Did You See My Husband

The distribution of houses and alleys in the slums constitutes the character "Well". There are many people living on the periphery of the well, and the farther you go to the center, the less people live there. The periphery is close to Jinse Avenue, and the location is better. It is the territory that most people compete for.

Many houses in the well collapsed and blocked the alleys. People here walked directly from the pile of rubble, which was inconvenient at first, but after walking a lot, they got used to it.

The ruins are piled with broken stones and steel bars, which are uneven. If they are not careful, they will fall down and hold people down. At the beginning, they walked very unsteadily. Several times they almost stepped on the air. Luo Ye dragged her behind him, and his strong arms wrapped Holding her waist, half-supporting and half-holding led her across those bumpy roads.

When passing a broken wall, Chu Chu stood on the wall, ready to jump off.

Luo Ye stood under the broken wall and watched, and when he jumped down, he subconsciously reached out to catch her.

Chu Niao wrapped her neck around his neck and was a little higher than him. When she lowered her head, she could see his involuntary frown. The corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising, and she tightened her tightly-circled arms.

Although he has no memory of their past lives, he can always reveal his inadvertent care in the details, which is enough for her.

He has never been a person with such rich emotions, and he has given her rare tenderness.

The two continued to walk into the well. There were obviously not as many residents inside as there were outside, but the two of them saw quite a few half-old children carrying buckets and basins along the way.

As soon as those children saw them, they all ducked to the side, like frightened little beasts, watching them vigilantly, ready to throw away things and escape at any time.

Chu Tuo stopped, bent down slightly, and faced the youngest child in a gentle tone: "Can I ask you a question?"

The child tightened the basin in his hand, looked up at her timidly, and quickly lowered himself without speaking.

Chu Chuo touched his pocket and took out a bag of small biscuits that he was going to eat when he was hungry: "This way, let's make a deal, you answer me a question, and I'll give you a cookie."

Children living in slums, no matter how young, know how to deal with people and maximize their interests. Of course, it is not that they are sophisticated, but they are forced to learn how to struggle and survive in the quagmire.

Just answering the question and getting food, even if it's not a small child, is just as tempting to anyone here.

Almost as soon as he tore open the biscuit bag, the child nodded slowly.

Chu Chuo looked at the other children: "Why are you all holding buckets and basins, what are you doing?"

"Fill water."

The child answered wisely, saying only the purpose of the bucket and the basin, but not the reason.

Chu Chu didn't mind either, so he handed him a small biscuit, and then asked, "Why do you have to go so far to pack water?"

These people do not live nearby and have to travel a long way to get water here.

The child immediately put the biscuits in his mouth and swallowed them after a few gulps, fearing that someone else would come and grab them, so he swallowed and replied: "There is no running water in the slum, there is only one well for water, and everyone has to go there. Get some water."
