Rhett, as usual, walked towards his Gary at an average pace.This pace is a long-term habit, and it is okay to call it muscle memory, because Red had a brief military service experience where he was trained in the queue, and this pace has unconsciously seeped into his blood and bones.Even after leaving i6, he is still the former soldier in his bones.Of course, as for what kind of soldier he is, that is the evaluation given to him by others, and he doesn't count what he says.Today is one of the few times he hasn't gone to Mother Goose's restaurant to eat, and there is no other reason for doing so, but he suddenly doesn't want to go on a whim.Red hadn't had a good night's sleep since he returned from Comolo.At night, he always woke up in nightmares, in which he was chased by something, and when he looked back, he could see nothing but darkness.Then he would gasp for air in the dark until his heart stopped beating violently and he could not fall back asleep after taking something like sleeping pills.This is the experience of nightmares, Red has tried.When he first came out of the i6, there was also a period of time when Red seemed to have had a period of insomnia, which had tormented him for more than two years.And this time, he vaguely felt as if he had made a mistake that he shouldn't have made.In the past two days, except for classes, he tried to stay at his home and wait for the call.The seemingly inconspicuous hard drive seemed to have stirred the waters of the entire underground intelligence circle, and Red felt that many people were tracking him.The sun in South Africa is a little white at noon, and you can turn a corner in front of you and walk another 700 meters to your home."
Sir, would you like to buy some ice cream?"
A teenage black man appeared out of nowhere and grabbed his clothes."
Oh!
No, I don't like ice cream. ”He subconsciously lowered his head and found that he was being held by a little black girl wearing a somewhat dirty skirt and her hair tied into many twisted pigtails."
Just 10 rand."
The little girl blinked her eyes and looked expectant: "It's cheap, it's hot, eat some ice cream, you'll be comfortable." ”Rhett noticed that there were a few little black men about the same age as the little girl pushing a rusty-looking ice cream cart next to him.Truth be told, Red really doesn't like this ice cream.Because these black people don't know what to put in the ice cream, it always makes Red feel uncomfortable, and he doesn't want to run to the toilet after eating it and let his chrysanthemums suffer all the time."
No, no, no, I really don't need to."
Red looked impatient.Where are the police and security guards in this community?
In the same case, the security guards and police here will drive away the little blacks when they see them, and although the apartheid policy has passed, the class between the rich and the poor still exists, and the walls and policies of segregating blacks have been torn down, but the walls in people's hearts cannot be torn down.Besides, if there were blacks infiltrating the neighborhood, they were going to come and take the sheep in most cases, which had not happened before, and the wealthy people who lived here had a lot of opinions about it."
Please, I can't sell all these ice creams today, I'll be hungry when I go back."
The little black girl pitifully grabbed Rhett's hand, and it didn't seem like she wanted to let go."
Okay, please."
The little girl's pleading again and again made Red both irritable and helpless, although this is a rich area, and unidentified people are not allowed to enter, but once he is angry with the little girl or even rude, then it is impossible to tell if he enters the police station.Now South Africa is different from the past, many important positions in government departments are held by blacks, and some of the white people who stay here live very poorly, and those who have money do not dare to treat blacks as before, because once disputes and contradictions arise and go to the police station or court, those black people who turn over and become masters will always have revenge and revenge, and they will always be biased towards the same kind of people of the same color.Damn it!
Rhett cursed to himself, and helplessly took the money out of his pocket, counted ten rands and handed it to the little girl."
Okay, then get me one."
He thought to himself that at that time, there were few steel hammers anyway, and it was a big deal to wait for these little black men to leave, and throw the ice cream into the trash can himself, so that he would not risk gastroenteritis to eat these things.Unexpectedly, the little girl blinked her eyes but stared at the other stack of banknotes in his hand."
Sir, can you buy a few more, I have six left, can you buy them all, can I go home early?"
Rhett was stunned, this request sounded too much!
Isn't this a forced buy and a forced sale?
Who is the vulnerable?"
No, dear."
He tried his best to keep his calm, warned himself not to get angry, not to get angry, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I live alone, I really can't eat so much." ”"Please......" the little girl repeated.Maybe it's because she has been on the streets all the year round, and she already knows how to read words and feelings, the little girl's acting skills can be described as first-class, she always makes people look like that kind of pitiful appearance, and she is always so weak that it makes people feel distressed.Red's head was twice as big, and he realized that he really should have done a fortune divination when he went out today, maybe he shouldn't go home today, but he should finish the lecture honestly and go to the mother goose restaurant to eat, so that it won't cause all these troubles."
Okay!"
His tone had become less polite, but he decided to spend money to eliminate the disaster.Handing the little girl a few bills, Red took the seven ice creams wrapped in a crumpled plastic and stood there with a look of disgust until the little ones disappeared around the corner of the intersection."
They shouldn't have been in charge back then!"
He turned around angrily, and finally saw a garbage can across the road, walked over, and threw a whole bag of untouched ice cream into it.After doing all this, he took out his handkerchief and wiped it on his hand, as if the plastic bag he had just touched was stained with some inexplicable germs.…… Behind the corner of the street, Qin Fei leaned against the wall of a courtyard.The little black girl and her accomplices pushed the ice cream cart and walked in front of Qin Fei."
We did as you said."
The little girl's face no longer had that pitiful expression, and in a blink of an eye, she now looked like an old man, and there was no timidity in her eyes."
It's time for you to keep your promise!"
Qin Fei grinned and took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to the little girl.The little girl shone neatly into the sun, played it skillfully, and then smiled with satisfaction.She already knows how to distinguish between authenticity and fakeness, because there are many tourists here, and they already know how to deal with tourists, and they also know how to distinguish between real and fake banknotes from various countries in their hands."
Very good."
Qin Fei gave a thumbs up.The little girl returned to the ice cream truck, took out a yellow ice cream from it, and handed it to Qin Fei."
Here, for you, mango taste."
Qin Fei took the ice cream, first a little surprised, and then before he could come back to his senses, the little girl and his companion had already walked away.He hurriedly pressed the call button and asked Mister, who had been online."
Rhett was dragged for a few minutes, what's going on over there?
Do you need me to catch him directly?
”If Mister still can't finish his job, Qin Fei feels that he should take a risk, because instead of being discovered by Red, it is better to strike first and catch him.Before Mister could answer, Qin Fei took the ice cream and licked it, feeling that this was not bad.
