Imagine the world

Lao Lei has a son in his early thirties who works in Pingjing, the capital of the Eastern Kingdom.Pingjing is very big, and it has been expanded around the ancient imperial city. The second ring, the third ring... Now it has been repaired to the sixth ring.Talents and capital from all over the East are gathered there, and the housing prices are very high. Xiaolei's work unit is outside the West Second Ring Road, and the house he buys will be in the South Sixth Ring Road.

The traffic in Pingjing City is very congested during rush hours. Xiaolei takes at least an hour and a half to go to work every day to get to the work unit. This is still very early to go out and plan the optimal route. It is almost the same after get off work, and it is very late to get home.After giving birth to the child, his wife quit her job to take care of the child at home, but she continued to go to work after a while.

Although Xiaolei's income is acceptable, at least above the average level, he is obviously stretched out of his salary to pay the mortgage, raise children, and support a family of three.So Lao Lei's wife went to his son's house to take his grandson, while Lao Lei went to Fesuo port to continue working and earning money. Anyway, it's not interesting to stay alone. If you earn more money, you can subsidize your children and grandchildren.

Lao Lei does not criticize today, because today's Dongguo has indeed developed greatly compared with a few decades ago, but this does not prevent him from recalling the past.According to Lao Lei, when he was a child, his parents were dual-earners. They worked in the same unit and lived in the courtyard of the unit's living area. The house was also divided by the public.

The unit has a nursery, and the kindergarten is not far from the house. Although the conditions cannot be compared with the present, it is much more convenient. The time to pick up and drop off the children every day is after get off work and before work.When Lao Lei was a child, he had no grandfather, grandma or grandma to take care of him, because his parents had many brothers and sisters, and he couldn't bring the children to him if he wanted to rely on the elderly. That's how he grew up.

Lao Lei often sighs that although the current society is developed, it may not necessarily be advanced in all aspects, at least it is not so friendly to ordinary people and ordinary families.For example, he talked about the problem of traffic congestion. Of course, there are factors such as urban expansion, vehicle growth, and flow of people, but there are urban planning reasons that have existed since the beginning.

For some reason, the regional functions of many modern cities have been cut off.When he was a child, Lao Lei's parents could go to work on foot. The family compound and the work place of the unit were very close, so they only rode a bicycle when they went out.

However, the current urban development roadmap artificially separates the work area, business area, leisure area, and daily living area farther and farther, so that many people have to complete a migration-style back and forth every day, which is a great impact on various resources. consumption...

Lao Lei's point of view may not be completely correct. In addition to the reasons for urban planning, these situations are also the result of capital promotion and class differentiation, but Huazhenxing found it very interesting.There aren't many such problems in Fesso today, but what about in the future?If the Fesso port becomes as advanced and developed as the Dongguo city, can we try to avoid similar problems as much as possible?

Lao Lei really discussed this with Xiao Hua, so in Xiao Hua's dream, the "future" Fesuo Port was such a scene. After hearing old man Yang's reminder, Hua Zhenxing also realized that there might be this reason.

And the old man Yang waved his hand again and said: "Don't talk about whether you are advanced in your dream, what did you do before you dream? The college alumnus in your dream is very interesting, and you also talked about the principle of repaying kindness, I told you Bar?"

Hua Zhenxing nodded and said, "Yes, you always told me, I didn't remember it in my dream, but I remember it now."

Old man Yang frowned and said, "This is a bit strange. How could you dream of such a thing? What did that silly boy from Xia Er do to you last night? It's probably a shameful act, right?" Seeing Hua Zhenxing hesitated, he He emphasized his tone again, "Some children think that they have grown up, and they want to make up their own minds and not tell adults about everything, but they often don't know how serious the consequences are!"

Hua Zhenxing finally said, "I wanted to tell you. Jin Datou asked Xia Er to kill someone. Xia Er was a little confused. He didn't want to do it, but he didn't dare to ignore Da Jintou's words."

Old man Yang asked in a deep voice, "Who is Jin Datou going to kill?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I asked all night and didn't come out. He said that unless I promised to help, I couldn't tell. Then he drank too much, and I came back."

Old man Yang stood up and said sternly, "I still want your help? Go out and fool around when you have nothing to do. Why don't you tell me about such a big thing?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Didn't I say it as soon as I got back?"

Old man Yang: "Then why didn't you say it just now?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I was talking about that dream just now."

Old man Yang: "Don't talk about dreaming, tell me why he asked you for help?"

Hua Zhenxing: "It should be because I have good skills and accurate marksmanship."

Old man Yang: "Fuck! My old man has drunk and called himself a peerless master, and I have never seen anyone do bad things to me? Just your two brushes, I feel like you can hit ten with one? You usually come into contact with either beasts or beasts. Waste, if you encounter a real professional soldier or professional bodyguard, it is also very dangerous!"

Hua Zhenxing: "I didn't agree either."

Old man Yang: "If someone asks you to do this kind of thing, it means that you have a problem. What is the happy bar, you two are drinking around the footbath, can't others hear what you say? So many people see him coming. You, you have already touched the bag! Tell me what's going on carefully."

Chapter 007 Straw Uppers

The big Black Shire was also an orphan left by the war 15 years ago. Both his parents died in the turmoil.There are no less than 10 such orphans in Port Fiso and its surrounding areas.But in the eyes of the locals, Charles is not completely an orphan, because he was raised by two aunts.

There is an old saying in Dongyu: "A child without a father is an orphan". When a child is young without a father, even if the mother is still alive, he is an orphan. Therefore, there is an idiom of "orphan and widow mother".But in the Black Desolate Continent, if this standard is used, there are probably orphans everywhere, and it is hard to say whether the fathers of many children are still alive, because they do not know who their fathers are.

Many local men can't control their belts at all, and so do many women. They get on easily, and often have children.If you want to accuse those men of putting up their pants and not admitting the account, many people may not understand it, because they don't have the concept of "account" at all, so it doesn't matter whether they admit it or not.

Of course there are families, but relatively stable families have become a minority phenomenon. Many men who used to live a family life ran away when they said they ran away, and said that they were gone, and many women did the same.

The more turbulent the environment, the more chaotic social relations appear, especially in cities that have been turbulent and impacted by foreign industrial civilization, the previously stable tribal structure has been broken, forming a unique phenomenon.

Yang Tehong has an old friend named Mo Shangtong, who often comes to drink with old man Yang and talk about the past and present.Once it was mentioned that many people in academia were still questioning whether the matriarchal society really existed, Mo Shangtong said drunkenly: "Why don't you come to Fesuo Port to take a look and analyze what kind of social form the neighborhoods here belong to?"

Charles's grandmother had four children, one boy and three girls.Shire's parents died in the war, and he also has an uncle and two aunts. In the neighborhood tradition here, the children of the sisters are raised together.The three sisters have a total of eleven children, probably from six fathers, and five children are still alive today. Charles is the eldest, 20 years old this year.

From the first three sisters to the later two sisters, raising [-] children is certainly not easy, just look at the mortality rate.Shire also had an uncle who belonged to a gang. He died in a gun battle eight years ago. The boss of that gang was Jin Datou, so the locals called him Datou Gang.Ciel's uncle is said to be Jin Datou's brother, and he also brought Ciel to join the gang since he was a child.

Xu is because of his uncle's relationship, Jin Datou takes care of Xia Er, at least he has been working hard for him, not only to have enough food to eat, but also to make money from time to time, so that he can live healthy and healthy until now.Ciel is tall, dark and sturdy, with a very good physique. He feels like a weed in the desert, and it can grow vigorously with a little water.

Ciel is also one of Huazhenxing's few playmates in the local area, and they have known each other since childhood.Xia Er often came to the grocery store to buy things, sometimes on behalf of the gang, and the two local dialects of the Huazhen Guild were mainly learned from Xia Er.

Compared with the construction aid workers sent by Dongguo, Xia Er was considered lazy and stupid, but compared with his local peers, he was also considered smart and capable, so Hua Zhenxing was able to talk to him.

The black lamp hanging in Hua Zhenxing's bedroom was sold by Heishear in the grocery store.There were two of them at the time, and they were very dilapidated and seemed to be broken, but Hua Zhenxing inspected them and charged 20 yuan each, and then disassembled, repaired and refitted them, and it became the one hanging in his bedroom.

Last night, Ciel invited Hua Zhenxing to the Happy Bar for a drink, and begged him to go there, saying that he had something to discuss.When he was almost drinking, Ciel told him that it was Datou Jin who asked Ciel to kill someone.Xia Er was very tangled. He didn't want to kill this person, but Jin Datou's orders had to be obeyed.

It can be seen that Ciel is a little scared, and he wants to ask Huazhenxing for help.Of course Hua Zhenxing would not help him to do such a thing, so he asked Jin Datou who exactly did he want to kill?Xia Er said that unless Hua Zhenxing promised to help, he could not say it, because Datou Jin repeatedly ordered to keep it secret.

So Hua Zhenxing changed his question: "Why don't you want to kill this person, do you want to or dare not?"

Ciel rubbed his forehead and said, "I neither want nor dare, he should not be a bad person, and he has helped me. Moreover, his identity is more sensitive, and everyone is reluctant to move, otherwise it will cause trouble. I asked Can the boss not go, but the boss pointed a gun at me and yelled.

This is the mission of the gang, and it must be done. He has told me about such an important and confidential matter, so I have to do it.The boss also said that I was trained by him since I was a child, and now is the time to work for him. If I dare not do it or dare to inform, my whole family will be in danger. "

What family does an orphan have?But Ciel's concept is different. The whole family should be referring to his two aunts and four other siblings.Hua Zhenxing asked again, "What else did Jin Datou say, why did you think of looking for me?"

Ciel: "We are brothers, and your kung fu is good and your marksmanship is good! Boss Jin also said, I have a good relationship with you, and I can ask you for help. You can ask that person out, as long as no one passes by. The place, I hid by the side and solved it with a shot..."

These remarks revealed a lot of important information, but Ciel didn't say who that person was after all.If there were only the two of them talking alone on another occasion, Huazhenxing might still have a way to figure out the answer slowly, but there were many people in the bar at that time, so Huazhenxing had to be cautious.

Later, Ciel obviously drank too much, and Hua Zhenxing came back by himself... This is what happened.

Hua Zhenxing finished.Looking at the old man Yang's face as black as the bottom of the pot, he narrowed his eyes and said: "He knows the person Xia Er wants to kill, and you know him, and that person obviously trusts you more. In the eyes of Datou Jin, you can Deceive him out of nowhere! Be sure to find out who this person is, Xiaohua, have you ever thought about what if that person is me?"

Hua Zhenxing: "No way, it can't be you, you've been thinking too much."

Old man Yang: "It's already certain that it's someone you know well. As long as you haven't confirmed your identity, you can't rule out any possibility. Even if it's not me, what if it's Engineer Lei? Have you ruled out all these possibilities?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I really can't, I have to find a way..."

The old man Yang interrupted him: "I now know why you dream of such a thing. You don't need to think about the way. Now make a late-night snack for my old man, and go to bed after eating. I will ask you, Uncle Mo, to find out. You cook some good dishes at noon, and I'll ask Lao Mo to come over for dinner."

At noon the next day, Operation Huazhen used four of the nine elixir stoves, quickly prepared a table of dishes, and sat down to eat with Old Man Yang and Uncle Mo.

Mo Shangtong is old man Yang's friend, but their temperament is very different.The old man Yang had a ruddy complexion, his gray hair was very thick, and the ends were slightly curled. He looked very stylish. Although his clothes were not luxurious, they were definitely decent and comfortable.On the other hand, Uncle Mo's face was dark, and at first glance, he was almost the same as the local aborigines, and his face was wrinkled like a knife.

But if you look closely at Mo Shangtong, you can see that he is not tall but straight, his facial features are well-defined, and his eyes are very clear and powerful.It is not clear how old Uncle Mo is. He came to Feisuo Port 15 years ago, the year that old man Yang picked up Huazhenhang, and now he is the leader of the local "straw sandal gang".

The so-called "Straw Shoes Gang" was originally just a joke by old man Yang, but it became a common name recognized by the locals after it was spread.In fact, Mo Shangtong is a craftsman, this old man seems to know everything.Uncle Mo taught Huazhenhang to disassemble and assemble the black barren light and understand the function of each component.

At the beginning, Mr. Mo was doing repairs, ranging from all kinds of household appliances to automobiles and cannons. The repair scope also includes mobile phones, computers, satellite phones and other electronic products. He also repairs houses, farm implements, and various engineering equipment. , and even in the far-flung East folks, such as pot-making, bowl-baking, and hoop-hooping cities, which have almost disappeared, straddled tradition and modernity.

Such a person can live comfortably wherever he is, and Hua Zhenxing can't figure out why his old man came to Fesuo port after the war.At first, Mo Shangtong opened a repair shop, helped many people, taught many people various crafts, and then formed a mutual-aid civil society.

Mo Shangtong is very special here, because the locals can hardly repair anything. If something is broken, they will replace it with a new one, and the houses and other facilities are rarely renovated and maintained.Almost all the craftsmen gathered around Mo Shangtong, such as winemakers, bakers, car repairers, and processing various farm implements and daily necessities.

If they can cultivate, they will build. The things these people produce may not be very advanced, but they are the most practical in the local area.The straw sandals are not loose, and the internal organization is very strict. If you join them, you must not fight infighting. You must also watch and help each other. In the chaotic Fesso port, a middle- and bottom-level force that cannot be ignored has been formed. There are tens of thousands of members.

No one can tell how many gangs there are in Fesuogang, but the straw sandal gang is probably the largest among them, and the strange thing is that no gang seems to really realize this, or even regard the straw sandal gang as an opponent. At best, consider it trouble.

Because the straw shoe gang is not a gang, at least not the kind of gang that occupies land, collects protection fees, and monopolizes illegal business. It seems to be just a guild of law-abiding craftsmen.The straw sandals do not have the concept of grabbing territory with anyone, but only promotes internal friendship, equality, mutual assistance and mutual benefit.But no one in the local gangs would easily provoke them. To provoke one of them was to provoke the entire straw shoe gang group.

There are many people who want to join the Straw Shoes Club, but it is not easy to become a member. First of all, they have to give up all illegal profit-making activities and strictly abide by its rules.In the straw sandal gang, we can't just seek self-interest and not help others. If anyone does not participate in the action as required when other members need help, they will be fired.

The straw shoe upper gets its name because Mo Shangtong sometimes wears straw sandals.Before Mo Shangtong came to Fesuo Port, the locals had never seen such things as straw sandals.Mo Shangtong found a suitable type of straw sandals, which made everyone stunned for a while.

Most of the indigenous tribesmen in the field do not wear shoes and have thick calluses on their feet, but they are easily injured.In cities like Fesuo Port, the hot concrete or asphalt roads in the summer and various foreign objects that may poke the feet, it is even more necessary to wear shoes to protect the feet.

There are three most common types of shoes in the local area, flip-flops, sneakers and large-toe shoes, but many people are still used to bare feet.Mo Shangtong often wore straw sandals and taught others how to play them. When his group became a climate, the straw sandals also became a unique symbol, although the straw shoe club did not stipulate what shoes its members had to wear.

In fact, Mo Shangtong first named the group he established "Great Lovers", which roughly means this in the local dialect. .The locals call them straw sandals, and in the end, even Mo Shangtong called them that, so he had to follow the custom.

In a sense, Fesuogang's straw shoes are like a primitive religious order, and Mo Shangtong is its leader.In life, this sect leader is like a minimalist pragmatist, dressed very simply, sitting at the table like an old country farmer in the East.

After Hua Zhenxing sat down, he poured a glass of wine for the two old men, and then asked, "Mr. Mo, have you heard about the situation? Who is Jin Datou going to kill?"

Mo Shangtong's wrinkled face showed no expression, and he replied in a deep voice, "The person you know, Dr. Luo."

Chapter 008 This is a test

Hua Zhenxing was taken aback: "Dr. Rochard, why is he? He and Jin Datou can't even fight, and he has not offended anyone!"

Mo Shangtong said lightly: "Nothing is impossible, many things are not as simple as you see."

Hua Zhenxing: "This place in Fesuogang is already very messy. It's not simple at all. People die almost every day. I've been used to seeing it since I was a child."

Yang Tehong: "What you've seen are all simple and rude, right and wrong. How many cases have the police here solved?"

Mo Shangtong added: "Someone asked Jin Datou to kill Dr. Luo, and promised to give him [-] meters of gold after the completion of the matter. This is what I inquired about. As for the specific inside story, you can ask Dr. Luo yourself."

Hua Zhenxing was slightly startled: "Should I ask Dr. Luo myself?"

Mo Shangtong asked back, "Isn't it supposed to? Dr. Luo has helped many people here, and he has been very kind to you. He always wants to help you. Now that you know that Datou Jin wants to kill him, you must at least remind him first. He should also find a way to help him out of danger.”

Old man Yang coughed and said, "Xiaohua is still a child."

Uncle Mo glanced at him and said, "At this age, he can't be considered a child for a long time."

Old man Yang: "It may be very dangerous."

Mo Shangtong: "There will be danger at any time in this kind of place, why don't you do anything? Tell me, should Xiaohua go to help Dr. Luo?"

Old man Yang: "I remember that Dr. Luo has also treated many people from the Straw Sandals. What about your Straws?"

Mo Shangtong: "I'm already sitting here, what am I doing here? I also remember you said many years ago, don't ask others why you do or don't do it when you are in trouble, just ask yourself how to do it, don't you teach me this way? Have you been to Xiaohua?"

Old man Yang: "I was surrounded by you."

Mo Shangtong: "You were surrounded by yourself!"

Old man Yang: "Xiaohua's abilities are limited..."

Mo Shangtong interrupted him and said, "It's just a big head gang. If this can't be done, then you and I have taught Xiaohua for so many years. He can't be a child forever. Since he met today, it's a test."

Old man Yang waved his hand and said, "Let's stop fighting, Xiaohua is neither you nor me, ask him himself... Xiaohua, what do you think?"

Dr. Luo's surname is not Luo, his surname is Rochaide. It's just Mo Shangtong's habit to call him that. It's a surname, but the locals don't know what his name is.Rochard came to Port Fesos a year and a half ago. His identity is MSF and he is from Mijian.

The infrastructure in Fesso port is poor, but there is a super-large general hospital with nearly [-] beds that can treat patients in various departments.The hospital has very simple general wards and observation halls, as well as the most modern operating rooms, laboratories and intensive care units, and has advanced medical equipment from all over the world.

It was originally a tent hospital established by the United Nations Refugee Agency 15 years ago. It has not been withdrawn after the war, and has received donations from all over the world. It has gradually developed into its current scale, and the locals call it an international hospital.Rothschild is a volunteer of Doctors Without Borders and came here to work voluntarily.

Old man Yang’s grocery store has the most complicated local purchase channels, and he can buy a lot of very practical and distinctive things, which are not available in the supermarkets in the city center, and Rochard also frequents them.He speaks several languages, but neither local nor Dongguo.The language he knows happens to be Huazhenxing, and the Huazhenxing that he doesn't know can also.

Rochard was surprised that there was such a guy in the grocery store. He was very concerned about Huazhenxing and had learned the local dialect with Huazhenxing.He even thought that Huazhenhang should not continue to stay in this place. He had specially found old man Yang to contact Mi Jianguo's adoptive family for Huazhenhang, and wanted to send Huazhenhang to Mi Jianguo to study and live.

Of course, Old Man Yang refused. He had rejected similar proposals in his early years, but he could also see that Rochard was well-intentioned.Although Rochard is not a member of the Straw Sandals, he has also helped many local people.

Last year, Xia Er's aunt and sister fell ill and continued to suffer from pain and fever. Xia Er asked Hua Zhenxing for help to ask Dr. Luo.Hua Zhenxing didn't ask them why they didn't go directly to the hospital, and hurriedly invited Dr. Luo to go there.The result was very uncertain. They had dengue fever. Dr. Luo urgently contacted the ward and sent them to hospital, and then checked other people who had contact with them.

At that time, there was an outbreak of dengue fever in the area of ​​Fesuo Port, and many people died.Dr. Luo was considered to have rescued the Ciel family. Ciel was not familiar with him. He was invited by Huazhenxing to help him.

Now that Datou Jin wants to kill Dr. Luo, how can Hua Zhenxing ignore it.Hearing Old Man Yang asking him, Hua Zhenxing quickly nodded and said, "I must help Dr. Luo out of danger!" He sighed again, "No wonder Shire doesn't want to do anything, why did Jin Datou kill Dr. Luo?"

Gang fights in Fesuogang are very common, and people die almost every day, but there are still rules.A doctor from an international rescue organization like Rochard cannot move casually. If he has any accident, the police will definitely investigate it. This kind of thing is equivalent to a major case in the local area.

Old man Yang: "[-] meters of gold, enough to drive a lot of people crazy here! Xiaohua, you have to be careful about this. If you have to do it, you must be decisive."

Mo Shangtong said coldly: "That friend of yours, the big Heishier, may not tell you the truth. It's not that Datou Jin asked him to come to you, but he wanted to find you himself, and he didn't want to kill Dr. Luo. I don't dare to disobey Jin Datou's orders, but I hope you can remind Dr. Luo. This man is not as honest as he looks."

Hua Zhenxing: "He should have said Dr. Luo's name." His tone was full of disappointment.

Yang Tehong said unhurriedly: "It may be that he hesitated again and again, but in the end he didn't dare to say it. There is another possibility, he didn't want to implicate you, and decided to help Dr. Luo himself, if this is not the case. , I don't care about this friend, I don't care about this person... So many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface, you need to figure out."

Hua Zhenxing couldn't help but think of the alumni and colleague Zhu Meng in his dreams, and his mood became very bad for a while.Just at this moment, the phone rang, and I took it out and found that the call was from an unfamiliar landline number, and then my eyes lit up as if I had guessed something, and after I connected, I heard Ciel's voice saying: "Hua, listen, don't say anything, Jin. The person who is going to kill the big head is Dr. Luo!

I wanted to tell you last night, but never dared to.You have to find a way to remind Dr. Luo, I know you must have a way!Don't tell anyone it was me who leaked the secret, remember, I never made the call at all..."

Hua Zhenxing smiled, and his mood instantly became a lot easier. He asked before the other party hung up: "What would you do if you met Dr. Luo, or met me and Dr. Luo?"

Charles: "I, I, I'm bad at marksmanship! Stop asking."

After hanging up the phone, Huazhenhang was still smiling.Old man Yang snorted coldly and said, "What are you so happy about, Doctor Luo saved the Ciel family, and Xia Er should help Doctor Luo himself, but he didn't dare, he just told you secretly. I don't like this kind of person, In order to shirk your responsibility, drag an innocent friend into the water, and let you take risks."

Hua Zhenxing put away his smile and said, "But he said Dr. Luo's name after all."

Old man Yang: "You are really easy to satisfy, and the requirements for people are too low! If he just made a phone call to remind him, wouldn't he call Dr. Luo directly? If I don't know the number, I can ask you. What you think is too simple. Now, if Datou Jin knew that you intervened to save Dr. Luo, how could he let you go? And Datou Jin knew about your relationship with him, so how could he let him go?"

Mo Shangtong interjected: "This person is not too bad, so don't ask too much in this place."

Old man Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid he's not as stupid as he looks, and he has another purpose."

Hua Zhenxing grabbed his phone and stood up and said, "I must help Dr. Luo. He still doesn't know that Jin Datou is going to kill him. What should I do?"

The two old men looked at each other, and Yang Tehong took the lead and said, "It's up to you, we won't give any advice, you can do what you think you should do. I've taught you for so many years, so this time it's a test. , my topic is - try to get all the inside information out."

Mo Shangtong continued, "The problem I came up with is very simple. It is to ensure the safety of Dr. Luo to leave here, so that Datou Jin can't succeed. As for what to do, you can decide for yourself." He pointed to the one by the door. With a big burden, he said, "You may use some things, I will try my best to prepare them for you, pick them yourself."

Chapter 009 Get him a system

Hua Zhenxing turned around and was about to pick up the baggage, Mo Shangtong reached out his hand to stop him and said, "Don't worry, the meal is not finished yet, sit down and eat well. Dr. Luo is having an operation at noon today, and you can't be reached now. He. I heard from Lao Yang that you had a very interesting dream last night, and I’m also very interested in talking about it.”
