Chapter 822 824 Stinky WaterA well-dressed man, standing on the edge of the road, looking at his men, frowned asked : "Can this work?"
"What's wrong? We started doing this in Bude City. It's convenient and efficient." His subordinates didn't care, they were sure the replicated.
"Okay, listen to you." This decent man did not insist on his own views, and directly agreed with his subordinates.
Anyway, all he wants is to complete the work here as soon as possible. As for how to complete it, he doesn't really want to care.
"Child, are you willing to accept this job?" The man symbolically asked the child who took the job, which is a process.
"Yes, sir, I am willing to take the job." The boy nodded, seriously replied.
"This work is very dangerous and scary, are you prepared?" The man emphasized, this is also a routine.
"I'm not afraid, sir." The boy continued to replied. This is the standard answer, because only then can he get paid.
"You're a brave child... Tanson, have you talked to this child about the remuneration?" The well-dressed man asked a question he cared about.
The Alanhill Empire does not completely prohibit child labor, and as long as everyone pleases, this kind of transaction will not be pursued. While child labor is rare in places like Serris, in other parts of the empire, many children still struggle to make ends meet.
"Yes, sir, if he completes this work, he can get paid 3 gold coins." Called Tanson's subordinate nodded, and replied.
"It's really cheap." The well-dressed man sneered, this price is indeed much cheaper than the previous estimate.
If it is all this cost, he can finish the work here quickly and save a lot of cost. The only thing that made him regret was that in places further south, this method no longer worked.
"This is the price here, and I've already paid a high price." Tanson's subordinate looked at the thin child in front of him, and said to his boss.
The decent man walked into the distance with his hands behind his back: "Let him get to work...this month, we're going to finish all the work here, you know, time is money."
In the dark, barely visible space, the thin boy crawled forward with difficulty.
There was a stinky liquid under him, and he didn't know how it formed and accumulated - but he didn't like the smell, it was like the smell of rotting corpses, many corpses Rotten smell.
With all his strength, he held his breath, dragging the heavy things behind him and slowly crawling forward, his scrawny arms pressed against the stinky water under him, he didn't care. .
"Squeak..." A huge mouse was frightened and passed in front of him. Those eyes, in this dark environment, exuded a terrifying faint light.
"Sigh..." The mouse startled the little boy, but he didn't make a cry, because if he did, the mission this time might be a failure.
The person who hired him to do this job is not very good at speaking. Once he reveals his fear, maybe the other party will give the money to another child.
He must do the job well and quickly, which is very important for a poor child like him.
"Um..." He felt like he was about to suffocate, the air here was too turbid. The smell was unpleasant, mixed with a hopeless darkness.
However, he remembered the shiny gold coin in his pocket, if he completes the task this time, he can get the other two...
Here, three gold coins are already a windfall, at least for a poor child like him, it is definitely a windfall!
So, he gritted his teeth and continued to crawl forward. The huge mouse, in front of him, didn't seem so scary anymore.
Because he was crawling forward, his elbow was already in unbearable pain due to frequent bumps. He thought there must be blood, but he couldn't stop.
In this small space, he can't even turn back, he can only crawl forward, keep crawl...
I don't know when, he saw the front The light, this light is simply heaven to him, making him warm up in the next instant.
So he crawled forward even harder, because crawling to the bright spot over there, he could get out of this damn narrow space, and he could also get the other two attractive gold coins !
"Hurry up! Don't linger!" Someone's voice echoed in the bright place. He crawled desperately, and the whole person became excited.
At this time, the weights tied behind him seemed to be no longer so heavy. He ignored the unpleasant smell on his face and the sharpness of the gravel under him, and quickly climbed to the place where the light came from.
"Good." A rubber-gloved hand reached out to him and pulled him out of the tight space.
The boy finally saw the light again. He narrowed his eyes, looked up at the sky, and felt that his whole body had been reborn.
"Okay! You did good." The man named Tanson threw two gold coins to the boy who was covered in foul black liquid, and waved to him in disgust: "Let's go. Let's go! Go and have a good bath!"
The two workers behind him were connecting the various cables the boy had brought over. Their job was to pass the network cables and cables through the narrow sewers that cover the entire city.
The sewer projects of the Alanhill Empire were mixed, and in many places the cables had to be laid in a very primordial way.
In some cities, the pipelines are so small that only small children can complete the underground work. Some children even passed out and even died because of lack of oxygen.
No matter how glamorous this world is, there is still something unsatisfactory in the dark. Even though the Alanhill Empire has become so powerful that all foreign enemies are respected, there are still places within which the light cannot shine.
"Sir...I, I can do it again..." The boy covered in stinky water held three coins, and his face was full of expectations.
"...Ok, you have a good rest here, and find me at the next manhole cover in a few minutes, understand?" Tanson pointed to the place where the cable reels were stored in the distance. , said to the male child.
