Section 7 Existence (5)
On the weekend, Bai Chen was ready to "go to work".
- In front of me are all kinds of cardboard boxes, large and small, wide, narrow, fat, thin.
The old town is in a similar situation as the school, most of the things are "very old", and even in some cases the transportation has to rely on manpower-
After all...... These people simply can't afford to repair robots, and for price reasons, they would rather spend more money on hiring part-time workers.
However, Bai Chen remembered that the reason why this boss didn't want to spend money was not because he couldn't afford the robot's money - he gritted his teeth and won it, and it could be regarded as an investment in more than ten years. But I heard that the boss's wife and the profiteer who sold robots ran away, so the matter was over, and it became the boss's heart disease.
…… That's off-topic.
"Xiao Chen, move these back and rest at noon!" At this moment, a staff member looked up from the box.
Bai Chen answered, walked over to take a look, and found that behind the not too excessive quantifier of "these", the cardboard boxes were stacked at least three as tall as her.
But she didn't say anything, and behind her attitude was the hard work of the people at the bottom...... No, she's actually quite capable of that, so I won't say anything else.
Due to the constraints of some labor laws and regulations, Bai Chen can choose not many part-time jobs, most of them are this kind of real "brick moving" work, and the salary is measured in days.
To be honest, there are very few people who do this kind of work, taking Bai Chen's house as an example, when she came to find the person in charge, the person in charge was lying at the door with a fan in his hand, and when she saw Bai Chen coming to ask "Is there a job", although she suspected that the little girl was running to the wrong place, but she really couldn't recruit someone and took her to see the boss....
Bai Chen even suspected that they were already short of people, as long as they were not lizardmen or alien warriors, they could accept it.
Although the boss is still a very principled person - Bai Chenshang remembers that after hearing about his intentions, his expression was calm, and he seriously insisted that he would not hire minors and little girls.
As a result, the "underage" and "little girl" were expressionless and lifted up two boxes full of beer.
At that time, the boss was about to cry in fright, and nodded repeatedly while holding the staff's legs.
……
Half an hour later, Bai Chen moved the carton to the designated position in silence. With that done, she patted her clothes, pulled out a hat that hung aside, put it on, and decided to go to lunch.
There's a small restaurant nearby, and the owner is not there all year round, but the helpers like to show off their fried pink flavor with a loud voice.
She remembers a lot of little things about a lot of people, and everything is very vivid. But she wasn't quite sure what the use of remembering such a thing was—the value of the question was like remembering what color slippers the big man wore every day.
She had just taken two steps when she found herself at the mouth of the alley......
Lying a man.
Bai Chen paused, narrowed his eyes, a petite figure, fell to the ground and was dying.
She walked over, crouched down beside the figure, and began to recall the first aid in her mind.
It was also at this time that she felt that the world "flashed".
To be precise, for a moment, the colors of the world quickly switched between black and white and normal—Bai Chen had never seen this happening, and his movements paused. The world became black and white, which only made Bai Chen think of the world of ashes - stepping into it was like falling into a world without color, and he couldn't break free at all.
But Bai Chen didn't think that there was such a ...... Halfway through the appearance, holding back the world of ashes that is not fully displayed?
One foot stepped in, but it didn't actually go in.
"Hello ......" Just when she was puzzled, the man who had fallen to the ground and was dying woke up, weakly holding his hands on the concrete floor, and looked up at her helplessly—
A little girl who looked to be about ten years old, although her face was pale, but her big eyes were very attentive - at this time, she was looking at Bai Chen with these big eyes, flashing light.
"Are you alright?" Bai Chen was slightly stunned by her looking at her, and the hand that was originally stretched out to help her was changed to help her.
"It's okay...... the little girl shook her head, but as soon as she spoke, her face turned a little paler.
It doesn't look like it's okay.
Bai Chen was silent for a moment: "Is there anything you need help with?" ”
"Hmm......" The little girl pursed her lips, and after thinking carefully, she bent her eyes and showed a smile, innocent, "Send me back to my brother...... Thank you, sister. ”
Bai Chen thought that this situation should send people to the hospital—but even though the little girl's eyes were innocent and pure, they also exuded an indescribable stubbornness.
She didn't say a word, nodded, and pulled the little girl up.
- Bai Chen was stunned again when pulling people, because the little girl was too light, just a little hard, she stood up lightly.
For a moment, she thought the little girl looked like a balloon, or a piece of paper.
"My name is Jiajia." Jiajia didn't care, hugged one of Bai Chen's arms, and asked in a low voice, "Sister......"
"Bai Chen." Bai Chen said simply.
Jiajia squinted and smiled, and then pointed in a certain direction: "I'm sorry, I ran out without permission...... My brother would be worried about me if he knew. ”
Then why are you running out.
Bai Chen didn't know where he came from, but he felt that something was wrong. But she was born with a lack of tendon in her brain in this regard, so she didn't pay much attention to it, and followed the direction she pointed.
In addition to having no strength on her body, Jiajia is like a normal little girl, and even hums softly.
But around a corner, the world turned black and white again, and this time the change lasted for at least three seconds—Bai Chen stood still suddenly.
"What's wrong...... Sister Bai Chen? The little girl sensed that something was wrong with her and looked up and asked.
By that time, the world had changed back to its normal appearance, and the little girl's face was white and transparent in the sun.
“…… It's nothing. ”
Bai Chen replied and continued to walk forward.
"I'm so trying to run around, but...... I can't run far every time. I'm too weak. As she walked, Jiajia suddenly said, "The world is too dangerous." ”
Bai Chen didn't speak.
I don't know how to answer, this question is like a secondary two teenager saying "This world should be guarded by me!" "It's the same - there's no way to answer that!
The little girl didn't speak anymore - she was humming, Hisaishi's piano song "My Neighbor Totoro", and the whole person exuded the fragrance of pastoral freshness, not the feeling of some middle and second disease.
This made Bai Chen a little in a trance.
"It's here." Five minutes later, the little girl spoke—it was not a long journey, and it was clear that she really couldn't go far every time.
In front of me is an old residence, slightly better than Bai Chen's residence, a "hardware store from this rice" sign is very conspicuous, but the words are basically faded.
Before Bai Chen could ask for the specific location, a person had already shouted Jiajia's name and rushed out of the residence-
Be......
Silent.
Bai Chen: "......"
Shen Mo, who had changed into a yellowed white shirt, turned around sharply and saw Jiajia holding Bai Chen's arm, and was stunned before stepping forward without saying a word.
"Brother, I'm fine." Jiajia was still holding Bai Chen's arm and comforting Shen Mo in a low voice.
Shen Mo squatted down in front of Jiajia, looking worried, with sweat on his forehead, and said hurriedly: "You know it...... Don't do that next time. ”
"Okay." Jiajia promised him and held out her hand to him.
So Shen Mo took her by the hand, looking relieved.
"Thank you, she likes to run around, I don't even know it sometimes......" He stood up, only to see Bai Chen who was standing, and then realized that Jiajia was sent back, and his tone was grateful.
It sounds a lot more normal than the previous roar.
Bai Chen silently lowered the hat that covered half of his face.
The silent expression changed instantly: "It's you?!" "Pen Fun Library .
