Tang Dao smoked a cigarette, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at the homeless man sitting next to him swallowing biscuits, the crumbs fell from the corners of his mouth, and they fell all over the car, and the puppy in his arms lowered his head and licked (anti-harmony), and the master and servant seemed to be gobbling up without others.

"Ahem, cough, cough..."

Maybe he ate too fast, he choked accidentally, covered his throat and eyes, his face turned red, and handed over a bottle of mineral water next to him, and the homeless man took it, "Thank you." "I looked up and dried half a bottle.

"Can you tell me your name instead? Mr. Tang Dao sat up straight and hooked the little yellow dog's head with his hand, the latter seemed to know that this was a "good person", and stuck out his tongue very affectionately.

The homeless man hesitated and whispered, "Alexander Pearce." ”

"Huh?" Tang Dao always felt that this name was so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, nodded and motioned for the other party to continue.

Alexander seemed to have a hard time speaking, lowered his head, touched the puppy's head, and was in a gloomy mood, "I once served in the U.S. Army for 17 years, with the rank of sergeant, belonging to the 82nd Brigade of the 3rd Airborne Division, participated in the YN War, and fought there for three years. ”

Vietnam veteran?

Tang Dao suddenly realized!

He finally knew why the other party was so miserable.

At that time, after the outbreak of the war, there was a strong anti-war ideology in American society, and anti-Vietnam War and anti-veterans had become a kind of political correctness in American society, and many politicians would take them out and whip them when necessary, calling them executioners, and those veterans who participated in the war to protect the interests of the United States became the object of public accusation after returning.

They are also pushed out by politicians!

This also led to the extreme rejection of these veterans in American society, it was difficult to find work, many were bankrupt, and suffered from severe post-war anxiety, self-destruction! Many veterans with great psychological ups and downs even join local gangs and live on it.

And Alexander. Pierce is just one of them.

"And what about your wife, sir?" Robert, who was sitting in the front, opened his mouth to ask, as soon as he said it, he wanted to slap himself, isn't this nonsense, it's all mixed up like this, how can he still be with him?

Sure enough, Alexander's eyes darkened, and the big man actually covered his face and cried bitterly, crying heartbreakingly, the puppy on his lap seemed to be startled, and then he patted the other party's wrist with his paws full of worry, as if to say, "I... Wander with you. ”

Tang Dao was not qualified to persuade him to look forward.

Do you know what pain people have gone through, so do you persuade them to look forward?

He handed over a cigarette and said casually, "Those sons of bitches politicians only care about their own votes, and they may still be holding women in their rooms and laughing at you, and look, these poor homeless people, you know?" They were once American heroes! They have participated in wars, but God, they have killed people, they are executioners, how can such people be condemned. Tang Dao learned this vividly, shrugged his shoulders and scolded, he also has no good sense of the US government.

In a disgustingly rotten country of the rich, controlled by corporations, the so-called freedom is nothing more than a rendering under the dollar, who has seen the dry bones under San Francisco? Tang Dao saw that the other party didn't smoke, so he took the cigarette case back, and his tone was full of demagogy, "You have to be covered with US dollars, and the politicians who gave up on you will kneel down and let you smoke him, sir, no one can afford to be poor." ”

The pressure was so great that he restrained his emotions, the muscles in his arm tightened, he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red, and he looked at Tang Dao, "Sir, please give me a job." ”

Tang Dao took a puff of cigarette, both cheeks were agitating, squinting, and after the cigarette was finished, he opened the window and threw it away, and the sparse heavy rain outside instantly extinguished the flames, and the rear wheel of the car was pressed, and a sentence was written on the side of the road: "Don't litter".

"My business will kill people." After waiting for about a few minutes, Tang Dao spoke, looking directly at Alexander with his eyes, and smiled deeply, "Moreover, you will die anytime and anywhere!" ”

The latter frowned, and muttered a few words in his heart, he probably had some direction.

Could it be a mercenary?

Alexander had the idea too, but he didn't even have a ticket to fly there...

"Do you want to think about it? It's better to be a homeless man than to die somewhere on earth and be treated like feces by wild beasts. Tang Dao arched his fingers and flicked the cigarette ash off his pants, and said to Robert, "Find a place to park in front." ”

Rob nodded in response.

"I'm joining." Alexander looked struggling, suddenly raised his head, his face was deeply unwilling, he was destined to be a bum? And those who are high up and above eat abalone every day?

Tang Dao's face raised, he didn't have to Alexander, he just wanted to make a gesture of buying horse bones, you know, now many veterans are only in their 40s, this physical fitness may decline a lot, but in modern small-scale wars, experience is more important than physical fitness, these people, if they train, maybe they will rejuvenate the old tree?

If there is no benefit, will Tang Dao do it?

He is a highly educated talent, and although he has dropped out, he is not a fool who can be admitted to Stanford University.

If you are not afraid of hooligans being ruthless, you are afraid that hooligans will understand the law.

"You follow Jin Dun first, shave the hair on your face, I don't want to take a King Kong, your salary is 4,500 US dollars a month, which is considered an internship period, and when you become a regular, you will be given a salary increase." Tang Dao patted the silent Jeffrey of the front co-pilot, who looked at the sloppy Alexander from the rearview mirror, he really wanted to refuse this kind of work, he has been retired for so long, and muscle memory may have long been forgotten, is there still value in cultivating such a person?

But the boss told him, and he could only agree.

Alexander could feel the contempt in the other man's eyes, but he didn't care.

$4,500?

What is the salary during the internship period?

He finally couldn't hold back his crying again, and wanted to reach out his hand, but he felt that his hand was dirty, and he thanked him vigorously.

……

When he returned to the hotel, Tang Dao opened a presidential suite, he would not save in this regard, all the employees' rooms are like this, when the boss has to have the courage to be the boss, a few days is only the price of a BTR-152 armored personnel transporter.

The old Soviet man still has a lot of dollars lying there.

Pressure Shan Da rolled up the bath towel and shaved his beard in the mirror, and saw a very resolute face on it, deep and melancholy eyes, a high nose bridge, exuding a tough guy smell all over his body, and there was a cross around his neck, and there was a very small photo inlaid in the middle, Pressure Mountain was holding a blonde girl in his right hand and a boy biting a pacifier in his left hand, grinning, looking silly, but very happy.

And on the side of the cross is inscribed the words: "God's witness, we are happy." ”

Alexander kissed the picture deeply.

Woohoo...

The puppy in the bath barked loudly and sucked his gaze, Alexander wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, smiled, and finally smiled on his face, picked up the dog from the bath, kissed it, and said, "God is partial to me, and he has made me have a family again, my dear." ”

The puppy stuck out his tongue and pulled it on his forehead and curled the corners of his eyes.

It's also very happy.
