"Brother Mouse, there is a kid who wanted to eavesdrop and Bungy found out!" A moment later, the lazy dog ??came in from outside, still holding a person in his arms.
"He's the only one?" Hong Tao also took out his gun. The tiger was even faster and had already blown out the oil lamp.
"Well, Bungy Pig is still watching from the outside and didn't find anyone else. This little guy is very ruthless, he almost stabbed me with a small stick in his hand!" Lazy Dog pushed the figure in his arms to the ground with a slap Stamping on one foot, cursing under his breath.
"Wait, everyone who shouldn't be here will go first!" Hong Tao reached out his hand to stop the tiger from lighting the lamp, and let the thin monkey, water snake and fat sheep leave first. So far they haven't found anyone stalking them, which means that they probably haven't been exposed, so they have to continue lurking.
"Hey, the grinding is quite fastBoy, let me ask you, who sent you here?" The people left, the oil lamp was lit, and the tiger acted as the leader again.
He took the knife and looked at it. He didn't know what it was sharpened with. Looking down at the person stepped on by the lazy dog, he smiled. It was a little boy, with a dirty face and clothes whose colors were almost blurred, but with bright eyes.
"I came by myself slap" The little boy clenched his fists and supported the ground trying to push himself up, but he couldn't hold the lazy dog's big feet, and he blushed as soon as he said five words before he was slapped on the head by the tiger's big slap superior.
"You come here by yourself, you still have a knife, what are you planning to do sneakily at night! Don't think that I don't dare to do anything when I am young, believe it or not, I stabbed here with a knife, and let you watch your blood dry up !"
The tiger didn't like to play tricks as much as Hong Tao, and he didn't want to talk nonsense, so he picked up the knife and put it on the little boy's neck, staring at the big eyes and growling.
"II want to get some more wires" As the saying goes, one thing is equal to one thing. The appearance of a tiger is mighty in the eyes of adults, but it may be scary in the eyes of children. Although the little boy endured it hard, tears still flowed out involuntarily.
"Electrical wires" Tiger was a little dazed. It is true that he brought back electrical wires from the red zone in the past few days, but when he took them away in the morning, he wrapped them in things and put them on the bottom of the tricycle. Now, how does this kid know?
" Hey, it's really the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole. You are a thief, right? Honestly, how many times have you stolen? Who else stole with you? We usually cut off a finger when we catch a thief , but if you tell the truth, I might be able to cut it off if I intercede for you!"
Hong Tao also felt quite puzzled, got up and looked at the place where the wires were discharged in the corner, and couldn't help laughing. The four walls of the shed are all canvas, and the bottom is buried in the soil, and a few big stones are pressed on it. Now a small hole has been dug in a place, and the wire is probably pulled out from here.
"I just took a small roll You hired me to work, and you paid me back, so it's not considered stealing!" The little boy was obviously sensitive to the word "stealing", struggling desperately to be reasonable.
"Then why do you want to take the wire first?" Hong Tao signaled the lazy dog ??to move his feet away, lifted the little boy onto the bed, grinned at him, and planned to cooperate with the tiger. Sing a bad face.
"" But the little boy didn't cooperate very much, and quickly moved away from Hong Tao's face after only one glance. Tears came down again, but he didn't dare to cry out, and the big snot flowed out.
"Huh little friend, you hurt me deeply! But I don't care, come on, see, it's fifty cents. If you tell the truth, I'll hire you, five cents a week and two meals a week. If you If you continue to hurt me, I will cut off your fingers and send you to the security team."
All the people in the room smiled, and laughed together at Hong Tao for being overconfident and wanting to pretend to be a good person when he looks like that. Hong Tao took a deep breath, touched the scar on his face, and did not lose heart, he took out a steel coin from his pocket and put it in his hand to continue to induce a confession.
"I sold it for 50 cents" I don't know whether it is the attractiveness of money or the threat of sending it to the security team, the little boy confessed with his mouth pursed.
"Hey, come to us to work and earn money when you are hungry. Don't steal it. I won't cut your fingers this time, but you have to work with us tomorrow. Five cents a week, ten cents a week. Money, do you know how many weeks it will take to pay it off?"
In fact, Hong Tao can guess why the little boy stole the wires without confessing, what else can he do, go to the market to sell and buy steamed buns to eat. In the new sixth district, new refugees would come in every now and then. If they were physically fit, they could go to the construction site to get food and clothing.
This child looks about seven or eight years old. It is the time when the metabolism is vigorous, and he has no energy to go out to earn money. He will inevitably think of wrong ideas when he is hungry.
Although I was never hungry when I was a child, I was always hungry when there was no oil in my stomach. Then I followed my little uncle to the copper pipe factory to steal copper scrap, and to the subway construction site to steal steel barsTake the head back and exchange it for money to buy candy and popsicles. Comparing his heart to his heart, this child is probably even stronger.
"five weeks!" When the little boy heard that he was paid, he wiped his nose and tears with his sleeve, bit his lip and counted hard.
"Then after five weeks, apart from paying back my 50 cents, will you earn less money?"
"Two dollars!"
Gu Yan</span> "Oh, you got all the answers right! Come on, reward a piece of dried fish eat it, this is what you earned through your studies, and it's only natural to rely on your ability to earn a living. But you You have to tell me, who taught these?"
Hong Tao was a little surprised by this answer. School-age children in the safety zone are allowed to enter the school by the alliance. They do not need tuition fees but have to pay for food. Even though it only costs 80 cents a month, there are still many refugees who are unwilling or unable to pay.
Considering the child's age and living standard, it is estimated that he has never been to school, but his mental arithmetic and logical thinking skills are not low at all, and he must be at the level of the second and third grades.
"My unclehe knows a lot. He tells us stories every day, and even buys pancakes for us on our birthdays." As soon as the food came out, the little boy's resistance obviously weakened and he talked more.
"Well, you have a good uncle. But didn't he tell you that you can't steal other people's things?" If it was in the past, Hong Tao would definitely take out some food for the little boy to take home, and maybe even give some to him. money.
But not now, wandering in Xinjiang for more than eight years, not only allowed him to practice the skills of survival in the wild, grazing, and fishing, but also hardened his heart.
If a person watches tragedies every day, he will soon regard tragedies as comedies. The life of the refugees in Xinjiang is much more miserable than here. Let alone steamed buns and pancakes, eating porridge with wild vegetables is a well-off life.
It wasn't just that Hong Tao was hard-hearted, Tiger and the others also didn't show anything when they were listening. To say hard-hearted, these people are even worse. Not only have they seen many such scenes, but they have experienced them themselves.
"I'm not stealing I want to buy a pair of shoes for my uncle. His birthday will be the day after tomorrow, and he has never had a birthday gift. I can work, and I don't count as stealing if I get paid!" But the little boy was still very happy. Persistence, I don't want to admit the fact of stealing even if I am killed. For this reason, I would rather not eat dried fish and explain the truth clearly.
"" As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the shed. Everyone froze their figures and expressions, and said nothing for a long time.
"Fuck If my son can be as sensible as him, I'd be willing to die of exhaustion! What's the size of your uncle's feet?"
The scalper began to recall again. Before the outbreak of the zombie disease, he had not only sons, but two. Thinking of the past, the man in his early forties burst into tears, strode to the bed and took out his backpack from underneath.
"No. 43" The little boy was a little frightened. He still didn't quite understand why the dark uncle was crying, so he quickly put down the dried fish and poked it far away with his hand.
"" The ox stopped and turned to look at the tiger. He is quite stocky, but he has small feet, and he wears size 41 shoes, 42 at most, so he obviously can't give generously.
"Here!" Although the tiger didn't shed tears, the flesh on his cheeks was still moving, probably by gritting his teeth. Most of them had families and children before the outbreak of the zombie disease. They thought they would gradually forget about it as time went by, but the little boy broke his defense with a word.
"Here, take the shoes. Remember, this pair of shoes costs one yuan, and it will be deducted from your salary in the future. Also, do you know what to say to your uncle when you go back?" Hong Tao took the shoes and stuffed them into the little boy's arms. , but did not let go.
"" The little boy hugged the shoes tightly, his eyes full of confusion.
"You want to say that you bought it from the market, and the money was earned by working on our construction site, understand?" Hong Tao helped the little boy make up a lie.
"" The little boy still shook his head.
"If you don't say that, your uncle definitely doesn't want it. He thought you stole it. Remember, if your uncle asks what you do for work, he will help straighten the wires. Come on, repeat it and let me hear it." Hong Tao has always been very conceited in making up nonsense, not only completing the set but also responsible for training.
"Okay, take your shoes and go home, remember to come here to work tomorrow afternoon!" It wasn't until the little boy repeated several times that he had memorized all the key points that Hong Tao sent him out in person.
"I forgot to ask what his name is" The atmosphere in the shed was a bit depressing, everyone lowered their heads and smoked. Tiger wanted to break the atmosphere, but what he said was still related to the little boy.
"What's the point of calling it? I'm Bires, Yuro, or Chow Tai Fook. You just believe me?" No matter what you say at this time, you can't ease everyone's hearts, let alone persuade them. Who doesn't understand the truth, but people always have emotions, and when emotions come up, philosophers also get depressed.
"It's done, don't be sentimental, we don't have the qualifications yet. We are all ready to set off early today, and try to move more times!"
So Hong Tao is not talking nonsense, come on, labor is the most glorious. Idlers will think too much, when you are carrying a hundred catties of bricks and walking hard, you don't have so much thought to be sentimental. ()stuffy.
