I know the taste of the sea

The boy was stunned for a moment.

He stared blankly at the little kid in front of him whose height didn't even reach his waist, his heart seemed to have turned into an ancient clock, and was kicked hard by the kid, making a buzzing sound.

A feeling that he had never experienced climbed up, eroded his whole body, and settled in his bone marrow, as if it could never be removed.

The young man moved his lips, and his originally indifferent attitude softened little by little. It was probably too shocking. He didn't know what to say for a moment, he only knew that he had to respond.

He couldn't make the kid in front of him hate him too: "I..."

The young man answered in a daze and at a loss: "This is the first time someone said that he likes me..."

"Really!"

However, Shen Jue didn't show any distress and pity, but was very happy. A child's mind is always very simple: "Then I'm the first person to like you! That's great!"

No one likes such a beautiful sapphire!

Shen Jue felt incredible, but he was indescribably happy.

Because this means that the pair of sapphires can belong to him temporarily.

After all, he is the first person to like.

He happily jumped off the wooden chair and turned around the room a few times: "What's your name? I must know the name of the person I like, right?"

The boy didn't plan to spend too long with Shen Jue, but the water in Siluo City was deeper than he imagined, and he really needed Shen Jue to lead the way, plus...

The boy thought, this is the first time someone has told him that he likes it.

"...Lu Shi." The young man said casually, "My name is Lu Shi, Lu from the land, so I pick it up."

But Shen Jue blinked his eyes, pulled his hat and said in a low voice: "I can't read..."

The boy was silent for a moment, then sighed: "I can teach you later."

He paused: "Tell me about your daily life first."

In fact, there is nothing to say.

Shen Jue felt that the life of "poor worms" like them was boring.

Not only do you have to avoid the nobles who will arrest them and take them to the barracks to squeeze them and raise them for "fun", but you must also avoid those hooligans who are psychologically distorted and perverted, and specifically catch them beating, scolding and insulting them, and you have to solve your own food and clothing problems by yourself.

Shen Jue: "...Actually, it's okay to eat a lot of food. Occasionally, some old grandma will bring us food that is about to expire at home. The main reason is to hide from those who catch you, and the 'Boss Boss'."

Lu Shi frowned slightly: "Boss Boss?"

"He is the owner of this land," Shen Jue said, "I heard that behind him are those nobles. He always likes to drink, and when we met him on the road, he would beat us if he was in a bad mood."

He pursed his lips and said, "Last time he beat Hua Hua to death."

Lu Shi frowned: "Nobody cares? It's illegal to kill people."

He thought that a child like Shen Jue might not be able to understand, but he didn't think that Shen Jue was very puzzled: "The law? What is breaking the law?"

- "It's the law."

-"what is that?"

- "... is bound by people, you can't kill people, you can't intentionally hurt people, you can't abandon children, you can't..."

Lu Shi paused for a moment, but didn't say anything about the subsequent robbery.

Because the children in front of him were doing these things, wrongly, but for survival.

Lu Shi's heart was slightly shifted, and he thought he couldn't be blamed for it.

It was the first time for Shen Jue to hear people say this, and he couldn't help being a little surprised: "How is this possible?"

He smiled: "But it would be nice if the future world was like this."

Lu Shi's heart sank immediately.

The chaos in Silo City was worse than he had imagined.

This was originally a law that was implemented very early, as early as Talos I...

Lu Shi didn't say anything more, but just secretly wrote down the matter.Seeing that Shen Jue took out the biscuit that had been frozen to the point of freezing, he tore half of it vigorously and gave it to him: "Here. Are you hungry too?"

Lu Shi glanced at the thing in his hand, did not refuse, but frowned unavoidably when he bit it down.

He looked at Shen Jue, Shen Jue didn't take off his hat, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could see that he was having a good time eating.

It seems that to him, the cold and hard stone-like biscuits in his hand are peerless delicacy, every bite is worth savoring carefully.

Lu Shi is not a squeamish person. He can swallow a little bit of someone who is with him and who says he likes him.

Half a sesame seed cake is actually not enough to satisfy one's hunger, but Shen Jue never said that he would continue to eat, and Lu Shi didn't mention it either.

In the past few days when he escaped from Tal, he also endured a lot of hunger and cold.

Although he brought money, but because of the characteristics of sapphire eyes, he dared not go in and out of crowded places.

Lu Shi didn't know who was his enemy and who was his friend.

In fact, for him, his current situation is no different from the "bad boy" kid in front of him.

but--

Lu Shi looked at the child's tattered clothes and red and swollen hands that had already been frozen: "I have money."

"You can buy a warm suit with it," he said.

Shen Jue was startled for a moment, and then he couldn't believe it: "Are you rich?!"

"...I'm not a fool." Lu Shi still didn't put on a layer of skin: "I'm just... my parents passed away, and many people coveted my family's property. their stuff."

Six-year-old Shen Jue couldn't understand such complicated words, he just stared blankly for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion: "Actually, you are just like me now, without parents, so you can only 'lack a living'?"

Lu Shi wanted to say that he didn't need to "make a living", but it was too difficult to explain this to a six-year-old child, so he could only nod: "Yes, but I have money, you can use it to buy something."

"no!"

Obviously it is something that can improve life, but Shen Jue is very excited: "Don't tell others that you are rich! Last time Grandpa with a white beard looked at us pitifully, so he asked us to help him weed the garden, and said to each of us 20 Yuan money a day."

He sniffed: "We have been saving for half a year. We originally wanted to save the money and buy a very small house for everyone to live together, but it was because we were accidentally heard by the Boss. The money was stolen, and the white-bearded grandpa, the white-bearded grandpa..."

Shen Jue choked up, and tears rolled down his face: "Grandpa White Beard was beaten to death by them..."

Even in the man-eating palace, Lu Shi had never heard of such a thing.

Those people can only play tricks, and this is the first time Lu Shi has seen such a clear method.

So he couldn't help but tighten his brows: "No one cares about this?"

"...Why is someone caring?" Shen Jue wiped away his tears, and said in a blank voice, "It's just like this."

Lu Shi clenched his fist tightly.

What a city lord of Siluo City!

What a "Boss Boss"!

I'm afraid these people have already mastered the tricks!

Waiting for him to return to the palace, waiting for him to inherit the throne...

Lu Shi gritted his teeth, but had to let go of his fist.

He doesn't even know if he can live now, so how can he talk about the future?

Lu Shi sat on the chair and didn't speak. After crying for a while, Shen Jue wiped away his tears, took a sniff to calm down his emotions, and asked Lu Shi: "You are unhappy, why?"

Lu Shi didn't answer this question, but asked him: "What's your name? Do you have a name?"

Shen Jue nodded: "I have some, my name is Shen Jue."

- "Which jue?"

- "Brother said it was a decision."

- "...Your eldest brother, is your real brother?"

- "No, my brother was the one who picked me up. He treated me very well. But he was taken away."

- "Do you know your elder brother's name?"

Shen Jue tried hard to think for a while: "It seems, it seems to be called Wang. The eldest brother said that he was looking for his mother. His mother and him got lost. They were not from the planet Taal. It was the elder brother who taught me to be a 'bad boy'. "

No matter how much a child suffers, when facing a good-tempered and beautiful person, he will always talk a little more, and his vigilance will be completely gone: "Brother is the first person who treats me so well, he Said I was like his brother."

Shen Jue: "His younger brother died because of the famine...he thought I was his younger brother's reincarnation."

"I don't know what reincarnation means, but he treated me very well, so he is my big brother."

Lu Shi was a little surprised: "Your partners treat you badly?"

"...They treat me well because I'm a good cook." Shen Jue lowered his head and pursed his lips: "They actually don't like me, they are very afraid of me."

-"Why?"

- "Because... because I'm a monster."

Lu Shi was taken aback.

Some wound hidden deep in his memory began to ache again.

He tried his best to ignore that feeling: "Why do you call yourself a monster?"

Shen Jue didn't speak.

Lu Shi then said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, in fact, so do I."

The boy's expression was cold, without any displeasure or sadness: "My parents also said I was a monster."

Shen Jue: "!"

He raised his eyes and wanted to see the boy, but he was afraid that his face would be seen by the boy, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed his wide hat and said in disbelief, "How is it possible? You are so beautiful, how can you be a monster!"

- "They say I killed my brother."

- "Then did you kill yourself?"

Lu Shi didn't say no aloud as in the script, and argued for himself, he just said indifferently: "Maybe."

However, Shen Jue did not show the slightest fear and hesitation like in the script, he just grabbed the young man's hand and said seriously: "Impossible!"

He said, "You absolutely can't kill your brother!"

Lu Shi laughed: "Why?"

Shen Jue paused and said: "Because I can see that you are beautiful."

- "Little kid."

"You can't judge a person by appearance, it will kill you."

- "No! It's different!"

"They say Boss Bolai is handsome. He is indeed handsome, but he is not beautiful at all!"

The child insisted: "You are beautiful, I can see it! You are beautiful here!"

He pointed to his heart and repeated over and over again: "It's really, really beautiful! It's like a sky without white, blue and beautiful!"

Lu Shi was startled.

He didn't expect that a child who didn't even know a word would give him a second shock in a short period of time.

Like the cleanest and clearest water, it washed away all his confusion and negative emotions.

Lu Shi felt that he was covered by these cold, red and swollen hands. He was obviously iced, but he got endless warmth.

It was an unquenchable flame, and at this moment, it kept the fire in his heart.

Regardless of the future, regardless of the future, no matter how terrible the downpour is, it cannot be extinguished.

Lu Shi slowly held Shen Jue's hand. For the first time, the 14-year-old prince wanted to keep this dirty little tramp by his side forever and keep it in his heart.

He asked him: "Can I see it? What you look like."
