Chapter 483

[452-Dream]

There are so many kids like Hong all over downtown that you can roughly guess they were born in Tunnel 32 just by looking at their faces.

There is a large amount of red ore distributed in that tunnel. These ores are one of the cheapest in the entire Xiacheng District. They are easy to mine and have few uses. Their only function is to temporarily eat them.

The so-called temporary consumption simply means that you will not die immediately after eating it. After all, something like ore cannot be digested at all when it enters the stomach, and it will even rot the stomach.

But red ore does not. As soon as it touches the gastric juice, it will melt into pieces and accumulate in the stomach, giving people a feeling of satiety, and over time, it will become indigestible and die.

If you eat red ore for a long time, your offspring will turn red, and red is just like that.

When Hong took the ore with azure water light to the exchange point when he was exploring on the fourth floor, everyone was startled. This kind of sapphire blue ore has disappeared on the fifth, sixth and seventh floors. A piece like this The energy of the ore can power a car for a lifetime.

But Hong was investigated for this.

Instinct told her absolutely not to say – it was the necklace that protected her, so she insisted that it was picked up by herself.

It’s rare that these guys actually believe it, maybe it’s just superficial.

“Fortunately, I’m smart.” Hong returned to her tent with a week’s supply of food, and said to Lin Jie, “Those guys are so greedy they will definitely steal my necklace.”

Lin Jie nodded earnestly, as if he didn’t think of Hong as a child at all. He said, “Indeed, and there are regulations that prohibit the existence of private property in Xiacheng District.”

“Well, not bad, Xiao Lin remembers it very clearly and deserves praise.” Hong nodded, like a little adult.

Now she often imitates her grandmother’s tone consciously or unintentionally, and treats Lin Jie as a child.

Lin Jie glanced at the food in her hand. The rare sapphire sapphire had only been changed for a week. It seemed that Hong had been cheated a lot, but she still happily set up the pot.

“Wow! It’s delicious!”

The fragrant flour made a paste, and it was burnt black a lot. It was the tastiest and only food in the entire lower city.

“Hey, this is yours.” Hong filled a pot with two bowls, “You use grandma’s bowl.”

Lin Jie took the broken bowl and stuffed it into his mouth. In addition to the burnt smell, there was also a strong musty smell, which was completely the moldy food thrown away in Shangcheng.

With such dietary conditions and living conditions, it is a miracle that people in Xiacheng can live past the age of 30.

Hong bowed his head and ate hard, and his saliva was reluctant to flow out, like the kind of puppy who was greedy to the extreme.

Although Hong is fat, she is not the kind of person who eats a lot, but Lin Jie and Hong are definitely not enough to eat for a week.

Therefore, it is imperative to continue to search for ores.

After three days of unremitting efforts, Hong finally found a piece of unowned ore, which is a mainstream precious ore, and one piece can be exchanged for a week’s ration.

Mining stones is a physical and mental devastation, and you have to sleep next to the ore at night, otherwise it will be picked up by others, and you must be careful not to be bullied and robbed of the ore.

“Those adults are bullying people.” Hong said to Lin Jie while digging carefully with a hammer.

Lin Jie sat beside him casually, looking at Hong.

Hong continued to read brokenly: “That’s why I don’t want to be an adult, because my grandmother said that when I grow up, it will become bad… Hey, are you listening to me!”

“I’m listening.” Lin Jie replied casually, and then Hong continued to feel at ease: “Grandma also said that people must have dreams. This is the biggest difference between humans and animals.”

“By the way, do you have a dream?” Hong suddenly stopped the work in his hand, a pair of black and red pupils were full of expectations, and they were also full of reason and clarity, completely different from the shou-shaped pupils of others.

“Ang, do you have it?” Lin Jie said thoughtfully.

“What is it?” Red asked excitedly.

“Probably being a bookstore owner, living an ordinary life, and being able to bring a little guidance to others’ lives.”

“Bookstore owner…what is it?” After hearing this dream, Hong turned into deep thought.

“You’ll know when you’re up there.”

Lin Jie’s ordinary sentence made Hong completely excited, “Right, right? You think I’ll go up too, right?”

Lin Jie nodded.

“By the way, tell me about the above. It’s where my ancestors lived and my hometown.” Hong’s brisk voice was full of expectations, like a long and distant song, driving out of this dull tunnel. A flower comes.

Lin Jie was slightly moved, took a deep breath, and began to seriously describe the so-called above things.

——

The shimmering ore was held in red in the palm of the hand. Although the fineness was not very good, it barely met the fineness regulations.

Hong wiped the dust on her face weakly. She is a naturally fat person, but now even her clothes have shrunk a lot, her round face has become thinner, and her eyes have grown a lot.

I haven’t eaten for about a week. Hong can’t remember the time anyway, and he can’t remember the time in the entire Xiacheng District.

“This stone can be used for three days’ rations again.” Hong held a stone and placed it parallel to her eyes. The color of the ore was printed on the bottom of her eyes, which looked very beautiful.

Lin Jie glanced at the stone in Hong’s hand, and then glanced at the sneaky manager next to him. These guys were similar to Hong and the others. They were all polluted people from Xiacheng District, and they had never been to Shangcheng District in their life.

But now they are the minions of Shangcheng District, and they are called managers every day.

Because of these people’s care, Lin Jie had a bit of an ominous premonition. They probably didn’t believe Hong’s claim of picking up the sapphire. Four ways to come back tell them.

Lin Jie frowned and looked at those people, who seemed to be very disappointed to see that Hong insisted on digging the stone even if he was about to starve to death.

“Let’s go change the food.” Hong said weakly, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.

“Okay, I’m here to cook this time, and I can cook the meals in the upper section.” Lin Jie suddenly said “with great mercy”.

After all, after getting along for more than a month, this fellow has always been like a hands-off shopkeeper, a young master at all.

“That’s great!” Hong filled up like a balloon in an instant, and said excitedly, “That’s great, my dream is half realized.”

Hong happily ran to the food exchange office.

Lin Jie followed her, and finally turned to look at the managers who had been following Red.

After they said a few words in disappointment, they finally ended their surveillance of Hong.

Lin Jie used mind rewriting to rewrite his image in the eyes of others as a burly and majestic twenty-year-old man. If he was still strong and healthy at this age, he would be at the top of the entire food chain in the entire Xiacheng District.

Because of Lin Jie’s heavy image, let Hong not be pitted, and successfully got a week’s ration.

“One stone is enough for a week’s rations. Last time, the sapphire was given to me for a week. How bad they are!” Red pufferfish.

Lin Jie followed behind her with his hands and did not say anything to comfort him. His words were now reduced to an extreme, and he would only speak out when discussing dreams with Hong.

As soon as I walked to Tunnel 32, I saw that the entrance of the tent, which lived day and night, was full of people.
