Chapter 33 Lonely Garden
However, the happy interest was destroyed by one thing. The person below reported that he had no teeth. Today, he found that someone had broken the pipe, and he had been caught.
Without teeth, immediately organize people to repair the pipeline, and the distribution is clearly organized. I cut off the water source switch at the first time, and then sent someone to the leek bamboo garden to get the bamboo and bring the night pass. Then the rest of the people prepare tools, supports, etc.
The two soon rushed to the place where the accident happened, which was the small sand dune played by the parrot who had been tragically killed in the line of duty. After the pipeline passes through the sand dune, the terrain drop is very large, and a shelf for the pipe needs to be set up about 50 meters long. When Jiang Ye set up the shelf, the design was very simple, the materials used were small, and the spacing between the shelves was also very large. On the downhill section up to 50 meters, Jiang Ye only set up 8 bamboo shelves. The shelf is not very firm, and it is less than one meter inserted into the sand.
Therefore, when the night and Wuya saw the perpetrator, they simply pushed down 2 or 3 shelves, and the whole 50-meter pipeline collapsed, and none of them survived.
A child who was skinny, ragged, and even wore straw shoes was brought to the toothless. Maybe the child is only about ten years old, or the child is too thin and weak, and there is no magic and the fluctuation of fighting spirit, so he was not beaten and injured before.
"Don't ask. I already know that this is a child in the lonely garden. I guess he is either deaf or mute." Wuya was not angry, but waved his men to take the child away. By the way, he added, "Arrange this child into the gardener's team to plant trees, and don't let others know about his destruction of the pipe."
The child was taken away, and the night asked, "What's going on? They are as disabled as before me. I can't understand why they do such an out of line, as if it's not good for them, right?
After hearing this, Wuya shook his head and sighed, "Xiao Yeye, it seems that you don't know a lot of things."
Wuya continued to ask, "There is no fighting spirit or magic fluctuation in this child, and there is no mechanical inheritance. Have you noticed it?"
He nodded at night. It seems that he has thought of the key: "Yes, these children are disabled and can't learn skills. They definitely can't become Mo. They can't support themselves by completing mercenary tasks. But why do they destroy our pipes? Do they hate pipes?
Toothless sighed deeply: "They do have a reason to hate pipes. Although our lonely city hosts orphans and the elderly, it does not have the strength to make each of them get the food and clothing necessary for life. Among them, some children are born disabled, and some old people lose part of their bodies because of the war, so they have no ability to live. These people can't become mercenaries to support themselves, so they are sent to the lonely garden.
"Lonely Garden?" It was the first time I heard this word.
"Yes, the lonely garden, children with no ability enter the lonely garden, and the elderly who have no ability to survive enter the lonely garden. If you haven't even heard of the Lonely Garden, then you probably haven't heard of the lunatic asylum. Madhouses are those children who are out of control because of the loss of their loved ones in the war, or people who are born mentally abnormal, or those who have a mental breakdown in a mercenary mission. They will be sent to the lunatic asylum.
Lonely Garden, like the madhouse, is a place where the lonely city houses vulnerable groups, because the lonely city is only a neutral holy place, without imperial support, not so rich, and can only maintain their basic life needs. This is the so-called minimum guarantee. Their minimum guarantee is 200 ink coins a month. Except for a unified place of residence, the rest is not provided.
Two hundred ink coins a month, less than 7 ink coins a day. You can imagine how hard their lives should be. Like the child just now, they are disabled and have no special talents, so they can't become ink. Similarly, they can't have their own land like our original ink. Therefore, they can only find some work that does not require ability but is extremely tedious to get extremely low remuneration.
Picking manure, digging wells, transporting soil, chiseling stones... These jobs are dirty and tired, and may be accompanied by life-threatening. The last time I saw more than a dozen children driving a heavy drilling machine, because the earthquake was sealed in a kilometer underground, and I would never see the sun again.
Relatively speaking, helping gardeners transport water is their easiest, safest and most profitable job. Now that you have repaired the pipe, it is equivalent to taking away one of their lives. Naturally, they will resent the pipe.
The night was silent. He remembered that he was also an orphan and had a disability in his childhood. He can understand the loneliness in the dark and the loneliness of listening to the wind alone.
Relatively speaking, what a happy thing it is to be able to be with your parents when you are most lonely.
And those children of the same size as themselves, when they are most lonely, have to live for themselves and run to life with God.
Now that he is an orphan, he can better understand the pain of despair.
Maybe in the past, the night would only feel sad about this kind of thing and stop sad. However, now he has economic strength and strength in his hands, but he has a strong idea of helping them.
However, he is still a little dissatisfied with the Lonely City: Why can't they give these children more opportunities? Is it good to give them some self-reliance?
The same toothless toothless from an orphan can understand the mood of the night, but he also understands the reality: "Lonely City is not a charity, let alone the ability to do this kind of charity. The reality is so cruel."
Jang Ye said excitedly: Uncle Toothless, I want to help them. I can help a little bit.
Wuya knew what would happen to him. He once had such an idea, but it turned out that it was futile for him to help them financially: "Jiang Ye, do you want to use the money you have earned to help them? It's useless. They lack not only money, but also more important things than money. You can't give these things.
Wuya looked at the eyes of the night and said in a sighing tone, "What they lack is hope. Can you understand? A person's physical disability is not terrible. The terrible thing is that he loses his fighting spirit because of his physical disability. If you want to help them, you have to arouse their fighting spirit and the will of our Mo people, but these things can only rely on themselves, and the influence of external forces is minimal.
Over the years, I have also seen through it. This is also a cruel law, the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest. God is giving birth to suffering to these old people and children. He has been torturing them for years, but he has not given them any hope. I think God has cursed their bodies and abandoned their souls.
The night thought of the guardian of the ink on his body and the mission of protecting the ink. He did not stand up his chest. Thinking of his own experience, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He said: Uncle Toothless, although you are also an orphan, you will not understand the thoughts of the disabled. Yes, God's curse will not be so ruthless. I think I have the ability to help them one by one, otherwise I will hate my indifference.
Then he asked in an inquiring tone: Uncle Toothless, you said that a person who has never seen sunshine, and he can suddenly see a little sunshine with his eyes, so will he have more hope for life?
Tie Wuya was very smart, and he nodded. I understand the meaning of the night. If you want these people to work hard, you must first let them see hope.
"You mean to heal their bodies first?" Tie Wuya asked, "Your idea is very good, but I want to remind you that most of the disabilities of these children and the elderly are incurable."
He nodded at night. As a blind man, he knew that those congenital diseases were difficult to cure. Similarly, the incurable injuries on the battlefield also happened to those lonely old people.
"I don't hope it can be cured at once, as long as it can be improved a little. For example, if the leg is broken, we use our alchemy to install prosthetic limbs for lame people so that they can walk, which will give them a lot of encouragement." Jiang Ye took his own things as an example and said, "I have never seen it before, and I am desperate for my eyes, but I can see the world through the visual sharing of my partners. Although it is not with my own eyes, it is quite encouraging. For us, a little improvement will give us a lot of encouragement and motivation.
I know your principle, uncle. You will definitely not spend your alchemy materials for them in vain. This money comes from me. I hope you can make some prosthetic limbs, which will definitely not be very difficult for you.
And I want to find some pets that can sign contracts with people and provide visual sharing, auditory sharing and language sharing. Even if pets can't provide these abilities, it's good to be a guide animal or something.
Hearing what General Ye said, Wuya was also a little moved: "If you do good deeds, you want me to do bad people and bad things. Since you want to do it, I will do it with you. Moreover, I suggest that you not only encourage them, but also give them the ability to really improve their lives. At the same time, I also hope that these people who are helped by you can fight side by side with you in the future and be under your command, which is also a win-win and mutually beneficial, right?
The night thought that what Uncle Toothless said was very realistic and also correct. Helping them by themselves may also be helping themselves. Thinking of the mission of Mogan on his shoulders, he suddenly felt that he could not be late alone. Since it is impossible for a person to be late, let more partners do it together.
