Rainy day.

Countless icy driths fell from the sky, and everything around them, along with the air, was wet.

It's one of the few quieter and sparsely populated places in the city: the garbage dump.

Cold searchlights sweep over mountains of garbage, and red warning neon signs in the distance warn scavengers that even if there is only garbage, it is not a safe place.

But even so, it still can't stop some slum scavengers from coming here under the cover of night to find something to use.

Xu Zhi was woken up by freezing, and when she just woke up, her brain was still in chaos, she couldn't think of anything, she just felt very cold, very sleepy, and her whole body hurt, especially her brain was like a mess.

The cold raindrops hit her and didn't make any waves, she could only feel that her dying life was slowly passing, if she didn't find a way to get out of here to shelter from the rain and warm her body a little, she might be taken away by this rain.

However, even though her brain was urging her to get out of here quickly and get moving, in fact, Xu Zhi couldn't even open her eyelids.

His body was heavy, weak, his limbs seemed not to be his own, he tried to hook his fingers but couldn't feel where the "hand" was, and he tried with all his strength to open his eyes, but his eyelids trembled slightly.

Her brain was in a state of chaos, and even thinking had become quite difficult, and she had only been awake for half a minute before she felt as if she was about to faint again.

It's just that if you faint here like this, you'll die, right?

A burst of panic came, Xu Zhi lying on the garbage heap didn't know why she was so flustered, the strong exhaustion made her want to sleep obediently, but the desire to survive in her heart was pulling her, making her unwilling to give up struggling with her lazy thoughts.

Just when Xu Zhi was in pain about this, a sound suddenly came from the side, this sound that was extremely subtle on weekdays sounded like thunder in Xu Zhi's ears, making her eyelashes suddenly tremble slightly, realizing that there might be something beside her, or. Person.

Although his brain was chaotic and he couldn't remember anything, Xu Zhi still subconsciously tried to open his eyes.

So in the chaos, she trembled her eyelashes with all her might, opened her eyes slightly, and then saw a blurry figure coiled up from the garbage heap, she seemed to be holding a bag in her hand, and her movements became stiff when she saw a person on the garbage heap.

It's a woman.

Can't see his face clearly, Xu Zhi's eyes seem to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and it seems to be deeply myopia.

The action of opening her eyes seemed to consume too much of her strength, and she couldn't hold on for a few more seconds, Xu Zhi closed her eyelids uncontrollably, and her consciousness sank into the abyss again.

In the last second of losing consciousness, she seemed to see the woman hesitate for a moment, but still moved a little closer to her.

What does she want to do?

didn't have time to think about this problem, Xu Zhi had already fallen into a coma again.

In the third garbage dump, an adult woman carried the unconscious girl with a little effort, because the girl fell into a coma and could not focus on herself, her strength was not great, so she also tied the girl's body with a few ropes and tied it to herself, so as to avoid the rain and slippery on the road, she accidentally stumbled and fell to the ground.

The bag she had in her hand was empty, indicating that she had found nothing tonight except for a dying girl in the garbage heap.

After all, she had just gone out, and only on such a rainy night would others be reluctant to come, and ordinary people like her who were powerless could also gain something.

It's just not tonight.

With some difficulty, the woman carried the girl on her back step by step, avoiding the searchlight, and walked towards the outside of the garbage dump.

The third garbage dump is very large, and in addition to the garbage from the plain area, some of the garbage from the lower layers will also be dumped here, so the third garbage dump is very popular among the waste pickers.

Even on such a rainy day, it is already a relatively sparsely populated night, and you can still see the scavengers walking in sporadically when you leave.

She came early to avoid clashes with the scavengers who followed, as she couldn't beat them.

The scavengers were all indifferent and defensive, and when they saw the shriveled bag in the woman's hand and made sure that she hadn't picked anything up, no one stepped forward to embarrass her.

When it is not profitable, no one wants to have nothing to do with themselves.

As rats in the city's sewers, they struggle to survive by eating the garbage produced in the city, and they are constantly vigilant about whether disaster will suddenly befall them.

Leaving the garbage dump, the woman quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she tightened the rope that dragged Xu Zhi, and walked in the direction of home.

She said that she was home, but in fact it was just a "slum" built on an abandoned vacant land on the outskirts of the industrial area, and she had a "house" of her own.

It was a narrow house made of wood, plastic, bricks and cement, less than 30 square meters, but the sparrows were small and full of organs.

The door is probably the strongest existence of this "home", after all, she lives alone, although she has the help of neighbors, but she still has to pay attention.

The woman opened the door and carried Xu Zhi inside, because it was raining, and the roof that didn't know where the problem was leaking, she put the bucket in the leaking position before going out, and now she has received a small half bucket of water.

The smell of damp earth, the cheap and unsuitable furniture, and the walls that are neither insulated nor soundproof, all show that this "home" is really not a "safe haven".

But even so, the home is quite tidy, although the furniture can be seen not to match, but the color is about the same, a few pots of flowers and plants are placed by the window as decorations, shabby but clean walls and furniture, neat desktops, and rooms without a trace of odor are enough to show that even if the conditions are limited, she is still running this home with heart.

The round-the-clock industrial area still rumbles even late at night, but the people who live here are used to it.

She didn't put Xu Zhi directly on the bed, but leaned her back on the chair first, and then went to boil some hot water, and when she turned on the gas, a trace of distress flashed on the woman's face, but she still insisted on boiling the bath water for Xu Zhi.

When carrying the girl home, she felt the other party's body shivering from the cold and her cold body temperature, and when there was a light, she also saw her frozen pale lips.

But when she carried the girl into the toilet and planned to take off her clothes and give her a hot bath, as soon as she opened the cloak, she saw the bloody wound on Xu Zhi's body, and the woman's movements stopped.

It took some time to rearrange the outline and the new plot, and there is still a chapter today~
