I know the taste of the sea

And the owner of the pair of sapphires just glanced at him, and continued to run without leaving too much eyes.

Shen Jue keenly heard the sound of uniform footsteps not far away, it was the sound that belonged exclusively to the army.

Shen Jue glanced at the boy who was much taller than him, finally gritted his teeth, and made a decision that changed his fate ever since.

He rushed forward and grabbed the young man's hand. Before the other party threw him away, he said in a low voice: "Don't go there, you will be caught."

The young man paused, and at the moment he stopped, Shen Jue dragged him into an alley beside him without a moment's pause.

In this area, Shen Jue is like a fish in water, so slippery that no one can catch it.

He led the boy, looked straight ahead, and easily climbed over obstacles that were much higher than him, and then looked at the boy who was still standing there: "Come here!"

The boy frowned, and stepped over, but his hand touched his pocket.

Shen Jue didn't know what he was thinking, he just thought that this was a "vagrant boy" from the other side of Silo City, where many nobles and wealthy businessmen lived.

It is difficult to "make a living" there, but all they can eat are good things that they can't eat.

His elder brother was sent to the army just to steal a carton of fresh milk for him, and he has never been heard from since.

Shen Jue could tell at a glance that the boy's clothes were not tattered like theirs, not to mention that the boy looked very white and was taller than all their street children.

He should be eating well.

It turns out that the food in the "mixed rice" on the other side of Silo City is so good.

Shen Jue originally wanted to take the young man to their camp, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he turned abruptly in the direction of his feet: "...It's not very convenient there."

Obviously the boy didn't ask anything, but he explained without silver 300 taels: "It's very cold over there now."

The young man just looked at him deeply, and let him lead him into a deeper street.

They ran past the dilapidated and old houses, obviously there was no one around, but Shen Jue's speed didn't stop at all.

The boy's hand in his pocket gradually tightened.

He followed behind Shen Jue, staring at Shen Jue's neck.

For such a young child, although he is agile, but too thin and weak, he can kill with one blow.

Shen Jue had no idea what the people behind him were thinking, so he wandered into the depths of the alley. When he pushed open an iron door that creaked, the boy put his hand in his pocket. It was about to come out, the moment when the cold light hidden in the pocket was almost about to emerge——

The boy saw the darkness in the house.

A gleam of light sneaked in through the open door, illuminating the small room.

There are no killers he imagined in it, and there are no people who seem to be kind but are actually vicious.

Some were just two simple wooden chairs, and some moldy quilts spread on the floor. The quilts even had a few holes, and the cotton inside was a little bit out.

The space in the room is really small, the yellowed stove occupies most of the place, and there is an indescribable smell inside.

The boy frowned suddenly.

However, Shen Jue waved at him as if he had no sense of smell: "Come in quickly, no one will come here to investigate."

He blinked his eyes, and only then did he reveal the mischievousness and cunning that a six-year-old child should have: "They dare not set foot in this area."

The boy looked at the dirty environment inside with a sullen face, which was completely inconsistent with his identity, and finally set foot inside.

For him now, living is the only way out.

"Thank you." The boy pursed his lips and let go of the things in his pocket: "Why help me?"

Shen Jue sat down on the very old wooden chair, allowing it to make a sound that might collapse at any time: "Aren't you from the south? My elder brother said that we should help each other. "

The teenager looked at the small group of children, but couldn't understand the nouns in it: "Bunfan?"

"That's it." Shen Jue took out the biscuit from his pocket, shook it, and then quickly stuffed it back: "I still want to send it to them and share it with them, you stay here."

He snapped his fingers: "You can go out after counting three hundred and one hundred."

The boy was silent for a moment: "I won't leave."

Slo City itself is built like a maze, not to mention this famous "slum", there are as many illegal buildings as you want, and there are all kinds of messes everywhere. It's not those kids who specialize in stealing and robbing here. Only those who have lived for decades can know the way.

Shen Jue seemed not to have thought of this question, and opened his mouth to say "ah".

So the boy said lightly, "I'll go with you."

He wanted to see how these children who hadn't even grown their hair survived in the borderlands of the Taal planet.

The young man lowered his eyes, hiding the coldness that flashed in his eyes.

The report submitted by the city lord of Siluo City every year is very long, but it can be summed up in only eight words: Nothing happened, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

The lord of Siluo City said that everything in Siluo City is going well, just like the imperial capital Taal, there are no hungry people who cannot eat, and no poor people who are struggling to make ends meet.

The aristocrats and commoners get along happily.

Melt your head.

The boy scoffed coldly in his heart.

If it weren't for the accident in the palace, he had to run out. With this experience, he would really be bluffed by those beautiful documents.

However, Shen Jue didn't know who the boy was, nor did he know what was going on in his heart, he just had his own little girl.

Shen Jue hesitated and said: "No, no."

The young man frowned slightly, and heard Shen Jue say: "They, they hate the people who live in the south very much. They think you are nothing, what kind of dogs. Anyway, you can't go. If you go, they will beat you."

The boy looked at him expressionlessly: "You can't beat me."

He has received professional training, and even well-organized soldiers may not be able to knock him down, let alone a group of homeless "bones" who have no next meal?

"That won't work either!" Shen Jue seemed a little anxious, reaching out to grab his clothes: "I, I don't want you to hit them!"

Speaking of this, he seemed to have found some support in an instant, and became more confident: "I saved you, you should listen to me. My elder brother said that the grace of saving life can be promised."

juvenile:"……"

He stared at the child whose face was covered by a hat most of the time: "Children."

He called him: "How old is it?"

Shen Jue: "Six years old! Big brother said that I was a baby when he picked me up, so I should be six years old now!"

"Six-year-old brat." The young man scoffed, "I don't care about kids."

Shen Jue didn't understand what he was talking about, so he just stretched out his hand to stop him: "No, you can't go with me."

The boy frowned: "This is my personal freedom."

"Who?" Shen Jue couldn't understand again, he only knew that he didn't want those people to see the sapphire in front of him.

The sapphire should belong to him alone: ​​"Be obedient, I'll go back and get you something delicious."

The teenager didn't know how to reason with a six-year-old kid, and he didn't know how to tell him that it wasn't "bluffing" but stealing.

He felt that children like Shen Jue had lived by this since they were young, and some notions had already been deeply ingrained.

The teenager had a headache: "Okay, I won't go, I'll wait for you here. When you come back, tell me how you usually live."

Shen Jue suddenly showed a smile, and pushed down his hat even more.

He happily waved at the young man: "Then I'm leaving."

Shen Jue was very happy when he thought that Sapphire would be waiting for him to go back in his secret base, and even walked a little briskly.

However, when he returned to the dilapidated building, he saw more than a dozen soldiers with guns surrounded there.

Shen Jue paused, and quickly hid behind the building before the other party found him.

He was thin and short, and he easily concealed his figure.

Shen Jue adjusted his shortness of breath just now, calmed down a little bit, and calmly looked through the cover.

I saw that the companions who were still laughing with him not long ago were all pointed at by long guns, pushed and pushed into the car.

Shen Jue knew this car.

Back then, his elder brother was also taken away by such a car.

He didn't show up, he just stood quietly in the dark and waited until all those people had left before he entered the building.

Even so, every step Shen Jue took was cautious.

He knew that those people must have cleaned it up, and his partners must have been taken away without a trace, but he still wanted to come in.

Because those people looked down on their "stored grain", he wanted to take away the stored grain and use it to boil, avoiding the limelight and going out to make a living.

This is what his elder brother taught him.

There were not many people who had harvested today, and there were only a few steamed buns scattered on the ground, two bottles of water, and the bread that Shen Jue brought back.

Even so, Shen Jue was very satisfied.

He packed up his things and went directly to his secret base.

The sapphire was still there. He straightened his back and sat on the wooden chair, staring at one place quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shen Jue blinked his eyes hidden under the brim of his hat, thinking that the sapphire is really beautiful.

He had never seen such a good-looking person.

"...Why did you bring so many things back?" The young man frowned slightly: "Did you steal... to make a living?"

Shen Jue shook his head, stepped on the chair and put the things in his hands on the stove: "They were all taken away."

-"What?"

- "It's the group of people who are going to take you away, they took them away."

"Just like they took my elder brother away, I heard people say that those who are taken away will be thrown into a place called the army as coolies."

- "Isn't it good to be a coolie? At least you have something to eat."

- "Not good. Didn't the 'senior' tell you that it would be miserable if you were caught?"

- "How miserable is it?"

- "Well, I don't know, but the eldest brother said that it is a place where you can't get out once you go in."

- "A military camp is not a place where you can come and go at will."

-"hold head high?"

Shen Jue tilted his head slightly, obviously unable to understand the young man's words.

The boy didn't bother to explain, just asked: "Why do you always wear such a big hat, cold?"

Shen Jue: "It is indeed cold. But..."

He pursed his lips slightly, a little depressed: "I'm ugly and scare people. Everyone doesn't like me."

The boy just said: "I can understand."

His tone was flat: "I look fierce, and everyone doesn't like me."

"what?"

Shen Jue seemed to find it incredible: "You are not fierce at all."

He hooked the boy's clothes carefully: "I think you look good."

The little boy's voice is still a little milky, it's hard to tell whether it's a man or a woman, but it sounds good.

It is clean and clear.

Like raindrops that can wash away all filth, it falls on the boy's heart——

"I like you very much."
