George's house, two blocks from Mr. Zhang's new home in New York, is not a single-family garden house, but an apartment complex with a caretaker.

Judging from the surrounding environment, this can be regarded as one of the business districts of New York, far more prosperous than the neighborhood where Zhang Lisheng lives.

In the dark red carpeted hall of the apartment building, Zhang Lisheng politely asked a strong black man at the front desk who was also a waiter and a bodyguard: "Good morning, my name is Zhang Lisheng, and I am a classmate of George's who lives in apartment No. 3 on the ninth floor here, and I have something to do with him." ”

"Wait a minute, young man. With his face in mind, the strong black man rang the intercom in the third room on the ninth floor.

When the intercom was connected, he said, "Hello, is this Mr. Dolby?"

"My dad is still sleeping, I'm Harvey. ”

"Sorry to disturb Mr. Harvey so early.

There is a young man named Zhang Lisheng in the front hall, who is looking for your brother George, who is his classmate. ”

"yes, let him in. ”

"Good Mr. Harvey, see you again. The black strong man turned off the intercom, looked up at Zhang Lisheng and said, "Young man, you can go in." ”

"Thank you. After Zhang Lisheng thanked him, he walked into the old-fashioned elevator in the apartment building that had been running for I don't know how many years, and came to the ninth floor.

The elevator door opened, George was already waiting outside the door, he saw Zhang Lisheng and then shook his fist and asked, "Man, today is a day off, what's the matter with coming to me?"

"The expired raw meat at Du Ze's butcher shop is not enough for me, and I need your help to get enough 'dead cats and rotten dogs'. Without any cover-up, Zhang Lisheng directly said his intention.

"Hey Li Sheng, didn't I return your favor last night?"

"Last night was a surprise, and today I came to you to fulfill a promise. ”

George was stunned for a moment, stared at Zhang Lisheng's calm face for a while, and said weakly: "Damn, I knew that Lu Dao was like this, I really shouldn't have taken the initiative to know you as a weirdo."

It's better to be spat on at school than to be shot. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?"

"The 'stuff' you want to get your hands on is going to Queens, where some crazy people shoot people in the head for a new pair of running shoes. ”

"But didn't you grow up there?"

"It's because I grew up there that I know how dangerous it really is.

If you really want to go your own way, when it comes to the ugly words, all I can help you with is to connect with the seller, and the rest is up to you. ”

"Okay, after you introduce me to the seller, you can leave at any time.

But George, don't I just want to buy some stale raw meat, why do you talk about it like drug trafficking? ”

George said with a gloomy face: "Man, don't you know that food crimes and drug trafficking in the United States are federal felonies, of course, another thing they have in common is that they are not easy to be caught."

Forget it, wait for me, we'll leave right away. He turned around and ran home.

When he came out of the house again, he had already changed into a slightly old black jacket and old shoes.

When he went downstairs with George, he realized that buying enough blood food for the witch worm didn't seem to be something that could be easily completed after finding a channel, Zhang Lisheng cautiously asked, "Do I need to change into old clothes?"

"Li Sheng, you have to pay the bill when you buy something, and it's useless for you not to wear new shoes. ”

Zhang Lisheng subconsciously touched the backpack behind him, smiled calmly and said, "You're right, George." ”

'Queens', the only area in New York's five boroughs, which is composed of various ethnic minorities and colored races, is hailed as a new symbol of New York, the world's second largest metropolitan city, in the travel guide.

Officially, if Manhattan represents New York's former glory, then Queens represents a new future for an embracing, blending, and vibrant New York.

New immigrants from all over the world with the 'dream of the United States' must settle in Queens as their first stop in New York.

Here, you can taste authentic delicacies from all over the world and enjoy the works of the most unique and emerging artists.

For example, in this New York region with a population of more than 2 million, there is basically no commercial area and no large supermarket;

One-third of the neighborhoods here rarely have pedestrians after 8 p.m., and even most of them must be carrying guns and drugs, but these dangerous neighborhoods seem to be blind spots in the eyes of the New York police, and there are very few patrol vehicles;

In addition to selling their physical strength and earning a small reward, the new immigrants who have moved in through various legal and illegal means have a way to live by roaming the streets with pistols and taking stealing and robbery as a profession;

There are also up-and-coming artists living here, most of whom perform all kinds of quirky performance art on the street or in subway stations part-time to beg for money, and a few do simple manual labor in cafes and restaurants, and once their works are recognized and sold for a price, the first thing they do must be moving.

In short, in the eyes of New Yorkers in the other four wards, the words poverty, dirty, and sinful are the true portrayal of Queens.

Taking the subway from Brooklyn to Queens is like riding a time machine from the new century to the 60s and 70s, and you can witness the regression of civilization with your own eyes.

After the subway arrived at the destination, looking at the dirty graffiti on the wall of the station, George looked at Zhang Lisheng beside him with a sad face, and did not know how many times he advised: "Be careful..."

Zhang Lisheng walked out of the subway, looked at the endless crowd around him, and finally said impatiently: "George, there are a lot of 'backpackers' around us who travel independently, and I really don't see that we need to be careful here and there." ”

"When they come to the zoo, some people stay outside the cage and throw peanuts at the monkeys, and some people open the cage and make a deal with the lions, with different purposes and different attitudes. ”

Zhang Lisheng once again felt his only friend in the United States, the extraordinary hidden under the usual strange performance, he nodded, did not say anything, followed George vigilantly, and walked out of the subway station.

But I was a little strange in my heart that George would be conservative and bullied in Lobic Middle School, but he forgot that the big fish has thousands of pounds of strength in the water, but when they get to the shore, they can only die of thirst, and in a sense, how can it not be so.

Outside the subway station are low-slung houses and jovial crowds, and there are not a single skyscraper in sight, nor a single pedestrian in a suit and leather shoes, with a determined and confident step.

Everyone who walks out of the subway station and looks like a tourist is warmly embraced by a group of clowns in colorful clothes with balloons.

The little ones will also get an additional hydrogen balloon that flutters towards the calf.

Of course, almost all travelers will also throw a dollar or two in return for the top hat held by the clown.

Zhang Lisheng, who was carrying a backpack, was obviously classified as a tourist, but when a clown approached him, George said in a Queens accent, "Hey man, we're not outsiders." And he drove them away.

"The security in the Salson community is one of the best in the neighborhood, but there are a lot of pickpockets.

Okay, we're going to a place that's not close to here, let's walk for an hour or two, let's go. ”

Hearing that he had to walk for such a long time, Zhang Lisheng asked suspiciously: "George, is there no subway or bus or taxi there?"

"It's safest to walk, put your hands in your trouser pockets, act like you're holding a guy, and come with me. ”

"This is your territory, it's yours to decide. Zhang Lisheng said, following George into the cheerful flow of people.

The two of them continued to zigzag through narrow alleys and wide streets, and Zhang Lisheng felt that the flow of people around him was decreasing and the faces of pedestrians were becoming more and more stiff and cold.

After walking for more than an hour, George, who was speechless all the way, lowered his head and walked in a hurry, suddenly said, "Man, I actually don't know where to sell the 'things' you need."

However, when I was working at Du Ze's butcher's shop, I once heard Rocky mention that there is a lot of illegal meat trade in the port of Queens, and I will take you to meet this man, and there is a way to get all the illegal things in Queens..."

"Broker?"

"It's the most trustworthy and well-behaved broker I know of Langdao.

But even so, you have to be careful with everything a little bit, and if something happens, it's best not to provoke anyone, and do exactly what they say. George said seriously.

"George, you can know this kind of person, it seems that it was not easy before. ”

"The only specialty of the community I was born into was hooligans and gangsters, and it was natural to know them.

Remember what I just told you, I really don't want any accidents to happen to you, otherwise it would be difficult for me to get out. ”

"OK, I made a note of it. Zhang Lisheng said casually panting as he walked.

At this time, four or five black young men in dark gray jumpers were about to pass shoulders, when one of them, a fat man with a height of more than one hundred and eighty centimeters, suddenly stopped, pouted, stared at George with gloomy eyes and said, "Hey, hey, guess who I saw, George, George, George."

My old friend who has left the country, how can you return to this dirty, run-down, sinful Queens? ”

"Shit," George, who couldn't dodge, cursed in a low voice, raising his voice with an embarrassed face, "Rabbi, listen, I don't want to make trouble."

I just came back here to bring this friend to make a deal with Boss Kuiwen. ”

"Come to Boss Kuiwen, hey, hey...

George, you've been away here for too long, and it seems that some news is blocked," the fat rabbi stepped forward and hooked George's shoulder hard, and whispered, "It's been a few months since Quiven was shot in the head in front of the Black Cat Bar.

Now my brother Lako is in charge here, and I can come directly to me if there is any deal. ”
