Star Railway: From being adopted by Kafka

After all, this is the lower level area, so many people are like gophers in a burrow, and their lives are like nothing.In comparison, machines are much more precious than human lives.

After Chu Mu left the orphanage, he came to the mine as usual and found a familiar foreman.

As soon as the uncle saw Chu Mu, his brows were filled with joy:

"Thank God! Boy, you finally came. There was a landslide at the entrance of the mine in the morning, and there was still a truckload of pith inside. You came just in time to take out that truckload."

Chu Mu did not agree immediately, but asked:

"Boss, the wage increase you promised me last time?"

"Boy, you know, I have to take the risk of using child labor like you. If I get caught by the Silvermane Iron Guards, the fine is not a small amount..." The foreman showed a embarrassed expression on his face.

"Boss, your family is not the only one recruiting people in the mine." Chu Mu was too lazy to talk nonsense, raised his foot and left.

"Fuck, you won!" The foreman made a decision when he saw this, and said loudly, "Just as I said last time, the Shidong City Shield, there can be no more!"

"That's about the same." Chu Mu then smiled.

Although the wages for adults were [-] Wintershields per carload of marrow, it was not bad for children to get half of it. Many foremen only gave children five to seven Wintershields.

After all, the children who can find work in the mines have no backers, and most of them are orphans.

As long as there is a capable family member, the child will not be reduced here.

"Boy, you are really a ghost." The foreman couldn't help but sighed while putting on the equipment for Chu Mu, "It would be great if my family had your brains, ha, but it's a pity that the family's capital turnover is not open now. One day when I have money, I will definitely go to the yard and adopt you."

"Then I will work hard to mine and try to make the boss earn a lot of money!" Chu Mu vowed.

"Haha, you boy!" The foreman patted Chu Mu on the back and sent him into the mine tunnel.

After Chu Mu went down, the worker next to him couldn't help asking the foreman:

"Boss, do you really plan to adopt him? People in Rivet Town can say that this guy is an unfamiliar mad dog!"

"It's all about the scene. If you do this kind of work, you might end up in the mine someday. How many children have died in the mine these years?" The foreman sneered.

When the worker heard this, he suddenly realized.

Children who enter this kind of collapsed mine tunnel to dig the pith are likely to face the danger of secondary collapse.What's more, the poisonous gas leaking from the mine tunnel may quietly kill him at any time!

The lives of such orphans are the least valuable in the mine.

If you die, no one will come to your door to ask for compensation!

The world is so cruel!

At this time, the foreman suddenly said leisurely:

"However, if he still survives a catastrophe when he is in his teens, I can consider adopting him. After all, if my child works for me, there is no reason to ask my father for wages."

The workers on the side heard this and sighed sincerely:

"No wonder you can be a foreman!"

This heart is so dark!

At this time, in the quiet and dark mine tunnel, Chu Mu crawled along the narrow gap.

He couldn't hear a sound in his ears, and what he saw with his naked eyes was pitch black, so he could only use his hands to perceive the road ahead.

Every time at this time, there is a kind of panic in his heart for no reason.

He knew that the disease was about to strike again.

With a violent heartbeat, his eardrum seemed to be pierced, and a lot of noise poured in.

The darkness in front of him is no longer pure darkness, but bright like a starry sky!

"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

……

The noisy sound is like being on the battlefield of life and death!

Suddenly, these sounds all disappeared.

The sea of ​​stars in front of me gradually dimmed, and a bitter and distant sigh sounded——

"Is this the power of the gods?"

……

Everything returned to normal, but the profuse sweating all over his body, as well as the throbbing of his heart, proved that all this was not illusory.

Since two years ago, as long as Chu Mu was in a quiet and deserted environment, or in his sleep, he would frequently see such a scene.

Moreover, he always saw some bizarre memory fragments.

It was as if a lot of memories were smashed and stuffed into his own brain.

This may also be the reason why he is more mature than his peers.

Regarding his disease, during the routine physical examination of the orphanage, only anemia was found, which was identified as malnutrition.

As for those strange dreams, adults said that it is normal for children to dream, but Chu Mu really felt that he was abnormal.

If you have a dream, you will lose half your life!

Chu Mu curled up in the narrow mine tunnel in pain, the severe pain in his heart made him almost unable to move.

This pain didn't lessen as he got used to it, but became more painful every time!

When he was in the dormitory, he often woke up from a dream in the middle of the night. He was so painful that he didn’t dare to cry out. He was afraid of disturbing his roommates. He could only bite the quilt so hard that he was often scolded by the dormitory teacher to stop biting the quilt and grinding his teeth every day. .

Chu Mu had a premonition that if this continued, he would die in the mine sooner or later.

I only hope that I can persist until the day I send Xiaobu out.

Otherwise, how uncomfortable that silly girl should be crying.

Chu Mu let out a sigh.

When the pain in his heart eased slightly, he continued to climb forward.

Suddenly, the rope on his body was pulled a few times.

When he wanted to continue to climb forward, the man held on and wouldn't let go! It was like an iron lock!

Chu Mu can guarantee that it is definitely an adult with great strength!

A bad premonition came to mind.

Chu Mu crawled back until he got out of the mine, and when he saw the person holding the rope, he cried out in his heart—it really was him!

"Officer Oleg! What do you want from me?" Chu Mu smiled flatteringly.

The person who came was Oleg, the silver-maned iron guard captain in charge of security in the lower area!

"It's you again! Are you desperate?" Oleg's face was terribly dark.

Seeing this scene, the foreman at the side knew that the two knew each other, so he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word and gave up his sophistry.

Oleg angrily walked up to the foreman, punched him in the face, and cursed:

"This is the 20-year-old dwarf worker you mentioned? This kid is from an orphanage. He is only six years old this year. How dare you?"

In the lower area, there is no concept of civilized law enforcement. For rogues who do not abide by the rules, fists are the best rules for them!

The foreman covered his face, not daring to resist Oleg at all, but his heart was full of grievances——

If he knew that Chu Mu and Oleg knew each other, he would never use this kid.

Of course, this kind of innermost feelings must not be said.

The foreman was also cunning. After being punched, he fell down without much force and simply pretended to pass out.

Delusion to escape punishment in this way.

But Oleg didn't want to spoil him, so he waved his hand directly to his subordinates and ordered:

"Take him to the public security station, lock him in a dark room, and treat him well!"

When the foreman heard the word "black house", he was so frightened that his hands trembled.

But it is useless to regret it now. Paying a fine would have solved the problem, but now I have to suffer a little bit.

Before being dragged into the car, the foreman gave Chu Mu a resentful look.

When Chu Mu saw this, his heart sank.

It seems that I am going to be blacklisted in the mine now, and I don't want to find a job here in the future, no foreman will use him as a "bad star".

If you can't go to the mine, and you can't go to the town to find work, then you can only go to the big garbage dump in the north.

It may be even more difficult to save money.

Chu Mu's heart was full of bitterness.

……

Chapter 4 The Boy and the Machine

"Boy, this is the second time I've caught you. Last time you told me that there was an alcoholic father in the family and a mother who was seriously ill in bed, so you were the only one who came out to work. You also said that you had At 12 years old, he looks young due to malnutrition."

Oleg looked at Chu Mu and continued angrily:

"Although I let you go at the time, I kept my eyes open and went to the Rivet Town Orphanage to investigate. Good guy, you are indeed from the orphanage. You are only six years old this year. You have exaggerated twice! "

"Oh, I said why the old dean suddenly locked me up for a week, so that's why." Chu Mu suddenly realized.

"As a result, you slipped out again just after the confinement was finished? Thanks to my carefulness, I stared at you here, and I caught you! What are you thinking now!" Oleg looked at Chu Mu sternly .

"I think... um..." Chu Mu hesitated, "I think, uncle, you have a lot of thoughts."

"Huh???" Oleg's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Stop being slick!" Oleg became even more angry, "Do you know how dangerous life is in this mine? What if it collapses? You're buried in it! Do you think those black-hearted guys will save you?" You come out? They just cut the rope, and then buried the hole, as if nothing happened! You just evaporated!"

"It's scary!" Chu Mu showed a scared expression.

"Are you really aware of being afraid?" Oleg said angrily, "Even if you're lucky, you get lucky every time, and you live to adulthood without any accidents. But these years of mining work, do you think that there is no harm to your body? Take the most common pneumoconiosis among miners, you will get it 100% of the time. In your 30s and [-]s, you can only lie on the hospital bed and become a useless person!"

"However, even if I don't go mining now, don't we children in the orphanage have to do this kind of work when we grow up?"
