Cosma Empire

If this time does not leave here, then Durin will face the siege of several mobs armed with weapons. Although he came from the country, although he looked a bit straight, he is definitely not an idiot.

Watching Mad Dog Vince rushing over with a knife, Durin turned and ran. He does not think that his flesh and arms can block the greeting of sharp irons.

One person ran in front, several people chased in the back, after chasing almost two streets, the latter people gasped and stopped, watching the still running Durin disappearing into the corner, the breath even changed. It’s hard to get up. They are gang members, not athletes. It may be very good to ask them to fight and kill. But they are really not good at running such things.

“That… what is the kid?”, mad enough Vince to hold the lamppost on the side of the road, like a tired Haba mouth, vomiting his tongue and breathing heavily. The pain in his chest is partly due to the rapid gasping that makes the mucous membranes in the trachea dry and tight, while the other part is qi.

The roots around him walked with his hands on his knees, and he said intermittently: “Like… called…Durin?”

After stopping the run, Vince got a little better. He slammed on the lamppost and shot a few Mars. “Let our people find him!”

Durin, who had traveled a long distance, did not find that after chasing the soldiers, he stopped breathing. He was very uncomfortable, not because he might face gangs’ revenge, or because he was uncomfortable because he lost enough. It is uncomfortable to let him go to the chance of success.

He punched the wall on the side of the road. These damn gang members are really awful.

At the same time, he still has a question in his mind, what is the security fee.

Since he came to the city, there hasn’t been a single thing, except for the one dollar he earned on the first day. No one wants to recruit him, and there is no way to make money. Every day, he has to endure an unpleasant taste in the bridge. The food that is eaten is also the cheapest whole-grain bread. The stuff is harder than the bricks. Only a few white spots can be left with a stone. Drinking groundwater pumped by the roadside pump has not been eaten for most of the time.

It was hard to find an opportunity for him to fulfill his life’s wishes, but it was destroyed by these people.

Some of the frustrations bypassed the two streets and returned to the bridge hole. He needed a good, quiet thinking about the future. But when he was close to the bridge, the whole person was stunned. Because there are many wild dogs and mice near the bridge hole, he cleaned the bridge hole and made a simple door with a piece of discarded wood. When he left, he blocked the bridge hole and prevented the rats or wild dogs from slipping in to destroy him. Backpack and clothes.

But now… the door has cracked and was thrown aside. He rushed into the bridge and the whole person became disheartened.

Everything was gone, including the damn cigarette box. He hid the cigarette box behind a loose brick, and now the brick is at his feet, and the small iron box is gone.

It’s been almost a month since I’ve had one thing to do. He’s stunned and sits on the floor against the wall of the bridge hole, his face squinting.

why?

Is this God’s torture to me?

The first time he gave birth, he returned to the country, and then he spent the rest of his life in a mediocre way. But very quickly, this thought was swallowed up by the mad flame, his hands slowly put down, clenched into fists, and his eyes twitched a few times.

No, I can’t just go back. This is not God’s torture to me, but the test of God for me! Rushing over, rushing past is a smooth road of light. If I fall here, I will be a countryman who is not seen by people for a lifetime! God has given me precious wealth, how can I be degraded? Nothing can stop me, isn’t that something difficult? Come on, fight you and die!

He touched the four five-pound coins in his pocket and turned away from the bridge hole. Now his idea is no longer how to quickly become a decent person in the upper class, but how to survive in the city and then find The road to the ideal.

“Are you sure?”, an old man with gray hair and a golden silk reading glasses in his left eyelids looked up at him. The old man was very well dressed, the decent suit and the white shirt set off a very noble temperament. In the face of the elderly’s inquiries, Durin forced nodded.

This is the recruitment office of the steam locomotive station. The steam locomotive is something similar to the train in Durin’s dream. Both need rails, but the power source is different. The train drives steam to create a heavy wagon by burning the boiler, while the steam locomotive uses something called twins as the power source. It is only necessary to place the twin crystals in the mechanical packing port, and with some catalyst, the twin crystals can continuously release unimaginable heat and gas.

At this time, add some water and steam will appear. It includes cars on the road, and some large machinery in the construction site, almost as long as it is machinery, are made of twins.

Tenel City may be a bustling metropolis in the eyes of Durin, but it is nothing but a border town for the entire empire. There is basically nothing good except for the production of food and hides.

Oh, yes, there is wine.

Although Tenel is just a border town, it does not prevent the “Tenel Station” from becoming an important part of the entire Empire Rail Transit. Every day there are steam locomotives passing by, unloading a lot of cargo, or loading a lot of cargo, and then leaving here.

Whether loading or unloading, it needs to be done manually. It is said that in some of the most prosperous cities in the empire, machinery has been used to replace the work of manpower, and more than one parade has erupted.

Of course, in such a rural place, it is obviously cheaper to use labor.

Coolie is always the bottom of the work. But if there is some ability to be tolerant, who would like to spend a lot of time and energy in this way to earn the most meager salary?

So when Durin comes to the porter, the station manager needs to confirm it again and again.

“You can call me Chris. Before you work, you need to sign an agreement. You need to work at the station for at least six months, and within six months, no matter what reason you left the station, A penalty of fifty yuan must be paid.” Chris took a contract from the drawer and placed it on the table. “The salary per month is a piece of five. Every time you carry a standard item, you have Two cents reward.”

“Besides, we will provide you with a place to live. There are two meals a day. You don’t need to pay anything else. If you have no other objections, you can sign it here.” Chris transferred the agreement. Direction, the index finger is poked at the top of the agreement and pushed forward.

Durin looked at the agreement on the table, and for a long time, he was embarrassed to say: “I’m sorry, I won’t write my name.”

Chris raised his brow and didn’t show any expression of ridicule. He nodded slightly. “You don’t have to worry about children. Many people who work here will not write their own names.” He re-adjusted the agreement. After signing the name of Durin Cosma, I took out a red clay box. “Press a handprint here.”

“Although there may be some… so, I think you should be young, at least learn how to read the newspaper, how to write your own name, what do you say?”

Durin stepped back and took two steps. He felt that he was getting closer to Mr. Chris, and the closer he was to the clean red, extravagant table, the more humble he was.

People should be equal, but in this room, facing Mr. Chris, he feels that there is nothing equal!

He lowered his head and complied. “Yes, I am going to find a school after I want to make money.”

Mr. Chris took a look at the agreement and took it out and pushed it to the edge of the table. “Very good, learning can improve people’s literacy and cognition. I know there is a place for professors who are slightly older, and the price. Very cheap. Of course, you should also understand that if you can learn something in a cheap place, the key lies in yourself.”

He was just about to end the conversation and suddenly remembered something. “Right, after you signed the agreement, you are the worker at the station. In a few days, there may be people from the union coming to you. My suggestion is not to treat them as one. “He’s going.” He laughed, put the agreement into the drawer, and then clasped his hands and fingers on the table. “Well, you can go back. Before 5 am tomorrow, I will report to the station warehouse. Someone will tell. What are you doing?”

After leaving Mr. Chris’s office, Durin often took a deep breath.

Since ascending to the skies with a single leap is just a wishful and ridiculous arrogance, then fall to the ground and walk on the ground!
