At this dinner, because of their heart-to-heart relationship, the relationship between Zongheng and Hannah became closer again. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If the previous relationship between the two was still a friend or above, and the lovers were not yet in a ** relationship, then after this meal, at least from Hannah's point of view, they have become lovers.

After settling the bill, the two walked out of the hotel arm in arm. If it weren't for the fear that the action would be too exaggerated and cause trouble, Hannah would have hung up on Zongheng with his whole body.

There was still some time before the movie began to be shown, and the two slowly hid in the street. Although they didn't have much to say, they also enjoyed the feeling of being in touch with each other.

It's a pity that this warm and romantic feeling was quickly broken by an unexpected situation.

While waiting for a green light at an intersection, an Asian woman carrying a large bag suddenly slipped through the crowd waiting to cross the street, not caring that it was a red light, and walked straight across the road.

It happened that there were two patrolmen standing across the street, and when they saw her like this, the patrolmen immediately made a stop gesture and shouted, "Hey! Stop it! Get back! ”

I don't know if I couldn't understand English, or for some other reason, the woman ignored the police's warnings, and still walked gracefully across the street, so that the cars that were about to drive through the cross street according to the green light rule came to a sharp stop, and the horn sounded.

"Hehe, this must be a Chinese." Not far away, a tall, fat old white man suddenly said.

This kind of discussion made Zongheng feel uncomfortable. How can you be so sure that woman must be Chinese? Have you ever been to China?

Before Zongheng could raise questions, someone in the crowd blocked by the red light on this side of the street was the first to ask, "How do you know?" ”

The old man shook his fat chin and belly and said happily: "I have been to China, and I have seen a lot of people like this." You see, she's going to have a fight with the police later. ”

As the old man predicted, as soon as the woman who ran the red light reached the opposite side of the road, she was stopped by two patrol officers. At first, the woman wanted to ignore the police and walk away on her own. But where are the police willing to let her go? I just stopped her from leaving. One of the policemen even pulled a ticket out of his pocket and was ready to fine the woman. When the woman saw that she couldn't leave, she immediately shouted excitedly.

Even across a wide road, Zongheng and the others could still hear her sharp and ugly voice.

Sure enough, it was Mandarin. Sure enough, it's a Chinese.

Zongheng suddenly felt a fever on his face, and he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into. He cautiously observed the expressions of the people around him, and saw that no one looked at him strangely, and only then did he relax slightly.

Listening to the foul language coming from across the road, Zong Zong couldn't help but be a little happy: "Fortunately, that shrew spoke Mandarin, which most Americans can't understand." I'm really ashamed to be in the company of such people. ”

Thinking so, the red light at the pedestrian crossing flashed twice and then turned green. The people around him began to move. Zongheng also took Hannah and walked across the road.

The quarrel across the street continues. No! To be precise, it's not a quarrel, it's just a woman scolding the street.

Hannah said worriedly, "Shall we help her?" ”

"Help her? How can it help? Zongheng said angrily.

He knew that in the United States, these patrolmen had considerable law enforcement powers. He couldn't really think of how he could help her. Help her say good things? It's useless! Do you want to help her pay the fine? Bah! Zongheng thinks that this kind of shrew is undisciplined, and it's good to watch her be beaten! Where would be kind enough to pay the fine for her?

Hannah said: "The police do not understand Chinese, and the woman does not seem to speak English, and the communication between the two sides is not smooth, and there will inevitably be misunderstandings." Maybe we should do a translation for them. ”

Thinking about it, I think there is some truth. But he really didn't want to talk to a shrew, so he took the matter back and said, "If you want to help, you can help, what I hate the most is this kind of shrew who can only scold the street." If you want me to say, this kind of person is not beaten. If I were to be a police officer, I would just knock her over with a stick and cuff her. ”

Seeing the resentment on his face, Hannah sneered.

As they spoke, the two had already crossed the street and came to the side of the woman and the policeman.

It's human nature to love to see excitement, not only in Chinese, but also in Americans. It's just that the Americans know the truth of self-preservation, and they never stand on the left and close to the sides of the dispute to watch, but stand from a distance and watch, so as not to be affected by the pond fish in case of a clash such as a shootout.

Therefore, seeing Zongheng and Hannah approaching, the police immediately became vigilant. One of the policemen held the handle of the gun at his waist and shouted, "Stop! Who are you? What do you want to do? ”

Hannah raised her hand slightly, showed the empty palm to the police, and said, "Mr. Officer." I speak Chinese and would like to translate for you. ”

The policeman's face softened slightly, but he still asked, "Who is next to you?" ”

"This is my brother. We are all Chinese. Hannah pointed to her eyeballs and told the police to take notice.

The policeman was a little puzzled at first, until he saw Hannah's dark and star-bright eyes, and then he suddenly realized and hurriedly said, "Oh! Thank you so much! Come on! ”

As they approached the woman, they saw her glaring at them angrily.

This is a middle-aged woman with a short figure, her face is full of horizontal meat, and she is angry and lives like a soft-shelled turtle standing up.

Seeing Zongheng and Hannah approaching, the "soft-shelled turtle" shouted very vigilantly: "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”

"Hey! My name is Hannah. I speak Chinese and I want to help you. Hannah cautiously approached her as she introduced herself in Mandarin.

"How can I help?" The "soft-shelled turtle" stared suspiciously at Hannah and the vertical and horizontal beside her.

"I see that there is some misunderstanding between you and the police because of the language barrier. I'll help you translate. ”

Hannah thought that the "soft-shelled turtle" would be more cooperative. But I didn't expect this "soft-shelled turtle" to know if the braincase was broken, but she didn't appreciate it, she shouted: "You are a foreign devil!" I don't believe you! Don't come! ”

She turned to Zongheng and said, "Hey! You translate! ”

Zongheng was stunned by her self-assertive behavior, and couldn't help asking, "Why?" ”

"What, why?!" "Turtle" glared at two mung bean-sized eyes, "Aren't you Chinese?" Shouldn't the Chinese help each other? ”

The vertical and horizontal were delighted by the natural appearance of the "soft-shelled turtle". He said angrily, "Hey! You figure it out. It is illegal for you to run a red light, and Chinese should indeed help each other. However, this help does not include aiding in breaking the law. In addition, Hannah and I are both Chinese-Americans, not Chinese. ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the "soft-shelled turtle" suddenly glared from mung beans to the size of soybeans, and she viciously snorted a mouthful of thick phlegm and scolded: "I! It turned out to be two traitors who forgot their ancestors! ”

Although they couldn't understand what she was saying, when they saw the "soft-shelled turtle" spitting on the ground, the two policemen became excited again, took out another ticket, and prepared to continue the fine.

And Hannah and Zongheng were so angry by this "turtle" that they couldn't do it. Zongheng was very unhappy to see this "turtle", and when he saw that she actually did not distinguish between right and wrong, he immediately scolded: "Please don't die in the name of the Chinese!" If you run a red light or spit, it's all against the law. Now that you've been caught by the police, the police are going to give you a ticket. You'd better cooperate with the police, or they have the right to arrest you. ”

"How dare they?!" I don't know which word in this sentence stimulated the "soft-shelled turtle", which made her more and more excited.

She dropped the big bag in her hand, took out a fruit knife from it, and shouted, "Let them give the old lady a ticket?" Look at the old lady if she stabs them to death! That's how the old lady crosses the street in China! That's how it spits! What's wrong? Their roads in the United States are all made of gold, and they can't even spit?! ”

Seeing that the "soft-shelled turtle" was actually holding a weapon, Zongheng hurriedly pulled Hannah behind him, and the farther away from this crazy woman, the better. The two policemen also immediately took out their guns and pointed their guns at the "soft-shelled turtle", and at the same time told Hannah and Zongheng to quickly retreat.

Although she already understood that this "soft-shelled turtle" was unreasonable, Hannah still wanted to make one last effort, and she shouted: "Put the knife down!" Otherwise, they would have dared to shoot! ”

"How dare they?! My husband is the secretary of the county party committee! The family is full of people with status! If they dare to shoot, I will let the embassy sue them until they are laid off! Translate my words to them. "Even at this time, women are still arrogant to the extreme.

Zongheng finally understood where the crux of this "soft-shelled turtle" was so arrogant. It turned out to be an official's wife, no wonder she was so arrogant. The so-called secretary of the county party committee, in the eyes of Zongheng, the H county order is almost the same. Since the county order of G, it is known as "Baili Hou", and there is also the saying of "the county order of the broken family", presumably this "soft-shelled turtle" was originally used to relying on her husband's power as the emperor of the soil in China, even if he came to the United States, he still couldn't change his thinking.

"It's amazing! How bad does the domestic officialdom have to be for the husband of such a woman to climb to the high position of the county order? Zongheng thought to himself.

Now that he knows the true identity of the "soft-shelled turtle", Zongheng no longer wants to interfere. He pulled Hannah and said, "Let's go!" It's not a pity for such people to die. We don't care! ”

But Hannah's heart relented, and before leaving, she couldn't help but convey part of the woman's meaning to the police in English: "This woman is the wife of a low-ranking Chinese official, she claims to have connections in the embassy, and asks you to handle her case carefully." ”

Hearing this, the policeman was stunned for a moment, and then showed a contemptuous smile, as if to say: A mere low-level foreign official also wants to influence the judicial fairness of the United States? Think too much of yourself, right?

Incidentally, Hannah feels that she and Zongheng are also despised by the police.

With a hint of resentment towards the shameful compatriot of the "soft-shelled turtle", Hannah followed Zongheng and left the scene quickly.

Not long after they walked out, the two of them heard two consecutive gunshots behind them.

Looking back, I saw that the "soft-shelled turtle" had fallen to the ground. And in her hand, she still held the fruit knife rigidly.
