"Good afternoon Tom."
"Good afternoon Sunny."
At the entrance of the working tavern, I just ran into Sonny, who was also an adaptable student. Sonny greeted comfortably and enthusiastically. The two of them worked together for three months and became a good friend.
Sanny is of French descent, with long chestnut hair rolled up, not particularly beautiful, but she is young, only 19 years old this year.
It can be said that there are no ugly young women, and An Yi feels that this is indeed the case.
The two enter the door together.
I changed my clothes and cleaned up. In the afternoon, the guests were sparse. After the night, a large number of guests poured in, and the pub became noisy.
The tavern is a mixed place, there are good people, but there are also many bastards.
A guy drank too much. When he saw Sanny walking by, he grabbed her waist and pulled her on her lap, and she screamed.
The other drinkers saw this scene, but no one stood up to stop it, instead they all showed a smirk and watched the excitement.
An Yi saw Sonny's horrified look, and glanced at the tavern owner, and found that the tavern owner didn't look at this side at all, and continued to take care of the beer.
After working in the tavern for a few months, An Yi knew that the tavern owner was an asshole.
The boss turned a blind eye, but An Yi couldn't watch Sonny being molested. Although the drunkard could not be too much in the crowd, his behavior was already a great insult to a girl.
An Yi stepped forward and grabbed Sunny's arm, and pulled her out of the man's arms, "Go back." Sanny got out of trouble, gave An Yi a grateful look, and quickly ran into the back kitchen.
The girl was taken away by An Yi, and the guy who molested Sanny felt shaved, and was very upset. He stared at An Yi angrily, cursing in his mouth.
"Boy, are you going to die!"
"This is a pub, I want to find a woman to go elsewhere." An Yi replied coldly.
The people watching the crowd laughed.
He was preached by a bartender. The drunk felt offended and thought people were laughing at him. He picked up the beer on the table and swing it with ease.
An Yi dodged subconsciously, and was not splashed by the alcohol, only a little splashed on his body. He looked at this guy, An Yi turned around and left.
Being ignored by An Yi, the guy felt even more uncomfortable. The draught glass in his hand fell to the ground forcefully, and it suddenly shattered into countless pieces with a loud noise. An Yi turned and looked over, the man looked at An Yi with a sly smile, and said with a tilted mouth.
"Boy, I accidentally smashed the beer glass. Don't worry, I will pay the price. I don't have to do it now. This is your job."
After he said that, he pointed to the ground.
An Yi brought the broom from the stairway, but when he was sweeping the floor, the guy stepped on the broom and looked at An Yi defiantly. The drinkers around watched with interest what happened here, just as watching the excitement.
Suddenly, a violent mood rippled in An Yi's mind. After traveling through this world for half a year, An Yi's soul has completely merged with Hardy's soul, which has also changed An Yi's character. He originally has a calm personality, but after integrating Hardy's thinking, he became much wilder than before.
Looking up at the drunkard, the ease in his eyes became cold at this moment, and the man's expression was stunned, because he saw the strong murderous in the eyes of the young man in front of him, like being stared at by a tiger. This look made him feel Afraid.
But in the next second, he became even more irritated. How could he let a tavern boy frighten him? It made him feel shame.
"Boy, you dare to look at me with such a look!"
This guy drunk his head and punched An Yi round.
"Boom~!"
Before the drunkard's fist hit An Yi, An Yi moved, and hit the guy's chin with his fist. The guy was hit and flew out and hit the ground heavily. An Yi stepped forward, riding on the person, pinching the bastard's neck with his left hand, and hitting his face with a sturdy right fist.
After a violent beating, the guy was bleeding from his mouth and nose. The man was still struggling at first, but after a few punches, he collapsed completely to the ground and became like a dead dog. The boss hurried over to pull him.
"Tom, stop fighting, you will kill him like this!"
The people in the tavern looked at An Yi in surprise. He didn't expect that this seldom talkative adaptable student would have such a violent temper. If no one stopped him, he would really kill that guy.
It was not long before the police arrived. The man was taken to the hospital and An Yi was taken to the police station. He was then detained for assault and awaiting trial and sentence.
He was detained for about a week before the court opened.
In the court, An Yi's lawyer showed a certificate of mental illness, and several witnesses, including the girl Sunny, were found. Because the other party was at fault, the judge finally awarded An Yi to compensate the other party with three hundred and fifty dollars.
Indemnity plus attorney's fees, all of the comfortable retirement allowances were all used up at once, and even some things were sold, including the second-hand Colt revolver.
He was completely a pauper.
The job at the tavern was also lost. After all, it caused trouble for the boss. He went out to find another job. Everyone refused. The town is not big. People have heard of what happened in the tavern and knew that An Yi was mentally ill. In order to avoid trouble, no one wanted to hire him. Just got home, An Yi saw Sunny standing at the door of the apartment.
"Tom, thank you for helping me that day, and I also resigned, and I am going to leave Orange County."
Sunny said.
"Where are you going?"
"I saved some money during this time, and I am going to study."
"You are still young, you really should study, what do you plan to learn?"
"I am going to study law and become a lawyer or a judge in the future. It is because of what happened in the tavern that day that gave me this idea."
The girl said.
"A very good idea, I hope you succeed."
An Yi encouraged.
Sanny O'Connor looked at An Yi, then suddenly stepped forward and gave him a strong hug, then kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you again Tom, goodbye."
"Goodbye~!"
Looking at Sunny's back, An Yi doesn't know if she will see this girl again in the future. Many people are actually passing by in a flash on the way of your life, and they may never meet again.
Lying on the small bed in the apartment, thinking comfortably about how to live in the future, he may not be able to stay in Orange County. At this moment, the landlord came up and called him, and there was his phone number downstairs.
An Yi went downstairs to answer the phone, but he didn't expect it to be Bill. Bill and Hardy were once comrades in the same team, the best brothers. Hardy also saved Bill's life on the battlefield. He was injured in a battle. After he was injured, this guy retired directly and left a year earlier than Hardy.
Bill was very enthusiastic on the phone.
"Brother, I just learned that you were injured and retired. It was hard to find out your contact information. How are you doing now?"
"not good!"
An Yi talked about the previous experience and the current situation.
"I am now penniless and lost my job. To make matters worse, everyone here knows that I am mentally ill, and no one wants to hire me."
Bill laughed.
"It's no big deal, come to Los Angeles, there are a lot of ways to make money."
Just like that, I packed my things comfortably and set off for Los Angeles.
As soon as he got off the long-distance bus with his suitcase, Bill got out of a Ford next to him, came up and gave An Yi a bear hug. After the two separated, he looked at Bill. Bill had dark blond hair, clear blue eyes, and the typical short stubble with big cheeks, and ge look like Brad Pitt.
An Yi thought, Bill's full name is Bill Pitt. He is also surnamed Pete. Isn't it Brad Pitt's grandpa?
"Haha Tom, I finally saw you again."
Bill said happily, flapping his arm.
"We have been apart for almost two years, you are a lot fatter than before."
Peacefully patted Bill's back.
"I am strong or not fat."
Bill retorted. After he said that he took the suitcase in An Yi's hand and threw it into the back seat of the Ford.
