nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 6

Marco looked at the figure of Tao Xi walking in front, and Marco suddenly felt a huge sense of security in his heart, because Tao Xi used to protect him and Hill all the time~
"Taoxi, thank you~"

"Crazy! Hurry up and go back and coax Hill, and do ideological work for him by the way, so that you won't cry when you go to the school on the street and be bullied by others, and take our spirit out of the sewer!"

"Okay! Don't worry!"

Tao Xi got up early the next day.

In fact, it's not that Tao Xi doesn't want to sleep late, but that Hill didn't fall asleep last night after being so excited~
Elder brother is long and elder brother is short. If Tao Xi hadn't threatened Hill to take back all the money if he didn't go to bed last night, Tao Xi might not even be able to sleep for these four hours.

"Marco, remember to ask, if you go to the preparatory class with that professor Niu Ma, can they take care of food and lodging! If they can take care of it, let's see how much we need to pay, and ask clearly."

Marko nodded obediently when he heard Tao Xi's words, but Hill pouted and muttered: "What kind of professor is it? It's Oxford University, which is a well-known university in the United States."

"Oh, Taxi! It's England, the British school!" Hill yelled angrily when he lowered his head and saw that the cookie tin that was originally used to hold money last night was thrown at him by Tao Xi.

"Hill, if you don't want to be looked down upon by others, you'd better change your Mexican accent!" Tao Xi glanced at Hill, then turned over and continued to sleep.

When Marco got dressed, Tao Xi said again: "Marco, do you know what you should do today?"

"I know, I know." When Marco was gently dragging Hill away from here, Tao Xi's words suddenly shocked Marco~
"Today, I need to borrow $100 from Mr. Williams to buy a decent dress for Hill, and leave $50 for pocket money for Hill! And I promise Mr. Williams that I will get the money within a week. Pay off the debt."

"The next thing is that Mr. Williams acted as Hill's guardian and allowed him to enter the Oxford school where he taught prefab classes for residential learning!"

Tausi closed his eyes and heard Marco's answer without saying a word. Just when Hill urged Marko to leave, Tao Xi asked again: "Do you know what you need to say, Hill?"

After hearing Tao Xi's question, Hill blushed and remained silent for a long time, and then Hill began to sob: "I am a child who walked out of the sewer, I am a descendant of Latino, why should I If you deny this, how can you say that I immigrated from England to the United States with Uncle Williams!"

Tao Xi, who had closed his eyes and remained silent, glared at Hill viciously with his bloodshot eyes just after waking up, and cursed, "Listen to Hill!"

"Since you have decided to go out to study, no matter what I do, I will let you go to university safely and steadily!"

"From today onwards, don't mention me or Marco outside again!"

"Because we are us and you are you! You need to be independent! You have grown up! I was 14 years old and was hunted down by a group of people who broke into our land from Mexico for you!"

"If you dare to mention that you came out of the sewer, I will break your leg!"

Seeing Tao Xi's ferocious look, Hill's flushed face instantly turned pale.

After Marco saw that Tao Xi started to sleep again, Marco grabbed Hill's head and dragged him towards the outside.

Just when Tao Xi thought everyone was gone and finally got quiet~
Hill yelled his voice outside, "Taxi, I'm Hispanic! I'm a Sewer Kid!"

Tao Xi didn't get angry when he heard Hill's words, because he knew that Hill was sensible since he was a child. No matter what Hill said now, he would definitely follow what he said when he came to that Oxford professor!
As for why Hill changed his accent and lied that he immigrated from England, it was not because of the general environment in the United States!
Back then, the reason why he was a yellow-skinned child and Marco ran away from the orphanage overnight was not because of his skin and Marco's language with a strong South American rural accent, and the fact that the orphanage ate one meal and starved three times. Treat, Tausi and Marco ran away~
Marco was abducted from Mexico to the Tijuana gang in California when he was a child, and was forced by the group to learn the skill of "drumming fleas".

The two of them floated outside for a year relying on this, and finally in one winter, the two of them were rescued by Old Gnar, and the two of them had their current lives.

However, when Tao Xi thought of the days when he was both a father and a mother, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Just when Tao Xi was about to sleep again, Tao Xi suddenly saw the picture on the broken cabinet from the corner of his eye. radio~
The words he heard yesterday began to play in Tao Xi's head again~
"Lotto [-]th Prize" "Lotto [-]th Prize" "Lotto [-]th Prize"

Thinking of this, Tao Xi couldn't help but feel agitated. When Tao Xi reached under the pillow and touched the 1 dollars made up of 1 cent and 40 dollar, Tao Xi suddenly stood up and wiped it blindly. Run towards the [US-Australia Community]~
It's just that when Tao Xi wanted to take a shortcut and passed by yesterday's old place, before Tao Xi got close to him, he heard the sound of construction not far ahead~
The sound of the water pump's "rumbling" operation continued to echo in the sewer. Just when Tao Xi mistook it for the Los Angeles County Water Bureau's construction, Tao Xi suddenly felt that the sound of the water pump was not right!
If it was the work of the water pump in Los Angeles County, the movement would definitely not be so big, because the Los Angeles County Water Bureau was often complained by people in the nearby community that it affected sleep and work when it started using high-power water pumps. In the end, it was the newly appointed director of the Water Bureau Promise to all the residents of [US-Australia Community] that they will not use high-power pumps to work to affect the sleep of these night shift workers, so that he can work normally and be re-elected for two consecutive terms!

These are the news that Tao Xi read from the news stand of Longer~
After figuring out these joints, Tao Xi quietly climbed up to the water pipe not far away. Tao Xi, who was flexible like a monkey, did not let the other party discover his existence~
The huge roar of the machine and a group of people wearing rain boots were working in the pipeline that was stuffed with rubbish by Taoxi yesterday. Giving various orders~
"Damn Kubi David! This villain is so successful, I suggest that we form a guild next year to remove this damn general manager!"

"Oh, don't think about it, brother, the performance of the United States and Australia Paper is getting better every year. How could Cube David, a garbage who secretly discharges sewage, be fired!"

"That's right, brother, let's clean up the garbage here honestly, maybe the vampire Cubby David will show kindness and give us a raise!"

"I don't know which idiot dumped the garbage in the sewer. If I catch him, I will stuff his head into the toilet and let him smell Cooby's stench!"

Tao Xi heard these people's discussions and slowly retreated bit by bit. When Tao Xi felt that he had retreated to a safe place, Tao Xi jumped down from the water pipe with a carp.
Tao Xi patted his unclean body nonchalantly, then walked towards another sewer manhole cover that directly leads to [US-Australia Community] with a worried face~
When Tao Xi once again stood in the world above the manhole cover, the colors of the entire Los Angeles County became richer in Tao Xi's eyes again.

Even the air and everyone came alive, unlike in the sewer, the colors Tao Xi saw every day were either black or black.

"If the lottery ticket incident is true, maybe I can really take our family to find a place where we can settle down in the American-Australian community or the black community!"

Tao Xi sniffed the smell of the air outside and walked towards the familiar news stand, even those passers-by who despised him at the beginning and took a detour gave each of them some smiley.

But when Tao Xi got closer and closer to the Wal-Mart shopping plaza, Tao Xi became more and more nervous.

"What if that radio was an April Fool's joke on me?"

"What if it wasn't Grandpa Long's newsstand! There are nearly 40 newsstands in the entire American-Australian community!"

Maybe buying lottery tickets is like this, especially when you know that those lottery tickets may win you a lottery. When you go to buy him, many ideas will burst out in your mind for no reason~
When Tao Xi saw the newsstand of Grandpa Longer not far away, Tao Xi began to hesitate!

Because he was a little afraid. He was afraid that if the record was false, he might have to worry about the high school that Hill might be admitted to. If the record was false, he might take Marco and Hill with him I have to work hard in the sewer for their class that can never be crossed!

"Hey, Tao Xi, damn it, I went to the sewer yesterday to look for you for a long time but I didn't find you! Why did you come today!"

Today's Nikita looks very high-spirited, and his ass is followed by several white boys in blue overalls. When Nikita talked to Tao Xi, Nikita still didn't forget to brag about himself: "Hey, how many of you Don't look at Tao Xi's young age, he is the leader of the Blood Gang in Prison No. 86!"

Tausi immediately reacted when he heard Nicka calling him this name.

The frowning Tao Xi seemed to dislike this title very much, Tao Xi pushed Nikta staggeringly: "Oh! Shit, it seems that Bolton didn't teach you very well, wait for you The next time I go to other blocks to commit crimes, I will let those black dogs take good care of you!"

Seeing Tao Xi's angry look, Nicka hurriedly lay down next to Tao Xi's ear and comforted him in a low voice: "Oh, just kidding, just kidding, these young people are my new recruits at the US-Australia Paper Industry. To save face, I am doing this for our future plans."

"What kind of bullshit plan, I'm going to fight those rich capitalists for my own living environment in the sewer!" Tao Xi said with a righteous face when he saw Nikita's appearance.

The three white boys on the opposite side were still in disbelief when they heard the black boy Nicka bragging that Tao Xi was the leader of the Blood Gang in the Los Angeles prison. After hearing Tao Xi say the three words "sewer", , these young lads immediately became silent.

One of the young men muttered softly: "These sewer bugs are all evil! Or I think we'd better forget about it."

The other person nodded in agreement when he heard this sentence. Nilta obviously felt that he couldn't hold back his face when he heard this sentence. He raised his foot and kicked the chest of the person who spoke first.

But Tao Xi stopped it nonchalantly: "Okay, okay, you don't need to do these things in front of me, you can solve them yourself, you know Nilta, the matter I said at the beginning You also have a share of the proceeds."

After saying this, Tao Xi could no longer stand up and mess around with Nilta here.

Because a man who looks very down-and-out has walked over to Loller's newsstand and read the newspapers. Who knows when that down-and-out gas station worker in McCann Reese will go and take the few remaining "lottos" lottery ticket".

After all, Tao Xi remembers everything that was said on the radio last night~
Tao Xi, who trotted to the newsstand, saw a new sign of "Lottery Ticket Purchase Point" with a reflective anti-counterfeiting label on the newsstand he called Grandpa Long before he got close.

Seeing this scene, Tao Xi was immediately overjoyed. Tao Xi, who was about to spend money to buy those lottery tickets, heard the quarrel in front of the newspaper~
"Ahem! McCann, you already owe me $5 for the newspaper here!"

"It's impossible for me to let you take away the newspaper that can let you find a job. I don't like to do business with people who have no credibility!" Lol's hoarse voice kept arguing with the man standing in front of the newspaper. , as soon as Tao Xi heard Long Er's voice, he knew that the little old man Long Er must have taken no medicine when he went out today, because when he spoke, there was always a feeling of thick phlegm in his throat~
The down-and-out man named McCann gathered his collar and said viciously: "Oh! Damn, it's not that I'm going to lose my job. That damn tally guy looks down on me, the gas station supervisor looks down on me, and now even You damn old man looks down on me!"

After saying this, McCann kept circling in front of the newsstand with an angry expression on his face, but Tao Xi didn't go forward for a long time, because what was said on the radio last night obviously didn't match the scene that happened in front of him !
