nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 11

Tao Xi looked at the back of Anthony nervously holding the dollar bill in his arms and the key in his hand, the corners of Tao Xi's eyes twitched, and it was at this moment that Tao Xi felt distressed again!

The last time he felt distressed was when Hill and Marco took away his savings~
You know, this was the United States in 1984, and now a brand new Santana car in the United States only sells for $7000!

Tao Xi resisted looking at the direction Anthony was leaving. Nelson also ran back out of breath at this time. Nelson, who was out of breath, glanced at his brother in the distance with a pale face. Nelson had a question mark on his face!
Nelson really didn't know what happened during the half hour he left, but he was about to become a hot dog shop owner, he didn't care about that, all he wanted to know now was whether the landlord came!
"The hot dog shop opened and worked hard! From now on, prepare a free hot dog for me every day! Do you understand?"

Nelson nodded enthusiastically when he heard Tao Xi's words, and at the same time, Nelson patted his chest and assured him: "Don't worry, two a day, I will definitely make you fall in love with my hot dog!"

"I won't say hello to Brother Ti in a while. Remember to tell him that I have already given him the benefit fee for letting him do things. Let him investigate that matter for me. I need evidence!"

Nelson, who was already overjoyed, couldn't care less about what Tao Xi said, because Nelson had already seen a hurried man running towards them with a contract in his hand~
Seeing this scene, Tao Xi shook his head helplessly.

"This is a transfer contract, you just sign it, you see when you go to the notary office for notarization, just come to me at any time." Anthony who came over surprised Nelson, but Tao Xi didn't care about that, Tao Xi directed Anthony pointed at Nelson and turned to leave. Only Anthony and Nelson were left standing there chattering and haggling.

After a long time, Nelson licked his lips and said, "What about the money? How much?"

After Nelson said this, he habitually went to look for Tao Xi who was squatting behind him. This turn around gave Nelson a terrible scare!
Because Tao Xi was missing!

"Oh! Fxxk! I just knew how my brother could have such a generous friend, he just returned."

"Hey, bro, please respect Tao Xi, he has already paid the money, as long as you pay on the contract, this newsstand will be yours!" Anthony glanced at Nelson angrily and didn't know what to say~
But after hearing what Anthony said, Nelson jumped three feet high on the spot~
"Brother! We finally have our brother's first hot dog shop in LA County!"

Nilta, who was sweating all over his body, saw a white man with tattoos, whom he seemed to have known in prison, appeared near Taoxi, and Nilta kept muttering: "It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, Maybe I got my brother involved this time! Damn it, what was I thinking just now, I want my brother to hang out with Tao Xi too."

Nilta's feet are full of cigarette butts~
The flustered Nierta really wanted to run away now, but his younger brother didn't know where Tao Xi had gotten him. Whenever Nierta wanted to go forward to apologize to Tao Xi, he remembered The wise words that Bolton often said in prison!

"If an apology is useful, then why do you need the Los Angeles Police Department? What else do you need to help?"

This sentence is like being engraved in his mind, uneasy, remorseful, and Nilta knows that it is useless for him to say anything at this time, he can wait for the trial of only the blood gang~
While Nilta was still introspecting, Nelson suddenly yelled and Nilta came to his senses~
Nilta, with red eyes, looked towards his younger brother. Seeing his brother, Nelson yelled again: "Nilta, we have our own hot dog shop!!!"

"what?"

Nilta walked to his younger brother and stared at the slightly dilapidated newsstand and was stunned, but his younger brother pointed to some damaged parts of the newsstand with excitement and said: "The roof here is a little broken. We can mend it when the time comes, and we can change a big lock for the rolling gate at the door~"

When Nilta saw that a dollar bill and a copper key were pressed against the door of the newsstand, Nilta suddenly understood everything~
"Brother, who is that little kid! He said he wants you to remember your affairs, and asks you to do it well"

At this moment, Nilta suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sour. Nilta just muttered in a low voice: "He is really different from them. He is a good person. He is really a good person."

Tao Xi, who has money, did not fall asleep last night, and finally fell asleep.

Tao Xi didn't dream that his money was stolen, or his old nest was robbed. Tao Xi felt very painful, but he was also very happy, because Tao Xi, who couldn't sleep, was holding the dollar that smelled like ink. And the radio he snatched kept fantasizing about how to spend his money in his mind.

But Tao Xi, who had thought about it for a long time, still sighed helplessly. Although he didn't know how much the tuition fee of the Harvard Westlake High School that Hill often went to, it would definitely not be cheap.

But Tao Xi still made a simple plan, he would first buy a clean suit for each of the three brothers,
Then go to help Hill exchange the huge sum of money into a signed check, and finally send part of the living expenses to Mrs. Williams.

The last thing to do is to go to Wal-Mart to buy a video camera as a night crawler!
Thinking of this, Tao Xi couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Tao Xi said to himself complacently: "I'm so smart!"

In the eyes of Tao Xi, a sewer gangster who has never seen the big world~
Nightcrawler has many benefits, not only can he not be bullied by those damn Los Angeles Police Department agents, but he can also make money.

Taoxi remembers very clearly that the guy named Malone just took pictures of a theft scene casually, and the person on the other end of the phone gave him 80 dollars. You know Taoxi worked hard for a month on selling cigarette butts. To earn so much money.

But that guy named Malone can earn whatever he wants, and the cops don't dare touch him!
Although Tao Xi doesn't know who to sell to, but Tao Xi already has a plan in his heart, a plan that can make a lot of money~
Tao Xi, who walked to the sewer of the US-Australia Paper Industry, glanced at the section of the sewer that was still discharging waste water. Tao Xi did not throw garbage in it this time~
Because a red dot suddenly appeared in the dark sewer, Tao Xi knew it was an infrared night camera!

Although Tao Xi didn't know the exact price, but Tao Xi heard from Uncle Bolton that there were many cameras of that kind in Prison No. 86, and the existence of these cameras caused him great trouble.

Tao Xi, who probably glanced at it, patted his butt and turned his head and left~
Nelson is very happy today, because the location of this newsstand is very good. He sold 3 hot dogs in less than 24 hours after opening the booth. Thought~
Just when Nelson was about to sit down and take a rest to check the magazines and newspapers on the newsstand, suddenly there was a sound of knocking on the manhole cover~
Nelson walked to the back of his newsstand following the voice, and a person he was very familiar with appeared!

"Tao Xi! How did you come out from here?"

Tao Xi, who drilled skillfully out of the manhole cover, first picked up the takeaway box he threw aside, then pulled the manhole cover back and said, "Oh? Well, I live here!"

"What? You. You. You live in. The sewer!"

Tao Xi rolled his eyes at Nelson and complained: "If I want to eat people, can I keep you and your brother until today? Hurry up and get me a hot dog!"

Nelson stood still and rubbed his hands on the apron hanging on his chest~
Tao Xi ignored Nelson, but walked into the newsstand and looked around. When he didn't find Nilta, Tao Xi squatted in the newsstand and buried his head in sorting his money while asking: "Is your brother not here?" ?"

"No, he's not here. He went to the US-US-Australia Paper Company for an interview early this morning~"

"Oh, it's finally time for snacks." Tao Xi nodded in satisfaction when he heard Nelson's answer. After Tao Xi sorted the money into three parts, he saw a dilapidated backpack in the newsstand and asked, "Hey, that backpack Do you still want?"

Hearing Tao Xi's words, Nelson turned his head and glanced at a large pile of old newspapers and hot dog kraft bags piled up in the corner and shook his head: "It's all Anthony's, and some of it is garbage, I need to wait until the garbage truck from the street comes You have to throw them away, or you will be fined."

Nelson finally stopped stuttering, but Tao Xi didn't want to explain, because the people who live in the sewers don't have a good reputation on the street, and these honest people need to be slowly accepted by Nelson~
But I have to say that Nelson's hot dogs are really delicious~
Tao Xi, who was swallowing and filling the money, finally put all the money behind the backpack. Tao Xi sat in the Baoting and asked, "Aren't you going to order a batch of newspapers and magazines?"

When it came to business, Nelson was so happy that he even forgot about Tao Xi's background.

"Sell, sell, thank you for the extra $1000 you left me yesterday. If it weren't for the $1000, I might not have enough money to order newspapers for the postman this morning. They will come to me on time tomorrow morning to collect all the expired newspapers. .”

"The outdated newspapers here will definitely be updated as well."

Tao Xi nodded in agreement when he heard Nelson's words, because this is his ideal person to do business, and he can live in this rotten place in the United States without stressing about hardship or tiredness.

The hot dog was ready soon, but Nelson was very thoughtful and prepared a steaming towel for Tao Xi to signal him to wipe his mouth, but Nelson's business came soon, Tao Xi didn't care and sat in the newsstand Looking at magazines inside.

When Tao Xi saw a copy of [Instructions for Choosing Schools for High School Students in the United States], Tao Xi became interested~
There are many magazines like this in California, and the fees are not cheap. In the past, Tao Xi could only read them on the newsstand, but now he has a friend who is the owner of the newsstand, and Tao Xi can read them for free!

“Harvard Westlake High School~”

“Harvard Westlake High School~”

“Harvard Westlake High School~”

"Oh! Shit!" Just when Tao Xi was about to search for Harvard West Lake High School according to the alphabetical index, Tao Xi actually saw the introduction of this school on the color pages of the first few pages of the magazine~
I don't know this, I was shocked when I saw it!
Because the money in Tao Xi's hand is not enough to cover the school's annual expenses~
The introduction is very clear~
When the school was first built, it was located near West Lake Park in Los Angeles, hence the name West Lake School. In 1989, the boards of directors of Harvard School and West Lake School formally passed a meeting and decided to merge the two schools.

The school is currently divided into two campuses, one is the middle school located on Nanfashun Road, mainly for grades 7-9, and the other is the high school for grades 10-12 located in Lengshuigu.

Student $17200/semester, (including tuition fee, book fee, daily transportation fee, 10-month homestay fee, 10-month medical insurance fee, activity fee, application fee, registration fee, annual fee, sports fee, school bus fee, etc. Wait).

Seeing these numbers, Tao Xi couldn't help but feel his lips dry~
But when Tao Xi saw that payment in installments is allowed on this website, Tao Xi still let out a sigh of relief~
Tuition fees of $8600 for a single semester left $1900 in Tao Xi’s pocket~
"Hey! It's not easy to earn money, but spend it quickly!"

"Tausi! What are you talking about?" Nelson's ears are very sharp, he can't hear anything else, but he can hear everything that has anything to do with money.

Tao Xi collapsed on the ground of the newsstand and waved his hands weakly: "It's okay, leave me alone, I'll rest for a while, call me again in the afternoon, I suddenly don't worry that my money will be stolen."

Nelson glanced at the tattered backpack held by Tao Xi on his chest, and immediately retracted his eyes, because Nilta had already told his brother all the ins and outs of the incident last night!

You can't look at the money of the members of the blood gang, especially Tao Xi, a member of the blood gang who came out of the sewer!
But soon Nelson's thoughts were all attracted by the customers who came to buy his hot dogs~
When Tao Xi woke up, he woke up by himself. He didn't know when he was covered with the work clothes of the United States and Australia Paper Industry.

Nilta, who was squatting at the door and smoking a cigarette, saw Taoxi wake up and offered him a glass of water: "I went to work, and my salary is half the price of others."

"Google" "Google" "Google"

Tao Xi, who finished drinking the mineral water in his hand, couldn't help but licked his lips and felt that this mineral water was sweeter than the water he took from the sewer tap.

"Persevere, persevere, your hard work has paid off. When everything is over, you can help your brother deal with this hot dog stand." Tao Xi stood up from the slightly crowded newsstand unsteadily. First, he put the tattered backpack on his chest and waved his hand towards a taxi opposite the news stand.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to spend some money, and I'll see my brother by the way!" Tao Xi glanced at Nilta, who was still squatting on the curb behind him, and explained with some embarrassment.

Nilta just nodded and didn't speak again, but Tao Xi could still see that Nilta was still sorry for what happened yesterday.
