Chapter 8
The life in the abandoned mine
After finished the last operation of the micro welding, Sheilor took down the dark color protection lens from the face satisfied, put all the repaired finished products in the operating room, classified according to the labels on them, into the metal grilles neatly, pressed the button and moved them out of the operating room. These repaired goods would be sent back to the fourth block of the Vanilla Avenue, Sheilor just always got ready in advance habitually.
Washed the face with the hot water, Sheilor was used to his way to bring out the medicinal liquid from the drawer and dropped it into the eyes carefully. Although there were all kinds of observation equipments to help, but those metal chip worlds, for the eyes of every mechanic technician, would be a kind of torture. And once he focused in the metal chip world, he would forget the existence of the time, so his eyes were a little bit red at the moment.
"Go to have a rest first, take a look at the scenery, and relieve the eye muscles." Fengyu rubbed his that grey hair, he was very satisfied with Sheilor's speed and concentration. In the last half year, the things of the repair shop on the Vanilla Avenue were basically operated by Sheilor in this remote mine, and Fengyu just needed to stay in the shop. He would come to this place to give some directions every weekend, gradually, Sheilor's speed was getting faster and faster, it's even quicker than Fengyu this mecha maintenance mechanic of the military.
Sheilor answered with an “Mmm” from his throat, took out two bottles of juice drinks from the fridge on the wall, followed behind Fengyu, and walked toward the upper place of the mine.
Listened to the metal crashing sounds from the front, he couldn't help to raise his head, and then he saw that very cool junk jeans uncle wearing, the extremely tight hips packed by the denim of the jeans, and.... The big bunch of keys, such like five-star knife metal things, kept swinging in the air and then hit on that big ass occasionally, and sent out the irksome sounds.
He always hadn't understood why Fengyu formed himself into this kind of image, but Fengyu said to him, the sword in swordsman’s hand and the gun in gunman's hand were never away from the body. They these mecha maintenance technicians, of course should not let the tools be away from the body... In fact, Sheilor understood, this uncle just thought that it's exceptionally man for the charm to have the wind-bell on his tight ass, which could attract those lonely young women's eyes.
The time had been very late, the light over the sky of the East Forest Region was getting dim gradually, the twilight was getting red and dark gradually, on the large pile of the metals behind Fengyu, reflected a dazzling gloss. Sheilor that originally not so big eyes narrowed naturally, looked at the back of that climbing the hill somewhat difficult figure, he couldn’t help to think of that he walked into that repair shop sillily two years ago.
The relationship between Fengyu and him was a little bit strange, it's not the relationship between the student and the teacher, but he did learn his most longing for knowledge and experience about the machine maintenance from Fengyu.
Although repairing the electrical equipments for his ideal, that becoming the auxiliary official or getting into the Capital Planet Circle to make a good life ideal, had no any help, but at least Sheilor from that little repair shop, got a lot of quietness and satisfaction.
Sheilor also couldn't be counted as the hired worker by Fengyu, because Fengyu never paid him any salary, he just left enough food in the freezer, from the treatment to say, Sheilor just could be regarded as the poorest indentured laborer of the repair shop on the Vanilla Avenue... But in these two years, Sheilor did make a lot of money for that repair shop.
"The registration of the recruiting examination, if it's for the maintenance sergeant... The government will only reimburse forty percent of the expense." Sheilor looked at the back figure of the uncle, summoned up the courage and said, "There are only two years left, and I need to save some money."
The subtext of this sentence of course was that he hoped the boss of the repair shop would pay him some salaries. However, Fengyu didn’t turn his head back and refused him directly, "When you asked me to teach you at the beginning, have I charged you any tuition fee?"
He is really a shameless people, even more shameless than I am. Sheilor thought this way in his heart, but thought of that when he ran into the repair shop at the beginning, the rogue way holding the boss's thigh and not letting it go, he didn't have the courage to ask the salary thing anymore, he heaved a sigh helpless, ran a few steps forward and sat down by Fengyu's side.
They two people were sitting on the top of the mine at this time; there was the large shadow of the city buildings far behind, just far away, so it's particularly fuzzy. But there was the large green grass plain in front of them, they could see the towering trees at the depth of the grass plain, the pure and fresh nature scene was sending out the bouncing fire feeling right at this time under the sunset.
“Actually I have been very curious.” Fengyu didn’t take the fruit juice which Sheilor handed over, but lit up another cigarette, enjoyed a mouthful of absorption, looked at the grassland in front of him greedily and said, “There are at least one thousand repair shops in the East Forest Region, why did you prefer me deliberately at the first place?”
Sheilor took a look at him surprised, he had never thought that the thing had already been passed two years and now he would think of and asked this question. After a moment’s pause, he lowered his head and said, “The café’s vacuum-automatic door was broken at that time, and I heard that it was fixed by you later on, so I went to look for you.”
“Everyone would know how to fix that door.” Fengyu didn’t even turn his head back.
“Maybe you were too happy when you fixed that door…” There was a suddenly flicker of joy in Sheilor that sincere eyes when he laughed, “The no-glue vacuum juncture of that B2 mouth was done too beautiful, the deviant is on the MM level, this is two grades higher than the civil standard, it’s even a little bit higher than the military standard. From then on, I would know that boss you are not the average person.”
Fengyu was somewhat surprised, he could not help but laughed, he turned his head back and raised his hand and wanted to hit on his head, but only ended up to rub on Sheilor that black messy hair and said, “You are really a crazy guy, who would have thought to measure that thing?”
“Probably it’s the intuition?” Sheilor laughed happily, “I just felt that there is some speechless weird about that door, it happened that I just had a sum of money in my hand at that time, so I went to buy a set of fixed-sorting device, I got the weird once I gave it a measure.”
“Even the smallest sorting device can’t be inserted under the door, I’m just very curious, how did you measure it out?” Fengyu had the interest obviously.
“Uh…” Sheilor had a silence embarrassedly for a moment and then said, “I asked Levi for some helps, we took apart that café’s door in the midnight… Of course, in the same night, we installed it back again, I am not a thief.”
Fengyu couldn’t refrain from laughing, he asked, “But I installed the burglar alarm on that door…”
“That one was hidden in the sandwich glass?” Sheilor bowed down his head embarrassedly and replied, “I… Found it out at the first time, and also… took it apart.”
Fengyu fell into silence suddenly; he looked at the youngster sitting next to him quietly and hadn’t talked for a long time. Two years ago, Sheilor was only an autodidact who memorized hard all the technological processes and code standards through the library, he had already known how to tear down the burglar alarm which he installed, it seemed that the judge he had on the sofa previously was not wrong indeed.
A few heads of sturdiness buffalos, wrapping around the light congealed into by the twilight at this time, were wandering out from the woods slowly and came over toward the direction of the mine.
Sheilor and Fengyu two people stopped all the thinking and action at the same time, they just gazed at these
few heads of buffalos in a daze, the eyes were sending out the sight called greedy.
“Uncle, we haven’t had any fresh beef for half a year already.” Sheilor swallowed the saliva down and sounded out to ask.
Fengyu stood up, he looked at the continuous and having no end metal separation net between the abandoned mines and the plain, his look was abnormal ugly, he said in a grieved tune, “In my this lifetime, hate two of the federal laws the most, one of them, that’s exactly that damned wildlife protection law.”
Sheilor endured his laughter; he looked up and asked, “What’s another one then?”
“The First Charter.”
After he finished these most arrogant words, he then brought Sheilor with him to walk toward the buffalos over the separation net there in a bold stance.
