1125. Old Driver (4/5)
Hans, Brother Wolf and others drew crosses on their chests to express their condolences for the young brothers who unfortunately died, and some border policemen shook their heads and also painted crosses on their chests.
When this happens, no one feels good.
It was an American volunteer who found the body of the younger brother and had to be sent back to Mexico.
Two stretchers, one large and one small, were sent through the passage door, where they were received by Mexican law enforcement officers.
The stretcher was covered with a white cloth and tied at the front and back, and a woman took off the cross around her neck and placed it on the front of the small stretcher, her face full of grief.
Others were to be repatriated, handcuffed, in a line like prisoners, surrounded by police escorts to take them to Mexico.
These are stowaways, some of whom were caught and detained when they first crossed the border, or those who were caught and deported after years of illegal presence in the United States.
Looking at these people, Li Du asked, "Godzilla, how did you come to the United States at that time?" ”
Godzilla said sullenly: "I have a lot of strength, to do heavy and rough work, at that time the United States introduced some new immigration policies to attract low-level workers, count me lucky......"
Halfway through his words, he stopped talking, and his eyes were staring straight at the repatriated stowaway.
Li Du asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
Godzilla continued to look forward with wide eyes as if he hadn't heard the words, his thick Adam's apple trembling and looking excited.
Li Du asked again: "What do you see?" ”
"An acquaintance." Godzilla finally came to his senses, and he said slowly, "I saw a guy I knew before. ”
As he spoke, he pointed it out to Li Du.
It was a middle-aged man, who looked sad and glazed, and he had a rather athletic figure, especially his neck, which was almost as thick as his head.
Li Du said: "Did you know each other when you were in the gang before?" ”
Godzilla nodded and said in a low voice: "Well, the gang gangster, he is a good driver, he used to dominate the underground arena for a long time. ”
"This kind of person should mix well in Mexico, right? Why do you have to go to the United States? Li Du wondered.
Godzilla said: "He stopped driving black cars, and his son was proud of him and secretly drove fast cars, and as a result, he had an accident. ”
After speaking, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, should I go and say hello?" In fact, we used to be good brothers, and when we were in the gang, we were good brothers. ”
The first time Li Du heard Godzilla call a person as a 'good brother', he had the impression that this guy was taciturn, like a lone wolf, and he was alone.
Brother Wolf is more taciturn, but he is a habit of professional development, he actually has a surging enthusiasm in his heart, and he has a good relationship with Da Ao, Hans and others.
Li Du thought for a while and asked, "You guy, a good driver?" How good is it? ”
"It's like in the movies, he once drove a van and pulled six guys, and got rid of twenty or thirty cars." Godzilla said.
"And what about him? Will it cause trouble? How do you do things? Li Du continued to ask.
Godzilla understood what he meant, and immediately said: "As reliable as me, he is not the kind of gang-gangster, he is the same as me, he has to join, and then he leaves the gang when he has the opportunity." ”
Li Du said: "I just lack a full-time driver, if you think he is very suitable, I want to try him." ”
"He's so suitable, his nickname is Driver!" Godzilla said happily.
Li Du smiled and stepped forward to contact the police: "Hey, man, a friend of mine is here, I think there is a problem with this, how can he be here?" ”
The policeman looked at him vigilantly and said, "We don't know, we do things according to the law, and no one here has legal residency in the United States." ”
Godzilla is very exaggerated, and when he gets closer, he attracts the attention of some people.
The middle-aged man he called the driver didn't do this, he still hung his head and looked at the ground blankly, as if he was sitting on an old monk.
Hans saw that Li Du wanted to protect the middle-aged man, and said, "You can't do this, Li, you need a lawyer and a security deposit." ”
Li Du said: "Don't worry, let's see his attitude first." ”
After saying that, he said to the police: "I think there may be a misunderstanding, can you let me talk to my friend and let me ask what happened." Lo and behold, there's a tragedy in Congo, and we don't want to have another tragedy, right? ”
Hearing this, the policeman was silent for a few seconds, he kept staring at Li Du, and then asked, "Which one is your buddy?" ”
"Carlos Pedro, that guy." Godzilla hurriedly guided.
The policeman looked at it and found that the middle-aged man's mood was wrong, so he reluctantly nodded and said, "You can talk." ”
Godzilla walked over, and the Mexicans around him subconsciously retreated.
At this time, the middle-aged man finally noticed the abnormality and raised his head blankly.
When he saw Godzilla, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Hey, brother, you seem to be mixing very well." ”
Godzilla grabbed him by the shoulder and asked, "Driver, what's going on?" ”
The middle-aged man said nonchalantly: "As you can see, I went to the United States, but I sneaked in, and now I am being repatriated." ”
Godzilla asked, "I have a way to keep you in the United States, you can help my boss drive." ”
The middle-aged man shook his head with a smile, and Godzilla added, "The boss is doing serious business!" ”
But the middle-aged man still shook his head, and he said briefly: "I want to go home." ”
Godzilla nodded silently, he patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, and said, "Good luck." ”
Returning to Li Du's side, he said frustratedly: "I'm sorry boss, he doesn't want to stay in the United States anymore, I can't let him work for you." ”
Li Du said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, in fact, Brother Wolf is very good as a driver." ”
Godzilla smacked his lips and said: "Brother Wolf is powerful, but driving, or the driver is stronger, he is really strong!" ”
The stowaways were all repatriated, and the passages were reopened so that people could walk through.
Li Du took out his passport and visa to show the border inspectors, and the man asked, "What are you doing in Mexico?" ”
"Eat." Li Du replied honestly.
The staff was surprised, pouted after looking at him, stamped it on, and returned the document to him.
At the end of the passage is a turnsliding door, through which they enter the land of Mexico, to be exact, the land of Sonora, Mexico.
Unlike what Li Du saw around the warehouse before, the Mexican land here is also a desert, but it is not desolate at all, many houses have been built, and many people live in this place.
Further south, four or five kilometres across the border, a town rises from the ground, and under the setting sun, the town is already lit up for a lively night.
