Doomsday Totem

Chapter 34 Lily of the Valley
On this day, Tieshan Town ushered in the excitement no less than the New Year. People lined up on the street beaming, ready to receive the blessing of the Rain God and receive freshly baked toast.The line waiting for the blessing was very long, almost from the street to the end of the street.

A little boy and a one-eyed old man lined up in the middle of the queue. The little boy looked at the long queue in front of him and said to the old man anxiously, "Grandpa, there are so many people, will the bread be distributed? I'm so hungry."

The old man squinted his one eye to look at the queue, bowed his head and pondered for a while, and then said, "There are indeed a lot of people today, and it may be true that they will be finished."

When the little boy heard it, he almost shed tears.He is looking forward to the stars and the moon, waiting to eat toast.Afterwards, the little boy rolled his eyeballs, left the old man behind and ran to the front of the line.The old man watched the little boy run to the front, and for a moment he couldn't make up his mind whether to continue queuing or chase after him.If he chases after him, he must give up his current position.But if you don't chase after him, if the little boy gets into trouble, not only will he not be able to eat bread at that time, but the grandpa and grandson will also get beaten, that would be bad.Then the old man thought about it again, his grandson was still young.According to the past situation, the nuns prefer children.Thinking of this, the old man sighed, and said to himself, "Let him try his luck." If he gave up his current position, the four loaves of bread for two people might be gone. Dry food in the south.

After the little boy left the old man, he ran to the front of the line.He saw the people receiving the fragrant toast from the hands of the nun, and he felt more and more hungry.So he squeezed up, trying to jump in line to get bread.

At this time, a skinny man at the front of the line noticed that the little boy was pushing towards him.He immediately cursed, "MD, dare to join my team", before he finished speaking, he kicked him!
Only a muffled sound was heard, and the little boy was kicked out.Immediately afterwards there was another muffled sound, and the back of the little boy's head hit the floor heavily.The little boy was thrown to pieces.He first got up and looked blankly at the person who beat him, then he felt a terrible pain in his chest and head, and then, like all bullied children of this age, he sat down on the ground and cried loudly.

"Don't hit anyone!"

The little boy was crying when he suddenly heard a scolding from above his head.The voice was clear and loud, and it also carried an indescribable majesty, as if it came from the thunder above the sky.The little boy wiped his tears with his sleeve, and then opened his eyes.He found that the skinny man who kicked him just now was trembling all over, his mouth was opening and closing, but he didn't speak.

The little boy turned his head curiously and looked at the owner of the voice.The owner of the voice is an older sister in a light blue dress.Her face was cold, as if there was no emotion, no warmth.It was the first time for the little boy to see such a solemn expression.Suddenly felt a little scared, he didn't even dare to look directly, and almost wanted to close his eyes immediately.

However, in the next second, this elder sister who was like a millennium ice showed a faint smile to him.

At this moment, it was like an iceberg cracked and the dark clouds dissipated...

He seemed to see the light, the hope, and the end of the world.This alluring smile has already left an indelible mark on his young heart.From this moment on, he has a new definition of the concept of beauty.Perhaps in his lifetime, he will never be able to see a more beautiful existence than this.

"Little friend, where are the adults in your family?" the elder sister in the light blue dress asked.But the little boy's head seemed to have been knocked out, and he was stunned for a while without any response.

"I'm his grandfather, I...I'm here." A one-eyed old man ran over, picked up the little boy with a dull face, and cursed, "Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry." Then the old man Putting his hands together, he gave a monk's salute to the girl in light blue clothes, and then explained with a pious face, "My lord priest, I'm very sorry, I didn't take care of my grandson. He hasn't eaten for a few days, so he is messing around. Run and cause trouble to the adults."

"As an adult, you have to take care of children. Now that there are so many people and children are so young, they can be easily injured..." a nun stepped forward to train.

Priestess raised her hand, preventing the nun from continuing.Then she took five loaves from the nun's rattan basket, wrapped them in paper bags herself, and handed them to the little boy.Finally, she pointed to the skinny man who beat someone just now, and said to the nun beside her, "He lost one piece."

Priestess's indifferent voice seemed to have no tone, but the thin man listened, but touched his chest, as if he had been forgiven.Although the priestess in front of him was very beautiful, he didn't dare to take a second look after seeing the world.Because he knew that the priests of the Temple of Prayer for Rain had a very high religious status and transcendent status.All she needs is a word, a look, and ants like him will be wiped out.

Just then, a handsome man came over.This man was in his early twenties, and he was dressed in a gorgeous military uniform.The skinny man knew at a glance that the other party's status was extremely noble, at least only the young master of a big family in Yincheng had such an appearance.So he immediately lowered his head, appearing more and more humble.After all, these people are giants who can eat people without spit out their bones.

"Ling Lan, what happened?" the handsome man asked.

"It's okay, go and do your work." Priestess replied lightly.

While Priestess was speaking, the little boy carefully noticed that there was a faint trace of displeasure on her face.Although the little boy is not very old, he can be sure that the elder sister of the priest doesn't like that uncle.So, he wanted to say something for the priest sister.He wanted to say, "People don't like you, so go away." But, the moment he was about to speak!The old man who had been waiting beside him, with his head down and his hands down, suddenly covered his mouth.Then the old man pulled him away, nodded and bowed and said, "Thank you! Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lords."

After a while, the old man dragged the little boy into the alley and pushed him to the ground.The little boy was about to say something, but suddenly found that the old man was covered in cold sweat, and his old body trembled involuntarily.The old man seemed to be terribly frightened, and he stretched out his trembling hands to support the wall, as if he could no longer stand by his own strength.

"Grandpa, you...you...what...what's wrong with you?" The little boy was frightened for a moment. This was his only family member. He couldn't imagine a world without grandpa at all.

"Good... good, grandpa... grandpa is fine." The old man stroked the little boy's head affectionately, and said intermittently.

"Grandpa, I... I won't talk nonsense anymore." The little boy said.

"Do you know that you almost got into a catastrophe just now." The old man said earnestly, "If what you said offended that Yincheng nobleman, then from now on, there will be no place for us in this world. Even if Our grandpa and grandson will face the danger of being killed at any time when we go to the ends of the earth."

"I don't believe that the world is so big, can he find us?"

"Yes! He can! He can definitely! They have money, power, armor, armor, aircraft, and endless resources. They have everything, and they can pay for the whole world to hunt down We." The old man gritted his teeth and said fiercely.While speaking, he involuntarily looked towards Yincheng in the sky.

"Is he stronger than Iron Slag?" the little boy asked.In his mind, Tie Slag is the most powerful person in Tieshan Town.

"Iron Slag is a scum compared to him, not even a scum..." The old man sighed and continued, "Actually, Iron Slag is not bad, but he is a bit fierce, as long as you are not bad, he is not bad either. "

While the grandfather and grandson were talking about Tie Zha, Tie Zha himself was wandering around with Ye Xinling in the spare parts market not far from them.

This aftermarket is one of Iron Mountain's biggest sources of income.People in Tieshan Town sorted out the garbage thrown by Yincheng, some were recycled locally, some were gathered together and transported to Sand City for refining, some could be used directly, and some were dismantled into parts and sold in the market.People in the Silver City live in luxury, and they will throw away anything that is a little bit old or broken.However, it is precisely because of their waste that the people below can pick it up and use it.In this regard, it is really hard to tell whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage.

Iron Slag's red comet was assembled from the garbage in Yincheng. Half of its parts were picked up by Iron Slag and the old cow in the garbage dump, and the other half came from the spare parts market in Iron Mountain Town.

This spare parts market is located in the east of Tieshan Town, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters, with hundreds of stalls inside.The booths are made up of rectangular tables, then a few poles are erected, and finally canvas shades are drawn overhead.The booths are close together and filled with all kinds of parts, old and new.

Iron slag was floating around in the market, and he really couldn't understand these various parts.He came here today mainly for Lao Niu.Although Lao Niu is kind-hearted, he has a hot temper and easily conflicts with others.

Tie Slag is not worried about Lao Niu's combat effectiveness, because Lao Niu is also a traditional evolutionary.Although Jin Lao Niu's level of evolution is not as good as his, but in Tieshan Town, there are really few people who can defeat Lao Niu.Moreover, Lao Niu knows a kind of "ancestral martial arts" (as said by the old man selling guns in Shacheng), and it is said that he is quite good in fights.

But then again, why does Tie Slag say that Lao Niu is "also considered" a traditional evolutionary person? It is because Lao Niu's evolution direction is somewhat different from that of ordinary people.His evolution mainly focused on strength and stamina, with very little enhancement in other aspects.Therefore, the old cow is much lower than the iron slag in terms of body agility and nerve response speed.

According to Lao Niu’s own words, it is——“God wanted me to be a mechanic, so he gave me a lot of strength, but didn’t give me other benefits.”
