Chapter of the Sacrifice (6)(2/2)

I had been squatting here for a long time. When he and his friends pointed at me and smiled from a distance, I guessed that they might be trying to make a prank.

Sure enough, I opened the hot dog and glanced at it and found that there was a lot of yellow mustard squeezed inside, but I still pretended not to see it, took a light bite, then looked so spicy that I was dysfunctional, and made an exaggerated reaction with tears.

After seeing my reaction, the young people laughed across the street, and were so happy that they leaned back and forth. After a while, they felt that it was meaningless and left.

It seems that the universe I came to later is the same as the place I was originally in at least one point - there are enough fools in society.

This is a good thing.

When they left, I stopped performing, ran to the nearby fountain to drink a few sips of water, then pulled off all the mustard from the hot dog, and ate it slowly with the fountain water. At the end, I left a small piece of bread, carefully repacked it with wrapping paper, and put it in my pants pocket.

This meal is considered a high-calorie food. With this meal at the bottom, it will not be a problem until tomorrow. The next thing to solve is the problem of keeping cold and the place to sleep.

I always feel...I seem to be doing some kind of survival activity. Ironically, if I were surviving in the wilderness, I could almost use everything around me at will, but in a place like the city where resources are extremely abundant and even a lot of waste, I have many restrictions.

…………

In the afternoon, I took an empty jar I picked up and asked passers-by for "change". Perhaps the elegant rag shape on my body had added points to myself. By the evening, the harvest was really good, and it cost eleven yuan in total.

By the way, the currency abbreviation of this universe is rmb, which makes me feel quite frustrated, and its purchasing power is similar to that of rmb in my understanding.

In the evening, I used the ten yuan I had to buy the cheapest disposable umbrella, and then I waited until dark, and took advantage of the night to get into a community with very poor security, found an old clothing donation box, and put the end of the handle of the umbrella into the hook clothes.

These clothes should be delivered to people in the "poor areas", but considering that I am also very poor now and I am about to freeze to death, no one will care about me that I have saved up a few of the processes; when I have money in the future, I will buy a plane ticket and fly to the poor areas, and then go through formal channels to collect them.

In this way, I quickly got out two sweaters and a coat, and when I saw it, I took it away, and left with my clothes.

I went to a place where no one was around to put on my clothes, and then used the last dollar to enter a public toilet on the street.

I get cats in this place during the day. It is a self-service design, like a telephone booth, with five in a row. You can open the door and get two pieces of straw paper at the coin port. As for the use time... there is no limit.

I was delighted after I opened the door because I found that there was a toilet inside instead of squatting, which meant that I could sit overnight instead of lying in the corner with my legs spread apart.

I walked in, sat down, closed the door, and started eating the little bread I had left during the day.

Although the toilet is small, there is everything you should have. There is also a simple bathroom on the back of the door, the kind with a mirror. It is also a place two hundred years smaller than my original universe. These civil facilities have indeed made progress.

After eating the bread, I used a piece of broken lamp glass I picked up in the garbage dump, and shaved my beard with the hand washing lotion in the toilet. As for my hair... I thought about it and shaved it. Although keeping my hair can keep warm to a certain extent, this image is too bad, which will prevent me from going to various occasions and is prone to breeding a lot of bacteria. It is better to shave my head and find something to make a hat or wrap it around my head if it is really cold.

Then, I "take a shower" in this self-service toilet.

Of course, the water flows in the sink and there is no shower head, so I can't take a shower; my way of washing is to take off the T-shirt on my body and rub it in the water, use it as a wet towel, then squeeze in hand sanitizer, wash yourself from head to toe, and then rinse it with the clean water wringed out of the T-shirt little by little.

This process took a long time, after all, the space is small, and this place was not designed to be used for bathing. Fortunately, it is quite warm here, and the more you wash the cold shower, the hotter it becomes.

After roughly washing it, I wiped my body while twisting my T-shirt, then quickly dried my T-shirt with the hot air from my phone. At the same time, I tried my best to dry myself in a few awkward positions, and finally put on the dry clothes hanging next to me.

After all this, I was so tired that I just sat on the toilet and fell asleep.

This is the first day I spent in the world after traveling through time. I think I will always remember this day, because the first step is always the most difficult. After this, the next difficulty I encountered was "finding shoes", and later... it was not that difficult.

Because I cleaned myself up a lot, I had shoes on my feet and my old clothes were not too torn, so I didn't look so much like a homeless man when I walked on the road. In this way, I could spend the night at night at the subway station with central air conditioning, and no longer had to worry about getting frozen.

During the day, I go to pick up rags and sell them for money, and occasionally I can do odd jobs, such as moving things to people, shoveling snow, etc.; if my body gets dirty and smelly, I go to the "one dollar toilet" to take a shower... Of course, I can afford soap and towels later.

When the weather gets warmer, my life is getting easier. Because summer clothes are cheaper, the money I save is enough to buy cheap T-shirts and mid-trousers. After changing into new clothes, I don’t look like a sleeping street person at all. So I started to pretend to be a college student and do some "summer jobs" such as helping people paint and repairing roofs.

Yes, I can pretend to be a student. My body is actually one or two years younger than me. In addition, many foreigners have college students with faces that look like they are forty years old, so it is not difficult to pretend.

In addition, the languages ​​of this universe are mainly Chinese and English. People of all skin color will say these two words, which also makes my daily life a lot more difficult. After all, my English is a bit bad...

In this way, the days passed day by day, and before I knew it, it had been a year since I came to this universe.

A year ago, I woke up from a public toilet and died of cold and starvation; a year later, I had moved into a cheap shared apartment, with food, clothing, housing and transportation guaranteed.

I also went to the federal government to make up for a citizen ID on the grounds of "accidental loss". Since they did not find the previous information about my face, I could still name myself, so I gave myself a name called "John Smith", which can be regarded as a legal identity.

By this stage, I have survived steadily.
