The old man was startled for a moment, then glanced at Fang Yin and Xioni, with a smile on his face.
"Little guy, why?"
He asked, his voice very soft, as if he was talking to a child about a very common thing.
"Because I want to live. I am an orphan. I have no household registration certificate or ID card. I can only survive by picking up garbage. That's why I want to join you."
"The weak follow the strong, this is a rule that has been passed down since ancient times."
He looked at his father's reaction and secretly guessed whether the other party would agree to his conditions.
"Um!"
Dad moved the crutch a few times, and after a long silence he said:
"There are no conditions. Children like Yangtai are all homeless orphans. We gather together and help each other. This is a kind of fate. We, the Smelly Mud Clan, also rely on this fate to establish our society.
of!"
Although the old man's voice was low, it was sonorous and powerful.
"Can I do that too?"
Fang Yin suppressed his excitement and asked quickly.
"Okay, not to mention you already have a special stinky mud."
Dad nodded, then pointed to the black smelly mud next to him.
"Dad, we..."
When Yang Tai saw that the old man actually agreed to Fang Yin's joining, he quickly wanted to speak, but was still a step too late.
"Yota, shut up!"
The old man looked at him with a stern look in his eyes.
"I......"
Seeing that his father was angry, he immediately shrank and muttered:
"Hmph~, it's just a flashy slime!"
Listening to Yang Tai's muttering, Fang Yin curled his lips and ignored him.
"Child, what is your name?"
The father turned to look at him and said with a kind smile.
"noob!"
Fang Yin said.
"Very good, I am the leader of the Smelly Mud Clan. Just call me dad. Next, I will tell you about the rules here."
"First of all, everyone must hand in all the garbage they pick up. They are not allowed to keep it for themselves. Violators will be evicted from the garbage dump!"
There was a hint of intimidation in Dad's tone.
Fang Yin nodded respectfully.
Although he was dissatisfied with this broken rule, he could only endure it and wait for the opportunity.
Then, the old man talked a lot of nonsense. In short, there were a mountain of rules, one after another, which made Fang Yin feel like his ears were getting calluses.
Finally, Dad told them that the land they were on belonged to the garbage dump to the east and not to cross the boundary to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings with the Magneto family!
"Well, I understand, Dad, I will pay attention!"
Fang Yin rubbed the back of his head and grinned.
"Okay, everyone, put on your gloves and start today's work. Yang Tai, take Xiaobai with you and take good care of him!"
Dad ordered, his tone was very serious.
"oh."
Yang Tai answered dully, turned around, made a face, and threw Fang Yin a pair of rubber gloves.
"Mai Ren, Chata, you are adults today. Clean up this garbage with me. You two are responsible for transporting the good things away. Don't be lazy!"
He looked at the boy next to him, with a pressure in his eyes.
"Okay, Dad!"
"Yeah! I can help!"
Two children aged eight or nine suddenly cheered and were extremely excited.
Fang Yin was silent on the side, with a strange look in his eyes.
The Kanto area is very similar to the neon lights of the 20th century, but there are a few differences.
For example: Compulsory education here only goes to primary school, until the age of ten.
Whether you go to middle school or not is completely voluntary.
Legally speaking, if a child is ten years old or younger, he or she will be considered an adult after graduating from elementary school.
The most important point of this law is... after graduating from elementary school, people can choose their own way out.
You can go to a higher school or become a Pokémon trainer.
Of course, as long as they are willing, eleven-year-old boys and girls can get married without parental interference. As long as they do not violate traffic regulations or do anything prohibited by law, they will be regarded as adults in all aspects after the age of ten.
By the way, even the taxes are at adult levels.
After everyone is equipped with scavenging equipment.
Dad sat on the shabby sofa nearby, leaning on a cane, took out a red and white ball from his waist, and gently pressed the white button in the middle:
"Come out, smelly mud!"
A dazzling white light flashed, and a monster made of mud emerged from the elf ball.
A few drops of mud dripped from time to time on the purple body, exuding a pungent and unpleasant stench. His white pupils looked around, and finally settled on the black stinky mud body next to Fang Yin, revealing a hint of greed.
How should I describe the smell of stinky mud? It's a bit like the smell of fish and shrimp that haven't been processed for a week. In short, it makes me feel sick after just one whiff.
"Be quiet, Xiaoni. As usual, remember to sort the garbage and don't swallow valuable things, otherwise I will punish you!"
Dad glanced at Fang Yin and warned coldly.
"Baiduo! Baiduo!"
Xiangshouni's eyes narrowed slightly, he growled a few times, his body shook a few times in fear, not daring to object, then he wrapped up today's fresh garbage and started sorting it.
"How about it? Is daddy's stinky mud better than your black stinky mud?"
Yang Tai raised his chubby arms, trying to wrap his arms around Fang Yin's neck, but due to his height, he couldn't reach it at all, so he could only use a pair of fleshy palms to wave randomly in the air, which looked very funny.
He ignored Yang Tai, but stared at Xiuxianni, lost in thought, how could he train Xiuxianni to be so powerful.
At present, my biggest advantage is poison!
The stinky mud also happens to be poisonous. As long as it is cultivated properly, the stinky mud may grow into a melee nightmare.
If you hit it, it will be poisoned. Whoever you let go will cry.
However, you can't lose your body shape. If you are in doubt, Mount Tai will be there to take care of you.
"How can righteousness defeat evil? The true heart cannot overcome the delusional mind!"
Fang Yin thought silently in his heart.
"Don't be in a daze, Xiaobai, work quickly, otherwise dad will be unhappy!"
Fatty stood aside, looking at him in a daze, and urged him.
"Uh! Okay!"
Fang Yin came back to his senses and nodded quickly.
Time flies by.
Fang Yin and Xianni were squatting in the garbage pool, picking and stepping on the rotten fruits under their feet. His mood became extremely complicated, and waves of aversion to cold kept coming to his heart.
His eyes glanced at the smelly mud next to him from time to time, and he was secretly stunned. This thing was really disgusting.
The smell of the smelly mud can't be concealed even if it is deep in the garbage dump, as if it has been contaminated in a cesspool.
Fang Yin felt that his teeth were a little sore.
"Huh? This seems to be a luxury jewelry box, and the switch is very strong. It has never been opened. I just don't know what good thing it is. It should be very valuable. Hide it first!"
As he kept rummaging through the trash with both hands, his eyes suddenly lit up and he saw a box.
There is a pattern carved on the box, which looks very exquisite and beautiful. You can tell at a glance that it is worth a lot of money.
"Smelly mud, come here..."
He called Xiuni in a low voice, blocked his father's gaze with his body, and stuffed the box directly into Xiuni's body.
"If you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
He whispered to himself secretly, with a touch of determination in his eyes.
The smelly mud swayed and continued to run to the side, swallowing the garbage.
The morning's scavenging work ended quickly, and the harvest was not bad.
Fang Yin picked up some biscuits and bread and a few useless photo albums of beautiful women. All these things need to be handed over to his father.
As noon approaches, the sun breaks through the clouds and casts a golden warmth.
At the Heiyun City garbage dump, a total of seven children lined up neatly in a queue. The father, holding a cane and the smelly mud beside him, solemnly reported today's results.
"Today, the one who did the best work is Miurasuke. This kid picked up a grass gem. You have to learn from him, you know!?"
The father pointed at Miurasuke with his crutch and announced to the many children.
"yes!"
Everyone responded respectfully, but their eyes were filled with envy.
Miurasuke, this guy, will soon get his first elf with the help of his father. How jealous!
"Okay, everyone is hungry, let's go home and eat..."
After that, Dad walked forward with a cane and walked towards home.
A group of six or seven people walked on the street, and many people cast disdainful glances at them.
Because they are full of the smell of slums, that dirty smell that makes people sick to their stomachs.
