There are countless children like Hong in the entire downtown area. Just by looking at their faces, one can roughly guess that they were probably born in Tunnel No. 32.
There are a large amount of red ore distributed in that tunnel. These ores are considered to be one of the cheapest existences in the entire lower city. They are easy to mine and have few uses. The only function is that they can be eaten temporarily.
The so-called temporary consumption simply means that you will not die immediately after eating it. After all, things like ores cannot be digested in the stomach at all, and even the stomach will be strangled.
But the red ore will not, as soon as it touches the gastric juice, it will melt into pieces and accumulate in the stomach, giving people a feeling of fullness, and at the same time, it will be unable to digest and die after a long time.
If you eat red ore for a long time, even your offspring will turn red, just like red.
Hong took the ore with azure water light to the exchange point when he was exploring on the fourth floor, which shocked everyone. This kind of sapphire blue ore has disappeared on the fifth, sixth and seventh floors. A piece like this The energy of the ore can provide the energy of a car for a lifetime.
But Hong was investigated for this.
Instinct told her that she must not say it - it was the necklace that protected her, so she insisted that it was picked up by herself.
It's rare that these guys actually believed it, perhaps only on the surface.
"Fortunately, I'm smart." Hong returned to her tent with a week's worth of food, and said to Lin Jie, "Those guys are so greedy that they will definitely steal my necklace."
Lin Jie nodded earnestly, as if he didn't regard Hong as a child at all, he said: "Indeed, and there are regulations that prohibit the existence of private property in the lower city."
"Well, not bad, Xiao Lin remembers it very clearly, it deserves praise." Hong nodded, like a little adult.
Now she often imitates her grandmother's tone intentionally or unintentionally, treating Lin Jie like a child.
Lin Jie glanced at the food in her hand. The rare sapphire had only changed food for a week. It seemed that Hong was often cheated, but she still happily set up the pot.
"Woohoo! It smells so good!"
The fragrant and soft flour has formed a paste, and it has been burned black a lot. This is the most delicious and only food in the entire lower city.
"Here, this is yours." Hong filled the pot of mush into two bowls, "You use grandma's bowl."
Lin Jie took the broken bowl and stuffed it into his mouth. In addition to the burnt smell, there was also a strong musty smell, which was completely moldy food lost in the upper city.
With such eating conditions and living conditions, it is a miracle that people in the lower city can live past thirty.
Hong lowered his head and buried himself in eating bitterly, he couldn't bear to drool, like that kind of puppy who is greedy to the extreme.
Although Hong is fat, he is not the kind of person who eats a lot, but Lin Jie and Hong definitely don't have enough food for a week.
So the top priority is to continue to search for ore.
After three days of unremitting efforts, Hong finally found a piece of unowned ore, which is a mainstream precious ore, and one piece can be exchanged for a week's ration.
Mining ore is physically and mentally tortured. You have to sleep next to the ore at night, otherwise you will be picked up by others, and you must be careful not to be robbed of the ore by bullies.
"Those adults are bullying." Hong said to Lin Jie while digging carefully with a hammer.
Lin Jie sat beside him casually, looking at Hong.
Hong continued to chant: "That's why I don't want to be an adult, because grandma said that when I grow up, I will become bad... Hey, are you listening to me!"
"I'm listening." Lin Jie casually continued, and then Hong continued to reassure: "Grandma also said that people must have dreams. This is the biggest difference between humans and animals."
"By the way, do you have a dream?" Hong suddenly stopped what she was doing, her black and red pupils were full of expectation, reason and clarity, completely different from other animal pupils.
"Ang, yes?" Lin Jie thought about it.
"What is it?" Hong asked excitedly.
"Probably being the owner of a bookstore and living an ordinary life can bring some guidance to others' lives."
"The bookstore owner...what is it?" After hearing this dream, Hong fell into deep thought.
"You'll know when you go up there."
Lin Jie's ordinary words made Hong completely excited, "Right, right, you also think I will go up, right?"
Lin Jie nodded.
"By the way, tell me about the things above. That is the place where my ancestors lived and my hometown." Hong's brisk voice was full of expectation, like a long and distant singing voice, opening in this dull tunnel. A flower comes.
Lin Jie was slightly moved, took a deep breath, and began to seriously describe the so-called above things.
...
The shimmering ore was held by Hong in the palm of his hand. Although the fineness was not very good, it barely met the fineness regulations.
Hong weakly wiped the dust off her face. She was a naturally fat person, but now even her clothes have shrunk a lot, her round face has shrunk a lot, and her eyes have grown a lot.
I haven't eaten for about a week. Anyway, Hong can't remember the time, and he can't remember the time in the whole downtown area.
"This stone can be exchanged for three days' rations again." Hong held the stone and placed it parallel to her eyes. The color of the ore was printed on the fundus of her eyes, which looked very beautiful.
Lin Jie glanced at the stone in Red's hand, and then glanced at the sneaky managers next to him. These guys were similar to Hong and the others, they were all from the polluted lower city, and they had never been to the upper city in their life.
But now he is the minion of Shangcheng District. He pretends to be a tiger and acts like a dog every day, and is called a manager.
Because of the guarding of these people, Lin Jie had a bad feeling. They probably didn't believe Hong's saying that he picked up the sapphire at all, and they had been staring at Hong, waiting for her to go further below to take risks, and then put her alive from the first stage. Tell them how to get back from the fourth floor.
Lin Jie frowned and looked at those people. They seemed to be very disappointed to see that Hong insisted on digging for ore even though he was about to starve to death.
"Let's change the food quickly." Hong said weakly, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, this time I'm here to cook, I can cook the meals in the upper area." Lin Jie suddenly said "with great mercy".
After all, after getting along for more than a month, this guy has always been like a shopkeeper, he is a young master at all.
"Great!" Hong swelled up like a balloon in an instant, and said excitedly: "Great, half of the dream is about to come true."
Hong happily ran to the food exchange office.
Lin Jie followed behind her, and finally looked back at the managers who had been following Hong.
After they said a few words in disappointment, they finally ended their monitoring of Hong.
Lin Jie used mind rewriting to rewrite his image in the minds of others into a burly and majestic twenty-year-old male. If he is still strong and healthy at this age, he will be at the top of the entire food chain in the entire downtown area.
Because of Lin Jie's heavy image, Rang Hong was not cheated, and successfully got a week's ration.
"I got a week's ration for one stone. They only gave me that sapphire for a week last time. How bad they are!" He walked forward blushingly, pouted his cheeks angrily, and his whole head was like a hairy man. Little red pufferfish.
Lin Jie followed her with his hands in his hands, without any words of comfort. His words were now extremely rare, and he only spoke out when he was discussing his dreams with Hong.
As soon as I walked to the No. 32 tunnel, I saw that the entrance of the tent where I lived day and night was full of people.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
