Chapter 128 Song Jue's Experience
Chapter 128 Song Jue's Experience
It doesn't look like much work, but it is actually very difficult to do, because there are still many corpses in the ruins of concrete bricks and tiles. Based on the principle of respecting the corpses, our excavation work was carried out very slowly. Basically, after Lin Lin dug away the brick and tile ruins, I put the corpses intact into the space, and then walked out of the ruins and placed them neatly on the open space next to it.
You know, although my space cannot accommodate living creatures, it has no effect on corpses. After all, he is no longer a living individual! Before long, many corpses were piled up, ready to be burned together later.
During this period, Lin Lin also used his X-ray eyes to see a lot of personal property under the ruins. Although this area is considered a civilian area, most people also store some gold chains and cash and other things. The passbooks that are not ours cannot be taken away, and it is useless to take them away. After a while, we picked up nearly 10,000 yuan in cash, a dozen gold chains, five or six gold bracelets, and a gold ring. I weighed it and it weighed nearly 500 grams. It was considered a good harvest.
Bian Hui next to us said something very unpleasant. She said we were making money from the dead.
This outspoken little girl!
The closer the excavator got to the bottom, the more excited I noticed Song Jue became. I was wondering if he was thinking about his mother's body?
Just as I expected, he suddenly screamed, "Oh, this is my mother!"
At this time, there was a crushed corpse in the ruins dug out by the excavator. After so many days of sun exposure, it had been mixed with the construction waste, but the clothes were still wrapped on the body and had not rotted. Song Jue might have recognized his mother from the clothes she was wearing.
We quickly helped him move his mother's remains out, and several people advised him to mourn less, after all, the person had already passed away.
Lin Lin jumped off the excavator and complained to me: No, this guy lied, the crystal is not here. If the crystal was dug to this point, he should be able to sense the existence of the crystal, but no, it is not here!
The two of us asked Song Jue angrily, "Are you telling the truth?"
Song Jue was still holding his mother who was in a shapeless form and wailing uncontrollably. Lin Lin and I looked at each other and decided to just wait until he finished crying.
He finally stopped howling and begged us to cremate his mother. He wanted to take his mother's ashes with him.
I was in charge of pouring oil and lighting the fire, while Bian Hui controlled the surrounding sunlight to make the flames burn faster, and within a moment, Song Jue's mother's body was burned to ashes. By the way, the pile of unclaimed bodies was also burned.
I took out a wine box from the space and handed it to Song Jue, asking him to put the ashes away first and get a special jar for the ashes when he returned.
Song Jue sobbed as he collected the ashes and recounted his experience to us. He said that he did lie to us. In fact, his parents divorced when he was a child, and he was awarded to his father. But not long after, his father married another woman, and that woman gave birth to a younger brother for him the following year. So you can imagine what kind of contempt and discrimination he would receive. With a stepmother, there is a stepfather. That woman always found trouble for his father to beat her, and many times she beat him until he was covered in bruises... He has been living cautiously, and when he is really sad, he wants to find his mother. After many twists and turns, he found his mother's residence, but his mother has some physical disabilities and has always lived in poverty. He was still in school before. If he was dragged away from his father to live with his mother at this time, he would definitely become a burden to his mother, so he planned to wait until he went to college and could make money before picking up his mother to go to another city with him.
Feeling that his mother lived in poverty, Song Jue would always secretly steal things from that family to help his mother. He knew that what he did was wrong, but he was still young and had no other ability to help his mother. And the things he took were just some food and daily necessities.
On the day of the earthquake, he also stole some things from home and wanted to send them to his biological mother's house, but was discovered by his annoying younger brother. His brother yelled at his stepmother, who then blamed him for always stealing things. She also said that the money she had placed in the bedside table was also lost, and she encouraged his father to beat him up.
In fact, he had never stolen a penny. He was full of grievances, and his tears flowed like a flood. He cried and begged for mercy, his voice was miserable and desolate, as if a wounded little animal was wailing. However, his father was like a ruthless tyrant, and the belt in his hand whipped his thin body like a poisonous snake, and every time it seemed to take away his soul. At that time, he felt that his father whipped him so hard, as if he was going to kill him.
Just when he was about to faint, there was a sudden earthquake. Only then did his father stop beating his brother and prepared to open the door and run out, with his stepmother following closely behind.
No one cared about his life or death.
At this time, the second aftershock came again, and the whole house collapsed and broke apart. Just as he was waiting to die, he suddenly found that he had grown armor on his back to block the attack! That was because his superpowers were activated, and steel plates grew around his body to seal himself in, like a metal coffin to protect himself. Until the earthquake ended and the ground became stable, he wanted to retract the metal plates, but found himself buried in the rubble. He was not rescued until rescue arrived at their community.
I asked curiously: Didn’t the soldiers notice that it was strange that you were wrapped in steel plates?
Song Jue shook his head and answered me that he was very hungry at that time, and only one side of the steel plate was left to protect him.
After he was rescued, he found out that his father, stepmother and younger brother were all killed in the earthquake, and no one in the building was spared except him.
When he said this, Lin Lin suddenly asked a question: This doesn't make sense. If there is a crystal downstairs in their house, then how come you are the only one in the entire building who has superpowers?
I want to say that even if it is an energy crystal, it is impossible for everyone in the building to have superpowers, right? Then maybe only this kid is lucky enough to receive the energy of the crystal.
We're not sure, but there's no other explanation.
Seeing that it was already afternoon, I still didn't give up and asked Song Jue where his father lived.
Song Jue looked at us talking in confusion, and then he suddenly realized: You want to get the source of my ability, right?
I was surprised that this boy was so smart, so I told him the location where we thought the crystal appeared.
Song Jue asked, "Are the crystal stones you mentioned used to help me upgrade?"
Lin Lin answered him: Yes and no, judging from your ability, it should be a crystal much smaller than that one.
Song Jue said he knew and asked us to get in the car and follow him. Seeing his confident look, we inexplicably put away the excavator, got in the car, started the car and let Song Jue take the lead. Finally, we arrived at another community about ten kilometers away. He said that this was his father's home and he basically knew where the crystal was.
We were very curious about how he said this.
He came to the location of the central lake in the community. Their community was considered a high-end community, and there was an artificial lake in the garden landscape. It was almost dry now, and the bottom of the lake was full of silt and garbage mixture.
Song Jue pointed to the center of the lake and said: That crystal stone was bought by my stepmother. I thought it was something valuable that day, so she hid it on my body. After the earthquake, I felt that the thing was useless, so I threw it into the center of the lake.
This prodigal child throws away good things.
Lin Lin had sharp eyes and he really saw the crystal in the direction he pointed. He jumped into the lake without caring whether it was dirty or not and his legs sank into the mud.
Finally, Song Jue laid wooden boards on the bottom of the lake, allowing Lin Lin to retrieve the crystal safely.
