Chapter 4: The Mysterious Bracelet

Opening the door, Xiao Yun raised his footsteps and stepped in. The entrance is a living room that looks like it has been ransacked, and there is nothing but some old furniture.

The huge wooden cabinet was empty, and there were no other luxurious collectibles on it. The calligraphy and painting on the wall are also exposed ugly nails, and a large blank wall makes the whole living room very incongruous.

A family with a net worth of tens of millions has fallen like this in just a few days. Even these collectibles were sold at a more reasonable price with the help of some of my father's friends.

But that's all there is to the friendship of those friends, and there is nothing deep in the friendship between businessmen. Father Xiao was obviously calculated, and the opponent's power was not small, so they naturally couldn't help too much.

Being able to do this step already has a clear conscience in their hearts.

Xiao Yun threw himself on the sofa, leaning weakly on the backrest, and the shoulder bag slid down the hanging shoulder.

He was tired, not physically, but mentally. If it weren't for Li Shiwen's words, maybe he would have given up on himself, and then one day he would have fallen into a person he didn't know.

Suddenly, Xiao Yun's eyes darkened, his eyes were also covered by a cold touch, and a female voice with a low voice blew in his ear: "Guess who I am?" ”

"Of course, it's my cutest little Ru!" Xiao Yun said.

The immature voice, the delicate and smooth little hands, and the unique fragrance on the body all exposed the identity of the owner of this voice.

What's more, in this once gorgeous building, there are only three residents, a great father and a pair of immature children.

"Brother is a fool! I won't even make a mistake to make Xiaoru happy! The girl took her two small hands away from Xiao Yun's face, and her voice was very complaining.

Xiao Yun turned his head helplessly, and saw the ten-year-old girl behind the sofa with a puffed face, her eyebrows furrowed, as if she wanted to show all the unhappiness on her face in front of him.

Xiao Yun smiled, he stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly on Xiao Ru's forehead, and slowly spoke in the girl's exclamation: "Lying to Xiaoru is such a thing, but it makes my brother very embarrassed." ”

It's just that as soon as he said this, he was refuted by Xiao Ru.

"Brother lies!" Xiao Ru covered her forehead and shouted with wide eyes.

"This is really wronged, when has my brother ever deceived Xiaoru?" Xiao Yun raised his knees onto the sofa and turned his upper body to look at Xiao Ru.

Xiao Ru snorted and stretched out her hand to count: "For example, lied to Xiaoru that eating too much chocolate would make you fat, and deceived Xiaoru's chocolate; If you cry too much, you will be captured by the bad guys; If you have leftovers, you will have pockmarks on your face......"

Seeing that his sister had already used a second hand to accuse the 'crime', Xiao Yun touched his nose: "These are all seven or eight years ago, so they shouldn't be counted!" ”

The only thing Xiao Yun remembered about these 'crimes' was vague, and he didn't have the slightest reflection of most of the crimes, but he didn't expect Xiao Ru to even remember everything when he was two or three years old.

However, Xiao Yun didn't see Xiao Ru's fingers when he looked at them, with a hint of pride on his face. Xiao Ru had long known that her brother's memory was not strong, and it took a lot of time to memorize brief learning knowledge.

"If the things of seven or eight years ago don't count, do the things of a few days ago count? Does what happened last night count? ”

"Something happened to Dad's company, didn't it? The pictures that Dad liked so much were sold because our family had no money, didn't they? My brother was tired last night because he was making money, right? ”

"Dad didn't come home for a few days, not because he was traveling, but because he was in a detention center, right? Sister Shiwen has already told me everything. ”

Looking at the tears that suddenly appeared in his sister's eyes, Xiao Yun was silent, he seemed to have thought too much about it before.

There was such a huge change in the family, his sister was young, in order not to make his sister afraid, he chose to hide it and bear the huge pressure alone, but he didn't expect his sister to see it earlier.

Now think about it, if it weren't for Shiwen telling her sister, her sister might have thought about it in a worse place, and she might be even more scared!

"Brother, don't hide anything from Xiaoru, okay? Xiaoru can also help, let's work together, it will definitely get better. Xiao Ru clasped Xiao Yun's palms with both hands, with pleading in her eyes.

"Brother, don't bear it alone, please be sure to bring Xiaoru's efforts."

Staring at his sister's eyes, the expressions on Xiao Yun's face were very complicated, and these complicated expressions were best turned into a sense of relief.

It turns out that he has never been fighting alone!

Xiao Yun rubbed Xiao Ru's head, and his face once again bloomed with confidence: "Then, the outside will be handed over to my brother, and all the things at home will be handed over to Xiao Ru!" ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Ru nodded vigorously.

……

Xiao Yun walked out of the door, waved his hand at his sister inside the door, and then closed the door. He now needs to go out to make money, at least to survive half a month of his father's absence.

After walking for more than twenty minutes, Xiao Yun came to his destination, a huge garbage disposal site. Big doesn't seem enough to describe it, as this dump is responsible for handling half the county's garbage.

The garbage disposal site operates in a closed mode and is not accessible to the general public.

And the reason why Xiao Yun was able to enter was because the person in charge of this garbage disposal site was a neighbor near Xiao Yun's house.

"Xiaoyun, you're here."

The man who spoke was an old man about 60 years old, dressed in a garbage disposal uniform, sitting on a chair by the gate, and this old man was the neighbor.

"Hmm."

Xiao Yun responded and walked inside, but suddenly stopped after just a few steps.

Then he turned around and bowed to the old man: 'Thank you'.

Although the voice was not very loud, the old man heard the sincerity of these two words, and his somewhat wrinkled face also showed a smile.

"There's nothing to thank, and I can't help either." The old man shook his head and let out a sigh.

Xiao Yun was silent, said thank you again, and then walked inside.

Although this old man only gave Xiao Yun the qualification to enter the garbage disposal site, he helped Xiao Yun a lot, at least he got a source of money from here to make ends meet for two days.

In comparison, those who completely looked down on the Xiao family before they made a fortune, and came to cling to their relatives after making a fortune, are far behind. Now that the Xiao family is down, relatives are even more avoidant like snakes and scorpions, for fear that the Xiao family will go back to the huge red envelopes that were wrapped at the wedding and funeral banquet.

A lot of garbage in the garbage disposal site is actually not low. Because many factories have deep pockets, some valuable waste products are directly treated as garbage because of the trouble to dispose of.

Yesterday, Xiao Yun rummaged in the garbage disposal site for two hours, and the income from the sale of sixty federal coins was earned.

When he was still Xiao Shao, this amount was not as good as a day's pocket money. And now the sixty federal coins are Xiao Yun and Xiao Ru's food expenses for two or three days.

Since it is a garbage disposal site, in addition to some valuable garbage, more of course is worthless garbage, and some domestic garbage is even more stench.

Plastic bags of different colors contain a mixture of household garbage, fruit peels, food packaging bags, bones and fish bones. Among these worthless garbage, waste paper and metal are Xiao Yun's target.

Xiao Yun pushed a small cart and walked in the cracks of the garbage mountains, turning the edge of the huge garbage mountains with the hanger in his hand, and there were already a lot of waste products on his car.

Some scrap books, a pair of rusty scissors, copper rings inside some small power tools......

In addition to these things that are not of high value, Xiao Yun also has an unexpected gain today, a thousand federal coins sandwiched in an old book, Xiao Yun expressed his gratitude to an unknown comrade Guan Yan in his heart.

……

After selling the waste to a waste collection site not far from the dump, Xiao Yun headed home. Compared to before departure, he had more than a thousand federal coins on his body, and a strange bracelet given to him by an old man from the garbage dump.

It is strange because this bracelet was found in a garbage disposal tank.

Sixty years ago, the Confederation invented the means of biodegrading garbage disposal. As the name suggests, it uses a creature called a gold-eating ant to decompose garbage.

Once the garbage is disposed of in the treatment tank, the garbage is devoured by countless finger-sized gold eaters, which are then broken down by some organ in the gold eaters' bodies.

A cubic meter of garbage is broken down into harmless air and some kind of crystal less than a cubic centimeter, and gold-eating ants can decompose most of the garbage, including steel and plastic.

And this unknown bracelet can be undamaged under the gold eater ant, which represents his special feature.

Xiao Yun carefully observed this bracelet, the bracelet was made of metal, and its weight was familiar with copper. The bracelet is engraved with an unknown string of unknown symbols, which makes the bracelet more mysterious.

Home, arrived.
