——

Yunshi is not a very beautiful place.

Just as there is lightning and thunder in the sky, and the rainbow after the rain; the earth is lush and vitality, and the mountains and rocks are rotten, and there is a beautiful side, and there will be a corresponding and unbeautiful side.

"The Siren District is the less beautiful side of this city."

The boy sitting on a pile of discarded steel pipes closed the old little notebook in his hand and gently took it back into his small iron box.

"Whether it is the prosperity of the commercial area, the family competition in the first-class area, or the chaos in the evil area, it has nothing to do with it. Because no one will pay attention to who is there in the garbage dump."

Although he was still a nine-year-old child, the boy seemed to have seen through the world, his tone was neither sad nor happy, as if he was just a soulless doll.

"And if we want to make a living here, we can only study hard and let ourselves work in District 15." Jumped off the discarded steel pipe, the boy carried the big bag placed beside him. It contained their dinner today - the weeds dug in this small open space.

"I understand, stupid Xiaowu."

"I got it, you're so annoying, Xiaoyi."

Another child who was kneeling on the floor honestly curled his lips and said reluctantly: "I will finish all my homework next time before I will pick up the garbage."

"You say this every time, but you don't do it every time."

The boy sighed.

Ying Nanyi and Qi Wu are their names.

They grew up in District 1 and could only live in District 1. From the age of five, they had to do labor and various jobs to continue living.

I can’t eat enough, I’m ragged in clothes, and I have to work and earn money every day to earn some food to survive. Occasionally, when teachers in District 15 come, I go to listen to classes and do homework... This kind of life is their normal state.

When Ying Nanyi pulled it up from the floor, Qi Wu rubbed his weak legs, took two steps, and pretended to ask inadvertently: "Where has Xiaoke gone? Why didn't I see her today?"

Ying Nanyi paused. "Don't ask random things that you shouldn't ask."

"Is she going to be sold?" Qi Wu suddenly became excited, with panic in his eyes. "I heard Uncle Qi say he wanted to sell her..."

Children like them, as long as they look pretty, will be sold, regardless of gender. Because there are some psychopaths in the villain area, as long as there are channels, life is the most despicable goods in the Siren City.

A few children of unknown origins were raised by old men called "Uncle Seven". This guy is also a bastard, greedy, lustful, alcoholic and gambling. He basically has been involved in most of the bad habits in the evil zone. If Uncle Seven himself had not had much money, the children would have long wondered if he would have done something to violate the humanitarian bottom line in secret.

"Don't think about it. Do you still remember Sister Yun who has always liked Xiaoke? She went to work in District 15 and has money. Yesterday, when she was on vacation, she brought a lot of money to Uncle Qi and said she wanted to take Xiaoke away. However, Xiaoke said she wanted to pack up her things, so she left today. Sister Yun also said that she wanted to bring gifts."

Ying Nanyi is a smart child, one of the few people who can make Uncle Qi happy and have the right to act freely to a certain extent. When he lied, he must be very skillful and would not be seen by the seven-year-old child. "Besides, Uncle Qi always talks nonsense when he is drunk. Who knows if he wants to do something else? He deliberately said this to you so that you can do something wrong stupidly and bring you into the pit."

"Oh..." Qi Wuxiao's face was full of confusion. Ying Nanyi said so many words at once, and he was almost confused.

It would be strange if a seven-year-old child thinks more. Ying Nanyi successfully deceived him because it was not the first time that Uncle Qi cheated him.

Just like last time, he said that Qi Wu only found 100 silver coins in the garbage dump within one day, and Uncle Qi gave him delicious food. As a result, let alone 100 silver coins, he couldn't even find ten copper coins. This is the case when everyone went to find them together.

"You go back first. I also want to find Uncle Qi." Ying Nanyi handed the small box to Qi Wu and asked him to take it back.

Qi Wu nodded, and then followed the way he came back to their small building.

At this time, this child, who was too young, had no idea at all, and Ying Nanyi looked at him with reluctance.

He didn't know what it meant to hand over this "treasure" he usually cherished.

Children in District 1 are the most enviable children in the first-class areas, who are born in big families in the first-class areas, who have the talent for cultivation and love for their parents, but birds who can fly in the high sky.

At least, it looks free.

"Your voice is a signpost""

"A feather bird, geese (a bird, chirping)"

"In the name of the name, I explore the name of the name (in the nameless sky, find yourself)"

“…”

This song is the song taught to the children by the old woman who once took care of their children in the small building.

We walked and sang while we walked, and the sound passed through the sky with the wind and spread to far and far places. But he stopped halfway through the singing.

When learning this song, Ying Nanyi did not study it seriously because he didn't like its tune. Later, when Grandma Wen Li passed away, he no longer had the opportunity to continue learning.

Following the shadow of the building, walking through the dark alley. Ying Nanyi specially carried the road without anyone. Because he didn't want the person who knew Uncle Qi to see him passing by here. However, in contrast, the "road" here is not a road at all. Utility rooms, garbage dumps, abandoned open spaces... Indeed, most of the people here live like rats passing by. Ying Nanyi is the same, fortunately, he has long been used to it.

Uncle Qi came to the vicinity of another small building in District 1, breathing the more turbid air here. The boy's steps were a little heavy, and his heart began to beating nervously.

But he didn't stop.

"Small strange."

Standing on the few long bricks he had piled up here earlier, climbed into the building from the vent, and came to the place where Uncle Qiguan was from, Ying Nanyi could see the little girl locked in the room at a glance.

Big eyes, skin that is not tanned, and long golden hair. Even if you haven't eaten for a day and a night, you still look very energetic. After seeing him, you quickly stood up and called out his name.

Ying Nanyi took out the key and skillfully opened the lock. He took out half of the cold steamed bun from his small pocket. He stuffed it into Shake's hand and said in a quick tone: "Go quickly, go to District 15, don't come back."

Sha didn't want to accept the steamed bun, because it must have been taken down by Ying Nanyi from his dinner. But the girl could not compare to the boy's strength. She wanted to stuff the steamed bun back into his pocket, but she couldn't move because she was pulled by her hands.

Shake gritted his teeth: "Why are you coming? You will be beaten to death by Uncle Seven!"

Her appearance is definitely outstanding in the first area. Even if it is placed in the first-class area, it is considered a beauty, so it is easy to be taken by. Uncle Qi has never sold her before because she is too young and is too lazy to raise a few interesting families. But yesterday, a vendor who collects young girls suddenly came and offered him a price that made him very excited. Uncle Qi locked her up here and planned to let someone borrow her tonight.

But if Ying Nanyi really lets go of Sha Ke, a child who can sell for a high price, then he still wants to continue to live in Uncle Qi's hands, and his hope is slim.

"I don't care." Ying Nanyi wanted to put a smile on his face, but he worked hard and found that he couldn't do it. He also worked very hard and lived to this day.

Ying Nanyi picked up the steamed bun and stuffed it into Shake's mouth. "I promised Sister Yun to take good care of you. Moreover, I am useful to Uncle Qi. He will not kill me. So, after eating, you will have the strength to go further."

"But..." Halfway through his words, Sha Ke couldn't resist Ying Nanyi, so he could only swallow the steamed buns in his mouth.

——But Uncle Qi also said that Yingnanyi is just one of them, the smarter and obedient one. There are still many people who want to replace him.

"Anyway, I have already stole his keys. No matter whether you are letting go or not, Uncle Qi will punish me." Ying Nanyi took her out of the small building and then pulled her all the way to a small alley with the crowd, and put a little silver coins he had hidden here in Shake's hand. "Go to find rye, it will definitely have a way to get you money."

Seeing that Shake was planning to continue talking nonsense with him, Ying Nanyi stood behind her with a cold face, reached out and pushed her.

This push allowed the girl to take two steps ahead and walk outside the alley where the sun shines.

Shake's hairband was not tied tightly, so he pushed it loosened. The golden hair shone brightly in the sun.

She turned around, and in her eyes, she was delighted, unbearable, sad, mixed with light gold and silver blue, and these beautiful strange eyes also reflected the darkness in the alley, which was not that desperate.

People are as beautiful as picturesque.

Shake wanted to walk to Ying Nanyi again, but the boy's eyes stopped her.

"...Xiaoyi, you must survive... OK?"

After Shake finished speaking, she forgot what she had said. She wanted to cry a little.

"good."

Ying Nanyi looked at her turning around and ran away quickly until he could no longer find her.

"call……"

Until now, the boy's feet became weak and his hands were trembling in fear.

After taking a few deep breaths, Ying Nanyi's mind was empty and there was only one thought left.

——Go away quickly.

The further you go, the better.

This is not a good place. So it's good to be able to escape at least one.
