Summer subconsciously tilted her head and sniffed her right shoulder, a smell of alcohol on her slightly wrinkled plaid shirt, this is still in the "Paradise" club, if this is in the "secret" night show, it is estimated that the smell of smoke will not be less. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

White tank tops, plaid shirts, jeans, sneakers, these should be the crisp and comfortable clothes that should be dressed in summer, but they are all tainted by the erosive atmosphere.

"Come in." The old black man had come to the door of the barber shop with wide eyes, and said with a kind face.

Summer hesitated, the investigation of Victor's information in the past few days has been inconclusive, which upset him, coupled with Nicole's mandatory request that he not get involved in more things and focus on getting rid of the influence of Venom, which made him even more distressed. In fact, in his heart, he also knew that Nicole was thinking about him and putting all the burden on her own head.

In a trance, Summer had already walked in, looking at this barber shop that was not big or small, and the figure of a few teenagers playing video games not far away made his eyes freeze, are they playing the NBA? 2k series, huh...... Achievement: I'm in the game to watch others play......

"These children are not homeless, but their terrible parents can't give them a better environment to grow up in, and I have to work hard to get them in." The white-haired old man pointed to the sink in the corner of the room with one hand and said, "Go wash it, what kind of perfume do you like?" If you don't mind, air fresheners will work? ”

"Uh......" Summer scratched her head, "you're letting them play games here?" ”

"It's better than letting them wander the streets, and if you let them go, I can't think they'll learn anything good except crime, and there's more scum in Harlem than there's mineral water in the store." The old man said helplessly, pointing to the corner beside him, where there was a small table with a chessboard on it, "I want to teach them how to play chess, but they don't like it." ”

"Looks like there's a reason you're so popular here." Summer disguised a smile and walked over to the sink, unscrewing the switch with her right hand.

"Of course, everyone here knows me, you can also call me 'Daddy', young man, you're not a local." The old black man, who called himself Daddy, looked at Summer's strange hand-washing behavior, his eyes observed for a moment on the sports gloves in Summer's left hand, and continued, "You're new here?" ”

"No, just passing by." Summer wiped her face, sat directly on the chair, looked at herself in the mirror, and said, "Let me see your craftsmanship." ”

"Well, the hair is indeed a bit long, let me give you a more energetic hairstyle." Dad skillfully put on his work clothes, tied a white cloth to Summer, and when he was sorting out the cloth, his left hand pressed Summer's left shoulder as if it were nothing.

Summer's eyes were raised, looking at the father in the mirror, a subtle movement, but with a dangerous atmosphere that ordinary people can't imagine. Daddy's hand didn't hold it steady, and it fell to the ground with a clatter.

A man poked his head out of the back door, and when he saw that it was just a small situation, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quipped: "I said, Dad, you are simply too old, you should stay at home and enjoy your old age, isn't the money you have earned over the years enough for your retirement?" ”

"Put down your mop and take out a dollar." Daddy picked up the scissors slowly and snorted at the table beside him.

"Oh." A man walked out with a mop and happened to hear Daddy's voice, "Two dollars." ”

"Okay, okay." The man reluctantly threw two dollars into the piggy bank, and the novelty was that the piggy bank had a piece of paper taped to it that read "stolen money".

"Swearing is not allowed here, I have to create a good environment for the kids, some people can't help but swear, and I'll punish them with a dollar." Daddy looked at Summer's head with one hand as if he was fine, and explained.

The piggy bank on the table was already stuffed with change.

Summer also realized that he was too sensitive, and for an ordinary old man, he didn't need to resist the other party like this, so he didn't care about anything more.

"Bad things always happen, tell me, is it because of a car accident?" Daddy asked, apparently thinking that Summer's left arm was a prosthetic.

"Well, it's because of a car accident." Summer was silent for a long time and responded. Daddy was right, the beginning of his life in Hell's Kitchen was a car accident. It's just that the answer to summer is not what is asked.

"Oh, that's unfortunate, you know ......"

"Why don't you say something happy?" Summer opened her mouth and interrupted the old man behind her.

Daddy's movements paused for a moment, continued to trim his hair, and said, "There are very few happy things in Harlem, and I am the only pure land left here, maybe I am the source of happiness in Harlem." ”

Dad joked, suddenly remembered something, his face was slightly happy, and he could see that it was not pretended: "The famous 'Paradise Club' here has changed owners, I have heard a lot of rumors during this time, it is said that it is a lot cleaner, it seems that the owner of the 'secret' night club of Hell's Kitchen bought 'Paradise', which is the luck of Harlem, and finally has a place where people can enjoy normal entertainment." ”

"They also brought in a legendary singer from Harlem the other day, you know, that old black was my childhood friend, and it was said that the 'Club Paradise' was open to anyone for free that day, which was a shame, I was too busy with business to have ever been there." "I've always wanted a ticket, and people who have been there say it's a pure 'Harlem.'" Do you know what 'Harlem' is? Yellow-skinned lad. Hehe, you don't know, it's a culture that is unique to our group of black people. ”

Summer listened silently, silently.

Daddy's mouth was like a chatterbox, and he didn't close it again when he opened it, and he actually began to introduce black culture to Summer.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally the father habitually picked up the razor and came to the back of Summer, with a pity in his words: "Poor young man, you know that there are not many real craftsmen here, and my razor skills are one of them, but unfortunately you don't have the idea of growing a beard, then again, you yellow people have very light body hair, and it is also difficult to grow a cool beard." ”

......There was a screeching sound of brakes outside the door, and the razor in Daddy's hand paused, turned to look, and through the glass door, he saw a pure black supercar.

“holy... shit...... Is that a Chevrolet's Corvette? A teenager lowered the handle and stared out the door dumbfounded.

"A dollar." Dad also looked at the supercar outside the door intently, but subconsciously said a word in his mouth.

"Oh my God, it actually stopped at Daddy's door!? Daddy, is your craft already so famous? Hell yes! The other kid asked stupidly.

"You remember to pay a dollar, too," Daddy held his razor and stared motionlessly at the figure walking out of the sports car, "of course my craft is ...... Sit down, kids, grab your damn controllers, and play a game for me! ”

"Haha, a dollar, Daddy."

"yes, yes, I heard that, too." A few children laughed loudly.

"I'll pay $10 later, you can sit down for me, play games, and if you don't want to be sent home by me now!" Daddy's expression was very serious, and he scolded loudly.

Jingle bells...

As the door was opened, the bell tied to the door made a crisp sound, and Nicole pushed the door open and walked in with a blank face.

"Why are you so nervous and reprimanding those kids?" Summer looked at the reflection in the mirror and saw the group of teenagers reluctantly holding the handle, fiddling absentmindedly, and couldn't help but peek at the appearance of people.

"I've lived for decades, and my eyes are okay, and I know who to mess with and who needs to be avoided. This group of children is fearless because they are ignorant. I've seen a lot and I've learned to be in awe. Daddy spoke, turning his head and looking in the mirror, meeting Summer's eyes, "It's just that I didn't expect that I was wrong about you, I shouldn't have let you in, young man." ”

Summer was slightly stunned, Dad's words made sense, maybe he really had vicious eyes, and if he could survive in such a chaotic community until now, he might really have his own rules of survival. You know, Harlem is a center of crime, and there are daily fatalities caused by fights, robberies, bullets and so on.

Nicole came behind Summer, looked at Summer's face in the mirror, and said, "I'm surprised to hear you're here." ”

Summer staggered her eyes and didn't speak. (To be continued.) )
