The town of Long Vine is located in the heart of the entire peninsula of Crocodile Territory, and the distance from Sardinia City is not far from the map. On the eve of the autumn harvest celebration, everyone took a floating airship, which was only about half an hour away.

But after all, it is to fly in the sky in the latest floating airship, and to run on the ground instead, but there are many problems. The first is that the road is not straight, the second is to avoid pedestrians and vehicles, and finally to eat, drink and lazar.

Therefore, the "autumn tour" team of more than 100 years set off in the afternoon and came to Sardinia until midnight. This speed is far superior to ordinary people walking or even mules and horses, but for the five-ring water demon warriors, it is much worse. But fortunately, Jiao Ming was able to take care of Luohua relatively easily, and his machismo was quite satisfied.

And Sardinia City, on the other hand, has received the news through the telegraph system. In the aristocratic quarter, that is, at the entrance to the road of the mountain bag, several people dressed as servants held lanterns, and from the state of forbearance and sleepiness, it was obvious that they had been waiting for a long time.

Needless to say, everyone went into the arranged room to rest, Jiao Ming and Chunyu talked nonsense with a crocodile family steward who was in charge of the reception, and then they each washed up and fell asleep.

After breakfast the next day, a group of impatient teenagers were released. Jiao Ming used the vine teleportation circle here in Sardinia City to teleport the rotten fingers, and instructed Luohua to take him to the security department to find Sk and find the slave trader.

And Jiao Ming followed the spring rain to make some necessary visits. Specifically, it is the three eight-ring water system magic warriors who are stationed here in rotation. One was in the aristocratic area, and Jiao Ming was convinced at a glance that this was Chunyu's close uncle, and his pockmarked figure was quite a signboard. The second was supposed to be in the port area, but unfortunately there was no one. I heard that it was due to boredom, so I went to the forest to hunt game. After all, this visit is just a matter of etiquette, and there is nothing serious, so the two of them please convey their greetings and leave.

The last one was supposed to be in the emergency department of the hospital in Sardinia City, but the two of them were in the air again. After a little inquiry with the director of the department, this Bahuan was not greedy to skip work with the previous one, but was kind and went to the slum for free treatment. The two looked at each other, and had to deal with it as above.

And when the director of the department wanted to talk, Jiao Ming always felt that the name of this Bahuan was familiar: Ms. Huang Ye. When I got out of this small and medium-sized hospital, I suddenly clapped my hands, remembering that this lady Huang Ye was the injured person she saw in the northern castle when she first came to the crocodile collar. Specifically, he was seriously injured by the nine rings of the Qi system of the Xu Qin people, but unfortunately, it was not delayed until the return of the crocodile duke.

"What are you doing to scare people?" Chunyu exclaimed angrily.

"Sister, you are so bold, I can't scare you if I'm tired. Jiao Ming replied with a smile, and then told the truth of the matter.

"I see. Since you know each other, why don't you visit the slums. ”

"It's okay, it's idle anyway. ”

"I just like your honest nature. Chunyu smiled, appreciating this somewhat rude statement. You must know that the world's strongest are respected, and the Eighth Ring is already comparable to the 'county magistrate' or even the 'district magistrate', and although Jiao Ming's background is very hard, his own six rings are a fact, even if it is a very promising 'second generation', theoretically it can't be so big or small.

"How can this be regarded as 'telling the truth', it should be because I know you too well, so the truth is revealed. ”

"Don't get close to me. I'm the one who has a husband, and two, we can't do it. ”

Chunyu joked without hesitation, but Jiao Ming had a black line on his face. Sure enough, once women in their thirties can let go, they are almost invincible in terms of jokes. In desperation, Jiao Ming had no choice but to beg for mercy and change the topic. The two of them chatted about some miscellaneous matters like sisters and brothers, occasionally quarrelling, and after a while they were out of the confines of Sardinia City.

“...... Wait, aren't we going to the slums?"

"This is the way to the slums. ”

"But I remember that the slum was over there, and it had been converted into a residential area......"

Chunyu waved his hand and interrupted impatiently. "You're self-righteous again. Slums exist because of slums, and these people who can't afford to buy a house can only build their own shacks on the outskirts of Sardinia City and make the surrounding area a new slum. ”

"No, is there something wrong with our employment policy?" In Jiao Ming's mind, a person with a stable job should be willing to spend part of his salary to improve his living standards. According to the information given by Binglian, the renovated residential community is also facing ordinary people, although all kinds of equipment are simple and simple, the housing prices and rents are really cheap.

"It's already good. But there are always some weak laborers, or new outsiders, and others who don't want to work seriously. ”

"Like our goal?"

"Correct. ”

After a few words, the slum was in sight. It's still a familiar 'architectural style', if it's a tattered one. However, it is slightly different from the slums common in the southern world, that is, it is a sparse wood, and the shacks are built with tree trunks, and the open door can be seen to be covered with thick dead leaves, and the bare appearance of the trees in late autumn is a perfect blend of natural decay and human gloom.

Jiao Ming squinted his eyes and observed carefully, and sure enough, he saw a crowd gathering in the forest, and a vaguely familiar figure in the center. "What is the top management thinking about this piece?"

"It's simple. Those who can't work are released, those who can work are slowly absorbed, and the others are cleaned regularly. ”

For those weak laborers, Jiao Ming secretly had an idea in his heart, and at the same time asked: "Regular? Can't it be solved at one time?"

"If you think about where these people come from, you don't ask such stupid questions. ”

"Smuggling?" Jiao Ming exclaimed, seeing that Chunyu didn't understand this translated word, he explained a few words in detail.

"We don't have a passport system here, and we can't search for prohibited goods enough, we don't have the extra manpower to identify or track every passenger, and we need a population, so we choose to let it go.

So it's not bad to hear or see that many people in the southern world who can't get along, even sailors, choose to settle in Sardinia City. Those who have savings choose to rent or buy a house, and those who have no money mix with those unscrupulous elements and live here temporarily. We are also happy to have population. ”

After Chunyu explained, the two finally stepped into this new slum and went straight to the center of the crowd according to what they saw from afar. Jiao Ming smelled the stronger and stronger familiar smell, and shook his head secretly, but he also controlled the urge to fan his mouth and nose. The people around can distinguish the benefits and disadvantages only from their clothes, and no one dares to come up to talk, and obediently separate to make a way

"Hello, Ms. Huang Ye. ”

"Oh, you two little ones can find it here. Ms. Huang Ye was slightly surprised, and then there was a kind smile characteristic of middle-aged and elderly women. The treatment on her hands did not stop, and a middle-aged man dressed as a sailor in front of her, the ulcers on her feet slowly returned to normal.

Chunyu naturally greeted politely, Jiao Ming smiled and nodded in agreement, and at the same time looked at this Bahuan. The original memory is quite clear, and the appearance is first confirmed, and then compared before and after six years, I have to sigh that the years are ruthless. At the beginning, she was a healthy middle-aged woman, but at this time she was already obviously old, not to mention the furrows on her face, and even had an obvious age spot on her wrist.

“...... Look at my memory, and forget things when I talk about it. Let me introduce you......" Ms. Huang Ye said, waving her hand to signal the sailor man to leave, and then pulled out a little boy of about eight or nine years old from behind her. "This is my newly adopted son, Green Leaf. This is Chunyu, and this is Jiao Ming. Call aunt, uncle. ”

The little boy was dressed in simple aristocratic clothes, and his hair was gray-green, and there was no doubt that he was a foreign immigrant, so it should be said that the crocodile collar name was derived from his hair color. I saw that he was not afraid to stare at the two of them with big eyes, first saluted, and then said word by word: "Auntie, uncle, hello." ”

Jiao Ming lowered his head and showed a kind smile, looked carefully and sent the candy out as a greeting gift. Seeing this, Chunyu put his elbow on Jiao Ming's side and signaled with his eyes. Jiao Ming gasped, and had no choice but to teleport the candy again and secretly handed it to Chunyu, who handed it over as her own share.

"Hehe, Chunyu, you girl still likes to bully others. I remember that there was a boy named Zimang, but he was bullied by you and almost fell into the dung pit. ”

"Look at what you're talking about, it's just a joke. Isn't it?" said Chunyu with a smile and asked Jiao Ming for confirmation. And the latter could just nod, and secretly decided to ask Huang Xia Zimang and the brothers when he had time.

"I'm relieved to see you like this. At the beginning, because of your business, your family and the crocodile family ...... Ahem, I'm a broken mouth, and I'm talking to you about this. Ms. Huang Ye stopped in time and changed the topic: "Have the other two Bahuan visited?"

Chunyu obviously didn't want to talk about those old things, so he replied with a smile as if he hadn't heard it: "My uncle has already seen it, and the one who 'deserted' like you, so we will come to see you first." ”

"I'm not leaving my post without permission, these poor people need me more than the ones who send them to the hospital, do they?"

Jiao Ming thought for a while and said, "That's true, but even if the crocodile leads everyone's mercy together, it can't feed the endless stream of poor people, what they need more is the means to support themselves." ”

The spring rain once again elbowed over. "It's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, this is true, but you don't always have to take it out to say whether it's good or not. We're just chatting, not taking your ideological and political lessons. ”

Jiao Ming's words obviously had a rebuttal meaning, and the intention of Chunyu to interrupt was even more obvious, Ms. Huang Ye saw it in her eyes, she was not annoyed or broken, she just greeted the next patient, and said with a smile: "When I first saw you in the Northern Castle, I thought you were special, but in fact, you seem to be even more special than I imagined." Can't live on other people's pity, huh...... It seems to make sense, but that's all for you to worry about. I just want to do something to make myself happy right now. ”

In fact, as soon as the words came out, Jiao Ming felt reckless, but fortunately, this one didn't care. Scratch your hair, apologize and show that you just feel it. Chunyu gaged a few more words, briefly revealed the matter, and led the topic to talk about some family things, and then said goodbye and left.

"You're really not too big or small, just now I almost thought that the crazy or non-talkative one came out. It's a shame that I'm resourceful. You've got to show that, right?"

"I'm sorry. Lunch I please. ”

"It was originally you who pleased. That's not what counts. ”

"How about letting Xiaoshi make you the best prosthetic?"

"It won't take long for it to grow, not badly. ”

After Chunyu explained, the two finally stepped into this new slum and went straight to the center of the crowd according to what they saw from afar. Jiao Ming smelled the stronger and stronger familiar smell, and shook his head secretly, but he also controlled the urge to fan his mouth and nose. The people around can distinguish the benefits and disadvantages only from their clothes, and no one dares to come up to talk, and obediently separate to make a way
