A dilapidated wooden house, a field of wheat, and a dilapidated pickup truck in the yard are the destinations of the trip—the home of Vivien and her brother Tiger.

With Vivien's skills, she and her brother were living in such poverty, which was also something that surprised Ling Xiao. But when he saw her brother Tiger, he understood why.

Tiger sat in a wheelchair, holding an American-made M4 rifle in his hand, vigilantly looking at Ling Xiao who knocked on his door, and Vivien in Ling Xiao's arms. Behind Tiger, there was a medicine cabinet in the humble living room, which was full of medicines.

This seems to be the reason why Vivien and Tiger live in poverty, a lame brother with post-war syndrome, and a younger sister who steals for a living, and the family's income is almost all converted into medicines and hospital treatments.

"Brother, put the gun down." Vivien said, "He saved me. ”

Tiger then put down the M4 rifle in his hand, "What's going on?" You...... What happened? ”

He didn't know Ling Xiao's identity, so he asked very vaguely, but from the look in his eyes, he already knew that Vivien's operation had failed.

"He's Ling Xiao." Vivien said.

Tiger suddenly picked up the gun again, pointed the muzzle at Ling Xiao, and said nervously, "What's going on?" How could he be with you? How did you get hurt? ”

"Calm down!" Vivien said loudly, "The guy who came to you shot and killed Davis and wounded me, if it weren't for Ling Xiao, I would have died." ”

"Davis is dead?" Tiger looked surprised.

Vivien recounted what had happened.

Knowing that it was Ling Xiao's surgery on Vivian that saved her, the hostility in Davis's eyes disappeared.

Only then did Ling Xiao say aloud: "You calm down, be careful of that thing going off." Can I get in? Your sister needs to lie down in bed and rest, she's so heavy that I can't hold her anymore. ”

Tiger placed the M4 rifle on his lap again, then turned his wheelchair with both hands and retreated through the doorway.

Ling Xiao walked in with Vivien in his arms, and with her guidance, he carried her to her room and put her on the bed.

Vivien's room was rudimentary, with clothes, a table and a wardrobe, and a pictorial newspaper full of violent elements posted on the wall. These pictorials full of violent elements are very similar to her fiery personality.

Tiger also pushed his wheelchair into Vivien's room, he didn't put down the M4 rifle, he still maintained a certain amount of vigilance and vigilance against Ling Xiao.

"You can go." When Ling Xiao put Vivien on the bed, Tiger said aloud.

Ling Xiao smiled, "I took a big risk to save your sister and didn't call the police to arrest her, and I also gave her a very precious medicine...... Do you want me to leave like this? ”

"And what do you want?" Tiger's voice is cold, and the temperament and personality of the brother and sister are really similar.

Vivien interjected, "He wants the cost of the operation." ”

Tiger frowned, then pulled out a tightly worn leather bag and pulled out a few crumpled coins from it, "I only have sixty-seven pieces, all for you." If you don't think it's enough, I'll give you some later when I have the money. ”

Looking at the few crumpled coins in his hand, Ling Xiao really had the urge to snatch his money and stuff it into his mouth. Sixty-seven pounds is not enough for his labor costs, not to mention that precious rebirth pill!

"Brother, he wants to know the identity of that person." "That's what he wants," Vivien said. ”

Ling Xiao nodded, "Sue me, I'll leave immediately." ”

"I haven't met him, and I don't know who he is," Tiger said. ”

Ling Xiao looked into his eyes, "Then how did you contact him?" ”

"He called me, and he asked me to help him steal a small metal box from you, and he promised to give me a million pounds, and a cure for me, and I agreed." Tiger explained things very simply, but very clearly and clearly.

"It's as simple as that? A phone call from the other party, and you promise to help him do things? Ling Xiao remembered the old saying again, poor people must have something to hate.

Tiger hung his head, chagrin and shame written on his face.

Vivien said, "Do we have a choice? We are in such an environment, my brother's condition has become more and more serious, and the doctor said that if it continues to develop, his legs will be sawed off. Suddenly, someone said that there is a special medicine for this disease, but if you are in our position, will you do it? We are poor, you are rich, your big boss, money is just a string of numbers to you, but for us it is a survival and life-saving thing! ”

Indeed, the temptation of a million pounds and a cure-all was an irresistible temptation for Tiger and Vivien.

It seems that this trip has been in vain.

Ling Xiao looked at Vivian a little depressed, then at Tiger, and was silent for a while before saying, "I advise you to call the police and let the police intervene, otherwise, you will be in danger." That man had already killed Davis, and he certainly wouldn't mind killing you again. ”

"Is that your idea?" Vivien said sarcastically.

"You can also get out of here and go where that person can't find it." Ling Xiao said.

"This is our home, and we're not going anywhere." Tiger said, "If that guy comes, I'll kill him." I can't walk on my legs, but my marksmanship is good. In Afghanistan, I was able to break out of the encirclement from more than 100 militants, and I didn't rely on one lip service. ”

Ling Xiao heard the voiceover of Tango, and Tiger was saying that he was a man who could only talk and not do. Such words made people uncomfortable to hear, but Ling Xiao didn't want to worry about him, he said, "Okay, whatever you want, see you two again." ”

"Wait!" Vivien shouted.

Ling Xiao said, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

"I ...... I ask you to see my brother. Vivien said, her eyes full of supplication.

"I'm sorry, although I am a doctor, I don't treat all patients." Ling Xiao said: "You set up a trap to steal my things, I didn't call the police, I also saved your life, I have done this kind of Cheng Dù is already benevolent and righteous, do you still expect me to do more for you?" ”

"Vivien, let him go!" Tiger's tone was stern, "Don't look for any more trouble!" ”

Annoyed Ling Xiao, he calls the police, and Vivien and Tiger will be in huge trouble.

"No, brother, you don't know, his medical skills are really amazing, I thought I was going to die, but he brought him back from the gates of hell with just a few arrays and a dagger. Let him show you, he's your only hope, don't you want to stand up? After saying that, Vivien looked at Ling Xiao again, and the meaning of supplication in her eyes became heavier.

Ling Xiao was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm sorry, I also have my principles. You have calculated me, and my heart is not so broad as to repay grievances with virtue. I'm gone, goodbye. ”

"What the hell are you going to do to treat my brother?"

"I'm sorry, you don't have what I want." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and left.

He was not short of money, he wanted to know the identity of that person, but Tiger and Vivien didn't know that there was no need for him to stay.

"Wait!" Vivien suddenly said, "We can do things for you." ”

Ling Xiao's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned to look at Vivien and Tiger in the wheelchair. Vivien's suggestion surprised him, and he smiled, "Why do you think I'm going to hire you two siblings?" ”

Vivien said, "That person's identity is unknown, he is a hidden danger in your heart, we can help you investigate." This is one reason. Another reason is that I'm very skilled, I can steal things for you, track, eavesdrop, I can do a lot of things. My brother is a sharpshooter, he has a lot of experience in actual combat, he can be your bodyguard. I know you don't even have a bodyguard on the British side, which doesn't suit your identity. You could be kidnapped for ransom or even assassination, do you want to face these threats alone? ”

The room was quiet again.

Vivien looked at Ling Xiao nervously, waiting for his reply.

Tiger's expression was complicated, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.

Ling Xiao thought a lot in his heart, he thought about both the refusal and the promise, what to do is the right thing, but he couldn't find the answer for a while. However, I have to admit that Vivian's mention made him a little moved, because he was really thinking about hiring a bodyguard these days, but the bodyguard provided by the security company could not meet his requirements, so he gave up.

In his opinion, Vivien is indeed a very capable girl, agile, and a professional thief, and it is simply easy to send her to install a bug or steal someone's criminal evidence or something in the future. As for Tiger, he is a sharpshooter and has a lot of actual combat experience, and it is indeed much more reassuring to have a bodyguard like him.

These are the strengths of the siblings Tiger and Vivian, but there is also a hidden danger, that is, are the brothers and sisters worthy of his trust? Raising two tigers to guard the home and nursing home can indeed scare off people with bad intentions, but there is also a risk of raising tigers, so what about the two brothers and sisters biting him in turn?

There are advantages and hidden dangers, which is the reason for Ling Xiao's hesitation.

"You ......," Tiger said to break the oppressive silence, his voice a little hoarse, "you can't trust us?" ”

Ling Xiao said lightly: "This is normal, isn't it?" ”

Tiger kept his mouth shut again, if it were him, he wouldn't trust the person who stole his things.

Vivien said, "As long as you can cure my brother, I'll do anything for you." You don't believe me now, I understand. It doesn't matter, I can tell you all the things I did, and if you hold on to me, you won't be afraid that I will betray you. ”

"Vivien, what are you doing?" Tiger said angrily: "Don't you think we are unlucky enough today, not ashamed enough? You give me a shot, I've had enough! He literally threw the M4 rifle resting on his lap onto the bed.

Vivien's eyes were filled with water, but she held back her tears and didn't let the tears flow.

The time spent with Vivien and Tiger was very short, but Ling Xiao had already seen that the brother and sister who depended on each other had a good relationship and were willing to do anything for each other. From this point, it is not difficult to see that this brother and sister, who are full of danger, are actually people who value love and righteousness.

"Well, I promise you." Ling Xiao had already thought about it, "I'll give you a one-month probationary period, and if I think you're suitable for this month, I'll keep you by my side, and if I don't think it's suitable, you can leave." Tiger, during this time, I will treat your leg, but I can't guarantee that it will cure you. ”

Tiger's lips twitched, "Thank you, though, you won't regret it." ”
