Section 16 Before the Robbery [I]

Kelly. Sheriff Johnson's reaction speed was much slower than Qin Lang expected. After escorting the Jackson brothers back to the police station www.biquge.info, he first forced the four unlucky bastards to hand over half of their illegal gains, then took his subordinates to the bar for half a night, and then returned home and slept until noon the next day, and finally remembered that he should count how much money Qin Lang had given him......

It was only then that he realized that what had been put in his pocket were only a few "counterfeit bills" full of errors; And when he rushed into the police station and angrily demanded an arrest warrant, Qin Lang had already driven his truck to the outskirts of San Francisco.

This journey surprised Yi Shui.

For the first time, this reckless young man, who had come to the United States on a runaway in the hope of learning to sail, discovered for the first time that something could run so fast on land—the last time, and the first time, he had traveled more than 400 miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles for three full days, and this time it took only seven hours......

"Surprised?" Qin Lang could see the surprise in his eyes, the same thing he had seen many times in the eyes of O'Connor and Duncan.

"Hmm." Yi Shui nodded slightly, and then cold sweat appeared on his forehead. His injuries were actually quite severe, and now the slightest movement became a form of torture.

"You'd better lie still." Qin Lang gave him a warning look, then turned his head and continued to wipe his automatic rifle. O'Connor had already gone to the city to investigate the situation, and he was going to start acting as soon as he returned, and Qin Lang didn't want to leave himself unprepared.

And this is something that Yi Shui feels incomprehensible - he already knows the plan of his three life-savers. He really couldn't imagine that a person like Qin Lang would be a robber who killed people and sold goods; No matter how you look at it, he doesn't match what he remembers the robber.

"Why did you rob that merchant?"

"Because I don't have any money." Very crisp answer.

But easy water is not acceptable. "Do you want to be a robber if you don't have money?" His voice raised a bit.

"What else else?" Qin Lang asked rhetorically, but he didn't need Yi Shui to answer, "Between starving to death and being a robber, I can only choose the one that is most beneficial to me." ”

"You can still go to work......"

"Are you asking me to do a mining coolie?" Qin Lang snorted, "Boy, I haven't gone crazy yet, I will do something that not only sells my labor to make others rich, but also becomes the object of hatred of a class." ”

Yi Shui was speechless. After living in the United States for a while, he has come to feel how strong the anti-Chinese atmosphere is in this country. Most of the Americans he spoke to were Chinese-hating, and he still couldn't explain the phenomenon. "I don't understand why Americans hate us Chinese and we haven't done anything wrong......"

"Didn't you?" Qin Lang stopped wiping his gun and looked back at him seriously, "Many Americans think that the Chinese have robbed them of their job opportunities and affected their normal lives, so of course they will reject and drive away the Chinese. And for those who can't be driven away, they will enact strict laws to control them, and even use force to remove ......"

"Hell, Qin, how could you believe those inexplicable remarks?" Duncan, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up and strongly condemned Qin Lang's remarks just now, "Americans will reject the Chinese because they cannot understand the fundamental reason why the capitalists fired them for hiring Chinese laborers, and at the same time they are bewitched by the capitalists who are afraid that the workers will gain more rights......

"You're an idiot, Duncan."

"What!"

"You understand these truths, and I understand them, but do ordinary Americans understand them? Or you can try to let them figure it out......" Qin Lang suddenly realized a problem, "Hell, Duncan!" You're Robert. Owen's followers are still—"

"My grandfather and father were Irving's devotees, but I was educated in this area from a young age, so I can count half." Duncan looked a little proud.

"I can see it."

Qin Lang could see it, but Yi Shui didn't know what they were talking about at all. "What exactly did you just say?"

"Nothing." Qin Lang didn't want to discuss this issue too much, and he resumed his work of wiping the gun—but before starting his work, he suggested Duncan: "Maybe you can help him figure out the problems we just talked about, if you will." ”

But Duncan was unwilling. "Forget it, Qin, it's impossible for this compatriot of yours to understand what we're saying. He may not even know what a capitalist and a worker are. ”

"And you're only half-toned." Qin Lang sneered.

"You ......" Duncan originally planned to ridicule him, if it was O'Connor, he would not hesitate to do so, but he was facing Qin Lang now, so he had to give up. Whatever you say, Qin, I won't bother with you. He snorted twice and went back to sleep.

Therefore, the only one who can answer the question of Yi Shui is Qin Lang. "Brother Qin, what are you talking about? Also, why do Americans hate us Chinese? ”

Qin Lang had to stop his work again. "There are two things. First of all, don't call me Brother Qin, I'm not used to this kind of title, you can just call me by my name, or call me Qin; Secondly, I have already answered your question. ”

His answer made Yi Shui look confused. "You mean...... Americans hate us because we Chinese have taken away their jobs? But just now Mr. Sandy said that this view is not correct......"

"It's not true, but the general public has always been short-sighted." Especially the Americans, Qin Lang secretly commented, but still did not express his thoughts, "They can't see the essence of the problem, and can only blame the mistake on the surface." In the United States, there is a terrible reality that politicians, in order to get votes, have to go along with the views of the majority of the people, and urge the government to use the power of the law to meet the demands of the people to exclude Chinese...... Of course, this question is a bit more complicated for you. He shrugged, "At the very least, you have to learn what American-style democracy is." ”

"There's a lot to learn ......"

"That's right." After a while, Qin Lang felt that the conversation was over, so he began to wipe his automatic rifle again. However, Yi Shui, an excellent student who was working hard to learn various knowledge, refused to give him a chance.

"Qin ...... Long," hesitated for a moment, but he called his name anyway, "where exactly are you talking about the dialect?" ”

"What?"

"You speak like Beijing, but if you listen closely, it doesn't."

"I'm talking about ......" Qin Lang spoke Mandarin, of course, but he found it difficult to explain, and then he suddenly realized that Yi Shui had been speaking neither Cantonese nor Hokkien - otherwise he wouldn't have understood at all - but ...... Sichuan dialect? "Are you from Sichuan?"

"Hmm."

"You came to the United States from Sichuan to learn sailing?" Qin Lang was really about to faint. A native of Sichuan, who went to the United States to learn sailing, and still ran away from home...... How could he never have heard of anything like this?

This is an exaggeration.

"You think it's weird?"

"I just think it'......" Qin Lang didn't say his sigh. Just then, the door was pulled open, and O'Connor climbed into the cab.

"Everything is clear, we can do it tonight."

Qin Lang's mood regained his calm in an instant. "Good." He said, and began to continue wiping the automatic rifle.
