During the installation process, Jim had already explained the function of this thing to the two friends according to his own cognition, and at this time, in the face of this reply, Jim, Xiaoshan and Bai Yang looked at each other, and always felt that something was strange. I read the simple definitions of the words maid and water heater and information center in the dictionary several times, but I still can't understand what this call back means.

Send: Is it Lord Jiao Ming?

Re: If you have important information, you can apply for a transfer to Master Jiao Ming, and in addition, please read the text behind the installation instructions carefully.

In the face of this not a short sentence, by the faint light of the telegraph indicator, Jim flipped through the dictionary again, and finally made out the meaning. Then I took the installation diagram of the telegraph, and sure enough, I found that there was a large section of lingua franca on the last fold, and I immediately wanted to die. In this irritable moment, but listening to Xiaoshan shouting in a rough voice that he was hungry, Jim suddenly sighed and changed his thinking to belly plan.

However, Jim soon realized the seriousness of the problem, it was a celebration and it was already dark, and there was no food to steal in the entire slum. Due to the closure of the small stone door, the three of them had to get out of the small air window, detour to the main entrance of the small building, and sure enough, they saw the corpse of the 'God's Pet Beast' lying there untouched, even if the casualties of the attack on the city just happened were not counted, but because of the teachings, at least in the slums, no one dared to disrespect it, let alone cut some meat and eat it.

Jim glanced around, the cold wind was howling in the winter night, and of course there were no people and ghosts, after all, the slums were full of food and clothing, and it was impossible for anyone to walk idle. With a pop, he pulled out the short blade from his waist, Jim followed the dim starlight to the corpse, and just wanted to start work, but his wrist was pulled, and Bai Yang's slightly trembling voice sounded in his ears, and he didn't know if it was frozen or nervous because of violating the scriptures, "This is the god's pet beast......"

Jim frowned slightly, but still said softly: "It's okay, believe me, as long as you make great contributions to God in the future, God won't care about this little thing." ”

Feeling the force at his wrist loosen slightly, he broke away with a slight force, and stabbed a knife into the elbow joint of the front leg of the god's pet beast, but found that the flesh of this thing was quite tough, and the handle of both hands was still not moving. Helplessly pulled up the hill and Bai Yang together, and it took the three of them a long time to remove a front leg, but fortunately, there was no blood splattering for most of the day. At this point, Jim slightly regretted that he didn't choose the two contracts of power and spatial rift slashing.

Then the three of them walked around the neighborhood twice in the dark, got some combustibles and returned to the semi-basement, roasted their front legs half-baked, and cut them with knives to eat, but found that they couldn't chew it at all, and could only swallow it with the small black fruit on the wall. Xiaoshan lay down and fell asleep without heart or lungs, but Bai Yang grabbed Jim, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Jim felt helpless, and guessed that Bai Yang was still struggling with the matter of scriptures and teachings, put his hands on the little girl's thin shoulders, and said softly: "If you have any doubts, say it, it's not good to hold it in your heart." Remember that we are the best partners, and I will not harm you or allow others to hurt you. Remember what I said yesterday, God loves us, it's only the problems of the church that make our lives so bad, and even if our plans fail and we go to Hell, I'm going to stand in front of you and never let you get a spark until I burn me to death. ”

Jim is careful to use 'hurt you' rather than 'lie to you', because these words are essentially deception. The faith in his heart had long been shaky, and finally collapsed this afternoon, but at night he had to use this set of theories to talk to his loved ones, and for the first time he felt a sense of absurdity in his heart, and at the same time he was glad that he didn't have to care about his expression in this dim environment, after all, it was already his best to keep his voice sincere and not laughing.

"I believe you, it's just that Lord Jiao Ming, those guys are heretics after all, so it's better to have less contact. ”

Feeling that Bai Yang's body was no longer trembling due to uneasiness, Jim finally breathed a sigh of relief, understood that it was temporarily closed, and accepted this suggestion very happily and thanked him, and then said, "I'll study these things again, will you accompany me?"

"Can I help?" Bai Yang's voice became cheerful.

"Shake this. Jim pointed to the handle of the telegraph, ready to begin learning the lingua franca by the faint light of its indicator light.

......

The next day, at Jim's reminder, the three of them changed back into their usual old clothes, climbed out of the small windows, and wandered around the slums, half looking for food and half inquiring, curious about what had happened at the festival they had missed yesterday. At noon, a half-green junior priest took four god guards to remove the corpse of the god's pet beast, and Jim, because he was apprehensive, chose to watch from a distance like a novice thief, and noticed that the junior priest was muttering for a long time at the two front legs with a huge difference in the fracture.

And what happened next almost didn't scare Jim into peeing his pants. The marks of the three and a half children cutting off their front legs last night were too obvious to indicate that someone in the slum had broken the precepts, and the junior priest did not seem to intend to let this matter go, and quickly imposed martial law on several main entrances and exits of the slum and began to hold down passers-by and torture them.

However, the follow-up plot makes Jim rejoice and delight and ponder at the same time. The lower-level priest and the god guards quickly rushed to Lai Pihu's lair, and without saying anything, they decided that Lai Pihu was the first offender who offended the corpse of the god's pet beast, and deprived Lai Pihu and several backbones of the ability to shout with a few punches and kicks, and then began to raid the house.

Jim watched as something was brought out in the name of confiscation of stolen goods and the corners of the lower priest's mouth turned up slightly, and finally understood.

If it was Jim in the past, of course, he would not have the courage to steal the pet beast of the gods, and seeing the excitement of today, he would only think that Lai Pihu deserved the crime of violating the precepts, although he would not applaud the priest who upheld justice, but he would also have reduced some negative impressions in his heart. At this point, however, Jim saw something deeper, and it was undoubtedly a demonstration of how to use doctrine to achieve a goal.

If this low-level pastor is really pious and wants to catch the real culprit, there are many links that can find suspicions, and he can also rely on the innocence of Pihu's 'matter'. But this is not the case, on the contrary, this adult is perfunctory in many aspects and even deliberately speeds up the process of handling the case, apparently to avoid complications. After removing the doctrinal factor, Jim quickly thought of three possible factors, the first being personal enmity, the second being profit, and the third being idleness, like a hill of ants.

Jim wasn't interested in inquiring about personal vendettas, and the third might not have the need to think about it, only interests could be discussed. First of all, rat legs are also meat, from the laipihu's nest, how much can you scrape some small property, and who would be afraid of more money, even if it is distributed to subordinates to win people's hearts, it is a vain profit, why not. Secondly, to add the name of piety, and to picket the blasphemers in the slums for the sake of the half-legged beast of God's pet beast is also more or less a boastful talking point. In the end, it can even leave the impression of the boss neatly and increase the promotion qualifications.

As for the life of a gangster like Lai Pihu, no one cares, and he doesn't even have to deal with it. After all, it is to subdue his subordinates by violence, and there are disgruntled people everywhere in the slums, and after being beaten and half-disabled, I believe that without waiting for the sun to set, the corpse of this old gangster who has been beautiful for many years will appear in a stinky ditch somewhere.

Thinking of this, Jim shook his head, and the image of the priest completely collapsed after the doctrinal scriptures. However, his thoughts soon shifted to his own future, and the disappearance of Lai Pihu would inevitably cause chaos in the slums, and it was of course a way to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and control a small block, and then completely sit in the original position of Lai Pihu.

However, even if he didn't know the phrase 'there is no excuse for the sin that he wants', Jim had already realized three of the flavors from Lai Pihu's unclear ending, and he hesitated. And when the junior pastor returned home and left the slums, Jim still hadn't found a better way forward, and in the end he only set the immediate goal of controlling a small block.

At dusk, the temperature begins to drop, and when the bell rings three times, the cold night falls. Three and a half children sit around the semi-basement, eating a mess of food and sharing what they have heard. After Jim finished telling about Lai Pihu, Bai Yang recounted the attack that took place yesterday at the main city festival.

At first, everything was normal in the celebration, but when the holy relics appeared and all the people knelt down, a large group of gods' pet beasts suddenly flew into the sky. The crowd didn't care, and some even thought it was a good omen, but when they got closer, they realized that there was a rider sitting on it, and then suddenly something was wrong, but because of the doctrine, the priests were just on guard and did not take the lead. And when the leader rushed straight to the holy relic, he did not hide the intention of snatching, and the conflict suddenly broke out in full force, not to mention all kinds of magic flying all over the sky, and the crowd of kneeling worshippers also rampaged like a nest to survive. Under the chaos, countless people were killed by the gods' pet beasts, accidentally injured by the priest's divine magic, and even trampled on them.

Jim and Bai Yang finished talking about what they had seen, looked at the hill together, and after the expected shaking of the head appeared, the small meeting moved on to the next part: looking forward to the future. Jim put his worries and plans out of the way, and it was unanimously approved, and by the way, Xiaoshan asked, "You can sleep." ”

Jim was speechless for a while, waved his hand, said goodnight, and saw that Bai Yang's eyelids were also heavy, and persuaded: "You go to sleep too, I'll come here by myself." Bai Yang shook his head, climbed out of the small window and rubbed his face with the blackened snow, and then shook the handle of the telegraph machine as he had done yesterday. Jim's heart warmed, thanked him, and read the book in peace.

Time passed silently, until the middle of the night, when the sound of shouting and running suddenly came from outside the stingy window. Jim immediately covered the telegraph light with his book, went under the small window, and listened intently. A few fled and scolded the pursuers for being unrighteous, and the latter had recounted the misdeeds of the Tiger, and although only a few words were heard, it was enough for Jim to figure out the situation, and the chaos in the slums had begun.

Over the next few days, fist and foot fighting intensified in the slums, and every morning, corpses were found in the streets, male or female, bleeding or with severed heads, and of course, freezing to death. There were even faces from other slums in the vicinity, and these people were even more unscrupulous, smashing, looting, and burning, and even went to the orphanage for a walk, and then went home to avoid the limelight with a comfortable face.

Of course, during this period, some people also found the empty house above the vine circle, and unceremoniously occupied the magpie's nest, but before Jim and the three of them discussed countermeasures, this group of people was grabbed and killed, and they did not know where to go. The three of them just disguised the entrance of the small stone gate and closed the gate, and continued to wait for the opportunity.

Due to the chaos on the streets, Jim decides to spend less time going out and more time learning the lingua franca, and when Hill cries out that he is hungry, he asks the little maid at the 'service center' on a telegraph if the water heater can deliver some food. And the result was quite unexpected, and I actually received a positive reply.

After a while, a wooden box the size of a stone pier appeared in the middle of the room, and inside it was actually a hot meal. The three children were overjoyed and feasted, and Jim remembered to ask what the price was. After some tossing, I finally figured out that the other party actually wanted information here, and emphasized that there was no limit, there was no need to venture to spy on it, and anything could be heard from the street gossip, and even the price of daily dishes could be cited for example.

Jim was surprised and pondered the deep meaning, and Bai Yang, after making sure that this was not against the teachings, urged Jim to agree, his eyes were full of phantom of chicken legs, and he completely forgot whether he was a heretic or not. Jim shook his head, and simply wrote out the recent brawl in the slums, reluctantly translated it into lingua franca, and sent it, but the reply was: Sorry I don't understand, please make sure there are no spelling mistakes and send it again.

Jim nearly choked to death with saliva, and for the first time in memory of facing the strange mixture of contempt and surprise from Bai Yang, this is usually the treatment that only Koyama has when he is stupid.

"It's not easy to learn so many lingua franca in a few days. Jim grabbed his hair and argued, "Why don't you learn it too?" ”

"That's exactly what I mean!" Bai Yang nodded, then pulled over the hill, patted the telegraph and said, "You are also together, if Jim and I have an accident, you can rely on this thing to eat." ”

The three of them had a discussion process together, and the learning efficiency was much higher than that of self-study. Unexpectedly, Bai Yang seems to have some talent in memory, memorizing words quickly and firmly, but even if this individual item is strong, it is still not as fast as Jim's learning speed overall. As for Xiaoshan, the shadows of the two of them are invisible, and they are still wandering around the capitalization and floral writing of more than 30 letters for a few days.

And when Xiaoshan finally solves the alphabet problem under the threat of hunger, the chaos outside gradually subsides. The three of them put down their books, picked up daggers and short knives, and first easily incorporated the two technicians hiding upstairs, and then directly divided the three nearby streets into spheres of influence, and after hacking to death two gangsters who came to test with their eyes intact, they could be regarded as standing on their feet.
