The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

After dinner, Thor didn't have much time to hang out. He had to continue looking for work, because he knew very well that if he had no money to pay the rent, Loki would be very happy to throw him out with his luggage, and he Without divine power and weapons, he would definitely not be able to beat Loki.

Besides, compared to fighting with his younger brother, Thor felt that it would be faster to find a job to earn money to pay the rent.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. helped Thor obtain a legal identity, he has no academic qualifications or certificates, so he can only rely on door-to-door inquiries to find a job, and the only skills he has now are car repair and handling.

The more formal garages and warehouses also require work experience. Now Thor does not have a resume that can prove his work experience, so he can still only find jobs in Hell's Kitchen and the fringes of Manhattan.

He still wanted to find a job to repair cars, but the gathering area of ​​the garage was not far from where he used to work, Thor went around and returned to that area.

Originally, he wanted to try his luck at a few car repair shops at the end of that street, but just as he was about to walk in, Thor found a person lying beside the shed where sundries were piled up at the end of the street. .

Old White! What's the matter with you?! Thor hurried up, and he found that lying next to the pile of sundries was the old White who discouraged him during the day.

After Thor strode over, he realized that Old White had a wound on his face and was panting with difficulty. He walked over and helped him up. Seeing that Thor was about to take off his phone, Old White said: Don't...don't call an ambulance...

Thor hesitated for a moment, but put the phone back. Old White coughed twice: Cough...cough, I'm fine.

Thor helped him up and asked, What's wrong with you? How did you fall here?

I'm not down here, I... Old White tilted his head, his face was full of fear and resentment, he said: ...after you left, that bastard took his anger on me , he found two gangsters to beat me up and leave me here...

As he said that, he shook his head in confusion, and suddenly remembered something, struggled to sit up, and used his arms to dig out his pockets until he turned the inside of his clothes and found that it was empty, before he said: Okay , what hope am I holding on to? He really took all my money...

Old White froze in place as if he had been hollowed out. Thor shook him twice and found that he didn't respond. He took a deep breath and stood up, but was caught by Old White's hand, and Old White squeezed it from his mouth. Say a few words: No, don't... get involved with gangsters, they will kill you.

He began to make short breaths in his throat, and Thor squatted down again to let him breathe. Old White said, I knew he was a bastard, of course I knew, so I deserve it...

What he will do to Benjamin, he will do to us, Thor, listen to me, don't go, he will only treat you more cruelly, maybe he will pay for murder, there is nothing that bastard can't do...

Old White closed his eyes, his voice was dry like a saw cutting through wood, When he first opened a garage on this street, only I was willing to give him a job because he was notorious and I was very short of money.

He often deducts his salary and curses at every turn, but people like me can't help it. We made him a lot of money, but in the end it didn't end well. Maybe I shouldn't be here in the first place... ...

It's not your fault, Thor told him. It's all that bastard's fault.

Old White's grip became tighter and tighter. He said, This is my fault. If I hadn't insisted on buying a car for long distances when I was young, I wouldn't have lost all the money that Mary and I had saved. I will not let my son drop out of school because he has no money to pay the tuition...

Fortunately, cough... Fortunately, my grandson is very competitive... Old White said: He has very good grades, and the teacher said he can be admitted to New York University...

But...we can't even afford his living expenses.

Old White closed his eyes. Thor had never seen such a sad expression on anyone.

You should have fallen here because of some accidents, right? I can see... Old White tightened his grip on his hand, and said, You should have received a good education, or maybe, Are you retired from the military?

I can see that you are different from us. You still have courage, or strength, but we...

Don't talk about that, I'll take you to the hospital first. Thor knelt down and helped Old White up. At this moment, several voices came from the intersection: Go and see that old guy, don't let He died here, and if he was about to die, drag him to Hell's Kitchen, we don't have time to collect his body.

Thor turned around and saw a few people appearing at the intersection, including the owner of the garage. The boss saw Thor, widened his eyes and said, Damn it, how dare you come here?!

It's him! It's him who beat me up and robbed me of my money! Tell your boss, as long as you teach him a lesson, I'll give you double the reward!

Thor has no intention of questioning what he said, because the three gangsters behind him have surrounded him.

These three men are not as tall or strong as Thor, but the problem is that two of them have a gun in their hands.

These gangster thugs are not the owners of the garage, at least they have actually used guns, know how to hold guns with both hands, and know how to stabilize the center of gravity. Even if Thor can snatch one gun by surprise, he can't handle the other.

But Thor can only do that. He turned around and stood in front of White. The moment a gang member raised his gun, Thor rushed over. After successfully knocking down the gang member, one rolled over on the spot, and the other gun The flames flashed, and Thor passed by.

But before he could pick up the dropped gun, there was a bang gunshot, and a stream of blood splashed out. Thor turned his head and saw old White lying in a pool of blood in pain, even screaming. Can't come out, and the owner of the garage opposite is also holding a gun in his hand, he said: It seems that my marksmanship hasn't deteriorated much...

Thor's blood surged in an instant, his arms were shaking, and he rushed forward quickly, picking up the gun.

He didn't really use a human firearm. When he was groping for the reloading position, there was another gunshot, and Thor felt a sharp pain coming from his right shoulder.

Uh... Thor cried out in pain. Fortunately, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and his concentration was not disturbed by the pain. He staggered towards the debris pile on the side and avoided another shot.

At this moment, there was a sound of breaking through the air, followed by the sound of hitting a heavy object a few times. When Thor probed out again, he saw a figure with a cane appearing on the street.

Matt!! Thor yelled, Here! Come on! Someone's been shot...

You don't need to tell me, I smell it. Matt's calm voice sounded, and he walked to Thor's side, only to realize that Thor was referring to someone else. Old White was shot in the leg and heard his gasping Frequency, Matt came over, half knelt down, put his hand on his chest, and said: call, call an ambulance.

But... Thor clutched his shoulders and said with great difficulty, He doesn't have the money to pay for the ambulance.

Is this the time to talk about this? Matt looked at Thor and said, You have to go to the hospital too, so hurry up and call.

When the ambulance came, the female nurse looked at Thor and said: Why are you again? And this...

Matt said to the nurse, Stop talking, here are two shooting victims, get them in the car.

When he arrived in the ambulance, Thor was still in the mood to chat with the female nurse. He asked, What's your name?

The nurse glanced at Thor, thinking that he was helping to save people, and still said: My name is Jane, Jane Foster.

Thor grinned, but spoke smoothly. Jane was a little surprised and said, You were shot in the shoulder, doesn't it hurt?

It hurts? It hurts. Thor was still full of air when he spoke, Well... But it's okay, it's nothing compared to the injuries I suffered before.

Jane was even more surprised. She asked, The injuries you received before? Could you... She looked at Thor carefully again, and said, Aren't you the kind of retired special forces?

Thor didn't answer. He knew that there was no need to explain his life experience in detail, but Jane was very curious. She had been a nurse for so long, so she could naturally see that Thor was not trying to be brave, but a real tough guy.

Hearing that Thor was injured and hospitalized, several Asgardians staying at S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't stay any longer, and came to visit them one after another. In order to prevent them from causing trouble, Hill also followed them.

When I saw Thor in the hospital, the bullets in his body had been taken out, and he was lying on the hospital bed. Fandral looked at Thor's wound and said, Fortunately, it's not serious. The father of the gods can't even recover. If he didn't leave it to you, isn't he afraid that you will be hurt?

Thor shook his head and said, Help me go to the ward next door. There is a patient named White. Let's see how he is doing.

White? Who's that?

It's...an old man, an unfortunate person. Thor swallowed, touched the wound on his body, and took a breath of cool air.

After the other three had left, Sif sat down by Thor's hospital bed and said, You look a bit decadent, why? I don't think a little wound could turn Asgard's bravest warrior into this. .”

...Small wounds? Maybe yes, it's nothing compared to the wounds I suffered in Sagittarius. Thor closed his eyes half-closed and said, But I'm an Aesir, and old White is just an ordinary person , a human without any special abilities, he was also shot in the leg, it should be very painful.

Why did he get this kind of injury? I don't know... Thor said to himself, while Sif just listened quietly.

He wasn't a general, he wasn't a soldier, he didn't fight, he didn't commit any crimes, but he was going to suffer.

The people who hurt him are his kind. If anyone dares to do this in Asgard, I will definitely...

Speaking of this, Thor closed his eyes and was silent for a while, he said: Why do human beings do this? I can't figure it out, obviously their lifespan is already very short, why should they spend time harming their own kind?

Why did the owner of the car repair shop do this? I can't figure it out either. There is no reason for his viciousness. He is attacking everything around him crazily. I have never seen such a person before...

Sif poured Thor a glass of water and said, The universe is so big, I don't think it's surprising that such people exist.

Her voice was very peaceful, like a solemn divine voice. After changing into casual clothes, the Valkyrie's tough temperament weakened a little, replaced by the solemnity and sacredness common to Asgardian goddesses.

Are you disappointed? Sif asked Thor: Do you think the people on Earth are not worth saving? Do you think that even if you save them, they will still kill each other?

Thor pursed his lips and didn't speak, but obviously, he acquiesced to Sif's statement. He has been eager to get back his divine power and weapons because he thinks it is the glory of Asgardians and he wants to Return to Asgard as soon as possible to fight and protect.

But now, he began to doubt all of this. After he was deprived of his divine power and weapons, he seemed to be unable to do anything. However, the earth in the nine kingdoms that he wanted to protect urgently before, these people took pleasure in hurting their companions every day.

It was as if, neither who he was before, nor what he had done, meant anything.

Maybe you didn't realize, Thor, years of fighting have changed you. Sif looked at him, and Thor saw that there was some emotion in Sif's eyes.

You always think about the results of killing the enemy, victory and honor. Of course, this is a question that a warrior should think about, but you will not only be a warrior...you will also be the king of Asgard.

As a king, what you have to see is not only the result, but also the reasons that caused it all, and the process of their occurrence. What you can rely on is not only your powerful force, but also...

Sif pointed to her temple, and Thor looked at her. When the two looked at each other, there was only a slight sound in the room.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the clouds drifted across the sky, making the moonlight a little dim. After a long time, there was a sigh from the ward, which sounded like a heroic soldier mourning, and also like a young king thinking about it.

The monthly ticket activity has started. Authors can set an expected number of monthly tickets for their works, and there will be rewards after they are achieved. The reward I set is to add a new chapter, but the goal is 10,000 monthly tickets (unfinished, so there is no need to add more , hee hee hee~)
