[Hunter] The Meteor Legend after Lydia's Life Record
Chapter 4 Dark Sea
The child left, and it seemed that Yalin's youth opened the door and entered the house.
I followed him into the room and asked tentatively, "Is your name Yalin?"
"Hey, didn't I tell you?" He leaned back on the sofa, glanced at me, and said with great interest as if he just remembered, "Then what have you been calling me?"
I counted, called uncle twice, big brother twice, and the rest of the time I made him last name that, name guy in my heart.
There is no need to tell him, I smiled at him embarrassedly, paused for a while and said: "...can I call you Yalin?"
"Whatever." Yalin said indifferently, and he talked about the business: "I found that cave and saw the pool you mentioned."
I immediately became serious and sat on the sofa opposite him and looked at him nervously.
Yalin looked relaxed: "That is indeed the end of the cave. Since it is not a passage to sneak into the sixth area, it doesn't matter."
Infiltrate the channel of the sixth district?I thought to myself, so what he cares about is not the ruins, but the possibility of others sneaking into the sixth district from there?just like me.
"Then I..." I immediately looked at him with wide eyes, implying hope.
"You?" He glanced at me, "You still have to stay here."
"Why?" I asked impatiently, "You have seen that road, why can't you let me go?"
"After two days, when the groundwater level drops, I have to go and have a look." He tapped his fingers on the back of the sofa, as if he was thinking about something, and said slowly.
My face was sullen, and after a while I asked in a low voice: "Then... can I leave after you finish reading it?"
Hearing this, he glanced at me and said, "Are you in a hurry? Where do you want to go?"
I pursed my lips and told him, "I'm going to the second district."
"Second district?" He became interested, looked at me directly and said, "Do you know where the second district is, and you go?" The implication was that he looked down on me.
"I'm going to find someone." I said seriously.
"Who are you looking for?" he asked.
I thought to myself that you were too lenient, and after thinking about it, it was okay to tell him, so I said, "Companion. We got separated...so I really came here by accident." I emphasized.
"Companion? It can't be a kid as old as you, right?" He sneered.
"How do you know?" I asked strangely, and what I wanted to ask was, does this have anything to do with you?
"A person with the ability to read? Or is it the same as you?" He asked without answering.
I looked at him with a puffy face and didn't answer for a long time.
But he smiled, with sympathetic forgiveness, and a bit of malicious ridicule.He said: "I advise you to stop thinking about it! The Sixth District is not just any place, you can come and leave whenever you want."
"The usual rule in the Sixth District is that you can only go in and out. I'm afraid you will have to stay here forever."
"Why?!" I jumped up from the sofa, shocked.
"No reason." He said with a half-smile.
I hated the beating expression on his face, and I couldn't help but look at him with suspicion.This guy won't really want to detain me here because of my ability, right?
"Do you have persecution paranoia?" He saw my doubts, and sneered mercilessly, "Do you really think that you are a sweet potato that everyone loves?"
I blushed and stared at him speechless.
I really thought so, is it my fault?
"Hurry up and get something to eat, I have to go to a meeting later!" He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and ordered me loudly.
I rolled my eyes at him before I could hold back.I've never seen such a slap in the face.
"What's your expression? Do you think I'm so rare?" He sneered, "If you want to eat frozen food, you can go to the refrigerator to get it yourself."
Before I could react, he urged me again: "Don't dawdle! You have to go to a meeting with me later." He didn't miss the opportunity to insert a knife: "You are also from District Six now!"
In the end, I still ordered two fast meals with my words, and sat on the sofa with Yalin looking at each other with distaste for lunch.
I wanted to ask him, if he didn't care about my ability, why didn't he watch me eat fast food and cook his frozen food by himself, but finally gave up.It's pointless to fight for this kind of verbal advantage. He is willing to quarrel with me so shamelessly. It doesn't mean that I can forget that my life is still in other people's hands.
The fact that he speaks so harshly shows that when I obey him, at least not disobey, he is still a reasonable person, rather than relying on his status as a strong person to disregard me as a human being.After all, no one would condescend to argue with a watchdog, would they?Once in the eleventh district, Robin never said nonsense to me other than orders, and I didn't dare to talk back and roll my eyes to Mrs. Ghost Willow like this.
I counted on my fingers, well, so far, the best thing to do is to leave immediately, but at least according to Yalin, my life is completely saved.The sixth district is the sixth district, it is already better than the worst expectation.Optimism is the most important thing when you can't help yourself.
Next, I have to find out as soon as possible what the Sixth District is and whether there are such weird rules.And then... where the hell is the second district?
It was already noon when we came back from the cave, and not long after we finished eating, Yalin was ready to go out.I cleaned up the leftovers graciously, and raised my hand after expressing myself and asked him, "Can I change my clothes?"
He snorted noncommittally, and I waited for a few seconds, but he still sat on the sofa and didn't say anything, then rushed into the bathroom, closed the door and changed out of the clothes that didn't fit and had passed through the corpse.
Yalin was sitting outside, and I didn't dare to enter his room, so I had to hide in the bathroom to change clothes.But this guy's bathroom is not small, not only has a shower, but also a flush toilet, I don't know how he laid the pipes on the beach.What a luxury!
I quickly put on a new pair of long-sleeved trousers, turned on the tap and washed my face, and dawdled in front of the mirror for a few minutes. It was probably almost done before I went out of the bathroom.
"Let's go." Seeing me coming out, Yalin stood up and walked out the door.
Didn't you call me slow?I thought while following him, his tolerance is quite high.Thinking of the upbringing shown in his eating, walking and other actions, he speculated, maybe it was just demeanor?
Yalin led me to walk in the direction opposite to the rocky beach, where the child had left before, along the beach and out of the bay, and turned into a path sandwiched between two cliffs.Go out along the trail, turn on a man-made step road, and start walking up a mountain.The stone steps were cut very steeply, and Yalin walked in front with ease, so I took a little effort, and by the time I climbed to the top, I was already sweating a little.
"I wrapped myself up like a rice dumpling on a hot day." Yalin taunted me without looking back, and suddenly sneered, "Oh, by the way, you are from Liuying Street. Kid, aren't you afraid that you won't wear enough clothes for me?" what to do to you?"
When I heard him say that so suddenly, I almost choked to death on my own saliva.My secret thoughts were exposed in such a tone, I was too ashamed to speak.
But there is one thing he said wrong. I am not afraid of what he will do to me, but what someone will do to me.I am nine years old this year, and I am obviously not developed yet. In Meteor Street, I can no longer see myself as a child.
...Is this my fault?
Seeing that I didn't answer, Yalin said in a disdainful tone: "Don't you feel ashamed to be so narcissistic? Don't dream, just you are such a shriveled bean sprout...Are you humiliating me?"
My eyes were red from what he said, and I climbed up the steep stone steps without even daring to lift my head. "I didn't think so." I whispered in a tight voice, "I didn't think so." I almost cried.
Yalin stopped talking, and it was even less likely that I would take the initiative to speak.
The cliffs along the coast are all about the same height. When you come up, you will find a natural platform, separated by natural ravines in the middle, and there are paths below.We walked along the bare stone wall for a while, and gradually saw a group of people gathering in front of us, and some people came from the path below along the stone steps along the way.Some people, Yalin, would say hello to them, while others walked away from each other very indifferently. These should all be residents of the sixth district.
Follow Yalin to the place where the crowd gathers, about 30 to [-] people form a semicircle sparsely.Yalin didn't move in the middle, but just stood on the outermost edge. I half-hid behind him, looking around at the personnel composition of the sixth district.
It is indeed a place where old monsters live in the legend. People in the six districts are tall, short, fat and thin, but there are two general characteristics. One is that they are all older, basically in their [-]s and [-]s. Considering that people with abilities generally look young , this value should go up further; the second is that these people are very imposing, and they stand at a wide distance from each other. Although they stand in different postures and have all kinds of strange clothes, each of them is covered with " I'm not easy to mess with."
At the beginning, I didn't see the point of "not easy to mess with", because I was small and short, I turned my eyes and looked around.But I immediately found that once my gaze stayed on a certain person for more than a second, no matter how ordinary that person looked, no matter how out of shape, I would immediately look back with lightning-like eyes, obviously without any emotion but ordinary Looking back, it was so oppressive that I couldn't breathe in an instant.
Seeing that I attracted other people's attention, Yalin gave a "tsk" impatiently, and at the same time moved a step indistinctly, just blocking me behind and blocking the sight I attracted from the opposite side.
The pressure on my body suddenly disappeared, and I was relieved immediately, and I didn't dare to look around anymore.I finally understand that the Sixth District is not a name for nothing.Among these people, even if it's the old man who hunched his back and walked a step and panted three times, the drunk with a drunken nose who kept hiccupping, or those two people with waists like buckets and heads wrapped in calico, chatting like crazy The country aunt...I can't afford to mess with one.
Although I didn't see anything, I was impressed by the fact that the tastes of masters are all curious.I found that Yalin is not only one of the youngest among them, but his taste is really normal.
I couldn't help thinking, if he wasn't the handsome young man with a poisonous tongue, but he was coughing and coughing like that tuberculosis ghost over there, or writhing like that two-meter-tall transvestite , I must be a hundred times more painful than now.
So cheap talk and so on can be tolerated.
Those who are content are always happy.
"Almost everyone has arrived, and the meeting starts now." After waiting for about 5 minutes, someone finally spoke.
It was a woman I saw first in the crowd.She was dressed very plainly, her whole body was dusty, and the corners of her skirt were still patched. Even the two country-style aunts next to her were brighter than her.
But so beautiful.
At that time, I didn't dare to look more, but now that she was speaking, everyone's eyes were on her, so I took the opportunity to take a few more glances.A head of long platinum-blonde hair in big waves hangs down to her calves, giving off a dizzying brilliance with a slight sway.This woman doesn't look young anymore, there are fine lines in the corners of her eyes, she is about the same age as Madam Guiliu, or even older, but she is still beautiful and shining, you can see her at a glance when standing in a crowd, that is a kind of The charm of age has long been surpassed.
What also made me pay attention to her was that the child who came to deliver the message was standing behind her, as quiet as a doll.I remember that his name is Ilumi, so this woman is probably the "Mrs. Missel" that Yalin said at that time.
She stood among the crowd and said: "Everyone knows that the Business Alliance and Simon Eris are fighting, and the two sides have been fighting in the eighth district for three days. The question now is whether we should take action to stop them immediately, if Make a move, who to send."
Simple and powerful, so domineering.
Immediately afterwards, the crooked old man who looked sick but had sharp eyes added: "The few of us mean to wait and see what happens for now, but Mithel thinks we can make a move now."
A burly man dressed in ordinary clothes said: "The rules of the Sixth District, we will not take action unless the situation is out of control and will shake the stability of the entire Meteor Street."
"Let's not talk about the business alliance. Eris controls nearly half of the seats in the parliament. They obviously have this weight when they start a war." One of the women who looked like a village woman said.
A quite normal fat old man asked with a smile: "Eris started a war with the eighth district without authorization, what's the old Morrow's reaction?"
Mrs. Missel said: "The poisonous snake's reaction is no response."
Another man with a particularly sharp voice said: "The Viper family has always only cared about their own status, not to mention that I heard that Simon Erris even ceded four seats to Harvey Morrow in order to silence him on this matter. .”
"It seems that he is determined to go to war with the business alliance. Who knows why?" Another person said.
"What are you looking at me for? I've said from the beginning that I don't care about the thirteenth district." Overhead, Yalin suddenly spoke, with an unprecedented indifference in his voice, almost as cold as ice.Compared with that, his previous cynicism towards me was nothing short of smooth.
"If it weren't for the gathering of all the members, I would not be here at all. I abstain from all this matter." Yalin said coldly.
"Why make things difficult for Yalin, I can tell you about this." Mrs. Missel said in a very imposing manner. When she turned her head, her long platinum curly hair was almost like a swaying Milky Way, which reminded me of what Kuroro had given me as a gift. man's diamond necklace.
"A year ago, the Business Alliance hosted the heiress of the Seventh District. Eris once sent someone to disrupt the situation. Since then, the relationship between the two parties has been very tense. Simon Eris insisted that the Business Alliance once sent someone to steal from him. A classified intelligence report, but Maximo refused to admit it."
"What the hell is going on?" someone asked.
"Who cares what's going on with them! I just know that I can't let them continue fighting." Mrs. Missel said with a firm attitude.
"This is war." A tough guy like an ice cube standing not far from Mrs. Missel said.
"But are we going to make a move like this?" an extremely thin old woman asked humanely.
"Where is Ghost Willow? Isn't she determined to stay in District [-]? What's her attitude?" Another woman dressed as a village woman asked.
"There seems to be trouble in Liuying Street. Guiliu can barely protect herself, so don't count on her." No one was visible, it was the voice that was particularly sharp.
"So we still have to take action. These days, it's not easy to raise an old man!" The hunchbacked old man coughed a few times, tremblingly.I remember it was suggested to wait and see what happened in the first place.
It seemed that he represented the opinions of a large part of the people. After he changed his words, the residents of the sixth district quickly reached a consensus.The way they make their decisions is by a show of hands. Except for a few abstentions, most people support immediate intervention to quell the war between the eighth district and the thirteenth district.
"Then who to send?" Someone said.
"I'll go." The ice sculpture-like man next to Mrs. Missel said.
"There has to be one more."
"Oh, then the old man should go too!" A muffled voice came from the drunk nose.
"Two are enough. You can use force to make them shut up as soon as possible." Mrs. Missel, who seemed to have won a big victory, said.
"We'll set off in the afternoon." The ice face said.
"Hurry up!" said a village woman, "The artillery fire over there these two days made my head explode!"
"Who says it's not?" Many people responded.
"Then it's decided. The meeting is adjourned now." Mrs. Missel said.She was full of courage throughout the whole process, and she seemed to be the head of the eldest sister in the sixth district.
The people in District [-] dispersed with emotion like "I can finally sleep well tonight".Most of them looked lazy, but they walked very fast. After a while, the people around them almost dispersed.
Yalin, who stood in front of me the whole time, did not move, and I could only stand still.My feet were a little sore, so I quietly shifted my focus from my left foot to my right foot.
After all the people around were gone, Yalin finally stepped forward.He walked towards Mrs. Missel who was still standing there.I followed suit step by step.
"Mrs. Missel, thank you just now." Yalin nodded to her, that kind of polite and reserved attitude is not something that ordinary people can cultivate.
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Missel seemed to know Yalin very well, and waved her hands, "I understand your difficulties. Since you have entered the sixth district, you can do what you want." She is dazzlingly beautiful, but she is a A proud woman.
"What's the matter with this little girl?" She glanced at me who was hiding behind Yalin, and asked.His eyes were silvery, and he only turned around on me before returning.
"It came out of the crack in the rock on my side." Yalin said with a smile, "I thought it was a secret passage leading directly to the sixth district. I was shocked. I didn't expect it to be a false alarm. I went to see it. It can only allow her such a small body to pass through, just turn around and block it, it's not a concern."
"It's just that I picked up such a troublesome little thing, so it's not easy to throw it away." Yalin shrugged his shoulders, as if disgusted.
I pretended to be very obedient, but in fact I really wanted to roll my eyes.
"Why, do you want to raise it yourself?" Mrs. Missel raised her eyebrows in surprise, looked at me again, and said to Yalin, "That's fine, your life was too deserted before, and there were no young people at all. Vitality. I think she is about the same age as Illumi, if you need any help, just come to me."
"Okay, thank you, Mrs. Missel. Then I will take my leave first." Yalin said.
Hello!As if I am a cat or a dog.
...Even if it's a cat or a dog, you can't take it casually if you have the owner!
It's a pity that there is no room for me to express my opinion, I can only curse people in my stomach.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Missel and the child named Illumi behind her who was less present than me, I followed Yalin down the stone steps.
This time we went directly down the stone steps closest to the meeting place, and at the end we found a winding and narrow stone path with reefs more than ten meters high on both sides.The place we came down happened to be at the end of the stone path. On one side is a winding path leading to seclusion, and at the end is the seaside, but on the other side is a large open flat land.
Yalin walked towards the depths of the stone path, and I looked to the other side curiously, only to see that outside this long flat land was the scenery I was most familiar with, the rolling garbage mountain!
There was a huge iron gate standing between the garbage mountain and this open space, and I stopped without knowing it—it must be the exit of District Six!
"What are you looking at? Want to run?" Yalin's voice came from behind, with a familiar tone of a half-smile.
I had no choice but to turn around, look at him and said sincerely: "This is really not there."
He smiled hypocritically at me and said, "I think so too. Do you know where the second district is?"
I shook my head again and again, looking at him expectantly.
He squatted directly on the ground, picked up a stone at hand and scratched it on the ground.I squatted beside him to watch, and saw that he was holding a not-so-sharp stone and scratching deep grooves on the black reef like scratching tofu.
He drew a rectangle on the ground, and then drew a circle on one narrow side of the rectangle, "Look, this is District Six."
Then he raised his hand and drew a circle on the narrow side opposite, "Here, this is the second district."
He threw away the stone in his hand, clapped his hands and straightened up, looked down at me with pity in his eyes: "Do you understand?"
I looked at the two furthest circles on his terribly abstract map and nodded in dismay.If I had to go through the entire Meteor Street from the sixth district to the second district, I would definitely not be able to do it by myself.
I stood up drooping, thinking that this time I might have to stay here and wait for Kuroro to pick me up.
This time I can be honest.
"Let's go if you're honest." A slender finger stretched out and poked me on the forehead, and the guy who was most likely to take me in for the time being said angrily.
He definitely has no experience in poking people's foreheads, the force is very heavy, I quickly rubbed my hands, there is 100% a red mark there!
I followed him back along the winding stone path, both sides were shaded by the reef, which was much more comfortable than being exposed to the sun above.
Yalin walked briskly in front, his legs were long and his strides were long, and I had to squeeze my calves tightly after following, like an angry little daughter-in-law.
"It's not impossible for me to take you in." He said leisurely and kindly, "But you have to cook."
Relying on the lack of eyes in his back, I grimaced at him viciously, and said angrily in my heart: Who wants to be raised by you?Where is the face?Get cheap and sell well!
But he said in his mouth: "I don't know how to cook...but I can get a menu, and you order according to the menu."
The author has something to say: the number of words in each chapter is so large that I think it can be split into two chapters... I really want to do this (hey...but the author has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and must stop where it should be. It's just that these two days are very busy I just made it in time, I’m going to be busy in the future, I’m afraid I can’t finish writing/(ㄒoㄒ)/——Everyone please leave a lot of messages to encourage me (☆▽☆)
I followed him into the room and asked tentatively, "Is your name Yalin?"
"Hey, didn't I tell you?" He leaned back on the sofa, glanced at me, and said with great interest as if he just remembered, "Then what have you been calling me?"
I counted, called uncle twice, big brother twice, and the rest of the time I made him last name that, name guy in my heart.
There is no need to tell him, I smiled at him embarrassedly, paused for a while and said: "...can I call you Yalin?"
"Whatever." Yalin said indifferently, and he talked about the business: "I found that cave and saw the pool you mentioned."
I immediately became serious and sat on the sofa opposite him and looked at him nervously.
Yalin looked relaxed: "That is indeed the end of the cave. Since it is not a passage to sneak into the sixth area, it doesn't matter."

"Companion? It can't be a kid as old as you, right?" He sneered.
"How do you know?" I asked strangely, and what I wanted to ask was, does this have anything to do with you?
"A person with the ability to read? Or is it the same as you?" He asked without answering.

It was already noon when we came back from the cave, and not long after we finished eating, Yalin was ready to go out.I cleaned up the leftovers graciously, and raised my hand after expressing myself and asked him, "Can I change my clothes?"
He snorted noncommittally, and I waited for a few seconds, but he still sat on the sofa and didn't say anything, then rushed into the bathroom, closed the door and changed out of the clothes that didn't fit and had passed through the corpse.

When I heard him say that so suddenly, I almost choked to death on my own saliva.My secret thoughts were exposed in such a tone, I was too ashamed to speak.
But there is one thing he said wrong. I am not afraid of what he will do to me, but what someone will do to me.I am nine years old this year, and I am obviously not developed yet. In Meteor Street, I can no longer see myself as a child.
...Is this my fault?
Seeing that I didn't answer, Yalin said in a disdainful tone: "Don't you feel ashamed to be so narcissistic? Don't dream, just you are such a shriveled bean sprout...Are you humiliating me?"

The pressure on my body suddenly disappeared, and I was relieved immediately, and I didn't dare to look around anymore.I finally understand that the Sixth District is not a name for nothing.Among these people, even if it's the old man who hunched his back and walked a step and panted three times, the drunk with a drunken nose who kept hiccupping, or those two people with waists like buckets and heads wrapped in calico, chatting like crazy The country aunt...I can't afford to mess with one.
Although I didn't see anything, I was impressed by the fact that the tastes of masters are all curious.I found that Yalin is not only one of the youngest among them, but his taste is really normal.
I couldn't help thinking, if he wasn't the handsome young man with a poisonous tongue, but he was coughing and coughing like that tuberculosis ghost over there, or writhing like that two-meter-tall transvestite , I must be a hundred times more painful than now.
So cheap talk and so on can be tolerated.
Those who are content are always happy.
"Almost everyone has arrived, and the meeting starts now." After waiting for about 5 minutes, someone finally spoke.
It was a woman I saw first in the crowd.She was dressed very plainly, her whole body was dusty, and the corners of her skirt were still patched. Even the two country-style aunts next to her were brighter than her.
But so beautiful.
At that time, I didn't dare to look more, but now that she was speaking, everyone's eyes were on her, so I took the opportunity to take a few more glances.A head of long platinum-blonde hair in big waves hangs down to her calves, giving off a dizzying brilliance with a slight sway.This woman doesn't look young anymore, there are fine lines in the corners of her eyes, she is about the same age as Madam Guiliu, or even older, but she is still beautiful and shining, you can see her at a glance when standing in a crowd, that is a kind of The charm of age has long been surpassed.
What also made me pay attention to her was that the child who came to deliver the message was standing behind her, as quiet as a doll.I remember that his name is Ilumi, so this woman is probably the "Mrs. Missel" that Yalin said at that time.
She stood among the crowd and said: "Everyone knows that the Business Alliance and Simon Eris are fighting, and the two sides have been fighting in the eighth district for three days. The question now is whether we should take action to stop them immediately, if Make a move, who to send."
Simple and powerful, so domineering.
Immediately afterwards, the crooked old man who looked sick but had sharp eyes added: "The few of us mean to wait and see what happens for now, but Mithel thinks we can make a move now."
A burly man dressed in ordinary clothes said: "The rules of the Sixth District, we will not take action unless the situation is out of control and will shake the stability of the entire Meteor Street."
"Let's not talk about the business alliance. Eris controls nearly half of the seats in the parliament. They obviously have this weight when they start a war." One of the women who looked like a village woman said.
A quite normal fat old man asked with a smile: "Eris started a war with the eighth district without authorization, what's the old Morrow's reaction?"
Mrs. Missel said: "The poisonous snake's reaction is no response."
Another man with a particularly sharp voice said: "The Viper family has always only cared about their own status, not to mention that I heard that Simon Erris even ceded four seats to Harvey Morrow in order to silence him on this matter. .”
"It seems that he is determined to go to war with the business alliance. Who knows why?" Another person said.
"What are you looking at me for? I've said from the beginning that I don't care about the thirteenth district." Overhead, Yalin suddenly spoke, with an unprecedented indifference in his voice, almost as cold as ice.Compared with that, his previous cynicism towards me was nothing short of smooth.
"If it weren't for the gathering of all the members, I would not be here at all. I abstain from all this matter." Yalin said coldly.
"Why make things difficult for Yalin, I can tell you about this." Mrs. Missel said in a very imposing manner. When she turned her head, her long platinum curly hair was almost like a swaying Milky Way, which reminded me of what Kuroro had given me as a gift. man's diamond necklace.
"A year ago, the Business Alliance hosted the heiress of the Seventh District. Eris once sent someone to disrupt the situation. Since then, the relationship between the two parties has been very tense. Simon Eris insisted that the Business Alliance once sent someone to steal from him. A classified intelligence report, but Maximo refused to admit it."
"What the hell is going on?" someone asked.
"Who cares what's going on with them! I just know that I can't let them continue fighting." Mrs. Missel said with a firm attitude.
"This is war." A tough guy like an ice cube standing not far from Mrs. Missel said.
"But are we going to make a move like this?" an extremely thin old woman asked humanely.
"Where is Ghost Willow? Isn't she determined to stay in District [-]? What's her attitude?" Another woman dressed as a village woman asked.
"There seems to be trouble in Liuying Street. Guiliu can barely protect herself, so don't count on her." No one was visible, it was the voice that was particularly sharp.
"So we still have to take action. These days, it's not easy to raise an old man!" The hunchbacked old man coughed a few times, tremblingly.I remember it was suggested to wait and see what happened in the first place.
It seemed that he represented the opinions of a large part of the people. After he changed his words, the residents of the sixth district quickly reached a consensus.The way they make their decisions is by a show of hands. Except for a few abstentions, most people support immediate intervention to quell the war between the eighth district and the thirteenth district.
"Then who to send?" Someone said.
"I'll go." The ice sculpture-like man next to Mrs. Missel said.
"There has to be one more."
"Oh, then the old man should go too!" A muffled voice came from the drunk nose.
"Two are enough. You can use force to make them shut up as soon as possible." Mrs. Missel, who seemed to have won a big victory, said.
"We'll set off in the afternoon." The ice face said.
"Hurry up!" said a village woman, "The artillery fire over there these two days made my head explode!"
"Who says it's not?" Many people responded.
"Then it's decided. The meeting is adjourned now." Mrs. Missel said.She was full of courage throughout the whole process, and she seemed to be the head of the eldest sister in the sixth district.
The people in District [-] dispersed with emotion like "I can finally sleep well tonight".Most of them looked lazy, but they walked very fast. After a while, the people around them almost dispersed.
Yalin, who stood in front of me the whole time, did not move, and I could only stand still.My feet were a little sore, so I quietly shifted my focus from my left foot to my right foot.
After all the people around were gone, Yalin finally stepped forward.He walked towards Mrs. Missel who was still standing there.I followed suit step by step.
"Mrs. Missel, thank you just now." Yalin nodded to her, that kind of polite and reserved attitude is not something that ordinary people can cultivate.
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Missel seemed to know Yalin very well, and waved her hands, "I understand your difficulties. Since you have entered the sixth district, you can do what you want." She is dazzlingly beautiful, but she is a A proud woman.
"What's the matter with this little girl?" She glanced at me who was hiding behind Yalin, and asked.His eyes were silvery, and he only turned around on me before returning.
"It came out of the crack in the rock on my side." Yalin said with a smile, "I thought it was a secret passage leading directly to the sixth district. I was shocked. I didn't expect it to be a false alarm. I went to see it. It can only allow her such a small body to pass through, just turn around and block it, it's not a concern."
"It's just that I picked up such a troublesome little thing, so it's not easy to throw it away." Yalin shrugged his shoulders, as if disgusted.
I pretended to be very obedient, but in fact I really wanted to roll my eyes.
"Why, do you want to raise it yourself?" Mrs. Missel raised her eyebrows in surprise, looked at me again, and said to Yalin, "That's fine, your life was too deserted before, and there were no young people at all. Vitality. I think she is about the same age as Illumi, if you need any help, just come to me."
"Okay, thank you, Mrs. Missel. Then I will take my leave first." Yalin said.
Hello!As if I am a cat or a dog.
...Even if it's a cat or a dog, you can't take it casually if you have the owner!
It's a pity that there is no room for me to express my opinion, I can only curse people in my stomach.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Missel and the child named Illumi behind her who was less present than me, I followed Yalin down the stone steps.
This time we went directly down the stone steps closest to the meeting place, and at the end we found a winding and narrow stone path with reefs more than ten meters high on both sides.The place we came down happened to be at the end of the stone path. On one side is a winding path leading to seclusion, and at the end is the seaside, but on the other side is a large open flat land.
Yalin walked towards the depths of the stone path, and I looked to the other side curiously, only to see that outside this long flat land was the scenery I was most familiar with, the rolling garbage mountain!
There was a huge iron gate standing between the garbage mountain and this open space, and I stopped without knowing it—it must be the exit of District Six!
"What are you looking at? Want to run?" Yalin's voice came from behind, with a familiar tone of a half-smile.
I had no choice but to turn around, look at him and said sincerely: "This is really not there."
He smiled hypocritically at me and said, "I think so too. Do you know where the second district is?"
I shook my head again and again, looking at him expectantly.
He squatted directly on the ground, picked up a stone at hand and scratched it on the ground.I squatted beside him to watch, and saw that he was holding a not-so-sharp stone and scratching deep grooves on the black reef like scratching tofu.
He drew a rectangle on the ground, and then drew a circle on one narrow side of the rectangle, "Look, this is District Six."
Then he raised his hand and drew a circle on the narrow side opposite, "Here, this is the second district."
He threw away the stone in his hand, clapped his hands and straightened up, looked down at me with pity in his eyes: "Do you understand?"
I looked at the two furthest circles on his terribly abstract map and nodded in dismay.If I had to go through the entire Meteor Street from the sixth district to the second district, I would definitely not be able to do it by myself.
I stood up drooping, thinking that this time I might have to stay here and wait for Kuroro to pick me up.
This time I can be honest.
"Let's go if you're honest." A slender finger stretched out and poked me on the forehead, and the guy who was most likely to take me in for the time being said angrily.
He definitely has no experience in poking people's foreheads, the force is very heavy, I quickly rubbed my hands, there is 100% a red mark there!
I followed him back along the winding stone path, both sides were shaded by the reef, which was much more comfortable than being exposed to the sun above.
Yalin walked briskly in front, his legs were long and his strides were long, and I had to squeeze my calves tightly after following, like an angry little daughter-in-law.
"It's not impossible for me to take you in." He said leisurely and kindly, "But you have to cook."
Relying on the lack of eyes in his back, I grimaced at him viciously, and said angrily in my heart: Who wants to be raised by you?Where is the face?Get cheap and sell well!
But he said in his mouth: "I don't know how to cook...but I can get a menu, and you order according to the menu."
The author has something to say: the number of words in each chapter is so large that I think it can be split into two chapters... I really want to do this (hey...but the author has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and must stop where it should be. It's just that these two days are very busy I just made it in time, I’m going to be busy in the future, I’m afraid I can’t finish writing/(ㄒoㄒ)/——Everyone please leave a lot of messages to encourage me (☆▽☆)
