"This is not a secret." Jiang Zhixian looked at her, "I heard that Sister Hong looked like this when she came to Black Dragon City. Thirty years later, she still looks like this. That son of hers is not an ordinary person!"
"Why doesn't her son want to see her?" Shen quietly asked again.
Looking at Sister Hong's anxious expression just now, she didn't look like a heartless woman. What on earth could have caused a mother and son to become so strange to each other?
Seeing her curiosity, Jiang Zhixian pointed at his face with a smile on his face, "Kiss me and I'll tell you."
"Forget it if you don't tell me." Shen quietly got angry and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Seeing that she was angry, Jiang Zhixian stood up, pulled her up from the chair, and said: "They are all old and bad things, and I have dirty ears."
Besides, it’s not appropriate to talk about other people’s places.
While coaxing his wife, he looked at the terminal in his hand. His eyes quickly scanned a series of addresses, and he felt confident in his heart.
"Let's go and meet the victim."
"Victim?" Shen quietly stood up obediently, "You didn't say she was dead."
"I didn't say there was only one victim." Jiang Zhixian snorted, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. "That kind of person actually appears on the Star Network every day and is praised and praised by others. It is really ridiculous."
"The empire has long been rotten from the roots." Shen quietly agreed.
After the two left the "Hongfu Pavilion", they took the shuttle all the way to the slums of Black Dragon City.
This is a scene that Shen Qingqiu has never seen before. As far as the eye can see, it is all filled with dense winding paths and overcrowded dilapidated low houses. Mountains of domestic garbage are piled up in their living environment, and there are irritating things everywhere. The disgusting flies and the unspeakable stench.
As soon as Shen Qingqing got off the shuttle, she saw a group of half-dressed women, carrying an old metal can, waiting in a long queue to receive water. This water was a necessity for their lives, and everyone had to pay a certain amount of star coins. , to obtain water rights.
One after another, many naked children could be seen next to them. They were all dark and looked at the shuttle with envious expressions. But no one dared to come close.
"Where is this?" Shen quietly frowned. She really couldn't imagine that there was such a place under the eyes of the empire.
Haven’t humans already realized the new technological era?
Jiang Zhixian sneered, "A place that I dare not mark on the map."
More and more poor people are discovering their presence. In those dark corners, there are pairs of greedy and fierce eyes.
They have no moral constraints, only hunger and crime. They rob if they have nothing to eat, and they can even kill people for a piece of moldy bread. No one dares to go near the slums. They have no status in the empire, cannot work, and can only live in the garbage dump. Find some useful things in exchange for a little money.
Children who are born are basically left alone, and the mortality rate is frighteningly high. The fate of women is even more tragic. They rely on some flesh and blood business to make ends meet, and often die of disease in the end.
Along the way, Shen quietly saw many stinking corpses lying in corners without anyone noticing. Occasionally, they passed by a few wild dogs and sniffed them together, but they soon lost interest.
People die here every day, which is really not unusual. Wild dogs eat people and are eaten by people. Just thinking about this scene is horrifying.
Jiang Zhixian walked up to a skinny young man with a sullen face, raised his foot and touched his knee.
"Find me someone."
The young man wiped his nose. His bare upper body had clear ribs, like a withered skeleton. His eyes were big, and he looked at the two of them as if he were seeing the God of Wealth.
"Five star coins!" He stretched out his fingers and said stumblingly.
Jiang Zhixian glanced sideways slightly, and just as he was about to say something, the young man swallowed slowly as if he was afraid, and took back one of his fingers. "Four stars...star coins will do, too."
He probably doesn't want much, the boy thought. The man and woman in front of him didn't look like they were very poor, so they probably couldn't afford the payment.
Once you have money, you can buy medicine for your grandma. I heard that Black Beard has received a new batch of medicine that has just expired and the effect is very good.
The young man's worried expression was really heartbreaking.
Shen Qingqing felt soft-hearted for a moment, and just as he was about to promise more reward, Jiang Zhixian quickly stopped him with his quick eyes and hands.
"Okay, just 4 star coins." He said.
Shen Qingqian frowned slightly and whispered, "Why are you so stingy?"
"I can give him 400 star coins, but he has to live to take it." Jiang Zhixian motioned to Shen to quietly look to the right. As expected, there were two or three men there, watching furtively.
Under such circumstances, no matter how much money Jiang Zhixian gave the young man, he would not be able to keep it.
Sympathy is the cheapest thing in the slums. They live like ants, and everyone is struggling on the line of life and death.
Jiang Zhixian opened the virtual screen in his hand, pulled up a photo, and asked the young man, "Have you seen her?"
The girl in the photo is young and beautiful. She looks like she has just grown up. She is the age of a flower. She has fair skin, a baby face, and a pair of beautiful dimples when she smiles. She is wearing a white shirt and two pierced hair. With twin ponytails, the whole person exudes youthful vitality.
The young man stared at the photo carefully, and finally shook his head, "We don't have such a beautiful girl here."
He told the truth.
Jiang Zhixian stared at the photo thoughtfully. He must be here, but his appearance must be completely different from when he was studying in the imperial capital.
He pulled up the girl's information and said to the boy: "Her name is Bai Xue. When she was sent here a year ago, her legs were probably broken."
"Broken leg?" The young man thought for a moment, then a flash of light flashed before his eyes, "Oh, you mean the lame sheep!"
"Sheep?" Shen quietly said subconsciously.
"Yes, she was sent to us. I heard that she came from the imperial capital and is our most popular female sheep." The young man said, as if to prove that he really knew, he even described it vividly: " I heard them say that although the lame sheep has a broken leg, its skin is white and its flesh is tender, so it must have been a young lady from a noble family."
"Okay, shut up!" Jiang Zhixian interrupted him.
At this time, Shen Qingqing's face had turned dark. She had not seen it with her own eyes, but she seemed to have felt the life of a young girl who was gradually withering.
The young man lowered his head in a sullen voice, vaguely feeling that his boss was angry.
He was a little at a loss, "Then, do you still want me to lead the way?"
Jiang Zhixian was a little impatient. If he had known that the kitten would be unhappy, he might as well have done it himself.
"Forget it, let him lead the way." Shen quietly pulled Jiang Zhixian's hand and said slowly.
