Chapter 495 What is Poverty?
"These, and these, please deliver them to this address for me." Heath looked at the furniture in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. These furniture were all very good, but this also had something to do with the brand Heath bought. He bought the brand that Junsha and others often used, and Heath had become accustomed to using this brand. Although the appearance was not very good, at least the quality was really good, worthy of being the brand designated by Junsha and others.
"Okay sir, do you need to buy anything else? This is the silver card member of our supermarket~" The manager rubbed his hands with a smile. Heath bought a lot of things at one time, and the prices were very expensive, so it was normal to give him a silver card.
Heath glanced at Zoroark. Now the little guy still maintained Betty's appearance, happily holding a big bag, which was filled with novels she bought, a lot of them. Farfetch'd directly lent Zoroark two thousand dollars, which Zoroark exchanged for comic books and novels, and also bought a game, which seemed to be the latest Monster Hunter.
"No more." Heath shook his head. He had already bought everything he needed to buy today, and there was nothing else he needed to buy for the time being.
Originally Heath had considered whether to buy some other items, but after thinking about it, he decided that he would not stay in Ziyuan Town for too long, so he did not buy them for the time being. If he planned to settle down in the future, he could buy them then.
"But I don't know why, I always feel like I'm suddenly being blamed. Why is that?" Heath was a little confused, but if he knew what happened in Pallet Town, then he would know where this feeling came from.
After leaving the supermarket, Heath and Zoroark walked slowly on the street. Heath had considered whether to drive here, but thinking that the parking lot near the supermarket was not easy to park, Heath did not drive. In fact, Heath's choice was very correct. The supermarket was very full of cars. Secondly, if he drove here, it would probably take a while to find a parking space.
Whether in the previous life or in this world, parking spaces have always been a difficult problem.
"Trainer, trainer, this drink is really delicious. Can I buy another bottle?" Zoroark licked her lips. She had just bought a bottle of lemon-flavored drink in the supermarket. It tasted very good. Zoroark liked it very much and had finished it all.
"It's better to drink less. I don't want you to turn into a fat fox in the future." Heath glanced at Zoroark, and then saw that Zoroark was about to throw the bottle in his hand into the trash can, but Heath took it away and handed it to the old man who was picking up trash with a bag in front.
"Thank you." The old man thanked him politely. Heath stepped aside. He could not bear the bow of an old man.
Heath and Zoroark continued walking. Zoroark looked back in confusion. She didn't understand why the old man wanted to pick up the bottle of drink she had finished.
"You look confused. Are you interested in this old man?" Heath glanced at Zoroark. Zoroark was actually very easy to understand. Her expressions, her thoughts, and her emotions were all directly reflected on her face.
"Why did that old lady pick up the bottle just now? I clearly drank everything inside." Zoroark was indeed a little confused about this situation.
" Zoroark , have you ever seen the poor people in the human world? Or what do you know about poverty in this world?" Heath asked calmly. Even in the world of Pokémon, the gap between the rich and the poor is inevitable.
"Poor people? Oh, I get it. Are they the people in the novels who can only live in ordinary apartments with a view?" Zoroark had an expression that said I understand. Heath couldn't help but roll his eyes. Good man, people who live in ordinary apartments with a view are considered poor. This seems to be a little different from the poor people Heath imagined. What kind of novels is this little guy Zoroark reading?
But when he thought that some people who write novels come to experience life, Heath became much calmer. These people simply cannot understand what poor people are. Maybe for them, living in an apartment with a view and having to pay off credit card payments of tens of thousands of dollars every month is what is called poor.
"The word 'poverty' is much more cruel than one might imagine." Heath shook his head. Those who live in the View Apartment are not considered poor. They should be considered as living from paycheck to paycheck, and at that they must be very well paid.
Heath has seen many poor people. The poor in the city live in basements and pay hundreds or thousands of dollars in rent every month, but the space they can move around in may be as small as a bed and a toilet. The poor in rural areas are even more desperate. They basically have not received a good education and can only live as farmers all their lives. Even for them, being a farmer is the only means of making a living. Their family may not be able to save more than 10,000 yuan.
"The truly poor people can only choose to die miserably at home even if they suffer from any slightly serious illness." Heath sighed.
Heath still remembered that he had seen a news report about a delivery boy who had no money to treat his illness and had to die outside. This kind of thing would make people despair at any time, but it must be said that poverty is really a terrible thing.
Zoroark blinked in confusion. She didn't quite understand. Besides, if someone was sick, couldn't they just go to the Pokémon Center?
"Don't think about it. The more you think about this kind of problem, the sadder you will become." Heath touched Zoroark's head. There are too many dark and desperate things in this world, but if you keep your eyes on these things, you will become depressed. Sometimes people just need some optimism to live a healthy and happy life.
Life is so short, what's the point of making yourself sad?
"By the way, I haven't used the food identifier to look at the lettuce yet..." Heath thought of his achievement mission in Lavender Town. Besides, he also got a clue about Lavender Town. It seems that there is a very special Pokémon here.
Heath couldn't help but look to the north of the Pokémon Tower. He remembered that according to the special clue, the special Pokémon was at that location.
