114. Chapter 114
"Brother Yi Tuan, can you tell me what it's like outside?" Mai Mai was born on Star 11, and he had no idea of the prosperous world described by the elderly elders in the village, he had never seen a car that could move by people or animals, let alone a ship that could ascend to the sky, and a magical tool that could talk from a long distance, etc., all of them were like listening to a novel.
The village is not allowed to talk about this, after all, these are too far away from them, their motherland is gone, unless they are sold into slavery, they will never be able to get out of this backward and barren planet, and mentioning the past is only to add to the sadness.
Yi Tuan knows everything, he talks a lot of interesting things outside, delicious and fun, and all kinds of novel high-tech products, TVs, computers, magnetic cars, aircraft and the like.
Mai Mai listened to the starry eyes, the outside is really interesting, no wonder everyone yearns for it, I really want to see it with my own eyes.
"If I have a chance to get out of here, shall I take you with me?" Yi Tuan held Mai Mai's hand, "I'm the same as you, I'm an orphan, my parents are no longer with me, and then I met a new family, they are all very good people, very good to me, you go back with me, my family will definitely like you, come to my house, when our children are good." ā
Yi Tuan said that Mai Mai was naturally happy, it was very bitter here, his parents had always wanted to leave here, but they didn't realize this wish until he died, if he could leave, it would be like a dream, and the dead parents would be very happy, right?
Ke Yituan is the young master of a good family at first glance, how can a person like him become the family of such a noble person, the two of them are not a good match at all.
"IāI'm reluctant to leave Aunt Amy." Mai Mai lowered his head, "They are very good to me, and they also take good care of my parents when they are sick, I am especially grateful to them and want to repay them well." ā
"Mai Mai ......" Yi Tuan's nose is a little sour.
"Brother Yituan, you don't have to worry too much, I was born here, I grew up here, I'm used to life here, I haven't seen the outside world, I don't know anything about the buns, so I don't really want to go out." Mai Mai tilted his head and showed a small smile, "Brother Yi Tuan is so good to me, Mai Mai will always keep it in mind, let's talk about something else, and then discuss how to find a signal, right?" ā
āā¦ā¦ Well. Yi Tuan's heart was like a ball of cotton, which was particularly uncomfortable, an indescribable discomfort.
I don't know how long we talked about it, Otis finally came back, and he exchanged it for a small bag of change, including silver coins, copper coins, and iron coins, and it was definitely inconvenient to walk outside with gold coins.
There was also some food that looked okay and clean clothes.
The clothes are made of coarse cloth, it is said that there is no textile factory here, only this kind of hand-spun coarse cloth, coarse is a little coarse, but it is very clean, the color is relatively inconspicuous, dusty, with a hood, it is more hidden when going out, it is not eye-catching, and it is very wide, you can add clothes in it when the temperature drops down at night, many people here wear this kind of clothes, which are dirty and wear-resistant.
Otis bought several sets large and small, he wanted to wear them himself, Yi Tuan and Louise also wore them, and the appearance of the three of them was not worrying.
Even Mai Mai got a new set of clothes, Otis is not conscientious, he thinks that Mai Mai and Yi Tuan have a good relationship, if Yi Tuan is dirty all day long, it will be bad, Yi Tuan is already squeamish, not to mention pregnant, the people around him must also be clean to rest assured.
Mai Mai put on new clothes and went back to his room, the gold coins and small notes were carefully hidden in his old clothes and taken out, he was so trusted for the first time, he felt full of responsibility, clenched his fists and swore that he must help Yi Tuan.
"My hair is dry, get dressed and get out of bed to eat, I bought a lot of food, it's definitely not as good as what you usually eat, but in this kind of place, you can only get down." Otis reached out and touched Yi Tuan's head, the soft hair felt very good, hey, it's still a child, but she's pregnant, and Chester is really ruthless.
Yi Tuan obediently got out of bed, the coarse cloth clothes were not very comfortable, but they were very dry, "How is it outside, are you still going out smoothly?" ā
"It's not very safe, it's okay when I go out, someone followed me after I exchanged gold coins from the exchange, but I sent them away." Otis understated.
"Huh?! Isn't that dangerous, and what to do in the future? Yi Tuan said worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just a little gangster, I can handle it, but don't just go out casually." Otis looked at Yi Tuan, "You probably can't beat girls of the same age, and you won't be able to escape if you go out and be targeted, none of the gangsters here are good at stubble, but they are not as kind as me." ā
Yi Tuan shrank in fright, although Otis kidnapped him, he was an elegant kidnapper, and he didn't treat him harshly in life, and he would still take care of Chester, a double black clansman.
But it's hard to talk about being caught by other people, just look at it all the way, it's too difficult to find an upright and good person in this city, even if it's really a good person, then you definitely can't do this kind of thing, and most of the people who can do this kind of thing are extremely vicious villains, and they will definitely not treat him well.
Otis was very satisfied with Yi Tuan's expression, in fact, although he had encountered some trouble outside, he was actually not in pain.
He inquired, although there is no law here, but under the management of the city lord, there is still a bit of a system. Society. Gangs and other gangs also have their own code of conduct, and they won't do things casually.
And the city is divided into regions, different areas and different gangs are managed, and they do not invade each other, as long as they pay the protection fee, they can live a relatively peaceful life, and small harassment is indispensable, but as long as they are obedient, there will be no major incidents.
After the new lord took office, the city was much more peaceful.
Otis met the person who was following him, but he quickened his pace and quickly got rid of it, the next time he changed money, he would go during the day, it would be too easy to be targeted at night.
He exaggerated his words a little just to make Yi Tuan afraid, so that Yi Tuan could stay by his side and listen to him and not walk around.
The food here looks very coarse, but the taste is surprisingly good, Otis bought takeaway in a very popular tavern, they haven't eaten meat for a few days, he bought a lot of meat, Yi Tuan needs nutrition now, and he can't stand just eating fruit biscuits and wild vegetables.
Shui Yituan ate several pieces of meat, and he didn't eat meat for several days, but he was hungry to death.
"By the way, did you ask about the signal, can you get in touch with the outside?" Yi Tuan is most concerned about this.
"No, there's no communicator or computer or anything like that, not even electricity." Otis shook his head, "I can only go to the factory to have a look, I have inquired, the factory is about a hundred kilometers away from here, not too far." He wiped Yi Tuan's mouth with a handkerchief, and the kid devoured it and ate it outside.
"More than a hundred kilometers is not far? There is no convenient transportation here, so it takes a few days to come and go, right? Yi Tuan didn't have a very good idea of distance, "Let's go in a carriage?" ā
"It's not us, it's me, what's the use of you going, to drag me back?" Otis looked down on Yi Tuan's appearance, "I'm very confident in my skills, but it's hard to say with you this burden, you just stay in the city obediently, and tomorrow we will change to a better place to live, this place is too simple and not safe enough." ā
"Huh? Why, aren't we going to act together? Yi Tuan frowned.
In fact, his heart blossomed, it was a great thing for him that Otis was away for a few days, and it would be much easier for him not to monitor his movements, otherwise it would be inconvenient for Mai Mai to sue him if he found any clues.
However, he was happy in his heart, but the expression on Yi Tuan's face was completely opposite, he had to hide from Otis's eyes, lest he suddenly regret taking him on the road.
But after a while, Otis poured a basin of cold water on him, "Don't worry, I'm going to have Louise take care of you, she's still careful, if you have anything to do, let her do it, let her buy whatever you want to eat, in short, tell her what you want, I will tell her to take good care of you." ā
Yi Tuan: "......" uh, he almost forgot that there was such a person, Louise had been very weak in the past two days, and the room they were living in was different.
However, Louise is a woman, and it is easy for him to find an excuse to get the other party to avoid it.
Let's go, let's go, you leave quickly, I'll do things when you're gone.
Yi Tuan prayed in his heart.
After eating and sleeping, the two didn't say anything all night, and the next morning Otis went out to find a house, he rented a fairly good house, more than a dozen rooms, enough for everyone in the team to move in, and this house has a big yard, so that it will not be too boring at home, and Yi Tuan can go out for a walk.
The location of the house is not very remote, there is a snack street outside the door, it is very convenient to buy things, Otis gave Amy another gold coin, please take care of Yi Tuan in the days after he left, no need to save money, although it is good.
Eating people with short mouths and short hands, Otis's generosity surprised Amy, they were really lucky to meet these three outsiders, so they promised again and again that they would take care of them and let him go out with confidence.
Louise didn't have any special instructions from Otis, and he believed that Louise would do a good job.
After a day's repair, Otis went on the road with dry rations and communicators, etc., he did not look for a car, his feet were much faster than the carriage here, and set off on foot.
Looking at the back of Otis leaving, Yi Tuan breathed a sigh of relief, this plague god finally left.
Louise's eyes were dim, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy, and she stood in the doorway and stared at the departing back of Otis for a long, long time, until Otis disappeared around the corner......
