Eevee was a well-meaning man, and he opened a cheap fast food on the street. You can have a meal here for as long as 2,000 Lebanese pounds (about 10 yuan).

But don't think about how good you can eat. Since Lebanon's military conflict with Israel, followed by a ceasefire and civil strife, the country's economy has deteriorated, especially since the war has destroyed a large amount of arable land. At present, the entire Lebanese region produces only 25 per cent of its own food to meet its domestic needs.

So in this cheap restaurant, 2,000 pounds can only eat two burritos with some Middle Eastern stews, and there is basically no meat.

But even so, this is still the best business on the street. Because it's cheap enough, the price here is what the slum dwellers can afford.

If Jenn's bottles sell enough and save up money, he'll come here for a serious meal. But there were very few times like that, and it was difficult for him to earn two thousand pounds a day by picking up bottles.

Unless you go to a wealthy area to commit theft, even stealing some scrap steel is worth more than picking up bottles. But that's dangerous, because the rich areas are under the control of government forces, and there are also a lot of police and troops, as well as peacekeepers.

Moreover, the theft business in the wealthy areas is almost monopolized by the people of the Salvation Society. If he goes to the rich area to steal, then even if he can avoid the police, I am afraid that after returning to the slum area, he will not be able to escape the interrogation of those people who save the people.

Besides, the tall barbed wire fence is not something you can climb through.

Jenn cried for a long time, was sad for a long time, he was tired.

No matter how sad and sad he is, how much he feels resentful of what happened to his family, but he still has to live. Because only by surviving can he have a chance to save his sister. Even if that hope is slim.

After not eating for a day, he staggered to the door of Eevee's shop, Ibu was not a Christian, but he was kinder than many Christians. Because he is at least willing to provide boiled clean water to the homeless.

In the slums, the highest mortality rate is from gastrointestinal diseases, which are caused by irregular diets and unclean drinking water.

Ibrahim, who is able to provide clean drinking water, is already a good man.

Jenn was hungry, but it was time for dinner, and he couldn't get near Eevee's shop. Because I just fell into the sewage, and I smelled on my body.

No one likes to smell that sour smell while eating. It wasn't until the meal was over and there were fewer people eating that Jenn slowly approached the restaurant.

In fact, Eevee had already seen Jenn, he frowned slightly, and then said to Eevee at the door of the store, "Didn't make any money today?"

"Hmm. Jenn nodded.

Eevee glanced at the guests in the restaurant, and he said to Eevee, "Go to the back." ”

The so-called go to the back is the back door that leads Jenn to the restaurant, which is a fellow lane in a narrow alley. This is the back door of the street shop for garbage disposal, and it smells bad.

As soon as Jenn reached the back door of the restaurant, he saw Eevee coming out of the back kitchen with a water pipe.

"Stand still. The bearded Eevee didn't say much nonsense, and his orders were obediently followed by Jenn.

Eevee picked up the hose and sprayed Jenn with water, rinsing the disgusting stain off his body. This flushing is violent, as if the prison guards were rinsing the inmates.

But Jenn didn't dare to be dissatisfied. Because at least people are willing to wash his body and don't have to run to the river to bathe himself.

The violence washed away for about three minutes, and Eevee stopped when Jenn was shivering with cold. He threw a plastic bag to Jenn.

"Your clothes are so torn, you're wearing these old clothes. ”

Inside the plastic bag were some long, long clothes, and a blue shirt that had faded to white.

But the clothes, though old, are at least clean. It's just a bit big, and Jenn passes it on a little out of place.

"Didn't pick up any bottles today?"

"I picked it up, there were more than two hundred. ”

"Where's the bottle?"

"It was snatched away by the people of the Salvation Society. ”

Hearing this, Eevee was silent for a while before shaking his head and saying, "You wait here. With that, he turned and went into the back kitchen, leaving Jenn to wait at the back door.

After a while, he came out with a rice bowl in his hand. There are three loafs in the rice bowl and a small spoonful of stew.

"This ...... This is not appropriate, Mr. Ibrahimovic. I don't have any money......"

"So you can only stand here and eat, you can't go to the antechamber. Eevee frowned: "After eating, go and help me clean up the back kitchen, all the garbage is gone, and all the dishes and chopsticks are washed off." ”

After saying this, Eevee pushed the rice bowl into Jenn's hand and walked away without looking back. He also needs to go to the front room to greet guests.

Jenn, on the other hand, stood in the narrow back alley, looking at the plate of food in his hand by the dim streetlight. Somehow, his tears just clicked and fell.

"Don't cry!

Jenn scolded himself in a low voice: "You scumbag, don't cry!"

The tears gradually put away.

"From today onwards, until I get my sister out, don't cry! Don't cry!" Jenn scolded himself, and then rolled up his sleeves to wipe the tears from his eyes.

He lowered his head and devoured the food that Eevee had brought.

Three loaves and a spoonful of stew, he ate quickly. He was so hungry because he hadn't eaten for a day. Even after eating three cakes, he didn't feel full. But he couldn't ask Eevee anymore, because Eevee also had to do business, and the small shop couldn't make much money.

After eating, wipe away your tears. Jenn walked into the back kitchen.

It's just work, nothing. At the age of twelve, he can already do it.

Jenn was busy in the back kitchen.

Ibu's small shop was already small, and there were no employees at all. He does things alone inside and out. Originally, he had to wash the dishes, chopsticks and tableware in the back kitchen slowly when the store closed at night.

But today Jenn is here and can help him. Jenn was very diligent, and he did all the work he could. Even mopped the floor with a mop when there were few guests.

It wasn't until half past eight in the evening that Eevee saw that there were no more guests before he brought Jenn a glass of water and told him to rest.

In the lobby of the shop, the bearded Eevee and the skinny Jenn were speechless. Ibrahim, who was not good at chatting, turned on the TV hanging on the wall and tuned into an Arab television station.

He wasn't there to see anything, just to make a little noise and make this quiet atmosphere a little more comfortable.

Mr. Zhang's live broadcast was being broadcast on the TV station, and they added Arabic subtitles to the English subtitles.

The two watched TV again, but Ibu didn't have the heart to watch it.

He asked, "Jenn, what are your plans for the future?"

"Me?"

"Yes, you're still young. You can't pick up bottles for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you go to a shop and become an apprentice. ”

"But business is not good right now. None of them are hiring. ”

Jenn was telling the truth, Eevee's small shop couldn't afford an apprentice.

"And what do you think?" Eevee looked at Jenn, "keep picking up the bottles, and now the tentacles of the Salvation Society have reached out to us." If you don't pay for protection, you can't even sell scrap. But if you sell waste and pay protection money, I'm afraid you won't even be able to afford to eat. ”

After saying this, Eevee depressedly opened a bottle of beer and drank it dry in one gulp.

Jenn looked at the TV and thought, "Uncle Eevee, why do you think we're living so hard?" You're a good person, my parents are good people, and my sister is a good person. But why are we working so hard? ”

Ibu looked at the people on the street with numb faces, and he said helplessly: "A good man can't protect himself without weapons and strength." You have to have the power to protect yourself. But when you have power, you become bad, just like the people of the Salvation Society. Many of them were poor in the past. But after the ability awakened, they were even more ruthless to us than the rebels. ”

"So, we good people have to be strong, right?" said Jenn, who turned his head to look at Eevee.

Eevee nodded: "Yes, only good people have the strength to protect themselves and everyone." ”

"Then I know what I'm going to do. Jenn's tone trembled a little: "Uncle Eevee, can you give me some dry food?" ”

"Hmm, what do you want to do?" Ievee looked at Jenn quizzically.

Jenn stood up, pointed to the news on the TV and said, "I'm going to China to find the power to protect us!

Ebu turned his head to look at the TV, where Zhang Tong and Li Lianlong were talking about the cultivator school they were going to open in the Hive.

"As long as you are diligent here, everyone can practice and gain the power that is not weaker than that of the Awakened Ability. Zhang Tong on TV was smiling and amiable.
