The Yongan Pawn Shop of American Comics

Li Cheng doesn't have any lofty ideals and ambitions in his life, maybe he has? But that was a long time ago.

A long time ago, as soon as he was born, Li Cheng knew that the world he came to was the Marvel Universe. Captain America was a spiritual symbol in the United States in the 1990s. He had to shout like Captain America whenever he did anything. Li Cheng, a serf child, couldn't help but believe in the hard work, not to mention the overwhelming publicity.

There is no hesitation, no panic, and no shouting to the sky. How can we be the protagonist of Penghao? After all, for a person who is struggling to make ends meet and cannot even see tomorrow, the snapping of purple sweet potato spirits in the distant future is not that important.

I was a serf who was underfed, and was whipped more often than I was fed. I was a gangster, and it was never the leader who commanded the people who got knifed or shot. I was a homeless wanderer, I was falsely accused of stealing, and I was beaten for no reason. , it was more difficult than imagined for a yellow-skinned slave child to make a difference in the slums of the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. In fact, he had to do his best to survive.

Li Cheng would not imagine what kind of counterattack he would have as a time traveler. Perhaps he had imagined that it was extravagant hope. Extravagant hope was sometimes a kind of spiritual opium, which would make people weak. He could do anything in a slum. Just don’t make people feel weak.

A person's first real growth is probably the realization that no matter how hard he works, he is just an ordinary person.

Hope cannot cure the emptiness in the belly, and the lack of hope for tomorrow drains the blood from one's chest. Li Cheng once became confused and was willing to hang out with gangsters until that person appeared.

No one knows Lao Pan's specific name, but everyone is used to calling him that. He was also born as a slave, but he is out of tune with the people around him. He was angry and restless. He would rather die than see people with black eyes and black hair living like animals waiting to be slaughtered. He also didn't want to see yellow-skinned children collapse into a puddle of mud before they grow up. .

His kindness and help added fuel to Li Cheng's hope. Who would want to live a better life?

That is probably Li Cheng's second growth. Even if he realizes that he is one of the ordinary, he must still fight with all his strength.

It's a pity that Lao Pan left, he left two years ago, and his departure was not peaceful. No one would feel too comfortable if he was beaten into pieces by the machine guns of the Youth Gang. What was left was a black market that had only been established for a short time, a group of people who still didn't stand up, and two sad guys.

Old Mike lost a close friend, and Li Cheng lost a mountain.

It's easy for people to leave, just pat their butts and leave. But debt will not follow people. Straighten your back and be a good person, straighten your spine and be a ghost. This is what Lao Pan often said. Lao Pan's back was straightened up, but the backs of these hundred or so people were still bent. Li Cheng was always angry. He was angry that Lao Pan was really not a toy and was always trying to trick him. Even if he left now, he would still be in trouble. And put this ass debt on him

In the evening, Betty came back very rarely, and had dinner with everyone. It was indeed chicken stewed with mushrooms, but no one said anything about eating one bowl and pouring another. They only made angry remarks.

Betty didn't know where she was from, and no one knew what she did before. She appeared in Ronghua Street a few months ago, looking for a way out. Betty looks good, but a long and narrow scar on her face ruins the overall beauty. However, it is a miracle that such a hot girl can appear in Ronghua Street. The only flaw is that she is too violent. , also, the fist is not strong enough, and it has been eaten up by Hell's Kitchen.

Ever since she beat up Li Cheng who was whistling at her with a baseball bat in ragged clothes half a year ago, Betty joined here and became the only paid front desk person in the small store of Li Cheng Yong'an Pawn Shop.

Although the food tasted good, it was obvious that this dinner was not very comfortable to eat. Li Cheng and Old Mike both had stupefied faces and ate the food at hand without saying a word. This made Betty and Mike, who were used to the usual warm atmosphere, Ajie was very uncomfortable.

Betty looked wildly at Ajie to say something, but Ajie just shrugged helplessly. He didn't want to go up and get shot at this moment. He didn't notice that the smell of gunpowder was so strong that it was about to explode.

"Betty, where did you go? If you hadn't come back, I would have thought you had absconded with the money." Li Cheng broke the silence with a dull face and kept picking up the food. Betty looked depressed. He might as well not have done it. Talking.

"By the way, Betty is quite capable. You've already come here, so what gifts do you bring?" her tone was a bit teasing.

She knew what Li Cheng was referring to. Anyone who kicked in the door with two guys with bloody heads would not be given a good look.

"I heard they stole your underwear? The melons haven't grown well. Why do you raise these things every day? Why do you think you just broke their heads? Logically speaking, you should kill them too. "Excuse me, this white-eyed wolf, if you beat him too much, he will become a dog." As Betty said, Li Cheng just looked at Old Mike.

There was obviously something in her words, why did it involve me? Betty's watery eyes were full of grievances. She looked at Ajie, then at the old godfather who lowered his head to eat. The rare little woman's posture shocked Ajie and dumbfounded him. , everything today is abnormal.

"Let's eat." The old godfather lowered his head, his voice pleading, but it was an unquestionable tone. The dining table fell into a long silence.

"I'll go with you tomorrow"

Li Cheng said this out of the blue.

The old godfather suddenly raised his head. This was the first time he had raised his head during this meal.

The tone of "Okay" was very calm, and the old man agreed without any surprise. After saying that, Old Mike stood up and walked away: "Well, I've eaten. Go to bed early. I'll call you tomorrow."

Li Cheng also threw down his chopsticks, stood up and left.

Betty looked at the two people leaving, sighed helplessly, shook her head and walked away: "The calories are too high tonight, I want to lose weight and burn calories."

Ajie was the only one left on the table with a bewildered look on his face, and he had just bitten off half of the meat on his chopsticks.

"No, they're all gone. What they said is incomprehensible. Why are the three of them so weird today?" Ajie muttered and continued to eat. It would be a waste not to eat such a delicious meal while it's hot.

Suddenly, Ajie put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and shouted: "I just realized it, Betty, don't pretend to me, you are still losing weight. After eating, go back to the house and lie down. How can you lose weight and still burn calories?" How about I arrange your cremation directly? Burn it quickly!"

"It's obviously your turn to wash the dishes today!"

"You have an opinion?! Say something else!!!"

"No, no, if you want me to wash the dishes, I'll do it. It's not like I don't wash them."
