Eight Hundred and Twenty-Four Stinky Water

A well-dressed man stood on the edge of the road, looked at his subordinates, frowned and asked, "Can this work?"

"What's wrong? We started doing this in Bud City. It's convenient and efficient." His subordinates didn't take it seriously, and replied with certainty.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." This decent man didn't insist on his own opinion, and nodded in agreement with his subordinates.

Anyway, what he wants is to complete the work here as soon as possible, and as for how to complete it, he is actually unwilling to care about it.

"Son, are you willing to accept this job?" The man symbolically asked the child who took this job, and it was a process.

"Yes, sir, I am willing to accept this job." The boy nodded and replied seriously.

"This job is dangerous and scary, are you prepared?" The man emphasized, this is also a routine.

"I'm not afraid, sir," the boy continued. This is the standard answer, because only by saying that can he get his wages.

"You are a brave child...Tansen, have you discussed the matter of remuneration clearly with this child?" The well-dressed man asked a question he cared about.

The Elland Hill Empire did not completely prohibit the employment of child labor. As long as everyone is willing, no one will pursue this kind of transaction. Although child labor is very rare in areas such as Serris, in other parts of the empire, many children still have to work for their lives.

"Yes, sir, if he completes this job, he can get 3 gold coins as a reward." Tansen's subordinate nodded and replied.

"It's really cheap." The well-dressed man sneered, this price is indeed much cheaper than the previous estimate.

If it's all at this cost, he can finish the work here quickly and save a lot of cost. The only thing that makes him regret is that in places further south, this method is no longer feasible.

"This is the price here, and I have already given it very high." The subordinate called Tansen looked at the thin child in front of him, and said to his boss.

The decent man walked away with his hands behind his back: "Let him work quickly... This month, we will finish all the work here. You know, time is money."

In the dark, narrow space where there is hardly any light,

The thin boy crawled forward with difficulty.

There was a smelly liquid under his body, and he didn't know how it was formed and accumulated—but he didn't like the smell, it was like the smell of rotting corpses, the smell of many corpses.

With all his strength, he held his breath, dragged the heavy thing behind him and slowly crawled forward bit by bit, and he didn't care about the stinky water under his body with his bony arms.

"Squeak..." A huge mouse was frightened and passed in front of him. Those eyes, in this dark environment, emitted a frightening faint light.

"Hiss..." The mouse startled the little boy, but he didn't yell, because if he yelled, the mission might fail this time.

The person who hired him for this job is not very talkative. Once he reveals his fear, maybe the other party will give the money to other children.

He must finish this job very well and quickly, which is very important for a child from a poor family like him.

"Hmm..." He felt that he was about to suffocate, the air here was too turbid. Not to mention the bad smell, but also mixed with despairing darkness.

However, he remembered the shiny gold coin in his pocket. If he completes the task this time, he can get the other two...

Here, three gold coins is already a windfall, at least for a poor boy like him, it is definitely a windfall!

So, he gritted his teeth and continued to crawl forward. The huge mouse seemed no longer so scary in front of him.

Because he was crawling forward, his elbows were already in unbearable pain due to frequent bumps. He felt that there must be blood there, but he couldn't stop.

In this narrow space, he couldn't even turn his head back, he could only crawl forward and keep climbing...

At some point, he saw the light in front of him, and this light was like heaven to him, making his whole body warm up in an instant.

So he crawled forward even harder, because when he climbed to the bright place over there, he could get out of this damned small space, and he could also get the other two tempting gold coins!

"Hurry up! Don't dawdle!" Someone's voice echoed in the bright place. He crawled desperately, and his whole body became excited.

At this time, the heavy objects tied behind him seemed to become less heavy. He ignored the unpleasant smell on his face and the sharpness of the gravel beneath him, and quickly crawled to the place where the light came from.

"Good job." A hand with rubber gloves reached out to him, and then pulled him out of the small space.

The boy finally saw the light again. He squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, feeling as if his whole body had been reborn.

"Okay! You did a good job." The man named Tansen threw two gold coins to the boy covered in foul-smelling black water, and waved at him in disgust: "Let's go! Let's go! Go and have a good wash. bath!"

The two workers behind him are connecting the various cables brought by the boy. Their job is to pass the network cables and cables through the narrow sewers and spread them all over the city.

The sewer projects of the Alan Hill Empire are uneven, and many places can only rely on very primitive methods to lay various cables.

In some cities, the pipelines are narrow, so only small children can be used to complete the underground work. Some children even fell into a coma or even died below due to lack of oxygen.

No matter how glamorous this world is, there are still unsatisfactory places in the dark. Even though the Alan Hill Empire is strong enough to be admired by all foreign enemies, there are still places inside that the light cannot shine.

"Sir... I, I can do it again..." The boy covered in stinky water held three coins, his face full of expectations.

"...Okay, take a good rest here, and find me at the next manhole cover in a few minutes, understand?" Tansen pointed to the place where the cable drum was stored in the distance, and said to the boy.
