Little hero

tick-

despair.

tick-

despair.

The sound of footsteps, accompanied by the low sound of water drops, was getting closer and closer to Edgar.

This sound resounded in the hearts of the young people, shaking the string called "fear".

Suddenly, Joe gasped, leaned back, and squeezed Edgar between him and the wall. The wrapping paper of the bouquet of roses was squeezed, and the sound was usually not very loud in such an environment. But it was like thunder on the ground, and Edgar was even taken aback.

"You, don't panic," Joe tilted his head, his voice could not be lowered, "It stands to reason that there will be no such people underground." It is so dark here, even if those people really chased them down, no one would shoot No matter how good the eyesight is, no one can have the night vision like a beast.

Black is fear, and black is security.

At the end, Joe seemed to think that Edgar was a young man with poor skills and had never seen such a scene, and added soothingly: "Don't talk, just follow me, I won't let you die .”

Edgar thought that listening to Joe would better protect his own safety, so he stretched out his hand and squeezed Joe's shoulder, signaling that he understood.

The sound of footsteps disappeared when Joe finished speaking, only the sound of dripping water remained, not far from them.

Edgar's nose moved, and he felt that there seemed to be some unusual smell.

"Hi, hello," Joe's voice is still very juvenile. Although he is more mature than Edgar, who is five or six years older than him, the child is a child after all, and he can hear the forbearance in his voice. Fear, "I don't know who you are, but we are going to the tunnel, someone is chasing us."

It may not be a good way to show weakness, but it is necessary to show that you are harmless.

Facts proved that there was no problem with Joe's actions. After hearing the sound, the man paused for a while, and then made a hoarse and vague sound, like the noise made by rubbing dry wood.

Edgar repeated that voice several times in his heart, only to realize that what the person said should be the word "good".

The sound of footsteps shuffling from the door into the room, as if knowing that his presence would frighten the teenagers, the man moved against the wall, telling the teenagers that the door was open for them with a moving voice.

The smell became more and more intense, Edgar covered his nose uncomfortably, and the bouquet made another sound under his movement, Joe was almost frightened to death by the sudden sound, he quickly grabbed Edgar's waist with his backhand Sleeve, grabbed Edgar and left, and ran quickly when he finally passed the door frame!

"Hey, wait a minute—"

Edgar was caught by the door frame and managed to stand still, but then he was pulled forward frantically by Joe.He said impatiently, "Hello—"

Behind him, the hoarse voice suddenly sounded, Edgar couldn't hear what he said, he was startled, afraid that the person would repent and wouldn't let them go, so he immediately shut his mouth and ran forward.

Joe is a member of the Paradise Pavilion, and he should not be familiar with the underground passage of the Paradise Pavilion. Edgar followed him and escaped for a long distance, and did not stop until both of them were out of breath and unable to continue their physical strength.

"Ann—is it safe?" Edgar asked.

"No, I don't know." Joe gasped.

"Where is this now?" Edgar said. "You should know where the door is. Let's go up now—can we go up now? Is it safe up there?"

"Hey, don't ask, why do you have so many questions?" Joe leaned on his knees and sighed, "I said I don't know."

Edgar frowned: "What?"

"I, no, know, know!" Joe broke down, "This is too big! I don't know where the connection is! Yes! You heard me right, I mean we got lost! How do I know What is this place?!"

Edgar: "..."

After a few minutes of silence, Edgar scratched his hair irritably. This tunnel seemed to be very quiet. They couldn't hear the sound of any creature other than themselves, but such silence inevitably made people feel flustered.Edgar said, "Well, what's your name? Joe, yes, Joe. I'm going to ask you a few questions now, please answer me."

"If not, and you can't think of an answer, please try your best to answer me."

"The first one, I could go back and leave the [-]th block after the transaction was successful, but the current situation is that we are being hunted down by unknown people, and we have no choice but to run underground to save our lives, but now we don't know where we are. where is it?"

"Yes--"

"Okay, the second one," Joe obviously wanted to say something more, but Edgar interrupted him, "Are you not familiar with tunnels?"

Joe said, "No, I don't know--"

"Why?" Edgar said quickly, "Aren't you from here?"

Joe stretched out his hand and patted Edgar: "Don't interrupt me all the time! Our Paradise Pavilion is very large, covering more than half of District [-]. You should know how big District [-] is. There are five and a half districts here. The third block is so big, we are in the tunnel, but we don't even know where it is!"

"I just follow my husband. He taught me how to trade, how to lead people to the trading area, and how to deliver goods, but he never let me participate in the underground—this place is complicated, and there are many underground businesses. Our family may not be able to get out alive if we meet another family!"

Joe is not from Jidu. Of course, the people who do this kind of underground business in the fifteenth block are basically not Jidu locals. They come from all over the place. To make a living that cannot be recognized by the state, you have to worry about whether you will die in the hands of your peers or black households at any time.

"I'm good. I was originally from a remote place... Well, I was a homeless man, but I'm not that old. You may not know that in some places, children are sold when they are born, in exchange for food. , women are tortured, the children they give birth to are money, they will sell beautiful children to rich people, let them do anything, anything. I was born in that kind of place..."

Maybe he was desperate, and he didn't know what to do in this darkness. Qiao inexplicably remembered his previous life, and he didn't have any desire to confide, but he just said it.

And Edgar listened in a daze.

"I'm a boy, I don't know why, my parents are both ordinary, but I'm not ugly. And I have blond hair, so I was going to be sold when I was very young... But that year I bumped into Great luck."

It was not a great luck to say that, that year was full of disasters, floods followed by a long drought, and few people even bought children.

"We have to raise our children until they are over three years old, and we can only sell them when we can see whether they are good or not. My blond hair is very sought-after, but I am a boy, and those rich people seem to prefer blond-haired girls, so it has been delayed for a few months. , when I was about to be sold when I was about four years old, there was news in the village of getting rich from a gold mine."

"It's a very far place. We walked for more than a month to get there. We walked with our feet. There are indeed gold mines there, which belong to a rich businessman. The mining of gold mines requires a lot of coolies, so people from all over the place were recruited. , but there is no security in that kind of place, people are either exhausted, starved to death, or stoned to death, only those of us who are hungry and always dying are willing to do this kind of thing.”

Joe stayed there for many years, maybe because he was a small, unnoticed kid, maybe he learned how to survive in that environment, anyway, he outlived a lot of people.

"I was eight years old... I can't remember, maybe it was nine years old. The gold mine collapsed and a lot of people died, so I escaped in the chaos." Joe recalled, "Now speaking of it, I didn't even I don’t know what it’s called. But luckily, I’m alive and alive to meet Mr.”

Joe was brought here, Fifteenth Street, and has been a small trader in the Fifteenth Street ever since.

Mister taught him everything about Fifteenth Street, and everything about being a person.

This tunnel is really big. After such a period of time, they are still safe. There is no one around, so that the teenagers can take a breather for a while.

Edgar sighed, and he didn't know whether he was comforting or laughing at their current situation. Edgar said, "Okay, don't be sad. You are lucky to have met your husband. He doesn't even want to let this dark underground You touch, he values ​​you very much. However, it turns out that because he protected you, we don't even know how to get out."

Edgar suddenly remembered himself, his elder brother regarded Fifteenth Street as a scourge, and he didn’t know he was here if he wasn’t allowed to come—he thought that he could go back to the Eisen’s house just after the deal was over, and he didn’t expect it at all. trapped.

Edgar is not qualified to say anything about Joe, because he himself is the one who is well protected.

So he said comfortingly: "Oh, forget it, it's too rude, pretend I didn't say that. I'm very happy that you can meet your husband. Although the current situation is not optimistic, you can still do it for me. Happy with his and your luck."

Joe smiled speechlessly, wondering if he was defeated by the cute mentality of this young man who looked only eighteen or nine years old.

"Okay, Joe," Edgar cheered himself and the depressed Joe, "there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."

He thought for a while, imagining himself as Eisen, an expert in mathematics and physics with no loopholes in logic, doctor, and slowly analyzed: "Think about us. First of all, your house is being targeted. Your enemy, then it came for me. Fortunately, we were not harmed and escaped. Now we can't go back to your house, but this matter is very simple, isn't it? Just find a way to pass This tunnel fled to the ground without anyone noticing, even if our deal is over, your husband will protect your safety, and I can escape unscathed."

Joe agrees with Edgar's idea, but the question is, how can they find an exit from the lost tunnel with countless forks?

"That's the biggest problem," Joe said. "I have to admit, underground traders are not dames who like to socialize with small breeds. We rarely bond with other traders. So I can't be sure to find The owner of this exit is a kind person. He may threaten me, Mr., or your family with you, so that we can't eat and walk around. The most terrifying thing is that he may also ignore it. The gun broke our skulls."

13 Insert a "Ten Small Scenes"

Ten scenarios for couple problems:

1. Good Morning Kiss

Asking for a kiss will never be a problem that the young master needs to overcome. Whenever he thinks about it, he only needs to look at Ge'an with a certain look, and Ge'an will understand and let him get his wish.

As for the "certain look", the young master himself doesn't know exactly what it is, but according to Ge'an, it is very sticky and greasy, like a kitten with its eyes wide open and acting coquettish.

As for the good morning kiss, Edgar himself didn't know very well, because he was always awakened like this.

2. Pick clothes for each other

Edgar's clothes were always prepared by Ge'an.

3. Talk about pets

Edgar wants to raise a dog, a big dog, which has been his dream since he was a child.When the children of other dukes and princes are accompanied by dogs, he always hides and watches secretly by himself, feeling envious from the bottom of his heart.

But then he had Ge'an, a man who was almost a loyal dog.

Of course Ge'an wanted to keep a cat, for the reasons mentioned above.

But after careful consideration, they found that they don't need to raise them, because they already have them.

4. One party is bedridden

Lying in bed is a shameful thing to say, of course only Edgar would do that, Ge'an would never get sick. (In Edgar's memory, Ge'an has never been bedridden due to illness?)

When Edgar was sick, he would be more silent than usual, lying on the bed, wrapped tightly in the quilt, obediently and quietly tracking Gean's location with his eyes, showing a pitiful look.But once cured, he was a good man again.

5. Nap

No one in this house takes a nap.

6. Blow your hair

There were no hair dryers in this day and age either.

7. A certain anniversary

For Edgar, there are actually many days that can be commemorated, and for Ge'an, too.

But if both of them remember very clear and important days, then it should be the day when they met and the day when they confessed to being together. (See the text for details)

8. Boyfriend shirt

Speaking of shirts, Edgar seldom wears shirts. His knowledge of shirts is basically the same as his knowledge of parliament, and there are some inexplicable high-level banquets... Ah, what a nightmare.That's why Edgar doesn't wear shirts on purpose, but he also wears Gean's shirts. In the early morning after a good morning kiss, Gean washed up first, and Edgar sniffed the shirts in a mysterious way. Taste, then naturally(?) run through once.

Although Ge'an didn't know, Edgar himself was very ashamed, and he was awkward with Ge'an all day that day, feeling that he was not himself.

Gyan couldn't wear Edgar's shirt, it was too small for him.

9. Get up gas

Neither of them got up out of breath.Edgar would never be with a boyfriend who was an "alarm clock" if he had the urge to get up.

And Ge'an will not be angry with Edgar.

10. Review old photos

Are there any photos of that time? (The overhead is my own, I'm lazy, so I don't have it.)
