steel horn

A night without words.The next morning, a bowl of breakfast was placed on the rough unpainted log table.

Ke Xia looked at the confused yellow and green things in the bowl and asked, "What is this?"

Shao Jun said expressionlessly: "It's the elm money that grows on the elm tree in the yard. According to the encyclopedia, it is edible. Every 100 grams of elm money fruit contains 82 grams of water, 3.4 mg of protein, and 9 mg of ascorbic acid. Among them, the content of calcium and phosphorus is relatively rich. , has the effect of clearing heat and calming the nerves, can treat neurasthenia and insomnia, and eating more elm money can help digestion and prevent constipation."

The expression on Ke Xia's face was indescribable. He picked up the elm money with a fork and asked, "What's the yellow thing on it?"

"corn flour."

"If I remember correctly, that's for feeding pigs, right?" Disgust and disgust had already appeared on the face of the pretty little princess.

"The encyclopedia says it's edible."

Ke Xia dropped his fork: "How is this thing made, can it be eaten?"

Shao Jun paused: "Wash and drain the elm money, wrap it in cornmeal and steam it, mix it with pepper powder, garlic, soy sauce and vinegar, it's edible."

Ke Xia said: "If you can eat it, why don't the people in the slums outside eat it?"

"We're out of money."

Ke Xia was speechless for a while.

"I can get thirty copper coins for moving goods to the port every day, ten during the day and twenty at night, twenty copper coins are needed for food expenses, and the remaining ten copper coins are saved for your tuition fees. I originally saved ten silver coins , but you lost all the glass windows you broke yesterday, and you haven’t got any wages today, so you can only eat this for breakfast.”

Ke Xia's face turned red and white.

Shao Jun said: "I'm going out to work." After he finished speaking, he walked out. He didn't have time to slowly persuade this child who doesn't know the sufferings of the world. People here really don't eat money. He always asks if it can be eaten, is it delicious, how to eat it, and then tosses out the magical country of various eating methods, and he would never think of making Yuqian rice.

In the evening, Shao Jun received his wages and bought some dried meat and came back. The child was growing up, and if he really didn't eat the money, he would probably go crazy from hunger.

When I got back, the rice in the pot was empty, and the bento box was also empty. It seems that reality can still teach people how to behave.

After discovering a new way of eating, Shao Jun also became a little unscrupulous. He simply picked the tender wormwood and some wild vegetables that grew on the edge of the port and washed them clean. Every time I saw unfamiliar food on the table, my expression was indescribable, but I ate it silently.

However, adolescent boys are still not nourished enough. Ke Xia entered the growth period, and his bones began to ache at night, and he couldn't sleep repeatedly.Shao Jun used the simple blood test system that came with him to test his blood, and all the trace elements were low. Worried about his illness, he took him to the community hospital.The doctor only said it was growing pains, and more nutrition should be added.After checking the body and looking at the test sheet, it is suggested that children should eat more meat, supplement protein, drink milk, and eat more fruits.

Fruits are extremely expensive. Shao Jun bought three taels of purple berries and spent twenty copper coins, and ordered him a portion of milk. After buying fruit, he couldn't afford meat. Shao Jun also had a hard time, but one night He was passing by the field on night shift, and saw a few fat wild flying squirrels scurrying through the dark bushes, and suddenly had an idea.

Afterwards, Ke Xia ate rich broth, meat patties, steamed eggs, and meat soup, which tasted very good, tender and rich.Soon his face was red again, and his height and weight increased rapidly, and he was about to exceed 1.7 meters.

While Shao Jun was relieved, he was also a little surprised at the speed of his body's development, which had already surpassed his previous cognition. If the growth speed was related to mental strength... Could it be that the child wanted to grow up himself, so he was rejected by him before? Did the body start to grow when the mental strength was delayed?

Shao Jun checked in the database and found that although there are many research papers on mental power, there is no very reliable argument in this regard, but there are indeed studies that point out that people with high mental power have a certain influence on their physical growth. However, judging from the law of current research and demonstration, high mental strength is still inversely proportional to growth and development speed. The higher the mental strength, the slower the physical and mental development process. ** Matching, so that when the body grows to the peak, it can also reach a higher peak of spiritual power.

At the same time, the willful and willful childishness before seems to disappear with the growth of the body. Ke Xia even asked Shao Jun once where he got the money to buy so much meat. Shao Jun only said that it was the night shift because he couldn't hire anyone, so he added money. up.

Anyway, robots don't need to sleep, so Ke Xia didn't think much about it.

However, Shao Jun also realizes that as this child grows up, it will be difficult to continue fooling around. They get along day and night, and sooner or later he will discover the difference between him and a robot.

Be prepared to leave.

It was half a month before the exam time, neither of them had an ID card, so they couldn't buy a suspension train ticket, Shao Jun was still a robot, and the security check was a bit sad, so Shao Jun bought two tickets to Lorraine After getting the bus ticket, I started to pack my luggage and prepare to go to the capital Lorraine to take the exam.

Minors under the age of 20 are regarded as incapacitated minors. They do not need to issue an ID card to participate in any school entrance examination. After passing the exam, they can study for free until the age of 20. If they do not have an ID card, the school will apply for a temporary identity. After the age of 20, you can enter a university, and as long as you are admitted to a university, you can obtain the official legal status of the alliance. Students under the age of 50 can still enjoy a certain amount of government subsidies every month when they go to college. If they are in military schools, they will be free of charge.Ke Xia is already there, and the military academy needs a physical examination. No matter how young he looks, he can't hide from the medical examination equipment. He must be admitted to a school before the age of 20, and then to a university before he can have the opportunity to obtain the official legal status of the alliance. .

There are many schools in the capital, and even if Shannan School fails the exam, they still have the opportunity to try other schools. It only takes two years at most before they can let go. Shao Jun feels much more relaxed.

Since that fight, Ke Xia has also become more honest, doing the questions silently every day, and the two of them silently prepared to go to Lorraine.

That night, Shao Jun went to the night shift as usual. After all, going to the capital cost a lot, especially since the two of them didn’t have IDs, so they had to spend more money on many things. For example, the levitation train from Lishan From a small place to Lorraine, it only costs five silver coins, which is fast and safe, but the bus, which mainly transports goods, needs ten silver coins per person, not to mention other daily necessities. It is double or triple the point deduction in the direct ID. One can imagine what it will be like in the capital, so the more money the better.

After finishing a set of mock questions, Ke Xia went to bed as usual, but was awakened by a slight noise in the middle of the night. Since he passed through the night of annihilation, he has never had a restful sleep. The wind blows the window, the rain knocks on the eaves He would wake up with a start, and then the hatred followed him like a shadow, making him unable to sleep again.

But the noises this night were very different, the door lock clicked, and someone actually entered the small courtyard!Ke Xia's hairs stood on end, and he got out of bed and leaned against the door. His first reaction was to call the police, and then he remembered that he was a gangster, and calling the police would lead to repatriation or forced sending to a refugee orphanage.

He quickly weighed his current situation, looked in the narrow cabin, only retracted under the bed, and hid behind the newly packed suitcase under the bed.

Click, someone entered the hut and whispered: "Didn't you say there is a child at home? Why isn't it here?"

Someone said impatiently: "Who knows, maybe I can take it out to work. Wouldn't it be better not to be here? How much trouble would be saved. I have been observing for many days. This man works day and night every day and has a lot of money in his hand. The day before yesterday, Lao Hei said that he spent twenty silver coins to buy two bus tickets, without any hesitation, these two are imperial black households, they have no account, they can only deposit cash, there must be a lot of money in the house! Find it quickly!"

The room began to stir constantly, and the voice became more and more rough and unscrupulous: "It's only that big, no! Could it be that you carry it all with you?"

"Impossible. It's inconvenient to carry so many silver coins on the pier. I look for them carefully. The corners of the clothes are pinched. These poor people like to sew them into clothes or shoes." Plop plop, simple clothes in the closet Each piece was pulled out, shaken, pinched, and thrown on the floor.

Ke Xia held his breath and huddled under the bed, only to hear a person say: "Ha! There is a suitcase under the bed! The money must be inside!" With a bang, the suitcase in front of him was pulled out, and a person looked down to check At the bottom of the bed, Ke Xia's eyes met with Ke Xia who was looking out.

! ! ! !

Before the wretch could scream, Ke Xia had already rushed out from under the bed, bumping his head hard into the nose of the man who had no time to react!

boom!The man's eyes went dark, his nose hurt sharply, liquid dripped from his nostrils, and his head became dizzy. Ke Xia had already got out of the bed, and rushed towards the open door quickly!

But a hand quickly grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him back from the door abruptly!A man with a fleshy face grinned grinningly: "Little bastard who doesn't know how to live or die!"
