Hesta didn't know why, but still walked back to Eleven and squatted down as before. Eleven immediately walked around behind Hesta, jumped on her back, and hugged Hesta's neck tightly with both hands.
Hesta understood. She held Eleven's thigh with one hand, stood up and stood up.
The two of them were walking on a country road late at night. From time to time, Eleven would raise his hand and wipe his eyes.
"Crying?" Hesta asked in a low voice.
Eleven didn't understand Hesta's question, but the hand holding Hesta's neck tightened.
"It's so kind of you," Eleven leaned on Hesta's shoulder and murmured to himself, "It's so kind... that you would come out to me."
…
This night, Hesta and Eleven slept together all night.
The three of them slept peacefully until dawn. Early the next morning, Yugali woke up early and went alone to the room where the fire was lit for cooking to prepare breakfast.
"You got up so early." Hesta followed and walked over.
Yugali turned around in surprise, "...Did I disturb you?"
"No," Hesta replied, "I was a light sleeper and Eleven was still asleep."
At the mention of Eleven, Yugali's face dropped again, and her eyes fell back to the brick stove in front of her, "I can't figure out what you are thinking anyway. This child has evil intentions and his family background is also complicated... haha , Anyway, I explained everything to you last night, you can figure it out yourself."
Hesta smiled, "I am such a big man that I won't be betrayed by a child."
Yugali took a deep breath almost immediately. She turned back and stared at the person in front of her with a stern and concerned look, "You are a Hesta, how can you take it so lightly?"
"Are a lot of people staring at us?"
Yugali frowned slightly, "Have you not been stared at?"
"I used to dye my hair and wear wigs when I was working," Hesta recalled seriously, "but I did encounter some trouble because of this hair color when I was a child."
"Anyway, be careful. There are a lot of people with bad intentions in this area. When I first came here, I met a group of liars who pretended to be Hesta people. They would dye their hair. They become the same color as us, and then trick you into following them."
“Where can I meet such a liar?”
Yugali turned around in disbelief, "What?"
"If I meet them, I will kill them all." Hesta replied, "This way they can no longer lie to others."
Eucalyptus sneered.
"I know you have been a soldier, but don't underestimate this group of people... Do you know that there is a saying that 'a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake'?"
Hesta did not refute, she slowly walked to Yugali and handed her something.
"We haven't finished talking last night." Hesta said softly.
"say what?"
"Why are you going to Mihailo's place."
"What else could it be because of?" Yugali glanced at Hesta, "I'm short of money."
"What do you want the money for?"
"...Don't worry about it, it's not your problem."
"Asking others to help give birth to a child is prohibited in the third district, and I remember the same is true in the fourteenth district." Hesta looked at Yugali's side face, "Mihaloy also claimed that he never did anything illegal. Aren't you afraid that he will lie to you about the disciplinary matter?"
"He really didn't lie about this matter," Yugali said expressionlessly, "This matter is indeed illegal in the South 14th District, but it is no longer illegal in the North 14th District."
"……How to say?"
"As long as the procedures are in compliance, the North 14th District allows specific institutions to operate this type of business, but the price is very high because every link is heavily taxed."
"How many will be in your hands in the end?"
"A lot," Yugali lowered his eyes slightly, "a lot."
"I've heard about related surgeries before, and the risks involved—"
"I definitely know better than you. I have carefully understood each one." Yugali cut off Hesta's words with a higher voice, "...but you don't have to worry about me. Mihailo has someone there." There are two forms to choose from, and the one I chose has very little risk, almost the same as a normal pregnancy.”
"...How much money are you short of?"
"I told you, don't worry about it." Yugali frowned, "Just follow the arrangements of your superiors. When you have official status, you can go to school normally and then find a job... Don't I’m worried about these crooked ways.”
Just as Hesta was about to say something, she heard the sound of Eleven turning over, followed by an earth-shattering cry:
"simple--!"
After a while, with clattering footsteps, Eleven rushed to the room where Hesta and Yugali were.
"You guys are whispering behind my back again!?"
"You go out." Yugali glanced at Hesta, "After a while, she went crazy and turned the pot over."
…
This morning, Hesta and Eucalyptus cooked noodles, but Eleven refused to touch them, claiming that Eucalyptus would poison her portion. Yugali laughed angrily - there was only one bowl here, and after one bowl was taken out, the rest of the people ate in front of the pot. She didn't know how to poison her to achieve precise poisoning.
Near seven o'clock, Yugali was about to leave, and Hesta was also going to leave. Eleven was very angry about this, but he still chased after them, but followed them far behind.
"What are your plans next?" Yugali asked, "Are you just going to spend time here?"
"It's not killing time," Hesta replied, "I'm waiting for someone to come to me."
"who?"
"A lady named Yu Xuekun, she seems to work over there in Orange Town."
"...Does she know you're trapped here now?"
"She'll find out if she looks it up," Hesta replied, "I've left her a clue."
"Then what if she never comes? Can you keep lingering here? Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Give her some time and let her think of a solution," Hesta laughed. "She can't pick up my people, so she must be more anxious than me now."
"You...what are you thinking," Yugali sighed with emotion, "I see that you don't know how to write the word anxiety at all these days."
…
Entering the city, Yugali took the bus and left alone. Hesta made an appointment with her to meet here at six o'clock in the evening, and then they could return to their residence outside the city together.
After not eating all morning and walking for such a long time, Eleven was hungry, but when he saw the breakfast cart passing by, he was reluctant to spend money to buy it.
"Are you hungry?" Hesta looked down at her.
"I'm not hungry!" Eleven replied loudly, "But where are you going to eat for lunch? Don't expect me to spend money on you! I won't give you a penny!"
"I'll take you to dinner now."
Eleven was doubtful, "...Really? Where can I eat?"
"Vera Care Center," Hesta answered.
