No regrets ninety-two

Chapter 785 Unexpected Results

Live the poorest life in the richest city in the world.

This is Lin Kun's description of Harlem.

According to him, only about 40% of the residents here have serious jobs, and more than 40% have no public income. Therefore, a considerable number of black and Hispanic boys and girls can only wander on the streets.

Therefore, Harlem is known as one of the birthplaces of street culture.

In this day and age, that's not a good assessment.

As soon as they entered Harlem, Wu Xiaozheng and Ma Li felt the difference here.

On the originally not-so-wide street, bursts of deafening music came from all directions.

This is the most popular rap music in Harlem.

But the problem is that there is a sound source every three to five meters, which is very noisy.

On both sides of the street, black guys in twos and threes, as well as Latin American descendants gathered together, chatting lazily.

The Lincoln car that Wu Xiaozheng and the others were sitting in seemed a little eye-catching. From time to time, someone turned their heads to look at them and stared at them with indifferent eyes.

“Here, 50% are Puerto Ricans, 40% are blacks, and 10% are Asians and so on. Basically, there are very few whites here. No matter how people treat you, don't pay attention to them, and don't look back."

Lin Kun emphasized the precautions again.

In fact, as the car passed slowly, because the window was open, Ma Li, who was sitting in the back seat, had aroused the curiosity of some black guys, and there were whistles and screams from time to time.

This is not a friendly behavior.

In his previous life, Wu Xiaozheng heard that since the 70s, Harlem has been the most chaotic place in New York. It was not until the end of the 90s, when the US government took strong improvement measures, that the law and order here improved.

It is said that this is a high incidence of robbery, dupin and homicide.

Now he was beginning to feel the vibe.

He couldn't help thinking, how dare Ma Li's classmate, as a girl, live in such an environment?

He couldn't help asking Ma Li: "If you come here to study abroad, would you dare to live in this kind of place?"

Ma Li turned her head to look at the unfriendly eyes on both sides of the street, and shook her head resolutely.

Mary is a little scared now.

Not to mention being in this kind of place, even on the streets of Changshi, when she faced street gangsters like Brother Da Mi and Xiaomi, she had a strong sense of fear.

How dare she come to live in this kind of place?
Fortunately, Wu Xiaozheng was with her, otherwise she wouldn't dare to come to this kind of place.

"I started to admire Zhang Wenli a little bit. I don't know how she dares to live in such a place."

Zhang Wenli is Ma Li's classmate. It is said that they were good girlfriends when they were in college.

"Uncle, wait a moment, I'll ask someone for directions."

It seems that even Lin Kun, who is familiar with Harlem, is not familiar with the address Ma Li provided.

He stopped the car on the side of the street and waved to a black guy standing outside a bar: "Hey, brother, come here."

"Fuck, yellow-skinned kid, you drive a nice car, what's the matter?"

The black boy came over and asked Lin Kun.

From his tone, Wu Xiaozheng couldn't hear any friendliness, nor could he hear obvious malice.

However, the most common vulgar language in movies entered his ears first.

Perhaps people living in this area are very popular in dealing with people in this vulgar way.

Lin Kun ignored the black guy's rudeness, but directly handed the note in front of him: "Do you know this place?"

The black boy glanced at the note.

"There is no place in Harlem that I, Caesar, don't know, but if you want me to help you, you have to give me ten dollars, otherwise, you will disappear from my sight!"

He had long heard that blacks in this era were not friendly to Asians, but Wu Xiaozheng still did not expect that this black guy named Caesar would speak so rudely and vulgarly.

This is very different from the black people in his impression.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that when Caesar was talking to Lin Kun, his eyes were unscrupulously swept towards Ma Li who was sitting in the back seat.

"Promise him and let him lead the way." Wu Xiaozheng suppressed the unhappiness in his heart.

"make a deal."

Lin Kun obeyed Wu Xiaozheng's instructions and agreed to Caesar's conditions.

Caesar grinned, trying to get into the passenger seat on the other side.

"No, you go ahead and lead the way." Lin Kun said coldly.

"Shit!"

A foul word came out of Caesar's mouth again, and then turned around in front very unwillingly.

The place where Mary was going was not far away. After turning two corners, Caesar stopped in front of a small alley.

"Hey, the car can't go in. If you want to find this place, you have to follow me."

This is an alley that can only accommodate two or three people walking side by side.

"Uncle Master, Miss Ma, it looks like we have to get out of the car and walk for a while."

Lin Kun parked the car in front of a store.

Since it was still daytime, he wasn't too worried that the car would be smashed.

Wu Xiaozheng took Ma Li out of the car and began to follow Caesar inside.

This is a somewhat dark and deserted alley, and the buildings along the alley are almost close together.

Wu Xiaozheng has only seen such an environment in handshake buildings in some urban villages in Guangdong Province.

To put it bluntly, the environment in this kind of place is worse than the village in the city where Wu Xiaozheng lived in his previous life.

"It seems that your classmate's life in New York is not very good!"

Wu Xiaozheng couldn't help but make a joke.

Ma Li didn't reply, but hugged Wu Xiaozheng's arm a little nervously.

This was because Caesar, who was leading the way, would glance back at her from time to time.

After turning around and turning around, Caesar stopped.

"The place you are looking for is here, give me the money!"

After Wu Xiaozheng checked the address, he took out ten dollars from his pocket and gave it to the rude guy.

After watching him leave, he took Ma Li up to the third floor.

After knocking on the door of the address that Ma Li had brought, a fat Latina woman appeared at the door.

"Who are you looking for?" The fat woman spoke English with a severe accent.

"Excuse me, does Zhang Wenli live here?"

"Zhang? Not here!"

The fat woman looks impatient.

Ma Li put a note on the ground: "But the address she left for me is here."

"She and my son have already broken up and moved away long ago."

The fat woman slammed the door shut.

Mary was immediately stunned.

The son of Zhang Wenli and this fat Latin woman?Then broke up again?

She actually found a dark-skinned foreigner?

In just a few short conversations, the amount of hidden information is really a bit large, and it is a bit beyond Ma Li's imagination.

She couldn't help but glance at Wu Xiaozheng, for fear that this matter would arouse his disgust.

Wu Xiaozheng smiled.

For such a thing, he is not surprised.

In fact, many women who came out in this era are married to foreigners. The difference is that some are white-skinned and some are dark-skinned.

"It seems that it is a bit difficult to find your classmate. Unless you know where she goes to school."

"Forget it, I don't want to look for it anymore."

Mary was a little disappointed.

For a long time, Zhang Wenli was her guiding light and the object of her envy. She always hoped to come out like Zhang Wenli.

But now with this result, she lost all interest in continuing to look for it.

Even if you find her, maybe it will be embarrassing to meet her.
