"… really, he is a good man. I like him the most. He always helps others, but he is the one who needs help the most. I want to help him, but I don't know what to do. I think he likes Kobe. Who doesn't like Kobe …"
The white child was obviously not good at communicating. He seemed to be confused by his own words. He became more and more anxious and almost cried.
Li Du patted him on the head and said, "Don't worry, what do you want to say? I'm listening carefully. "
He could not hear clearly. There was constant cheering around the field, and the atmosphere was noisy.
The white child swallowed and asked, "I don't know what to say. Would you like to come with me? Please, I need to help Bruce … "
Li Du smiled and said, "Okay, okay, what's your name? I'd like to go with you. "
The child was happy and said, "I'm called Mini Donkey because I'm small and everyone says I'm stupid, like a donkey, so they call me Mini Donkey."
Hearing this, Li Du could not laugh. The name was too insulting.
But living in the slums, it was good enough to survive. Why care so much? If you wanted dignity, you had to leave the slums. What dignity was there to live in here?
Like Li Du's shadow, Brother Wolf followed behind him without making a sound.
Mini Donkey led Li Du away from the field and into the factory, which was a large factory. The front was the factory, and the back was the staff's apartment building. There were more than a dozen large and small buildings.
The factory had also been converted into residences, which were simply separated by wood and brick walls, like a beehive, and were densely packed with people.
They entered such a factory, which was well kept, but inevitably smelled. It was hard to tell what the smell was, as if a variety of food had been mixed together and had rotted.
At this time, most people were attracted to the stadium by the charity event. Even if they did not go to collect their things, they were attracted by the arrival of Kobe and Odom.
Therefore, the tall factory was quite quiet, with only messy beds and broken furniture. There was no sound, and it was a bit like a haunted house.
Following Mini Donkey, they climbed two flights of wooden stairs and then reached the top floor of the factory, where the space was narrower and the smell was stronger.
Walking up the broken stairs, Mini Donkey stuck his head out and said, "Hi, Bruce, where are you?"
Hearing his voice, a young man poked his head out from the front compartment and said, "Hey, Big Donkey, come here. I'm telling Loft a story."
Mini Donkey climbed up, but the space was a little short. Li Du had to bend slightly to walk. Brother Wolf, who was more than 1.9 meters tall, could not climb up and could only get stuck at the entrance of the passage.
With the sunlight shining in through the window, Li Du could see the face of the teenager named Bruce. He was about 14 or 15 years old, had black hair and eyes, and was an Asian teenager.
Bruce also saw him and asked in surprise, "Hello, sir. You must be a kind-hearted treasure hunter? Like Mr. Criss Bell? "
Li Du smiled and said, "That's about right. Your reasoning ability is really good."
Bruce smiled as well. His smile was brighter than the sunlight shining through the window. "Oh, I'm Batman. Of course I have great reasoning skills."
Mini Donkey turned around and said, "Yes, Batman Bruce. He is Batman, and this is his Gotham City."
Li Du showed a look of understanding and saluted. "Hello, Mr. Batman. On behalf of the citizens, I salute you."
Some of the children laughed.
In addition to Mini Donkey and Bruce, four or five children came out of the compartment. Almost all of them were under ten years old, with childish faces, and all of them were Asian.
Bruce asked Li Du to sit down and poured him a glass of water. Seeing him walking, Li Du noticed that he had a problem with one of his legs. He walked with a limp.
After pouring the water, he asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Li Du looked at Mini Donkey, who hurriedly said, "He's here to help you, Bruce. You need help. Kobe is here. This gentleman is good friends with Kobe. He and Kobe can help you."
Bruce laughed and said, "I don't need help, Big Donkey. My right leg is not very good, but it doesn't stop me from living, and it doesn't stop me from taking care of you. Everything is OK, don't worry."
Then he said to Li Du, "Sorry, sir. My buddy may not have explained things clearly and caused you to misunderstand. In fact, we are very good."
Li Du caught the keyword and asked, "You take care of them?"
Bruce said, "We take care of each other. You could say that."
Mini Donkey added, "It's Bruce who is helping us. Loft has a problem with his brain. They say I have a problem with my brain, and Borg and Bernie have problems with their eyes. Shozo is the White Devil …"
"Stop, Big Donkey," Bruce laughed. "You have no problem with your brain, and Loft has no problem. Don't listen to those b * stards. We are all fine."
Mini Donkey wanted to argue, but Bruce asked, "How are we living? Are you hungry? Are you unhappy? "
"No," Mini Donkey muttered. "We are happier than those b * stards down there."
Bruce said, "Yes, you see, we are living better than them. How can people with brain problems live better than them? Right? "
Mini Donkey blinked. "Well, yes, but you are not happy. I know you are not happy."
"Yes, you are not happy, Bruce," a girl whispered. "You don't have to worry about us. We all have parents."
Bruce touched her hair and smiled. "I am happy. I am happy to be with you. Don't think too much, OK?"
"Actually, this child is right. Their parents can take care of them," Li Du said.
Bruce stopped laughing and said in a low voice, "Their parents? Their parents can take care of themselves. Sir, you are not from Salem Harbor. You don't know what it is like here. "
Mini Donkey said, "I know that Claire's father is a gambler and is afraid to come back. I haven't seen Loft's parents for a year, and …"
"OK, stop it, Big Donkey," Bruce said, looking at him. "Stop it. They have their own lives, and so do we. I can take you and live well."
Li Du asked, "Bruce, what about your parents? I understand what Big Donkey means. It seems that you really need help. "
To be able to fall into the slums, there must be something wrong with the adults there. He felt that Bruce's words made sense. The parents of these children could take care of themselves.
In this way, Bruce had to take care of these children, but he was still a teenager. At this age, he should be going to school. How could he take care of these children?
