[Interstellar] The king who doesn't want to return

Street 58 in Area E, even on Celeste, the capital star of the Galactic Federation, is a shadow area under the sun.

Irregular alleys with seven turns and eight bends, various private and illegal buildings in a disorderly manner, coupled with garbage dumps that have not been disposed of for a long time and uncovered trenches, make this area even more like a maze. Once you come in, you are guaranteed to spend half a day in it and you will not be able to get out.

Tang Rui went out as usual, locked the code, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and hummed along.

"Xiao Tang going to buy vegetables?" The blind old lady basking in the sun at the door next door greeted her.

"Yes, Grandma Lin, this weekend, the girl is going home after school." Tang Rui replied lazily.

"Then let Xiaoyan go to grandma's house to play, Xiaoju misses her very much." The old grandma smiled and pointed to the little girl who was peeking at the door with blinking eyes.

"Okay." Tang Rui agreed.

"What, isn't it just that your widow has fallen in love with Xiao Tang, and is still talking about that little oil bottle." A sour sarcasm came from the other side.

"Aunt Wang, good afternoon." Tang Rui smiled good-naturedly, without even frowning, "I still have to go to the market, the two of you can talk slowly."

"What's there to talk about with that dead old woman? My Hua'er is still a young girl, and she was spoiled by a woman who was dumped by a man!" Aunt Wang stood out with a pointed chin, showing a strange look.

"Isn't she just a mentally handicapped woman?" The widow of the Lin family who came out with the washbasin snorted coldly, then shook her hands, splashing out the whole basin of dirty water, more than half of which splashed on the wall opposite the door, causing Aunt Wang to curse sharply .

Tang Rui, who was already far away, heard the commotion behind him, shrugged, and continued humming and walking his own way.

Street No. 58, District E, the people who live here are exiled criminals and their family members, poor ghosts who cannot pay the rent for various reasons, or patients with diseases and disabilities that affect others are forced to enter this place by the government. at.

In short, no one would want to live here if they could survive outside.

Both Wang Lin and his family were exiled for violating federal laws, and they lived here for decades, but Tang Rui was different.

No one knows why he lives here. Although he knows that he is short of money and has a 15-year-old sister who is in school, Tang Rui is in good health and has no bad habits. The house can not afford to rent outside.However, this person ended up here. Many people said that this person was either avoiding revenge or in debt.

However, in any case, in such a shadowy area where crooked melons and dates are prevalent, Tang Rui, who is young, healthy and good-tempered, is still very popular with older girls and younger daughters-in-law.

"Hmm... green bamboo shoots, tofu, cabbage... I have to buy some salt when I'm running out... Xiaoyan is still growing up, and she's training hard. Would you like to buy a chicken for her to replenish..." Tang Rui walked around the market Turning around, looking serious.

The market in District C doesn't have much to offer, but it's cheap and will attract some poor people from nearby residential areas.

"It seems that there are still... 540 credits left, and there is still a week before the relief fund is released..." Tang Rui frowned, sighed after a long while, looked regretfully at the chicken that was cooing at him, turned and left .

Besides the dishes, Xiaoyan also ran out of potions...

"240 credits, thank you." The waitress with high cheekbones and pointed chin, with scarlet nails, threw it over to the credit card machine without looking up.

Tang Rui continued to sigh, picked up the ID card and swiped it, with a heartache on his face.

Put away the little medicine bottle, open the door and go out, suddenly feel that the weather is getting hotter.

Hmm...how about going back to the shop for a while?At least there is cold air blowing.

"It's in the way." The waitress' voice came from behind.

"Sorry." Tang Rui stepped aside quickly.

"You still buy RH1 potion with a poor face... Maybe you need it because you have done too much at night!" The woman walked past him cursing, and went to the opposite newsstand.

As soon as Tang Rui raised his head, a cold light flashed across his lazy eyes.

Looking back, he looked at the anti-theft combination lock on the side of the store door. He curled his lips, kicked the wall with his foot, and patted it again. Then he returned to his weak look, and walked down the stairs calmly.

The waitress quickly came back with a newspaper, only to find that the door was locked. Although she was a little puzzled, she didn't think too much, so she re-entered the password.

"Beep—" a harsh noise sounded, indicating that the password was wrong. The next moment, the red and blue lights in the store flickered a few times, and amidst the huge alarm bell, a spray of water fell from the sky...

"Ah~~~" The woman couldn't help screaming.

The password she entered was obviously correct, and she had to enter it several times a day—even if it was wrong, it would take three consecutive mistakes to trigger the anti-theft system, and she only entered it wrong once!The most important thing is that it is an anti-theft lock, and it is true that the alarm bell rings for theft, but... why is it the fire system that is finally triggered!

Looking dumbfounded at the vast ocean in the store, the fire valve could not be turned off if she couldn't enter the door, the woman couldn't help but her legs went limp and she sat down on the ground.

The medicine inside...she will pay for it!

"Hmm...it's really nerve-wracking." Tang Rui returned to the poultry market again, staring at the chicken in a daze.

"Hey, that boy over there is so pretty."

"He's been standing there for a long time, waiting for someone?"

"No way, you can tell by his clothes that he's not from District E."

"It's not lost..."

Not far away were the voices of two women whispering, and the bored Tang Rui also turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a boy standing alone in the sun outside.

About sixteen or seventeen years old, with a handsome appearance, but not the "beautiful" that women talk about, the low-key but expensive casual clothes hide muscle lines, Tang Rui believes that as long as he erupts, he will break his leg with a kick Alloy plates are stress-free.

After thinking about it, Tang Rui quickly put on a gentle smile and walked forward.

"Huh?" The young man was lowering his head to think about something, when suddenly he felt that his eyes were darkened, as if something blocked the sunlight, and he raised his head involuntarily.

Really... very clean eyes, probably a student of the Capital Military Academy?If he had been on the battlefield and seen blood, he would no longer have such eyes.

Suddenly, Tang Rui felt a trace of regret, the regret that a beautiful thing will soon pass away.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" With confidence in his mind, his smile became more gentle, but in the eyes of those familiar with him, he probably felt even more shuddering... The villain who claims to want everything but his face and throws nothing but integrity, actually Will it look like a good-natured youth?Ninety-nine percent is child abduction and trafficking!

"Contact...terminal." The young man frowned, as if he was having some difficulty, the four words came out hesitantly.

contact terminal?Tang Rui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized.

This is really a young man who lost his way and forgot to bring his contact device. He wants to ask his family for help. Unfortunately, this is No. 58 Street, District E... The contact terminal is indeed a must-have for every household outside, but in this exile by the government The area is restricted, even if there is a terminal, there is no signal-the government does not want people here to integrate into the outside world.No wonder he stood here for so long, just based on his face, someone should have helped him long ago.

Tang Rui shrugged, and was about to say something when he suddenly met those pure eyes.

The boy didn't speak, but just looked at him like this, with a hint of grievance in his eyes.

"Uh..." Tang Rui scratched his face subconsciously.

"Cuckoo..." The chickens behind them croaked again.

"Okay, I have that thing at home, but I still need to buy vegetables..." Tang Rui said, noticing the boy's bright eyes, he smiled slyly, "Well, you help me buy vegetables, as my How about the reward for lending you to contact the terminal?"

"En." The boy nodded immediately, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with this request.

So Tang Rui turned around quickly and shouted at the owner of the poultry market: "Old Wu, kill me a chicken, hey, it's not this one, it's too thin, I want your son!"

"Damn! I'm not even married, how could I have a son!" Old Wu cursed with a smile, and went to the innermost place to grab a fat and strong chicken that was as proud as a chicken king.

"Anyway, you are about to raise that chicken as your son." Tang Rui curled his lips, took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, took a deep breath, and exhaled a light blue smoke ring. For a moment, his eyes were a little hazy.

Turning back slightly, he saw the boy staring curiously at Lao Wu's action of killing chickens without blinking.

"Why, what do you think?" Tang Rui looked at the young master amusedly.

"Hmm..." The young man pursed his lips, organized his words carefully, and said after a while, "There are too many useless movements."

"What?" Tang Rui was taken aback for a moment, unable to understand.

"The neck... is one inch and three inches deep, half an inch deep, it will kill you with a single blow, and it won't splatter blood." The young man looked serious, and although it was difficult to speak, he still tried his best to express his meaning clearly.

Tang Rui's hands trembled, and the cigarette almost fell to the ground.

It's just killing a chicken, you kid is assassinating the head of the government...

"Okay!" Old Wu had already thrown the cleaned chicken over.

The boy obediently swiped his card to pay, and obediently picked up the bag.

Tang Rui whistled, a little proud of his momentary kindness.It would be nice to have a younger brother who can pay the bills and carry bags part-time. After shopping for vegetables, let’s go buy a few packs of cigarettes.

"Little ghost..." Tang Rui called out.

"Zhou Yuze." It was rare for the young man to spit out coherent words.

"Oh, I'll call you Xiao Zhou." Tang Rui nodded, and quickly forgot the vague sense of familiarity in his heart.

Where did you hear the name?Forget it, anyway, they met by chance, and the money and the goods are equal, whoever he is.
