"Pull your hat down." Hong quietly put away her bone knife and whispered to Lin Jie.
As she wished, Lin Jie raised his hand and lowered his hood while looking up at the entire greenhouse community.
The conditions here are even more unpleasant than what Lin-suke first saw.
If there were a lot of small single rooms installed with cement and pulled out like honeycombs on the wall, there are really only some tents built with plastic tarps.
And there is a very strong corpse odor.
Lin Jie frowned slightly, then heard Hong behind him and asked, "How long have you been in Xiacheng?"
Lin Jie immediately replied obediently, "According to Nuo Jin's time, there are only five hours."
After hearing this, Hong suddenly raised a smile and asked, "Hurry up and eat everything on your body!"
Lin Jie immediately raised his hand after hearing this, showing his empty hands, and said, "I'm really sorry, I didn't think of it when I came."
"Liar!" Hong widened his round eyes, and his beastly pupils did not pose much threat to Hong's face.
"Really not." Lin Jie said in distress.
Hong frowned and was a little angry. He had managed to rob a person from the upper level, but he didn't even have food.
Seeing him like this, it doesn't look like a liar, so he muttered angrily: "I heard that people in Shangcheng hate each other very much, and often frame robbery or something... This guy looks stupid, can it be said that he was robbed by his companions already?"
Lin Jie looked at Hong with some amusing.
"Then you shouldn't have eaten for a long time, right?" Hong asked hesitantly after muttering.
Lin Jie nodded solemnly without hesitation.
"Also, I can still eat." Lin Jie said seriously: "If you don't eat for another hour, you will most likely die."
"Death?!" Hong widened his eyes, looking a little scared.
"My grandmother has gone to change the food. If it goes well, she will be back at night." Hong pushed Lin Jie and let him go into the shed. There were two beds and a cabinet in the small shed.
"When the time comes, I can divide you a little, but you remember, I just don't want you to starve to death."
In that small shed, a lot of things could be knocked over just by turning around. The floor was full of muddy water. Only two tree poles were stuck on the ground, supporting the tarpaulin. Pungent urine smell.
Lin Jie glanced at the wooden board, the sheets were dyed black and caked, and a layer of gravel lay quietly at the bottom of the water glass at the head of the bed.
Lin Jie sat on the bed and looked at Hong carefully.
The big red round face plate is equipped with short tentacles and chins. She is different from others, and the tentacles on her chin often spin around excitedly.
"Why are you looking at me?" Hong said with wide eyes, a little embarrassed.
Although Lin Jie was born unremarkable, in Xiacheng District, the standard of beauty is the upper-level area, and the appearance is not polluted by gray fog.
Hong was a little embarrassed to be stared at by this noble appearance.
"It's strange, why are you red?" Lin Jie asked curiously, "I think most people are green."
"Humph," Hong raised his head proudly and said, "Because I was born near the red crystal mine, my mother ate a lot of red crystal mine before giving birth to me, so I am red, and my name is also because of this It's called red."
Lin Jie nodded and continued to ask, "Where are your parents?"
Hong paused for a while, then said: "My father's tunnel collapsed and died, and my mother ate too much crystal ore. Grandpa, grandpa, and grandpa are all in gray fog. I live with my grandmother... Hey! Don't try to lie to me. , you are the culprit!"
Turning into a gray fog—the lower city is synonymous with death. People in the lower city believe that they were born in the gray fog, are born with sin, and will die in the gray fog.
This is the result of brainwashing by the rulers of the upper division.
The animals in the lower city are as demons as the gray fog, destined to live in hell, enslaved, imprisoned...
Terribly, this statement is accepted by most of the lower city members.
Lin Jie ignored her complaints and continued to smile and said:
"Why are you mining stones here? It stands to reason that you are very strong when you are affected by the gray fog. Just pierce the surface and rush out."
When Lin Jie said this, he seemed to take it for granted, but after Hong understood what he said, he immediately widened his round eyes and rebuked loudly, saying:
"Ah—how can there be someone like you?! Shut up, the witch of the tree will hear."
Lin Jie is speechless... Now the witch of the tree is my best friend Bai Yin, you say she can hear or not.
"Dong Dong!!"
Someone suddenly knocked on the stump in front of the door.
Coupled with Lin Jie's "crazy words" just now, Hong almost sat up in shock... The witch of the tree, did you hear it
"Red!" shouted a majestic male voice outside the door.
Hong walked to the door nervously, opened the curtain, a tall man in black robe stood up, looking down at Hong, his chin and tentacles were slightly raised, and he looked like a high-class person in Xiacheng District.
"Your grandmother was trampled to death while picking up food. From this month onwards, you need to provide about four precious ores in exchange for food." After speaking, the man in black robe didn't even look at red, and walked directly towards next one.
This shack is hardly a house, Lin Jie heard the sound of the door clearly and fell into deep thought.
Hong seemed to have heard something unbelievable, and before the man was far away, she rushed up and planted it on the man's thigh like a mushroom, her eyes were full of despair, and she wept, "Sir, what are you doing? Wrong! How could my grandmother die?"
The man didn't even want to explain, and kicked Hong into the cement pit with one foot. She was covered in muddy water all over her body. Hong was kicked by this big man and felt pain like a broken rib.
The man said to her, "Your grandmother is almost forty. Damn it. Very few people live that long and make a lot of money."
"And..." The man turned his head to look at Hong, and mocked: "You're nine years old, right?... You're an adult, yet you still have to report the child's share, and it's dangerous to ask a grandmother like Lao Cheng to go out to get food. ."
"Death, isn't it normal?"
"No, no!" Hong ate a mouthful of mud, almost covered in a layer of mud glue, crying loudly, "Grandma said I was still a child, and grandma told me not to become an adult!"
"Hong don't become an adult!" Hong shouted and cried.
The manager ignored Hong and let her cry alone in the mud. Lin Jie finally walked out of the tent and looked at Hong in the mud blankly. .
Lin Jie stood beside her, waiting for her to faint from crying in the mud, then picked her up by one arm and threw her back to the tent.
