In fact, the things drawn are very simple, only the zodiac signs, but Zhang Tan still wants it very much.

As orphans, they have no money. Not a single copper coin. They can only bend their necks and brave the cold wind to watch other people's parents buy candy paintings for their children.

Zhang Tan was very envious. She asked Zhang Wei:

"Brother, we don't have sugar paintings to eat, is it because we don't have parents?"

Zhang Wei couldn't answer her.

He was tempted to say no, they didn't have candy paintings to eat just because they didn't have the money. But he can't say that.

They don't have parents anymore, and Zhang Wei doesn't want his sister to feel that they don't have a lot of things besides their parents.

So he said, "Of course not." My brother promised you that when I came out next time, my brother would buy you a candy painting. ”

Zhang Tan's eyes were shining.

She believed her brother, who never lied to her.

Zhang Wei felt a lot of pressure at this moment.

He took Zhang Tan back to the orphanage, where the director was looking for them with the other teachers.

After seeing Zhang Wei, she first breathed a sigh of relief, and then beat Zhang Wei violently.

She told Zhang Wei that it was not as good outside as before, and told him not to run around, especially not to run around with Zhang Tan.

Otherwise, once she is caught by someone with bad intentions, even she has no choice.

Looking at the wrinkles in the corners of the dean's eyes, Zhang Wei, who originally wanted to ask the dean for a little money, swallowed his words back.

He is already a big child, how can he ask the dean for money at every turn?

Zhang Wei decided that he wanted to earn a little for himself.

The first thing that came to his mind was the mine under their orphanage.

He heard workers say that they could get at least three copper coins a day in the mines.

He and his sister only need one copper coin to buy two sugar paintings, so he only needs to go for one day to earn money for his sister to buy sugar paintings.

Zhang Wei didn't tell anyone about his plans.

He quietly observed the mining workers, prepared his own tools, crawled out of the bed one night, and took Zhang Tan to the mine without telling the dean.

The night was very dark, and Zhang Tan cowered in the corner, feeling a little panicked.

"Brother, are we really going to mine?"

Zhang Wei: "If you want to eat candy paintings, we have to do it." ”

Zhang Tan remembered the soft and sticky sugar painting and chose to compromise.

She squatted at the entrance of the mine, watched Zhang Wei walk into the mine with a lamp above her head, swallowed saliva, and cried:

"Brother, you have to come back quickly, I'm scared here alone."

Zhang Weitou didn't reply: "Don't worry, it won't be too long." ”

He just wanted to make money to buy candy paintings, and he didn't want to stay in it for long.

It's just that he walked inside with the lights on, and felt that things were not quite what he imagined.

The cave stinks, there is a smell of corruption, and human bones can be seen from time to time.

Zhang Wei thought of those people who disappeared from mining, and the adults said that they stayed in the mine, did they not stay in the mine to make money, but actually died in the mine?

There was a gust of wind in the depths of the mine, which made Zhang Wei feel very cold.

The further he went, the more sure he was of his thoughts. And he said, "Where is there any way to make money?" These people are not making money, they are exchanging their lives for money!

Zhang Wei turned around and ran, stumbling out of the hole.

Before he could dry his cold sweat, he heard Zhang Tan's whispered whimper.

Zhang Wei will not forget that night.

He saw many people wearing gas masks.

That's the people in the upper city, he knows. Only people from the upper town come here to wear that strange mouse-like mask.

When they came during the day, they seemed very kind, and even gave him a piece of strawberry-flavored candy.

But now, they're completely different.

They are armed with scythes and frantically harvest human lives.

The children in the orphanage were still in their pajamas, crying and screaming, running around like frightened birds.

The dean had already collapsed at the door of the orphanage.

Her eyes widened, her body didn't know where she had gone, and she still maintained the surprise she had when she was dying.

She will never care where Zhang Wei runs away anymore.

She couldn't take care of it anymore.

Zhang Wei covered Zhang Tan's mouth and sat at the mouth of the mine, not daring to speak, not daring to move, and not daring to let go of his hand.

The only thing he could catch was Zhang Tan, and at this moment, he just wanted to catch Zhang Tan.

I don't know how long it took for the devil to leave here, and he didn't know when he sat on top of the ruins of the orphanage, looking at the burning embers of the flames, and smiled.

He remembered everyone, and he will always remember these people.

Zhang Tan can only cry.

She sat in Zhang Wei's arms, didn't dare to ask anything, didn't dare to say anything, only cried quietly one by one, and called the names of people she could name.

No one answered her.

No one could answer her.

It wasn't until the tavern owner found this place and fished them out of this pile of flesh and blood that Zhang Wei felt as if he was alive, and Zhang Tan dared to cry loudly.

"What are you doing?"

Congressman Deng Bo's words brought Zhang Wei back to his senses.

Only then did he realize that he didn't know when he reached out and pinched his neck.

Gu Huai didn't even stop him.

Zhang Wei broke out in a cold sweat.

This time, he thought, was over.

He sabotaged Gu Huai's plan.

They were now in Uptown, in the territory of their 'superior people', the ants they could pinch to death at will—just like that night many years ago.

Zhang Wei wanted to strangle Deng Bo before he died, but he still let go.

"What were you just doing?"

Dumbo can become a councillor, and he definitely doesn't have a simple mind. He sensed that Zhang Wei had murderous intent towards him at that moment. He even immediately doubted Gu Huai's motives.

He thought that Gu Huai had intentionally or unintentionally led him to the science and technology magic laboratory, maybe he had some conspiracy.

Thinking of this, Dembo almost immediately halted his plans to visit.

He looked at Zhang Wei and waited for the other party to give him an answer.

Gu Huai knew that if he didn't give him a satisfactory answer, he would inevitably lose Deng Bo's trust.

"He's a runaway magician."

Gu Huai pulled Zhang Wei behind him: "He's dangerous, don't provoke him." ”

Dumbo remained skeptical.

He looked at Gu Huai: "Are you sure?" ”

The magician who is out of control should also use magic, but what Zhang Wei used just now has nothing to do with magic.

He used physical strength, a method that only the untouchables of the lower city would use.

"Are you suspicious of me?" Gu Huai didn't answer this time. He asked Deng Bo rhetorically, very displeased.

Instead of being a little less suspicious of his reaction.

If Gu Huai was in a hurry to explain, he felt that it was wrong. Seeing that Gu Huai was really anxious, Deng Bo said:

"Don't be angry, and speaking of which, I'm the victim."

Gu Huai did not object. He snorted and said to Zhang Wei, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

Stay, according to Zhang Wei's current psychological state, it is difficult not to show his stuffing.
