Chapter 47: The eldest sister's decision
The atmosphere was so cold that it was about to freeze.
Schultz was talking nonsense in a serious manner, Adu was looking at him with adoration on his face, the worm was looking down and not knowing what he was thinking, and the turtledove wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
He was really suffocating.
Turtledove has really never met a person like Schultz,—— he talks about ideals, beliefs or something at every turn, and takes it for granted, and the turtledove begins to feel that maybe he is the abnormal one.
Whether in or outside the Mouse City, Turtledove knows a group of people who are very "realistic", they never talk like Schultz, put their ideals and beliefs in an extremely lofty position, those people just live day by day, nothing more.
Inexplicably, a sense of loss emerged in the turtledove's heart, because he had no ideals, let alone faith, even after meeting the worm, he was also "living day by day", no different from those people he knew before.
So, how exactly should a person live?
Schultz's different attitudes towards the world from others made Turtledove think about it, and he blinked his eyes and fell into deep thought.
……
"What do you want?"
Before the turtledove could think of an answer, a small hand shook in front of his eyes, drawing his attention back to reality, and the turtledove looked fixedly, and the little worm was looking at him with his head held high, so he replied to the little worm:
"Didn't think about anything."
"You didn't think about anything, you were stunned here for a long time, and your eyes were straight," the little worm had the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the end, "Tell me quickly, what are you thinking." ”
"It's really nothing."
The turtledove took a step back, avoiding the inquiring glance of the worm.
"Hush."
The worm pouted at the turtledove.
Here the turtledove and the little worm had a couple of words, and over there Schultz was babbling for a long time, the turtledove had not put his mind on this before, and when he listened to him at this time, he had already said that he was going to save Adu's sister.
Why does Adu have a sister?
Why save her?
What happened to her?
What's going on?
"Wait, wait," Turtledove raised his hand to signal Schultz not to hurry down, "You speak too fast, for the sake of my small brain, can you say it again?" ”
Schultz looked at the turtledove in wonder, and said in his heart that I was not at all happy to speak, and what I said was not too complicated, how could anyone not understand it.
"Just tell him that again."
The little worm hugged his arms and shook his head, and the four big words "helpless" were written on his face.
……
It turns out that Adu has a younger sister, although there is no blood relationship, but they grew up together, and they are closer than their own sisters. Like the other orphans in Candy City, they supported each other on weekdays, until a while ago, Adu's sister was captured in a sugar factory, where she worked day and night.
Adu hasn't seen her since.
Calvin's sugar factory hired many Candy City locals to work, and even though he was in control of the entire Candy City, he still had to pay those workers, or who would want to work for him for nothing.
The orphans in the city are different, they have no relatives, they are helpless, and they can be captured for hard labor without pay, and they don't have to worry about people coming to their troubles, so the best of both worlds, Calvin almost dreamed of waking up laughing.
The land outside the law is so chaotic, all forces are fighting all day long, and there are a lot of orphans born almost every moment, Calvin used to hate those little cubs drilling into the candy city, affecting the beauty and security of the city, but now, he doesn't think so at all.
If he could, Calvin even hoped that the more orphans who came here would be as many as possible, so that he could get a large number of free labor, exchange honey and other forces for more arms, and further expand the size of Candy City,—— he was also ambitious, and did not want to be a subordinate to the one-eyed vulture for the rest of his life.
Therefore, the cactus honey that is a specialty of Candy City is not sweet, but bitter, astringent, and fishy, because it is full of tears, sweat and blood.
Adu knows what life is like for orphans who have been captured in the sugar factory, so he is desperate to rescue his sister, who has lied that the candy city's supply warehouse is in the sugar factory, in order to trick the turtledove and the worm into the sugar factory, and then use them to cause chaos to see if he can find a chance to rescue his sister.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out.
……
Hearing this, the turtledove and the little worm glanced at each other, they didn't expect that Adu had deceived themselves for this reason, and they couldn't help but regret that they had scared Adu so hard just now, and said that they would screw his head off and kick it as a ball.
"Originally, I was just passing through here," Schultz touched Adu's head, "but I thought these children were pitiful, so I stayed here for a while, trying to help them." ”
Well, that's by far the least funny thing Ikaruga has ever heard from Schultz.
"What do you two say, I hope these words can make you forgive Adu, and if it still can't make you angry, then you can settle the account on me, and don't embarrass him again."
Schultz said this, what else could the turtledove and the worm say, and the turtledove's gaze wandered over Schultz and Adu a few times, and finally landed on the worm.
"What do you want me to do?"
The bug rolled its eyes at the turtledove.
"Big sister, it's time for you to speak."
The little insect smiled and punched the turtledove, she was joking with the turtledove last time, so that he would call himself the eldest sister head in the future, and I don't know if the turtledove was serious or deliberately teasing her, recently she has been calling "the head of the eldest sister and the head of the eldest sister", once or twice is fine, but it is not so interesting to call every day.
"Tell me," the little worm stopped pestering the turtledove, and turned to Schultz, "you keep saying that you want to help them, so what are your plans?" ”
"You two want to help?"
The little worm nodded, and said in unison with the turtledove:
"That's right."
Before the meeting, the two answered in the affirmative, Schultz clenched his fists excitedly, he did have a plan, but he always suffered from lack of manpower, there was no way to arrange it, and now with the addition of turtledoves and small worms, although it cannot be said that there is a 100% chance of success, but it is far higher than the probability of success of his own risky actions.
"Thank you," Schultz nodded to them, "let me go back today and make some plans, and tomorrow I'll find you both, and we'll discuss it further then." ”
"No problem."
Worm said.
"That'...... See you tomorrow. ”
After speaking, Schultz led Adu away, and looking at their distant backs, the little worm said to the turtledove on the side:
"In the future, in front of outsiders, don't call me eldest sister."
"Okay, big sister."
"Remember?"
"Remember, big sister."
"That's it."
