Vol 2 Chapter 25: Little trouble

"Hello, here it is ..."
"Listen! No matter who you are, tell my dear grandpa that I will be back soon in the afternoon! Don't worry about me!" Angela hung up the phone immediately, then turned around and stopped at the public phone, facing Large and small, looking at the girl holding her hands and spreading her hands, "Now it's alright, we can go."
Natalie can only shake her head about Angela's behavior, but she didn't talk much. She got on the thief ship anyway, and Scarlett agreed with Natalie very seriously after hearing the story in detail. Later, the true face was soon revealed.
"If I just show myself, I can dance, accompany Anji, sing in Nat, we all perform our duties; if we aim to make money, then let Anji sing, we will count the money on the side!" Scarlett in Hearing about Angela ’s plan, he said with a smile. She was less than 10 years old and much more daring than Natalie. Of course, you can say it was reckless, but she did n’t need to think about it in detail, did she?
"Okay, let's first determine the way down, and then find a place to sing." Angela waved, then looked down the New York River and the Brooklyn Bridge across it. The other side is Manhattan, on the subway line. The random invasion made them come here unintentionally.
The girl took out the map of New York that had been prepared, and unfolded it on a nearby bench. Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan were crossed by a thick red line on the map. "I was going to head northeast from the Pratt Institute of Art, but it doesn't matter if I come here now, I can still cross Queens into Manhattan, make a round and finally go home. This way we are at least three in New York. All the major areas have performed, what do you think. "Angela said on the map.
"Why don't you plan to walk from here to the Bronx while going around Manhattan, then back to Manhattan from here to Staten Island, and finally take a boat back to Long Island. Even if you can't perform in every district, but You have at least walked all over New York. "Natalie said at this time, since she was going to accompany her crazy. That's crazy.
Angela watched her wink and then clapped her hands happily: "I like the idea, how about you, Manny?"
"Of course no problem!" Scarlett nodded again and again, lest the world would not be confused.
"Go ahead!"
Although it is easy to say, it is not so simple in practice, such as:
"Hey. Little girl. You're standing in front of my shop!" This is a gentle old man.
"I said you can't change places? It's noisy enough here!" This is a middle-aged person without a good rest.
"Get out of here! This is my place!" This was a wandering hobo.
But even so. Can't stop the enthusiasm that Angela has accumulated in this past life. And most of the time. They are still very attractive.
The three girls took turns singing. Natalie is slightly conservative. Singing rarely. After all, she has always shown a good girl. Scarlett will be much more lively. They often sing while jumping. Although singing is a mess. It won a lot of applause.
Angela sang the least. Even when she was singing, she sang as much as possible. But talent is there after all. So the beautiful singing can always double the coins in the ground guitar case. Make Scarlett jealous.
More outrageously, a scout also found Angela and asked if she wanted to release a record or make a movie, after the girl refused. Still unwilling to persuade, even use you and Miss am very similar and so on, may be as popular as her, etc. Rhetoric hope to impress her, which made Natalie and Scarlett laugh at her for a long time.
"... I need your love, my God, quickly pass your love over to me!" After the end, several audiences applauded unanimously, "The Unrestrained Melody" was originally a classic song Although Angela is deducted with a female voice. But mediocrity doesn't work. So let many pedestrians stop and listen.
After the girl bent slightly to salute, people finally dispersed. Then the three began counting the coins in the box.
"... 98 cents, 99 cents, 1 dollar, wow, so far we have earned 4 dollars and 59 cents!" Scarlett said excitedly, counting the coins.
"At least 70% was made by Angie." Natalie couldn't help pouring her cold water.
"But I also have a role to play," Scarlett said indifferently.
"Okay, we sang in Brooklyn, we sang in Queens, now go to Manhattan." Angela said, rolled up the coins and banknotes to Natalie, and put the guitar in the box. Up.
"Hey, miss, do you want to join a music party?" A lazy male voice came over at this moment.
Angela turned her head, and a young white man came to the front, not knowing his age, wearing a black leather jacket decorated with metal plates, a long nose loop on his nose, and an unpleasant smile on his face. Followed by two whites and two blacks not far behind.
The four were enough to wear a black leather jacket. One white man was wearing a soaring pink-colored cockscomb head, while the other had a mustache and had thick hair like a poodle, while both blacks were blue and white. The white cloth wraps his head, all with hippie smiley expressions, and at a glance you can see who they are.
The girl frowned slightly, and said with a smile, "Thank you, I don't think it's necessary." She said she turned and pulled Natalie and Scarlett away.
But the man then stood back in front of him and laughed and said, "Don't reject me so soon, ma'am, but we have been preparing for a long time, and there are many people participating. They are very, very fond of playing music. We communicate, and I think you look a lot like ... who is that? Oh, Angela Mason! We have a guy who looks a lot like Bon Jovi, how about, let's try it together? "
"Thank you, but it's not necessary. We just came out to play, it was just fun." Angela pressed the wide cow hat on her head. Pulled the other two girls around the young man and walked forward.
But the guy continued to stand in front of the mountain: "Don't do this, let's play together, I promise you will like it."
"Sorry. Sir, I don't want to get in trouble." Angela's tone started to get cold and bypassed again.
"Hey, girl, are you a fool!" The guy grabbed the girl's arm immediately, and the goose bumps spread from the place where he was caught, almost conditioned. Angela squeezed with a backhand, and her index finger and thumb were pinched in the elbow joint at the junction of the two bones with the eagle's mouth.
Unexpectedly, the man yelled, released his hand and held his elbow back, and several of his companions came over in surprise and hugged him.
"Damn bitch." The man was not physically harmed, and immediately hesitated, scolding and going forward, but one of the black people hurriedly stopped him: "Huck! Wait, Tucker, There are policemen! There are policemen! "
The man stopped immediately. Looking at the place where the black man was pointing, a patrol car was parked at the street not far away, and two white policemen leaned on the side of the car and looked around. The white man named Hawke gave Angela a hateful glance, and finally left with his companion.
The girl didn't make a sound, pulled Natalie and Scarlett and turned and walked quickly toward the New York River, as if someone was chasing behind them, even walking a few streets, knowing that they could see the tall buildings in Manhattan. She suddenly let go of their hands, and then sat on the bench on the street with a big mouth and began to pant.
"Are you okay, Angie." The two girls ran so far with her. Although they were a bit tired, they were the first to comfort her.
"I ... I'm fine, are you two okay?" Angela rubbed her face and asked quickly.
"What will happen if you stand in front." Scarlett joked.
But Angela wasn't kidding. Don't look at her calmness just now. Fearful now, my legs were soft. This is the first time in many years that this has happened, even when it was 4 years old to run away from home.
"Are you really okay?" Angela glanced over Natalie and Scarlett, worried.
"I have to say, Angie, your mental quality is worse than Manny!" Natalie snorted.
"That is, do you think those people dare to do anything on the street, but there are police around him." Scarlett also shook her head again and then thought for a moment, and said suddenly with a narrowing: "nat, have you not found it? Will be harassed, it is because Anji is growing too fast. "
"Well, indeed, Angie seems to be almost 15 years old." Natalie nodded in understanding. "If she is younger, there will be no hippies to chat."
"Well, you two! If I were a little younger, the police would have come to ask long ago," Angela yelled, but she immediately understood and shook her head with a smile: "Okay, I'm fine, go now Manhattan. "She followed, adding:" We are on the street, not in places with few people. "
The other two girls shrugged in unison, but did not say much. The three crossed the Queens Bridge and entered the heart of New York. Although Angela said okay, she walked across several streets. There was no meaning to stop, his eyes always moved.
"Angie, we are going to Central Park ... hey!" Scarlett, who was talking, did not expect that Angela would stop suddenly and hit her immediately.
"What's going on, why didn't you stop and say hello!" The girl complained, but then she found that Angela was staring at a not far street intersection, which was different from the usual street intersection, a red brick and green tile The eaves of the eaves stood there, and although she could not understand the crooked fonts above, she still knew what it was: Chinatown!
