Juliana’s workshop Chapter 32: Lei’s character

　　Lei led Julius through the dark passage. Julius held the torch high to illuminate the road ahead of Lei; and Lei held a bag in her hand, which was filled with pebbles. Naturally, Lei didn’t have such a hobby of picking up pebbles to play with, it was no ordinary pebbles. She is dragging the bag with her right hand, and holding a few small stones of different shapes in her left hand. This small stone is round and pointed, milky white, and has a smooth surface… If it’s just that, it’s just a little peculiar little stone. This stone has a pale white fluorescence, in the dark, even if there is no fire, it is quite dazzling. Every time she walked a certain distance, she squatted down and stuffed the pebbles into the gaps that might fit, preferably in places where it is difficult to get them out. Or you will find the gap in the surrounding wall and press the small stone in.

　　 After entering the entrance with the iron fence, Lei has been doing this kind of work. This is indeed a job, a price for her to get free access.

　　 Julius has been following Lei. Now the passage is safe and there is nothing to do. He just needs to hold the torch and he is idle. In addition to paying attention to the surrounding situation, he is also observing Lei. This petite girl was stuffing milky white shining pebbles in her hand into the gap between things on the way, and used it as a signpost. This guide stone has built a gleaming road that has a constant distance.

　　 Julius is already familiar with the sewer, but this is the first time he has come to a brand new place. “You have never brought me here before… Is this place newly discovered by you?”

　　 Julius has a question in his mind. After entering the iron gate that usually cannot be passed through, Lei led him on the intricate passage for a long time. He circled on the left and walked straight on the right for a long distance. He almost lost his sense of direction when he walked. Just stopped. The sewer on the side behind the iron fence does not seem to be dangerous, but there are more pipes, and not only around, but also above the head and underground. The hole in the ground makes people worry about whether they will stumble and fall, while the pipes above make people worry about whether there will be heavy objects falling and smashing the unlucky ones underneath.

　　 “Don’t worry, we are on a new road now. This place is really easy to get lost, but I can’t.” Lei replied. In this narrow and dark space, even if there is fire, it will not make people feel a little bright, and it is not bad to have negative emotions. Moreover, in this kind of space, the flow of time seems to be frozen, giving people the feeling that they have been walking for a long time, but this may be just an illusion, it is just that the human senses prolong time.

　　Lei looks like a mess. At first Julius was a little worried about whether she was really messing around, but when she was at the entrance of a certain cave, she took out the guide stone and started to mark it. At the time, he understood that Lei was not walking around.

　　 From then on to the present, Lei has been walking silently in front, only occasionally squatting down or getting close to the wall with a small stone as a mark. If Lei hadn’t deceived the mouse to say to those people, then the marked road she left now would lead to a new area. And Julius knows Lei’s character very well. She is a child struggling to survive, but she won’t go crazy because of it… at least she won’t get anything by cheating.

　　 Julius believed in Lei, so he didn’t say much, but in such a space, silence is also a torture. “Why did you take this job? I don’t think you are such a selfless person.” Julius said. Because the relationship is pretty good, Julius didn’t speak very politely, not to mention the two of them couldn’t get along with each other if they were polite—this is not only his and Lei’s unique way of getting along, but it may also be most of the rats. The way the residents deal with. There is not too much euphemism, only simple and direct.

　　 “Of course I am not. If I can monopolize everything in a place, I will definitely do it.” Lei replied, “But I can’t do it, I can’t even bring something a little heavier by myself. Go… I can only bring some small and light things, and I don’t know if they are worth the money.” At this point, Lei smiled, “Since I can’t eat so many things by myself, there will always be someone sooner or later. I found it, so I’d better sell it while it’s still worth the money. Besides, you and I can’t move around in the new area. Maybe there will be dozens of small ones. Fangs eat us without leaving any bones~ IndoMTL.com~ Lei’s words really make sense, and Julius has nothing to say. This poor little mouse is not as greedy as other scavengers and smart enough , And contentment. Julius at Lei’s age, but not Lei’s consciousness, if he learns that there is a large slice of sweet fruit waiting to be picked, he will never tell others, even if he can’t eat it alone. Finally, most of the fruit will rot on the branches or on the ground. People will change due to different environments. Julius is an orphan who lives hard in a remote village, and Lei lives in the way of the mouse. It’s a messy place, and mice that have to come to the sewers to pick up waste… At least Julius thinks that his previous days in the village are no worse than Lei. Before the two of them partnered, he and she were actually not doing well.

　　 “Sometimes I always think that you are just in the skin of a child, but it is no different from an adult.” Julius said.

　　 “I also want to grow up quickly.” Lei replied, “If I can live to grow up, that would be great.”

　　 Such heavy words came from a little girl, which may not be normal in itself. But Julius has to get used to this, otherwise he can’t make a living in a place like Rat Road, nor can he get along with a little girl like Lei.

　　 Julius didn’t know how long he had been away, but the bud in front finally stopped. She looked like an exit in front of her, and wind was pouring into it-although the fact that there was wind underground might be a strange thing in itself, Julius was already used to it.

　　”After going around in this maze-like place for so long, I finally came back here.” Lei turned her head and smiled at Julius, “I thought I would never find this way again. It seems my luck is still Not bad.”
