Selina took two steps forward, held Bruce’s face with both hands and said, “Sorry, honey, Maggie told me before that you had a mental problem, but I didn’t quite believe it, but now I do.”
“I know, I know…” Selina put her face close to Bruce and said, “You are a wealthy man, and a meal costs thousands of dollars. Even if you don’t know how much five dollars means in the slums, you should at least be able to see that this boot is a fake, right??”
Selina shook Bruce’s head away, pointed at his boots and said, “Even if you can’t see the details, can’t you see that its upper and sole are not the same color? Are you color blind?!
!”
At the end of her words, Selina started to yell, and Bruce was speechless to her question, because he really didn’t know what rain boots in the slums should look like.
Bruce doesn’t usually wear rain boots. When he was Batman, he wore the combat boots of the bat suit. Except that the thing looks like a shoe, it has nothing to do with shoes. When he was Bruce, he usually only wore leather shoes.
What? What to do on rainy days?
On rainy days, Bruce would call and ask the other party to prepare blankets wherever he was going. When the car arrived at the door, before he stepped out, the waiter would take a thick pile of waterproof blankets and umbrellas and spread them from the door to the lobby. If a drop of rainwater got on his shoes, the waiter would be scolded.
Now, the pair of rain boots Bruce was wearing had a slight color difference between the upper and the sole. The upper was ordinary green, while the sole was military green. Bruce recalled that the light was very bad at the place where he bought the shoes. After the boss handed them to him, he looked at them carefully, but he didn’t think there was anything wrong with the color.
Selina sighed and said, “My dear young master, these shoes are made of soles that others don’t want, and then made of low-quality rubber uppers and spliced together. They are fine when you first wear them, but once they are soaked in water for a long time, water will immediately seep in. Don’t even mention buying them for five dollars, I won’t wear them even if you give me five dollars!”
Selina put her arm around Bruce’s neck and said, “It seems that you have done a lot of stupid things in the past month. Let’s find a safe place, tell me the details, and we can go and get the money back…”
Bruce really wanted to say no, but looking at Selina’s eyes, he still didn’t say it.
Selena took him to a very dark alley, and then knocked on the window on the first floor. An old lady with heavy makeup stuck her head out and said, “Hey, isn’t this Selena? Why did you think of me?” “Madam, we want to find a house.” Facing this old lady, Selena was quite well-behaved. The old lady showed a puzzled expression and said, “What happened to the house you lived in before? Why don’t you live there anymore?” Selena rolled her eyes and said, “Don’t mention it. I’m tired of Hef, that soft egg. I want to find a house in the living hell. It’s okay if the price is a little expensive, but it must be safe.” The old lady put her head back and took out a newspaper. In the blank space of the newspaper, she wrote a series of words and house numbers. She put on her glasses and looked carefully and said, “There are two vacant rooms in the north area of the living hell. The conditions are good, but the rent is expensive, 8 US dollars a week…” “Can’t it be cheaper?” Selena asked, “I will pay the protection fee on time, and I will also order newspapers and milk. “
The old lady shook her finger and said, “Then I know where you should go. There is a new house in the South District. The newspapers and milk have been ordered. You can just live there. It’s $6 a week, and the price won’t increase. How about it?”
Selena nodded and said, “Please tell the gangsters there for me. I will go out occasionally at night. Oh, by the way, I will occasionally bring men back. Tell them not to make a fuss…”
“The living hell area doesn’t worry about this kind of thing now.” The old lady flipped the newspaper in her hand and said, “You get what you pay for. You will know when you live there.”
Selena took out her wallet, took out 20 cents from it, handed it to the old lady, smiled and said goodbye, then waved and left.
On the way, Selena explained to Bruce, “There are many such old women in the East District. They are generally socialites of the previous generation, and many of them are lovers of gangster bosses. “
“When they get older, men no longer like them, but they are doing well, they are familiar with the gang bosses, can easily enter the major mansions, understand social etiquette, can meet those big shots, and have a lot of influence in the East District. It’s right to rent a house from them.”
Bruce nodded in confusion, but he was not upset about it, because he really didn’t know about it, and anyone who just came here should not know it.
Selena pulled him to the side of the road again and said, “Let’s take a ride.”
“Take a ride? What ride?” Bruce asked.
“It’s a ride. This place is far away from the living hell. Don’t tell me you want to walk there. That will be exhausting… The car is coming! “Bruce turned around and saw a big truck coming, the same kind of truck he used to work in. Selina reached out to stop it, but after taking a look, she took her hand back. The big truck sped past them, and Bruce turned to look at Selina. “This car is not good, he won’t take us.” Selina shrugged and said, “He has cargo in his car, so he should be a night driver. Such drivers are busy working and won’t have time to care about others.”
Then, another truck drove past, but Selina still didn’t wave. He went on to explain: “This won’t work either. This is a female driver and she won’t let male passengers get on the truck.”

“Oh, this… this one doesn’t work either. This driver is too thin and not as strong as you. He will definitely become suspicious when he sees you.”
“Oh! This one!” Selina finally stretched out her hand and waved vigorously. The truck stopped. Two strong men sat in the cab, covered in tattoos and with ferocious faces.
But Selena was not afraid at all. She leaned forward, holding two bills in her hand and said, “Hey, man, I want to take a ride to live in hell. Are you free?”
One of the men smiled obscenely, but before she could speak, Selena said: “I have enough time tonight to have fun with you, but…”
Selina smiled sweetly, and the other driver winked at his companion. The companion coughed and said, “You can only go to the carriage. Get off the car as soon as you get there, and give me the money.”
Selina threw the money in her hand into the cab and took Bruce into the carriage. This car was transporting frozen beef. There was a strange smell in the carriage. Bruce and Selina found a box to sit down. , after a bumpy ride, we finally reached our destination.
After getting off the car, Bruce asked Selina: “Did they just want to…”
Selina shook her head and said, “They are just talking nonsense and don’t dare to let me enter the cab.”
“There are no women to mess with in the East District. They would rather spend money to go to prostitutes than approach a woman who takes a taxi in the middle of the night, because as a prostitute, you only need to pay and let me get in the car, which may mean losing your life.”
When they arrived at the living hell, Selena didn’t take anything, so she went directly to the room. After a while, there was a “bang bang bang” bang on the door. Selena didn’t open the door, but just slipped the rent money under the door. After sending it out, the other party stopped knocking.
Bruce looked at the room. This room was much better than the one he lived in before. It not only had one bedroom and one living room, but also had a balcony facing south, a toilet, a kitchen, and even a shower room. This room was almost out of the scope of the East District. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an apartment building between the South District and the North District.
Selina pulled Bruce to sit on the sofa. She lit a cigarette and said to Bruce, “Now, you can always tell me what happened these days, right?”
And Bruce was finally willing to speak and tell about his experiences these past few days.
In the process of narrating, he emphasized the traps he might encounter, the experience of being deceived, and the various encounters that would make him fall back into the trough. But Selina did not show any surprise at all. He just listened quietly. With.
Bruce finally finished everything. He said: “This is why I feel ridiculous. People here have no room for error. As long as they make a wrong step, they may…”
“Who told you?” Selina squinted her eyes and said, “Bruce, why didn’t I realize before that you are such a stubborn person??”
“Why haven’t you thought about it, you weren’t born here, so you don’t have relatives and friends, and you didn’t join a gang, so you don’t have brothers here. You are an orphan, so of course you will have a hard time.”
Selena covered her forehead and sighed: “I have never thought you were a stupid person, but I must say it today, why can’t your mind turn around so well???”
Seeing Bruce’s slightly confused look, Selina said: “Take me as an example. My dad died a long time ago and my mom doesn’t care about me. I joined the thieves gang a long time ago. This doesn’t sound like a good thing. Right?”
“However, I still keep in touch with the sisters I met when I was a child. The house I rented before was introduced to me by one of my sisters, and it was at a discounted price!”
“My mother, the thief who taught me skills, was right to let me steal things for her, but through her, I also got to know a lot of people who sell stolen goods. These people have connections to various gangs and can steal the things I steal. For selling, there is a market right next to the place where I lived before. If I want to buy anything, I just go to them. They are all acquaintances and will not cheat me. “
“Later, I started working as a snitch. I was very familiar with the famous snitches in the East District. We would occasionally play together and exchange information and experiences with each other.”
“Also, don’t I know how to do gymnastics? I will bring some little girls to help and teach them stealing skills. Their gang will give me money and help me with errands. I can order newspapers and milk at discounted prices. ”
“Also when shopping for food and cooking, the first time you eat and have diarrhea, it’s not because your intestines are not used to it, but because the place you go to is designed to deceive outsiders.”
“Do you know what I usually eat?” Selina looked into Bruce’s eyes and asked. Bruce shook his head. Selina glanced at her watch and said, “Okay, it’s not bad to have a midnight snack now. Come with me.” ”
Selina took Bruce out of the living hell again, and took a ride in the same way to a more prosperous place in the East End. There were many restaurants here and there were truck drivers lining up for dinner everywhere.
But Selena didn’t queue with them. Instead, she found a dark little shop at the end of the street. She pulled Bruce and sat in. Bruce looked at the environment of the shop and said:
“You’d better make sure you can take me to a place to treat gastroenteritis, otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll finish eating this time…”
The next second, the steaming rice was brought to the pot. Bruce was surprised to find that what was placed in front of him was beef with marble-like patterns. Yes, it was the kind that cost hundreds of dollars a meal.
