The Dark King
Chapter 11 Revisiting the Slums
When leaving, Fino drove alone, instead of going to the Scavenger's Castle that Du Dean had seen before, but went directly to the residential area, stopped under the high wall, let Du Dean get off, and walked back.
"Don't I have to be a "scavenger"?Dudean was puzzled.
Fino jumped back to the carriage and said impatiently: "We have already tested you, no need to go there to test again, and after a few days, someone will take you to report." , The black carriage was galloping away.
Du Di'an frowned slightly, turned and walked down the street toward the Jula and his wife's house. Fortunately, he had returned once with the Ayr's carriage, and took note of the route, otherwise he had to get lost.
By the time he returned to No. 108 Linkang Street, he was tired and gasping for breath. His body was sweating and his legs were sore.Although the Jules and his wife lived not far from this high wall, only seven or eight miles away, his body has not recovered from the sequelae of the frozen warehouse, and his physical strength is much weaker than that of ordinary children of the same age.
At the door of the house, the Jura and his wife stood looking around. When Du Dean appeared from the corner of the street, his eyes lit up and he greeted him quickly.
Grange said: "Why didn't anyone send you? You came back by yourself?"
Jula gave him a white look and said, "Go back and talk."
Grey awoke and immediately picked up Du Di'an's weak, weak body, and hurried back home.After closing the door, Jula found a cotton towel to wipe Du Dean sweat, and said with concern: "Child, are you okay, those people did not treat you?"
Du Di'an knew what they knew most when they saw their reaction and asked, "Do you know?"
"The person above informed us that you are eligible to join the guard." Gray looked at Du Di'an's hot red face and suspiciously said, "Did your test fail?"
Du Di'an thought, it seems that the identity of the "scavenger" also needs to be kept secret, saying: "After passing, someone will take me to report in the next few days, but I don't want to go, can this matter be refused?"
If he could choose, he was still willing to learn the law first, master more things, and then go outside to see the scenery there.
Grayson breathed and laughed: "Do you know how many people want to go without a chance, your child still wants to refuse, can be a guard, can let you eat and drink and get sick and die all the life, just stand guard every day, just It’s good to have a big salary and nobody dares to bully you."
Jula looked at Du Dean tenderly and said, "Do you still want to learn the law?"
Du Dean nodded seriously.
"I asked you for it." Jula smiled and said, "When I go there for training, I can learn the law as well, and not only can learn the law, but also study medicine, geology, sewing, etc. There is a comprehensive school ."
school?Du Di'an was startled.
Many people can't tell the difference between a college and a school. Simply put, the college is a specialty, such as the law school and the sewing school, but the school is composed of multiple colleges. The things learned are very comprehensive!
"There is nothing to learn about the law. When you become a guard, you don't have to worry about anything." Gray patted Du Dean's shoulder and encouraged with a smile: "Come on, I heard that there will be elimination of training there, you But focus on thinking, don't be brushed down."
Du Di'an felt relieved and learned all-round?This is exactly what he wants.
"Auntie." Du Dean seized the opportunity and said to Jula: "I want to borrow some pocket money, and I will definitely pay you back in the future!"
Jula froze for a moment, then smiled and said: "How much do I need, I give you, what is borrowed and not paid, are all a family."
"That's right." Gray smiled and said: "I have lived here for so long, and Dean should change his mind."
Dudi's installation did not understand what he said, and he estimated it in his heart and said, "Probably one hundred copper coins."
"So much?" The two of Jura were taken aback, and one hundred copper coins was almost equal to their living expenses for half a month. Gregory said: "What do you want to buy, you need so much?"
Du Di'an had thought about the reason for a long time, and said, "I want to buy something to eat and go back to visit my partner in the orphanage." After that, I said quietly in my heart, I would like to borrow you first, and then visit you later.
Jula smiled slightly and said, "It should be, here for you." After that, he took out a stack of green copper coins from his wallet, counted them, and handed Du Dean exactly one hundred integers.
Since the advent of printing technology ten years ago, Xinghai Bank, under the management of Sylvia's giant wall, issued a large number of banknotes. In just a few years, it replaced coins and circulated to various households in residential areas. I am also getting used to trading with light banknotes.
"Thank you!" Du Dean immediately took it, without points, directly into his pocket.
Seeing this, Gray couldn't say anything more, and waved Jula to dinner.
Early the next morning.
Du Dean got up on time, ate breakfast after washing, greeted the Jules and the couple, and went straight out.Although I don’t know when the “scavengers” will send someone to pick him up, these days I don’t have to go to the law school.
"Sulfur..." Du Di'an vaguely remembered the practice of gunpowder, which was told by his sister when he made firecrackers for him during a holiday, but he didn't know what was needed besides sulfur. After all, he was still small, Not interested in these things.
Instead of going directly to buy sulfur, Du Di'an called a carriage and went to the slums to get back his own things.
Soon after entering the ghetto, Du Di'an walked directly towards the Meishan Orphanage, and then when he was four streets away, he turned into a remote and ruined street, straight ahead, and the smell of feces and rotten insects along the way. , Making him frown slightly, and not long after, he came to a huge dump.
The garbage dump in the slum area is really a garbage dump.
Here, you can't find anything that has value in use. If you want to hunt for treasure in it, it's a fool's dream.
Therefore, even the poor people will not come here, because all the items thrown here have long been ruined.
Du Dean stood far away and could smell a strong smell of rotten and fecal urine. Many poor people or homeless people are still happy to solve the problem of excretion here.
There are seven or eight black garbage dumps, as huge as a hill. Du Dean came to one of the garbage dumps and looked around. After confirming that there were no people nearby, he stooped down and squatted down to open a dark and sticky A black cloth of garbage and unknown slime, this black cloth reveals a small hollow, just enough to accommodate his thin body like this.
This is naturally not a coincidence, but this hole, which he opened up by himself.
