Chapter 107: Take Me Away
Without waiting for Gao Yang to answer, Mrs. John Smith thought of something, her eyes lit up, and then she said in surprise: "You are from Huaxia, is John's boss found?" ”
The strong man who was kicked down was still humming and chirping, and the onlookers pointed at Gao Yang, in this case, there was no way to speak, Gao Yang smiled at Mrs. John Smith and said, "Can we talk in a different place?" It's not very convenient here. ”
Mrs. John Smith nodded repeatedly, "Of course, please come with me." ”
After the young man who was rescued by Gao Yang glanced at Gao Yang suspiciously, he turned to the side of the girl, and said with a firm face: "Follow me, otherwise you will be killed, at least don't zaijian him until your father calms down." ”
The girl hesitated for a moment, but was obediently held by the boy's hand and stood up, and the boy said, "Wait a minute, I have to find my baseball." ”
After looking down at the ground a few times, the boy picked up a yellowed baseball from the ground, shoved it into his pocket, and immediately walked up to Mrs. John Smith and said, "Mom, let's go back." ”
Mrs. John Smith glanced worriedly at the strong man who was still lying on the ground, and then at the girl who was being pulled by the young man, sighed, and did not say anything, but after making a gesture of invitation, she took the lead and walked towards her house.
Mrs. John Smith and his son lived in a tin shed, which was divided into two rooms by a curtain, and although it was small, it was clean and tidy, and it was at least a home.
After asking Gao Yang and Yelena to sit down on the only two broken chairs, Mrs. John Smith said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, the family is very simple, may I ask you to find me?" ”
Gao Yang thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I am a friend of Mr. Smith, although I only said a few words to him, but he indirectly saved my life, yes, I was also a passenger on the plane that crashed, and I was sitting next to Mr. Smith at that time." ”
Mrs. John Smith covered her mouth in surprise and said dumbfounded: "My God, there are really survivors, you are the only one missing, I remember your father's name, he firmly believes that you are not dead, thank God, you really are not dead, oh God, your family must be very, very happy." ”
As she spoke, Mrs. John Smith's tears flowed, Gao Yang stood up, hugged her gently, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry to remind you of something sad, I came this time to return Mr. Smith's relics to you, when the plane crashed, I took the knife from him, and then Mr. Smith's knife saved me many times, I think I should return it to you, I'm sorry, I wanted to save Mr. Smith at that time, but he has already suffered misfortune." ”
Mrs. Smith nodded and sobbed, "I understand that his condition is unlikely to survive, thank you for trying to save him, but it is all God's will, sorry, I am a little out of shape." ”
Gao Yang took out the hunting knife from Yelena's bag, solemnly brought it to Mrs. Smith, and said, "I'm sorry, this knife left some traces for me to use, I hope you won't mind." ”
Mrs. Smith took the knife, took it out and looked at it, tears flowed down her eyes again, and she sobbed: "That's right, this is John's knife, he ordered it from a knifesmith in the United States, I'm glad that his knife helped you, really, I think John must be glad that his knife helped you survive." ”
Gao Yang nodded and said, "If it's convenient, I want to go to Mr. Smith's grave and say Xiexie to him personally." ”
Mrs. Smith sighed and said, "I'm sorry, but his burial place is in Osopia, and we don't have the money to bring his body back, and no one is willing to pay for us. ”
Although disappointed, Gao Yang was not too surprised, and looked at Mrs. Smith's situation and knew that she would not be able to transport a body from Ethiopia back to South Africa without someone else intervening.
Gao Yang took out all the dollars he brought, and said in a deep voice: "I can see that your current situation is not very good, this money is not much, please accept it first, I don't mean anything else, I just want to help Mr. Smith do something, and if you need any help, please feel free to mention it, I will try my best to help you." ”
Mrs. Smith looked at Gao Yang, shook her head, and said, "No, Xiexie, I can't take your money, I understand your kindness, but John is happy to help his friend, out of respect for him, I can't take your money, but I have to say Xiexie, you are a good man." ”
Gao Yang took the money and felt that it was not good to forcibly stuff it to Mrs. Smith, but he couldn't just take the money back, and if he didn't know, forget it, but seeing Mrs. Smith's bad situation with his own eyes, he really couldn't care about it.
While he was in a state of embarrassment, Mrs. Smith's son suddenly spoke, "Hello sir, my name is Fry, and this is my girlfriend, and her name is Ella. My mom and I appreciate your kindness, but some money doesn't change our situation, you look like a rich man, I take the liberty of asking you, can you give me a job? As long as I have a job, I can change my life and my mom, I can do anything, anything! ”
Frye looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and his girlfriend looked even younger, fifteen or sixteen, still immature, and dressed in shabby clothes, not very pretty, but not ugly, but a large bruise on her forehead made her look pitiful.
Gao Yang thought for a moment and sighed, "I'm sorry, I can't give you a job." ”
Frye looked disappointed, shook his head, sighed and stopped talking.
Gao Yang hesitated: "As a white person, shouldn't it be easy to find a job in South Africa?" I know your situation has changed a lot since the end of the Partition, but it shouldn't be difficult to find a job, right? ”
Mrs. Smith smiled bitterly: "John and I used to be employees of the South African government, he was a professor at the university, and I was a government officeworker, but John used to be a militiaman, and he was involved in the arrest of terrorists, so he was fired soon after the partition, and he couldn't find any work, and I couldn't find any work after I was fired, after John's death, we couldn't pay the rent anymore, so we had to move here, and now in South Africa, all job opportunities are in the hands of blacks, They wouldn't give Frye any position, and that's the case with the white people who live here, and we have no choice but to gather here and do odd jobs and beg for a living. ”
Frye said indignantly: "Those black people don't even know how to turn on a computer, but the government still only gives them jobs, they make a mess of this country, and if my dad had money, we would have left this country a long time ago." ”
Gao Yang sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I have no intention of discussing the policy of the South African government, but I can give you a sum of money to let you leave this country, as for the job, I can't provide it." ”
Frye looked at Gao Yang and said, "You look rich, can you tell me what you do?" ”
Gao Yang thought about it, and finally said, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you about this." ”
"Sir, I want to take my mom and my girlfriend out of here, as long as I can leave, wherever I want, I swear I'll pay you back." ”
Gao Yang immediately nodded and said, "There is no problem with this, I can give you as much money as you need, as long as I have it." ”
Mrs. Smith looked hesitant, but finally sighed, "Fry, you only have a junior high school education, you can't find a good job, and you have to take me and Ella, where can we go?" ”
After saying that, Mrs. Smith smiled apologetically at Gao Yang and said, "Thank you for your kindness, if you can, I hope you can sponsor Frye to leave, however, I can't ask for more, Ella and I can wait for him to make money before picking us up." ”
Frye was a little excited, and said, "Mom, if I leave, Ella will be beaten to death by her father, haven't you seen what happened to Ella today?" As long as I work hard, I will be able to feed you, and I will pay back to this gentleman. ”
After Frye finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, he smiled embarrassedly, and said to Gao Yang, "I'm sorry, my mother and I are so excited, we don't even know your name." ”
Gao Yang also smiled awkwardly, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell the truth.
"I'm sorry, my name is Gao Yang, but please don't mention to anyone that I have come to look for you, because I am in trouble in Huaxia, and you may deal with Huaxia people in the future, so please keep it a secret for me."
Fry's eyes lit up immediately, he looked at Gao Yang and said: "I understand, you have sinned, that's why you are so rich, sir, I don't care what you do, I can be your most helper, believe me, no matter what you do, please give me a job, swear in my father's name, I will be loyal to you!" ”
Mrs. Smith's face changed drastically, and she said sharply, "Fry, what are you talking about?" ”
Gao Yang said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, the work I do doesn't seem to be a crime, but maybe it's a crime, it depends on which country's law, and my work is very dangerous, okay, I'll tell you, I'm a mercenary." ”
Frye immediately said: "Mercenaries are not crimes, but they can make a lot of money, damn it, why didn't I think of it before, sir, please accept me, I can do everything for you!" ”
Mrs. Smith snapped: "Fry, you are only seventeen years old, what you should do is to find a job, the mercenary profession is not for you!" ”
Frye turned to his mother and spread out his hand, and said with a wry smile, "Mom, don't you know that I used to work for drug criminals?" Don't you know that I shot and killed two drug dealers who grabbed land for them? You know, they only gave me a thousand rand when I did this, just because I was white, because they knew I needed that thousand rand, and they dared to kill for a thousand rand, and you know that without that thousand rand, Ella would have died. Also, Ella's dad beat her again today, if you don't find a way to leave, Ella will die sooner or later, and you and me, that bastard won't let us go, so I think the mercenary profession is the most suitable for me. ”
Mrs. Smith finally couldn't help it anymore and hid her face and began to cry bitterly, while Ella hugged Frye and began to cry bitterly, Yelena sighed, looked at Gao Yang and said, "Maybe you should give him a chance." ”
