The boy in front of me looks to be less than ten years old.

"Eleven years old at the beginning of the year."

The boy replied quickly.

"Eleven years old?!"

Yi Ni raised her voice slightly. She looked at the thin boy in front of her who was obviously malnourished, paused for a moment, and then continued, "Why do they want to recruit people your age? They..."

"There are some remote machines with small entrances for maintenance and operation. It is easier for people to get in and control them,"

As the boy walked forward, he quickly replied, "It's hard to find a job now. My figure is just right. If I grow up a little, they won't want me."

There are no federal age restrictions for employees.

But this was the first time that Yi Ni intuitively realized the legal meaning behind this sentence.

Yi Ni opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, but she didn't know what to say. Finally, she sighed softly, "You are so young. I was still in fifth grade when you were here. If you don't finish elementary school,

?"

"There are a lot of jobs around here at my age,"

The boy shook his head, "But most people will choose to finish elementary school, and some people will work after graduating from junior high school. The result is the same. It's hard to find a job. People like me who are young and small can still

To find some special jobs, those who are older can only compete with adults for jobs."

Listening to the boy's natural and accustomed words, Yi Ni suddenly felt confused and fell into a brief silence.

She didn't ask again, and the boy didn't take the initiative to speak.

The two continued to move forward, and the rain still did not stop. Yi Ni followed the boy's pace and quickly walked through the narrow alleys.

After a while, Yi Ni broke the silence and asked slowly, "What did you mean when you said 'it's late' just now?"

"That's what it means literally."

The boy shook his head. At this time, he stopped and looked up ahead.

At this moment, the two of them were at a higher position. Looking around, a series of low old buildings appeared in Yi Ni's field of vision.

These old buildings seem to have been abandoned for a long time. Even the glass in the windows has been completely broken. Some windows are open, while others are sealed with boards and faded posters to prevent the wind and rain from entering.

"Look there."

The boy pointed to the roof of an old building. Under the dim light of the morning sun, there were faint figures walking there.

Yi Ni immediately raised the camera, pointed it there, and zoomed in. The distant scene appeared on the camera screen.

A huge piece of blackened metal was falling on the roof of the building. Several bright yellow isolation belts surrounded the metal. Several people in city defense uniforms were dismantling and recycling the metal.

Some people dressed as journalists took photos outside the isolation zone.

Yi Ni even saw the emblem of the largest media in Yilan City, Yilan Morning News.

"Someone has already come first."

She raised her head and spoke in a slightly lower tone.

"So you came late. Someone came when I was at work, and now I'm off work."

The boy shook his head and quickly went down the blackened steel stairs, "But you're lucky, I have photos here that no one else has."

Yi Ni raised her head, put down her camera, and quickly caught up with the boy.

The two walked around the low buildings and entered a narrow old building. Then Yi Ni followed the boy up the stairs with broken handrails.

This building has a total of five floors, and there seem to be residents on four of them. Some rooms have good doors, but no locks, and some rooms have no doors at all, with only some large plastic boards used to block the wind.

Soon, Yi Ni followed the boy to the top floor.

An unlocked red door was hidden in front of them. An iron wire passed through the holes in the door and the door frame, connecting the door and the door frame. The iron wire was then locked by a dark padlock.

.

The boy took out the key, unlocked the padlock, and pushed the door open.

The room was a little dark, and some worn plastic posters were sealed on the windows to block the wind and rain from the outside, but the whole room was still much damper and colder than a normal room.

"Jerlin, are you back?"

A hoarse voice sounded from the corner of the room.

Yi Ni looked up and saw only a small bed made of cardboard piled in the corner of the room. A vague figure was lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt.

"Well, Mom, I'm off work."

The boy skillfully clicked on a charging chandelier at the door.

With the light shining on the whole room, he walked to the small bed, reached out and touched the forehead of the figure on the bed, then quickly took out a medicine bottle from a small plastic box on the bedside, and poured out a few pills from it.

Then he pulled out the thermos water cup that was stuffed into his clothes, unscrewed the lid, and rich heat rose from the water cup.

Looking at the steaming steam, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

“The water is still hot,”

He stretched out his hand to help the figure on the bed up and leaned against the wall, "Mom, take the medicine first."

The figure took the pill and looked up at the door, "Are there guests coming?"

"Well, you came to me to buy photos."

The boy nodded and gave his mother water to swallow the medicine.

"Hello, aunt."

Yi Ni stood at the door and said hello in a somewhat reserved manner.

"Hello,"

The woman on the bed smiled hoarsely, "Welcome, our place is a bit rough..."

"Okay, stop talking, she bought the photo and left."

The boy put the steaming glass of water into his mother's arms, then raised his head and looked at Yi Ni, "Wait a moment."

He quickly walked into a pile of debris in the corner and groped around inside.

Yi Ni walked over carefully and cautiously. The pile of debris seemed to be very messy, with various worn-out electronic products piled up. There was also a plastic flyer in the very corner.

On the edge of the leaflet it says, [Health Care Code]

Most of the contents of the code are covered by debris, and only the bottom one is fully exposed, [Drink more boiled water and less raw water, patients should pay special attention to it.]

At the bottom of the code is a cartoon doctor’s avatar, labeled with artistic words, ‘Dr. Linn’.

"found it."
