Beauty Man: Infinite Possession

Chapter 34 Daddy's Barber Shop【For collection, recommendation】

"It should be here."

Stop in front of a slightly old shop.

Li Ran looked at the barber shop in front of him, and made a judgment based on his vague memory.

"Hey boy, this is not the place for a person of your color to be."

A kind old black man wearing a straw hat walked behind Li Ran and came to the door of the barber shop: "Although the law and order in Harlem is much better than before, it is still very dangerous for an Asian like you to walk on the road." There is a high probability that they will be targeted for robbery, especially those punks who are doing nothing all day long."

"I've already seen it."

In this regard, Li Ran couldn't help but nodded, and replied with the expression of someone who had come here.

He did see the punks the old man said, but the final result was slightly different from what the other party said. The punks didn't rob him, but he successfully robbed them.

"is it?"

The black old man turned his head and glanced at Li Ran, looking at his sloppy sweatshirt and broken sneakers.

"I'm sorry, kid. I'm sorry that this happened to you in Harlem." The old man obviously misunderstood something, and comforted Li Ran: "But this is life, isn't it? It can't always be smooth sailing. Frustration will make you grateful when happiness comes."

After a period of rap full of chicken soup, the old man turned around and took out the key to open the store door.

After a pause, he turned around and invited Li Ran who was standing at the door of the store: "Well, son, come in. Although Dad can't change your experience, he can at least change your hairstyle. Of course, the most important point is not TOLL."

Although the contact process was different from what Li Ran thought, but since the other party sent an invitation, he naturally followed the old man's invitation and walked into the barber shop.

"I usually don't cut my hair for free, so at least in Dad's barber shop, you are already on the same level as Ali and Jordan."

Pointing to the paper on the wall, the old man turned his head and joked to Li Ran.

Li Ran looked in the direction of the old man's finger, and he saw that there were many names printed on the paper, such as Muhammad Ali, Nelson Mandela, and Richard Roundtree, all of whom were well-known figures among black people. .

Let Li Ran do it in front of the mirror in the barber shop, the old man turned around and opened the curtains in the shop, turned on the TV and tuned to the basketball program, then walked behind Li Ran, and looked at his long hair: "Speak, son, What kind of hairstyle do you want, let me explain in advance, although I have cut hair for countless people, but this is the first time for an Asian."

Sitting on the chair in the barber shop, Li Ran became a little uneasy when he heard the black old man's words.

Although the face he is wearing now is not his own, but if the hairstyle is too frustrating, it will also affect the image of the character.

"How about just simply washing your hair?"

Thinking of this, Li Ran couldn't help asking the old man carefully.

"..."

Standing behind, staring at Li Ran silently for a while, the old man suddenly clapped his hands and laughed a few times, then shook his head: "Haha~ Lie to your child, believe in the old man's craftsmanship, I will definitely sort out a cool one for you. Your dazzling hairstyle will make all the girls on the street fall in love with you."

Hearing what the old man said, Li Ran's heart was not relieved, but even more panicked.

……

"Hey, Henry."

Carrying the chessboard into the barber shop, Bobby Fish, a regular customer with a goatee, looked up at Li Ran who was sitting in the barber shop.

Although there are many Asians in New York, it is still rare to see a yellow person with a different skin in a black gathering place like Harlem, especially a new face that has never been seen before, and it is still in In a barbershop where there are obviously black activities like Papa Henry Hunter.

Because, generally speaking, ethnic groups with different skins have their own areas of activity.

"Hey, Bobby." The old man replied while surrounding Li Ran with scissors to cut his hair.

"Have you heard?" Bobby asked Henry in the shop after placing the chessboard in his hand near the window of the barber shop.

"what?"

"Martin and the others were beaten up."

In front of the mirror in the barber shop, Li Ran couldn't help but raised his eyebrows when he heard this. If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be one named Martin among the group of black people he beat up before.

"Really." Turning the chair, he adjusted the direction of Li Ran in front of him to cut his hair. The old man named Henry shrugged immediately, but he was not at all surprised by this: "I have already warned Martin and the others, Everything can't be too much, otherwise there will be a bitter result sooner or later. Unfortunately, they have never listened to me."

"The times are different, Henry, your methods are outdated." Picking up a chess piece, Bobby casually replied.

"Rules never go out of fashion, because rules are rules."

Obviously, the old man didn't agree with this.

"Well, you're always right, Henry." Shrugging, Poppy dropped a pawn and replied.

"That's because I've made enough mistakes."

"Hey, Dad."

A black guy walked into the barbershop.

"Chico, you're late." Looking up at the time on the wall, Henry turned his head and said to the black guy.

"Sorry, Dad."

"So, go and change your clothes right now."

"You're always so softhearted, Henry."

"I have been ruthless for most of my life, and even went to prison because of it."

Although it was just a half-knowledgeable conversation, Li Ran still noticed some clues from the conversation between the two in the barber shop.

Obviously, the old man is also a person with a story.

"Dad, I need a..."

The barber shop opened by the old man is obviously a popular shop, and it has only opened in the morning, and there are already many customers patronizing.

Here, Li Ran sat in front of the chair and looked at his hair that was getting shorter and shorter, when he heard a slightly noisy sound from behind.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a staggering black man coming to Li Ran who was cutting his hair in the hands of his father, looking at the guy on the chair who was completely different from the guy in the barber shop.

"Holy shit, how could this be, I actually saw one in the barber shop..."

"Ahem, Shamik, you know the rules, swearing is not allowed in Dad's shop." Henry said, pointing to the swearing bucket of the barber's money.

"I know, but Dad, isn't the situation in front of you a bit too strange, a yellow...Asian would actually cut his hair in your shop?!"

"What's so strange about this, Shamik, how many years have passed since the blacks were liberated, and we can all be presidents, why can't there be Asians in Papa's barbershop?"

"Dad is right, Mrs. Connie's Chinese restaurant is the best proof."

"Luke, you're late too."

"Dad, you know, I haven't been getting enough sleep lately."
