Inside, referring to the upper middle class.

Xie Zhu nodded. The identity given to her by the system was a pauper who lost all her family property and was kicked out of the middle class.

"Yes, it used to be, but not now." Xie Zhu replied.

"Then do you have no place to live now?" Qi Qi asked, "Then do you want to stay with us?"

Xie Zhu was taken aback, he didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic.

Qiqi added: "My grandma is a very nice person. She always takes in homeless people. My name is Qiqi, and I am the seventh child picked up by my grandma."

Xie Zhu looked at grandma, she looked at Xie Zhu gently and kindly, as if no matter what Xie Zhu chose, she would say yes with a smile.

"If it's not too much trouble..."

"No trouble." Grandma said, "This world is in chaos. You are a girl and you have no place to live. Life is hard. You don't mind our shabby place."

Compared with the bustling lights inside, this place is like the Chinese society in the 80s.

Afterwards, Qiqi took Xie Zhu around inside and outside the house.

On the other side of the housing complex, there is a jade mine. These houses were built by the mine owner and leased to the miners.Qiqi said that grandma had adopted seven daughters, but due to various reasons, five of them died before and after, leaving only Ajie and Qiqi.

Now the family's expenses are mainly based on my sister's wages from digging jade mines, and some small gadgets that my grandfather usually carves, and my grandmother and Qiqi go to the woods to pick fruits and mushrooms, and sell them every month, so I can add a little Petty.

In short, life is very poor.

Xie Zhu looked at the endless layers of old houses. The stone-paved path winds in the gaps between the houses, and the complex intersections are like a maze. Carefree children are chasing and chasing among them, giving this gray and white The world has added a little vitality.

Tao Zhiyan may live in one of these houses.

The system didn't provide specific information, so Xie Zhu had to find it by himself.

Just thinking about it gave her a headache again.

This broken system is becoming more and more demonic all day long.

Qiqi took Xie Zhu to the highest place nearby. This side is a mountainous area, and there are low hills in a row, but at a glance, it is almost full of houses and no trees.

At the high point, look down, on the other side of the hill where you are standing, at the end of the house, you can finally see a stretch of trees. The undulating hills block your sight, and at the end of the distant hills is the sea.

"Over there is the mining area." Qi Qi pointed to the highest place.

There is a wide and long hill, the entire mountain is bare, a white road snakes around the mountain, and blue trucks drive in it.On the top of the mountain, you can see several rows of white factory buildings. Behind the factory buildings, there are neatly arranged steel frames. Ant-sized people shuttle between the shelves and the factory buildings.

"Behind the iron frame is a cliff, and there are jade veins in the cliff. Sister and the others are digging jade on the cliff." Qi Qi pointed to the other side and said, "That's the world inside."

Xie Zhu looked at the past, the tall buildings in the city soared to the sky, and the glass walls glistened in the sun. Outside the urban area, there were trees with huge canopies, which looked green and shady, but beyond the trees, there was a flat steel land nearly ten kilometers away. .

That is the isolation zone, separating the two worlds.

Below the steel is a heater. When it is turned on, the steel plate above will heat up to hundreds of degrees in a few seconds. No one can pass through the isolation zone at such a high temperature.

However, the heating is generally not turned on, but is guarded by the army. Except for the stipulated opening date, people who approach the isolation zone privately will be killed for no reason.

There are no obstacles to hide in the entire ten kilometers of steel. People walking on it are like targets, so no one dares to walk in during the forbidden time.

"It's really a magical world inside." Qiqi's eyes showed envy, "We can go to the tree outside the city every month to buy and sell some small things. I saw a lot of strange things in it, and the car can even fly in the sky. fly!"

She said enthusiastically: "And the clothes those people wear are also very beautiful, but we can only look outside, not go in."

Xie Zhu asked, "Do you want to live there?"

Qiqi nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course I do, most people here do. I heard that the dogs in there eat better than us."

After she finished speaking, she smiled embarrassedly: "I heard the last sentence from my grandfather. I don't think it's that exaggerated. Food is so precious..."

After the two turned around, they returned the same way.

Grandma has finished peeling the red fruits, and is spreading their cores on the clean ground to dry. Grandpa is still carving wood in the same posture, and the outline of the carved wood can be faintly seen. She is a graceful ancient girl.

When Xie Zhu came back, it happened to be lunch, and what they ate was a kind of black coarse bread with vegetable soup.

The bread was dry and hard to chew, it was hard to swallow, but fortunately there was soup, otherwise Xie Zhu felt that she might choke to death on the dining table.

Seeing her struggling to chew, Qiqi leaned over and whispered, "We usually eat whatever we want at noon, and we can eat better when sister comes back."

Xie Zhu smiled and said: "This is also very good, the soup is delicious."

Grandma looked at her, laughed and said, "It's good that you can eat it."

After the meal, Xie Zhu followed grandma and Qi Qi to peel the pink core from the red fruit, which was only the size of a fingernail.Hold the crane fruit with two fingers, knock it open with a small hammer, peel off the hard shell, and shake out the tiny light green kernels.

The process was extremely cumbersome and laborious. Xie Zhu peeled the nuts all afternoon, and his fingers for pinching the nuts became red and swollen, and his arm for swinging the hammer was sore and sore.

After work was over, while moving her arms, she secretly sighed that the life in this world is really not a good one.

After she gets to know her for a few days, she has to find Tao Zhiyan quickly and leave after completing the task.

She moved around in a circle, behind her, Qiqi suddenly shouted excitedly: "Sister!"

Xie Zhu looked back and was taken aback for a moment, that sister is Tao Zhiyan!

She was wearing black overalls with her top open and a black vest inside, revealing a fair and delicate collarbone. She had shoulder-length hair tied into a ponytail and was carrying a dirty canvas bag in one hand, which looked heavy.

His brows and eyes were still the outline of Tao Zhiyan, but his expression was much more resolute and indifferent, and there was a kind of coldness and calmness that had been weathered in his eyes.She looked at Xie Zhu deeply in her eyes, without a smile on her face.

Xie Zhu was suddenly a little nervous, this was another Tao Zhiyan.

More mature and more imposing.

Tao Zhiyan handed the canvas bag to grandma, raised his chin slightly, motioned for Xie Zhu, and said softly, "Come with me."

Chapter 38

Tao Zhiyan went straight into the house and went up the stone stairs.

Xie Zhu was stunned for a moment, and followed in a daze.

Tao Zhiyan pushed open the bedroom door, pulled over the only wooden chair, sat down casually, leaned back slightly, and raised his eyes to look directly into Xie Zhu's eyes.

Silent, but extremely majestic posture.

Xie Zhu stood at the door and suddenly paused.

She felt bad, Tao Zhiyan in this world would not only be very difficult to deal with, but also very difficult to cheat.

"Come in." Tao Zhiyan raised his hand.

Xie Zhu swallowed, and walked in.

"Close the door." Tao Zhiyan said again.

Xie Zhu turned around and closed the door. Before she could say anything or do anything to Tao Zhiyan, or even have any interaction, her heartbeat was already out of control.

My whole body is tense.

After Xie Zhu took two steps forward, Tao Zhiyan asked, "Do we know each other?"

Xie Zhu stared at her with eyes wide open, unsure of an answer for a moment.

"Don't lie to me, I can tell." Tao Zhiyan had sharp eyes.

Xie Zhu opened his mouth, and two words floated in his mind - it's over.
