Chapter 17 A family of three
In the next few days, Li Ke lived a stable life at home while delivering news to Marson.
The middle square is no longer safe now. The sewers are in chaos. The small gangs are driven out to avoid the Alchemist Baron. Just like the big fish eats the small fish and the small fish eats the shrimps. As the progress continues, the middle square is now crowded. After these gangs come up, they are also unsafe. There was a lot of commotion immediately, which can be seen from the fact that Mrs. Piltover has not been seen coming to the middle square in the past few days.
As for going to the dance corridor?
Stop being ridiculous and bring Jinx in front of the law enforcement officer? Although I don’t know how Hilko suppressed Jinx’s crime, Li Ke was not prepared to gamble.
The Dance Corridor is connected to Piltover, and across the bridge is Piltover. The policemen are stuck there, and there are law enforcement teams checking the Zaun people in the Dance Corridor every day. Although it is difficult, the fact is in this way.
In front of Piltover, Zaun has no right to speak, let alone autonomy. The dance corridor is the biggest example.
This is probably why Silko wants the Zaun people to unite and fight against the outside world.
What the hell is this called being investigated, searched, and inspected by others in your own home?
And Li Ke also learned the name of the little girl picked up by Jinx in the past few days.
The little girl is called Isha, and she is a child born and raised in Diggou. The reason why she escaped to the middle square will not be explained in detail.
Isa is nine years old this year, one year older than Li Ke thought. She is a very, very smart child. From her young age, she can see the emotions of adults from their faces and then make a response. It can be seen from things that she is more mature and smart than other children, and is very clever.
And she also has an amazing talent, which is the small toys made by Jinx. After Li Ke picked them up and played with them, he found that he couldn't understand them, because those seemingly simple small toys made of garbage and scrap iron were inside. The structure inside is very exquisite.
But Li Kewan couldn't understand it, but the little guy Isa could understand it. She could even take apart the "little toys" made by Jinx and study the structure inside.
And she is now learning from Jinx and starting to make her own toys.
In Jinx's words, guys like her and Isa are like Zaun children. Li Ke and Wei are the same, they are idiots who can only use their fists. They are stupid as hell~
This child of Zuan should learn to use everything around him to create his own future.
"Jinx, Isa, it's time to eat!"
In the kitchen on the first floor, Li Ke served the food to the table. Although he couldn't buy a variety of seasonings because he had no money in his pocket, the fried meat patties and sprinkled with some salt and pepper would still taste good. Where to go.
The staple food is bread, not the bread mixed with wood chips and crumbs that I had eaten in the ditch, but a large piece of wheat bread that has been sitting for a while and has a very hard texture.
Although it is very hard and dry when chewed, if it is paired with fresh and thick mushroom soup, it will be just right. Dip the bread into the soup and eat the meatloaf when it is slightly soft. It is also It's a pretty good dinner.
"Coming!"
A high-pitched voice sounded from the second floor. Li Ke looked up and saw Jinx laughing, running barefoot and wearing shorts in front, followed by Isa, who stretched out her hands and looked excited. She was also the same. She was walking barefoot like Jinx, with a cool expression on her face, and she was chasing Jinx.
Although the house has been cleaned, this is Zaun, and no matter how clean it is, it only takes half a day for the room to be filled with dust and haze. Therefore, Jinx’s little feet were covered with gray and black, which made Li Keduo see A few glances.
Fair, pink, round toes, contrast between white and gray
How to say it
The contrast and all that is really great!
"Hey, are you eating this again? Great! I like eating meat." Jinx jumped on the stool, sat cross-legged, grabbed her feet, and shook her body back and forth to look at the table. Food, little face full of excitement.
Isa, the little mute, was also very supportive. She picked up the knife and fork with both hands and shook it: "Ah!"
Jinx loosened her grip on her toes and reached for the food.
"Crack!"
Li Ke slapped away Jinx's paw that was touching the meat pie and looked at her seriously: "Have you forgotten?"
Jinx felt pain, took back her hand, blew on the back of her hand and muttered: "There are so many little rules."
Even though she said this, Jinx didn't resent the rules Li Ke had set for the family. Instead, she felt a little happy inside.
She likes the feeling of being "controlled" and "cared for".
This made her feel valued.
So, calling Isa, Jinx took the little mute to wash her hands.
Returning to the dining table, with Li Ke's voice, the three of them all lowered their heads to eat the food and chatted.
"Li Ke, I have made the latest batch of weapons, but I can't guarantee the quality, um, but it will definitely work if you beat fools." Jinx, who was chewing meat patties and looking very indecent, said.
Isa on the side nodded, hummed twice, and agreed with Jinx's words.
"What about professional gangsters?"
"Don't embarrass me, okay? We don't even have better tools here. Do you really think that using scraps picked up from the garbage dump and left to me to assemble them can be as good as what others spent a lot of money to make?" Weapons? Don’t be ridiculous.”
"I may be a genius, but you must be a poor person." Jinx rolled her eyes, feeling speechless at Li Ke's words.
She's already great, right?
A batch of weapons were assembled from a pile of junk. There are simple iron guns that can shoot sharp projectiles, and hooks that can fly out. They are not accurate enough, but they are very fast. There are also things that will hit something after being thrown. The rope traps that capture people, the gadgets she tinkered with, are already outstanding. But using those things to fight regular gangsters, compared with their weapons?
Then she had to go back to Silko. After all, Li Ke was too poor and couldn't even come up with any decent materials.
So it’s not that she can’t do it, it’s that Li Ke can’t do it!
Isa on the side agreed with Jinx's words. She jumped off the stool, ran to Li Ke, and then took out something and handed it to Li Ke.
"This is?"
Jinx explained from the side: "The smoke bomb made by Isa, did you see the button on the iron ball? After pressing it and throwing it out, a thick mist of paint will be sprayed out."
"You can also make weapons?" Li Ke was surprised.
Li Ke didn't know much about Isa.
Because Li Ke has never seen the character Isa either in the Alliance universe or in the Battle of Two Cities. Although he had guessed that Isa might be a character that appeared in the second season, Li Ke immediately gave up the idea. .
How could it be such a coincidence?
However, Li Ke also likes Isa.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Because Isa talks little, is smart, and sensible, and with her around, Jinx's mental state becomes better.
Although getting along with Li Ke, Jinx's mental state is already very good, and she has only had two seizures. But Li Ke is an adult after all, and he can't really calm down and play those little games with her. But Isha is different. She likes Play with Jinx.
After going back and forth, Jinx really became a character like Isa's sister.
Put it this way, if Li Ke brings a sense of security to Jinx, then Isa brings a sense of identity to Jinx.
And Isa will have such a good impression of Jinx
Well, Li Ke felt that if he had the same experience as Isa when he was a child, being rescued by a beautiful and neurotic older sister, and then being helped by her to bathe, sleep together, etc., then he would definitely like and pester her.
"It's amazing." Li Ke smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Isa's head.
Isa raised her head, smiled, and then ran back to her seat, climbed on the stool and started eating dinner. But when she got to the dining table, little Isa's face was stunned. She looked at her dinner plate, which had only Holding a piece of bread with irregular teeth marks.
"Huh?"
No, where is my big meatloaf?
Isa looked at Jinx and saw that Jinx turned her head away from her, revealing the profile of her face, and her mouth was moving and chewing silently.
"Ah!" Isa reacted immediately and reached out to push Jinx.
"Hehe, who told you to run around? I confiscated the meat pie~"
Li Ke looked at this scene and laughed.
Although this feeling is weird, it is really good.
In a strange and dangerous environment, accompanied by Isa and Jinx, Li Ke also felt like home.
Is the place where you lived before considered your home?
No, that doesn't count.
Li Ke smiled and shook his head. Then, he reached out and divided half of his meatloaf and put it on Isa's plate.
Isa's angry expression immediately faded away.
Li Ke looked at Isha and said, "Eat quickly."
Impressed?
In this family, you still have to look after me, Li Ke!
But then, Little Isa's operation made Li Ke's smile stop.
Isa forked half a piece of meat pie and reached out to pat Jinx on the back.
Jinx turned back and looked at Isa.
Isa moved her chin, coolly.
Jinx opened her mouth, and Isa reached out and put the meat pie into Jinx's mouth.
The little guy smiled happily.
Li Ke, who was watching from the side: "???"
What about me?
