Beicheng District where the processing warehouse is located.

The days in winter are not as clear as those in spring, especially in this cold season. The dense snowstorm makes the sky as dark as a dark night, the wind is noisy, and the snowflakes all over the sky are falling like swords in the sky, roaring in the long street.

, slapping people in the face like a mockery.

Pedestrians didn't care about the heavy snowfall. They walked slowly down the long street wrapped in warm coats, laughing and talking calmly about which restaurant's French food was exquisite, which restaurant's dresses were so elegant, and which restaurant's dancers were so charming.

The sound of laughter and chatter combined with the snowy scenery also have a special meaning.

The white line formed by falling snow separated a corner of the alley from the long street. There were piles of garbage in the corner, almost forming a hill. There were empty food packaging bags everywhere. No one wanted to get close to it, or even take a look at it.

They all feel dirty.

But if you look carefully, you will find a blinking little head buried in the garbage.

The little girl has no other choice. For homeless children, this is the best shelter. From time to time, someone will throw a small bottle of unfinished drink or a bag of uneaten takeaway.

Those discarded garbage paper bags are so luxurious that you can cover yourself with a thick "blanket".

The little girl huddled up like a kitten in the garbage pile to resist the strong wind and cold, but the cold wind still penetrated through the gaps, like a sharp knife tip scratching her skin, making her tremble.

 “Meow~” A sweet cat meow broke the silence here.

The little girl crawled out from the garbage pile and looked outside. In the cold current of more than ten degrees below zero, she was only wearing thin long sleeves and trousers. There were even more than a dozen small holes in the clothes, and the wind and snow kept beating.

Looking at this fragile body, it seemed that she could be blown down in the next moment.

She looked at the direction where the sound came from. She thought it was a stray cat, but she didn't expect it to be a person.

 “Meow~” The boy meowed again, his amber eyes looking at her with a smile, like the most beautiful gems in the world.

 Behind Kino, Chongqing poked his head out, took a casual glance, shook his head and said, "It's a bit big, it's made of inferior material."

 There is a rule for processors in selecting raw materials - only ignorant children will be accepted. Those over 6 years old will not be accepted, no matter how talented they are.

Children over the age of 6 already have a complete independent personality and their worldview has begun to take shape. It is too difficult to cultivate. Only psychological intervention under the age of 6 is the most effective. The younger the better.

In addition to age, origin is also very important. Children who have a family and a happy childhood are absolutely unacceptable. Most of the professional processing raw materials are abandoned babies collected from all over the world. They have been raised by the base from infancy.

Convenient for subsequent carving.

The little girl in front of me should be about 6 years old in terms of development. She is already close to the principle line and is an out-and-out "inferior material".

Kino smiled and said nothing, just looked at her.

The little girl is skinny, with obvious signs of malnutrition on her body. Her whole body is covered with gray stains, covering up her original skin color, but she has an unusual pair of eyes, which are beautiful rose red.

Chino took out a toffee from his pocket, gently tore open the candy wrapper and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl hurriedly took the candy and without thinking, pushed it into her mouth and bit it hard. Although her taste buds had been numbed by the cold and could not taste anything, she still felt that this was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten.

In the past, he just watched boredly, just like Kino. He couldn't help but want to hook up with cats when he saw them, and this homeless wild cat was no exception.

 After finishing the candy, the little girl nodded gently to Kino to thank her.

“Hmm, polite little kitten.” Chino took out more toffee and asked with a smile, “Do you still want it?”

The little girl’s rose-red eyes didn’t know whether they were pure or empty. They were as transparent as gems, but as silent as dead water. Only the snowflakes in the sky and the young man in front of her were reflected in her eyes. Her eyes were fixed on the toffee.

“Just meow like a cat, and they will be yours.” Kino tore open a toffee, bit it into pieces with his own tiger teeth, and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

The little girl didn’t say anything. She just put her fingers into her mouth and licked the remaining toffee crumbs. A dazzling white patch was revealed on her fingertips, which was the original skin color covered by the gray stains.

She stood silently, neither speaking nor looking at Kino again.

Kino shrugged, turned and left. A kitten that can't act coquettishly is no fun.

He pinched the leftover toffee wrapper tightly and threw it back. The candy wrapper drew a beautiful parabola in the air and fell accurately into the garbage pile.

The little girl opened her shockingly thin legs and ran to the garbage dump to rummage around.

There may still be milk candy shavings left on the candy wrapper, and the energy provided after eating can help her live a few more minutes this winter...

 If you don’t have a few minutes, a few seconds will be fine...

 If you hold on until spring, you can live another year...

  She kept digging through the garbage. All the food packaging bags were clean. It was obvious that they had been searched over and over again. She was so stubborn and hard working to find the hope of survival.

"I O your whole family!" Just as the little girl was picking up the garbage, an angry roar suddenly came from behind, followed by a feeling of weightlessness, and she was kicked and fell into the garbage pile.

There was a man and a woman standing not far away. The man was wearing a black trench coat, with a scar on his face and a sinister look between his brows. He should be a member of the underground forces.

 The woman’s appearance is outstanding, but her angular contours are aggressive, which makes people feel that she is not the type to get along well with.

There were several bags of garbage scattered around the man's feet. Apparently, the little girl didn't pay attention behind her when she was pulling, and threw the dirty garbage on him.

I don’t know whether it was luck or misfortune. After being kicked away, the little girl happened to find the candy wrapper thrown by Chino. There were really some toffee crumbs in it. She quickly picked it off and put it in her mouth, for fear that someone would take it away.

 It is safe as long as it is eaten in the stomach.

 “I’ll eat you to pieces!” The man had a very violent personality. He kicked her once but didn’t understand her hatred, and then kicked her directly on the little girl again, causing the half-eaten candy wrapper to fall to the ground.

 The little girl fell into the garbage pile, her whole body was submerged, and the weight almost made her suffocate.

She struggled to get out, but the man and woman were already standing in front of her.

 The woman looked at her with the disgust of a wild dog: "You bitch, do you know how much his clothes cost? You can't even afford to sell you as a child bride!"

The little girl subconsciously backed away until her back was pressed against the wall and she could no longer retreat. Her rose-red eyes were still looking at them warily.

“You’re hungry and want to eat, right?” The man crushed a glass bottle on the ground, kicked a piece of sharp glass over, and said sarcastically, “Eat this, and I’ll spare you.”

The little girl glanced at the two men, suddenly grabbed a bag of garbage and threw it at the man's face, and prepared to run away in the other direction.

"Fuck!" The man had no time to dodge, and the garbage bag spread out on his face, pouring dirty water on his face. His whole body smelled bad. His temper erupted like a volcano. He caught up with the little girl in a few steps, clenched his fingers into fists, and faced her.

That little body was swung out fiercely.

“Bang!” The little girl was knocked straight away and fell to the ground. Her side ribs were throbbing with pain. Her body was shrinking into a ball uncontrollably, and cold sweat was pouring out instantly.

"You bastard, you dare to fight back? I'll kill you!" With dirty anger on his face and a violent nature, the man twisted his neck ferociously, grabbed the beer bottle on the ground, and threw it hard at the little girl's face.
