The tram was buzzing in the barrier. It was not that Ren Xiaosu had never been on a tram before, but it was just the first time he had seen this kind of "bus".
Everyone only needs to put two cents into the box at the entrance when getting on the bus, and they can sit very far away, even from the starting station to the final station. question.
Wang Fugui had heard about trams for a long time. After all, he had interacted with people in the barrier before, and he would always talk about the novel things in the barrier.
So when Ren Xiaosu said he wanted to visit the barrier, Wang Fugui said that the tram was the most convenient and cost-effective means of transportation.
"Brother," Yan Liuyuan said while lying on the window: "People in this barrier will definitely not have such a thing as worries. Life is so convenient and safe. All you need to do is relax in the barrier. If you have a job, you can enjoy a life hundreds of times better than that of a refugee."
"How can a person be without worries?" Ren Xiaosu sat next to him and smiled: "Even Luo Lan still has worries. This kind of thing will not decrease with the increase of material foundation."
"That's right," Yan Liuyuan nodded: "Then do you think there is such a person in this world who can be free from all worries. No?"
Ren Xiaosu said: "Yes, dead man."
Yan Liuyuan slowly turned his head and looked at Ren Xiaosu: "On such a festive day, what do you mean? Is it appropriate..."
"Even a fool like Chen Wudi has troubles," Ren Xiaosu sighed. At this time, Chen Wudi was sitting in the last row, and his face was not swollen yet. I don’t know where this guy went yesterday or who he got beaten up...
On both sides of the streets in this walled city, there are shops selling breakfast dumplings, tofu puffs, etc., as well as hardware and groceries. , a dazzling array of things to see.
There are pedestrians walking on the sidewalk beside the street, and occasionally there are people riding bicycles flying quickly on the street.
Ren Xiaosu asked curiously: "How much does a bicycle cost in the barrier? I think this thing is very convenient for transportation."
A "country squire" in the market town also bought one before. A bicycle circulated in the fortress was stolen that night. In order to escape the pursuit of the squire, the thief rode the bicycle to other fortresses...
Bicycles are a luxury in market towns. Goods, the kind that you can’t even buy.
"I'll ask in the afternoon," Wang Fugui said: "It shouldn't be cheap. After all, resources are so scarce now. You can see that the clothes of those riding bicycles are more decent. It seems that they are all in the barrier. Relatively rich."
"If I had known better, I would have asked Jiang Wu more," Ren Xiaosu regretted. None of them had been to the barrier, but Jiang Wu had grown up in the barrier.
It’s just that now Jiang Wu has gone to school to continue working as a teacher, and he should also be in Barrier 13.
......
On the way, Ren Xiaosu heard someone discussing something around him: "Have you heard that Barrier 113 has been abandoned? It is said that the previousAn earthquake directly destroyed the 113 barrier, and even the people from the Qing Consortium fled to our barrier. ”
“Real or false?” Someone said in surprise: "The radio news didn't mention this." "
"I will definitely not tell you on the radio," the man said with a smile: "But I have a friend who has a cooperative relationship with the Qing Consortium. He told me that yesterday the Qing Consortium's The big shots have already arrived at our fortress and are said to have brought in dozens of refugees. "
"Refugees? The other man said in surprise: "If the refugees don't work hard outside, why do they come in?" "
Ren Xiaosu glanced at them and said nothing. He only listened to another person say: "Who knows? I don't know if diseases, bacteria and pollution from outside will be brought in." "
"Shh, look at the people behind us, they seem to be the refugees! "One person said in surprise.
After being reminded like this, other people in the car looked back at them, and the more they looked at them, the more they felt that Ren Xiaosu and the others might really be refugees.
Then Yan Liuyuan was surprised to see that all these people got off the train at the next stop.
In just one stop, they were the only ones left on the tram. If the driver had not been driving, Yan Liuyuan felt that the driver had already gotten out of the car!
Ren Xiaosu looked at the six of them. Today they all put on washed clothes, and everyone also boiled water and took a shower, and their faces and bodies were not dirty.
But the problem is that the styles of clothes that refugees can buy, or the skin of refugees that have been exposed to the sun, are very different.
"Brother," the color of the clothes is very different. Liuyuan whispered: "I feel like the people in the barrier are not friendly at all. ”
No one even came to ask about these barrier people. They just guessed that they were refugees, and they just avoided them like they were avoiding the plague.
Just because they might carry it with them They were exposed to the germs outside, because the barrier had been preaching to them since childhood that the reason why refugees could not come in was because they were "contaminated".
Ren Xiaosu did not reply, he just said calmly: "Sister Xiaoyu. , you go buy two new clothes for each of us tomorrow, and we put on the new clothes, and we will look more like people from the barrier. "
"I won't wear it," Yan Liuyuan resisted in a low voice, as if putting on these new clothes meant bowing to those who were blocking the barrier.
Ren Xiaosu said: "Whether it's in You are still in a barrier in the wilderness. If you want to survive, you must first integrate and understand, and then have the ability to resist. When you cannot change the environment, you must first learn to disguise yourself. "
Wang Fugui was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that Ren Xiaosu would actually apply his theory applicable to the wilderness to the barrier. So is he treating the barrier as a place like the wilderness?< /p>
Let Ren Xiaosu continue: "Maybe we will leave from the barrier one day, so everyone should be prepared. ”
Yan Liuyuan’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew Ren XiaoHe had already heard what Su said, and Ren Xiaosu had already given up on it!
Wang Fugui smiled and said: "How about we leave tomorrow. I don't know why, but I always feel that life in the market town is more comfortable."
"No rush, "Ren Xiaosu shook his head and said: "We can't get out now. Let's wait until I find a chance."
At this time, the vehicle arrived at the terminal. Ren Xiaosu and the others planned to take the bus back the same way, but everyone saw it. Further ahead of the terminal, there are many single-family houses with small yards.
Looking from a distance, this area seems quite small, but it is much quieter than other places.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu grabbed the tram driver and asked, "Where is this place?"
"This is the rich area of our barrier," the driver said, "They are all rich. Only powerful people can live here. There are no tram lines here because everyone who lives here has a private car."
While talking, the driver was shrinking back, for fear of getting too close to Ren Xiaosu.
