I want to have a date with Superman

Chapter 33 The Girl in the Cardboard (During the new book period, please collect and recommend)

Ah, is it snowing? Selina stretched out her hand, and a little bit of ice fell on her fingertips, quickly melting into a cool liquid.

She quickly quickened her pace, like a pony running on the vast grassland, freely walking through the dark, dark alleys filled with the stench of all kinds of garbage.

The criss-crossing streets are the blood vessels of a city.

These alleys, then, are the capillaries of Gotham's diseased tissue, filled with viruses and stinky blood.

This is a hotbed of crime.

Every criminal is like a mold on his skin, and the colonies are densely packed in layers, making the city extremely sick.

Hey, is Old Hans here? There is some food here, do you want it? A homeless man wrapped in a thick leather coat huddled next to the trash can at the entrance of the alley.

She didn't come close and shouted from a distance.

Kitten? The old homeless man seemed to wake up from his sleep. After realizing who it was, he patted the trash can next to him and said, I'm lucky today, I got half a piece of pizza. Oh, God. Damn it, it’s actually snowing.”

Selina continued walking inside.

When she was young and unable to survive, she was helped very few times. It was common for her to be bullied by adults and children in Gotham, as well as by homeless people on the streets with the same status.

Therefore, she is definitely not giving back to society with a damn grateful heart.

She just never forgot how she felt back then. She was deeply impressed by two feelings that she would never forget in her life: hunger and despair.

Hunger paralyzed her and made her miserable.

Despair comes from hope. She lay limply on the street countless times, hoping that someone would give her a piece of bread or a hot dog.

What is more terrifying than hunger is despair transformed from hope.

Therefore, Selena does not hesitate to help others within her ability.

In the past six or seven years, she had not received much favor from other homeless people. Now, in the past two years, countless homeless people have received small favors from her.

Well, it's just small favors, leftovers, a torn quilt, an old clothes, a box of cold medicine. She will never communicate with them in depth, and she will never let them see the beautiful knife in her pocket.

If she has extra emotions, she is more willing to invest them in stray cats on the street, at least they will never hurt her in turn.

Hey, I have some food here, do you want it?

A narrow alleyway less than two meters wide was filled with old boxes, discarded furniture and other debris.

An open space was cleared under the wall, and a paper coffin was piled up with several cardboard boxes.

Selena knows every alley here as well as her own palm prints.

She knew that just two days ago there was no one here.

newcomer?

She guessed in her mind.

She wasn't surprised. In Gotham, people are bankrupt and unemployed every day, new blood joins the homeless army every day, and homeless people starve to death, freeze to death, are murdered, or disappear inexplicably every day.

Just like the digestive and circulatory system of the human body, it is full of twisted vitality.

Hello? Selena called again from a few steps away.

Still no answer.

She didn't leave.

According to her years of experience, this kind of talent needs the most help.

She picked up a stone and landed on the cardboard box with a thud.

Finally, the cardboard box responded, and a black gun barrel poked out from the gap.

Gudong. Selina swallowed and quickly explained: Don't get me wrong, I just have some dinner left. It would be a pity to throw it away. There is no other meaning.

I have blown the heads of two men. They both said they had some food left and kindly gave it to me, but when they got closer, they pounced on me like wolves. said the man in the box.

Ah, you're a girl! Selina was startled, and then said weirdly: You should have noticed, I am a girl too.

The other person was silent for a moment, then put the barrel of the gun back.

Your throat is a little dry and hoarse. Do you have a cold? It's been really cold these days. Selina hesitated for a moment, then threw the convenience bag in her hand.

If you don't need it, throw it in the trash.

After saying that, she turned around and walked out.

stop!

Selina turned around and found that the barrel of the gun had been extended again.

What's wrong with you? I've already left and you still point a gun at me?! She was a little angry.

Come here! said the cardboard girl.

Selena had no choice but to return to the cardboard box, akimbo and looking down to see what she was doing.

The cardboard box hut is made up of two cardboard boxes, one large and one small.

One is a Panasonic color TV box, and the other is a Siemens double-door freezer box.

The TV box moved two palms wide and stretched out a small white hand stained with stains.

The little hands carried the plastic bag containing the food back to the box. After a while of rustling, the little hands handed back a cardboard box with the remaining mushu meat and sashimi inside.

Take a bite, said the box girl.

This time, Selina finally understood the other party's intention.

As a newcomer, if you can be so vigilant, you really have potential, and you will probably survive in Gotham. She was half sarcastic and half sincere in praise.

But after she picked up the carton, she hesitated again. It was cold in winter, and the soup had already formed into a lump, sticking to the sashimi, which made her feel sick to her stomach.

If Selena was on an empty stomach, she could barely eat it, but now...

There's still half a loaf of bread in the bag, take it out and let me eat it, she said.

The girl with the cardboard box refused: Random inspection, we can't let you choose by yourself.

Just throw it away and just pretend I've never been here. Selena was a little irritated.

The girl in the cardboard box was silent for a moment, then there was another rustling, a small iron bowl, two bricks, a few wooden boards, and a newspaper.

The lighter ignited the newspaper, which in turn ignited the thin wood chips. The burning wood heated the iron bowl on the brick stove.

Then, she poured the food from the carton into the iron bowl.

呲呲呲 The soup in the iron bowl was heated, and bursts of aroma emerged. Selina was stunned.

Judging from the familiar look of the other party, it was obviously not a temporary move.

You really are.

Poor and particular!

She groaned in her mind, squatted down, inserted a piece of fish with a fork and stuffed it into her mouth.

Are you relieved now? She didn't want to stay here any longer, so she stood up and was about to leave.

Wait! The cardboard girl stopped her again.

Selina looked back.

Fortunately, I didn't take out my gun this time.

What's the matter? She stood there, tilting her head towards the cardboard box.

What's your name? asked the cardboard girl.

Why are you asking me my name? Selina asked curiously.

I know your name, and I will have the opportunity to repay your kindness in the future. The tone of the girl with the cardboard box was very serious, not like she was joking.

You want to repay me, but you say it's a favor? Selena became interested. You are so funny. You say you want to repay a favor, but you try to minimize the 'debt' at the same time.

I'm definitely not the kind of poor guy who will starve to death on the streets. The girl in the cardboard box said solemnly.

Huh? Selena raised her eyebrows and asked her to continue.

The girl in the cardboard box squatted in the box and chewed food, but her words were clear: I am very hungry now and need to eat. This is a fact, but I will not starve to death.

Besides, all you gave me were leftovers. If I hadn't seen that your teeth were pretty white, I wouldn't have eaten them at all. There were still teeth marks on the bread.

Selena bared her two rows of white teeth, Were you a little princess before? Now you are temporarily in trouble, and a knight will take you back to the palace soon?

——If I go back to the palace, it will be to take back my throne, not to fall into the arms of the king’s father.

The girl in the cardboard box did not say what was in her heart, Don't worry, I believe in Christ. I will avenge my enemies and repay my kindness. Tell me your name so that I can find you later.

Selena thought this girl was very interesting, and said with a smile: My name is Selena, Selina Kyle, others call me 'kitten', so there is no need to repay the favor.

I feed cats and dogs every day, never expecting them to reciprocate, I just do it for my own pleasure.

However, I am very curious about you. Don't you hide in the box all the time? Or do you have any infectious disease?

The carton girl was silent for a long time.

If you refuse to meet people all the time, a fool will become suspicious.

Maybe, this Selena, like those before her, doesn’t recognize her new look at all?

It's snowing outside, how about you come in and sit down? she suggested.

Now it was Selina's turn to hesitate.

She used to deliver food to homeless people without even getting too close.

But soon, she smiled and bent down to squeeze into the box.

——The other party is a girl, can you still knock her down?

Oh, you know how to find a place. There is actually a heating faucet here.

The cardboard box that can hold a double-door freezer is almost one meter high. It is not too narrow after getting in. Unexpectedly, there is a rush of hot air.

Then Selina touched a faucet plug, which looked like a fire hydrant, but the hot water flowing in it was used to heat nearby buildings.

What's your name? Selina looked at the other person carefully, but it was dark and she couldn't see anything.

Selena, you are a good person the cardboard girl said with some hesitation.

What do you want to say? Selina's mind was sharp and she immediately realized that the other party might want something.

The cardboard girl's voice was hoarse and she said slowly: I was shot. A bullet is stuck in the shoulder blade and I can't remove it myself.

Selina swallowed, her eyes widened, and she looked at the girl's right hand. There seemed to be a reflection of metal?

Could it be a gun?

Did she pull out the gun again?

You want me to help you get the bullets? If I don't agree, you will shoot me with a gun? she asked dryly.

The girl in the cardboard box was a little embarrassed. It was so dark inside the cardboard box. How could she see this afro face?

Well, Selena has dark golden curly hair, which is as fluffy as a dandelion, fair skin, red cheeks, tender and tender, full of collagen, but a big round face.

Maybe Xue Baochai's face is like a silver plate suits her just right.

You're overthinking it. If you need to threaten with a gun, there are so many homeless kids on the street, I would have let them do it. The girl in the cardboard box remained calm and stuffed the pistol in her right hand back into the seat cushion.

Selena, the old bird on the street, was actually fooled and agreed with her words.

How long have you been shot? she asked.

It's been several days, said the cardboard girl.

Shit, you've been shot for so long, and you're still jumping around and talking without taking a breath? Selina was stunned.

Can you help me? The girl in the cardboard box quietly held the handle of the gun again.

If Selina dares to refuse, she will actually pull out a gun and force her to work.

You were shot, but you didn't dare to go to the hospital. You're still a girl. Selena's eyes widened and she jumped up suddenly. She didn't jump up, but her head was on the cardboard box.

You are Harley Quinn, smile, queen, my dear! Uh-huh.

The silver Colt gun barrel was stuffed into the silver-faced girl's mouth, and the yelling stopped abruptly.
