ACT.278 Cooperation
"Hey......"
Chen Luo sighed softly, feeling helpless about the embarrassing situation of the cursed child now.
It's a pity that Chenluo is a human being and not a god, and he may be able to change other things, but other people's concepts Chenluo is completely powerless. The Son of Heaven is still powerless to improve the current situation, not to mention that Chen Luo is just a policeman. Even the number one police officer is powerless to change the will of others.
"How did you two end up here?"
Chen Luo turned his head and looked at the two little girls who were looking at him in admiration, and said with a little headache.
In general, most of the cursed children are in the outer districts, if not adopted. And now Chenluo, where they are, is still a long distance away from the outer area.
Although there is no law prohibiting cursed children from approaching the inner city, most of the cursed children themselves do not leave the outer districts.
In this chaotic world, it is not uncommon for cursed children to be killed by humans, and it happens almost every day. If Chen Luo hadn't appeared in time just now, the two little girls would have been beaten up even if they weren't killed.
And the irony is that the men just now are not bad, and they only want to do it when they are impatient with them. Some citizens will oppress these cursed children for no reason, and the cursed children are often unable to resist, otherwise the more people will beat her. If it weren't for the good physical fitness of the cursed child, the death count would have increased even more.
However, most of the cursed children are orphans, and they are all under the age of 10. Many do not have a stable source of income. You can only rely on stealing and robbing. This makes people even more disgusted with them. Even if they are forced to do so. Occasionally, there will be news of cursed children killing ordinary people, which greatly makes the relationship between ordinary humans and cursed children worse.
"Because everyone's textbooks have already been studied, the new textbooks are not ready for ...... due to money"
A little girl said sadly, her tone full of eagerness to learn.
"New textbooks? Do you still have a school? β
Chen Luo asked suspiciously, touching his right cheek.
The outer districts where the cursed children are located are actually slightly worse than the slums, and it can be said that there is nothing else except one dilapidated house after another. Even water and electricity may not be connected. They usually go to bed early at night, and they rely on nearby rivers and ponds for water. As an island country, Neon has no serious water source problems, and groundwater is also sufficient.
As for buildings like schools, they are considered a luxury for the outer districts, and as far as Chen Luo knows, no schools are built in the outer districts. Needless to say, there are schools for cursed children, at least not in Edo Ward. And these two girls obviously don't hide the color of their eyes, how can any school take in the two of them. If the cursed children in the outer districts want to go to school, most of them are taught privately by some kinder people.
"It's not a school! Actually, Grandpa Matsuzaki taught us in an abandoned auditorium, and there were only thirty or forty people in total. β
The other little girl said with some embarrassment.
"Hmm...... Can you show me there? β
Chenluo pondered for a moment. Asked the little girl.
"Of course, but what do you want to do, big brother?"
The little girl nodded happily. Then he raised his head and asked innocently.
"Because I want to see where you are, and if I can, I'd like to sponsor you."
Chen Luo said with a smile.
After such a big crisis was solved this time, the economic situation in Edo City was certainly not optimistic, but the government's economy was not at all comparable to that of an individual. Presumably, the reward given to him by the Son of Heaven is not bad, there are many problems in building a large school, and it is no problem to build a small school. Gather the cursed children near the outlying zone where they are located and teach them.
In this way, it can not only completely avoid the crisis of Lanyuan Yanzhu being dropped out of school, but also help other cursed children, which can be regarded as a double thing for Chen Luo.
"Really?"
Hearing Chen Luo's words, the little girl immediately cheered and asked Chen Luo excitedly.
"Of course it's true, so I'll ask you two to take me to see it now."
Chen Luo nodded and smiled.
"Okay, please come with me!"
The little girl hurriedly turned around and jumped up and down to lead the way for Chen Luo, her happiness overflowing.
The other little girl stood beside them obediently and walked towards the auditorium where they usually used for classes.
"It's great that Lowe was able to do that! is worthy of being a concubine's fiancΓ©! β
Lan Yuan Yanzhu's face was finally completely swept away, and he said with a proud look.
"Well...... Although you seem to be complimenting me, the latter sentence can be completely discarded, so no matter how you look at it, it's a lie and nonsense! β
Chen Luo touched Lan Yuan Yanzhu's little head, and complained with a black line on his face.
"Tsk...... Is there any difference? Luo, you have sworn that you will never leave your concubine alone! β
Lan Yuan Yanzhu pursed his lips disdainfully and said, as if the truth was in his own hands.
"That's nice......"
The other three girls instantly looked at Lan Yuan Yanzhu and Chen Luo with the same envy, envying that there was such a deep bond between the two.
"Don't change the concept, let alone make up for the brain, I mean it comes from friendship and family affection, and it has nothing to do with love!"
Chen Luo sighed and said helplessly.
If Lan Yuan Yanzhu really wants to say anything bad, it is just like Ye Ye and them, and she can always come up with some extended meanings that are actually completely absent. Although it will make people feel more cute in this way...... But this kind of cuteness can sometimes cause people trouble!
Thereupon. The time passed slowly in the pleasant conversation of the five people. It took more than ten minutes for the five of them to finally arrive at the outer area. The two little girls are called the auditorium.
The surroundings are not particularly bad, at least they are clean, there is no overwhelming stench, and there is no garbage everywhere. However, it is obviously much more depressed than the inner city, and it can be said that there are no ordinary people at all, even the cursed children are almost gone.
After all, the cursed children are too young, and most of the houses in the outer districts have collapsed, if they want to find a shelter from the elements. I can only make a home in the sewers.
Due to the lack of inhabitation, the sewer environment inhabited by the cursed children is generally not particularly bad, at least there is no sewage covering, but the light is naturally not to mention. They have to rely on a few candles to light them when they need them. During the day, you may open the manhole cover and bask in the sun at the sewer mouth for a chat.
Even in the outer districts, the cursed children don't go out very often, one is that there are not many facilities outside for entertainment, and the other is that there is no shortage of dangers in the outer districts.
Due to the embarrassing status of the cursed children, no one will say anything when they are killed. So some crazy rich people. They will even invite their friends to hunt the cursed children in the outer districts for fun. Chen Luo has also heard of this kind of thing, but he has not seen it yet.
After all, the number of people who do that kind of thing is still very small. And the cursed children actually have some self-preservation ability. It's just that the nature of children makes them not very aggressive, and those who push them may not be able to survive themselves, especially in the gathering place of cursed children.
If Chen Luo really bumped into someone who did that kind of thing, Chen Luo didn't mind letting them enjoy the feeling of being hunted too. For that kind of person, Chen Luo naturally has no reason to let it go, and if that kind of person doesn't kill them, it is the greatest disrespect to the world.
"This is it!"
The little girl leading the way said, pointing to a dilapidated building in front of her.
"You've led the way, Patrol."
Chen Luo touched the little girl's pink hair and thanked her.
"Hmm......"
The other little girl pouted a little unhappily, and was a little unhappy that Chen Luo only thanked the Patrol Voice alone and ignored herself.
"Thank you, of course, Elu."
Chen Luo sensed the other little girl's unhappiness, and also touched the other little girl's long golden hair and thanked him.
"Is this the auditorium? It feels very intimate! β
Lan Yuan Yanzhu said with some excitement as he looked at the ruins in front of him.
"Well...... After all, there are a lot of people here who will have a great time with you. But this environment doesn't seem to be very good......"
Chen Luo said with a smile at first, and then his face became slightly darker, looking at the ruins in front of him and falling into thought.
The auditorium in front of them is actually just a more high-end way of saying it. In fact, it is completely ruined, there is not even a door, only a meter-wide place of nothingness for people to pass through.
There was no eaves above to shelter from the wind and rain, just a hollow piece where the sun could shine directly into the auditorium. Although it brings a good benefit, that is, it ensures sufficient sunshine. The problem is that in case of rain, everyone can only quickly pack up their things and go to the sewer to take shelter from the rain. And in the summer, if you are so directly exposed to the sun, I am afraid that a large number of students will suffer from heat stroke. The sewers were too dim and could only be lit by candles, making it too difficult to learn.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, so it is necessary to renovate the auditorium and turn this ruin into a real auditorium. It wasn't too difficult, and with the lure of money, those workers would probably help them rebuild. With Chenluo here, you don't have to worry about them doing anything bad.
If you get the venue, you don't have to worry about textbooks. It shouldn't be a difficult thing to buy textbooks, it's a big deal to ask the Son of Heaven to help, presumably this little thing, the Son of Heaven will not refuse, not to mention that the Son of Heaven is also a person full of love for the cursed child, she will definitely be happy.
It is not an easy task to supply electricity here, so Chen Luo can only help them stock up on some batteries, and then use portable desk lamps and the like to illuminate them. If you want to power up, it's not that easy, and Chen Luo is a little powerless for the time being.
After that's done. The biggest problem is the problem of teachers.
among ordinary people. I'm afraid there aren't many who are willing to teach cursed children. Even if it's for all students. Mainly ordinary students, interspersed with one or two cursed children to teach, those so-called teachers are still scared to death, and take the lead in ostracizing the cursed children. Not to mention teaching cursed children, it is undoubtedly the most difficult problem to find such people, and to be able to teach and care for them seriously. It is not an exaggeration to call such people rare.
Although there is the person who is called Grandpa Matsuzaki by Inspector and Ailu, it is still a little difficult for him to complete the task of teaching alone. Whether it's age, knowledge, or energy. are all very serious problems. And the tour also said that Matsuzaki often only teaches one or two classes a day, and the content he teaches is not particularly comprehensive.
If it really doesn't work, Chen Luo will probably be able to take turns helping with the teaching, and Restia and Esther don't know much about learning, after all, the world they used to live in was the world of magic, not the world of science.
Qianshou Xiashi's IQ can allow her to learn what she should learn as soon as possible, and let her help teach while studying, but whether Qianshou Xiashi is willing to do it is still a question, and Chen Luo is not willing to force her.
"What's wrong? Aren't you willing to sponsor it, big brother? β
Seeing that Chen Luo had been frowning and thinking about something. Xunyin looked at Chen Luo pitifully and asked, like a kitten that no one wanted.
"Of course not. I'm just thinking about how we can make our school more beautiful and better. β
Chen Luo shook his head and said with a smile.
"Really? That's great! So I'll take you to Grandpa Matsuzaki now, right? β
Hearing Chenluo call the school "our school", Xunyin's face instantly showed a happy expression, and he asked Chenluo happily.
"Okay, let's go."
Tatsuro nodded, and then asked the Patrol to lead the way for him again.
The next group walked towards the underground waterway where the inspectors lived, the underground waterway was only a few dozen meters away from the auditorium, and several people quickly arrived.
After knocking on the manhole cover a few times, a little girl popped up and looked around vigilantly.
"Patrol? Elu? You're back so soon? Who is the one in the back? β
Seeing the familiar faces, the little girl happily said hello, then looked at the three Chenluo behind the patrol sound, and asked suspiciously.
"The eldest brother is the one who is here to help us build the school, and the two in the back are also our partners! I'm going to take them to meet Grandpa Matsuzaki. β
The patrol said with a little excitement.
"Great! Then let's go now! β
Hearing the words of the patrol, the little girl was also instantly excited, and hurriedly climbed down the stairs and walked to the depths.
Chen Luo and the others also quickly walked to the sewer, the sewer was indeed relatively dim, and they couldn't see their fingers, and there were not even lamps for lighting. Only in the middle of the distance, there will be a dim oil lamp, emitting a faint light, barely illuminating the front.
As we gradually came to an end, the place ahead finally became a little brighter, and a place that looked like a home appeared.
I saw a group of children sitting in a place, and an old man with a kind face was surrounded by children, with a kind smile on his face, smiling and telling interesting things to the children.
"Patrol Yin, Ailu, you're back. May I ask who are the three of you? β
Seeing Chenluo and the others, the old man stood up and asked Chenluo suspiciously.
"My name is Chenluo, I am a police officer, this is my initiator Lan Yuan Yanzhu, and the other is my sister, Elena. We are here to help you improve the school environment. β
Chen Luo hurriedly introduced himself.
"Really? So on behalf of all of you, thank you. But I don't know what you want? β
Hearing Tatsuraku's words, Matsuzaki couldn't help but show a surprised expression and hurriedly thanked Tatsuraku.
"My request is simple, just for Yeonjoo and Elena to be able to enroll as well. The two of them also wanted to go to school, but unfortunately there was an accident and their studies were temporarily put on hold. As for textbooks and other things, I will provide them completely, and I will try to help provide everyone's food. And I'm going to help you renovate the auditorium outside so that you can study in a warmer environment. β
Chen Luo said with a smile, telling all his plans.
"What exciting news! Once again, on behalf of the children, thank you. β
Hearing Tatsuraku's words, Matsuzaki blinked his eyes in some surprise, and then said with suppressed excitement.
In this matter, no matter how you look at it, they have picked up a big bargain, so it is fake to say that they are not grateful to Chen Luo.
"Also, if we have time and can't do it, a friend of mine and I might come and teach you, but we won't come often, after all, we have our own things to do, sorry."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Luo touched his forehead a little helplessly and said.
"It's a great day, thank you so much."
Matsuzaki made a prayer-like gesture and thanked Tatsuraku.
"That's all I want to say, if I can, I'll implement it as soon as possible."
Chen Luo smiled, then stretched out his right hand and said.
"Of course you can, then this matter is so happily decided."
Matsuzaki also hurriedly stretched out his slightly old and thin hand, and excitedly held Chenluo's hand and said...... (To be continued......)
PS: Unconsciously it's going to be 90W words~~ It's time to close (rotten) tail (tail), well...... I've been preparing a new book lately, so maybe I'm going to die......
