When Garton said why he buried a dead relative in the front yard, the reporters had thought about how to write this press release, and even had a lot of headlines.

Father's love is like a lamp

Father is a door

The man buried in the front yard

Never leave

……

Touching stories are always loved by journalists. They like to explore the flash of human nature in this tragic story. It is precisely because these flash of human nature can arouse the resonance of readers.

Only when readers feel that they are moved and have some new gains, will they write to the newspaper, spontaneously publicize this article and trigger social heated discussion, so that advertisers are willing to advertise in their personal columns.

Of course, some reporters feel that this is not enough "pain", but a story about a father who died in the hands of gangsters to protect his wife and children.

To be honest, it does meet the standards of publicity, but such a story happens more than once a year in every country. These reporters believe that more pain points should be found in this story!

You know, they came to a troubled area at great risk, not to report these ordinary news. They also need some more valuable returns and some more powerful news.

Someone asked Garton a question, "were you with him when he died?"

Garton was stunned for a moment. Almost everyone had a moment of blank thinking, including Lynch.

He knew these reporters were fucked, but he didn't expect them to be so fucked, but he soon recovered.

He remembered an interesting story. In order to get first-hand information, a journalist stopped the medical staff from rescuing the injured in an accident, pulled out the injured's oxygen mask, and asked him, "do you know that your whole family is dead? How do you feel about it? Do you want to cry?"

The survivor's only thought at that time may be "do I want to draft, three days and three nights, in the middle of the night, Ow!"

In the face of the reporter's question, some things in Garton's memory that he didn't want to recall surfaced again. Mr. Simon's indifference and ruthlessness, as well as the disgust and contempt in his eyes when he looked at Garton, all these and more things that didn't show contributed to his impulse to pull the trigger.

His upper eyelids shook. It was definitely not a sad expression. Lynch began to be a little interested.

"Yes, I'm not far from him. I don't want to..." out of politeness and there are so many people around here, he still answered this question and planned to refuse to answer the following questions.

But the reporter didn't give him a chance. "Did you hold his body when he fell down? Did you watch the blood flow out of him and onto you? Were you afraid? Did you call him to wake him up? How did you fight against those gangsters, or did you kneel beside your father who died to protect you and beg for mercy from them?"

Garton clenched his fist, but the reporters were very excited. They couldn't help but compare a thumb to the tricky questions raised by their peers.

These problems are really tricky. They not only opened Garton's wound, but also drilled in with a burning red cigarette end.

Someone inquired about the origin of the reporter. When people heard that the reporter came from the federal times of Baylor Federation, they immediately showed a clear face.

Their favorite thing to do is to report news without a lower limit, but it is also very attractive to those who are full of thirst for knowledge.

They didn't even know at this time that the author was ready to be beaten. Being beaten would not only make him more famous, but also make this report more attractive to people.

However, it is a pity that Garton is a "nagary" after all. He has a mixed blood, but he is still a nagary in his bones. He was born and grew up here. He is a native nagary.

This also gave him a natural awe of foreigners, even if he was half a foreigner himself.

He didn't do it. He just looked at the reporter a few more eyes, then shook his head, "I refuse to answer these questions. They will make me painful!"

"Because you watched your father die in front of you incompetently, but you couldn't do anything?", the reporter friend still didn't want to let him go so simply and chased him.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat abnormal, Lynch stood up, "although we pursue more authentic reports, we should not sprinkle salt on other people's wounds. Can we avoid similar problems?"

The reporter who expected Garton to wave his fist at him suddenly looked like a clever man. He knew that Garton would beat him at most. People like Lynch who had become the ruling class in the local area would lose their lives if they were angry.

For the sake of his own life and the deposits in the bank, the reporter leaned slightly with a flattering smile, "of course, Mr. Lynch, I'm sorry for my reckless move just now. I want to tell others the tragedy caused by this turmoil so much that I ignore the mood of the parties. I'm sorry, Mr. Garton."

He also apologized to Mr. Garton. Garton couldn't attack, so he had to nod his head and accept his apology.

This is also his character. Over the years, he oppressed himself too tightly. Some things gradually changed from pretending to being a habit, such as his politeness.

The party entered the room and saw the hostess of the house, also a local woman.

She was kneeling at the tea table to prepare for the coming guests. When some people led by Lynch came in, the hostess immediately stood up, bent over and lowered her head.

The status of women in nagary is poor. Before Mr. Simon died, she was almost as low as a maid in the family. Now Mr. Simon is dead, and her status is at most the same level as that of a housekeeper.

This is not to say that Garton is not good to his mother. In fact, he has been very good to his mother, but in the inherent traditional concept of local people, women have no status.

Even between husband and wife, the husband rarely treats his wife as a "family", more like treating his wife as a free servant.

This is a common knowledge of society, so the hostess's status here will not be promoted much because Mr. Simon's death, unless she has a very prominent origin.

After Lynch took his seat, the others also sat down. They also wanted to talk about what happened before, what is happening, and what will happen in the future.

Jiadun's mother, the hostess of the house, knelt down next to Lynch. He was the most distinguished person. According to tradition, she needed to make Lynch feel at home.

Garton's attention soon focused on the next conversation, "I inherited everything here, I also feel the damage caused by this chaos, and I hope that the chaos can stay away from us more than anyone else."

"If we want to do this, the first thing we have to do is to strengthen ourselves. This is the common wish of me and other people. Only when we are rich and strong can we avoid these problems..."

At this time, Garton was still holding a very traditional idea of the family to understand the world, including most people in the Al Shabab.

They believe that as long as the family gets rich and has the ability to receive education, the situation here will naturally get better.

To achieve this, we must mention economic development and industrialization. Therefore, when Garton spoke, he was "rich and strong". Some people were thoughtful, while others laughed without saying anything.

In fact, it can't blame who said right or wrong. After all, he is still a young man.

Of course, what Garton wants to tell people is that from this moment on, everything here will be used and owned by him. He is declaring his position.

"... I'll start again next. I noticed..." he glanced at Lynch sitting aside and smiled slightly. "Mr. Lynch's factory is recruiting more workers, which is actually a good phenomenon."

"I believe in Mr. Lynch's ability. He is optimistic about nagary, which shows that we really have development potential. So why do we want to leave or escape, and why don't we continue to build our home here?"

Garton put the main content on the next development. Lynch didn't pay attention after listening to it for a while. When the young man saw it at first, he was a little surprised.

He looks smart and can bear it, but now he still lacks some special things, a kind of aura. What he shows is what he tries his best to show people, not his essence.

This sounds a little confusing, but it is precisely the key difference between big businessmen and small traders.

When Lynch was a child, about six or seven years old, when he lived, silkworm farmers would sell silkworms at the gate of the school every specific season.

After selling out these silkworm farmers, they will leave. This is hard for a large group of students. They only have silkworms but no mulberry leaves. They can only watch the silkworms die one by one.

At that time, Lynch had a business mind. During the holiday, he went to the sericulture Research Institute to pick up mulberry leaves on other floors and sell them to school. He sold them for more than 20 yuan in just one day.

You know, at that time, an adult's monthly salary was only about 100 yuan.

The good times didn't last long. The school soon confiscated his money and criticized his behavior. Later, some people collected mulberry leaves to sell, but these people learned.

The biggest difference between them and Lynch is that Lynch can see wealth, and these people can only pick up what others have left.

It's like the boy in front of him. He's trying to show the results of his "learning". He, including those around him, thinks he's smart and makes sense, but Lynch knows that it's just an illusion.

There are some things that you can't and can't learn.
