It was a large complex of low-rise buildings, nicknamed the Slums.

When the old man came to his home in the slum, it was a misshapen hut made of wooden planks scattered and scattered, leaking everywhere, and even the door panels on the barricades were pitiful.

instructed Ye Zi to carry Ye Rui in and put it on the bed, and the old man asked Ye Zi to get some water, twist a towel and cover Ye Rui's forehead.

Judging from the eyes alone, I don't know how many degrees Ye Rui has burned, but the whole face is flushed and flushed, and the exhalation is slightly rapid, and when my hand touches it, it is hot.

Lao Tzu frowned slightly, asked Ye Zi to take care of Ye Rui, and then walked outside the house and began to boil medicine.

It is also thanks to his knowledge of pharmacology, because he is alone, so whenever the cold winter comes, he will always prepare medicinal herbs at home, after all, if he accidentally catches the cold, in this selfish slum, he can only die again.

It is also Ye Zi's luck to meet the old man, and because he said that sentence decisively without hesitation, the old man will bring him back, otherwise Ye Rui will have a high fever in this environment, and he can definitely only wait for death.

Since then, the slum has had two more children.

Ye Zi did not tell the old man that he had a home in the bustling city to the south, nor did he tell the old man that he had escaped from the orphanage and killed a person there.

After that, Ye Zi fulfilled his promise, took the old man's sleigh, and with his weak body, he went out every day to find food, picked around in the snow, and brought everything that seemed to be edible, and then pulled it back, so that the old man could jump out of what he could eat.

Ten days later, the old man carefully sealed the wooden plank, locked it, and then took the dirty Ye Zi to a place.

Along the way, there are many people who follow their hearts, all in the same direction.

Walked out of the complex and came to a stinking clearing, which turned out to be a garbage dump.

Many people have come out of the slums, scattered around the garbage dumps, and everyone is looking south, where the outline of a bustling city is located.

"What are we doing here?" Ye Zi asked in a low voice.

"Wait for garbage." The old man replied.

"What? Waiting for garbage? Ye Zi raised his eyebrows.

"Once a month, the city dumps garbage here, and if you're lucky, you can find food and useful things from the garbage heaps." The old man also looked in the direction of the south and explained casually.

Ye Zi was stunned, this was the first time he knew the slums.

Not long after, many trucks carrying garbage came slowly from the road, one after another fell down, and when all the cars left, the surrounding people rushed to the mountains of garbage with a bang.

The old man pulled Ye Zi, who was stunned, and rushed into the garbage heap.

The old man picked up three plush coats with little damage, a pack of sausages that expired in two days, a bite of bread wrapped in a bag, a flattened cigarette, and Ye Zi was empty-handed.

Under the disdainful gaze of the old man, the two returned to the broken wooden house.

Seeing the two coming back, Ye Rui showed a happy smile, and then pulled her face and said, "Brother, I'm hungry." ”

Ye Zi was stunned, and the old man directly handed the sausage to Ye Rui and said, "Eat it." ”

"Thank you, grandpa." Ye Rui took the sausage, and a smile appeared on the face she was pulling.

When the old man heard the claim, he couldn't help but have a touch of warmth in his eyes, and happily looked at Ye Rui, who was eating sausages one bite at a time.

Ye Zi, who was watching this scene, Ye Zi, who came back empty-handed from the garbage dump, suddenly had the urge to rush back to the garbage dump again...

Since then, Ye Zi and Ye Rui have started to live in the slums.

Maybe the orphanage had concerns, so even if one person died, it didn't cause any news.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

The old man is getting older, his body is getting worse and worse, and he can't move for too long every day, so only Ye Zi is alone to find food and bear the livelihood of the whole family.

In the past five years, more and more garbage has been transported out of the city, from once a month to once every three days.

In the past, once a month, it always brought good goods to people in the slums, but with the infinite increase in garbage, this has become a problem.

The garbage was piled up more and more, and began to oppress the living environment of the slums, so the people in the slums began to resist, and once when the garbage truck came in, the slum people blocked it and did not let it in, and in the end, the driver carrying the garbage had to go back.

That night, a fire descended without warning.

When the fire was discovered, it was too fierce to be stopped by manpower, and the entire night sky was illuminated by the fire, and from a distance, the low buildings were submerged in the fire, like a fire dragon lying on the ground.

The fire came suddenly, and when he was surprised, there were already raging flames around the house where Ye Zi was.

The old man knew that he was unable to move, and if he let Ye Zi take him, maybe the three of them would be surrounded by the fire and eventually die in the fire.

So when Ye Zi was holding Ye Rui with one hand and wanted to hold his hand with the other, he slapped it away with one hand.

"Let's go."

In just two words, the attitude and tone are very resolute.

Ye Zi said without hesitation: "Let's go together." ”

The old man looked at him disdainfully and said, "You are not stupid, you know why I want to stay." ”

Ye Zi couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, and repeated: "Let's go together." ”

"Stinky little ghost, being alive is more important than anything else, do you want Xiaorui to suffer misfortune?" The old man sighed softly.

"Grandpa, if you don't leave, then I won't leave either!" Ye Rui seemed to see something, and looked at the old man anxiously with a small face.

"Haha." The old man smiled happily when he heard this, and said seriously: "Don't say stupid things. Then, he looked at Ye Zi viciously, and his meaning was clearly expressed.

"Goodbye." Ye Zi knew that he couldn't drag it out any longer, bit his lower lip, decisively pulled Ye Rui's arm, left a hasty goodbye, and turned around and left without hesitation.

Seeing that the old man was going to be left alone in the house, Ye Rui suddenly began to struggle and shouted, "How can you do this? Grandpa will be burned to death. ”

Ye Zi didn't say a word, and Ye Rui resisted all the way, dragging her out of the complex surrounded by flames.

That night, many people looked at the house engulfed in flames, kneeling and speechless, some wailing, some scolding.

Ye Rui cried profusely, while Ye Zi just quietly watched the fire and said nothing.

This is a man-made arson that does not need to be examined.

He had seen this cruelty when he was six years old.

So, that's what he's going through, which is the world...

All the images were twisted and sucked into a black hole.

Under the dark underground, standing beside the bed, Madara had a look of shock on the face of the ancient well, but it was a rare gaffe.

Bai Jue looked at Madara and was surprised, but he didn't know what Madara saw.

"Ha, haha...!" A low laugh suddenly sounded under the quiet underground.

"It's really... It's so amazing that it makes me feel uneasy. ”

Madara looked at Ye Zi on the bed, and an inexplicable strange light flashed in his eyes.

Actually... Got another world? (To be continued.) )
