Rebirth in America

After Chuck finished recording the song, he immediately went out with his two buddies to celebrate.

He got an advance of $1,000 from Carpenter Records. With this money, the three of them can live a very comfortable life and go out to hang out in bars. This is their favorite place, whether they are performing on stage or in their free time, they will stay in the bar.

"Have a beer!" Chuck said to the bartender. He turned to his two companions and asked, "What do you want?"

"I want beer!"

"Me too!"

The three of them just sat by the wine cabinet, drinking one cup after another. They were drinking and commenting on the women in the bar. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the number of people was gradually increasing. The bar they chose wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. There were white people and black people in it. There are more white people than black people, and some white chicks are walking around, looking for their own prey.

"Hey, Chuck! Look at that blond girl over there, she's smiling at you." Drummer pointed in one direction, telling them to look over there.

Chuck and the pianist Johnson turned around and saw a blond girl wearing scantily clad clothes, exposing large swathes of her breasts, and her waist was extremely small.

"Boohoo!" They were so excited that they couldn't help but whistle.

Chuck even picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, preparing to go over and say hello.

Johnson, the pianist, stretched out his hand to stop her: "Don't go there, the white-skinned pigs here are all staring at that chick, be careful of getting in trouble."

Chuck is a flamboyant person who sometimes knows how to size up situations. But more often than not, he would be dazzled by alcohol and do stupid things, otherwise he would not be caught and imprisoned for 4 years.

"Don't worry, I'll be right back!" Chuck wanted to seduce that chick, he was a lustful person.

Chuck asked the bartender for another full glass of beer. He walked over with the beer, sat down next to the blond girl, and said, "Hi! Are you alone?"

The charming chick looked at Chuck, didn't seem too interested, and said, "Yeah! I'm waiting for someone."

Chuck knew he might be kicked out, so he said, "Can you believe it, I'm a singer! You'll be able to buy my records in the store in a few days."

These words immediately interested the blonde girl, and she asked: "Really? Are you a singer? I don't think so!"

Chuck stood up immediately and said, "Then I will go up and sing a song for you, and you will know whether I am a singer or not."

"Okay, okay! Come up and sing to me. I'm bored to death just sitting here."

Chuck then ran to the stage of the bar. At this time, someone was already performing on it, and he was moved by his words. Of course, it is inevitable to forcibly give the opponent a few banknotes. Mr. Franklin's words are the most persuasive. In front of him, most people will bow their heads and compromise.

"Ahem! I, I'll come up and sing a song for the lady sitting over there. I hope she likes it!" Chuck said as he approached the microphone, and at the same time he motioned to his two partners in the audience to come up and help him.

Drummer Bi and pianist Johnson had no choice but to come up. They each picked up their instruments and got ready. At Chuck's signal, he began to accompany him with the song.

Chuck himself also picked up a guitar and played it, and his stage performance looked very crazy, as if he was a different person. If Alex saw this, he would definitely think that Chuck had taken drugs, otherwise how could such a crazy person appear.

When he dances, he likes to half squat and twist his waist and legs. This is a dance step that no one else has seen, but people who watch it will be deeply affected by it. Chuck was playing, singing and dancing on the stage. After twisting his waist for a while, he pretended to be a duck again and walked left and right on the stage.

Seeing this funny dance move, many people were made to laugh, and that little girl was no exception. She laughed so loudly that she almost choked.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

After Chuck finished singing, he jumped off the stage. He came to the blond girl and said without breathing, "How about it? I can sing well."

"Haha! You sing well and dance even better!"

The girl seemed to be hooked by Chuck. The two sat in this corner and whispered, and soon got up and left. Chuck walked away with his arms around the girl's waist. Before he left, he motioned to his two partners to pay for themselves and that he was going to find a place to rent a room.

"I'm FUCK! This guy really values ​​sex over friends. It's a shame that we supported him so vigorously just now." Drummer Bi felt indignant when he saw Chuck being so unloyal and eating alone.

Pianist Johnson has long been used to it. He said: "Who taught him to be smooth-tongued and sweet? He also knows how to sing and dance to make people happy. Of course some girls like it."

Drummer Bi took a sip of his beer and said, "What should we do? Just go back to the hotel."

Pianist Johnson shook his head and said, "Go back by yourself, I have somewhere to play."

Finally, the drummer was left alone and went back to sleep. After several hours, the pianist Johnson came back first. But when it got daybreak, Chuck didn't appear.

"Hey! Have you seen Chuck?" Drummer Bee asked.

Pianist Johnson shook his head. He didn't see Chuck either. They waited until after nine o'clock, but still didn't see Chuck. At this time, they knew something might have happened, but there was nothing they could do.

Just as they were considering whether to call the police, the phone rang.

"Hey! Are you Chuck's partners?"

"Yes, we are Chuck's friends. What can you do?"

"Then hurry up and prepare $10,000, otherwise, you will only see his body."

The two were shocked when they heard this and asked questions quickly. It turned out that Chuck was caught and raped in bed. That girl was the doll of a local gang boss. He, a nigger, dared to touch her, but someone in the bar tipped her off, and then tragedy struck.

After the boss caught Chuck, he didn't scold the chick. I just felt very unhappy that my belongings had been tampered with by a nigger. So he beat Chuck severely and then demanded $10,000 in mental damages from him.

"You nigger, you actually fucked my woman! If you don't have 10,000 yuan, then just wait for death."

The boss's request was quickly handled by the younger brothers. Of course, they failed to find 10,000 yuan on Chuck. From Chuck's mouth, I learned that there were two partners, so I found the drummer Bee and the pianist Johnson. Then I found the hotel's phone number and called them.

$10,000! How could they possibly get it out at this time? Even if they bought them, they wouldn't even have that much.

"What should I do? What should I do!" Drummer Bi remembers running around in circles. His forehead has begun to sweat, and he knows that the other party is not threatening.

This era was when racial discrimination conflicts were at their most intense. White people formed the Ku Klux Klan, looking for black people who violated apartheid policies. They hung these black people up and beat them, and even burned them at the stake. There are often reports like this, and there are even more reports that no one has discovered at all.

"Calm down! Don't worry yet!" Johnson, the pianist, was also nervous, but he quickly calmed down.

"How can we not be anxious? If they kill Chuck, there is nothing we can do. This kind of thing is not uncommon, it happens every day. White people kill black people, black people kill white people. You kill me, and I kill you. "Killing and killing." Drummer was about to collapse. Someone in his family died in the racial conflict.

Before the 1960s, there were constant racial conflicts between blacks and whites in American cities. The largest conflict was the 1917 conflict in St. Louis, during which 312 houses were destroyed, 48 people were killed, and more than 100 people were injured. There are also similar incidents that have broken out in more than 20 cities including Chicago, Washington, Omaha, Charleston, New York City, and Detroit.

So many conflicts occurred because of the great migration of black people from southern rural areas to the country, especially to major cities in the north. Faced with the influx of black people, the white people in the lower class of the city were panicked and worried that black people would threaten the lives of white people in terms of housing, employment and education. method, so they repeatedly excluded black people in the way of Baoli.

"Let's find Alex. Isn't he our boss? Since the other party's boss wants a ransom, let our boss talk to them." Pianist Johnson thought of a way.

Drummer Bi was a little worried. He said, "Look for Alex? Will he help?"

"If you don't look for him, then who should we look for? Should we look for the police? The only person in this city who can help us is Alex."

The reason why the three of them, Chuck, were willing to hang out with Alex was because they could sense that Alex did not reject black people like other white people in his heart. Sometimes, a look or an action can reveal people's inner thoughts. As black people, they are even more sensitive to this aspect.

Soon, Alex received a call for help from the pianist Johnson. After hearing this, Alex was shocked.

"Just wait, I'll get the money right now. Tell those people first and we'll give them the money."

The money in Alex's hands was all saved, some of which were tips from performances, some of which were pocket money given by his family, and some of which he secretly intercepted. The money is for starting your own business. Even if you don't need it, you will feel at ease if you have money in hand.

He thought for a while, took 20,000 yuan, wrapped it in oil paper and put it in a backpack. Twenty thousand yuan is already a huge amount of money for ordinary families. At this time, many families only earn a few thousand yuan a year.

Drummer Bee and pianist Johnson soon waited for Alex to arrive, and they quickly explained what happened in detail. After learning the other party's exchange address, I rushed over immediately.

A total of three people came from the other party, and the one standing in the middle seemed to be their boss. The other two were holding Chuck. They saw that there was actually a white child among the people who came to pay the ransom, and they were very surprised: "Why did you get together with these niggas?"

Alex frowned and said, "This has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and get the money and hand over the person."

When they saw Chuck with a bruised face and unconscious face, they were very angry, but they had no choice but to hand over the money in their hands.

"Wait!" The black boss over there suddenly stopped and said, "I can teach you, but I want to chop off one of his fingers. It will be used to punish him for touching my woman! In case he forgets it in the future. .Hahahahaha!”

Drummer Bee and pianist Johnson were both shocked when they heard this. Drummer Bee said: "You, why are you so untrustworthy? We have already given you 10,000 yuan to teach you. You even want to chop off your fingers!"

They all know that fingers are equal to life to Chuck. If there are no fingers, he will no longer be able to play the guitar. Pianist Johnson almost rushed over, but was stopped by Alex.

Just when they were about to take action, Alex said: "You really want to chop off his fingers? I am willing to spend another 10,000 yuan to buy his fingers. As long as you don't hurt him and teach him a complete lesson, this 10,000 yuan The block is yours.”

As he spoke, Alex showed them the remaining 10,000 yuan in his hand. His words had an effect, and the people on the other side immediately stopped and looked at their boss.

The boss thought for a while and said: "10,000 yuan is not enough, it must be 50,000 yuan!"

Alex shook his head, UU reading www. uukanshu.net said: "Here are 10,000 yuan. Do you want it? If you dare to chop off his finger, I will use the 10,000 yuan to buy a finger for each of you!"

After hearing this, the other party's expression changed drastically and became uncertain.

"Especially you!" Alex looked at the boss and threatened: "I want to buy one of your hands. If 10,000 is not enough, I will spend 20,000 or 30,000..."

The boss said harshly: "Then I will snatch your money now and kill you all!"

Alex was not afraid, he sneered: "You can try it. When I came out, I had already greeted my family. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, your whole family will suffer!"

By this time, they had already seen that Alex was not a child from an ordinary family. I didn't know if the other party was threatening, so I felt a little nervous.

"Then how do I know if you will go back and kill us all after rescuing people?" one of them asked nervously.

Alex smiled. He knew that the other party was starting to waver. He said: "These tens of thousands of dollars are nothing to me. Originally, it would be nothing to give you 50,000 dollars. It's just that you need to have credibility as a person. You don't have to say anything." Credit, then I don’t need to tell you.”

In the end, they gave in, took 20,000 yuan, and handed over Chuck obediently.

Alex and the others rushed Chuck to the hospital for doctors to give him first aid. It wasn't until the next day that Chuck fully sobered up. When he learned what happened, he said nothing. But from now on, he would do whatever Alex asked him to do.
