Chapter 370: The Wasteland in the Old Miner's Mouth
The two soldiers were also responsible, and told Sojes all the details, and the latter also showed a grateful attitude and thanked the two soldiers.
"Alright, let's go in!"
One of the soldiers opened the hatch, and Sojes walked in, and found that there were already four people living in the cabin, and he was the fifth, and as soon as he entered the house, he smelled an unbearable smell of sweat coming from the house, not to mention him, even the two soldiers were a little unbearable, and after opening the door, they fled for their lives.
Damn, is this Nima a pigsty? What does it smell like!
Holding back the disgusting smell, Sorjes breathed into the cabin, which had six beds and was clean, but the four people who came first were not so clean.
"Yo! Someone is here again!"
"Hey, new arrival, do you have anything to eat? I didn't eat in the morning, I starved to death!"
"You stupid, look at his stupid appearance, he doesn't even have a backpack on him, what can he have?"
"It's so unlucky!"
All four of them looked weak, although their complexion was whiter than that of Sojes, but there were many stains on their bodies, as if they hadn't taken a shower for months, and now everyone was lying on the bed without any image, and the first person to speak even took off his shoes and socks and picked his feet on the bed......
I kind of know where the smell comes from......
Sojes felt as if his nerves were about to break, although he didn't have a habit of cleanliness, but he was also a person who loved cleanliness, living in this kind of environment? sorry, he didn't have this experience, and he didn't want to.
It's just that no matter how reluctant he is, he can only endure it temporarily, Sojes walked to an empty bed, casually made the bed and lay on the bed to prepare for rest, last night because of today's events, he has never been able to fall asleep, and now he needs to make up for sleep.
After seeing Sojes come in, he wanted to sleep, four dirty ghosts, you look at me, I look at you, they all feel a little boring, they really have never seen such a heartless person, but then, a strange expression appeared on their faces.
If Sojes had seen this, he would have asked the men, and it seemed that the life of the miners was not as simple as he and Shiva had thought.
It's a pity that he is asleep now, although he is not asleep soundly, but he also closes his eyes, naturally he doesn't know their expressions, he is not like Shiva who can sense every move of the people nearby even if he closes his eyes, nor can he clearly feel the inner changes of others like Genevia, so he may add a lot of trouble to his trip to the miner this time.
After a few more moments, the hatch was opened again, this time the sixth miner to enter the cabin, and Sorgeth only opened his eyes slightly, and after confirming the appearance of the other party, he closed his eyes again.
The new miner looked a little younger than Sojes, seventeen or eighteen years old at best, his face still had a little childishness, his hair was a little brown and yellow, but it was neatly combed, his clothes were a little shabby, but they were clean, and the large backpack on his back made the already thin child look even thinner.
After entering the house, the young man's face showed a panic that could not be concealed, it seemed that it should be the first time to go far away, or the family knew the inside story of some wasteland miners, but it was a little strange, how could such a person go to the wasteland to mine.
"Hey, new boy, do you have anything to eat?"
Seeing that another newcomer entered the house, the four dirty ghosts who arrived first before began the old process again.
"Uh...... No, there is no ......."
The boy was a little flustered, he was still worried about the life of the miners, and at the first time he heard someone speak, he was startled.
"No?" a big man with hair like a chicken nest got up from the bed, didn't even wear shoes, just walked in front of the boy on the floor with his bare feet, the boy looked a little stunted, a head and a half shorter than this big man, such an obvious height difference, so that the already weak teenager now looks even more pitiful.
Stretching out an arm to hook the young man's neck, the big man smiled evilly and lowered his head and asked, "No, then what is in your bag?"
"Just some clothes!"
The boy took two steps back and pressed his backpack against the wall, but he could only deceive a three-year-old child, how many people who went to work as miners in the wasteland would carry so many clothes?
Although Sorjes is not interested in watching this, he can also hear the conversation between the two clearly, if he was the same as before, he would definitely personally repair this guy who bullied children, but now, he doesn't have the leisure to be bullied, then he can only blame himself for the waste, he is too lazy to care about this kind of shit.
Well, if there is a beautiful woman who is bullied, then you can take care of it, and you can take care of it~
Unexpectedly, when the big man heard this explanation, he let go of the young man, patted the top of the young man's head with a palm the size of a fan, and did not speak, but turned back to the bed and lay down, which made the young man look terrified, and in a few steps he ran to the remaining empty bed, shrunk into a ball like a quail, and in the eyes of this young man who had never been far away, except for Sojes, who had been sleeping, the other four people were too terrible.
"Hah, Kleiner, look, you're freaking out kids, haha!" a rosacea-nosed Humpty Dumpty chuckled as he patted his round belly.
"Alas! It's just teasing him, it's going to be at least a few days before he gets to the wasteland, and if he doesn't let him get on the ship casually, he can only eat and drink in this cabin, and if he doesn't have some fun, he'll suffocate sooner or later!" said the big man who had teased the boy a little depressedly, and now he looked like an ordinary farmer.
The other two were silent, but they didn't seem to have the idea of teasing the boy anymore, which made the brown-haired boy breathe a sigh of relief, and the backpack that looked heavier than him had been held in his arms like a baby, and he didn't let go.
The people around him were amused when they saw it, and the more he did this, the more people felt that there was an "ulterior" secret in this backpack? But in addition to making fun of people at the beginning, these people didn't really snatch people's things like those ruffians, I don't know if they were really joking or afraid that the movement would be too big and cause the navy to punish them, but since they didn't do anything now, then let's just assume that they were just joking.
About half an hour after the boy got on the boat, the two ships lifted anchor, felt the movement of the hull, and several people in the ship knew that it had already set off, so the cabin that had just quieted down sounded some conversations, and Sojes, who had just fallen asleep, was forced to wake up.
"Yo he, little brother woke up, sorry, sorry, let's just be quiet!" The big man named Kleiner couldn't help but smile apologetically when he saw Sogers looking at this place with hazy eyes.
"It's okay, just keep going!" was not so arrogant, and he was afraid of attracting the attention of the navy, so Sojes didn't say anything.
"Ha, it's okay, come, little brother, here are dried pears from Bahana Manor, come, try it!" Kleiner laughed as he threw a small cloth bag to Sojas, who opened it and saw that there were probably dozens of long strips of snow-white preserved fruits inside.
"Thank you, brother, but I don't have anything to give you......" Sorjes showed an apologetic expression at the right time, looking like an embarrassed look of accepting a gift from someone but not being able to return it.
"Alas!" Kleiner patted his thigh, "This thing is not worth a few dollars, we will be assigned to the same dormitory anyway, and we will inevitably take care of each other in the future, what is this Xu Sydney!"
Kleiner was quite literal, and as he spoke, he tossed another small package to the brown-haired boy, "Now, these are yours, little ghost!" "Thanks, thank you......" The young man who was still cowering on the bed thanked him timidly, his face a little complicated, but he was about to say something when he was interrupted by a question from Sojes.
"Brother, you said we would be assigned to the same dormitory? Could it be that it's not the first time you've been here, brother?"
Sure enough, Kleiner gave him a thumbs up: "Brother, you reacted very quickly, that's right, brother, this is the third time I've come to serve, my home is in this Macedonian port, so I'm a little unlucky, I've been there for the third time in ten years!"
"The third time?" Sojers was stunned, looking at Kleiner's expression and tone of voice, why did this wasteland miner seem to have an unknown insider?
"Yes, although this wasteland miner makes a lot of money, it is also quite tiring, and the most important thing is that the environment there is really bad for his grandmother! You can feel the dirt pouring into your nose even if you take a breath!" Kleiner's face was indignant, and the other fat man had the same expression, he and Kleiner were neighbors, and like Kleiner, they were both going to serve in the wasteland for the third time.
"Is the environment so bad?" said Sojes, and then glanced at the brown-haired boy on the bed opposite, like this kind of environment, I don't know if this young man who seems to have suffered nothing can bear it, hey! Why do I care about other people's lives......
"Of course it's bad! The working environment is poor, and the accommodation is not good, basically the first night I sleep, and the next morning I will turn into a black face!" Kleiner said, half jokingly and half helplessly, and from his words, he could also feel how bad the environment of the wasteland was.
After Kleiner finished speaking, he squinted at the brown-haired boy, "Little ghost, if you really bring a change of clothes in your bag, then you will have to bring these extra clothes, no matter how good the clothes you wear, as long as you get to the wasteland, it will not take half a day to get dirty and old." "Hah, no wonder you guys are dressed like they've never been washed, that's what happened!" Sorges laughed and said a joke.
"Not really!" the fat man answered, "the food in that place is not bad, because the empire attaches great importance to it, so even the quartermaster doesn't care about the excessive deduction, alas, when I think of the life in the wasteland, except for the moment when the back sticks to the bed board, it is only when I eat is the happiest......!"
"Foodie!" Kleiner scolded with a smile, although he was talking about other people's foodies, some of the cooked food brought by the fat man did not enter his mouth.
"Well, it's not clothes in my bag, it's ......" The brown-haired boy finally interjected, so he interjected, and opened his backpack, which was full of all kinds of food, of course, these foods were just very ordinary fruits and bread and other things.
"Hah! I guessed it! Who would be stupid enough to bring so many clothes to the wasteland!" Kleiner and the others didn't mind, ha, even if this matter was revealed, the brown-haired boy also came over with the big backpack and distributed the fruit inside to everyone, even Sojes.
The unexpected beginning has an unexpected ending, in general, the atmosphere of this cabin seems to be very harmonious, although Sorjes has nothing in his hand, but so many years of experience as a head of the regiment also made him easily integrated into the environment, because for many years of traveling north and south, his knowledge is not comparable to these ordinary people, speaking of the customs of various places, can always bluff these little turtles stunned.
"Brother Glenn, how remarkable are you to be a sailor for so many years at such a young age!" Kleiner's words were full of admiration, and Sorgers excused himself to be a sailor at the age of sixteen, and the crowd did not doubt him, for the experiences he spoke of did not seem to be made up.
"It's not a big deal, although the money you make as a sailor is okay, but it's also dangerous, and you've been beaten by pirates several times, and if it's not for luck, I'm afraid this life will be lost!" said Sojers, pretending to be afraid.
"That's right, although the wasteland is a little worse, it's not dangerous, well, as long as you don't have any conflicts with the soldiers there, it's basically fine. Kleiner said vaguely.
Sojess thought for a moment, and looked at the brown-haired boy with a somewhat complicated expression, oh, this boy's name is Gerry, but it is a little close to Sojes's pseudonym, so Gerry is the closest to him, so he asked: "Gerry, how did you get here? How old are you to work as a miner?"
Gerry's expression darkened, and he said with some sadness: "Three months ago, my father's leg was bitten by a poisonous snake, although his leg was saved, but he still had difficulty moving, so I came to serve for my father. ”
"No wonder!" The fat man looked at Gerry with some sympathy, but he didn't say anything, this kind of thing has to be experienced sooner or later anyway, and looking at Gerry's personality, he shouldn't get into trouble easily, since he won't get into trouble, there is no problem except that he will get tired easily.
