Chapter 96. Act II 8 Tiny Dust

Ten minutes later, Zhou Jinru, who had just been lying down, was forced to roll over and look at the lion beside him helplessly.

The lion was dissatisfied: "What's the matter with you? ”

"I want to ask you, what's the matter with you?"

Zhou Jinru grabbed his belt and complained: "Why did you reach out and touch my belt?!" ”

Vina was surprised, "Are you used to sleeping with your clothes on?" ”

"No, that's not what I meant!"

Zhou Jinru was not worried about taking off his clothes at all, but that Vena's attack was more rapid than before.

"Explain in advance, when we enter the sitcom, we can't do anything, you and I don't know each other at all, you are the royal family of Victoria, I am just a valet of the Shivaish family, the class difference is too big, what can you do, say it now."

"Yes."

Vena strained her waist, sat up from the bed, and crossed her legs: "I'll tell you a secret, you use this secret to find me, I will definitely meet you, by the way, I should appear in the Church of Tranquility, as for what kind of excuse to make up, this is what you are good at, I don't need to say more." ”

Zhou Jinru was familiar with this method, and he listened to what Vina said later about making up excuses and the like, and he didn't take it seriously.

The lion's wrist flipped, and a rivet appeared in the palm of his hand, and the hard edges and corners were smoothed out due to the long-term friction.

"You remember its shape and the letters engraved on the inside, these are only known to me, I have the same thing in the sitcom, you tell these secrets, it is enough to gain my trust, and you can do the rest."

Zhou Jinru picked up the rivet in Vena's palm, weighed it, and asked rhetorically: "Then what is the purpose of you entering the sitcom with me, and you can't move freely there." ”

"Purpose?"

The corners of Vina's mouth turned up slightly: "I won't tell you." ”

If you don't say it, don't say it, Zhou Jinru won't ask more, and after returning the rivets to Vina, he lay down again and said in a low voice: "You are not allowed to touch my belt lock again, otherwise I will change rooms tonight." ”

"Hmph."

……

……

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Jinru was shaken awake, he suddenly opened his eyes, and found that it was already daytime, thick clouds were suspended in the sky, the sunlight could not reach the ground, the cold wind blew on his body, firmly penetrated into his clothes, and the chill was cold.

He had already entered the show, but unlike the previous times, he didn't get any hints, not even instructions for the show.

Glancing at the street sign not far away, he was sitting in a horse-drawn carriage, located on the edge of the Eastern Region, with the central city behind him, and it was clear that he had come here for a purpose.

"Sir! Mr! ”

The man who woke him up was none other than the coachman, a middle-aged man in thick overalls, with anxious eyes in his sunken sockets, wrinkles on his face, and exhaustion that could not be concealed.

"Here's your fare, plus tips."

Zhou Jinru took out his wallet, took out a shilling note and handed it to him, which was more than enough to pay the fare.

He grabbed the cane leaning on the inside of the carriage, listened to the thanks of the coachman in his ear, and suddenly asked, "How do you know that I am asleep?" ”

In fact, out of politeness and to avoid trouble, the driver should knock on the door of the carriage to wake up the sleeping passengers, and should not shake the other person.

"Sir, this is what you commanded."

The driver was a little uneasy, and if he was complained, he could face a hefty penalty.

It's not lying, it seems that it was indeed "me" ordered, the world of sitcoms is a little strange, even if I don't "go online", I will run on my own, is there really such a magical technology? Can it support multiplayer "online" playing, and will also give birth to many plots?

Zhou Jinru did not embarrass the coachman, turned around and walked to the police station in the Eastern Region, the only place he could go here was there, not to turn himself in, let alone to cause trouble, the police station had his old friends.

It shouldn't be an old friend, otherwise he will be beaten by Chen sir, the two took wedding photos, this is not something that ordinary friends can do, Superintendent Chen looks very cold, I'm afraid I have even thought about the name of the child in my heart.

After walking for a while, Zhou Jinru stood outside the door of the police station, stretched out his hand to push the door open, but a hand stretched out from behind him, grabbed in front of him and pushed the door open, and a tall figure stood beside him.

"Zhou, such a coincidence?" Xingxiong, who was dressed in a small dress, held a wrapped gift, "Then let's go together." ”

Zhou Jinru stood still and didn't move: "Madame, please first." ”

"Ha, no one here has ever treated me like a lady."

Xingxiong laughed, did not refuse Zhou Jinru's kindness, and walked in first, and her arrival immediately attracted the attention of the office staff in the police station.

After all, Xingxiong's identity is the number one thug of the local underground forces, and it is normal for him to visit the number one person on the police station list...... Zhou Jinru felt that he might have been taken into the ditch by Xingxiong, they were not all the way, and as a result, they appeared at the same time twice in a row, even if it was a coincidence, no one might believe it.

"Everyone, don't be nervous, I just gave Miss Chen a gift, she definitely didn't tell you that today is her birthday."

Star Bear raised her hands, which she still cared for the gift, and her words made the staff present whisper.

"Is it Chief Chen's birthday today?"

"She never said it, not even on the file, it can't be true."

"I think it's very likely that Chief Chen's fiancΓ© is also here."

Soon someone turned their attention to Zhou Jinru who was standing at the door, he was stupid at the time, and said that Chen Sir's birthday is not today, is it something derived from a sitcom, or is Xingxiong playing this room of people?

Just as everyone was talking to each other, the closed door of the office of the person in charge of the police station opened, and Chen, who was wearing a straight police station uniform, stood at the door, with his back against the door frame, and a pair of sharp eyes stared directly at Xingxiong: "Ms. Xingxiong, are you mistaken, today is not my birthday, you better find someone who is willing to accept this gift." ”

"yes, it's not your birthday?"

Xingxiong showed a surprised expression, and then suddenly realized: "So that's the case, it seems that I remembered wrong, but this birthday gift is indeed for you, I heard that you like to eat fruit cakes, and I went to wait in line for two hours, you see......"

Chen's face was not very good-looking, and he emphasized: "Our relationship doesn't look good, you are your white glove, I am my superintendent, when will the mouse be able to celebrate the cat's birthday?" ”

"Wow, I'm really sad when you say that."

Xingxiong showed a disappointed expression, and casually handed the cake box to Zhou Jinru beside him: "I'm tired, help me get it." ”

She quickly turned and ran out of the police station and never returned.

A few minutes later, Zhou Jinru walked into Chen Sir's office and saw an ashtray next to her desk with a half-burned lady's cigarette pressed inside.

"Smoking is bad for your health."

Chen glanced at him: "I wish I could live until the day when tobacco could hurt me." ”

Seeing that Zhou Jinru's expression was not good-looking, the person in charge of the police station hugged his arms uneasily: "I'll pay attention, I've been under a lot of pressure recently." ”

Zhou Jinru didn't speak, put the cake sent by Xingxiong on her desk, pulled over the chair and sat down, he noticed that there was an extra picture frame next to the documents stacked in the corner of the desk.

"You want to see it?"

Chen pretended to be indifferent, and flipped the frame over, and inside was a photo of a girl in a white wedding dress leaning next to her fiancΓ©, her blushing cheeks filled with a happy smile.

"I ......"

"It's none of your business, I just think it's pretty good, really."

She brace her spirits and say something that doesn't feel right.

Why do I feel heartache in the sitcom?

Zhou Jinru took a deep breath, he found that he could no longer continue to play, the girl in front of him, she was strong, she was shouldering the responsibility, how should she answer the glitter in her eyes?

"Maybe you're right, smoking is really bad, I've heard a friend who works in a hospital say that you shouldn't smoke when you're trying to get pregnant or have a baby, but when you think about it, it's still far away...... Oops, what the hell am I talking about? ”

Chen Qiang resisted the urge to reach out and cover his face, put on a straight face, and tried to find his rhythm: "Okay, let's get down to business, last time you said that you wanted information about the survivors who lost their families in the fire, I compiled some of them, and now there are only six survivors who are still in Lentinium, all of them are here." ”

Zhou Jinru took it and took a look, all six people seemed to be in the Eastern Region, after the fire, during the two years, they had no chance to change their fate, but the Eastern Region is always a decent civilian area, not a chaotic slum, if you want to live well, it is not too difficult.

"Thank you."

"Go by yourself, I don't have time."

Chen pointed to the unresolved papers.

Zhou Jinru stood up, and when he walked to the door, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you have time at night?" ”

"I don't know, if I can solve this, there should be, don't get your hopes up."

The moment he walked out of the police station, the corners of Zhou Jinru's mouth couldn't help laughing, but this laughter was extremely bitter, he looked at the clouds in the sky, and it took a long time before he took a step.

"I'm really not a scumbag, why ......"

The howling wind seemed to laugh at his muttering.

……

……

John Sr. is a factory worker, and every afternoon during his ten-minute break, he would squat in the corner of the factory grounds, smoking a cigarette, and the spicy smoke of inferior cigarettes would be inhaled into his lungs, and he would not help but recall his life two years ago, which was the most nostalgic day of his life.

At that time, he had a happy family, a lovely wife, and a four-year-old son, and every day was so happy, the wife would prepare dinner and wait for her husband to get off work, and the son would wait for his father to come back at the door.

The smoke cleared, the nostalgia in Old John's eyes disappeared little by little, and his happiness came to an abrupt end two years ago, a fire, and he lost his house, his savings, his family, and everything.

"John! John! ”

Suddenly, he heard the leader of the workshop group calling his name, there were many John, Charlie, and Henry in the workshop, but he was the only one resting.

"Here, I'm already resting!"

John didn't dare to stop, turned around and walked back, to his surprise, the leader of the group was not particularly anxious, and he was also carrying a person, it was a man in a long black trench coat, holding a cane in his hand, as if he had come specifically to find him, but he did not know this young man.

Is this tired middle-aged man in front of him really the John in the file?

For a moment, Zhou Jinru thought that he had found the wrong person, he carefully compared the black and white photos, and he could basically get it right, but now John is even older, 12 hours a day of physical labor destroys this man's physical health, fatigue continues to accumulate, high-intensity labor makes him have no respite, let alone rest.

Two hundred years ago, there was no social security system in the world of Terra, and even two hundred years later, the era of mobile cities was not perfect, and the man named John in front of him had to work non-stop, work non-stop, and earn a pitiful amount of money from the factory owner, because he had a mentally deranged wife, and a severely burned son who needed food and housing.

The fire two years ago destroyed his family and changed his fate, and he was originally a decent person until he was knocked down a class.

"Sir?"

"Hello."

Zhou Jinru didn't care about John's puzzled look, and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, which made John feel both familiar and unfamiliar, he wanted to reach out to hold the right hand, but he felt in a trance and didn't act for a long time.

"John!"

The leader of the workshop team urged, and John reacted, reached out and wiped it on the old work clothes, quickly held Zhou Jinru's right hand, and immediately let go, not daring to stop for a while.

"My lord is the patriarch of the Shivaesh family, and he is a key member of the Lentinium Disaster Response Foundation, and we found your name when we checked the list of survivors of that fire two years ago."

Zhou Jinru specially asked the organization that erected the stone tablet, and when he learned that Yinshen was also one of the founders, he already had an idea in his heart.

John hesitated, "What do you mean?" ”

Two years ago, he did receive a grant from the foundation, but it was a drop in the bucket in the face of high medical expenses.

"The Foundation is drawing up a list of people in need to provide some help.

John listened to what Zhou Jinru said, and saw the document in his hand again, his eyes lit up, and even the fatigue was swept away, if there was help from the Foundation, their family's life should be a little better, even if it was just a little, it was better than nothing.

He quickly signed the list and thanked him repeatedly, and even the workshop team leader was amazed by the Foundation's humanitarian spirit.

……

……

"You don't have to help them."

Zhou Jinru was sorting through four registration forms, and he found that the survivors needed help to a greater or lesser extent, and that the fire had caused too much pain and sorrow.

Suddenly, a man's deep voice sounded in his ear.

Zhou Jinru looked around and found nothing.

"Don't look at it, I'm ......"

"Lighthouse."

A bright light drowned out the noisy sound in his ears.
