Empress is a technical activity

61 chapter

Bai Zheng was about to continue eating dinner but was interrupted by a loud noise at the door.Looking in the direction of the sound, it is the usual situation where miners gather and fight. From the intermittent cursing of the tall man at the head, it is not difficult to know which child is extremely hungry. Steals a loaf of bread, then unfortunately misses it.

Out of curiosity or something else, Bai Zheng tilted his head while holding the hard and rough bread in his mouth, and in the gap between the crowd, Bai Zheng could vaguely see a pair of legs with thin hair and curled up.I don't know that person's foot kicked the child again, and the child's legs shrank slightly, but he didn't dare to move again, in case he suffered a more violent blow.

"What are you looking at?" Hilde raised his head slightly, part of his golden pupils protruding from the low brim of his hat: "Eat well."

"Oh!" Bai Zheng hummed in a perfunctory drawn-out tone, then turned his head and continued to eat his bread.

The weather was not very good. Not long after dinner, there was a light rain outside, and it was crackling for a while, and the miners in the small restaurant gathered together in twos and threes, cursing the ghost weather, while ordering at the counter Two bottles of bad wine, thank you for having a valid reason not to go to work.

After eating the food on the plate, Bai Zheng began to knock on the side of the plate with a spoon boringly when he had nothing to do, making ding ding dong dong.

"Can't you be quiet for a while?" Hilde couldn't bear the constant clashing of dishes and chopsticks, and finally couldn't help yelling at Bai Zheng in a low voice.

"Cut! Knock on a plate and you're not allowed?" Bai Zheng said, holding the backpack in his hand, stood up and walked outside.

"Why are you going?"

"Hush, do you want to come and see?"

"..."

It was still raining outside, and there was a short wooden corridor outside the restaurant, where one or two more tables could be placed, but in rainy weather, these were of no use.

After going out the door, Bai Zheng saw a small group of figures huddled together as expected, and the worn clothes were hanging on the child's body like a sack. From the spotted holes in the clothes, groups of bruises and bloodstains could be clearly seen.Perhaps from hunger or fear, he huddled in a corner to minimize his presence.

The rain temporarily covered the dust all over the sky, and the surroundings unexpectedly saw a gray-blue color besides the earthy yellow. At the same time, the chill and humidity also slowly seeped in. The boy hugged his arms tighter, compared with the wet feeling around him, He would rather live a sunny day with a dusty nose.

Suddenly, a heavy and dry presence pressed down from the top of the boy's head, which startled the boy. When he looked up, he realized that it was a miner's jacket with body temperature.Looking up, there was a young man with a cigarette in his mouth, looking down at him.

His intuition told him that this person was not a miner here, not such a deceitful thing like temperament. For the child, who had lived here for more than ten years, he knew very well that the miners here did not have the habit of meddling in other people's business, let alone It was a kid like him who had just attempted to steal.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Bai Zheng silently looked at the child.

There is a scar at the corner of the eye, the eyes are too sharp, not soft and cute at all, tsk tsk tsk.This is Bai Zheng's inner monologue, although on the surface he is still quietly communicating with the child.

"Take it." Not the kind of soft and weak child, Bai Zheng didn't bother to use his gentlemanly demeanor, and directly handed the bread to the boy sitting on the ground.

The black-haired child with a scar on his face didn't take it, but stared at Bai Zheng more vigilantly.

Tsk!Such a brat is really troublesome!Bai Zheng couldn't help it, and he didn't think the floor was wet and sat down beside the boy: "What? Afraid I'll poison you to death?"

Bai Zheng delivered the bread to the little boy, but the boy still refused to take it.

"Okay." Bai Zheng nodded, and slowly took back the bread: "It's fine if you don't want to eat it, I'm not idle to express my sympathy.

Tore open the wrapper of the bread, and Bai Zheng took a big bite unceremoniously: "To be honest, I really don't need such a bastard when dealing with a child like you."

The little boy wanted to avoid Bai Zheng's appearance of eating, but his hungry body couldn't be controlled at all, and his eyes followed the things in Bai Zheng's hand unconsciously.There was a hollow sound from the stomach and intestines, which was heard clearly by Bai Zheng.

"Do you want to eat?" Bai Zheng slightly sent the bread he took a bite out of: "This is the last chance."

After hesitating for about two or three sides, under the strong driving force of hunger, the boy no longer hesitated to grab the bread and began to stuff it into his mouth.After being hungry for a long time, the appearance of eating is not good. Bai Zheng propped his head on his hands, smiling and watching with great interest.

The bread is delicious, fluffy and soft with a long-lost milky aroma.After eating in two or three bites, the boy licked the corners of his lips, and felt that his stomach, which had been suffering all the time, was much better.

"Finish? Do you want another one?" Bai Zheng asked with his head tilted.

The boy shook his head, he ate too much, he was afraid that he would not be able to afford it.

"En. I'm not happy to give it anymore." Bai Zheng smiled mischievously, and bared his teeth at the child.

The boy ignored him, and continued to look at the rotting boards on the ground with folded arms.The large coat slowly slipped off his shoulders, and Bai Zheng stretched out his big hand to cover him back, and patted the little boy's hair a few times.

"Hate them for bullying you?"

The question was so abrupt that the boy didn't know how to answer it.

"Don't worry, one day you will be as tall as them. At that time, no one will dare to bully you." Bai Zheng looked at the boy and said very firmly.

He has become numb to the life of starvation and beatings, and it took a long time for the boy to understand Bai Zheng's words. Bai Zheng stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'm leaving, and I will eat well in the future."

Back at the dining table, it was obvious that I had written a lot and was impatient to wait, so I couldn't help frowning when I saw Bai Zheng: "It takes so long to go to the bathroom?"

Before Bai Zheng could answer, Leon sat on the side and teased: "Yeah, yeah, Hush, and you still have to carry a bag. Did you eat another round in the cubicle or something?"

Bai Zheng didn't bother to talk to him, sat down and put down his bag silently, drank the water on the table and didn't speak.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lyon shyly retracted his head watching the play and stared at the table intently.

"Go to the mine tomorrow." Hilde's cold voice broke the silence of the table.Leon looked up at him in surprise: "Your Highness is really going?"

Hilde nodded: "It seems that there have been rumors that there is something in the mine for a long time. Only by going to see it can we know what's going on."

"Emma, ​​this, this... If His Majesty finds out, it doesn't seem very good." Leon asked, rubbing his hands together.

"Don't worry about that side, I'll take care of it alone if something goes wrong, you don't have to worry about it."

For the sake of what the boss said, Leon didn't want to say much. After all, Leon was more willing to stand on the side of the royal family as a childhood playmate and confidant.

Going down the mine is actually not difficult. In the opinion of the locals, there is no need for so many heavy safety equipment, and it can be done with long-term experience.But no matter what, there is a distinguished Master Hilde in the team, and Leon still worked tirelessly overnight to get the machinery for going to the mine, as well as all the weapons that can be obtained on this planet.

"Look, this is a small laser projectile gun. I remember it was an old model that I eliminated when I was a teenager in the Imperial Capital. I played with it when I was a child." Leon raised a small gun: "Although it doesn't look very good, but As long as the energy is charged enough, it is more than enough to kill a bear."

"And this, this and this." They are all old models, but the conditions are limited, so you can just use them.As he spoke, he stuffed the laser gun into Du Jin's hand.

"I don't know how to use it." Du Jin wanted to evade, he had indeed grown up and never touched weapons.

"Hold it, it will always help." Leon forced the thing into Du Jin's hand, and then rummaged through a pile of things.

"I also found something like a dagger. It has double blood slots. The amount of blood that can be stabbed is enough for the opponent to drink a pot. Of course, the premise is that the opponent is an ordinary human being." Leon held the handle of the knife and played a trick Hua Dao, hand him to Bai Zheng.

Accustomed to having this kind of cold weapon with him, Bai Zheng didn't feel shy at all, so he took it and put it on his waist.

"High-energy particle gun." Leon looked around at the medium-sized gun with a metallic luster, and then put his hands on Hilde: "Your Highness, I dare not snatch it from you."

Bai Zheng rolled his eyes and silently despised Leon's doggy behavior.

After dividing up the weapons, the rest is safety equipment. There are not many safety equipment available here, and what can be found in the black market are the weapons that Leon brought just now.So there are only clumsy and not very practical things like hard hats and oxygen cylinders.

Leon pulled Bai Zheng and whispered softly: "I got all the things, a total of four people."

"So?" Is it necessary to pull aside this kind of matter and discuss it in a low voice?

"The three of us are fine, but," Leon pointed to Hilde behind him, "do you expect him to wear these things?"

"...It seems to make sense."

"That's why!" Leon patted Bai Zheng's shoulder reassuringly: "This glorious and arduous task is entrusted to you."

"...can I ask why?"

"Because you are the only one among us who can get into His Highness's bed without worrying about losing your head at any time." Leon said seriously.

In a trance, Bai Zheng suddenly realized that his identity was different.

"Do you know what kind of wind is the strongest? Pillow wind!" Leon made a wretched gesture: "It's up to you, comrade, the fate of the organization is in your hands!"

"...Why do I feel more and more reluctant to go after hearing you say that?"

"Illusions are all illusions!"

Leon pushed Bai Zheng towards Hilde: "Come on!"
