Chapter 160 Remembrance Killing IV (1010)
That large group of low-rise buildings has another name, called slums.
When the old man came to his home in the slums, it was a deformed hut made of scattered wooden boards, not to mention the air leaks everywhere, and even the door panels that were closed were pitifully simple.
Instructing Ye Zi to carry Ye Rui back on the bed, the old man asked Ye Zi to get some water, and twisted a towel to cover Ye Rui's forehead.
From the eyes alone, I don't know how many degrees Ye Rui has burned, but her whole face is flushed, her breathing is also a little short, and when she touches it with her hand, she feels extremely hot.
Laozi frowned slightly, asked Ye Zi to take care of Ye Rui, then went outside and started to boil the medicine.
Thanks to his knowledge of medicine, because he is single, he always prepares medicinal materials at home when the cold winter comes. After all, if a person accidentally catches a cold, in this selfish slum, he can only die.
Ye Zi was lucky to meet the old man, and because he said that without hesitation, the old man brought him back, otherwise Ye Rui would have to wait to die if she developed a high fever in this environment.
Since then, there have been two more children in the slum.
Ye Zi didn't tell the old man that he had a home in that bustling city to the south, nor did he tell the old man that he escaped from the orphanage and killed someone there.
Afterwards, Ye Zi fulfilled his promise, took over the old man's sleigh, went out every day to find food with a weak body, scrambled around in the snow, took whatever seemed edible, and then dragged it back , Let the old man jump out of the edible things.
Ten days later, the old man carefully sealed the plank firmly, then locked it, and then took the dirty Ye Zi to a place.
Along the way, many people follow their hearts, all heading in the same direction.
Walking out of the complex, I came to a stinking open space, which turned out to be a garbage dump.
Many people came out of the slums one after another, scattered around the garbage dump, and everyone looked towards the south eagerly, where there was the outline of a bustling city.
"What are we doing here?" Ye Zi asked softly.
"Wait for garbage." The old man replied.
"What? Waiting for trash?" Ye Zi frowned.
"Once a month, the city dumps garbage here. If you're lucky, you can find food and useful things from the garbage dump." The old man also looked in the south direction and explained casually.
Ye Zi was dumbfounded in shock, this was the first time he knew the slums.
Not long after, many trucks carrying garbage came slowly from the road, one after another fell down, and after all the vehicles left, the people around rushed towards the pile of garbage with a bang.
The old man dragged the stunned-eyed Ye Zi into the garbage dump.
The old man picked up three woolen sweaters with little breakage, a pack of sausages that were two days out of date, a bite of bread wrapped in a wrapping bag, and a squashed cigarette. As for Ye Zi, he was empty-handed. .
Under the disdainful eyes of the old man, the two returned to the broken wooden house.
Seeing the two came back, Ye Rui showed a happy smile, then pulled her face again and said, "Brother, I'm hungry."
Ye Zi was taken aback for a moment, while the old man handed the sausage to Ye Rui and said, "Eat it."
"Thank you, grandpa." Ye Rui took the sausage, and a smile appeared on her pulled face.
When the old man heard the claim, he couldn't help but feel a warm glow in his eyes, and looked happily at Ye Rui who was eating the sausage bite by bite.
Ye Zi, who watched this scene, Ye Zi, who came back from the garbage dump empty-handed, suddenly had the urge to rush back to the garbage dump...
From then on, Ye Zi and Ye Rui started living in the slums.
Maybe the orphanage had concerns, so even if one person died, it didn't cause any news.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, five years have passed by.
The old man was getting older, his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he couldn't move for too long a day, so Ye Zi was the only one who looked for food and took care of the whole family's livelihood.
In the past five years, more and more garbage has been transported out of the city, from once a month to once every three days.
In the past, once a month always brought a good harvest to the people in the slums, but with the infinite increase of garbage, this has become a problem instead.
The garbage piled up more and more, and began to oppress the living environment of the slums. Therefore, the people in the slums began to resist. When a garbage truck came in, the people in the slums blocked them from entering. In the end, the driver who carried the garbage could only resent And back.
That night, a fire broke out without warning.
When the fire was discovered, it was too ferocious to be stopped by manpower. The entire night sky was illuminated by the fire. From a distance, the low buildings were submerged in the fire, like a fire dragon lying on the ground. .
The fire was caught off guard, and when he woke up, the surroundings of Ye Zi's house were already burning with raging flames.
The old man knew that he was inconvenient to move around, if Ye Zi were to take him with him, the three of them might be surrounded by fire and eventually die in the fire.
So when Ye Zi held Ye Rui with one hand and wanted to hold his hand with the other, he slapped him away with the other hand.
"Let's go."
In just two words, the attitude and tone are very firm.
Ye Zi said without hesitation, "Let's go together."
The old man gave him a disdainful look, and said, "You are not stupid, you know why I want to stay."
Ye Zi couldn't help being silent when he heard the words, and repeated: "Let's go together."
"Smelly brat, being alive is more important than anything else, do you want Xiaorui to suffer misfortune?" The old man sighed softly.
"Grandpa, if you don't leave, then I won't either!" Ye Rui seemed to see something, and looked at the old man anxiously with her small face.
"Haha." The old man smiled happily when he heard the words, and said seriously, "Don't say stupid things." Then, he looked at Ye Zi viciously, expressing his meaning clearly.
"Goodbye." Ye Zi knew that she couldn't drag on any longer, bit her lower lip, decisively pulled Ye Rui's arm, said a hasty farewell, and turned to leave without hesitation.
Seeing that the old man was going to stay in the house alone, Ye Rui started to struggle and shouted loudly: "How can you do this? Grandpa will be burned to death."
Ye Zi didn't say a word, Ye Rui dragged her out of the buildings surrounded by flames while resisting all the way.
That night, many people looked at the house engulfed in flames, knelt down speechless, some wept, and some cursed.
Ye Rui burst into tears, while Ye Zi just watched the fire quietly without saying a word.
This is a man-made arson that does not need to be studied.
He had seen this kind of cruelty when he was six years old.
So, that's what he's going through, the world...
All the pictures were suddenly distorted and sucked in by a black hole.
Under the dark underground, Madara standing beside the bed, on the face of Furui's calm face, there was a look of shock, but it was a rare loss of composure.
Bai Jue looked at Madara, surprised, but he didn't know what Madara saw.
"Ha, ha ha...!" A deep laugh suddenly sounded in this quiet underground.
"This is really... so wonderful that it makes me feel uneasy."
Madara looked at Ye Zi on the bed, with an inexplicable and strange light in his eyes.
Actually... there is another world?
