1127.Hillbilly Regiment (1/5)
Li Du wondered, what is going on? Mexicans are so hostile to Americans? Impossible, although the tourists on the street are mainly foreigners, there are still Americans.
He wasn't afraid of these gangsters, but he didn't want to get into such trouble for no reason.
So before the food was served, he went to the shopkeeper, and after some greetings, he went straight to the point: "Man, can you give me some depth? Those young men just now, they are obviously stirring up trouble, right?"
The boss, who was laughing happily, stopped laughing, he looked at Li Du and said, "Your answer is right." ”
"Why?" asked Li Du in disbelief, "Are Mexicans so xenophobic, so belligerent?"
The boss shook his head and said, "Of course not, I don't know the specifics, I didn't inquire." But according to my estimate, there are only two reasons, one is that you are very rich, and they are eyeing you, and the other is that you have provoked people, and someone is looking for them to mess with you. ”
Li Du asked again, and the boss shook his head and stopped talking, saying that he knew this.
With these two answers, Li Du returned.
Before he could speak, Brother Wolf said quietly: "Someone is staring at us, two people, one on the motorcycle and one on Nissan. ”
Li Du nodded and told the news he had heard.
At this time, the waiter began to serve the food, Godzilla raised his beer glass and said disdainfully: "Go to the horses, let them come, eat and drink enough, and they will have the strength to do it later!"
He'd been in the most chaotic gang in the world, and he'd seen so much bloodshed that a few young gangsters couldn't scare him.
But Brother Wolf thought differently, he said: "I'll go find the car first, let's go back to the border quickly, and deal with a group of hooligans who have no money and no power, if they are injured, it is not worth it." ”
Li Du has passed the age of being brave and ruthless, and he agrees with Brother Wolf's opinion, these little rascals don't know who they are or how to deal with things.
Once they hit the red eye, they may kill people, and Li Du doesn't want to risk his life for the sake of momentary anger.
Godzilla took a large sip of beer, tore off a chicken leg and devoured it.
Hans said, "If the reason for Lu Fu is that we just gave the beggar some money so that they could see it?"
"It's possible. Brother Wolf said, "It may also be that the boss gave the driver an extra tip......
Godzilla, who was eating and drinking, suddenly laughed: "Hey, driver. ”
Li Du nodded and said, "Yes, that driver ......"
As soon as he spoke, he realized that Godzilla's driver was not the same person as they spoke.
An expressionless middle-aged man was walking on the street, he was still wearing an orange American-style prison uniform, and a dirty gray-black cotton coat was randomly put on the outside, I don't know if he picked it up, anyway, it was torn and dirty.
Godzilla saw him, and he saw Godzilla, and then slowly walked over and asked, "Can you give me something to eat?"
Li Du motioned for him to be casual and pushed him a glass of beer, he felt that this man needed to drink some wine at this time to improve his mood.
The driver didn't touch his glass, he sat down and took some grilled lamb chops from Godzilla's plate, and tore them with his hands and stuffed them into his mouth, looking even more wolfing up than Godzilla.
Godzilla grabbed him by the shoulder and asked, "Man, what the hell is going on with you? This doesn't look like you!"
He grabbed the other party's tattered cotton coat and took off his jacket and draped it over him.
Godzilla is tall, and his jacket looks like a robe on the driver's body, but it's warmer.
The driver smiled stiffly, and said vaguely while chewing: "Godzilla, my brother, eat, eat, eat." ”
"What the hell happened to you?"
The driver muttered: "It's nothing, it's just a little uncomfortable, eat and eat." ”
Li Du, Hans and Brother Wolf discussed again, the purpose of their coming here is to see the customs of Mexico and taste Mexican food, and now that they have achieved their goal, they can leave.
They really didn't expect to encounter such trouble when they came out.
Hans's inclination that they showed their wealth aroused the coveting of the local thugs, and Li Du believed that someone was behind the scenes, and they were now making a big splash.
They discussed, and the driver ate in silence, and when he dipped in the tomato chili sauce and ate the last bite of cheese corn chips, he put his hand down and tried to wipe it on his clothes, but when he touched the jacket, he took it back and wiped it on his pants.
"Hillbillies, it's the hillbillies who want to mess with you, right?" he asked.
Li Du looked at the driver and said, "What did you say? Do you know about this? Also, who is the hillbilly group? We haven't messed with these people, right?"
The driver said: "Those gangsters just now, the young men with bayonets and fiery dahlia patterns on their necks, they belong to the hillbilly group. ”
After a moment of silence, he introduced Li Du and the others to the hillbilly group.
The place where they were at this time belonged to the Mexican state of Sonora, also known as the city of Nogalis, and the two cities in the north and south had the same name.
North Nogalis belongs to the United States, and South Nogales belongs to Mexico, of which North Nogales is mainly developed by transportation, border trade and mining, while South Nogalis is developed by traditional manufacturing.
The driver pointed south, where the lights were bright: "It's an industrial city, and the city relies on it for its tax revenue, and there are about thirty or forty thousand workers working to make mobile phone accessories, semiconductor devices, and air ducts for jumbo jets and things like that." ”
"The names of those companies, you Americans must be familiar with them, Otis Elevator Company, Baide Group, General Electric, etc., work in these places, the income is stable, not too tiring, and more decent. ”
"The young people around me want to work in it, but they have to be educated or have good skills to get in, and some people are not educated enough or not skilled, and they apply for jobs but are not successful, so they are called hillbillies. ”
Hearing this, Li Du understood and asked, "These young people are the ones who were eliminated by the factory?"
"Yes. The driver nodded, "They're bastards, they don't have a steady income, so they have a chaotic gang, blackmail tourists or do some other shady business." The ones who are eyeing you should be the Vulture Inglas, they are the thugs. ”
"How do you know so well?" asked Brother Wolf sensitively.
The driver smiled and said, "Some hillbillies won't join gangs, they do odd jobs everywhere, and they even don't hesitate to smuggle across the border to work in the United States." But once they are caught by U.S. law enforcement, they will be held for a period of time, and then they will be brought back to Nogalis in droves for repatriation, and I will stay with them. ”
Li Du understood and asked, "They are thugs, so someone should have hired them, right?"
"I don't know. The driver shook his head.
"I'll find out. Li Du beckoned to the waiter, "Buy it, but let your boss collect the money." ”
