    ?

    ? As the spring break approached, Xu Xiangxuan and his tutor went to Chicago to attend an academic conference.  The venue of the meeting was at the University of Chicago. Xu Xiangxuan planned the itinerary and booked the hotel early.  Xu Xiangxuan heard that the University of Chicago is located in the south of Chicago. Although the campus environment is good, it is surrounded by low-income black communities and is known for its poor security.  Xu Xiangxuan is tall and powerful, and he is not afraid, but for the sake of personal safety, Xu Xiangxuan, who has always been cautious, still prepared personal insurance money.

    By coincidence, Yi Sisi's community organization went to Chicago to do volunteer work.  Yi Sisi followed a group of American friends and took a medium-sized van to Chicago, the third largest city in the United States.

    Laughing and laughing all the way, American friends are crazy and noisy. Whenever going down a steep slope, more than a dozen people in a car raise their hands high above their heads, waving their hands and cheering. Even the driver let go of the steering wheel and raised his hands.  rise.  Suddenly seeing the driver's actions, Yi Sisi screamed and broke out in a cold sweat.

    Driving into downtown Chicago, Yi Sisi was as amazed as Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.  Yi Sisi grew up in a city in central China and is no stranger to the cityscape. However, the truly international metropolis really makes Yi Sisi feel awed.

    The skyscrapers lined up make people as small as ants, while the green and clear Lake Michigan and the clear and winding Chicago River make this sharp city suddenly soften.

    A group of people lingered in Millennium Park; grimaced in front of the giant broad bean statue; held their breath under the stunning Tiffany crystal dome in the cultural center

    Yi Sisi also bought a sports cap at the Chicago Bulls store, and the traditional horse-drawn carriages on the street also fascinated Yi Sisi.  Chicago is like a rich, clean, and restrained gentleman, who can feel the strong cultural atmosphere just by walking the streets.

    The first day of coming to Chicago was spent in this way. In the evening, everyone reluctantly left the city and went to a church in the northern suburbs to gather.  There were no extra beds in the church, so everyone brought sleeping bags to rest.  Before going to bed, Yi Sisi kept telling Annie about her love for this city, and felt that this place was a hundred times stronger than the remote, quiet and smokeless Lincoln "big country".

    Annie told Yi Sisi that what she visited today was just the best part of the city. The next day, the volunteers will go to the south side of Chicago, where it will be a completely different scene.  Annie also told Yi Sisi some safety precautions, but Yi Sisi was a little tired and didn't listen to many words.

    The content of this volunteer activity is to deliver food to the homeless.  We wandered the streets in groups, each group distributed 9 food bags, chatted with the homeless, and prayed together, may God bless them.

    Going from the north to the south is like stepping from heaven to hell.  The streets are extremely dirty, garbage is everywhere, and the lawn seems to have not been trimmed all year round.  People in ragged clothes, smoking and screaming walked by from time to time.  Yi Sisi couldn't believe that she was in the same city¡ªChicago, too.

    The awe and longing that swelled yesterday are like colorful soap bubbles, which will shatter at the touch of a touch, leaving only disappointment and contempt¡ªwhere there is sunshine, there must be shadows.

    The skinny old man with white beard tremblingly stretched out his hand from his empty cuff, and accepted Yi Sisi's food bag.  He said to Yi Sisi: Thank God for sending you as an emissary to bring me food.

    The puffy black old man who was selling flowers at the exit of the parking lot warmly held Yi Sisi's hand and said, "I used to drink and do drugs. Then I had a family, and my wife taught me about God. My past was too sinful.  But God will still forgive me, although I can't make any money from selling flowers, but I finally earn my own living and don't need to repent all the time."

    Yi Sisi's food bags were all distributed soon. At this moment, a young black man with a very bad complexion, bloodshot eyes, and weak feet stepped forward.  Seeing that he had no food to hand out, Yi Sisi felt a little apologetic, thinking that the young man must be seriously ill, and suddenly overflowed with sympathy, took out his wallet, took out five dollars and handed it to him.

    The man didn't thank you, and walked away with weak steps.  Yi Sisi's American companion was distributing food at the other end, suddenly saw Yi Sisi's behavior, and said with some reproach: "Sisi, you shouldn't have given him money just now."

    Yi Sisi was very confused: "That man seems to be sick, so pitiful."

    "He is not sick. Judging by his appearance, he should be taking drugs. If you give him money, he will definitely not buy food. Five dollars is enough for him to smoke once."

    Yi Sisi turned pale with shock, completely unaware that she would meet an addict.  Thank you again and again, saying that I will never make such a mistake again.

    It never occurred to Yi Sisi that her unintentional actions would lead to unintentional disasters.

    It was evening, and a group of three volunteers chatted about their experiences just now, and went to stop.Go in the direction of the field.  Passing by a dilapidated clock tower, an American friend of Yi Sisi was very interested in the clock tower and wanted to climb up to experience it. Yi Sisi looked at the mottled, dilapidated and decayed scenery, but couldn¡¯t arouse any interest, so he went in for a stroll.  circle, he offered to wait for the other two outside the door.

    After a day's work, Yi Sisi felt a little tired and stood outside the bell tower with her eyes closed.  Suddenly, Yi Sisi felt a gloomy atmosphere approaching her. When she opened her eyes, she saw three black men wearing dirty hoodies with aggressive faces striding towards her.

    At this time, the correct approach should be to throw the cash on your body in front of them, and then run away quickly.  Ke Yi Sisi had never encountered such a scene before. He wanted to turn around and enter the clock tower to find a partner, but unexpectedly ran away in a panic and strode in another direction.

    Those three people were originally idle punks, and they often intimidated and robbed the neighborhood near the University of Chicago on weekdays.  On this day, the three of them happened to see Yi Sisi opening his wallet and taking out $5. For a moment, they thought that Yi Sisi was a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and followed them all the way to the bell tower.  Yi Sisi happened to be alone, so there was no reason to give up the fat sheep.

    The three of them followed Yi Sisi calmly, and Yi Sisi suddenly recalled the correct way to do it when he encountered a robber, so he turned around boldly, and the three were exactly one meter behind.

    Yi Sisi leaned back, took a few steps back, took out her wallet, threw it viciously into the distance, glared at the three of them subconsciously, turned around and ran away.  One of the robbers flew to the wallet, and the other cursed: "f*ck, asian chick (f*ck, Asian chick)." He chased after him again.

    The black robber was far away before and didn't see Yi Sisi's face clearly. When he got a closer look, he turned out to be a stunner, especially the beautiful eyes that were mixed with anger, fear and disgust, which were indescribably vivid and bright.  Originally, this day was cloudy, and it was late, the sky was dark, and there were few people in the vicinity, the robber suddenly became lustful, and caught Yi Sisi in two steps at a time.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
