If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 920 Holidays
The wider and taller the tall buildings in Chicago, the city of architecture, the deeper the alleys between them will be. The alleys here are no different from the alleys in other cities and countries. They are not comparable to "wide and narrow alleys" and "Sanqianliu Hutong", if you stand outside the alley and look inside, you can only see all iron fences and garbage bins piled up beside the gray brick wall.

It’s just that the dustbins of capitalism are larger than other places, and the materials inside will be more generous, which can effectively attract many homeless people to build nests with cardboard boxes next to them, and even develop a territory circle that belongs exclusively to beggars. , there is a sense of occupying the mountain as the king and guarding the resource refresh point in the game, which has led to the chaotic and severe ecology of the alleys. Recently, beggars have formed cliques. I don’t know when a capitalist roader will be formed. Here come the beggars with capitalist characteristics.

This is also the reason why the citizens of Chicago never like to walk in the alleys. The women who often appear in the movies walk alone in the alleys will basically never happen, but 90.00% of adult women will not try themselves if they are not drunk. Dangerous, men are the same way - so, this makes what happened next a lot smoother.

The braided boy was pulled by his collar and hung on the wall, his legs were off the ground, and his guts were shut down.Although it is too one-sided to accuse the blacks of being bullying, but if the black gangsters are all bullying, then there is no problem, so when Lin Nian single-handedly pulled him up, he was honest in an instant.

Not being honest, the CZ82 pistol he bought at the gang's 'friendship price' stuck in his waist is now being held by the other party, and he was disarmed and subdued within half a second of meeting him. This skillful technique made him shudder several times. Next, I feel that I may have actually encountered plainclothes.

But when the hell did Chicago.PD recruit Pitti Uomo male models? Isn't the director of Chicago.PD a middle-aged white male with a greasy gas tank?Oh, actually, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be a problem.
The next thing is easy to say, he is too familiar, facing the plainclothes police, as long as he doesn't let himself say anything about pleading guilty (law enforcement recorder).What the other party wants to know, he just needs to be honest and frank. At most, he will be given the title of "Snitch" by his colleagues.

When Lin Nian came out of the deep alley, everything was discussed. In fact, the process was one-sided. He asked questions and the other party answered.

He has only one question, which is the source of the string of teeth necklace. The braided boy confessed to this, and directly answered that he got it from a stupid Asian boy, and added that the boy was very attractive. I like it, but I can stay there enough. I suspect that the good face that deceives women is bought in exchange for one-third of IQ.

Lin Nian probably knew that he had found the right person just by hearing the word Asian. He asked the dirty braided brother in detail where he was plucking sheep, and then threw him head-down in the trash can. When he left, he handed the CZ82 to him. Unloaded and thrown into a ditch full of silt.

The incident revealed by the braided brother is not far from here, but the location is bad enough, because that place has left the shore of Lake Michigan and entered the urban area, and it is still near a place called 'Nolaw' Within the sphere of influence of the gang, although nothing particularly serious will happen during the day, a stupid guy walking into such a place is almost lucky to bump into a ghost.

Finding the location of the neighborhood on the mobile phone navigation map, Lin Nian took a taxi without any hesitation. The neighborhood was full of surveillance pedestrians and there were too many pedestrians, so it was not convenient to move too fast.

It cost Lin Nian thirteen dollars to get to the destination by car. After getting off the car, he swiped his phone to check the map and then seemed a little confused. This place is at least [-] kilometers away from the Chicago train station. How did he get lost here? from the side.

But now it is understandable to think about turning off the mobile phone, even the things hanging around the neck can lose the mobile phone.But it's a pity that when I searched the black boy in the alley, I didn't find many mobile phones. When asked, the other party only said that he took the necklace, but he couldn't find the mobile phone. Maybe this is not the first round of being robbed.

The number of high-rise buildings in the neighborhood near the place where Lin Nian got off the bus has decreased significantly. This should be regarded as a residential area in Chicago. There are many more five- to six-story flat buildings, and supermarkets and shops can be seen everywhere. became relatively normal.

Lin Nian swept the surrounding streets, passing the city's light rail facilities overhead, the train rumbled as it passed by, and the red rust of the shaking fell from the alternating light and dark light sources under the rails. It's not just Chicago that's in disrepair. It is a major feature of the entire American city. You can see this by looking at the subway in Chicago. When a homeless person goes to the subway and walks around when he is very hungry, he can always find something like a half-eaten box lunch on the ground.

"Paint the wall." Lin Nian walked around the block for a while and found the graffiti wall that the braided boy mentioned. A very long wall was full of paintings by street artists, abstract human face paintings composed of clashing colors of yellow, blue, red and purple. , and graffiti with gang patterns on the corner declares the ownership of this block.

Lin Nian stood in front of the graffiti wall and looked left and right. He walked to the end of the wall, where there was a row of barbed wire, and behind it was a wild basketball court. A group of 18- and 9-year-old black boys who were in puberty were playing. A few black girls with their heads lowered and playing with their mobile phones sporadically appeared on the seats, probably the girlfriend of the boy who played ball or something.

Lin Nian pushed open the barbed wire door and walked in. He went straight to the court. When he was near the basket, the group of black boys found him. He was about 1.8 meters tall with a hair shaved with lightning. The black man with the nick stopped dribbling the ball at that time, looked up at Lin Nian with the ball in one hand and shouted, "This place is full, outsiders are not allowed to join."

"I'm not here to play, just ask a question."

Lin Nian walked directly into the court, and the boys who were still fighting stopped and stood up to make way for them. The guy with the inch hair also threw the ball with both hands and walked over, "Hey, are you Are you looking for something?"

"It depends." Lin Nian saw him walking over, but he didn't go any further, and waited until the other party came to him.

The man stuck in front of Lin Nian just as he wanted to do something traditional to deter and ridicule him, but the moment he met Lin Nian's eyes, his heart rate suddenly slowed down a little—don't get me wrong, it wasn't love at first sight that ate this Asian. The boy's appearance, although he admitted that the other party did owe his parents a few heads, but black brothers are not one of the most homophobic races.

It was just that when he met the boy's eyes, he seemed to be pierced by the flashing sunlight in his eyes, and his chest was tight, feeling as uncomfortable as being hit in the chest by elbow crutches during the confrontation Come on, I feel very tired, I have lost my temper, and I just want to calm things down quickly.

"What do you want?" the man frowned and asked.

"A person, about 1.6 meters [-], wearing a black shirt and white striped T-shirt, slacks and sneakers. The characteristic is that he looks very impressive. As for how impressive it is, everyone who has seen it will understand what I mean. Have you seen him?" Lin Nian said concisely.

"Who is he?" The man raised his eyebrows suddenly.

"Have you seen it?" Seeing his reaction, Lin Nian nodded slightly, it seemed that he was lucky.

The reason why he can find here is very simple. People who play basketball usually play for several hours. At the same time, people on this kind of field court always have a habit of turning their heads to look outside the court when they throw a good ball. He always hopes that people passing by can see the scene of him playing handsome, and it is very likely that he will catch a glimpse of the person he is looking for.

"I've seen it." The man also nodded directly, "I even came in to play a couple of balls."

"He entered the basketball court to play?" Lin Nian felt that his confusion must have surfaced uncontrollably, but after a while he frowned and asked, "Did you let him enter the court?"

The man glanced at Lin Nian and said, "Not everyone has fault-finding written all over their faces like you. That guy looks...very interesting, so let him play a few games."

"How is he playing?" Lin Nian asked this question out of nowhere.

It doesn't mean anything else, just purely curious about the basketball skills of the elder brother of the school girl I have never met. If the younger sister has blood and can join Kassel Academy, then there is no reason for the elder brother to be a mediocre person, unless it is a half-father Reorganized family of half-mother.

"He doesn't know how to play basketball at all, but his physical fitness is good. He is accurate when he bumps into someone, but his height is flawed and he can't shoot. After playing a few times, he said that he suddenly remembered something. What to look for? People left."

"Which way are you going?" Lin Nian touched his forehead, feeling that the boy he was looking for really had a personality.

"At the entrance of the South Subway Station, before he left, he said he lost his wallet and borrowed $100 from me."

"You believed his words and borrowed him?"

The black brother shrugged and said, "Of course I do, because I picked up 1000."

Lin Nian looked up and down at the black brother in Kobe's jersey.

Conscience, but not much.

He didn't even think about helping people get back the remaining 900, so Lin Nian waved his hand and was about to leave, but the black brother suddenly looked at Lin Nian's back and said, "You know him, why don't you try throwing him away?" Do you want the money back?"

"Will you give it?" Lin Nian stopped and asked.

"Yes, but it depends on your skills." The black brother beckoned to his teammates to throw the basketball over, dribbled the ball with his left hand and stretched his right hand to retreat to the back half, "Fightball, 100 pieces, do you want to play?"

"I'm in a hurry." Lin Nian said.

As soon as this sentence was said, the boys onlookers at the side of the court began to boo, and the black brother also grabbed the ball and spread his hands with a helpless expression, "Hurry up for yoga class? (The reference comes from Fightball's Quote: If you don't like the sport, take a yoga class)"

"I mean, I'm in a hurry, 100 ones is too slow, 1000 ones will determine the outcome." Lin Nian raised his left hand to cover the direction of the sun.

The booing on the sidelines turned into booing in an instant, probably because Lin Nian uttered this sentence so smoothly, there was no feeling of reluctance or saving face from his demeanor to posture, as if he was going to say this in the first place Similarly, in the eyes of the young black boys who pursue the stimulation of the effect, they can only be described as "pretending to be in place".

This time it was the black brother's turn to be stunned, but he reacted quickly and patted the ball and whistled. A black girl in hot pants on the seat put down her phone and grabbed a shirt. A roll of dollar bills was found in a shirt pocket and dropped on the sidelines, and the booing grew louder.

Lin Nian didn't care too much, he pulled a necklace out from under the black T-shirt, he didn't know what brand it was, he only knew that Su Xiaoqiang forced it on him and said it was for this dress, but it's a pity that He doesn't like wearing things so much, so he keeps stuffed in his T-shirt.

"CC's necklace?" The girlfriend next to the black brother recognized it, a little surprised, even shocked, "You bet this? It's worth more than 1000."

She couldn't recognize which necklace it was from CC for a while, but the cutting technique and the amount of diamonds wouldn't be cheap. It couldn't be from the fine jewelry series, right?
Of course, the things that Su Xiaoqiang gave Lin Nian could not be cheap, and Lin Nian knew this too. As for whether Su Xiaoqiang would be angry because he used the necklace as a bet, of course he would not.

If Su Xiaoqiang was present, she would probably have taken off her own necklace and threw it on the ground to raise notes. This is a dream show for the little girl who lives in the mine, and she can't wait to follow Lin Nian Jumping and waving the flag and booing.

"Official Fightball starts at [-] balls. If you want to play, it's better to play big ones." Lin Nian tilted his head.

"Hey, wait, are you really that good at playing?" The black brother was a little surprised, "I won't bet with you."

"You can bet 1000. In fact, it's just 100 to you, right? After all, 900 is someone else's." Lin Nian said, "Anyway, it's not fair. If it's really fair, it means I'm bullying people. .”

"Have you really played a formal Fightball?" The black buddy is a little uncertain now, and re-examines the boy in front of him. He is about 1.8 meters tall (boys are still growing up until they are 20), although they are shorter than themselves There are a few, but the muscle lines under the T-shirt are much sharper than their own.

"I haven't played before, but I have this idea, but I haven't been free." Lin Nian walked to the half-court and stood in front of the black brothers.

What he said was half the truth, the main reason for not playing was because he was afraid of hurting others.

Fightball is a basketball confrontation similar to semi-free rules. It often appears in underground courts, left and right confrontations on 13-meter courts, DJ commentary, various aerial tackles, and brutal impacts are rarely called fouls. It belongs to the complete physique and physical fitness. Compared with wild basketball and street ball, everyone seems to be a lot more ladylike. Some retired stars may suffer a lot when they play this super confrontation game for the first time.

Lin Nian was interested in basketball at first, but after going to Kassel College, few people played basketball as a vigorous game, and more people liked to form a team to go to the holy place of "El Capitan" to challenge unprotected bare hands Rock climbing, or go downhill on uninhabited snow mountains.

"A ball, toss a coin to decide offense and defense." Lin Nian touched a coin and bounced it, "Remember to return it to me."

"It's just a coin." The black brother gave him a blank look.

"A coin of great significance." Lin Nian didn't explain too much.

The audience around them all sat down and held their breath, watching the black brother flick the coin with his thumb and fly high, Lin Nian’s gaze followed everyone’s. It is very eye-catching, it is a momentary thing for others, but for Lin Nian, he thought about many things that he didn't have.

If it was normal, I would have left the stadium long ago, but I don’t know why, maybe it was because of interest or other reasons, he still stood here and participated in this game, maybe he really listened to what the principal said in the church, right? The so-called "seven-day vacation" began at the moment of the church, and I really relaxed?
A group of young boys and girls ran outside the barbed wire, both white and black. They seemed to be from the neighborhood. It seemed that the girl who had something good to do at the seat could not help but tweet or Facebook to spread the word quickly. , and attracted a group of people nearby to watch.

The coin fell and covered the back of the black brother's hand. Only then did Lin Nian slowly lower his head and look away.

"Pros and cons?" the black boy asked.

"front."

Opened the coin, and it turned out to be heads.

"Good luck." The opposite muttered.

It's not wrong, because Lin Nian forgot to look at the trajectory of the coin, and he really guessed the front, so maybe his luck today is really good.

Lin Nian grabbed the coin that bounced over, and the basketball was in his hands. He subconsciously began to dribble the ball. Excited eyes were cast around him, and the crowd was in full swing.

The unlucky kid who lost his mobile phone, wallet and necklace probably won't run far, right?Although Chicago is not very peaceful, it is still daytime at any rate. The worst result may be to be stripped of clothes, pants and shoes, leaving a pair of pants and being detained by the patrolling police for destroying the appearance of the city?
That's not too bad, and it saves him having to follow the subway line to find someone.

The racket fell, then bounced, and suddenly it stuck to the palm of my hand as if it was stuck. Lin Nian slightly bent over and straightened his right hand to catch the ball, looking at the black brother in front of him clapping his hands and yelling to fire at me.

Play casually now and then.he thinks.
