"Girls, I brought you some hot water." Such a small child came over carrying a hot water bucket that was bigger than his body.
After he put down the hot water bucket, Su Luo called him.
She gave the little boy a reward of cloud coins.
"Thank you, girl." The little boy looked very happy.
Su Luo asked him, "Come here, I have something to ask you."
After receiving the reward, the little boy was very enthusiastic: "Girl, please ask whatever you want to know."
Su Luo nodded and began to ask the little boy some questions about Devil's Island.
The layout of Devil's Island, its indigenous people, its economy and currency...
Su Luo asked some simple and easy questions, and she found that this child was really good.
He won't answer casually.
He knows, he will tell you in more detail.
He didn't know, he wouldn't speculate, he would honestly tell Su Luo that he didn't know, but she could go back and ask her father.
"Who is your father?" Su Luo asked.
"My daddy is the best alchemist." The little boy's eyes lit up when he mentioned his uncle, but then dimmed. "He... used to be the most powerful alchemist."
"Your father is so powerful and must have a lot of money. Why do you come out to work?" Su Luo asked.
Su Luo had already known from the questioning just now that the little boy came out to help with odd jobs because his family was so poor that they could not make ends meet.
Small jobs were often needed in this yard, so the little boy would help people do errands and other tasks in exchange for some rewards, which allowed the father and son to survive in this city.
The little boy is called Xiaonan, he is nine years old this year. Children from poor families have to grow up early, and because he starts looking for work early, he looks a little older than his actual age.
When Xiaonan heard Su Luo's question, a hint of pain appeared in his eyes.
"Dad is sick and lying in bed. Our family has spent a lot of our savings on his treatment."
"What about your mother?"
When Xiaonan mentioned her mother, her face turned full of hatred: "She's dead!"
Su Luo: “…”
It seems this is a taboo topic.
Su Luo had no interest in prying into other people's privacy, so she just stopped there and didn't ask any further questions.
but--
"Your father used to be an alchemist? The alchemist from Devil's Island?" Su Luo's eyes lit up.
"Yeah!" Xiaonan said proudly, "Daddy used to be the boss of the spaceship department! The whole department had to listen to Daddy!"
Spacecraft Department?
Su Luo's heart moved!
She was really not interested in the Shenglong spacecraft, so she dismantled the flying intelligent computer and defensive attack shells she made early on, and now they are all lying in her space.
She would never go back to that Feilong, so if she wanted to go to Yunshangyun, she had to prepare a new spaceship.
After experiencing the unpleasant incident on the Feilong, Su Luo no longer wanted to travel on a spaceship with others, because there would be too many people and too many gossips, which was not conducive to repairing the chain.
And she, including the people around her, had to race against time to repair the chain.
Thinking of this, Su Luo suddenly became interested. She said to Xiaonan, "Did your father retire from that position after he became ill?"
"Yeah!" Xiaonan nodded.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know." Xiaonan looked frustrated when he mentioned this. "We've seen all the pharmacists on Devil's Island, but no one can tell what's wrong with Dad. We on Devil's Island can't leave the island, so there's no way we can ask pharmacists outside to treat him."
