NO.15 Reminiscences of the past during the march (I)

"I'm sorry to let me go."
A girl's voice with a hint of shyness in her voice came to your ears, and just listening to this voice made a girl's cute face appear in your mind. And when they turned their heads, they saw a fair and round face, a pair of petal-like eyes that looked like slightly dewy flowers, the cheeks were slightly pale pink like new peaches, and the delicate but round and full lips were about to open and stop, everyone would instantly save the voice just now in their minds along with this face.
"Borrow, borrow."
Seeing the gaze of others, the girl gently tapped each pair of eyes one by one with a little playful confusion, and apologized with a slight smile, she did not mind that other people's eyes stayed on her, even if it was to make her some kind of delusion. Apparently she knew where her own strengths were at this age.
Sure enough, a passage slowly opened in the crowd, and everyone retreated slightly to leave a gap just enough for one person to pass through without being so cramped, and of course everyone also maintained a tacit understanding not to widen the passage too widely. The girl kept her smile and calmly passed through the most chaotic and crowded part of the lower town, while the sloppy little girl who followed behind her was unnoticed.
The girl walked through the back streets, through three back alleys, and attracted a lot of attention along the way. No one would think that a girl in a public school uniform should come to this kind of downtown, where only dropouts and ruffians are mixed in, and girls of the same age avoid such places. However, even if there is a young ruffian who wants to go up and see the excitement, he will be immediately stopped by the old fritter here, because those who are familiar with it know that this girl is a frequent visitor to the lower town.
When she arrived at a mechanical assembly shop that looked to be a few years old, a janitor greeted her and opened the door for her.
"Get me a hot towel, you can see what she does." The girl gestured to the girl behind her.
Dahan gave the store a look inside, and he heard the clanging sound and rattling water, and after a while, a fairly clean white towel was handed over to Dahan. The big man's huge hand held the towel and approached the little girl, and she seemed to be frightened and kept hiding back.
"Isn't your face scary?" Seeing the situation, the girl sneered, "Give it to me." She took the towel from the big man and slowly approached the little girl. Come, sister wipe it. But then again, we should be no different, how old are you? She said as she wiped the dirt and blood from the little girl's face. She had just seen the little girl from the outskirts of the lower town, and she had been thrown to the ground and kicked by a group of equally small thugs. Such things are not uncommon in Downtown, either to be caught stealing, or simply to mess with one of them. This kind of place that has been given up by everyone and even yourself, fists are often the last word.
"Sixteen." The little girl said tremblingly.
"Sixteen, isn't that the same as mine?" When the girl cleaned her face, she saw that she was indeed about the same size as herself, but her body seemed to be more than one size smaller than herself because of malnutrition. "Are you an orphan?" The reason for this is that children in orphanages will be evicted if they are not adopted by the age of sixteen. Because there are more or less problems with this kind of child, the kind of service jobs generally do not accept this kind of labor, which also makes the lower town never lack fresh blood.
The little girl nodded. "I didn't steal." She burst out of nowhere, followed by a rumbling sound in her stomach. Seeing this scene, the big man on the side couldn't help but sigh, and then took out a compressed food from the refrigerator at the door and threw it over.
When she got the approval of the people around her, the little girl took off the package and gobbled it up, burping and stuffing it inside. The girl was trying to find water, when the door of the inner room equipped with electricity rang, and a young man with dyed green hair, who looked to be in his twenties, and was dressed in very punk clothes, walked out, and for a while everyone in the store hurriedly stood straight.
Greenfur waved for everyone to continue, then walked to the door. "What's the situation today, you don't want me to raise a child, do you?"
The little girl was taken by the janitor to find water, and the girl turned back to the green hair and said, "It's another homeless person, so I can only rely on you to take care of it." ”
"Hey, I'm almost going to make you a containment station here."
"Who made you a good man in this lower city?"
"Come on."
The two were joking when the little girl suddenly ran over and said, "I want to work, I don't eat for nothing." ”
The girl looked at the little girl's sincere and longing eyes, and felt an inexplicable sense of closeness and trust. "Add another stealth pod."
"What? Miss, take it easy, what can such a child do in the past? I'm a small business, and I really can't do your charity. ”
"Pull it down, who doesn't know that you are one of the seven snakes in this lower city?" The girl walked up to Greenfur and grabbed him by the shoulder with one hand, then leaned into his ear. "This list is on my head. Then tell you that those users who have not registered a legal address will go to the online to check people at 11 o'clock tomorrow night, and the relevant flow will also be checked, and they will all be smart. After saying that, she returned to her original appearance. Isn't a stealth chamber easy for you? ”
Green Hair rubbed his ears that had just been blown red by the breath of words, "Eh, if you want to settle in Xiacheng, then what else is going on with us?" After saying that, he took out a bunch of keys from his waist and took out one and threw it to the girl. Bingyin Lane 331, the gatekeeper knows you. ”
The girl quickly took the little girl to the location, "331" is an abandoned warehouse. When a few thugs who were drinking and playing cards at the door saw her coming, they hurriedly got up and asked the green hair if he had any orders, and then they worked together to push open the heavy iron door for the girl. The inside of the iron door was dark and dark, and various mechanical parts were stored, and only a few dilapidated windows on the second floor could be seen outside, emitting a faint blue light. As the group was about to enter the warehouse, the girl noticed that the little girl's steps were hesitating.
She turned around and said, "Didn't you just say you wanted to find a job?" If you feel that the conditions are poor, you can also quit it, after all, this is not a serious job, and my ability is limited. It's just that I don't come to places like Xiacheng in the future, after all, I don't be there every day. ”
The little girl hesitated, clenched her fists and replied, "Just take care of the food." ”
The girl laughed out loud, "Not only do you take care of the food, but you can also control it, and you can play with these brothers when you are bored." Don't look at them every day, they don't have a proper shape, but they have some skills to make girls happy. As soon as she said this, several delinquent teenagers with dyed colorful hair smiled a little shyly, and some nodded vigorously.
Seeing this scene, the little girl's strange sense of fear began to slowly dissipate. "Well, what the hell am I going to do?"
"It's not hard to work, it's just to play games."
"Playing games?"
Seeing that the little girl was surprised, the girl explained: "People here who have some skills are going to play games." Those who go over there to fight for others, play equipment, and do cultivation or something, they can get paid, and that green hair is specialized in this. But you're not working for him, you're working for me. ”
"You're my boss?"
"It's not the boss, how can I say it, the client...... No, not quite the right hiring. I will feed you and shelter you, and you will work for me, and you should belong to the retainers. That's right, the retainer is a good name. I am your lord, and you are my retainers. ”
The little girl obviously didn't know what the girl was talking about, she just nodded in response.
"What I want you to do is to protect a person in a game called "Divide and Close". This person is my brother, although he is very powerful, ordinary people can't get close to him, but he still has a weakness, a girl he likes. ”
"So what am I going to do?"
"Don't do anything, follow this girl first. If the situation changes, I will tell you my decision. In a moment, you will try the stealth chamber and get familiar with the game. When you've figured it out, I'll figure out how to get you close to that girl. ”
"Am I going to do something really bad if I need to?"
"Do you think I look like a bad person?" The girl smiled and said, "It's just to protect my brother, do you need to do anything bad?" ”
The little girl nodded, "Well, can I know what your name is?" ”
"yes, I forgot to mention it all the way, my name is Zhong Min. If you want to have trouble in Xiacheng in the future, you can mention my name. ”
"That, my name is Mo Huan, and the teacher said that when he picked me up, the note said 'Mo Huan'."

The autumn breeze was bleak, and for some reason, along the way, Mo Huan's mind always came to mind the scene when she and Zhong Min first met. Zhong Min is Zhong Li's younger sister, and the girl she said is naturally Yuan Xian. After that, she quickly became familiar with the world, and then was introduced to Shuoguo, and soon she became Yuan Xian's deputy general with her eye-catching military exploits.
After that, Zhong Min didn't make any special requests to her, just let her enjoy every day, and the other thing was to improve the relationship with Yuan Xian. This kind of life is undoubtedly a luxury for a person who has not known who his parents have since he was a child, who has not received much attention in the orphanage, and who is almost in a place like Xiacheng where there are only abandoned buildings, fierce scum, and wild cats, mad dogs, rats, and bed bugs. In addition, she suddenly found that what she was doing was being noticed by others, and that she was comforted when she lost and praised when she succeeded, an experience she had never experienced in her life so far, and she understood more and more that she was not alone in this world.
Of course, even if she thinks Shuo Guo is a home for her, what she really cares about is Zhong Min. Zhong Min would visit her in Xiacheng every once in a while, bringing her favorite red bean paste bread, as well as high-end ingredients such as bluefin tuna, king crab and sturgeon caviar, and telling her about places she hadn't been to and things she hadn't seen.
In fact, it is not only her, but many orphans in Xiacheng regard Zhong Min as a godmother, even though she is only a sixteen-year-old girl.
The repetitive sound of the waves and the constant westerly wind made her lose the sense of the passage of time, and when she looked up, the stone walls and wooden watchtowers appeared in her vision. Looking back at the army that stretched for miles and the red Panlong Banner that had been pulled by the west wind, a strong feeling of excitement and nervousness suddenly came over me like a tidal wave.
"This is it." Mo Huan secretly clenched his fists, "I'm also a general under General Yuan's account." ”
