Chapter 5 chapter Five

He got up from the bed and took a cigarette from the pocket of his coat that hung over the back of the chair. Why wasn't he too shocked when the actor named Lodin made those suggestions to him? Because his attitude had predicted that he would make special suggestions to him? Because the expression on that person's face could tell Can you see that there is a trick in his belly? Or does he feel that this matter has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't want to get involved? He didn't hurt the dignity of this person, and he didn't say "You wolf-hearted thing, How dare you try to usurp the inheritance that your friend is about to inherit!"

or something like that.But at the same time, he didn't really think about other people: their sins, their sorrows, or their happiness.No matter what, the cannibal's mouth is soft. At that time, he no longer has the position of being righteous. He walked to the window and stared at the desolate backstreet scene outside the window.Although he is not penniless now, he has hoped to find a job for a long time.But the experience of finding a job was not very exciting for him.In England there seem to be far more people looking for work in handling horses than they are able to use their stables.

There are many people who love horses, but the work related to horses is out of proportion.In addition, he didn't want to just "be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day" and give in casually.If you enjoy doing road work, you don't want to just lay asphalt all day long. He also tried a few jobs, but not many were interested in a lame man with no references.Why should they be interested in him? They have a right to choose the best men in England to work for them. It was even more hopeless when he mentioned to them that his experience of training horses was in America. "Oh! One of those cow-like horses!" they'd say.When they said that, they were still polite. When he was in the United States, he had forgotten how polite his country was.But what they mean is this: the way cowboys train their horses is not what they want.Since they didn't say it publicly, he didn't get a chance to explain that his training wasn't what they thought it was.Anyway, it's useless to say it.They must know your background before deciding whether to use you.In the United States, people move around all the time and live in no fixed place. It's not the same here.

Here, people do one errand and do it for a lifetime.How long you can do something determines how important you are. Of course, the best solution is to leave the country again.But in fact the biggest difficulty is: he doesn't want to go.Now that he was back, he experienced what he had thought was free, wandering aimlessly here and there just to lead him back to his homeland.He came back, not through Dippi, but through Mexico, through the western United States all the way eastward, and he came back more than half of the world.Such is the case.When he saw the horses, he had found what he was looking for, but he didn't feel like he belonged in New Mexico either.It's just that he prefers New Mexico.

Even better, now he's in love with England.He wanted to work with British horses on the grasslands of England. Anyway, if you have no money, it is much harder to leave the country than to enter it. He once ate at the same table in a small restaurant with a man who spent eighteen months trying to get a work card, but still couldn't find the way.This guy growled and said, "Bad card," which is what they always say: 'Where's your work card?' If you're not in a union somewhere, you can't work there. Even folding napkins and serving as a waiter required a work card.I'm going to wait and see if they can't find a cook who joins the cooks union, will they just watch the boat go down?"

He looked into the angry blue eyes of the Englishman, and suddenly remembered the man he met in the restaurant in Harvard Harbor, France, saying "you need a document". Yes, it's the same everywhere in the world, how easy is it to find a job without a work permit? It's a pity that Lodin's suggestion is so sinful. Would he have been more interested if he had mentioned horses earlier? Nope.Of course not.This is unreasonable.It's a crime, he wouldn't even touch it. "It'll be safe, you know," said the voice inside him. "Even if they find out, they won't charge you. Because it'll make them lose face. Lordin said."

"Shut up! A crime is a crime! This thing is the behavior of an animal!" he retorted himself. ．Maybe it would be fun to go and see Lordin act one evening. He never met an actor.It must be refreshing to sit down and watch someone you know act.How did Lodin act with people? "Must be a very clever collaborator, trust me," said the inner voice. "I said it sucks," he added, "I'm not going to work with him." "You don't have to take part in his plot at all. You just go straight to their house and tell them, 'I'm from your family, and someone put me in an orphanage one day twenty-one years ago. doorway. Now, I've got it back, I want a job.' There you go."

"Isn't this using black letters to slander others? I don't want to do that." "They owe you a debt, don't they?" "No, they don't owe me anything. Nothing." "Forget it, you are originally from the Asyubie family, you know that." "I don't know, there have been situations where two people look alike before. Lots of famous people have someone who looks like them.Don't newspapers often publish photos of ordinary people who look like celebrities? They look alike in appearance, but their personalities are not necessarily the same. "

"Stupid. You are originally from the Asyubie family. Otherwise, where did you get your kung fu on horses?" "A lot of people have a way with horses." "There were sixty-two children in that orphanage. According to you, they were all adopted by rich people, so that everyone had a way of thinking about horses?" "I didn't know I was after a horse!" "Of course you don't know, but the blood of the Asybe family who flows on you knows." "Oh, can you shut up?" Tomorrow he was going to the racecourse for a stroll.He has a limp, but he's no problem riding any four-legged animal.Someone might be interested in a man who can ride fast without fear of breaking his neck.

"Shut up, don't waste your time." "Anyway, it's just amazing." "He'd better stop thinking about it." Some people say that when you think about an incredible thing a few times, it becomes quite reasonable. He still wanted to go to Lodin's sometime and look at the pictures.You can't go wrong looking at the photos. He must see what his "twin brother" looks like. He didn't like Lodin very much, but there was nothing wrong with just going to see him, and all he really wanted to see were pictures of Reichett. Yes, he was going to see Lordin.

Maybe the day after tomorrow, after watching Lodin play.Or maybe tomorrow.
