Chapter 16: Neighbor Partners
In the alley outside Murray's house, a group of boys and girls of Murray's age watched a beautiful big sister walk out of Murray's house, which really surprised everyone.
The neighbors knew very well that Murray had always lived alone, and that he was an orphan with no family.
Because of his status as an orphan, Murray can only rely on himself, so he will enter the factory that most people avoid as a small handyman.
But now, the neighbors' understanding of Murray was suddenly subverted, and a woman dressed as a big sister next door walked out of his house.
I don't know how long I was stunned, but Salia came back to her senses first, and greeted everyone with a smile: "Hi, good morning everyone, first time we met, I am Mori's distant cousin, and I came to see him." ”
"Distant cousin" still seems very suspicious, but such an answer is obviously approved by the boys and girls present.
A girl with a double ponytail was the first to stand up and say, "Hello cousin, we are Murry's neighbors, my name is 'Alice'. ”
Salia responded with a very friendly smile: "Hello Alice, I heard Murry say that you always take care of him, thank you so much." ”
When Alice heard this, she subconsciously glanced at Moli, a baby face instantly appeared a touch of red, and the pink look looked very cute, adjusted her breathing, but still said a little twisted: "No, sister, I, I actually didn't take much care of him, the main thing is that he is too stupid and always makes a mess of his life." ”
Sariya narrowed her eyes and looked at Murry with a thick smile: "Very good, then a beautiful girl like you needs to take care of him even more." ”
Although Saliya had a deep smile on her face, Murray couldn't help but shudder in her heart when she saw her gaze.
At this time, an honest boy stood up and said, "Cousin, cousin, cousin, I, my name, my name, Andrew." ”
It can be seen that the honest boy is very nervous when facing Saria, so he can't even speak in complete sentences.
Seeing Andrew's appearance, everyone couldn't help laughing, and Alice said unceremoniously: "Cousin, don't be surprised, Andrew is like this, every time he sees a beautiful girl, he stutters." ”
Immediately after, another tall and strong boy stood up and said, "Hello sister, I'm Kane." ”
The three neighbors saluted Saliya separately, and they all said their respective names, which can be regarded as a preliminary acquaintance with Saria.
Salia smiled and said, "It seems that you should be Murry's friends here, so I hope you will still be good friends in the future." ”
Saria's words were a pun, but the three neighbors didn't hear it, but Murray gave the witch a deep look.
"Bell Ring" Just when a group of people greeted each other and quickly chatted hotly, a crisp bell suddenly sounded at the entrance of the alley.
Immediately afterward, I heard a very inopportune voice: "Look who this is? Isn't this the little handyman of the factory, Murray?"
Everyone looked up and saw a group of bicycles wearing bicycles and pushing wheels through the alley.
When Alice saw the boy in charge, she immediately stood up and shouted, "Sutu, you dare to stop at the entrance of the alley again, have you forgotten the taste of Kane's fist?"
Kane stepped forward very cooperatively, showed his burly body and said in a deep voice, "Sutu, you little bastard, are you here to find a beating?"
Seeing Kane stand up, the group of boys who stopped at the entrance of the alley suddenly showed fear in their eyes.
Su Tu, who was the leader, took a deep look at everyone in the alley and said, "Hmph, you three walk with the little handyman who serves the devil, sooner or later you will be dedicated to the devil by him, and it will be up to you what you do when the time comes." ”
After the shouting, Sutu and the group of boys did not stop in the slightest, and immediately pedaled their bicycles and quickly left the mouth of the alley.
Seeing such a scene, there was no need to ask at all, and Sariya could guess the reason for the matter.
Throughout the Solar Empire, despite the Industrial Revolution advancing industry and factories being built everywhere, the population was still repulsive towards industry.
As Sutu cried out, industry remained a blasphemous devil in the eyes of most of the Empire's populace.
Naturally, Murray, a handyman who goes in and out of the factory, will be ostracized by his peers, and will be regarded as a servant of the devil by most children of his age.
Even if Murray has a power that they can't match, this kind of thing is often not something that can be solved by strength alone.
Saria looked at the calm Mori, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for such Mori, what kind of insults and ridicules did he endure?
Alice walked up to Salia at this time and comforted in a low voice: "Don't be angry, cousin, those guys are handed over to Kane, and he will clean them up at the warrior school." ”
Hearing this, Salia looked at Kane and smiled, "Yes, I really want to thank you, Kane, but you have to be careful not to break the school rules, because those bad boys are not worth the punishment." ”
Receiving the smile of the beautiful big sister, Kane was suddenly encouraged, grinned and said, "Sister don't worry, I will definitely clean them up." ”
Andrew stepped forward at this time and said: "Kane, don't shoot casually, you have already been demerit by the school for fighting, and you will be expelled if you do it again." ”
Kane looked at Andrew and responded disappreciatively: "Hmph, what are you afraid of, don't worry, you coward, I won't implicate you." ”
Andrew blushed when he heard this and said, "I, I didn't mean that, Kane, many things can't be solved by brute force alone. ”
Kane continued dismissively, "yes, our little accountant, you certainly can't use brute force, but I don't count, I can only use my fists to shut up those guys." ”
This sentence has an obvious mocking connotation, it is a mockery that Andrew went to an ordinary academy and is a coward who is afraid to go to war.
Andrew was even more annoyed when he heard this, rolled up his sleeves, and put on a desperate posture with Kane.
Seeing this, Alice hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade: "Okay, you two, we are good friends, how can you beat your own people?"
Seeing the boys and girls of the three neighbors, and then looking at Murray standing on the side, Salia suddenly felt that Murray was obviously out of place with them, and she really couldn't understand how Murray became friends with these three neighbors?
Just when Andrew and Kane were already about to collide despite the dissuasion, Murray suddenly spoke: "Okay, you three hurry up and go to school." ”
A scene that Sariya didn't expect at all appeared, just a simple sentence that immediately made Andrew and Kane stop.
After that, the three boys and girls greeted Saria, said goodbye to Murray, and then rode out of the alley on their bicycles.
As the boy and girl passed by, Saria suddenly saw that the bicycle they were pushing was completely different from the one at the entrance of the alley.
The bicycle at the entrance of the alley before was the same as the one the witch saw on the Imperial Capital Street, the wheels in front were big and the wheels in the back were small, but the bicycle that Alice was riding in front of them was the same size as two wheels, and it was polished very smooth, and it was more stable to ride.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the witch's surprised expression, and Murray said calmly: "These three bicycles are modified by me for them, and they look more stable and can be less laborious to ride." ”
Hearing this, Salia was stunned for a moment, and then saw that Murray was always staring at the backs of the three departing neighbors, so she smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
In Saria's view, Murray must be envious of his three neighbors who can ride their bicycles to school every day, while he himself has to work in a factory to survive at the same age.
Unexpectedly, Murray responded very calmly: "There is nothing to envy, we have made an appointment to go to the Royal Academy together." ”
