Gently embracing and comforting, Shao Jun was inexperienced, after thinking for a while, he could only reach out and hug him into his arms, trying to calm the child's broken emotions.

This is not a warm embrace. The body temperature of the robot is always constant, which is why it is actually lower than that of ordinary people. The clothes are made of rough linen, which is very different from the soft and smooth silk dress with the fragrance of the mother's embrace in the past. same.Ke Xia thought of his mother and cried even more sadly.

At last the boy fell asleep, sobbing sadly in his dream.

Shao Jun felt a little helpless, feeling that he was really not good at raising children—maybe, that experienced pastor would be able to appease him?Sure enough, he should have handed him over to the church orphanage?

After crying this time, Ke Xia finally accepted the fact that he became a gangster in the alliance. He would get out of bed and go out to look at the dilapidated brick walls and tall elm trees outside, but he was very sensitive when he saw the children who were looking at him curiously. Xidi shrank back home and hid in the house all day long in a daze. There was nothing in the small rental house, only a bed, a table and two benches, and the small kitchen and bathroom were also very simple.

Seeing that his mood had finally stabilized, Shao Jun gave him a blood test and found that his body was fine. The lack of energy and diet should be caused by the spirit, which can only be healed by time.So he told him that he wanted to go out and work nearby to earn rent, but Ke Xia didn't object. After all, although he was underage, he still knew that it was difficult to move without money.

So Shao Jun found a nearby bag-carrying job at the wharf. There was no other way. The virtual network, whether it was an alliance or an empire, could only be used by people from the upper middle class.In addition to the virtual network, Shao Jun, who has no documents, no household registration, no academic qualifications, and only a handful of strength, can only be a coolie on the dock who resists contracting and unloading goods that no one with legal residency authority is willing to do for the time being.

Fortunately, he has a mechanical body, so he doesn’t feel tired. He unloads goods mechanically back and forth every day, and he can get money according to the number of pieces, and then buy the vegetables and rice for the next day and bring them back to Ke Xia. Fortunately, there is only one person to eat , Shao Jun calculated, if things go on like this, he can still make some money.
