135. Pollution
The tram was buzzing in the barriers. It was not that Ren Xiaosu had never taken a car, but it was the first time he had seen such a "bus".
Everyone only needs to get on the bus and throw a 20 cent into the box at the entrance to sit far and far away, and there is no problem even from the start to the end.
Wang Fugui had heard of things like trams very early. After all, when he dealt with people in the barriers, he would always talk about novel things in the barriers.
So when Ren Xiaosu said he wanted to visit the barriers, Wang Fugui said that trams were the most convenient and money-saving means of transportation.
"Brother," Yan Liuyuan said on the window: "People in this barrier will definitely not have troubles. Life is so convenient and safe. Just do some easy work in the barrier and you can enjoy a life hundreds of times better than a refugee."
"How can people not be free from worries?" Ren Xiaosu sat next to him and smiled: "Even Luo Lan will still have 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 are such people in this world who can have no worries?"
Ren Xiaosu said, "Yes, dead."
Yan Liuyuan slowly turned his head and looked at Ren Xiaosu: "It's such a festive day, brother, do you think this is appropriate..."
"Even a fool like Chen Wudi is troubled," Ren Xiaosu sighed. At this time, Chen Wudi was sitting in the last row, and his face had not yet swelled. I don't know where this guy went yesterday, and who was beaten...
On both sides of the streets of this barrier city, there are small breakfast buns, tofu brains, and hardware and groceries, which are dazzling.
There are pedestrians passing by on the sidewalks next to the street, and occasionally there are people riding bicycles running fast on the street.
Ren Xiaosu said curiously: "How much does a bicycle cost in a barrier? I feel that this thing is very convenient to carry."
In the past, a "country squire" in the market town bought a bicycle circulating in the barrier, but it was stolen that night. In order to escape the pursuit of the squire, the thief rode his bicycle to other barriers...
Bicycles are luxury goods in market towns, the kind that you can’t buy even if you want to.
"I'll go and ask in the afternoon," Wang Fugui said: "It shouldn't be cheap. After all, resources are so short now. Look at the clothes of those riding cyclists are relatively fair, and it seems that they are relatively rich in the barriers."
"If I had known, I would have asked Jiang Wu more on the road," Ren Xiaosu regretted that they had never come to the barrier, but Jiang Wu grew up in the barrier.
But now Jiang Wu has gone to school to report to continue to be a teacher, so he should be in Barrier 13.
...
On the way, Ren Xiaosu heard someone around him discussing something: "Did you hear that the 113 barrier has been abandoned. It is said that the earthquake had directly crushed the 113 barrier, and even the people from the Qing family consortium fled to our barrier."
"Really or not?" Someone said in surprise: "This is not mentioned in the broadcast news."
"I will definitely not tell you on the radio," the man smiled and said, "But a friend of mine has a cooperative relationship with the Qing family consortium. He told me that yesterday, the big figure of the Qing family consortium had already reached our barriers, saying that dozens of refugees were brought in."
"Disaster?" The other man said in surprise: "If the refugee is not working hard outside, why are you doing in?"
Ren Xiaosu looked at them without saying anything, but heard another person say, "Who knows, and I don't know if the diseases and bacteria outside will be brought in."
"Shh, look at the people behind us, they seem to be those refugees!" One of them said in surprise.
After this reminder, the others in the car looked back at them, and then the more everyone looked, the more they felt that Ren Xiaosu and the others were really likely to be refugees.
Then Yan Liuyuan was surprised to see that all these people got off at the next stop.
In just one stop, they were the only one left on the tram. If the driver didn’t want to drive, Yan Liuyuan felt that the driver had gotten off!
Ren Xiaosu looked at the six of them. Today they all changed into washed clothes, and everyone boiled water and took a shower, and their faces and bodies were no longer dirty.
But the problem is that there are big differences in the styles of clothes that refugees can buy, or the skin that refugees exposed to the sun.
"Brother," Yan Liuyuan whispered: "I feel that the people in the barriers are not friendly at all."
No one even came to ask about these barriers, but they just guessed that they were refugees, and they were all hiding from them as if they were hiding from the plague.
Just because they may carry outside bacteria, because the barriers have been promoting them since childhood that the reason why refugees cannot come in is because refugees have suffered "pollution".
Ren Xiaosu did not reply, he just said calmly: "Sister Xiaoyu, you go buy two new clothes for each of us tomorrow. Everyone can change the new clothes, and it looks like a barrier."
"I don't wear it," Yan Liuyuan whispered, as if wearing this new dress was like bowing to those barriers.
Ren Xiaosu said: "Whether in the wilderness or in barriers, 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 when he heard this. He didn't expect that Ren Xiaosu actually applied his theory to the wilderness to the barrier, so he treated the barrier as a place like wilderness?
Just listened to Ren Xiaosu continuing: "Maybe we will leave the barrier one day, so everyone should be prepared."
Yan Liuyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew Ren Xiaosu best and had already heard it. Ren Xiaosu had already wanted to leave!
Wang Fugui smiled and said, "Or why we'll leave tomorrow. I don't know why, but I always feel that life in the market town is more comfortable."
"No hurry," Ren Xiaosu shook his head and said, "We can't go out now, so I'll talk about it when I find a chance."
At this time, the vehicle arrived at the terminal station, and Ren Xiaosu and the others planned to take the bus back the same way. As a result, everyone saw that there were many single-family houses in front of the terminal station, and there was a small yard.
From a distance, this area seems to be quite small, but it is much quieter than other places.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu grabbed the tram driver and asked, "What is this place?"
"This is a wealthy area that is our barrier," the driver said. "It is only rich and powerful that can be used to live in. There are no tram lines in it, because everyone living here has private cars."
