Chapter 495: The Past (4)
As the days passed, Hart's skinny body was undernourished for a long time. He used to be skinny, but at that time he was already a piece of paper - weak and impervious!
He looked like he was drugged, groggy, and several times he felt like he was dying of hunger!
But no, he quickly found the skills to survive in this impoverished environment. That's picking up the rags.
In the beginning, he was successful, so to speak!
Because at that time, he wandered the streets and alleys all day long, but his body was full of bottles. Although he looked unusually thin, he was able to carry so many bottles.
The bottles swayed as he walked, and Hart ran like a lost puppy from place to place.
What is filthy to an outsider is a vault to him, that is a garbage dump, or a garbage can.
Normal people would not dare to approach such a place at all, and even hide from it like a plague.
But Hart seems to have practiced Qigong and can freely shuttle through the smelly garbage dump. And he can find his wealth in it.
Soon, he handed over the bottles he had collected that day to the Collector, and the Collector did not look down on Hart because he was thin and looked down on him, so he didn't fill his pocket, and gave him all that Hart deserved.
That was the first time Hart had gotten money, and that was the first time he had received money from someone else.
He couldn't even believe his eyes when he took the money with his dirty little hands.
Afterwards, he had a full meal and soon found hope of living.
As a homeless man, Hart often goes in and out of various places, so he knows where there is garbage to sell for money, and where to eat and drink.
Because of this, he has a good relationship with the boss who collects the rags. The tattered man couldn't bear to look at Hart's appearance, and explained three times and twice that he could not mind adopting Hart and providing him with three meals a day.
But Hart refused, he knew that the boss was for his own good, but he really couldn't bear to let go of another person.
In fact, it is not a human, it is a dog that has been abused by the world! The most loyal animal of man!
In that period of poverty, it was not only people but also animals that roamed the streets.
And when Hart was looking for recyclable cans and bottles, he met those small animals that were looking for food, and he didn't hesitate to give them.
Because of Hart's inadvertent little action, these animals silently decided in their hearts that he was their master.
In addition, Hart's daily income is not much, but he can still have a full stomach. Even if you add one more animal, you can afford it!
Since then, his intimate contact with these animals has been inseparable, and he has gradually developed feelings.
However, this peaceful phenomenon lasted only three years, when Hart was eight years old.
As usual, he took a large group of his pets in search of food, and while also looking for recyclable resources, he met his peers.
To put it bluntly, it is a homeless person who is also wandering in the city.
They found him because of Hart.
The reason is very simple, because of Hart's diligence, he has taken all the recyclable resources on the nearby streets. And in the eyes of these peers, it is robbery! Under their consultation, they plan to clean up Hart.
There is nothing surprising that in this kind of era, those who can survive are the strong!
Hart was eight years old at the time, and his body and physique had slowly grown through years of hard work. However, he was not ready to fight when he thought about how to survive all day long, and when he saw these people appear in front of him, his first thought was: Run!
However, the pets that followed him were not what he had thought, and from time to time they let out that posture of preparing to attack, including their dull roars, and were not as cowardly as Hart.
In fact, Hart wanted to run at that time, but it was too late, and it was already a sure thing!
Because, the two alleys in front and back have been blocked, and he has no way to escape.
These homeless men all had blunt sticks and the like on their hands, and even if Hart was bold, he was eight years old and broke out in a cold sweat because of the situation at that time.
Those people told him how hateful he had been. Tell him how hard it was when he shouldn't have done it, how hard their lives were after Hart robbed them of their jobs.
Then he was beaten violently.
Dogs are not afraid of this posture. On the contrary, their instincts come to the fore at this time. They only have the thought of "protecting their master" in their minds, so they rebel.
At that time, Hart was already planning to bear all this, holding his head in the corner, waiting for the storm to pass. But the terrible barking of the dogs sounded in his ears, and after the sound pricked his eardrums, he began to become excited.
In the midst of a violent beating, I don't know who gave him a stick, and then he fell to the ground. Then, all of his pets were killed by his peers.
Half-asleep, Hart also heard that these people were going to treat their pets as snacks and as their dinner tonight.
But at that time, it was too late for him to do anything. Because, with his head broken and bleeding, he is already powerless.
These are Hart's chronicles, but after becoming a knight, he came into contact with Angel and was gradually accepted and infected by her generosity. He is attached to Angel's smiling face, so he disguises himself as a clown.
In fact, he doesn't have to deliberately disguise himself as a clown, Angel will laugh.
"And what are you going to do?" Hart asked Amito.
This time, it was Amito's turn to talk about his future. Of course, the others also looked at him with an expectant eye, looking forward to his dreams.
"I," said Amito, looking at the night sky, "I used to dream of being an alcoholic! Make your own, eat what you grow, and live a carefree life. ”
"......" the crowd fell silent.
There is only one reason for their silence, and that is that Amito's dreams are mundane and not a little shocking.
Compared to the previous dreams of Dodd and Hart, Amito is not worth mentioning at all.
"Uh... I'm offended," interrupted Amito, "don't you think that if you do this, you feel like you're killing a chicken with a knife?
"No, I can do something that no one else can do with my knighthood. For example, it is okay to pick some rare species, sell them in the city, and then bring your own remuneration and buy some necessities, go back to your own home, and continue to live your life!" Amito replied very calmly.
