Endless vast other world

Chapter 67
Back to Boqi City again.

In Kong Zhen's heart, there are a lot of emotions.

Last time, Kong Zhen came to Boqi City because he wanted to rely on Boqi City's geographical advantages to escape the pursuit of the Queen.

Now, Kong Ma has finally returned to Boqi City.

What will happen this time?
Boqi City is very close to Wangdu, and Sora and the others are in a hurry.The short journey will soon be over.

After arriving in Boqi City, Sorama proposed to go and see Ellie, Sister Ainai first.

Both Kerney and Ina agreed.So, a group of people came to the inner city together.

The inner city is the slums of Boch City.

Bocci City is bustling.However, under the prosperity, there is poverty that cannot be concealed.

Although not the first time.However, from downtown Bocci to the inner city.The huge contrast along the way still shocked Sora.

This is a desolate place.It's like a valley of ashes.

This is a weird place.It's as if it doesn't belong to this city.

Here, ashes grow like wheat.Grow into hills and hills, and gardens of strange shapes.

Here, ashes take the form of houses, chimneys and cooking smoke.

Here, the ashes have been piled up into gray people after extraordinary efforts.Walking around the ghetto like a walking dead.

Even the air that had to be breathed was reduced to a kind of ashes because of the dust.

The ruthless wind first blows the chapped land into small pits, and blows out some fishy smell from the dirty soil.Then, blow the trivial and shredded paper to the corner, playing a small whirlwind.

Sometimes, a few gray mule carts crawled slowly along an invisible track.

Mules are thin and skinny, but they pull heavy carts.From time to time, the mule would neigh in pain.

The mule cart stopped with a ghostly "creak".

As a result, the gray people around immediately swarmed up with shovels, scrambling to snatch the coal on the mule cart.

Clouds of dust are raised, blinding you to their secret activities.

Every house in the inner city is small and crowded.It is not so much a house as it is a tent.

Sorama and Keni have been here before.It was to visit Ellie's sick sister.

According to memory, Sora walked towards Ari Ainai's house.

After crossing a row of low fences, and then walking back along the dirt road for a long time.The building that appeared in front of me was a small yellow brick house.

Sora's first reaction was that he thought he was going the wrong way.

When I came last time, the house of Aili Ainai's family was still a small shack built with mud, old bricks, and rags.

But now.

The tiny house is new and looks like it was newly built.The dirt, old bricks, and rags are gone.Instead, solid bricks.

The roof of the small house was covered with a layer of solid red tiles.In front of the house, there is another layer of railings painted white.

The most amazing thing is the exterior wall of the house.

When Kongzhen came last time, the outer wall of the house was still covered with mud.Barely sheltered from the wind and rain.

And now.The exterior walls of the house are not only paved with solid yellow bricks.More importantly, there are many paintings on the wall.

The painter, although the brush is immature and rough, is very intentional.

Even the flowers and plants are full of vitality.

Really see.There are two girls on the painting.

One girl is older and looks like an older sister, the other girl looks like a younger sister.

The older sister is holding the younger sister.The two played freely in a quiet and peaceful wilderness.

Such a picture, although crude.However, with such decoration, the whole house looks fresher.

Such a picture seems to be inconsistent with the overall temperament of the inner city.Like a pagan.

Such a picture appeared in this decaying and lifeless inner city.It's like, a new green branch and leaf grows out of an old tree with dead vines.

It tells people that hope is still there, hope is still there.

Such a picture is like a guide.A light in the darkness.

Sora couldn't help but follow the guidance.

Ordinarily.It is impossible for Kong Zhen to know at this time, who is living in this house.

but.Sora is almost [-]% sure that this is Ariel Ainai's home.

That kind of vigor, that kind of vitality.They are clearly telling Kong Ma the answer.

Sora stepped forward and lightly knocked on the door.

"who's that?"

In the room, there was a childish and clear voice.

"Squeak" sound.The door opened.

Sora saw it.Sure enough, it was Aina.

Ai Nai opened the door and saw that it was Sora, she was taken aback for a moment.

Then.Her light, small body jumped up directly.

Aina jumped up and hugged Sora tightly.

"Brother Sorama!"

Sora picked up Aina and held her in the air.

Sora was very moved: "Ai Nai, unexpectedly you still remember me."

Ai Nai said: "Brother Sora, of course I remember you. If you hadn't been kind enough to give me the reward for the mission to treat my illness, I might have fallen ill and died a long time ago."

When Ai Nai saw that Kong Zhen was still following Ke Ni, she was even happier.

Ai Nai surrounded Ke Ni, yelling "Sister Ke Ni", "Sister Ke Ni".

Ai Nai welcomes Sora, Keni, and Ina into the house.

I really see it.The furnishings in the room are much better than when I came here last time.

When Sora first came here, the house was almost empty.The windows, which have been repaired repeatedly, are still broken.

There is only one wooden bed in the whole room.The comforter on the bed was full of patches.

Today, things are very different in this room.All kinds of tableware and furniture are available.Although simple, but clean.

Ai Nai told Sora: "Originally, the reason why sister Ellie became a thief was to raise money to help me treat my illness."

"Now that my illness is cured, my sister is no longer a thief."

"Now, she works as a waiter in a coffee shop."

"My sister worked very hard. Our family soon got out of trouble."

When Ai Nai said these words, there was pride in her tone.

Kong Zhen is not only excited about Ai Nai's good life now, but at the same time, a little bit, he feels distressed for Ai Nai.

She is obviously still a little girl less than ten years old, but she is already so sensible now.

Ai Nai must have experienced a lot of pain that no one else has experienced.

Pain is always a catalyst for growth.

Sora asked Ai Nai, "Where's your sister?"

Ai Nai said, "At this time, she should still be working in the coffee shop."

Kong Zhen said: "Let's go find her together, shall we?"

Ai Nai happily agreed.

Sora picked up Aina.

Aina happily rode out on Sora's neck.
