The car drove along the narrow but neat streets, surrounded by dilapidated wooden houses, two-story bungalows.
This is the fifth-class immigration area on the outskirts of Guanghui City, also known as the famous slum. Because Li Dalong is a criminal and a refugee, he is not eligible to live in the urban area.
Being able to settle here was only possible because Zheng Dazhuang put in a lot of effort.
Li Dalong was very calm. He never thought that after years of hard work, he would one day land in Tianxing in this way.
Fate is so absurd!
The car stopped in front of a burnt bungalow. Li Dalong's eyes immediately became moist because he saw a simple wooden billboard with the writing on it still clear: "Longhua Maintenance Shop!"
There are small words on the lower right side: "Contact person: Yuan Xiaowu, contact number: aat032391, our store undertakes the following business..."
Almost all the remaining walls were reduced to ruins, but a picture of that year appeared before Li Dalong's eyes. The difficult steps when he first arrived at Tianxing, the hard work with tools, the unexpected surprise reunion, the sweetness of knowing each other and falling in love... Suddenly one day The bad news comes, Shen Tong commits suicide by jumping off the building, tensions rise in the court, ruthless verdicts, helpless tears, the shop catches fire, thugs commit crimes, and finally Xiao Wu is hit by a car and dies...
There are so many injustices in the world, so many heroic tears for the prodigal son, all the love, hatred and resentment have turned into ruins. Li Dalong clenched his fist again. There is a kind of anger that will never be forgotten at any time.
Xiao Wu, I'm sorry! I'm late! Li Dalong sighed secretly.
"I have already contacted you. You will live in the house next door!" Seeing his sad expression, Zheng Dazhuang took the initiative to explain, "The house was built by the federal government, and you need to go to the public welfare center for the monthly rent of 500 credits. Pay, this box is entrusted to you by my client. Remember to report to the Charity Center every day and follow the arrangements of the staff there. If you have any difficulties, please contact me."
It's nonsense to contact him. Li Dalong is now impoverished and doesn't even have a mobile phone for communication. Contacting him is a piece of cake. A lawyer is always a lawyer, not a nanny.
Instead, the box contained a helmet from "The Ninth Continent" and a piece of paper, with a line of neat handwriting written on it:
Xiao Wuhe was buried in Cemetery No. 110, Area 11, and Shen Tong’s ashes were picked up by his parents!
Just two simple sentences. It makes people have infinite doubts.
But what Li Dalong has to do now is not to doubt, but to settle down as soon as possible, and then go to the charity center to report.
The facilities in the bungalow could not be more basic, with a small wooden table and broken chairs, and not even a bed. There are a few quilts in the corner of the room on the second floor, which is not enough to make the floor.
There are also electric lights, water pipes, and international space network on the first floor, but there are no water glasses or buckets. If you want to buy them, you have to have money.
After a night's rest, Li Dalong went to the charity center in the suburbs of Guanghui City to report early the next morning.
The Charity Center is a very special organization on Tianxing. It recruits volunteers here. Most of them are engaged in heavy physical work. A few wealthy people come here to volunteer because they are bored. They usually provide free psychological consultation, flower planting, charity promotion, etc. wait.
It's no wonder that Li Dalong came here in his current capacity and was treated so well.
The staff in the lobby on the first floor saw that he was wearing tattered clothes and carrying a tool box - in fact, this box was found by him in the ruins of the Longhua maintenance shop last night, and it was obviously what Xiao Wu used during his lifetime.
Various scanning instruments were randomly scanning Li Dalong's body, and the results soon appeared on the optical computer screen. A bearded staff member snorted disdainfully: "Li Dalong, a D-level criminal, has been undergoing reform through labor for two years, and the first term will not be allowed."
Bail, huh, what the hell is that?"
His voice was extremely loud, which attracted the attention of other people in the hall. It is not unusual for criminals serving their sentences outside prison to volunteer here, but in Guanghui City, it is normal for such volunteers to be despised.
Facing the disdainful looks and comments from all around, Li Dalong couldn't care about it. He just walked up to the bearded man and said, "Sir, what can I do today?"
The bearded man said coldly: "What should we do? A garbage like you deserves it. You deserve to be reformed and go sweep the streets! Go and push the environmental protection truck to the garbage station!"
Li Dalong nodded: "Okay, where is the location?"
There was a female staff member wearing a hair comb next to her who couldn't stand it anymore: "Xiaoji, don't be so rude. Criminals also have human rights, so be polite to others."
Xiaoji said coldly: "Human rights? Does he deserve it? I'm giving him preferential treatment. I asked him to clean Wutong Street in District F13, so I'm taking care of him."
Hearing this, he pressed his hair comb helplessly and said with a kind face: "Li Dalong, go quickly and pick up the tools at the storage point nearby. There will be dry food and drinking water at noon. Take it with you. When you finish work early, you will come back here to report.
, I hope you can commute your sentence as soon as possible."
Li Dalong said expressionlessly: "Thank you!"
The so-called tools are a lot of brooms, shovels, gloves and cleaning tools, and the dry food is two shriveled cold steamed buns. This will be his only source of food every day in the days to come.
But he didn't complain and limped outside, dragging a lot of tools.
In the original fight with the Tianlong troops, his thigh was seriously injured. Although he was briefly treated in the detention area, the wound still did not fully recover.
In the eyes of the hair comb, this is a very pitiful criminal. Of course, if she knew who Li Dalong was and what crimes he committed, she probably wouldn't think so.
District F13 is located in a relatively quiet area of the city. It is a residential area in a first-class citizen area. It is named Wutong Street because of the green grass everywhere and the streets lined with sycamores.
In order to keep the environment tidy, smart robots will place two environmentally friendly vehicles to store domestic waste every day. However, various detailed cleaning tasks need to be done manually, usually by volunteers.
That Xiaoji also had his own reasons for arranging for Li Dalong to come to this place. It was indeed a preferential treatment for him.
But the workload of criminals is huge, and ordinary people can't bear it. The first thing is to clean the flower beds, pick up paper scraps and peelings into the environmental protection vehicle, wipe the street lights, spray water and detergent on the streets, check public facilities, and the last thing
The most annoying thing is to manually open all the garbage one by one, distinguish the recyclable and non-recyclable garbage, and then load them into environmentally friendly vehicles separately, waiting for the robots to be hauled away for routine inspection.
This process cannot be done by ordinary people. Don’t look at this. Not every resident is good at quality. When Li Dalong cleaned up a bag of moldy garbage, he found that there were cigarette butts, phlegm, peels, worm-infested vegetables, and even a razor blade in it.
and pins. Not to mention the stinky smell. My palms were constantly pricked. After working for a while, my hands were covered with blood.
However, years of physical labor were nothing to him. The sun was shining brightly at noon, and Li Dalong, who was tired, sat down alone on the side of a street with few people. He opened the food bag and slowly nibbled two pieces with cold water.
Little steamed buns.
His expression was always calm, without any dissatisfaction or sorrow, because he knew that this path was his own choice, and people should not regret their choice.
His labor efficiency is very high. After a simple lunch, the two environmentally friendly vehicles have been sorted and the intelligent robot has arrived.
However, at this time, a luxurious Jingli Dynamic car drove into this street, and two environmentally friendly vehicles were being processed, completely blocking the road on the left.
The luxury car stopped, the passenger door opened, and a young man in a suit and ties stepped out. He held his nose and stepped forward: "What's going on?"
The speaker on the small intelligent robot rang: "Hello, cleaning is in progress, please wait a moment!"
Under normal circumstances, if the robot answers like this, it proves that there is something wrong with the cleaner. The young man walked up to the robot, inserted his personal information card and took a look. He was furious: "It turns out that it is a criminal doing volunteer work, bastard, you know who is sitting in the car?"
Are you looking for someone? How important our matter is, but it is blocking our way. Can you afford the consequences of delay?"
As the boy spoke, he rushed forward and pushed Li Dalong. This push did not push Li Dalong. Instead, he was knocked back two steps and felt like he had hit an iron plate.
Are you kidding me? Do you think Li Dalong's physical fitness is as weak as yours?
But faced with such provocation and venting, Li Dalong could only choose to endure it silently: "I'm sorry for delaying you, I'll be fine soon!"
"You're so tall!" Seeing that he was afraid of getting into trouble, the young man couldn't help but rush up and push his shoulder.
This time Li Dalong could only step aside gently. He didn't want to cause trouble, let alone hurt the young man. If he really tried hard, the young man's arm would be broken immediately.
"Ah ha, you still dare to hide?" The young man was angry, and rushed forward to twist Li Dalong's collar, "Damn you, you are a criminal, do you believe that I will slap you with a slap in the face?"
At this time, the rear window of the luxury car was rolled down, and a beautiful woman coughed twice: "A Xing!"
Axing immediately returned with a flattering smile: "Mr. Wang, that guy is a criminal and is blocking the way."
Mr. Wang looked very dignified: "That person should be serving his sentence. If you have anything to say, please speak up and don't touch others."
Ah Xing glanced at the person next to her: "Aren't I afraid of delaying Miss Qu's schedule? I'm a little anxious!"
There is also a woman sitting next to Mr. Wang, but this woman is wearing a pair of big sunglasses, covering half of her face, and a purple silk scarf tied around her neck. Her true face is basically invisible, but even so, that kind of
The temperament and charm can also make people feel that they must have a charming face under the sunglasses.
But unfortunately, Miss Qu had no reaction at all when faced with Ah Xing's flattery.
Soon, the robot towed the environmentally friendly vehicle away, and Li Dalong dragged his limping thigh back toward the charity center under the scorching sun.
Luo Che did not react because Miss Qu said: "Wait!"
Axing said in surprise: "Miss Qu, do you have any other instructions?"
There were no instructions, because she kept watching Li Dalong who was leaving towards the intersection. It wasn't until the short and ragged figure completely disappeared that she turned around and said calmly: "Let's go!"
The luxury car restarted and drove towards the other end of the street, slowly disappearing among the green trees. (To be continued...)
