This title...
Bai Shu finally understood why she was so malicious and throwing stones from such a distance.
It seems that he hates those in power very much.
Along with this, he hates high officials and rich people.
"Is Sister Ya back?"
As soon as she said this, the wanderers gathered around the fire turned their heads. Some were wary, while others asked cautiously.
Meng Ya raised her voice: "It's me."
"Sister Ya, come on! We picked up a lot of good things tonight!"
"What are you doing there! Come on, sister!"
Before Meng Ya could stop him, two children jumped up excitedly holding the things they picked up. They were startled when they saw Bai Shu, shrank back, showing vigilance and hostility.
Just by looking at his clothes, they knew that this man was different from them and from two completely different classes.
Bai Zhu just raised his eyebrows at their looks and seemed to be a little interested: "How many children are there at this age? Let me see them all."
Meng Ya stared at her and showed a sinister smile: "They are all here, and I can kill you with just one stone per person."
"Then none of you will survive."
Bai Shu smiled lightly, but when Meng Ya still didn't move, he revealed his purpose:
"There will be a blizzard in the outer city in five days. You can continue to stay here and see if these children can survive this winter. Do you want to bet on their lives? Think carefully before you answer me. My patience is limited. This is the last chance."
Blizzard?
Meng Ya's expression became tense and turned ugly in an instant. She patted the other two children on the back shoulders and said, "You take Xiaoliu back first."
After people left, she continued to ask: "There will be a blizzard in five days, so what do you want to do? Protect us? Do you want to show kindness to the rich people of the empire?"
"If you can't learn to speak normally, then wait until you collect the corpses of all the children," Bai Zhu still smiled, and his words were so cold that people trembled, "This way when the snow melts in the spring, you can see more I’m a friend, don’t you think you’re going to be very happy?”
Happy you big-headed ghost!
Meng Ya held her breath, her eyes widened in anger but she didn't speak again.
Now that they were so close, she could of course leap up into the air, but this was something she could only do alone, and she didn't dare to risk the lives of all the street children now.
It is the same regardless of the inner city or the outer city. These high-ranking people can only play with the people at the bottom. It is impossible to have compassion at all. At most, they are moved by themselves.
The so-called relief agencies didn't have any good food. They, the street children, couldn't grab it from the homeless people. They would be beaten and forced to take it on their behalf. They couldn't even get the food into their stomachs when they saw it being served.
It's all fake!
"There is no free lunch in the world," Meng Ya heard the sound of her teeth grinding too hard, but the sarcasm was gone, "What do you want us to do?"
"It's really good to have this consciousness." But you little brats can't do much.
Baizhu has spent a lot of money on relieving disaster victims and refugees over the years. Ninety percent of the private relief offices in the outer city are run by her, but the boss who is apparently in charge is different and she cannot be traced.
Residents of the second city would have been squeezed out when they moved into the first city, and there would be a surplus of labor, so wages would be pushed lower and lower. Medicines and supplies were supplied to the army first, followed by the healthy labor force, and then the old, weak, sick and disabled. For this reason, a large number of people from the Second City died after entering the First City due to lack of timely treatment.
As for the kids…
Children are hope, but if there are too many, they become a burden. Welfare homes cannot help so many orphans. Those who do not take the initiative to enter welfare homes will not be taken care of. Children over the age of 15 will no longer be admitted, but they cannot find jobs. As a result, there are many homeless people on the streets, and they can only rely on natural disasters to deal with them "without pollution" without hurting their conscience.
War is like this, and the hardest people to endure it are ordinary people who have no money and no power.
"We'll talk about what I want you to do later." Seeing Meng Ya's obvious lack of trust, Bai Zhu felt that he still had to put up some conditions, "I can provide you with shelter, but you have to work for me. Whatever you get, you have to pay for me." .”
Meng Ya sneered: "You mean you want to hire child labor?"
Bai Zhu smiled: "You have no wages."
That doesn't count as child labor.
It is a labor of gratitude to give back to the rescue, and it is "voluntary".
The sneer at the corner of Meng Ya's mouth froze and twitched slightly. She seemed to want to swear, but she still swallowed it hard.
"I'll give you time to think about it. Take your waifs to Dis Bar in the South District. I've stored a warehouse with the one-eyed cat. There are some supplies in it that you can use, but the prerequisite is not to let other outsiders If you can't break in and fight the homeless for supplies at the relief center, you can't even defend a warehouse, right?"
Bai Shu no longer cares about how many street children there are here, because the threat of blizzard will definitely force Meng Ya to make the choice she wants, and then the specific number will be known.
Furthermore, the supplies in that warehouse were limited, and there were no powerful firearms for these wanderers to use at will.
Of course, if Meng Ya dared to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, or bite back, she would kill these children before her kindness turned into a joke.
Bai Shu will indeed do her best to protect the people of the empire, but unlike Bai Lingyu, she will make the choice that is most conducive to the safety of the people. The main premise is that they deserve to be protected.
"You don't like the high-ranking officials and rich people in the outer city, but Dis Bar should be very trusted by young people like you." It's also interesting. Don't trust the official but trust the arms dealers. You must know that Lilia's group is an arms dealer. Shang hated it extremely.
"You'd better make a choice before the blizzard comes." Bai Zhu patted Meng Ya on the shoulder, "Also, next time you throw stones and pick the weak, if you encounter someone with a worse temper than me, you will be left with nothing but holes. ”
You are the one with the worst temper.
Meng Ya raised her chin, clearly showing the purple claw marks on her neck, and sneered.
Bai Shu just squinted his eyes, pulled off the dark gray scarf and threw it to her: "I didn't strangle him to death, I just kept my hand."
It was getting late, Bai Zhu walked back, and Meng Ya pulled the scarf hard, pinching it as if to vent her anger.
"Sister, sister Ya."
The child who had been following her just now put his head in, lowered his voice and called her excitedly, and mysteriously took out a few tightly held banknotes from his pocket:
"What do you think this is? I just found it in my pocket too! Has my New Year's wish come true? It's a full five hundred points! It's enough for us to buy thick clothes and shoes, and it can also fill our stomachs!"
Meng Ya was stunned: "Where did you get the money?"
"I don't know. When I came back just now, the hood fell out as soon as I put it on. It's so amazing! Can you tell me if this is my wish... Sister Ya, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Ya pursed her lips and took a long time to say something: "Tell the others, let's go shopping now, buy food for the New Year, and eat the things we picked up after the New Year!"
The children immediately cheered: "Great! We can go shopping!"
