It was hot, and the hot air distorted the distant horizon.
Withdrawing his gaze, 007 turned to look at the sand pile in front of him and the concrete pile next to him. It was not easy to mix them together.
In the modern age where technology has exploded countless times, this ancient building material and method has not yet disappeared.
007 was thinking maliciously when the roar of a large truck rang in his ears again.
Two big dark red trucks with a full sense of technology, front and back, with 12 large and small wheels. The ninth-generation Red Devil engine produced by Jianjia Company gives it powerful enough power.
The ground was shaking, and the piles of sand that had been piled high were softened a lot. But after the avalanche of trucks, the pile of sand was not only steeper but also larger. 007 suddenly felt that the previous three hours had been in vain. But when he turned around and looked at the concrete that was pouring out of the mixer not far away and had piled up into a hill, 007 felt a little more motivated.
A skinny old man walked over with a jet-black thing draped over his shoulders. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't know it was his coat.
The old man's skin was dark, from head to waistband. The lower body is a pair of loose trousers of unknown color. 007 can tell where he picked them up at a glance. The original owner must be a tall, fat man.
The old man has a bit of a stoop, bent from working on construction sites for half his life.
The old man called out in his hoarse, dry voice from afar: "Xiao Li! Dinner is ready, come and have a rest."
007 is the adopted daughter of the Li family, so I call her Xiao Li.
The Li family was also a wealthy and famous family in the past, but when 007 was ten years old, it was divided up by several major families, and most of them, whether direct or collateral, were killed. The few who ran away were unlikely to cause any trouble. Others were bought as slaves.
007's mother and 007 are the same. Although mother and daughter were not bought into prostitution, they could not escape the hand of fate at the construction site. In the past four years, 007 has grown up rapidly. Both mentally and physically, he has grown up under the care of his mother. The feeling of powerlessness controlled by fate was silently endured by his mother when he was alive.
Four years later, when 007 was 14 years old, his mother died. That day, my mother went out to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and didn't come back.
007 was called out before dawn the next day. It was winter, and a light snow had just fallen, and the snow on the ground was not more than an inch thick.
The mother's clothes were messy, her upper body was open, her lower body was naked, her right arm was twisted backward abnormally, and the rough bark of the tree where she was hanged was covered with brown blood.
The mother's skinny side face was bruised and bruised by the bark of the tree, and her back was also mottled with blood. The wound had turned blue and purple, and the flesh was turned out and frozen.
After being hung for most of the night, the blood-drained body was pale except for the bruised areas, which were purple and black.
The tongue was squeezed out of the throat by a rope as thick as a finger for more than ten centimeters, and it was purple and black from the cold.
007 was silent looking at that demon-like face...
While she waited for the snow to melt under the tree for several days, no one came near her, but she did not die. Because after the snow melted, the deep scratches on the ground that were leaning towards the place where she lived that night told 007 that she must live, live well, and live as strong as her mother.
007 took off his headscarf, shook it, walked towards the old man, and said with a smile: "Uncle 33, are you tired?" Because the old man's number was 0334, and he didn't know his real name, he called him that. Moreover, 0334 is only in his early 40s. It is only reasonable for 007, who has just turned 18, to call him uncle.
0334 smiled, watching the little girl's growth in recent years. At 18 years old and 176 centimeters tall, she was as tall as herself, and she became more and more slim.
Everyone knows that 007 is not a biological child of the Li family, and those who are familiar with her don't know what kind of parents can give birth to such a girl. They have seen 007's appearance after washing his face. Hey, he's so ungrateful...
If it hadn't been for everyone's help over the years, 007 would have died so many times.
Three cooks were carrying two thermos buckets and holding a foam box. The three of them were not cleanly dressed, and they were no different from the workers on the construction site. Maybe he saved some water to wipe his face, which made him look different.
In the thermos bucket is a hodgepodge of various vegetables and noodles, cooked together. It smells okay, but the presentation is really worrying.
One scoop per person, plus a black-faced steamed bun in a foam box. Anyway, 007 cannot have enough to eat, especially when he is injured.
After 007 received it, he separated from old man 0334. It was only an hour's rest time, and 007 had to take a nap. If you are with 0334 and the others, you will inevitably be dragged into chatting.
Although the lunch box was not full, 007 still carried it carefully and sat under a shed not far from 0334, just to eat in peace. Otherwise, with her character and body, she would be robbed.
0334 has helped her a lot over the years. She is very grateful and wants to repay him, but there is nothing he can do to help. 007 watched 0334 chatting happily with his coworkers, and she was happy too.
While 007 was distracted, the black-faced steamed bun she had just taken a bite was snatched away.
Turning around suddenly, he saw a skinny half-year-old child running quickly into the distance. He was about to turn around and go somewhere, but was lifted up by a young man.
The child was about to reach out to grab the young man, but the young man changed his hand and directly changed from holding the child's waistband to grabbing his back collar. The child was choked so hard that he couldn't breathe, and he still wanted to grab the young man's hand.
His strength is not small, and the nails are four to five millimeters long, so this grasp will not be light.
But the young man still slapped him with a backhand expressionless, showing no sign of love for his children. He slapped the child directly, and then burst into tears.
The young man was unmoved, reached out and grabbed the black-faced steamed bun, and threw it into the cement pile next to him.
007, who had just run over, became anxious when he saw the young man trying to throw the crying child into the cement pile. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the young man's clothes and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, no, forget it, Brother Fang, forget it."
Fang Bai then gave up and left the child behind. Ignoring his resentful eyes, he turned his attention to 007's hand holding the corner of his clothes. 007 quickly retracted his hand and stood a little awkwardly, wiping his fingers on the inside of the back of his clothes, not because he was afraid that Fang Bai's clothes were not clean, but because he was irritated by Fang Bai's gaze just now.
Fang Bai's glance didn't mean anything else. He didn't notice 007's little move, but turned around and kicked the child into the cement pile. Fang Bai didn't stop there. He moved his toes slightly and a stone flew towards the child's right wrist.
007 reacted and was about to retort when he saw the sharp stone falling out of the child's hand and opened his mouth without speaking.
"Let's go."
Hearing this, 007 quickly turned around to follow. He didn't get too close, he just lowered his head and said nothing. Fang Bai's height of 182cm is not much taller than 007's 176cm, but 007 looks like a little doormat when he lowers his head. 007 looked at Fang Bai's sneakers, then looked at his worn-out canvas shoes and bit his lip.
Sitting where 007 was sitting just now, he took off his backpack, looked at the standing 007 and then looked at the seat next to him and said, "Are you too big or the seat I left is too small."
007 then raised his head to look at Fang Bai, and seeing that his face was still expressionless, 007 sneered. Fang Bai also smiled and said while unzipping his schoolbag: "How are you these days?"
007 hummed softly.
"There are no classes today." Fang Bai said and handed a box of dried green plums to 007. This is a specialty product on this planet and is also the most common fruit. Green plums are not big, a little bigger than grapes, and the dried fruits are about as big as your little finger. The process is complicated and tedious, but the dried fruit is delicious. Green plums are sour and sweet, so the dried fruits are also sour and sweet, but they all have a unique flavor.
Seeing that 007 was not eating in his hand, Fang Bai took it over again, opened it, handed it back, and stuffed two into his mouth. No longer caring whether she ate or not, he tore open another piece of bread, broke off half of it, and handed it to 007's mouth.
"As compensation for the black bread I threw into the cement pile, give me a taste and give it a try." Fang Bai said.
007 looked at Fang Bai and smiled bitterly, then took it and said, "I'll give you this face."
"007, don't be an outsider with me." Fang Bai picked up 007's lunch box and devoured it in a few mouthfuls. He wiped his mouth and said, "Just like I don't treat you as an outsider."
007 looked at the lunch box for a long time and sighed: "So you used this as an excuse to steal it."
Fang Bai was not embarrassed and handed over the thermos cup. 007 looked at it and asked curiously: "Why did you change it? The last one was fine."
Fang Bai smiled and said, "I took it into the forest and lost it the day before yesterday."
007 was silent for a while, then suddenly blushed, and said with some trepidation, "Forget it if you lose the cup. As long as you're fine, be careful when you go to the forest for class."
Fang Bai came closer and looked at her, 007 almost buried his head in his chest.
He stared for a long time before replying: "Okay."
007's face turned even redder, and he just nodded.
"Boy Fang."
0334's cry broke the slightly awkward silence, and 007 secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Bai also raised his head to look at 0334 and said hello: "Old man, it's darkened again after not seeing you for a few days."
0334's face twitched, and he said with a dark face: "With your virtue, don't come here anymore. If you want to kidnap 007, I will be the first to disagree."
007's face, which had just calmed down, suddenly turned red to the roots of his ears. He raised his head to avoid Fang Bai's gaze and said angrily to 0334: "Uncle! What are you talking about!"
0334 sarcastically said with a smile: "Who can't see that you are very interested in people?"
As soon as these words came out, 007's head almost started to smoke.
0334 turned to Fang Bai, who was smiling and saying nothing: "Why are you laughing? None of us know what you are doing to 007." Fang Bai still smiled and said nothing.
007 looked at him, but Fang Bai didn't respond. His heart that was still pounding seemed to have been poured with cold water. He lowered his head and bit his lower lip. He thought of something and suppressed a smile.
0334 Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and wanted to slap himself in the ear. It's all my fault that I can't control my bad mouth. Although he didn't mean any harm, he even wanted to bring the two of them together. After all, 007, a pure and kind girl, really shouldn't be.
But he has also seen what 007 looks like after cleaning up. Even an old man who is almost fifty can't control himself. You must know that he was bought as a slave, bowed his head to money, and bowed his head to power, but he has persisted until now, and he is very proud in his bones.
But such a firm heart that had been crushed and recast actually lost its composure and became heartbroken in front of a 17-year-old girl who only relied on her appearance.
Although I have never seen much of the world, I still think that 007 is already too good-looking. No matter what I liked in the past, since I saw 007, I have unconsciously used 007 as the standard. A little more is too much, and a little is too little.
Why wouldn't Fang Bai like such a girl? 0334 was a little confused. But he didn't say anything more. He laughed twice and left awkwardly. Anyway, he just came to say hello.
The atmosphere was still very silent, and 007's throat was dry from nervousness. Taking the opportunity to cough lightly, he picked up Fang Bai's thermos cup and took a sip. He pursed his lips and put a dried green plum in his mouth. It was sweet.
After chewing, he said: "Well... I have to work in the afternoon, so I need to take a nap first. You..." 007's voice was muffled, which made it less embarrassing.
Anyway, 007 thinks so...
Fang Bai turned to look at her, glancing at 007's little movements of picking green plums in the box because of nervousness. 007 pointed his fingers and was about to stop, but when he thought, wouldn't he be exposed if he stopped, he blushed and continued picking with stiff movements.
Fang Bai sneered, picked up one and put it to her mouth. 007 froze completely. After reacting, his eyes began to wander, and from time to time he glanced at the dried green plums in Fang Bai's hand. Fang Bai just held them motionless, but 007 became anxious and hesitated whether to eat them or not. I'm still a little afraid that Fang Bai is not for me, but I'm not naive so just sit there.
007 gritted his teeth, his face turned red and he was about to open his mouth to eat. Fang Bai took it farther away. 007 had never experienced this kind of thing before. Instead of becoming angry, he became even more shy. Not daring to look at Fang Bai, he pursed his lips and leaned forward again in a naive manner. Fang Bai looked at her pink lips slightly open, like a delicate peach blossom reflected in the orange burning clouds. He stayed for a moment.
The fingertips are slightly moist, like spring rain, wisps of silk, refreshing.
007 smiled sweetly at Fang Bai, feeling a little proud. Fang Bai didn't think about the rest.
He just looked away and said: "You can sleep for a while, I'll watch over you, nothing will happen to you."
"It's not that serious." 007's voice was low, obviously absent-minded.
