Chapter 4 Why are the sanitation workers here also elderly?
——————————————————————
......
"Chitose-sama?"
Black Tan looked at the black man suspiciously:
"There shouldn't be such a thing as Chitose on this planet, right?"
......
He was taken to the blacksmith's shop.
There are also two dogs, Chisato and Shunfeng.
They wanted to call.
However, the murderous aura that erupted from the black man's body was too strong.
The courage of these two dogs on weekdays was instantly frightened.
But compared to the murderous aura on the black man.
A young man sitting by the stove in the blacksmith's shop.
Sick, looking like he was dying.
His calm is the most terrifying.
It's the end of April.
The weather outside is starting to get hot, and no one is lighting a stove inside the house anymore.
Not to mention sitting by the stove and having a fire.
But the young man was well suited to sitting by the fire.
He didn't look at Black Charcoal.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he frightened the black charcoal:
"Your name is Zheng Si, right?"
The hairs on Black Charcoal's body stood on end again, as terrifying as if facing a great enemy.
The young man continued:
"How long have you been here?"
Black Carbon didn't dare to answer easily.
He needs to think about it.
It takes a little more time to think about how to answer.
Fortunately, Wu Song gave him time to buffer.
"Zheng sigh? How does this cat have a human name? ”
Wu Song asked in surprise, and the young man replied:
"He was a human in his previous life, so naturally he had a name. Now it's a cat, but it's still the soul of that person, so it should be called that. ”
"Chitose Lord, I actually saw this, could it be that your strength ......"
Joy gradually appeared on Wu Song's face, but the young man said calmly:
"Ten soul chains have been broken, although it is still too early to recover the full strength, but you can use some slightly, look at life and death, and look at the means before and after."
The conversation between the two, Hei Tan heard it in a fog, but he understood half of it.
A bold idea even popped up:
"You are also from the ??? Earth"
"I'm from the underworld."
The young man replied, "Where the eighteenth layer of hell is, my current name is Xu Lai, and you can also call me nine thousand years old like him!" ”
Nine thousand years old?
Underworld?
Eighteen Layers of Hell?
Black Tan was in shock, and he didn't relax for a long time.
Chisato and Shunfeng don't know what happened to the black charcoal.
Until they left, Black Carbon still looked distracted.
Until they got on the No. 39 bus again.
After returning to the small courtyard of the East Family District of Chuhua University, his face was better.
"What did the man say?"
"You forgot?"
"What did he say?"
"He said that Wu Song of his family has been busy upgrading recently and has no time to take orders, but he has time and can come in person."
"Oh, when?"
"Tomorrow morning. He heard that our spicy soup here is very delicious in the morning, so he wanted to come and try it. ”
"Well, then you can stay at home tomorrow morning, and I'll go see him myself."
"That man looks so powerful, do you want a few brothers to shake more dogs nearby! Cats! ”
"You also said that the man was very powerful. Very powerful people, no matter how many dogs and cats, they can't deal with it! ”
"Yes...... Then you must be careful tomorrow! ”
"Hmmm......"
......
The next morning.
Black charcoal, which rarely gets up early, got up early today.
At that time, there was not a trace of bright color in the sky.
He quietly walked out of the house.
Because he wasn't sure when the nine-thousand-year-old named Xu Lai would get here.
The man seemed a little frightened, and he didn't dare to let the other party wait for him for a second longer.
In fact.
He was still late.
When his two paws had just arrived at the gate of the small courtyard.
Xu Lai's voice appeared:
"Wake up so early?"
Apparently he had already arrived.
At least the one who arrived earlier than himself.
Black Charcoal turned his head to look at him.
He walked over with a smile on his face.
Squatted down and stroked Black Charcoal's head.
In normal times, black charcoal does not allow others to touch their heads like this.
But this time, it was different, Hei Tan didn't dare to move, because a picture always appeared in his mind: the other party might choke himself by the neck in the next second.
Really.
He tugged at his neck and pulled the black charcoal up.
It was him, though, that put him on his shoulder.
"Lead the way! Where is that delicious Hu spicy soup? ”
Black Carbon stretched out his claws and pointed ahead.
Xu Lai immediately walked forward.
"You haven't answered me yet, how long have you been here?"
"Four years!"
The black charcoal makes a meow meow sound.
But Xu Lai can obviously understand.
"Well, it's been four years...... Looks like you've adapted to life here, right? ”
"It's okay, but there are just a few more aliens. The rest of the place is not much different from Earth. ”
Black Tan let go of his courage and became more talkative.
"It's not a big difference, but it's not small."
Xu Lai pointed:
"There is racism on the planet, whites, yellows, blacks, and there are ...... here as well. It's just a blue star and an alien. One thing hasn't changed. ”
"Which point?"
"Sanitation worker!"
"Sanitation worker?"
Black Tan turned his head to look around, and sure enough, he saw an elderly man cleaning the road next to a garbage can not far away.
Holding a very large broom, he swept the fallen leaves on the road.
Hei Tan looked at it carefully, and the old man didn't seem to be the old man, he was younger or even older.
Gotta call grandpa.
"Eighty?"
Black Carbon guessed.
Xu Lai: "Just ask in the past." ”
Xu came and walked towards the old man with a smile on his face.
Black Carbon frowned.
I was puzzled.
What's there to ask about this kind of thing.
Aren't you here for soup?
What are you doing with all this nonsense?
However, Xu Lai walked up to the old man who was sweeping the floor and asked politely:
"How long do you live?"
"It's not small! Ninety-one years old! ”
The old man who swept the floor replied.
Xu Lai smiled again:
"Well, it's not small. I didn't expect that here, the sanitation workers are still mainly the elderly! ”
"Young people are dirty, that is, we old men and old ladies are willing to do these jobs."
The old man said.
"Aren't you dirty?"
Xu Lai asked.
"If we old men and old ladies are too dirty, who else will sweep the road?"
The old man said.
"Yes."
Xu Lai smiled, but said again:
"But in my hometown, it's not the old man or the old lady who sweeps the streets."
"Who's that? Youngster? That's impossible. ”
"Of course not, those young people are not willing to do this kind of work, no matter what era they are. In my hometown, street sweepers have become robots. ”
"Robots? Then the scientific and technological development of your hometown is amazing! We don't have technology here that fast, but it's better not to be that fast. If it's too soon, we'll lose our jobs......"
"Don't worry! With these aliens, technology will develop very slowly here. ”
It is not even possible to develop any more.
