Chapter 35: Luke Cage

Luke?

Luke Cage!

In the barbershop, Li Ran looked at the tall figure that appeared in the mirror, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

It's finally here, at least not to let the hair be cut white.

"Sleeping is not a reason, Daddy, I go to bed late every day, but I am always the first to come to the store." Putting down the scissors in his hand, the old black man turned his head to the tall man behind him while changing into electric clippers.

Luke: "That's because you don't sleep much, Daddy." ”

Henry: "Maybe you could choose a job that will make you go to bed early and wake up early, such as a waiter at the restaurant next door. ”

Luke smiled wryly and replied, "Daddy, you know, I need a nightclub job, and the restaurant doesn't tip as much as a nightclub, and Lady Connie has been urging me for days, and if I don't make up the rent I owe, she'll drive me to sleep on the street." ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Henry immediately corroborated: "Believe me, with what I know about Connie, she will definitely do what she says." ”

Luke: "I believe it too. ”

Henry: "Well, what are you doing here, that big pile of towels in the washing machine isn't going to clean itself." ”

Luke: "Thank you, Daddy. ”

Sitting by the window, Poppy watched the conversation between the two and shook her head with a smile.

"You don't actually have any intention of pursuing it at all, right?" Sitting on the hairdresser's seat, Li Ran looked at his hair about to be cut short, and couldn't help but ask.

"Is it that obvious?" With a surprised look on his face, Henry turned his head to look in Luke's direction, and then said, "I thought my acting skills were good." ”

"It's too obvious, Henry." Picking up the flag and eating White's pawns, Bobby touched his beard and replied, "If you want to help Luke, you can say it generously." ”

"I know Luke," Henry said while changing into scissors and trimming Li Ran's hair in front of him, "He is not a person who is willing to accept help easily, which means that he would rather work two or even three jobs than accept my offer to raise his salary." ”

Bobby: "At least, he's a good guy, isn't he?" ”。

Henry: "That's right, he's a good guy. ”

He's not just a good guy.

Li Ran sat on the chair, listened to the conversation between Henry and Bobby, and couldn't help but add silently in his heart.

……

"All right, kid." Removing the cloth tied around Li Ran's neck, Henry patted the fine hair on the back of his neck and said, "It looks like this, you have more energy, doesn't it?" ”

Li Ran: "......"

Silently looking at the almost short shape in front of the mirror, for some reason, Li Ran inexplicably remembered the scene where Ah Xing and the senior brother performed in the bar in the movie "Kung Fu Football", and couldn't help but have the urge to sing the song "Mighty King Kong Legs and Iron Head Gong".

He was bald, but unfortunately he didn't get stronger.

"Dad, it's clear that your look isn't suitable for Asians."

Sitting on the side, Shamik noticed Li Ran's smooth and funny appearance, and couldn't help but laugh and mock.

"Well, I'll admit, I did make some mistakes, and the effect was a little bit different from what I thought, so boy, you might need a hat."

"How much is it?"

Suppressing the speechlessness in his heart, Li Ran touched his slippery head and asked.

"Kid, I said it just now, it's free."

"Dad, it's not fair." Hearing Henry's words, Shamik, who asked Chico to cut his hair, began to be dissatisfied: "Why can a first-time person be free, and he is not Michael Jordan." ”

Putting down the scissors in his hand, Chico mended the knife next to him and said, "Or boxing champion Ali." ”

"He's not even black."

"Daddy naturally has his reasons for doing this."

In the face of Shamik's opposition, Luke Cage, who had been silently sweeping the floor beside him, couldn't help but speak.

"Daddy does this, naturally he has his reasons~"

Luke Cage's words obviously pulled Shamik's hatred over, and he repeated the words in a strange way.

Shamik turned to look at Luke, "Seriously, dude, what the hell are you doing here?" ”

"I'll sweep my hair, Shamik." In the face of Shamik's obviously provocative words, Luke Cage unexpectedly suppressed his temper and calmly replied: "I still mop the floor, I can wash the towels, wipe that window spotlessly, this is my job, you can never understand." ”

Shamik: "You call this work? ”

Luke: "At least I'm trying to make a living, I don't want you, I can't even cut my hair." ”

"Hey, guys, don't make trouble."

Noticing that the atmosphere at the scene was becoming more and more gunpowder-like, Henry, who was standing on the side, opened his mouth to speak.

However, Li Ran noticed that the expression on his face did not appear to be too nervous, and he obviously did not think that the situation in front of him was serious. Or, he has considerable confidence in one of them.

He glanced meaningfully at old Henry, and returned his gaze to the situation in front of him. Similarly, Li Ran didn't think that the situation in front of him would become so serious, even if, seriously, his appearance was actually one of the fuses that ignited the gunpowder of the two people in front of him.

"I've had enough......"

Luke's last words obviously became the key to ignite Shamik's anger, and he stood up angrily and swore to Luke Cage.

"What, Shamik, what have you had enough?"

Silently staring at his current Shamik, Luke asked rhetorically, word for word.

Looking at the tall figure in front of him, Shamik's original anger suddenly retreated, looked away, and decisively chose to reply from his heart: "I'm fed up with the current immutable life, and I want to change." ”

"There's hair here."

Shamik's admitting appearance made everyone in the barbershop smile.

"All right, kid." Shaking his head with a smile, Henry looked back at Li Ran beside him: "Sorry kid, let you see this farce, I won't accept the money for a haircut, if you have any difficulties in Harlem and need help, you can come to me." ”

Shamik: "Daddy, I need help too. ”

"Then my advice to you, Shamik, is to find a job that can support you, instead of living a life of idleness every day."

"I'm looking for someone, I wonder if you've heard of a place called Verard?"

Henry: "Verard? ”

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Henry asked Poppy by the window, "Poppy, have you heard of this place?" ”

Bobby: "No. ”

By the window, Poppy replied dryly.
