Jimmy has been working at the Stroo shotgun factory for 5 years, but he is still an apprentice. In five years, he has not been promoted, nor has he received a salary increase. Because his work was so untechnical, he was only responsible for weighing the bullet and pouring it into the cartridge. In the opinion of the boss, you can do this by pulling a fully limbed person who is not a fool on the street. So, he unceremoniously rejected Jimmy's request for a raise, and told him that he was already paid a lot, and if he was not satisfied, he could find a new job.

Jimmy really wanted to slam his resignation letter directly in the face of his boss Stroud, and then leave the company with a swagger. However, reality does not allow him to do so. His children are still young, and his wife's health is not very good, once the source of livelihood is cut off, even if it is only for a few days, the family's economy cannot be sustained. Moreover, Jimmy really didn't have any skills, he basically didn't know how to read, and he didn't have natural strength or a smart mind. As Mr. Stru said, if he resigns, Mr. Strull will be able to find someone to fill his position in less than an hour, and he may not be able to find a position with the same salary as his current occupation in a month. Especially now, the economy is not very good, and many people are unemployed. Many people better than him have lost their jobs, such as his neighbor Carter, who was originally a sailor and worked on a transport ship that ran the Atlantic route. It's a hard job, and it's a very skillful job. However, the income is also very good, and Carter can run a boat for almost as much as Jimmy does for a year.

Now, however, Carter is also unemployed, and the ship has been parked there for a long time due to the deteriorating economic situation. Carter, who was accustomed to being lavish, suddenly fell into a dilemma. Seeing that Carter, who used to stew a chicken in a pot every few days, is now living a life where the whole family can only drink porridge, Jimmy is of course more worried about his work.

Fortunately, the company's situation is not bad now, even better than before the crisis. Jimmy knows that this is because the social order is becoming more and more chaotic, and many law-abiding citizens have become thieves or robbers when they can't fill their stomachs. Whether you want to be a robber or a robber-proof, you need weapons. So the company's business has become better.

"The company's business is good, maybe it will give us two more." Jimmy thought to himself.

However, Jimmy's dream was soon shattered. When it was time for the salary, Mr. Stru was very happy to give everyone's salary, but after the salary, he announced a decision that made everyone's hearts cold.

"Given the poor economic shape of society as a whole, companies must accumulate more capital to improve their ability to respond to the crisis. For this reason, we will have to reduce the amount of your wages from next month, and the amount of the reduction will vary slightly depending on the type of work. I believe that everyone can understand the company's difficulties and tide over them with the company. ”

"Shit! This damn vampire! Jimmy knew that Mr. Stru's words were all nonsense, and that he was just taking advantage of the danger of others and taking advantage of the bad economic situation to deduct everyone's wages. However, Jimmy didn't dare to bite the bullet, knowing that if he dared to express even the slightest dissatisfaction, Strull would kick him out of the company without hesitation, and then find a random one of the unemployed to replace him. For Ellie's sake and the child, bear with it!

However, when the plan for cutting wages was laid before his eyes, he felt blood rush to his head - Mr. Stru had cut his wages by half under the condition that the working hours had been extended by three hours! His original salary was only enough to maintain the basic life of the family, but now that such a cut, the money for Ellie's medicine will definitely be gone, and the child will have to drop out of elementary school, and even, even so, the food and clothing of the whole family cannot be guaranteed.

"It's better to go south and be a slave to the Southerners! A slave wouldn't have to work sixteen hours a day without enough to eat! "Of course, it's just thinking. It wasn't that easy to be a slave, and if nothing else, he wasn't black, and his freedom in life was protected by the sacred U.S. Constitution, and the Southerners couldn't make him a slave.

"Maybe you should take a risk, like, like Carter." Jimmy remembered what he had seen the night before.

Jimmy came home from work late that night, exhausted by the intense labor of sixteen hours a day. His home was still far away on the other side of the city, and he had to walk for an hour to get home. As he passed the intersection of Hendry Avenue and Oak Avenue, he suddenly heard a burst of gunshots, and the wails of those who had been shot, as well as the barking of dogs and the sound of people running.

Jimmy dodged and hid in the shadows in the corner of the old Fulham optician's shop, but after a few dozen seconds, he saw several black men, armed with various guns in their hands, running from Oak Avenue, and the figure of one of them looked like an acquaintance. At this time, the man stood up and shouted to the people behind him: "Damn, hurry up, run this way!" "That voice, Jimmy dared to swear to a thousand big-headed ghosts, that voice was definitely his neighbor Carter.

Several dark shadows quickly disappeared into the night, and Jimmy returned home in a panic, as if he were one of the robbers. The next day, Jimmy was now wafting from Carter's house for the first time in a long time, and the smell of chicken soup wafted out again.

"Damn, I'm going to Carter tomorrow, tomorrow, I'm going to join the gang, I'm going to show them the way, go rob the damn Stryw!" With that in mind, Jimmy returned home.

Ellie saw that Jimmy was on his mind, and she asked him, "What's wrong with you, it's not going well at work?" What's wrong? ”

Jimmy shook his head, he didn't want to talk to women about bad luck and his disturbing thoughts, and sometimes men didn't want to talk about that with their women. So, Jimmy just said, "Ellie, I'm fine, I'm just too tired." The woman didn't ask any more.

After scrubbing his body hastily, Jimmy fell asleep, and their son, Neil, who was just eight years old, had fallen asleep before his father came home. The woman carefully lay down beside Jimmy, stretched out her arms, and hugged Jimmy. Jimmy wanted to say something to her, but he didn't say anything, and Jimmy gradually sank into the dream.

……

"Robbery? Interesting...... A group of sailors in black coats and black hats, all armed with rifles, revolvers, double-barreled shotguns, daggers, and sabers, walked past his door and shouted, 'Jimmy! Go together, go together! So they went together. ……

"That's when a group of birds and men in the company laughed, knelt down and shouted, 'Jimmy, spare your life!' Who listens to him! The first damn ones were the boss Stroo and the salaried Royce, and the shift keeper Thorn, and ...... How many are left? Cassie could have stayed, but she didn't. ……

"Stuff,...... Walk in and pry open the safe: dollars, pounds, gold bars,...... Stroo pounced and wanted to snatch it back? A rifle butt was slammed directly on his head...... Kneeling on the ground and shouting, let him leave a little? What did Zanima do? Shove a double-barreled shotgun straight into his mouth, and then a bolt, touch!

……

"Haha!" Jimmy woke up and opened his eyes, it was still early, and it was still dark. The woman's hands were still around him from behind, and her long head was still on the side of his nose.

"Hey, it's a pity it's a dream." Jimmy closed his eyes again.

……

A month passed, and the sailors never came to Jimmy. Robberies on the streets are still happening, but Stru has never been robbed. Jimmy took less than half of his previous wages - damn Thorn, found an excuse, and deducted a lot of his wages - and went home dejected.

Jimmy's heart pounded as he walked to the narrow, dark streets of the ghetto where he lived, and how he walked to the narrow, dark streets of the ghetto where he lived. Today he has a salary, although the money is not much, not even enough to support the family, but after all......

At this time, a hand suddenly reached out from behind his back and covered his mouth and nose. Jimmy struggled, but as a sweet smell was sucked down his nose into his lungs, he felt dizzy and passed out.

……

"Carter?" When Jimmy woke up, he saw Carter standing in front of him. Now that Jimmy wasn't tied up, he quickly reached into his pocket, and the bills in his pocket were still there.

"Don't count it, it's all there." Carter said, "We're not poor enough to rob you of that little money." Your little money isn't enough for Stru to have a dog. I just came to you this time to get you to do me a favor. ”

"You want to rob Struo?" Jimmy's heart tightened, was that dream really going to come true?

But Carter immediately dispelled his delusions.

"That damn guy in Strou isn't that easy to grab, he's as careful as a turtle...... You're in his company for weighing and dispensing ejaculation, and we want you to add a little bit of it to the middle of it. After the deed is done, we will give you 5oo dollars, and you can take this money and take your wife and children to live somewhere else. ”

"My wife and children?" Jimmy was taken aback, "You didn't treat Ellie and them as a whole, did you?" ”

"Ellie's old problem is back, we sent her to a clinic, she's doing well now, you can rest assured. It's just that it costs a lot of money in the clinic. Carter said.

Jimmy stood there, his face blue and white for a while, and after a while, he finally said to Carter, "Give me that thing." ”
