Starry Sky Railway: People on the train, nine to five

"Planet? What is a planet?"

"The planet... is where you are now. Whether it is on the ground or underground... it all belongs to the planet. Um... (groping up and down). Here, this is a photo of your planet taken from the outside..."

"Wow... so nice! So this is what a planet looks like."

"I'm giving it to you..."

"Is this good?"

"What's wrong with that."

"I really want to go outside the planet... Unfortunately, it's hard for me to even get out of town..."

"Outside the planet... there's nothing to see. It's pitch black, and there are planets flashing with different lights..."

"(Imagine with eyes closed) No, I can't imagine what it looks like... If I have the chance, I will see with my own eyes what the world on earth is like, and maybe I can also see with my own eyes what it looks like outside the planet..."

"Well, it's possible..."

Zhou Xiao recalled the conversation he had with Xiao Hao while they were sitting on the steps of the hotel. The clearer the memory became, the more depressed he became.

He is just a child who wants to look up at the stars. He has lived a miserable life, has been bullied for so long, and lives in such a chaotic and harsh environment. However, he has not stolen, robbed, retaliated, or done bad things. Even though his eyes have been dug out, he still responds to this chaotic world with a smile...

What's wrong with him?

He just wanted to survive...

Just survive.

Zhou Xiao's left hand trembled slightly inadvertently, and a sentence suddenly came to his mind.

The hemp rope is cut at the thinnest part, and bad luck only seeks out the miserable.

He knew...there were many unknown people like Xiao Hao who died in this world, and he was not a nosy person, but he just felt a rage in his heart that he couldn't swallow.

After all...Xiao Hao treats him as a friend.

...

"I remembered!"

Just when everyone was at a loss, a member of the Mole Party seemed to remember something and brought a glimmer of hope for revenge.

...

ps: I ask for everything, I ask for everything

Chapter 34 Why are honest people always the ones to take the blame?

"I remembered!"

"What do you remember?" Hook asked hurriedly when he heard his men speak.

"I remember that I should go home for dinner..."

Hook and other members of the Mole Party: "..."

"Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat! So annoying!"

Hook jumped up and hit the Mole Party member who wanted to go home for dinner on the head with a hammer.

"I saw Knight Stone Hao in the blacksmith shop a few days ago. He was arguing with Knight Stone Hao."

At this time, an unknown younger brother threw out a clue.

Blacksmith shop?

Zhou Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard the voice.

He didn't quite understand why Xiao Hao went to the blacksmith shop.

"There's a new clue! Mole Gang! Follow me..."

Adhering to the principle of not letting go of any clues, Hook led the members of the Mole Gang to the only blacksmith shop in Panyan Town.

Before he got close to the blacksmith shop, Hook saw the blacksmith Uncle Alvin walk out of the shop with a big bag and throw all the stones into the trash can.

"Look! That's the bag that Knight Stone Hao usually uses to carry stones! He is indeed related to Knight Stone Hao!"

Hook recognized the bag in Uncle Alvin's hand at a glance. After seeing Uncle Alvin walk into the blacksmith shop again, he and the Mole Gang followed him.

As soon as you enter the room, a pungent smell of blood hits you in the face, making you want to vomit.

has a problem!

There is definitely something wrong.

How could a blacksmith's shop smell so heavily of blood?

Hook and his companions fanned their noses with their hands, trying to reduce the smell of blood.

Zhou Xiao took a quick look inside the room. Apart from the equipment used by the blacksmith to forge iron and smelt metal, there were not many strange things.

"It's Little Hook, why are you here today?"

Uncle Awen asked with some surprise when he saw Hook and the other members of the Mole Party.

"Hmph! Uncle Awen, does Knight Stonehao's death have anything to do with you?" Hook asked in a childish voice straight to the point.

"?"

"Knight Hao of Stone?" Uncle Awen was stunned at first when he heard this name, but he quickly realized that it seemed to be talking about Xiao Hao.

"Xiao Hao is dead?"

He was a little confused by the news.

"How did you think that Xiao Hao's death had anything to do with me?" Uncle Awen was very confused. How could an honest man like him inexplicably have to bear such a big blame?

Are all those who take the blame honest people?

"Because you had an argument with Knight Stonehao before...the bag in your hand also belongs to Knight Stonehao, and...there is such a strong smell of blood in your house..." Hook stated all the points of suspicion.

This left Awen stunned.

"Quarrel?" Ah Wen thought about it for a moment and seemed to remember something: "What quarrel? He was bargaining with me, and I said I couldn't bargain..."

"Bargain?" Zhou Xiao was a little surprised: "What can he make in your blacksmith shop?"

"Scabbard..."

Uncle Awen had an innocent look on his face, and then he took out a black metal scabbard from the smelting table at the back. It had certain decorative patterns on the surface, but it was a semi-finished product, so it looked a bit rough.

"This kid said he wanted to give a very good friend a gift and wanted to customize a scabbard. He measured the size with me for a long time, and then when it was time to pay, he bargained with me for the price..."

"With such a low price, I basically couldn't make any money, but I still softened my heart and made it for him. As a deposit and a condition for bargaining, he would go to the mine every day to pick a certain amount of ore for me..."

"scabbard..."

When hearing this object, Zhou Xiao subconsciously recalled that Xiao Hao seemed to have taken the long sword he had intercepted from Kafka and measured it for a while.

At the time he thought Xiao Hao was just finding it novel, but now he hears...

Is he going to give me a gift?

A gift.

Zhou Xiao lowered his head slightly and looked at the long sword hanging at his waist. There seemed to be no emotion on his face, but in fact, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

"Wow, I'm really crying. Knight Hao of Stone actually wants to prepare a gift for me." Hook couldn't stand it when he heard it, and took the scabbard while crying.

He measured it for a while and then asked Uncle Awen: "Why is there only a scabbard? Where is the knife?"

"The knife? The knife is at a different price!"

Uncle Awen said that Xiao Hao did not ask him to make a matching long sword. After he answered, Hook glanced and saw the dark red long sword hanging on Zhou Xiao's waist.

As the forger of the scabbard, he was naturally very sensitive to the size of the scabbard. He took a quick look at it and then pointed at the long sword in Zhou Xiao's hand:

"Well... maybe make a scabbard for this knife?"

"?"

Following the direction Uncle Awen pointed, Hook saw the dark red long sword at Zhou Xiao's waist.

"..."

Hook handed the scabbard back to Zhou Xiao: "Try it, Knight of the Grim Owl."

Zhou Xiao took it, and Kafka's long sword went into the scabbard very smoothly. Although it didn't fit perfectly, the size was almost right.

"..."

"Big brother, do you have anything you like?"

Zhou Xiao recalled the question Xiao Hao had asked him. Perhaps... from that moment on, Xiao Hao decided to give him a gift...

...

"Wait, you said Knight Shi Hao's death had nothing to do with you, then why is there such a strong smell of blood in your house?" A member of the Mole Party seemed to have reacted and began to question Uncle Awen.

"Can't I have some meat?" Uncle Awen showed the kitchen to everyone, and they saw a not-very-fat Kun that had been plucked and bled. The bloody smell in the room seemed to come from here.

"..."

"Uncle Awen... is so rich." All the members of the Mole Party couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they saw the Kun. It was indeed not easy to get a live Kun in the lower area.

"fine..."

"Awen...Uncle, do you know where Xiao Hao goes closest to you besides where he is?" Zhou Xiao was not distracted by that Kun.

He stroked the unfinished scabbard in his hand, as if he could feel Xiao Hao's burning heart.

He's going to do something.

What should he do for Xiao Hao...

"Activities?" Uncle Awen thought for a moment and then said, "Besides where I am, there are only the mining area and... the fight club."

"It seems like Xiao Hao has been doing odd jobs there recently."

Fight...club!

Hearing this place again, Zhou Xiao frowned. He would go to the fighting club every once in a while, so why had he never seen Xiao Hao?

how come...

Zhou Xiao turned and left. He was going to the fight club to ask Scott, the black-hearted businessman.

...

ps: I ask for everything.

Chapter 35: Human desires are like rolling stones on a mountain... (Second update!)

"Brothers, let's go too!" Seeing Zhou Xiao leave, Hook and his group also walked out of the blacksmith shop.

After seeing everyone go away, Uncle Awen breathed a sigh of relief silently, then glanced at the floor on one side.

The floor on that side seemed to move slightly up and down, and in the darkness, there seemed to be an eyeball looking at the light above through the gap.

...

After coming out of the blacksmith shop, Zhou Xiao headed straight towards the fight club. Even Jarvis behind him could not keep up with his speed, not to mention the Mole Gang's group of little brats.

"Ready for action!"

Outside the fight club, Xier was hiding in the dark with a group of Earth Fire members. Just as they were about to take action, they saw Zhou Xiao and Jarvis rushing to the fight club again.

"What should we do now? Should we take action?"

Hearing the members' questions, Xier gritted her teeth. Due to Zhou Xiao's strength, she decided to wait a little longer.

"Wait a moment, wait for that Windrusher to come out..."

...

"Boss, Kun Fengzhe is here again!"

In the fight club, Scott heard the report from his subordinates, and his old face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum: "Why is he haunting us?"

"What about the boss?"

"What to do? Say I'm not here!"

As soon as Scott finished speaking, there was a "bang" and the office door was kicked open. Then Zhou Xiao's expressionless face appeared in front of Scott.

"Brother Kun...what's the matter?" Scott immediately put on a smiling face and took the initiative to come forward.
