Chapter 100: The Orphans of the Lower Districts
"Who?" Kaito looked vigilantly in the direction where the voice came from, and a small black shadow was startled and fled towards the depths of the alley.
But just a moment later, there was the sound of something collapsing, followed by a childish wail.
The three of them hurriedly chased after him, only to see that in the alley, under a pile of collapsed garbage, an unkempt little boy was crushed on his right leg and sobbed quietly.
Seeing the three people, the little boy was a little panicked and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to peek at your ......"
After Yu Hao and Kaito reached out to remove the garbage that was holding the boy away, Serena crouched down and carefully examined the boy's wounds.
After seeing that the boy was fine, just a little skin injury, Selena helped the boy up and asked, "It's dangerous to wander around alone outside so late, what about the adults in your family?" ”
"You...... Are you guys on TV? A D-round player like Croco? After making sure that You Hao and the three of them had no malicious intent, the little boy became very excited and asked curiously.
"That's right." You Hao nodded, "Where is your home, let's send you back, it's very dangerous to wander around alone at such a late hour." ”
"Brother Crowe and Brother Ya Ya were taken away by the Public Security Bureau, and the food he left behind is about the same, if I don't come out to find something to eat, my younger brothers and sisters will be hungry tomorrow." The little boy said.
"Has the city reached this point?" Before the war began, Xinyuan had never had a child who needed to rummage through garbage to fill his stomach, even if it was an orphan whose parents died, Xinyuan had a sound social welfare system to ensure that the child could grow up healthily.
Selena took out two rice balls prepared by Aunt Yuko from her pocket and handed them to the little boy, who took them and thanked them repeatedly, but after only a few bites, he carefully tried to put them away.
"That's all you need to eat?" You Hao frowned.
"That's enough, my brothers and sisters haven't eaten yet, I'm the oldest, Brother Croce isn't here, I have to take care of them." The little boy is colorful.
"Don't be reckless if you're still a little ghost, eat these two, take us to where you live, we still have something to eat." You Hao said, not to mention anything else, the hamburgers and rice balls he drew by lottery during this period of time have no problem at all to feed a group of imps for a period of time.
The little boy thought about it for a while, then nodded, in his simple concept, people who were willing to help him and give him food must not be bad people.
You Hao carried the little boy into the back seat of the D wheel, and under his guidance, the three of them soon came to a dilapidated but quiet very strange courtyard, and the little boy jumped out of the car and made a few strange dog barks.
Then, several small heads came out from all over the courtyard and slowly converged.
"Frank, who are they? Didn't Brother Crowe let us have casual contact with strangers? A little girl said timidly.
"They seem to be the ones who brought down the bad guys from the vigilante today." Another, slightly older child said.
"That's right, Brother You Hao, Brother Kuaidou, and Sister Serena, like Brother Cro, are all very powerful duelists!" Frank said.
"And that group of very bad sheriffs can't do anything about them." Another little boy said.
The children's minds are very pure, and the people in the Security Bureau who show off their might to them on weekdays and forcibly take away their nanny Crow are bad people, so the people who can make the Security Bureau deflated must be good people.
After You Hao took out a few rice balls from the small locker on the side of the D wheel and gave them to the children, the relationship between the group of children and You Hao and the three of them also became familiar.
The courtyard was a little cold at night, and You Hao saw that there were traces of burning in the center of the courtyard, and there was a large pile of firewood in the corner of the courtyard, so he lit a bonfire in the courtyard.
After a while, the temperature of the small courtyard rose, and the children also moved out of the quilts, and they also prepared a cover for You Hao and the three of them.
Afterwards, the children began to play with a pile of old cards.
"Sister Serena, how do you pronounce this word?" After a while, a child took a card and pulled La Serena's sleeve.
After answering the child's question, Serena looked at You Hao with a frown, and whispered, "They should be old enough to go to school." ”
"I'm afraid that the basic reading, writing and arithmetic of the people at the bottom of this city are learned by watching dueling monsters." You Hao said, "In our opinion, the most basic food, clothing and education are very luxurious things for the civilians of this dimension, and it may be better if their parents are still there, but for these orphans, it is not easy to just live." ”
"Frank." You Hao called the child at the beginning, touched his head, and asked, "Do you have any dreams?" ”
"I want to be the best D round player in the world!" Frank said without even thinking about it.
"Why?" You Hao asked patiently.
"In this way, I can become a KING like Jack Atlas, and my younger siblings can live a good life." Frank said.
"Jack Atlas?" You Hao chuckled, "Do you think he's very powerful?" ”
"Of course, he's the KING who came out of our civilians, and even the people at the top worship him." At the mention of Jack, Frank looked proud, proud of Jack's achievements.
"But what if I say he's just a clown with a pacifier." You Hao said.
Frank was stunned when he heard this, and then his little face turned red with anger, and he wanted to argue a few words, but was covered by You Hao.
"Don't rush to refute just yet." You Hao motioned for him to be quiet and then said slowly: "If there is a person who has a lot of sugar, and you don't have a single sugar, and there are many people like you who don't have a single sugar, so one day the person with a lot of sugar took out one of his countless candies and put it in front of you and the person who didn't have a single candy like you, and told you, the person who listens to him the most can get this candy, will you envy the person who gets this candy?" ”
Although Frank listened ignorantly, he still shook his head, "No, Brother Crowe taught us that we can't sell our dignity because of something." ”
"Then why do you think Jack is amazing? He's just the one who got the candy. You Hao said.
