Chapter 320 Welcome

Chapter 321 Wu Wei

"It's so stupid."

Watching the welcoming crowd gathered around the station disperse from a distance, Huck, who was wearing a green vest from the city sanitation department and holding a broom in his hand, muttered in disgust.

"Hurry up! Brat! It's your turn! Clean this place up! When I come to check at noon, I don't want to see even an orange peel on the ground!"

A municipal official who was responsible for handling the subsequent clean-up of the scene was wearing a blue uniform and stared at Huck viciously, like a bad horse ready to be lazy at any time.

Huck nodded perfunctorily, holding the big broom in his hand, he came to the road that was crowded with people more than ten minutes ago, but now it was deserted, leaving only a pile of garbage, and started today's extra extra work for him. body work.

"Where are the others! What are they doing! You lazy bunch of worms! Do you still want me to clean it myself? Now is the time when heroes triumph, villains are killed, and the whole city celebrates! It's best not to do it here Give me trouble when the time comes! Work hard and your good days will come soon!”

At his urging, four or five more sanitation workers with brooms soon came over and joined the cleaning work.

"Didn't it mean that if the emperor dies, all problems will be solved?"

A young man about the same age as Huck dragged himself to him and complained in a low voice.

Turning to look at this friend who had just graduated from school with him and started working as a sweeper, Huck sneered. He kept working on his hands and spoke in a low voice that only the two of them could hear. said the voice.

"Only a fool would believe that! It's okay for the Duke's words to fool our parents. If you really know a little bit about other cities, do you really think that all the problems lie with the emperor?"

"The center is so far from Xinlan! It takes more than twenty days to travel by car! The Duke has made it clear that he has nothing to do with the royal family. Will he give the royal family a penny of the taxes we pay? Those who are sent to the royal family every day Are the gold, jewels, and diamonds on the head of our Lord the Duke, or on the head of the Emperor in the center? "

"Only a blind person can't see clearly! Only a deaf person can't hear! Only a fool thinks that the problem lies with the emperor!"

Huck was cursing and talking about these treacherous things. If he was discovered, he would be taken to the police station and his mouth would be beaten to pieces. The friend next to him who started the conversation suddenly looked around nervously.

"Don't look, that pig won't keep staring at us outside in such a cold weather. He probably doesn't know which cafe to hide in now, roasting in the fireplace and eating the beef your grandma just sold at a low price! "

"Don't say that. My grandma has raised that cow for thirteen years. This time she couldn't sell it because of my father's illness. She almost cried her eyes out."

"I won't say this is true! Look at those people, do you really think they are here to welcome the heroes? This bullshit foundation did nothing at all in the central government. It just blew up a building before escaping. After killing hundreds of innocent people like you and me, they really became heroes!"

It was as if Huck had told a big joke, and he couldn't help but smile mockingly after he finished speaking.

He swept all the garbage on the ground into a pile.

"Before, I heard some rumors from my cousin, saying that the former Pope exercised the authority of Twilight in the center and turned those unforgivable evildoers into monsters with animal heads and bodies! Just now the Foundation Some of those people had their whole heads covered with cloth. Those people must have suffered such a punishment! It’s so ridiculous that it makes people laugh out loud!”

"The only real hero is Sun Wei, the priest who chopped off the emperor's pig head with his own hands! I heard from the priests in the church who had escaped from the Central Committee that the Pope had always liked him before he died. Later, in order to practice Twilight's teachings killed many evil people in the center, and finally killed the emperor and avenged the Pope! To compare the Foundation gang with such people is simply an insult to him! "

Huck became more and more excited as he spoke. He gritted his teeth and swept the street, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on the road.

The friends around him also had sad faces.

"When I came from the municipal government in the morning, I heard someone saying that local taxes may be raised again this year, and I'm afraid the increase will be quite large."

"It's still going up! Do they really have no shame at all? I originally thought that after the emperor died, the gentlemen above would at least pretend to give the people below a breather and make us really think that things would get better, but in the end they even pretended I’m too lazy to pretend!”

"Keep your voice down, if others hear you."

"Whether your father could have survived this year or not, is there any chance of survival after the property tax is increased? What will happen to your family if he dies? Who will raise your brothers and sisters, and who will take care of your grandmother and mother? You Will you bear it alone?"

Huck seemed to have broken something, and he said vently. Just when he was about to throw the broom in his hand to the ground, his friend grabbed his arm.

"Don't! You can't just care about yourself! Think about what your cousins ​​are doing! Don't talk about Xinlan now, even other cities are looking for them everywhere. If you do something irrational, it's not just your family. , many families are really going to be ruined!”

Hearing such advice, Huck's face, which was originally full of anger, gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath and continued his work.

"No more talking, let's work. If we don't clean it up before noon, we won't have lunch today."

But with the workload of this avenue, they couldn't have a hot lunch after all.

Until two o'clock in the afternoon, when the snowflakes falling from the sky became bigger and denser, they finally completed the temporary work added today.

After receiving a piece of cold and hard bread, Huck was just about to find a place to ask for some hot water to eat this stone-like bread.

Under the parasol outside the cafe, a young man with brown hair and blue eyes smiled and held a thermos cup, pressing his shoulder.

"Hey, man, do you need some hot milk?"

Huck took a step back cautiously, looking at this young man who he didn't know but suddenly greeted.

"I don't know you."

"Wu Wei, you can call me that, or just call me Wei."

The young man said with a smile.
