After reporting the work and receiving a new task, the big man said goodbye. And after he left, the man behind the desk took out a remote control, tapped it, and a grand symphony sounded in the room.
The equipment used by the man is very good. The result of not deliberately lowering the volume is that the entire office seems to be a stage. At this moment, he is listening to the band playing.
Closing his eyes comfortably, the man hummed softly along with the music.
At the same time, a small figure was crawling in the ceiling ventilation duct above the man's head, and he hummed softly. He was actually humming the song that was being played now. If he listened carefully, he hummed even more than the middle-aged man below. Men are more accurate.
For a man, listening to symphony in his spare time is a major hobby in his life. However, in a place he doesn't know, his hobby has also become a little child's hobby.
Didou is three years old this year. Although he is still young, he can run and crawl, and he has begun to forage on his own.
The older kids in "Paradise" will take care of them until they can run, and after that, they'll have to figure out how to find food on their own.
So are ground beans.
This name is a new one when you hear it. In fact, it is true. Since the name Didou became the most popular name in the children's paradise, most of the children who didn't have a good name at that time used this name directly.
So this year, there are a lot of "earth beans", and the child lying on top of Pei Ze's head is just one of them.
Here, the role models for the little ones are the older ones at the beginning, and when the older kids around go to find Gigi and Berg in exchange for a daily bean, "Didou" does the same.
He was the youngest and smallest of the children involved in the operation.
Given the above conditions, the area he explored was also the smallest.
Even so, Ronggui gave him the same remuneration as other children.
Other children don't care either. In their opinion, as long as they use their abilities to do things, they can get the same reward as themselves.
"Paradise" children did not learn to be lazy.
In this way, Didou can get one Didou every day. Because of his young age, he can't eat all the Didou, so he will give his Didou to the older child, and then the older child will give it to him. Even younger children.
Being young, not very good at speaking, and being smaller... At first glance, all of them seem to be disadvantages, but in fact, in the paradise, this is even more of an advantage - after all, they rely on pipes to act, and the pipes here are layered on top of each other. Densely packed, there are thick and thin, there are thick peripheral pipes that are enough to hold Kerry, and there are medium-sized pipes that only Berg and the others can enter. It is true that in Star Prison, such medium-sized pipes occupy most of the ventilation duct system. , but there are still places where the pipes are very thin, places that a child of Berg's size can't get through, or where they lived when they were younger.
When the older kids go out to work, the youngest kids are put in these pipes, which is also the safest place.
Didou is now just the right size to move in and out of these thinnest pipes, and although he is the smallest among the children who go out to work, he has his advantages.
After all, in many places, only children of his size can enter, and there are not many who are as small as him, who are knowledgeable, and who can help with things.
For example, the ground beans are contracted to grow ground beans and murmur grass in the thin pipe. The older children outside will demonstrate to him how to grow these two kinds of plants. After he learns, he will grow these plants in the places he passes by alone. .
Although it is a bit crooked, Didou has completed the task very well.
Uh... a little off topic.
Let's continue to turn our attention to these tiniest pipes.
The higher the place, the thinner the pipes. For children like Berg, their exploration is up to the tenth floor above the ground. The ventilation pipes further up are all thin pipes. The little guy can go.
It is actually very scary to be alone in a narrow and dark channel, without knowing where the end is and without any sound.
But Didou chose to come and investigate.
Well, in fact, he doesn't understand the meaning of exploration at all, but he knows that as long as he searches a place that no one has searched every day, he can get a Didou, and for Didou, it happens that other children can't search. , where no one competes with him.
For young children who are at the lowest end of the food chain, this ground bean is extremely precious.
Going in alone, of course he is afraid~ When he is extremely afraid, he will cry twice. But in this kind of place and under this situation, of course no one would come to pick him up and comfort him, so he could only cry twice and continue crawling.
Fortunately, as he climbed all the way to grow ground beans, it became less dark. He regularly explored a small area every day, and before he knew it, he climbed higher and higher.
Then, he would hear the symphony in the pipe.
Never heard any music, this kind of shocking music startled the child at first, but then brought salvation.
Of course, for such a young child, he probably doesn't know what redemption is.
He just thought it sounded good, and instinctively fell in love with this kind of music.
During this time, it was the symphony played from time to time every day, which accompanied him to find one place after another.
Until today, he finally climbed out of the pipe and came to the top floor, where he heard his favorite music at the closest distance!
The little child crawls there and listens for a long time.
It wasn't until the man behind the desk had heard enough, turned off the music and left, that he silently crawled away from the ceiling above the desk, crawled back into the slender pipe, and crawled all the way to a certain place. When he was in place, he also knew how to use the elevator.
When Xiaomei used a chip to cause all the elevator doors to fail to close last time, didn't everyone see the dots of light in the elevator tunnel
Yes, some of the ventilation ducts are connected to the elevator tunnel. When the sky is up and down, the children can lightly jump to the top of the elevator, and then take the elevator ride and walk less.
Of course, it takes good judgment and a little luck.
There was once a child who didn't step on firmly, fell off, and then... never appeared in front of others.
Fortunately, the ground beans are agile ground beans.
I saw him waiting quietly according to the pipe opening leading to the elevator in his memory, just like a kitten. In the dark, he lurked at the pipe opening, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and then heard the sound of the elevator rope sliding. , he stuck his head out.
Sure enough, an elevator came down above.
Judging the time, he kicked his back foot and stretched out his limbs. He "flyed" out like a cub, flew out of the pipe opening, and landed lightly on the top of the elevator.
Silently, no one noticed.
While squatting at the elevator entrance and taking the downwind elevator, Didou still didn't let his guard down. Looking ahead, he didn't even dare to blink, just stared at the ventilation duct opening on the wall seriously.
one... two... three... seven...
When he counted to the seventh pipe, he jumped up quickly, and at the moment when the top of the elevator and the mouth of the pipe intersected, he successfully rolled in.
Counting to seven is the limit of Didou's counting now.
There are still a few pipes in the back to jump in, but he can't count anymore, so he doesn't jump, even if he jumps now, he still has to climb a lot of roads.
Fortunately, there are already a lot of older children doing activities here, and the pipes here are already thick for him, so he can trot inside without lying on his stomach!
Moreover, the ventilation ducts today are not the same as before. They are no longer dark, but green beans all over the place! The whole pipeline is now a fluorescent tunnel full of fantasy colors, which is very interesting for children who are still very playful!
After running for a while, resting for a while, and then crawling for a while, Didou finally stumbled to the 999th floor where Ronggui was located.
Report the situation and get paid.
Because he was a slow trot, and because he was the one who ran the farthest of all the children today, when he came over, he could only be attached to the end of the line and make a small tail.
Because of walking and crawling all the way, the tattered clothes on the body are now so rotten that they can't be seen, and the ground bean now looks like a ground bean ← or the kind that has just been pulled out of the soil, not only dirty , and there was an undisguised stench on his body.
It's the smell in the ventilation ducts, all the kids have it, but this little guy has a stronger smell.
He had climbed too many roads that no one had climbed for too long, and his body was stained with old dirt from the walls of the pipes.
But Didou didn't care at all, with a smile on his dirty little face that couldn't see his facial features. Thinking that he could get Didou again in a while, he was very happy~
Then, finally, it was his turn.
"Oh, Didou, why are you so dirty today?" Ronggui immediately recognized the little Didou at the end and picked him up.
As a robot, he couldn't smell it, but just by looking at it, he knew that this little guy must be smelly, but Ronggui didn't care.
Growing up in an orphanage, the children often played dirty and came home. As the second child in that group of children, he was used to a group of dirty little hairs.
The children don't think so. They are despised wherever they go because of their dirty smell. If they help the prisoners in time, no one will take the initiative to pick them up.
All the children's eyes were focused on Ronggui, who was holding Didou, and his small eyes were sparkling, as if the Didou being held were them.
Who is Ronggui? Ronggui is the most stinky little girl who usually carries N small handkerchiefs with her~
Holding the little Didou, he wet the handkerchief with water, and carefully cleaned Didou's face and hands.
Letting him wipe it, Didou carefully put his small hand on Ronggui's shoulder, and seeing that he didn't care, he pressed his entire head on it.
Pressed on Ronggui's shoulder, and then smiled heartlessly at Xiaomei who was looking over from behind Ronggui's shoulder.
Xiaomei: =-=
Let Ronggui clean up the ground beans before Xiaomei began to ask questions.
Even if the other party is young, he still acts according to the rules, his tone is cold, his language is concise, and he does not use silly and sweet childish language because the object is young.
"Today, where did you go? Who did you see? What did you hear?" As always, Xiaomei's questions were mainly these three.
Then, Didou nodded and stopped smiling. Like other children, with a stern face, he began to report his work seriously—
As a three-year-old child, his language skills are not very good, but fortunately, he has a good memory and a magical ability to focus on key points. He can speak the people he sees in very simple but precise language. Just like a child of this age likes to listen to adults and then learn to speak, he is also very keen to learn what he heard that day, and basically remembers that two points alone are enough for him to do the job.
So, the little guy used all the words within his vocabulary to describe his "exploration" today, and finally, "imitation" the conversation between the two adults that he saw today.
Without Ronggui's imitation ability, his grasp of tone is not like the person who speaks, but his memory is good, and the other party's key words are memorized.
"auctions… "
"Twenty-three years!"
"dirty stuff!"
“Every day… great music!”
"Clean up thoroughly..."
"What's in the pipeline... deal with it together~"
The little guy's voice was crisp and crisp. He said it in a happy tone. He was proud that he had memorized so many words. He just wanted to show it to Ronggui in front of him. However, he didn't know what he said. What a cold and cruel word.
The children present understood, and their faces turned white.
Ronggui's mouth opened, and he couldn't help himself. He hugged the little Didou who started humming in his arms, and looked at Xiaomei worriedly.
"It's Pez."
"The tune that Didou hums is the Eighth Prelude Joyful March, a famous symphony movement in the northern city."
"Pezer's greatest hobby is listening to symphonies."
"And the subordinate who followed him for 23 years... Now it seems that it should be Curry." In memory, Curry followed him for 23 years and died.
"Didou got very important news, Pezer... There is going to be a massive overhaul of the prison, and..."
"He's going to clean the pipes."
Xiaomei coldly told the truth that Didou couldn't understand.
