Chapter 294
People come and go on the streets, a bustling scene.
Bai Lina sat on a bench in the central park, staring blankly at the passing pedestrians. All eyes were blond Europeans, and only occasionally one or two Orientals could be seen.
Raising her hand to look at a string of bracelets on her wrist, Bai Lina's eyes were full of longing. The bracelet was given to her by Brother Su that day. He said that this bracelet could protect her when she was in danger. Although she doesn't believe that the bracelet really has such a magical effect, she really likes this bracelet.
Gently stroked the jade beads on the bracelet, Bai Lina's eyes were full of sadness. She intends to send the bracelet back to Brother Su. Although she is reluctant, she will feel even more sad if she keeps the bracelet. As long as she looks at the bracelet, she will miss Big Brother Su more and more, and she is afraid that she can't help but run back to see Big Brother Su.
"Hello! Are you from China?" An oriental man walked up to Bai Lina and looked at her with a smile.
Bai Lina looked up at the oriental man. He had a model-like figure and was very handsome. He was a man full of charm.
Looking back, Bai Lina looked down at the bracelet on her wrist again. She is not in the mood to talk to anyone now, let alone this is a foreign country.
"Miss, I'm a painter. I just painted you a painting. I came here to give it to you." The Oriental man smiled and took out a painting and handed it to Bai Lina. The reason why he painted Bai Lina, apart from the fact that the other party is from the East like him, is the kind of temperament she exudes, which is quiet but full of melancholy and sadness.
Bai Lina looked at the picture scroll handed over by the other party, hesitating whether to take it or not. She didn't know the other party, how could she accept the other party's painting for no reason, but he said it was painted on it, and she wanted to see it again. Or take the painting over first and pay the other party money.
Thinking of this, Bai Lina reached out and took the other party's painting, "Thank you!" She took out ten dollars and handed it to the other party.
The Oriental man shook his head, "I painted you because you are from the East like me, not to earn your money." After he finished speaking, he smiled and walked towards the painting booth not far away.
Bai Lina retracted her gaze and opened the painting in her hand. The painting was very vivid, almost all her characteristics were drawn. With a sigh, she rolled up the painting and put it in her bag. It turned out that even outsiders could see her unhappiness.
Standing up, Bai Lina walked over to the oriental man's painting booth and put ten dollars on the painting tools he had piled up. Although she has just come to the United States, she knows that it is not easy for the Chinese to live in the United States.
"I said I won't take your money." The Dongfang man picked up the money and handed it back to Bai Lina.
Bai Lina shook her head, "I don't have the habit of accepting other people's things for nothing." Especially things from strangers.
"He's there, grab him!" As this voice sounded, I saw three tall Europeans running towards the painting booth.
When the Dongfang man saw the three, his expression changed immediately, he got up and ran away. Seeing that Bai Lina was still standing there, he stretched out his hand to hold her and ran towards the front.
"What are you doing? Let me go, I don't know you." Bai Lina wanted to break free from her hand, but the other party was pulling too tightly, so she could only follow the other side and run forward.
"Those people are here to ask for debts. I'll let you go when I'm in a safe place." The Oriental man pulled Bai Lina around and ran into a street with the words 'Chinatown' written on it.
As soon as she entered this street, Bai Lina immediately felt as if she had returned to China. There were yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese people everywhere, as well as various Chinese restaurants. The words on the billboards on the street were also Huaxia. arts.
She heard from her aunt that there is a Chinatown in the United States, and she planned to visit in two days, but she came here in this way.
The Oriental man pulled Bai Lina into a remote alley and hid at a hidden corner.
Bai Lina shook off the opponent's hand and was about to go out.
But he was dragged back by the Oriental man, "Don't go out, you will be caught by those people." He has been in the United States for several years, and he has also made a little money by painting.
But he has always been a little unwilling. He finally came to the United States, but he could only live by painting, which is different from staying in China. Once he chatted with an American friend he had known for a long time. After the other party knew what he was thinking, he told him that there was a place where he could make a lot of money.
So he followed the other party, but he didn't expect that the other party took him to the casino. He didn't want to gamble originally, but as soon as they walked to the casino, the girl who greeted the guests at the door gave him 100 chips and told him that these chips were given to the guests for free.
With the mentality of being free anyway, I went in and gambled a few times. I don't know if he was very lucky, or if the casino deliberately wanted him to win, he won a lot of money that time. It is precisely because of this that he developed the habit of gambling. More and more money has been lost. In addition to losing all the money that has been saved over the years, I also owe a lot of debt. Now even if you set up a stall, you are always paying attention to your surroundings, for fear of being found by those people. He really wanted to find a remote place to set up a stall, but there was no business at all in a remote place.
"What are they arresting me for? I don't know them." Bai Lina threw off the opponent's hand angrily and walked out of the alley. This person is really insane, they don't know each other at all, why are they dragging her away.
Just as she walked out of the alley, before Bai Lina could react, a sack was placed on her head, and then she was carried on her shoulders.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Bai Lina struggled and shouted, but it didn't help at all.
The Oriental man walked out of the alley, and one of the three Europeans stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, took out a hundred dollars and handed it to him, "Well done."
"Thank you!" The Oriental man happily took the money and put it in his pocket. He owed them a lot of money, and there was really no way to pay it off. When he fell into despair and thought he was going to die, his American friend found him. He told him that as long as he could complete the other party's task, not only would he not have to pay back, but he would also get paid every time. Such a good thing, of course he will not refuse.
So he deliberately painted some beautiful women on the street, and then brought them here by escaping, and handed them over to these people who were chasing after him, and his task was completed. Although he felt sorry for these women in his heart, he had to do it.
