"My man, do you still have beer? Let's have three big pills!" After eating, his appetite became clear. Zhao Daming saw the foreigner at the next table drinking beer, and couldn't help but take a few sips.

With the iced beer meal, the seafood barbecue tasted even more enjoyable. Just as the three brothers were having a good time drinking, they suddenly heard foreigners scolding people on the next table.

Luo Lie turned his head and saw a little beggar asking for food from the foreigners pitifully. Not everyone in the foreigners had a gentlemanly demeanor. The foreigners next to the table were very rude. They disliked the little beggar for disturbing them. Not only did they swear and curse, one of them also started to fight against the little beggar.

"Xiao Ting'er?" Luo Lie exclaimed, got up and rushed over, grabbed the wrist of the attacking foreigner, and protected the little beggar behind him. "Don't hit people! He is my friend."

The foreigner shook Luo Lie away, cursed and still wanted to take action, but the target was no longer the little beggar but Luo Lie. However, before Luo Lie could take action again, Qin Gang had already rushed over and slashed the foreigner's arm with a palm.

Fortunately, Qin Gang's palm did not cut it, and Qin Gang did not use all his strength. Even so, the foreigner was in great pain. The other two foreigners at the same table suddenly stood up. Before they could attack, they saw a black muzzle in front of them aimed at their foreheads.

"This is just a misunderstanding. Gentlemen, please don't be impulsive." Zhao Daming spread his arms, held a revolver in each hand, and said to the foreigner with a smile: "I think you must not want this wonderful night to be destroyed by the harsh gunfire, right?"

The two foreigners who were pointed at Zhao Daming's gun on the forehead were stunned for a moment, sighed, and sat down obediently. The foreigner who had eaten Qin Gang's palm lost his temper. He took out a stack of US dollars from his pocket, counted three dollars, put them on the table, and then left with two companions.

Luo Lie turned around, but the little beggar behind him had already run away with only a blurry back.

Zhao Daming put away his gun, shook his head slowly, and said, "That beggar is not Gu Ting, Luo Lie, you have recognized the wrong person!"

Qin Gang followed and said, "Brother Ming is right. We don't think that little beggar looks like Xiao Ting'er. If you don't say anything else, just say that the running posture is completely different from Xiao Ting'er."

Luo Lie sighed, smiled bitterly, and said, "If you don't eat well or drink well or sleep well for more than ten days, then I can guarantee that your running posture will be very strange."

For some reason, although Luo Lie firmly believed that the little beggar just now was Gu Ting, he still couldn't chase him out.

The hotel conditions were very average, and the comfort of the bed was even more average, but the temperature in Miami was neither hot nor hot at this time. Moreover, the hotel was located on the coast, and the vague sound of waves came, which made it feel more quiet. The more important reason was that Zhao Daming opened three single rooms and arranged Qin Gang's room on another floor. Therefore, for the three brothers, they slept quite steadily that night. Luo Lie did not suffer from insomnia. After eating the barbecue, he returned to the room, took a casual bath, lay on the bed and recalled the little beggar. As he thought about it, he entered his dream.

When I woke up the next morning, the three brothers had breakfast in the hotel. After checking out, they carried their luggage and walked towards the dock.

The nights in Miami are very quiet, with almost no pedestrians on the streets, but the mornings in Miami are very lively, especially in the docks, where people come and go, and the traffic flows endlessly, which is quite similar to New York twenty years ago. There are many people, and they naturally cannot walk fast, but fortunately, it is still early and there is more than an hour before the scheduled flight. The three brothers will naturally not be in a hurry. They slowly sway forward and then walk along to appreciate the unique style of Miami.

A sudden riot occurred not far ahead. Then, a thin figure emerged from the crack of the man, flashed in front of Luo Lie's eyes, and then got into the crack of the man. "Catch the thief! That kid is a thief!" English with a strong Moxico accent sounded in the crowd.

"You two go there first, I'll catch that kid back!" Luo Lie explained to Zhao Daming and Qin Gang.

Zhao Daming was just about to respond that Luo Lie should not meddle in other people's business, but Luo Lie was gone.

Qin Gang sighed: "Brother Luo Lie still can't let go of that boy Xiao Ting'er."

Zhao Daming responded with a wry smile: "But that guy just now was clearly not Gu Ting."

Qin Gang sighed again and said, "Who said no? Even someone with a clumsy eye can see it. Brother Luo Lie has such a good look, how could he not see it?"

Zhao Daming said: "No matter he is, when he catches that kid, he will naturally see clearly."

The boy was very flexible and thin. He was like a loach in the crowd. After a while, Luo Lie completely lost his target and could only return in disappointment and catch up with Zhao Daming and Qin Gang.

"Did you see clearly?" Zhao Daming held a cigarette and asked while looking for matches.

Luo Lie said regretfully: "I didn't catch up, so I let that kid run away."

Zhao Daming said: "That kid is a white man, how could it be Gu Ting?"

Luo Lie was quite dissatisfied and said, "That kid is so dirty, how can you tell that he is a foreigner?"

Zhao Daming said: "Have you ever seen a Chinese with blue eyes?"

Luo Lie recalled it, but was not sure if the boy had blue eyes.

Zhao Daming said again: "Also, this kid is not the same person as the little beggar yesterday. Although the clothes he saw were all torn, dirty and diarrhea, it is difficult to tell, but the pair of shoes on his feet are different. Yesterday, the little beggar was wearing a pair of sandals, but the boy just now wore a pair of cloth shoes. You said, he has become a wanderer, can he still have replacement shoes?"

Luo Lie sighed: "After you reminded me, I really realized that Brother Ming, you should observe carefully!"

Zhao Daming smiled and said, "It's not that I observed carefully, but that you are influenced by your mood. You can see that you are really thinking about Gu Ting in your heart. Therefore, as long as you have three points of similarity, you will believe it. Once you have such a subjective idea, then what you see and hear objectively will naturally be affected."

Luo Lie said: "You are right, Brother Ming, to be honest, I regret letting go of Xiao Gu Ting be released. He was still young and could only wander around Miami alone and couldn't go home. It was so pitiful. I shouldn't have let him go at that time, so I should have brought him back to New York."

Qin Gang interrupted, "Xiao Tinger grew up in Miami since she was a child. She is very familiar with Miami and will definitely survive. Besides, he is not young anymore, he is fifteen years old."

Luo Lie was a little unhappy and said, "No matter how familiar he is with Miami, he is a Chinese after all. In the eyes of foreigners, we Chinese are inferior nations. Xiao Ting'er is alone and will be bullied. Just like last night, no one will comfort him if he was beaten and bullied."

Zhao Daming said: "If you are a wolf, you love to eat meat, if you are a dog, you love to eat shit. Everyone has their own destiny. If Gu Ting goes the wrong way and follows the wrong person, God will not let him live. That's nothing. Luo Lie, you have done your best to him, so don't feel guilty."

Luo Lie shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly, "I can't help feeling guilty! Although there are not many people in Miami, there are nearly 50,000 people. We can't recognize each one, right?"

Qin Gang suddenly sighed: "That depends on fate!"

After walking through this bustling street, I turned a corner in front, and the pier was not far away. After turning the corner, the crowd was obviously sparse, and the three brothers accelerated their pace. In just three or five minutes, they arrived at the pier.

For some reason, the pier was not open, and tourists waiting to board the boat lined up in a long line.

Although the three brothers who came from winter to spring took off their cotton coats, they still habitually wore sweaters. At around nine o'clock in the morning in Miami, where the sun was rising, the temperature had risen to more than twenty degrees. Under the sunlight, the three brothers could not help but feel a little hot, so they found a shade by the roadside and waited for the dock to open.

At this moment, Luo Lie's expression suddenly sterned and he shouted in a low voice: "I seem to hear the voice of the little beggar last night!"

Zhao Daming couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you possessed?"

Luo Lie ignored Zhao Daming's jokes, walked a few steps towards the long line, and covered the sun with his hands, and observed carefully. After looking around, Luo Lie suddenly smiled and muttered: "Look where you guy is running!" Before he finished speaking, the person rushed out.

Under the shade of the trees beside the road, Zhao Daming lit a cigarette, shook his head and sighed: "Why is this Luo Lie so stubborn?"

On the other side of the long queue of passengers, a little beggar was begging for the passengers. Most of the passengers turned a blind eye to the little beggar, but he still met a kind-hearted passenger and took out his wallet. Just as the enthusiastic passenger took out a ten-cent coin from the wallet and was about to throw it into a torn felt hat held by the little beggar, the little beggar's expression suddenly changed, he threw the torn felt hat in his hand, turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

But it's too late.

Luo Lie rushed out of the gap in the team and caught up with the little beggar in just a few steps. "Are you still running? I see where can you run?" Luo Lie grabbed the little beggar's clothes and tied it.

The little beggar could not move, so he could only turn his head pitifully and beg, "Brother Luo Lie, you promise to let me go!"

Luo Lie had a bright smile on his face, but he had a vicious tone: "But I'm back now and don't want to let you go!"

The little beggar bit his lips and flicked his eyes. He was stunned for a moment, but finally couldn't help it and burst into tears.

Luo Lie didn't bother to be dirty, and held the little beggar in his arms and said, "Last night, you kid wore a torn felt hat, and the light was not good. I thought it wasn't really you, the little bald man. Fortunately, I met him again today. What Qin Dagang said was targeted. Whether you can find you depends on fate."

The little beggar cried and said, "Brother Luo Lie, I was wrong!"

When Zhao Daming heard the movement, he rushed over and saw the little beggar. He was stunned and said, "Are you really Gu Ting?"

The little beggar snuggled in Luo Lie's arms and nodded.

Zhao Daming said suspiciously: "It's only been half a month, why are you like this? Look at the torn clothes on your body..."

Gu Ting choked and said, "I was snatched by someone and I was beaten several times."

Having not shaved his head for more than 20 days, Xiao Gu Ting's bald head had already grown hair with fingernails. Luo Lie seemed to enjoy the feeling of being tied with short hair. He rubbed Gu Ting's head and joked: "You deserve it! Who asked you to deceive Brother Luo Lie? This is called retribution. Look, now you have fallen into my hands again. Humph, let's see how I deal with you."

Zhao Daming said: "Since your brother Luo Lie is unwilling to let you go, there is nothing to say. Brother Daming will buy you a boat ticket and go with us."

Gu Ting stopped crying, but there were still tears on his face, and nodded heavily.

Qin Gang was carrying his bulky luggage and moving slowly. He only rushed over now. When he saw Gu Ting, he said in surprise: "Xiao Ting'er, is it really you?"

Gu Ting said pitifully: "Brother Dagang, Xiao Ting'er has lied to you, you can beat me!"

Qin Gang laughed and said, "Why are we going to beat you? Brother Luo Lie said that if it weren't for you, how could Li Xilu be so easy?"

Luo Lie ordered: "Stop talking nonsense, quickly open the box and find Xiao Ting'er to change it. It's all right to wear mine or Da Ming Ge. Anyway, it's a few sizes bigger. When you arrive in Cuba, you will buy a new one for Xiao Ting'er."

Gu Ting actually became embarrassed and said, "Brother Luo Lie, can I change my clothes after getting on the boat?"

Luo Lie widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Oh, why are you shy, you little kid?"

Gu Ting bit his lips and looked at Luo Lie timidly, looking pitiful, but his eyes revealed stubbornness.

Luo Lie compromised and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't change, you won't change. You don't think it's ugly, and Brother Luo Lie doesn't think it's ugly either."

The dock finally opened, and the long queues began to squirm forward. Zhao Daming walked back panting and said, "The tickets for the first class and the special class are sold out, and only the ordinary cabins are left."

The straight line distance from Miami to Cuba is only 280 nautical miles. The sea route cannot be a straight line. It always needs to bypass some seas with reefs. Therefore, the flight sails at sea for a distance of 40 nautical miles more than the straight line. The speed of the cruise ship sails at sea is about twenty nautical miles per hour. The distance is so close that it does not require shore supply in the middle. In fact, there is no port shore that can provide supplies between the two ports, so it can only sail to the destination in one breath. In summary, the entire sailing takes about fifteen hours.

In other words, the cruise ship that sets sail at 10 o'clock in the morning can arrive at the Port of Havana in Cuba at one or two o'clock in the evening.

It is because it is quite inconvenient to arrive at the port whether it is early or late, the price of the ticket is half cheaper than the cruise ship that set sail in the afternoon. Many passengers are greedy for this cheapness and choose the ship in the morning. Most of these passengers who are greedy for cheap will choose the special class or first class. Therefore, when Zhao Daming bought the ticket before the cruise ship set sail, only the tickets for ordinary cabins remain.

Last evening, Zhao Daming chose this cruise ship, not because he was greedy for its cheapness, but because he didn't want to stay in Miami for a long time. But when he got on the boat and knew the time to arrive, he was stunned. "I just arrived at the port in the middle of the night, where should we stay?"

Facing Zhao Daming who was embarrassed, Luo Lie was quite calm and said, "Since it exists, it must make sense. Don't worry, when you arrive at the port, you will naturally find your residence."

Qin Gang put down his luggage, but asked for the only ordinary cabin ticket from Zhao Daming and said, "Let's go there and sleep, so as not to disturb you, we still have to sit and sleep." It makes sense to think about it, so Luo Lie Zhao Daming let Qin Gang go to the ordinary cabin.

Zhao Daming remembered what Luo Lie said just now, and asked with his brow locked, "What did you say just now? Since it exists, it makes sense, right?"

Luo Liedao: "The original words are existence, that is, reason, and it is a famous saying written by Hegel in "Principles of Law Philosophy".

Zhao Daming sighed and said, "Who is Hegel? What does legal philosophy mean? Luo Lie, Brother Daming really didn't expect that you know so much."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "No way! This book was lent to me by the head of the hall. I just saw this sentence on the train and thought what he said made a lot of sense, so I remembered it. Brother Ming, if you are interested, I can lend this book to you."

Zhao Daming quickly waved his hand and said, "You can stop it. If you let Brother Ming study, it would be better to punish you, Brother Ming for not eating!"

Perhaps it is because of the cheapness that Zhao Daming bought the boat ticket yesterday is a special cabin. There are only two bunks in the special cabin, so two of the three special cabin tickets must be in the same cabin, while the other one is in the other cabin. Zhao Daming left two boat tickets in the same cabin, picked up the other one, and said, "I'll go there, leave Xiao Gu Ting for you, clean up him well, and don't give me face."

To be honest, although Gu Ting did such a wrong thing, Zhao Daming was concerned about Gu Haoran's face and did not want to make things bigger. Instead, he thought about turning big things into small things. Luo Lie let Gu Ting go and left him in Miami. In fact, it was a good result for Zhao Daming. Whether birth or death depends entirely on fate, he also took it back to New York. No matter how the punishment was, it would hurt Gu Haoran's face.

It was because of this thought that Zhao Daming did not want Luo Lie to find Gu Ting. Although he realized last night that the little beggar was Gu Ting, Luo Lie did not chase him, so he pretended not to recognize him. But fate still brought Gu Ting to Luo Lie. Although Zhao Daming was quite reluctant, he could only pinch his nose and accept the reality.

After Zhao Daming left, only Luo Lie and Gu Ting were left in the cabin. Luo Lie pointed to the two kettles under the table and said, "Go and get two bottles of hot water first!"

Gu Ting obediently picked up the two kettles and walked out of the cabin.

In just a few seconds, Luo Lie also left the cabin and stared at Gu Ting from a distance. It was not that Luo Lie was still worried that Gu Ting would sneak out of the boat, but that Luo Lie felt sorry for this kid who suffered so much suffering these days and suffered so much sin, and he didn't want him to be bullied on the boat again.

Gu Ting quickly brought two bottles of hot water back. As soon as he entered the cabin, Luo Lie ordered: "Take all the towels for you, just wipe your body first. When you arrive in Havana and check into the hotel, you can take a shower with pleasure."
