824 stinky water

A well-dressed man, standing on the edge of the road, looked at his men, frowned and asked, "Will this work?" ”

"What's not to do? We started doing this in Bude City, and it was convenient and efficient. His men were unimpressed, and replied in the affirmative.

"Okay, listen to you." This decent man did not insist on his own opinion, and directly nodded in agreement with his subordinate's statement.

Anyway, all he wants is to complete the work here as soon as possible, and as for how to complete it, he actually doesn't want to care.

"Son, would you like to take this job?" The man symbolically asked the child who took the job, that is, to go through a process.

"Yes, sir, I am willing to accept the job." The boy nodded and replied earnestly.

"It's dangerous and scary, are you prepared?" The man emphasized, this is also routine.

"I'm not afraid, sir." The boy continued. This is the standard answer, because only by saying so will he be able to get paid.

"You are a brave child...... Tanson, about the remuneration, you talked to this kid clearly? The well-dressed man asked a question of his concern.

The Irlanhill Empire does not have a total ban on child labor, and as long as everyone is willing, no one will be held accountable for this kind of transaction. Although child labor was already rare in areas such as Seris, many children in other parts of the empire were still on the move to make ends meet.

"Yes, sir, if he completes this work, he will be paid 3 gold coins." Tanson's men nodded and replied.

"It's cheap." The well-dressed man sneered, this kind of price was indeed much, much cheaper than previously estimated.

If it were all at this cost, he could get the job done here very quickly, and he could save a lot of money. The only thing he regretted was that in the farther south, this approach no longer worked.

"It's all for the price, and I've already given it very high." Tenson's subordinate looked at the emaciated child in front of him and spoke to his superior.

The decent man put his hands behind his back and walked into the distance: "Let him hurry up and work...... This month, we're going to get all the work done here, you know, time is money. ”

In the dark, barely visible space, the emaciated boy struggled to crawl forward.

There was a stinking liquid beneath him, and he didn't know how it formed and accumulated - but he didn't like the smell, it was like the smell of rotting corpses, the smell of many corpses rotting.

With all his strength, he held his breath and dragged the heavy thing behind him slowly and slowly crawled forward, and the bony arm pressed into the stinky water under him, and he didn't care.

"Squeak...... A huge mouse was frightened and passed in front of him, and those eyes, in this dark environment, emitted a terrifying faint light.

......The mouse startled the boy, but he didn't scream, because if he did, the mission would have failed.

The person who hired him for the job was not very talkative, and if he revealed his fears, he might have to give the money to the other children.

He had to do the job well and quickly, which was important for a poor kid like him.

"Hmm......" He felt like he was about to suffocate, the air was so muddy. Not to mention the smell is terrible, but it is also mixed with a desperate darkness.

However, he remembered the shiny gold coin in his pocket, and if he completed the task this time, he could get the other two......

Here, three gold coins is already a windfall, at least for a poor kid like him!

So, he gritted his teeth and continued to crawl forward, and the huge rat seemed to be no longer so frightening in front of him.

Because he was crawling forward, his elbow was already in unbearable pain because of the frequent bumps. He thought there must be blood there, but there was no way he could stop.

In this small space, he couldn't even turn back, he could only crawl forward and keep climbing......

I don't know when, he saw the light in front of him, this light was simply heaven for him, and his body warmed up for a moment.

So he crawled even harder, because by crawling to the light over there, he could get out of this damn small space, and he could get the other two enticing gold coins!

"Hurry up! Don't grind! "Where the light is, someone's voice is echoing. He crawled desperately, and his whole body became excited.

At this time, the weights tied behind him seemed to be less heavy. Ignoring the foul smell on his face, and ignoring the sharpness of the rubble beneath him, he quickly crawled to the place where the light came.

"Well done." A rubber-gloved hand reached out to him and pulled him out of the small space.

The boy finally saw the light again, and he squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, as if he had been given a new lease of life.

"That's it! You're doing a good job. The man named Tansen threw two gold coins to the boy who was covered with foul-smelling black water, and waved his hand at him in disgust: "Let's go! Let's go! Go take a good shower! ”

The two workers behind him were connecting the various cables that the boy had brought with him, and their job was to run the network cables and cables through the narrow sewers and spread them all over the city.

The sewer works of the Irlanhill Empire were mixed, and in many places they had to rely on very primitive ways to lay all kinds of cables.

In some cities, the pipelines are so small that smaller children have to do the work underground. There are even some children, because of lack of oxygen, who fall into a coma or even die below.

No matter how glamorous this world is, there are still unsatisfactory places in the secret. Even if the Ranhil Empire is strong enough to be subdued by all foreign enemies, there are still places inside where the light does not shine.

"Sir...... I, I can do it again......" The boy covered in stinking water pinched three coins, his face full of anticipation.

“…… Well, you have a good rest here and look for me at the next manhole cover in a few minutes, understand? Tansen pointed to the place where the cable reels were stored in the distance and said to the boy.
