Chapter 114: Season Card
"Vali, can you tell us about Jika?"
The two crossed over the downtown area where there was a young girl, eager for a little bread......
The clever kleptocratic nature of the crime caused a flurry of chickens and dogs to jump, and a group of impatient local forces searched one by one, clutching their weapons, because they could not be sure if it was the interference of other forces.
The two leaned against the corner.
Vali tries to retrace the hidden memories within, though he is reluctant to reveal the scars.
"Hmm. ”
"45 years ago, an agricultural agglomeration near the Brie district. ”
On that day, with this cry, a child prodigy was born, and the embarrassing thing was that no one knew who his father was, and in the boring life, people found a little fun. ”
"According to my parents, Season has shown an age-inappropriate wit, and because of that, he seems out of place. ”
"He always brings all kinds of improvements to the village, he seems to know everything, and he learned to write at the village chief's house......"
Although he learned to write, he was reluctant to go to the school in Zone D, but that didn't hide his light. ”
Leaning against the corner, Vali's eyes were dilated, even hollow, and his voice became more and more ethereal.
"Old man Season and my parents are the same generation, it was a boring era, and I often heard my father talk about him, mentioning his almost legendary first half of his life. ”
As Vali narrates, near-real scenes are mapped in Anthony's mind ^O^
Under the dim sky, the top is moist and brings rain and dew, and Wali's parents live in the three-story hilly area of the underground settlement, wiping their sweat drops, looking out to the far southeast, yearning for life in the Buri district.
Countless jujube trees were planted on the ground, but that could not satisfy the hill people.
In the underground hills, villagers are often attacked by wild beasts, and the most unacceptable is ...... Exploitation by grain merchants.
The grain merchants gave them the illusion that everyone in Brie District D was so wealthy.
Perhaps because of laziness, or because of something, their faith gradually wavered.
Crunch, roar, a steel vehicle came to a steady halt.
That year, unknown minerals were discovered on this large area of land, and it didn't take long for the Dwaka team to acquire the land.
Facing the confused hill people, they offered a high price, and the price made all the hill people excited, and the moment the price was exposed, everyone's breath became heavy.
It was a wealth that they could never earn in their lifetime, and countless people tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night.
Everyone took the money excitedly, their hands trembled, and they were completely attracted by the amount, but only one person was unwilling, and that was ...... Season card.
He persuaded his family bitterly, but people often indulged in the quagmire of money, who would care about his words?
Immediately after that, he disappeared, and no one knew where he had gone, and no one wanted to know where he had gone.
Scenes suddenly changed .......
Wali's parents are delighted to come to Brie, only to find that it is a deeper nightmare.
Without the attack of the annoying beasts, but they are facing greater trouble, giving them a lifetime of wealth, and they can only become the middle and lower classes in the Brie District.
Working in Brie requires A, B, C, D, and all levels of certification......
What's worse is ......
Vali's eyes are an indictment of that era, an indictment of the extremely conspicuous scars of the era......
"That year, all the bread of the jujube tree was transported to an unknown place, and even the local forces were starving, and in the hills, no matter how hard it was, there was plenty of bread. ”
"But when there was a shortage of food, we realized that the money we relied on could only be exchanged for a few days. ”
"I was very young at the time, but I could still feel the hesitation when order collapsed. ”
"Everywhere there were dancing figures, the twisted faces of the robbers reflected in the flames, and the city was reduced to purgatory......"
"My father died in the turmoil, and a few days later, my mother died of depression, and I was the only one...... Lingering. ”
"My father said to me before he died, we have given up the foundation of our existence, the land...... , because I didn't have a job after coming to Brie District, I was empty, especially education...... Can't keep up, A, B, C, D knowledge certificate is not so easy to test. ”
"After my mother's death, I was wandering. ”
The inspectors will soon be here, and the two find a secluded corner to avoid a search.
In the silence, Vali pondered for a moment.
A few days later, in ragged clothes, I saw a smiling Jika with a carload of the most scarce food in the Buri district, a cartload of jujube bread. ”
"That day, I realized that what really keeps you in the city is value, and that's why Jika squeezed into Brie out of thin air. ”
"If the first half of his life was brilliant, the second half of his life was declining. ”
"Twenty years ago, there was an accident, some people said that it was related to Duke Norma, and the D Waka team was wiped out, and the few remaining minions survived with Jika. ”
"No one wants to know the truth, and no one wants to know the truth, for everyone who knows is dead. ”
Thankfully, Jika still has the wisdom of knowing everything, and despite the change of power in the city, he survived the purge, and no one knows what he has done. ”
"Eighteen years ago, the front line of Waka was crumbling, and the city was once again in a state of desolation. ”
"People who were already numb began to become selfish and insane, and Jika stepped up to soothe people's emotions over and over again, and used some special methods to keep us from hunger. ”
"We found a food, round, that we couldn't drink after eating, to maintain nutrition for more than ten days. ”
"Because of this, in special times, the role of the season card is infinitely magnified, but in peacetime, everything is different. ”
"Those bizarre statements can convince the girls who are being raised in the C district, but they can't save them from starving to death on the streets. ”
"What's the use of ideal excitement? what's the difference between getting out of swaddling clothes without survival skills and looking for death?"
Dividing line .......
In the faintly collapsed outer district, the night market in Buri District is even more cruel, even purgatory on earth.
There were bursts of shouting and scolding in the distance, and the personnel with the emblem of the Brie badge carved in hollow were pulling the girl in rough linen, and next to the boy's frenzied attack, but to no avail.
The dialogue makes both Vali and Anthony feel uncomfortable, the range is too taunting, not handled well, and can even cause a riot.
The two of them clearly heard .......
"Stop, if you are injured and can't work for a few days, in the outside world where there is a shortage of food, you will ...... Starve. ”
......
This sentence made Anthony's pupils bloodshot, and he thought about it a lot, and in the corridor of memory, he thought of everything in Port Will, and there was a sense of time and space confusion.
A steady, strong hand rested on Anthony's shoulder, and Vali gave a bitter look of advice.
WALL-E has seen through these ......
"Forget it, this kind of thing is very common, take care of this, and the next one, do you guarantee that they will not be retaliated against?"
These things, they could have expected before they came, but when they happened right in front of them, they didn't want to accept them. ”
"Employment is the foundation of people's livelihood, and no one can escape the shackles of iron rules. ”
Anthony's hand hung down a little, and Vali was silent for a moment.
"Let's go, go see Old Man Season. ”
