Chapter 22 first quarter

Ion recuperated in Mizumori's tent for about a month, and his physical strength fully recovered.The eyes, which became fragile while staying underground, gradually became able to withstand strong light when looking at the sky and running water.This is all thanks to the kind Mizumori. As November drew to a close, the amount of water in the river gradually decreased, and people from Sichuan began to leave the boat in twos and threes.They said that there is very little river water this year and they are going to Chiba.It is said that it is a very dangerous journey to go through culverts and narrow canals.Mizumori distributed the blue plastic sheets and food to Ion and Tetsu, and left Imorikawa.

Ion also decided to take the iron back to Yoyogi Park Village.Although I don't know who is leading it now and what the situation is, Park Village is suitable for winter.There will be many voluntary groups and large food banks who will open and distribute food almost every day.People in Park Village will help each other, it is quite safe, and there is also a group of moms like Kemike and the others in the parking lot.Maybe you can still see Mogami.I still want to see the top side again, and I want to talk to Camiko.Ion misses so much that he wants to cry. "Ian, what kind of place is Park Village?"

I don't know if he was infected by Ion's anticipation, Tie asked excitedly like a child about to go hiking. "A place where a lot of people will go." "what kind of person?" "People like us who have no home, no money, and no family." "People who have no home, no money, and no family." After Tie finished speaking, he looked at Ian's face and smiled: "But I have a brother like you, Ian." Iron happily put his cheek against Ion's shoulder.Tie turned back into a ten-year-old boy.This was close to the age of Iron when Ian and his "brothers" scattered.But unfortunately, Tie doesn't remember anything.Ion put his arms around Iron's shoulders, which were touching his cheeks.Regardless of height or physique, Ion was far inferior to Tie, but now he was Tie's reliable big brother.

"Yes, we are brothers." "Yes, it's brother." "Finally goodbye, let's live together forever." "Well, live together forever." Iron will now repeat Ion's words.Ian thought of the twin teenagers he met in the international market a year ago.On a winter morning, the dirty feet of the brothers sleeping under the booth.The elder brother has a gentle temperament, while the younger brother glared at people with sharp eyes.I and Tie are the same as them.However, at that time, I was very indifferent to them.Ion smiled, and Tie also smiled happily.

"Why are you laughing?" Ian asked, Tie shrugged vigorously: "You laughed just now. I don't know why, but when you smile, I am also happy." To live happily with others is to enjoy the joy of resonance.Ion really wanted to see his former companions in Park Village, so he wanted to run right away.He also wants to go to the international market that he hasn't been to for a long time.There may have been people who wanted to resonate with Ion in the past, but the former Ion rejected them.Why have I never found out?Ion felt as if he had been reborn. "Tie, I'll take you to the international market too."

"what is that?" "There are many shops there, and there are people from many countries selling all kinds of things." Iron showed an incredulous expression.He has never seen the shop, has he?In Ishougawa, there are only occasional boats from Sichuan people to sell daily necessities and food. Ion and Tetsu carried the plastic sheets and food that Mizumori gave them, and headed for Shibuya along Meiji Avenue.The stone slabs of the sidewalk were peeling off, exposing the dirt, and the iron gates of the surrounding shops were almost pulled down.There are no people in the commercial building, and homeless people are lying everywhere on the overpass.Areas with many vacant houses turned into slums, and many people moved in illegally.Shibuya is a particularly dangerous area.

In every dark part of the building, a sharp line of sight can be felt, monitoring the two outsiders passing by.Ion couldn't help becoming nervous when he thought of entering the downtown area next.Even if he encounters a hunter hunting homeless people, he can escape alone, but he still has iron.And Tie looked around curiously. "Tie, no matter what happens, don't leave me." "You can't leave me either." The two walked forward holding hands tightly, and soon arrived in Shibuya, looking up at the JR station that turned into an unmanned elevated station.The front of the station is empty. It is hard to believe that there used to be a bronze statue of a dog in front of the station, and many people still use this as a meeting point.Now the police are watching all day long, and as long as you leave the station a little, there will be a bunch of poor people wandering around.

Ian took Tie's hand and walked up the nostalgic Daoxuan.The long-lost city streets are exhausting.So in order to take a shortcut, Ion chose to go behind the recognized dangerous Central Street. No one walks leisurely on Center Street.Gathered here are only unemployed young people greedily eyeing the passers-by.There were arguments, people lying on the road, people who were seriously injured, and occasionally dead bodies.People who have to pass by here should keep their eyes closed and walk quickly, so as not to be picked on by others or robbed. Ion and Tie safely passed behind the central street, heading for Park Village.Looking at the parking lot on the west side, there are indeed several mommy tents.Four or five women were standing and talking with their children in their arms.Because it was cold, women and children were all dressed up fat.

A young woman was hanging a rope between the trees in the park, drying her freshly washed diapers, and Ion accosted her, "Hello." The woman had a baby tied up on her back, and she didn't answer, she stared at Ian's face, and wiped her drooping hair with her hands that were red from the cold water. "I want to see Camiko." "Cameke?" The woman's eyes showed a vigilant look, and she sent a fearful look to the smirking Tie.Ion hurriedly changed his words.He remembered that Kemiko's subordinates told him to call "Master Kemiko". "I'm looking for Lord Kemiko."

"Wait a minute." The woman threw the clothes in the laundry basket like this, and ran to the woman who was standing and chatting. "Ion, who is Kemi?" Tie asked innocently. Ion hadn't been to the park for a long time, and he was in a daze with nostalgia. When he asked him this question, he came back to his senses. "Acquaintance. Scary, but good." "It's scary, but he's a good guy." Tie happily looked up at the sky. "Are we going to live here too?" "No, the place where the man lives is further east." "I prefer places with women."

When Tie smiled and put his arms around Ian's shoulders, a deep and sonorous female voice rang out: "Are you guys looking for Kemic?" The woman was fat and strong, with a cardigan made of thick wool on top of a black dress, with fake red roses pinned to her chest.She wore large hoop gold earrings and had rings all over her fingers.It's not like the overdressing of the homeless people scared Ion back. "Who are you?" The woman didn't answer, and asked Ion, "What's your relationship with Kami?" "We knew each other before." "When did you meet? Are you from the underground gang?" There was deep anger in the woman's eyes.Ion shielded the iron behind his back. "No." He lied. "I'm Ian who used to live in Park Village. I came nearby, so I came to have a look." "Nonsense! If you've been in Gongyuan Village, it's impossible not to know about this commotion!" A sharp questioning voice sounded from somewhere.As if to surround the strong women, women dressed in similar black attire gathered together.Ion felt something was wrong. "This is the territory of the mothers, right?" "Yeah, it's the mommy, but it's the mommy of Lord Amika." Ami incense.Ion was taken aback, and looked up at Amixiang's round face.Didn't it mean that Kemike drove Amixiang away?So what happened to Cammy? "Where's Cammy?" "You really don't seem to know. Are you in prison?" After Amixiang finished speaking, the women around her laughed in unison.These people are a round older than the young women around Ke Mike, calm and resigned to fate, with a wicked expression on every face. "Ion didn't go to prison!" Tie said angrily. "Then where was he before?" Amixiang asked Tie with a smile. "Underground." Tie said, pointing to the ground.Amixiang's complexion changed drastically. "You really belonged to that gang! Are you under that bastard monk! Go back! Don't come here again!" Something bumped into his shoulder with a "boom", and then swept across his cheek.What fell to the ground were cement blocks.A group of children brought by Amixiang and the others threw stones at Ion and Tie.Amika must have driven Kemiko away again. "Run away!" Ian grabbed the iron hand and ran away.What happened?
