Chapter nine(1/2)

Tao Xi just nodded muffledly after hearing what Marlon Miris said. When Marlon Miris saw that Tao Xi did not eat the canned meat this time, but opened the biscuits and ate them hungrily,

Marlon Mirris added: "Well, don't eat so much at one time. According to what you said, not eating meat for a long time is not good for the stomach."

"And I don't have any other snacks." After saying this, Marlon Mirez covered his passenger's box with his camera.

Tao Xi didn't care when he saw this scene. After all, he got a meal for free. This kind of opportunity doesn't come around all the time.

"And what is Nightcrawler?"

"Aha, night stalkers, night stalkers are part-time reporters who often go to capture some illegal incidents at night!"

Marlon Mirius saw Tao Xi looking at him with his eyes when he heard the words "part-time reporter". Marlon Mirius quickly explained: "Don't underestimate us, we are just part-timers who work at night.

reporter!"

"Some good night crawlers are guests of major TV stations. After all, their morning news the next morning depends on our presence to increase their ratings!"

After hearing Malone's answer, Tao Xi did not stop chewing the expired biscuits in his mouth, but asked while eating: "Can anyone make Nightcrawler? And I don't think other TV stations have his own

Reporter?"

Marlon Mirez laughed out loud when he heard Taosi's two questions!

"Yes! Night walkers have no thresholds just like cleaners on the road!"

"As long as you have a car that can move and a DV machine that can shoot clearly, anyone can do it!"

"But there is only one life. You have to know that when we go to the first crime scene to record the content, there are probably criminals nearby, not to mention the victims who may have survived the attack.

!”

"We work with our lives!"

"And it's impossible for a TV station to support thousands of reporters who go out to collect news at any time!"

When Marlon Miris said this, he pretended to be fierce and said it in Tao Xi's ear in a tone that he thought was terrifying, but Tao Xi still stared at Marlon Miris expressionlessly.

After Malon saw Tao Xi's fearless expression, Malon suddenly felt a little frustrated.

When Tao Xi saw the depressed expression on Marlon Mirez's face, Tao Xi realized that he seemed to be pretending to be scared. Tao Xi quickly put the biscuits in his hand into his pocket and looked "scared"

Xiang Malong~

Seeing Tao Xi's appearance, Ma Long said to himself: "Is there something wrong with this kid's brain?"

But Malone soon shook his head and pushed aside the thoughts in his mind. After all, it doesn't matter if a teenage boy has a longer reflex arc: "Ahem! As for the reporters you asked about? How can those reporters go to every crime scene?

Are you all going?"

"You have to know that the crime rate in Los Angeles is as high as hundreds at night. If something is lost in the east, or neighbors in the west are arguing, they will call the police for these things. Do reporters from these TV stations go to every one of them?"

"They are only selectively reporting on the scene after we reported the tragedy of the scene to their TV station bosses~"

"After all, the TV station's ratings are like a sharp knife hanging over their heads!"

"Only if they choose the right crime cases to report can they possibly improve their ratings!"

When Tao Xi saw that Marlon Miris began to fiddle with his DV player after saying this, Tao Xi knew that the other party was preparing to see off the guests!

Tao Xi stood up consciously and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. I will convey your concern to my parents and my younger brother."

Marlon Mirius raised his eyebrows unconsciously when he heard Taosi's words. After Marlon Mirius looked at his co-pilot's box, Malone hurriedly smiled awkwardly:

"Okay! If we meet again next time, I will bring gifts to your parents."

"Thank you. If I have anything to do in the American-Australian community, I will call you."

When Marlon Miris heard what Tao Xi said, his originally embarrassed expression was suddenly filled with a smile: "Okay! Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, little guy!"

"If you can provide me with useful criminal information, I can give you 50..." Marlon Miris glanced at the five fingers he stretched out, and after a slight hesitation, they immediately turned into one finger.

Head: "$10 reward!"

Tao Xi looked at the commercial vehicle leaving with thick smoke in front of him and walked thoughtfully towards the distance.

Time passed like this day by day. As the Los Angeles Olympics approached, Tao Xi finally picked up the letter brought to him by Hill's agent at Lao Longer's newsstand~

It is more like a message on a piece of paper than a letter.

[Brother Taosi, after Mr. Williams learned that I was preparing to re-enter school and take the preparatory class, Mr. Williams not only bought me a clean set of clothes, but also arranged a job as a waiter for Marco.

Originally, Mr. Williams said he would visit you in person, but he was too busy, and Mrs. Williams had already quarreled with him several times because he often came home in the middle of the night.

I initially told Marco to persuade Mr. Williams to go home early, but Marco ignored me. If brother, if you have time, you can persuade Mr. Williams.

Marco and I are very good, and Marco has been helping me pay Mrs. Williams's meal bill every week lately.

Brother Tao Xi, don’t worry, everything is fine with us, and I have the confidence to face all exams.】

After reading the letter, Tao Xi rubbed his cheek with a depressed look~

"Hey! It seems that those lottery tickets must be redeemed quickly. If this continues, Mr. Williams and Mrs. Williams may get divorced because of me!"

"And Hill looks very confident in this preparatory exam."

Tao Xi actually understands the situation in Mr. Williams' family very well.

After Mr. Williams was released from prison, his wife spent all her money to help him get out of prison, something that Tao Xi admired very much.

But the problem that followed was that although Mr. Williams was released from prison, Mrs. Williams lost her job in order to let her husband be released from prison smoothly. Mrs. Williams used to be an accountant, but Tao Xi didn't know that because

For some reason, the unemployment rate in Los Angeles County has been very high recently, and Mrs. Williams has never found a job since.

Needless to say, Mrs. Williams, even many of Tao Xi’s “old friends” that he knew before have entered the “old business” again. Maybe Tao Xi will meet them when he goes to deliver cigarette butts again.

.

There is nothing Tao Xi can do about it~

So the core of the problem is that no matter how little Hill eats, the appearance of Hill still gives Mr. Williams, who is not rich, an extra mouth to eat in his family.

You know, Mr. Williams’s children should also go to school this year~

Hill doesn't understand this, but Marco, who has been hanging out with Tao Xi in the orphanage since he was a child, does!

So there was the matter of Marco working as a waiter to earn money for Mrs. Williams' food expenses. After all, according to Tao Xi's understanding of Marco, Marco, who was used to freedom, wanted to run around outside every day rather than go to the palace.

Go to work from nine to six, let alone carry someone else’s bag~

Opposite me, Old Long Er still looked lazy, but the theft case that happened to him some time ago did not have any impact on him. On the contrary, the theft case made Old Long Er's life much easier~

Tao Xi, who was touching his pocket, asked happily: "Grandpa Long'er, how much money do you need this time?"

After hearing what Tao Xi said, Lao Longer waved his hand and said without even opening his eyes: "Okay, okay, the money won't be needed. The money paid out by this insurance will definitely allow me to put down this damn unemployment wave this year."

Get through it!”

Tao Xi smiled when he heard what Lao Longer said and left~

However, after leaving, Tao Xi secretly made a decision in his heart. He decided not to come to Lao Longer's newsstand to pick up newspapers again, because Tao Xi felt that if he redeemed his lottery ticket today, he would come back to see him again.

I always feel sorry for Lao Longer, this little old man.

Yesterday, Tao Xi made an appointment with Nirta, who has been disappearing recently, and Nirta, a guy with no coins in his pocket, actually asked him to meet in a hot dog shop~

“Bob’s Hot Dog Shop~”

“Bob’s Hot Dog Shop~”

Tao Xi, who kept mumbling the name of the store and looking around, looked like a bumpkin from the countryside. However, Tao Xi with this appearance could easily become the target of some thieves. When some "three-handers" touched Tao Xi's pockets empty-handed

When they came out empty-handed, these "three hands" looked unhappy and took a sip of saliva before leaving.

When Tao Xi saw a store with a sign made into a hot dog shape, Tao Xi couldn't help but look happy after walking for a long time~

Tao Xi complained dissatisfiedly to Nilta, who was leaning on the door with his arms folded: "I don't know if you are sincere or not. I walked several blocks to have a meal with you!"

Nilta did not answer Tao Xi. Instead, she pinched his nostrils and looked at the "three hands" following Tao Xi's buttocks and said disdainfully: "You are a bunch of trash who fled from Mexico to California!"

"I don't even know that I was played with by a fifteen-year-old kid!"

"I learned these tricks from Bolton seven years ago. I'll make a bet with you. If you dare to reach out, believe it or not, Tao Xi will mail your fingers to Prison No. 86 for your boss to see.

Look what his men have become now!"

Tao Xi glanced at the expressions of the Mexicans behind him with interest, then shook his head and entered Bob's Hot Dog Shop.

Those Mexicans obviously knew Nilta, and they dispersed after whispering~

The business of Bob's Hot Dog Shop is not very good, there are not even any customers.

Standing at the checkout counter was a man who looked very similar to Nilta. When this man saw that Tao Xi was still a minor, he was obviously stunned.

"A bacon hot dog and polenta, thank you~" Tao Xi ordered these two things without even looking at the menu.

Nilta came in with a smile on his face and hugged the little brother who looked very similar to him standing at the front desk and said with a smile: "Listen to me and serve the food quickly. We are going to do something big this time. If this time

Once the matter is settled, your brother, I might open a hot dog shop for you near the American-Australian community!"

Nirta's brother couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard what his brother said and complained: "As long as you stop associating with those messy people, you can just come to my place every day and eat for free."

"Hey!" Nirta muttered with feigned displeasure upon hearing his brother's words and sat across from Tao Xi.

In fact, in a predominantly white community like the American-Australian community, Tao Xi was not surprised at all by what Nilta and his brother had just chatted about, because from when Tao Xi lived in the orphanage, he knew that racial discrimination existed in the United States.
