On this day, the town of Iron Mountain ushered in no less lively than the New Year, and people lined up on the streets with joy, ready to receive the blessing of the rain god and receive freshly baked toast. The queue for blessings was long, long, almost from the street to the end of the street.

A boy and a one-eyed old man lined up in the middle of the line, the boy looked at the long queue in front of him, and said to the old man with some anxiety, "Grandpa, there are so many people, will the bread be divided, I'm so hungry." ”

The old man narrowed his one-eyed gaze at the queue, bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "There are indeed many people today, and I may not really be able to divide them." ”

When the boy heard this, he almost burst into tears. He was looking forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for toast. Then the boy's eyes rolled, and he left the old man and ran to the front of the line. The old man watched the boy run forward, and for a moment he couldn't decide whether to continue in line or chase after him. If he chases after him, he will have to give up his current position. But if you don't chase after it, if the boy gets into trouble, not only will he not be able to eat bread at that time, but the grandfather and grandson will also be beaten, which will not be good. Then the old man thought about it, his grandson was still old. Historically, the nuns have preferred children. Thinking of this, the old man sighed and said to himself, "Let him try his luck." "If they give up their current position, the four loaves of bread for two people may be gone, and this is the dry food they have to go south.

After the boy left the old man, he ran to the front of the line. He saw the fragrant toast from the nun, and he became more and more hungry. So he squeezed up and tried to cut in line to get the bread.

At this moment, a thin man at the front of the line noticed that the boy was squeezing in front of him. He scolded loudly, "MD, dare to intervene in Lao Tzu's team", and before he finished speaking, he kicked it directly!

A muffled sound was heard, and the boy was kicked out. Then there was another muffled thud, and the back of the boy's head hit the floor hard. The boy was smashed to pieces. He first got up and looked blankly at his beater, then he felt a terrible pain in his chest and head, and then he sat on the ground and cried like all bullied children of this age.

"Don't hit anyone!"

The boy was crying when he heard a shout from his head. The voice was crisp and loud, with an indescribable majesty, like thunder from above the sky. The boy wiped his tears from his sleeve and opened his eyes. I found that the thin man who kicked him just now was trembling, his mouth was open and closed, but he didn't speak.

The boy turned his head curiously and looked at the owner of the voice. The owner of the voice is an older sister dressed in light blue. Her face was cold, as if there was no trace of emotion, no trace of warmth. It was the first time the boy had seen such a solemn expression. Suddenly feeling a little frightened, he didn't even dare to look directly, almost wanting to close his eyes immediately.

However, in the next second, this sister who was like a thousand years of ice showed him a faint smile.

At this moment, it was like an iceberg cracking and the dark clouds dissipated......

It was as if he saw the light, the hope, and the end of the world. This smile has left an indelible mark on his young heart. From this moment on, he had a whole new definition of the concept of beauty. Perhaps, in his lifetime, he will never be able to see a more beautiful existence than this.

"Friend, where are the adults in your family?" The sister in light blue asked. But the boy's head seemed to be knocked unconscious, and he was stunned for a moment without responding.

"I'm his grandfather, I'm ...... I am here. A one-eyed old man ran over, picked up the boy with a dull face, and scolded, "Cry, cry, cry, you know cry." Then the old man folded his hands and bowed to the girl dressed in light blue, and then explained with a face full of reverence, "I am very sorry that I did not take a good look at my grandson, he has not eaten for a few days, so he runs around and causes trouble for the lord." ”

"As an adult, you have to take care of children, and now there are so many people, and children are like this, it is easy to get hurt...... "One of the nuns stepped forward to train.

The goddess raised her hand and stopped the nun from continuing. Then she took five pieces of bread from the nun's rattan basket, put them in a paper bag herself, and handed them to the boy. Finally, she pointed to the thin man who had just beaten her, and to the nun beside her, "He has reduced a piece." ”

The indifferent voice of the goddess seemed to have no tone, and the thin man listened to it, but he touched his chest, as if he had been pardoned. The goddess official in front of him, although he is very beautiful, but he has seen the world, but he does not dare to take a second look. Because he knew that the priests of the Temple of Prayer for Rain had a very high religious status and transcendent status. All she needed was a word, a look, and an ant like him would be wiped out.

Just then, a handsome man walked over. The man was in his early twenties, and he was dressed in a gorgeous military attire. The thin man only glanced at it, and knew that the other party's identity was extremely noble, at least the young master of the big family above Yincheng had such a appearance. Therefore, he immediately lowered his head, and became more and more humble. After all, these people are giants who eat people and don't spit out bones.

"Lily of the valley, what's going on?" The handsome man asked.

"It's okay, go get busy with you." The goddess replied lightly.

Just as the goddess was speaking, the boy carefully noticed that a trace of displeasure flashed imperceptibly on her face. Although the boy was not very old, he was sure that the priest's sister did not like that uncle. So, he wanted to help the priest's sister say a word. He thought, "People don't like you, you go quickly." But, just as he was about to speak! The old man, who had been waiting by his side, with his head down and his hands down, suddenly covered his mouth. Then the old man pulled him away, and bowed his head, "Thank you!" Thank you, thank you, thank you. ”

After a while, the old man dragged the boy into the alley and pushed him to the ground. The boy was thinking about something, but suddenly found that the old man was covered in a cold sweat, and the old body trembled involuntarily. The old man seemed to be greatly frightened, and saw him trembling and stretching out his hand to hold on to the wall, as if he could no longer stand on his own.

"Grandpa, you...... You...... How do you ...... What's wrong? The boy was momentarily frightened, this was his only relative, and he did not dare to imagine the world without his grandfather.

"Good ...... Good job, sir...... Grandpa is fine. The old man touched the boy's head lovingly, and it came intermittently.

"Grandpa, I'...... I don't talk nonsense anymore. "The boy arrived.

"You know, you just got into a catastrophe." The old man said earnestly, "If your words offend that Silver City nobleman, then from now on, there will be no place for us in this world." Even if our grandparents go to the ends of the earth, we will be in danger of being killed at any time."

"I don't believe that the world is so big, can he find us?"

"Yes! He could! He will! They have money, power, mech, armor, flying machines, endless resources, they have everything, and they can pay for the whole world to hunt us down. The old man gritted his teeth and slammed it. As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the silver city in the sky.

"Is he better than iron slag?" The boy asked. In his mind, Iron Slag is the most powerful and powerful person in the entire Iron Mountain Town.

"Iron slag is a scum compared to him, not even scum...... the old man sighed and continued, "Actually, the iron slag man is not bad, but fierce, as long as you are not bad, he is not bad." ”

Just when the grandfather and grandson were talking about the iron slag, the iron slag himself was taking Ye Xinling and wandering around the parts market not far from them.

This parts market is one of the largest sources of income for Iron Mountain Township. The people of Tieshan Town sorted and sorted the garbage left by Yincheng, some were recycled locally, some were gathered together and transported to Shacheng for refining, some could be used directly, and some were dismantled into parts and sold in the market. The people in the Silver City live in luxury, and they will simply throw away the things that are slightly old, or the things that are slightly broken. However, it is precisely because of their waste that the following people can pick it up and use it. At this point, I really don't know if it's good or missing.

Half of the parts of the Red Comet of Iron Slag were assembled from the garbage of Silver City, and half of its parts were picked up by Iron Slag and Old Cow in the garbage heap, and the other half of the parts came from the parts market in Iron Mountain Town.

Located to the east of Tieshan Town, this parts market covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters and has hundreds of stalls inside. The stalls are made up of rectangular tables, then several poles are erected, and finally a canvas is pulled at the head to shade the sun. The stalls are close to each other and are filled with a wide variety of parts, old and new.

Iron slag was wandering around the market, and he couldn't really understand the various parts. He came here today, mainly for Lao Niu. Although Lao Niu is kind, he has a fiery temper and is prone to conflict with others.

Iron Slag is not worried about the combat effectiveness of the old cow, because the old cow is also a traditional evolutionary. Although the evolution of Lao Niu is not as good as him, there are really few people in this Tieshan Town who can win against Lao Niu. And the old cow will have a kind of "ancestral martial arts" (the old man who sells guns in Sand City), and it is said that the fight is quite good.

But then again, why the old cow is "also a traditional evolutionary" is because the evolution direction of the old cow is a little different from that of ordinary people. His evolution is mainly focused on strength and stamina, with very little enhancement in other areas. Therefore, the old cow is much lower than the iron slag in terms of physical agility and the speed of nerve reaction.

According to Lao Niu's own words, it is - "God wants me to be a mechanic, so he gives me all the strength of the cow, but does not give other benefits." ”
