Chapter 1: Strangers in a Foreign Land

"Oops~yaa~"

Li Mengyang swore that he must quit drinking in the future, he drank it all yesterday until he was unconscious, what does this head hurt today, and the more elegant one should be called a splitting headache, right?

But soon, Li Mengyang couldn't get up elegant, and a strange sour smell went straight to his nose, this smell is called a strange smell, I think it was only when I was in the college dormitory, after a certain biochemical zombie-level classmate took off his shoes, he even had to buckle it to produce it, and it was very scary to think about it!

It stinks, so what's going on? Could it be that I drank too much and vomited?

Although it was very laborious, Li Mengyang still opened his eyes, and these four eyelids seemed to be stuck together in pairs, and there were a lot of eye droppings on them!

it! Is this a pigsty?

couldn't take care of this '', after Li Mengyang saw the surrounding situation, he was a little scared, because this place was very unfamiliar, and this environment was really bad.

The pigsty is just an adjective, Li Mengyang can see that he is not in the pigsty, but if this place is a pigsty, it is estimated that the pigs will not be happy.

Not to mention the smell or anything, there are a lot of moldy and hairy foods in front of you, and there are even a lot of suspicious things like vomit or feces......

At this time, fooling a guy, Li Mengyang almost didn't throw up, should this be at sea?

It's very much like this environment, and this feeling of vanity......

"What's wrong with you?"

Suddenly, a round head came over and said a word in Cantonese!

This is...... Cantonese had already surprised Li Mengyang, and what surprised him was that he saw the other party's head.

The forehead is shaved, and there is a big braid behind the head!

Is this Nima the Qing Dynasty?!

"Oh! Are you a Haibin? And when Li Mengyang opened his mouth to speak, he was stupid, because this is also a Cantonese!

In 1855, on the endless Pacific Ocean, there was such a ship that was not much different from an ordinary ship, and the reason why it was so complicated was because this ship was not so ordinary, it was a 'piggy' ship.

Originally, at this time in the middle of the 19th century, the piglet boat was not something too special, there were many of them, but now this ship is very special because it has a different person on it!

Li Mengyang was born in the northeast of the motherland, young and intelligent, although not a rich five cars, but in the way of the exam quite experienced, do not like mathematics and science, good literature and history, single-plank bridge battle, tragic Wanfang, partial science and not prevailing, finally had to enter two universities one, study history to avoid the enemy and drill the unpopular, and then in the study of the monk war luckily got off, into the party history hall penance, three years later, thought that he was a great success, but suffered from the country has no way, discouraged, the wine as a song...... When he woke up again, he became a 'piglet' in the fifth year of Xianfeng, that is, in 1855, Li Mengyang.

Soul piercing, it should be like this, Li Mengyang's memory of himself is still quite clear, but the memory of this 'Li Mengyang' is very scattered.

I just know that this 'Li Mengyang', fifteen years old, my father died and my mother got married, my father gave him such a name, I dreamed of a sheep when I gave birth to him, and his mother bought him such a ticket to America!

Thinking that this mother actually sold her child as a 'piglet', Li Mengyang sighed in his heart at that time, "This woman is poisonous enough!" ’

Why do you think so?

It's too simple, because anyone who has studied a little history knows that not everyone can set foot on the land of America when the piglets were sold in this year...... The ship that sells piglets has another name, and that is 'Floating Hell'!

Unexpectedly, just this thought made Li Mengyang suddenly feel a pain in his head, as if he had been pricked by a needle.

"Oops~" This really hurts, Li Mengyang's tears are coming out, this pain is like the kid 'Li Mengyang', I don't want the current Li Mengyang to talk about his mother!

"Don't shout (cry) pull~"

As soon as I saw Li Mengyang crying, the Cantonese on the side came out again.

……

The chimneys in the distance were spewing black smoke viciously, and the brick and concrete buildings, that is, the fourth and fifth floors, were busy dock workers, who were as strong as oxen, but the weight on their shoulders still made them walk heavily......

San Francisco, San Francisco, San Francisco, Li Mengyang saw these scenes, constituted the city, as if a magnificent historical picture unfolded in front of him, of course, the last name only Li Mengyang knows, because the current San Francisco is still a 'new gold mountain'.

"Mengyang, I have made money, I will definitely come to you, you will teach me to read and write when the time comes!"

"Ali, don't worry, there will be a day."

At this time, Li Mengyang no longer has any obstacles to listening to Cantonese, and Ali is the first person Li Mengyang woke up to talk to him on the boat before, his name is Mai Lili, and he met Li Mengyang on the boat, Ali is very envious of the fact that Li Mengyang bought the ticket himself, and he is so envious that he worships, anyway, the two of them are so good.

And when Li Mengyang woke up, Ah Li naturally came to care, which was also very good, and it also let Li Mengyang know a lot of things. For example, the original owner of his whole body was beaten back because he wanted to go home, and there were not only the people of the Qing Dynasty who wore braids on this ship, but also Little Japan who had more shaved hair.

Well, these messy things are not too important, and when Li Mengyang set foot on the land of America, he felt that he was special.

The ticket was bought by himself, which means that he is a free piglet, I am afraid that this is why this 'Li Mengyang' is so protective of his mother, but the problem comes.

Someone like Ali picked it up, this guy left in a caravan, and he really went to make money, he had found a job or something, and he ......

It was really like coming to the United States of America, except for a ragged gown on his body, which was helped by Ali, and there was nothing left. I can't help it, who let myself die once?

The piglets on that boat, the nature that can be used as much as possible, the silver yuan that Li Mengyang carried, and other things, are ......

In fact, I really can't blame this boat of piglets, you know, this year was sold as a piglet, not to mention, you have to bring your own food and water, so, what can be used, it will definitely not be wasted, Ali has also eaten the sweet potatoes left by 'Li Mengyang'.

If you want to come back, it's impossible, I don't know who took it, but luck is not bad, after Li Mengyang woke up, our piglet boat docked in a few days, and before getting off the boat, Li Mengyang enjoyed the last half of the sweet potato, but there was only that half of the sweet potato.

You have to do your best to find a job to keep yourself alive!

Then there's no USCIS or something? Does no one care?

Anyway, no one came to look for Li Mengyang, so he didn't care so much, but before leaving this port, he looked at a small island in the bay not far away, the island was lush and green, but ...... Forget it, let's get a job first!

"Just give me a dollar a day, look at my head, you can do anything!"

"NICE, YOU'RE PRETTY STRONG."

Li Mengyang found the labor market in San Francisco with his very standard CET6 spoken language, but the process was somewhat speechless, because everyone he asked for directions looked at him with a very strange look, which made Li Mengyang's liver flutter.

As soon as he arrived at this place, Li Mengyang felt as if he had arrived at the livestock pen again, don't you really say that it is next to it. The people who came to look for work, everyone's state was similar to those mules and horses.

One by one, they showed their strengths, for those bosses to choose, the one who showed his body just now was a white man, this guy was indeed stronger, but ......

"All I need is half a dollar! And I'm diligent and never lazy! ”

I'll go, this guy only needs half a dollar, and even Li Mengyang is tempted, because this guy is stronger than the one just now, strong and strong, he is a black man!

There are black and white people in this labor market, although there are fewer blacks.

"GOOD, it's you!" Sure enough, although the boss was also white, he still chose cheap and good.

Li Mengyang got an important message:

1 white person = 1 dollar 1 day, 1 black person = half a dollar 1 day, hey wait a minute......

“FUC-K!”

"That is a slave, what do you compare to him?"

The white man who had just shown his muscles and had not yet been favored by the boss was very angry, but he had his own companion to comfort him, so to speak......

A black slave is equal to half a dollar, so how much is his Chinese laborer worth?

“HEY,thirty,thirty……”

Before he could enter the labor market, the boss who was going to hire someone pulled Li Mengyang over for questioning, he was also a white man, and he was gesturing while talking, it was obvious that this boss meant to give Li Mengyang 30 cents a day.

30? Cents?

Damn it! You think Lao Tzu is too cheap, right?

Do you know that Lao Tzu is a monk? And at least he is proficient in a foreign language, which is cheaper than a black slave? Are you kidding me?

Li Mengyang wanted to scold, 'Get out of your ass', but it was estimated that this Yankee didn't understand it at all, so he had to shake this guy off by his hand first.

But at this time, perhaps because of the 30-cent bid, many whites and blacks in the labor market who were looking for work noticed Li Mengyang and the white boss, and they all came over here.

Li Mengyang didn't think there was anything in this, so he said a word of English to the white boss.

"No, no, 30 cents is too little, I want at least one dollar a day, isn't America free and equal? I'm not a slave, we should be equal, aren't I? ”

It's just that Li Mengyang didn't expect that just such a sentence would put himself in trouble!

"Oh my God, this Chinese worker can speak English!"

"Damn, it's so good?"

“FUC-K! Kill this bastard! ”

"That's right! Get this bastard out of San Francisco! ”

Li Mengyang was stupid at that time, seeing several big men coming towards him, there was black and white in it, and the momentum was absolutely like eating him alive.

Run!

Stupid X doesn't run!

Because these bastards are vicious and ruthless, and he is just a teenager now, this little arm and leg, the so-called, good man does not suffer immediate losses.

"Catch him!"

"This guy is quite flexible!"

“SHIT!”

didn't catch it, this team of black and white had to go back, but the white boss who wanted to hire Li Mengyang was a little annoyed, after all, in this year, a Chinese worker who can speak English is really too rare.

Fortunately, Li Mengyang saw the opportunity early, and really let him run away, the whole process was still quite thrilling, if it weren't for his more flexible skills, and the half of the sweet potatoes that were about to get off the boat before, maybe Li Mengyang would really have confessed to this labor market.

"WHAT-THE-FARK!" After running for two miles, Li Mengyang Yangtian was sprayed, "What the is this society?" What did Lao Tzu do? Are they crazy? What about democracy and the rule of law? ”

The first time I came to the United States to find a job, I completely failed, and Li Mengyang was about to run out of half of the sweet potato because of the previous strenuous exercise, which ......

Could it be that if I have just set foot on the soil of the United States and have not enjoyed a minute of freedom and democracy, will I, Li Mengyang, be starved to death?

Holding your breath, unwillingness, and accompanied by hunger and cold, you hit together, is it ......

"Hou Shengzi, can you speak foreign language?"

Just when Li Mengyang was about to despair, he heard a kind country accent.
