Chapter 656: The Great Tang Dynasty. Twisted
After booking three more places to stay, Chu An and Gu Ye arrived near Sheng 21st Street on Seventh Street at 4:50. What they saw were hills and wooden tablets one after another, but no child was seen.
For a moment, Chu An wondered if she was being too serious. Those children obviously couldn't come, so why did she have to abide by this agreement?
"Xiao An, look and see if there is anyone there." Gu Ye suddenly pointed at some deep tire tracks and said.
The ruts were deep, like ridges in the countryside. It hadn't rained for a long time, so the raised ridges were hard and dust was flying around. A thin little boy was lying in the deep ridges, pursing his lips and closing his eyes, trying to block out the sunlight.
"Drive over and take a look." Chu An said.
Gu Ye drove the car slowly to the side of the little boy, and there was really that little guy inside.
He was blocked by a large shadow and opened his eyes slowly. When he saw the huge Hummer, he immediately supported himself with his hands on the ridges on both sides and raised his head. He blinked slowly a few times, and then coughed lightly due to the choking of the dust around him.
Chu An picked up a bottle of water and jumped out of the car, coming to the little one's side. The child must have been lying there for a long time and was confused by the sun.
"Drink some water."
The little guy didn't take it, but rolled backwards in a hurry, leaving a wheel rut, and then slowly stood up.
"Are you alone?" Chu An did not force the water. There was nothing wrong with the child being cautious, and water was distributed regularly in the outer city. If he couldn't drink a sip, he would not be here.
"Well, they haven't come yet. Can I...take on your task alone?" The little guy's voice was not loud, but he answered very seriously. Chu An could feel it.
"Okay." She didn't want to waste time talking. Even if she wanted to help this little guy, he had to lend a hand. "But this mission will be very tiring. You need to be on call 24 hours a day. You can't complete it alone. You need to find three trustworthy partners to complete it together."
The little guy had a tense face. How could he have a friend he could trust? In the entire outer city, no child was willing to be his friend, or even talk to him normally. This was obviously an impossible task.
His eyes gradually dimmed, "I...I..."
"Don't rush to answer." Chu An interrupted. She had already guessed what he was going to say. He had no family, no friends, and he didn't even know who to trust. "Listen to me and make your decision."
The little guy thought about it and had no other choice but to nod.
"Let me tell you what I'm going to do first." Chu An backed down, "I'm going to deliver some things to four locations at irregular intervals, maybe in the morning, at noon or at night.
I will give you a mobile phone. I will tell you what needs to be delivered and where it needs to be delivered in advance, and give you enough time to buy or pick it up. I will bear the cost of this part. "
Little Bit's complexion recovered a little. This task was much simpler than what he had done before, and there was no danger at all.
His previous tasks were to dig holes or climb passages for adults. Once he got stuck in a passage and almost suffocated to death. He didn't know how he got back. Anyway, he woke up and lay here in the grave. It must be a kind person who saved him, but unfortunately he didn't see that person.
“These four locations are quite far apart and sometimes they need to be delivered at the same time, so you can’t do it alone.”
"Can I just send it to one place?"
Great, finally you know how to ask questions.
"I don't want to contact so many people. If you want to accept this task, then accept it together. You can subcontract it to others. I don't care about these things. I just want the results. I will pay you per time, 5 points per person."
The little one's eyes lit up instantly. His uncle used to work outside and could only earn 3 points a month, and his mother could sometimes only earn 1 point a month. They all survived on relief food.
The little guy suddenly burst into tears. If he could have come out to earn money earlier, his uncle and mother would not have died.
"Do you want to take it?" Chu An handed the water over again, unable to bear to look at his face that looked like a talisman.
"Can I try it?" The little guy still lacked confidence.
Chu An took back the mineral water, did not answer, and turned to walk towards the passenger seat.
The little guy got anxious and chased after him immediately. In his panic, he tripped over a ridge and his already injured forehead hit another ridge. The pain was so severe that he dropped his golden beans instantly.
The already horrible forehead became even more swollen.
"I'm afraid... wuwuwu... I'm afraid I can't find anyone... wuwuwu... I'm afraid I can't do it..." The little guy didn't care about his injuries and rolled to his feet, "I... don't go..."
Chu An didn't walk fast. The little guy caught up with her but didn't dare to get close. There was nothing he could do except crying and begging, and he could only watch her get into the car.
“I was wrong, I was wrong, wuwuwu… don’t give it to me…” The little boy stomped his feet on the ground anxiously, but did not dare to approach the passenger seat.
He had seen a neighbor's little Douzi being kicked until he vomited blood and his leg was broken because he hugged an old man's leg to ask for food. His mother also told him that he should not fight or hinder adults because their power was too small. But he really wanted to stop this sister and this car.
"Please... wuwuwu." The little guy knelt down not far away with a plop and continued to knock the ground with his forehead mixed with blood and soil.
The older kids would watch him when he was getting food. He could only eat one bite. If he ate too much, he would be beaten. He needed points to buy food secretly. He also had to buy a tablet for his mother and put up offerings. Grandma Sun next door said that people without a tablet and offerings could not be reincarnated and would become wandering ghosts.
"Stop knocking." Gu Ye rolled down the passenger window and shouted outside, "Stand up, stand still."
The little one was crying uncontrollably and didn't hear what Gu Ye said at all. The big dog had no choice but to jump out of the car and pick up the little one, "Stand still, stand here, don't kowtow, don't cry."
The little kid stood there stupidly, wiping his tears with his hands. He ended up wiping some blood and then wiped it on his clothes.
Gu Ye walked back to the driver's seat, got in the car and started the engine.
Chu An looked at him in surprise, thinking that he was going to persuade him, but unexpectedly he was going to leave.
"In this way, whether he is dead or alive has nothing to do with us." Gu Ye said, but did not hear any response.
He turned around and saw an expressionless face. He sighed silently in his heart. These two kids were still out of breath.
He let go of the steering wheel, turned Chuan's shoulders, and gently stroked her brow with his thumb, "Okay, don't get yourself mad."
"I'm not angry!" Chu An said coldly.
"Yes, my Xiao An is not angry. My Xiao An just wants a ten-year-old boy to learn to be independent, but that little boy is too disappointing."
Gu Ye looked at her gently. Oh, he didn't expect that such a strong Xiao An would sometimes be unable to handle a little brat, and might even need to be coaxed.
"My Xiao An has so many points, he can find any kind of errand runner he wants, right? Asking you, a little kid, to help me is giving you a chance, but you're so timid that you don't even dare to try."
