Chapter 9: The Guilt of Sixteen Years Late
When he went out and was blown by the wind, Sun Ling's head calmed down.
I went to what I was thinking, and I was provoked by Mason Hua and came out.
However, the words have already been spoken. Can't go back. Sun Ling also slowly moved forward.
Not only Lao Zheng's team has a variety of service items, but also the trading area of New Chang'an City has such a place. Specially for everyone who is under great pressure to vent, the two oldest professions in the world, Qinglou and Killer, no matter what era there will always be room for survival.
The entrance to the trading area is guarded by a sentry. The machine guns mounted on the watchtower were enough to suppress any commotion and chaos in the field, and there were already caravans from yesterday setting up stalls inside. Whether you enter or exit, you have to be interrogated by the sentinels, and if you have some gadgets offered by the organic spirits, you will naturally clear the customs quickly. If you are not very clever or do not, you will naturally need to be interrogated more carefully.
Sun Ling naturally didn't have to queue up at the door with others. He walked straight to the open door. I nodded and said hello to the captain on duty. The team leader on duty shouted to Dr. Sun enthusiastically, but Sun Ling didn't even look back, and walked into the trading area.
As soon as you enter the trading area, you will feel a different atmosphere from the "aristocratic" area of Area A. Noisy, dirty, the crowd is not crowded, all looking at others with a cautious gaze. The same thin-skinned houses, chaotic stalls. When they saw people, they came up to the hawkers who whispered their peddlers. High dome. Even during the day, the light is as dim and unclear as dusk. It doesn't seem to do much other than to be upsetting.
And as soon as Sun Ling came in, even the vendors who were doing everything possible to sell the gadgets in their hands did not dare to approach at all. The people at the bottom of society who eat leftovers like rats, which are "foxes" that can be approached, and which are tigers that are dangerous in close proximity, all have an outstanding sense of smell. The man who had just stepped into the trading area was not stopped by the sentinels, his clothes were not neat, but they were clean, and his hair was free of the sludge that a man who had been out for a long time begging for a living, and a clean man was clearly a behemoth at the top of the food chain, and the man who did not have long eyes to ask for favor had long since lost his bones.
Not only that, in the direction Sun Ling walked, consciously or unconsciously, the flow of people automatically separated, and everyone wrapped their clothes tightly and stayed away, for fear of provoking this "big man".
However, a person went against the flow of people and came to Sun Ling's side, "Doctor Sun, are you interested in sweeping the goods today?" β
Song Yixue is very happy that among the waste pickers in New Chang'an City, he may be one of the few people who can come into contact with the big people in Area A. Because of this, his scavenging group is also quite prestigious in the city, and in some places, he is also a face-saving figure. And the level 1 transformation of perception he obtained in the black clinic also made it smooth sailing for him in the business of scavenging. The facial features, which are more sensitive than ordinary people, can always find good things that others can't find. Because of this, he is almost superstitious that the black clinic is his god of wealth, and anyone in the black clinic is a godsend. Because of this, he was polite to Sun Lingcai to the extent that he was almost servile.
"Oh? Didn't go out today? Seeing that it was Song Yixue, Sun Ling thought for a few seconds before remembering who it was, and greeted him casually.
Even after more than 20 years, there are still many things left over from the wilderness, whether it is all kinds of materials left before the war, or things left by people before the collapse, these are the things that these scavengers are chasing. Back then, it was only Song Yixue who found a reagent box, and the rare reagents stored in it were enough to analyze many new formulas in the black clinic. As soon as several people were happy, they casually sent Song Yixue away with a Perception 1 reagent, and presented a full set of surgical services. Song Yixue was fortunate to survive, and since then he has almost been in contact with the black clinic.
Some people look down on these guys who make a fortune from the dead. However, Sun Ling did not discriminate against these begging people. In other words, for most people, the people in the black clinic basically pay little attention, have no mercy, and try not to intersect.
"I just came back from a long journey, and I have gained a lot."
Sun Ling nodded, "That's good, be more careful when you work, I won't talk to you if I have something today." β
Song Yixue nodded and bowed for a long time, until he couldn't see Sun Ling. The eyes of the surrounding group of people looking at Song Yixue also changed. Song Yixue looked left and right and smiled, and was about to leave. Someone has already quietly followed, "Song Tou...... Who is this? β
Ignore the impact of your own words. Sun Ling had already circled into a relatively secluded neighborhood. This area is known as the hotel area. There were many ajar doors on the roadside, and some extremely well-dressed women on the street glanced at all the pedestrians and their "competitors".
However, Sun Ling stopped in front of an apartment where the outline of the old era could still be seen, and most of the women who had planned to come to solicit customers were already discouraged. The dilapidated apartment had been trimmed and whitewashed, and there was a half-sign stamped next to it that read Teachers' College. This is the territory of the money boss. It is a high-standard and high-grade place in the entire trading area. If you want to rob him of his business in front of his door, you must first ask his dozens of strong men and a few guns.
When Sun Ling walked in, the pot-bellied boss Qian was already waiting inside. The bodyguards with big shoulders and round waists who usually receive people and the hostess who are small birds are far away. Boss Qian smiled, "Doctor Sun has to come here today?" β
Sun Ling looked around, the sofa on the faΓ§ade, the log furniture, bonsai, and the lighting lamps were all rare. On the wall, there is an extra wooden frame than usual, and a painting is hung.
"I didn't expect Boss Qian to be an artist, you painted this impressionist painting?"
Although I didn't expect today's opening remarks to be more unexpected, Boss Qian still smiled, "Dr. Sun is joking, do you think I look like an artist?" What if you hadn't said I didn't know it was Impressionism, or were you, well-informed, still the same today? β
Sun Ling let out a long breath and looked at the sky, "Well, it's still like that." β
Boss Qian personally took Sun Ling to the suite specially left, "Look, I will keep it for you, clean it every day to ensure that there is no change." β
Pushing open the door, it's like stepping into another world. It is completely furnished in the style of the 10s of the 21st century. A three-bedroom apartment, even in the current real estate company, this kind of house is not for anyone to live in.
The light jumped a few times, the voltage was still a little unstable, the pungent smell of gasoline, it was impossible to restore the power grid in the past, and it was a small gasoline engine that provided electricity for the lighting, although it had been disguised, but the smell of gasoline could not be removed after all.
There is no TV with TV programs, no refrigerator with refrigeration capacity, no kitchen with running water except a little clean water. At most, everything is only 30% of what it was before the war.
Familiar with the car pushed open the door of the study. In addition to the necessary pen and paper, the inkstone is filled with black paint, after all, in this era, I am afraid that no one has the heart to make ink ingots. And today, there is more, an upright piano. Sun Ling was stunned for a moment, stepped forward and lifted the piano cover, and his fingers involuntarily jumped a few times on the piano.
The sound of the piano sounded, the bedroom snapped, I don't know what was dropped, Sun Ling frowned and walked out of the study, pushing open the door of the bedroom.
A girl who was a head taller than Sun Ling looked at Sun Ling who walked in with a panic on her doll face. Holding the water glass in his hand, he just stood up straight, as if he hadn't gotten used to the high heels under his feet, and staggered and fell.
Sun Ling took a step forward and grabbed the baby-faced girl, her long hair swept over the tip of her nose, and the already panicked girl looked even more nervous, burying her head on Sun Ling's shoulder, her nose twitching.
Sun Ling's eyebrows furrowed. Patting her on the back, "Get up." β
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry. You, you are Dr. Sun. β
Looking at the tall girl in front of him who was barely standing firm and needed to look up, Sun Ling naturally reached out to comb her hair, and halfway through the combing, Sun Ling's hand paused and stroked it again.
"It's me, so flustered, what has been dropped?"
"Ah, it's this."
The panicked girl hurriedly leaned down, and Sun Ling noticed the military hat falling from the ground. The cap was old enough, and there was a bullet hole in it.
"Even if it's this, I can't lose this, it's the only thing I have left."
The little girl who was muttering to herself didn't notice that Sun Ling's breathing was getting heavier and heavier in front of her, and after plucking up the courage to beg for money, the tattered military uniform that had been with her on her long journey was thrown away, and only this hat remained. Although the dress and high heels on her feet were not bargains, she still protected the thing and fastened her hat firmly to her head. Only then did I remember that I seemed to have forgotten something.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Dr. Sun, I ......"
Sun Ling in front of him seemed to have wandered out of the world, everything in front of him seemed to have traveled through time and space, and he forcibly asked, "What's your name?" β
"My name is Chen Yue."
The embankment that separated time seemed to collapse violently, and Dr. Sun, who was originally amiable in Chen Yue's eyes, turned red at once.
"Let me see you, let me see you again, let me see you again!"
Roaring like a beast, Chen Yue was completely frightened and overwhelmed when she was embraced by Sun Ling, and when she was about to shout, she remembered Boss Qian's words with a smile and coldness, "No matter what he does, don't move, don't make a sound, otherwise it will ......."
She didn't want to try that, otherwise she swallowed her scream.
The new clothes she had just changed into were torn apart by brute force, and just as Chen Yue gritted her teeth and was about to bear what was next, a hand caressed her back, sliding all the way down the old scars on her escape, and the friction made her feel a burst of pain.
"I still haven't had time, I still haven't had time...... I can't do anything......"
The roaring voice gradually became quieter, gradually turned into a sob, and gradually the sobbing sound became louder, Chen Yue saw that Dr. Sun in front of him was like a wounded wolf, and his tears were full of guilt and despair.
