Four- Ji Yuehua and his close neighbors

Walking back to the street where she belonged from the maid café didn't take long for Ji Yuehua.

The Republic of Sounivia, as the United Nations for all mankind and the only country on this continent, is actually not very large. With a population of nearly 400 to 500 million, the country is divided into only about 100 districts, covering four-fifths of the entire continent.

Strictly speaking, even if you describe this as a large island, you can't say that this statement is completely wrong.

As for the rest of the countries overseas? Are there any human beings living overseas?

Even academics and even governments cannot answer these questions.

The only thing people know is that on the other side of the horizon, there are occasional hordes, and sometimes even overwhelming, of alien creatures called "Calamity" by the government. They sometimes resemble tigers, sometimes wolves, sometimes a mixture of different animals, but more often than not, they resemble insects.

It has been hundreds of years since the people of this continent first worked in silos, and then formed a coalition government of all mankind to resist these alien creatures that came out of nowhere.

During this period, it is difficult to count how many people have died in the mouths of these insect-like creatures, and how many times they have come to fight battles large and small.

However, the status quo mentioned above has been greatly improved when the current president, Yakumo Zi, was still serving in the military department.

At the suggestion of the former General Staff of the Military Department, the then Military Marshal Yakumo Zi took a big gamble, used one of the fleets as a lure for the enemy, waited for a large number of alien creatures to go deep into the inland sea, and then invested twelve fleets at one time, and carried out a large-scale main battle with almost full force in conjunction with the calculation of the fleet that lured the enemy.

Although the Republic of Sonivia also suffered a lot of losses in this battle, including two admirals in the 13th Fleet who were seriously wounded and disabled, permanently retired, and the rest of the fighters suffered numerous casualties, etc., but in this battle, the military headquarters also achieved extremely brilliant results.

In addition to killing a large number of alien creatures, it is more important to kill a "worm queen" who can produce such creatures in large quantities from the body. How many "queens" are there in this type of producer? In fact, there is no answer on the part of the government. But if there were really so many such "queens", then with their production of alien creatures, the human race would have been extinct a long time ago.

From this, it can be seen that the "queen worm" is at least a fairly rare variety, if not the only one.

After this battle, the military headquarters drove the alien creatures out of the inland sea, and the endless war of aggression came to an end. has such brilliant military exploits, and this is one of the important reasons why Yakumo Zi won the original election.

Ruoxiwan's performance this morning is in the "Qinglan" district, which is barely located in the central part of the Republic of Sonivia, and as for Ji Yuehua's home, it is located in the "clear sky" area, which is already relatively close to the border and coastal defense. In fact, not long ago, the vicinity of this place was still one of the defense lines belonging to the military headquarters, and it was because the alien creatures were driven to the open sea area, and the military headquarters pushed the defense line forward at the same time, so this place will be used as a civilian housing area.

Like the sun in a clear sky, it brings light to people. It is not difficult to guess that this name was given after the change of use, and the purpose is to a certain extent to record the achievements of the military department over the years.

Due to the change of use, the redevelopment area is only a matter of the past few years. Therefore, compared to the bustling central belt, the development of this place is not so prosperous, and if you look at it independently, it is a bit like a small town near the sea.

At this moment, walking on the street made of simple bricks, the various shops and houses on both sides are still so familiar, and to some extent, they can be regarded as home, but Ji Yuehua's heart is no longer as excited as when she had dinner with friends just now, and it is in turn shrouded in a faint shadow.

"Look, it's that kid again! It's still the same unorthodox outfit!"

"Is that kid back? I went out early this morning, and I thought it was for some reason, and it seemed that I was going to play with those friends who were not doing their jobs again?"

"Alas, it's been four years since this kid got a serious job. The boss is not small, and he only knows how to stay at home and play games all day long, and every time he goes out, he either comes back with a bunch of posters or the like, or returns with a bunch of games. Even if I can understand their enthusiasm for the president, I have to find a job anyway, right?"

"But it's strange to say, obviously he didn't find a job, how did he pay for his life and those gadgets."

"Who knows, maybe all these expenses come from the inheritance or financial support given to him by his parents??"

"Ah, wouldn't that be a veritable loser if you said that? Alas, I felt pity for his parents. ”

And so on, and so on, and the whispers about him have been endless.

Obviously he was on the street where his house was, but all the people around him were strangers, or even worse than that

In fact, even Ji Yuehua himself felt that it was natural for the neighbors to have such a reaction to him.

After all, he hasn't looked for a job in the past few years, and he is already an adult, but he stays at home all day playing games, even if he goes out occasionally, he is wearing such a set of clothes. Every day, he is a mess and lives like a wasted person.

Even if there may be people who persuade him to try to guide him back to the right path at the beginning, but after a long time, he is not a relative after all, and no one can have such patience to waste his efforts on such a stubborn person.

For the neighbors, Ji Yuehua in front of him is like a dead person to a certain extent, but for himself, why doesn't he feel like this?

Don't care about the world's eyes?

What a misunderstanding?

doesn't show it on his face, it doesn't mean that he really doesn't care about listening to other people's prickly words to himself, Ji Yuehua just chooses to be silent

Don't argue with people, don't argue with people. If you are at fault, then accept it.

Walking straight home, hearing but not hearing, turning a blind eye, for Ji Yuehua herself, that is the best thing to do.

"Huh, Brother Ji, are you back?"

Just as Ji Yuehua was silently walking with her head down, trying to ignore all the gossip next to her. An unexpected conversation forced him to stop walking.

When she raised her head, she saw that what met Ji Yuehua's eyes was a girl with fine blond hair.

"It's early today, so even if you go out in the morning, you might have to wait until the evening to come back. Did anything good happen to you?"

The girl looked to be only eighteen or nine years old, and her appearance was quite pretty. Wearing a simple dress, a simple apron is also worn above, and even if the golden hair is put down, it only goes to the length of the shoulder, and with the beautiful face, even if it is not as radiant and moving as Ruoxi Wan, it still has a strange cuteness.

"Alice?"

The gentle voice and words touched Ji Yuehua's face like a spring breeze. Even if it can't cure the root cause, it is a little cure.

Alice Margot Royd, Ji Yuehua's neighbor, the daughter of the owner of the flower shop next to her.

If there were any other people around here who would greet him often, then I think this girl would be the only one left.

Obviously, they only nodded to each other, and they haven't met many times, and every time they meet, they only talk a little bit, why does this girl talk to such a waste person like him so happily, and even ignore her father's objections?

Regarding this, Ji Yuehua herself actually doesn't understand anything at all. But no matter how you say it, she symbolically reminds Alice, "If Uncle Edward sees you talking to me, then he may be upset again?"

"Ah, it doesn't matter, anyway, my father just went out. I don't think I can come back in an hour or two, right?" Regarding Ji Yuehua's concern, Alice first chuckled, and then asked with great interest, "Oni, then again, Brother Ji, are you worried about me?"

"Ah, can't you let a kind little girl be disciplined for talking to strangers, although your brother Ji is already good enough, but I can't go beyond the bottom line of being a man." Sighing with a self-deprecating smile, Ji Yuehua looked at Alice quietly, her gaze under the lenses was full of tenderness, "So, what is our lovely Miss Alice looking for me today?" If it's just a hello, I'll go back first?"
