After his death, Xie Yunsui was bound to the Myriad Worlds Shop and became its proprietor.
The Myriad Worlds Shop had been tragically thrown into a spatiotemporal rift by its previous owner, ...
Wasteland Garbage Planet 15 Laugh
Ford seemed to have fallen for him.
Kahn suddenly realized the problem.
After providing Ford with a small amount of protein biscuits and water, he told him to pick up more trash and exchange it for supplies so that his life would be better in the future.
Ford nodded repeatedly, but came again two days later.
"The last time I collected materials, I only exchanged for so little food. I ate it all in two days. It will take several more days before I can exchange for supplies again."
"Kahn, good boy, please help me again. I don't eat much. I just need a few egg white pancakes and a few bottles of water."
Kahn said with a serious face, "Ford, now that we can exchange scrap materials for supplies, we can earn enough for a week just by picking them up every day. Are you not picking them up carefully?"
"Oh, it's so hot during the day. I have to drink two bottles of water in one day under the sun. I don't have that much water."
"If you don't pick up trash more seriously, I won't give you water for free anymore."
"Okay, I'll go to the garbage dump later, but can you let me eat first? I don't have the energy to pick up trash."
Looking at Ford's pitiful expression, Kahn couldn't bear it and gave him some egg white biscuits and water.
"Kahn, good boy."
Before leaving, Ford touched Kahn's head and smiled happily.
But a few days later, Kahn came again, with the same old excuse. This time, Kahn refused to give him anything. When Ford saw that he could not get food and water, his face suddenly changed.
"You said before that I could come to you anytime and anywhere to ask for water. Don't you admit it?"
Kahn choked. "I mean, provide water filtered from the water purification device."
"That's what I want. Isn't your device constantly spewing water? Just give it to me."
"But this only produces two bottles of water a day. The water you drink is exchanged by my parents."
"It's all the same. Just give me the water you exchanged first, and you can keep the purified water. It's always in your house anyway, so you can use it however you want."
Kahn was furious. He stopped Ford and said, "Ford, that's enough. I've already given you a lot of protein cookies and water. Anyway, I helped you through a difficult time. You have to survive on your own from now on."
Ford complained, "If you don't have the ability, don't pretend to be a good person..."
Kahn was extremely angry. He did not understand why Ford was so lazy. He was doing good deeds just like in his previous life. In his previous life, everyone was very nice. They would share water with each other when there was not enough water, and they would go to the garbage dump to collect materials for him to make more water purification devices. At that time, no one had ever begged Kahn to give them water. Why was Ford so lazy that he was not even willing to earn supplies or collect materials for himself?
He said sternly, "I won't give you water anymore. Leave now."
Ford's eyes narrowed. This little brat, Kahn, was not even as tall as his chest, but he was acting like an adult in front of him.
This reminded him of Hassan, who often acted like this, asking him to pick up trash and not giving him food if he didn't go out.
Hassan would really beat him, and Ford couldn't beat Hassan who was stronger than him, so he could only go to the garbage mountain to pick up garbage.
But Kahn?
Ford is really not afraid of this kid.
Ford pushed Kahn away, rushed to the shelf, grabbed a bunch of water and protein cookies and ran away.
Kahn couldn't believe it and stood there for a while before chasing after him.
When Kahn's parents came back with supplies in the evening, they saw the house in a mess - although there was garbage everywhere in the house, the shelves where the supplies were placed were clean, and the supplies were all neatly arranged. However, most of the supplies were gone now, and some had fallen to the ground and been stepped on.
Kahn's parents: The sky is falling.
Did someone break into their house and steal supplies?
What about Kahn?
Kahn's mother was frightened and hurried out to look for Kahn.
Kahn's father remained calm and said to her, "I'll go find Lady Moira. If someone really stole the supplies and kidnapped Kahn, she won't just ignore it."
Moira's whereabouts were strange, and Kahn's father didn't find her, but just in time, he ran all the way to the shantytown and heard a lot of noise there. There were also many Rust People who came back at night and ate meringues to watch the fun.
Kahn's father had not originally intended to go over, as he did not care about the commotion, but suddenly he heard his son's cry.
"Kahn? Kahn!"
Kahn heard his father's voice and saw his father walking towards him through the crowd. The uncontrollable humiliation and anger that Ford had stirred up in him all day suddenly surged into his heart, and he burst into tears unconsciously.
"Dad, Ford stole our water and egg white pancakes!"
Ford ate and drank while arguing, and had almost finished up the looted supplies. Now he was not afraid of anything because they couldn't cut open his stomach and take the food away.
"Hey, I said, it was your son who offered to give me the water..."
"I didn't say that!"
"He not only gave me water, but also gave me protein cookies. Kahn is such a good boy..."
-
"Something's going on in the shantytown, you know?"
Early in the morning, Ximis received a message from Moira. When he heard Kahn's name, he remembered that Xie Yunsui had mentioned this person to him before, so he went to his studio to find him.
Xie Yunsui put down the hammer in his hand: "What happened? A riot?"
"That kid you said you'd give me a water purification device is going to get into trouble sooner or later. Moira just reported that he had an argument with a lazy guy in the shantytown. He said the guy stole a lot of food and water from him, but the guy claimed that nothing had happened and that it was Kahn who framed him. The two of them argued endlessly and it was a huge fight."
Xie Yunsui seemed to have anticipated this: "Each of us has our own opinions. How are you going to handle this?"
"There were people fighting over supplies before, and I gave the order to kill anyone who started it." Ximiston paused, "After that, no one started fighting. This time, it was just a verbal fight, not a physical one."
The rule of shooting to death if you strike is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Rust People, and it serves as a deterrent.
Although Moira was very impatient and wanted to send people to heaven, the Rust People strictly kept a certain distance.
Even the spectators made room for each other, fearing that Imola might see the two of them getting too close and mistakenly think they were having physical contact.
Even though the child's father's face was ashen and his arms were full of taut veins, but he hadn't taken any action, she couldn't take any action.
So it's still at a stalemate.
Ximis sat next to Xie Yunsui and looked at him: "Is that kid useful to you?"
Xie Yunsui pondered, "This kid is quite clever. Without anyone to teach him, he was able to research and develop a water purification device on his own. If he receives a proper education, he will definitely achieve something."
Themis nodded: "Then I will ask Moira to arrest that lazy guy."
Since Xie Yunsui favored the kid, Ximis simply favored him to the end.
"No, wait."
Xie Yunsui reached out and grabbed Ximis who was about to leave, and said with a faint smile: "This matter may not be entirely the fault of the lazy guy. Let's go and take a look?"
The farce in the shantytown lasted for a whole day and a whole night.
Kahn and his father stayed outside Ford's shed and refused to leave, demanding that Ford return the water and meringues.
Ford was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He had nothing, and if anyone had the guts, his house would be demolished and taken away.
The onlookers, having watched the excitement for half the night, were extremely sleepy. When they woke up, they found that the child and his father were still there. They couldn't help but say, "Don't wait any longer. Ford is so lazy. Even when his brother was around, they couldn't do anything about him. Just accept it and don't delay in collecting materials."
Kahn was very unwilling, and Kahn's father was even more unwilling, and a little confused.
How did Ford know we had water and meringue cookies at home?
Each family hides some supplies. Although the living quarters are shabby, the doors are definitely made of the best materials to prevent others from entering.
Kahn's home is even further away from the shantytown, in a cargo container conversion area. Except for the gate, there is no gap at all, and people outside generally cannot see what's going on inside.
Even if Ford passed by, he could not see the supplies inside, only a pile of discarded materials.
Unless you enter the door.
But children younger than Kahn all know that you shouldn't let Rusty People in easily. Kahn is so old now, he should know this.
Because he and his wife often go out early and come back late, they don't have the extra energy to pay attention to the supplies on the shelves.
There are quite a lot of protein cakes accumulated, and it’s not noticeable if a few or ten pieces are missing.
Several bottles of water were taken away, and people thought their son had drunk them. Besides, Kahn would fill the gap with filtered water, so it wouldn't look that big.
None of them knew that Kahn was secretly helping Ford.
Kahn originally wanted to do a good thing, so he didn't mention the Ford incident.
This led to Kahn's father always thinking that Ford had suddenly broken into his house and stolen so many supplies, which was why he was so angry.
When Ximis appeared with Xie Yunsui and Moira, he stepped forward decisively to accuse Ford of robbery.
"How much is missing?" Themis' voice was cold.
Kahn's mother finally got the news and ran over: "Twenty bottles of water and thirty egg white cookies are missing!"
She spent the entire night counting the remaining supplies, and then calculated the amount that should be consumed during the period since the last inventory to determine the quantity.
"Wow! So many!"
At first, the onlookers thought Ford had only taken some water and egg white pancakes, but when they heard Kahn's mother's count, they realized he had consumed almost ten days' worth of supplies from an average family. Wasn't that just like picking up ten days' worth of trash for nothing? If that happened to them, they'd be furious!
Ford was afraid of Moira, and even more afraid of Themis, who could give Moira orders.
He immediately defended himself: "No! Not that much! I only took a little water and egg whites yesterday. I can't hold so much by myself! Those were all given to me by Kahn! He offered to give them to me!"
Kahn's father: "You are talking nonsense! My son and you have no relationship at all, why would he take the initiative to give you so much food?"
"How should I know? Maybe he feels sorry for me. Why are you staring at me? Ask your son!"
Kahn's father patted Kahn on the back and said, "Tell me! Did you offer to give him food?"
Kahn thought about how he had approached Ford and how kind he had been, and was speechless for a moment.
In his strange silence, Kahn's parents seemed to understand something, and asked in shock and disbelief: "Kahn, why?"
Which of the supplies in the house was not saved by them through hard work?
Kahn was obsessed with researching water purification devices. He never left the house, never endured the scorching sun and the pain of being sunburned, repeatedly hitting the compressed garbage with a stick, never continuously bending over to pick up broken glass and plastic on the ground, and never dragged heavy materials home exhausted.
Why should we give away the accumulated supplies to others for free?
Seeing his parents' suddenly dejected looks, Kahn felt very uncomfortable: "I thought... after helping Ford, he would remember our kindness and help us collect materials..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard the laughter of the surrounding Rust people.
It's like hearing a great joke.
Kahn's mother's eyes were filled with tears: "How could you be so naive?"
My parents’ teachings belatedly came to my mind: don’t trust anyone except your family.
Ever since he could remember, his parents had been nagging him about this.
Kahn's face felt hot, as if he had been slapped several times.
He didn't understand why he was being laughed at by these people now, since it was clearly the same kind of relief he had done in his previous life.
