CH 124 CH 0123 [Kowloon Walled City]

A huge Boeing airliner swooped over the Kowloon Walled City, roaring past with a wave of air.

People living on the upper floors of the Walled City looked at the passenger plane and could touch it; a group of children downstairs chased the passenger plane, running and laughing.

Against the backdrop of the setting sun, the Kowloon Walled City is bizarre and full of mystery.

As a chaotic place in Hong Kong, Liu Jianxiong has never been here, because he has heard people say that this place is terrible and not a place for serious people to come. There are many fugitives hiding here, but the police dare not come in to arrest them, so here are criminals. paradise.

But today Liu Jianxiong followed Hu Xuyong into this city that made him very curious. Looking around, it was noisy and lively.

"Those legends are all lies!" Hu Xuyong said to Liu Jianxiong, "There are rules here, and if you don't follow the rules, you will be kicked out, so as long as you follow the rules here, you don't have to be afraid of anything!"

Hu Xuyong stopped by the side of the road, ordered a bowl of curry fish balls, and asked Liu Jianxiong if he wanted to eat them. Liu Jianxiong took a toothpick and tasted it.

"tasty."

"Of course! The fish balls here are very famous, and they are different from those outside."

"what is the difference?"

"Of course the people who make fish balls are different! The owner of this fish ball shop is the famous Jiang Bao! The fish balls he makes are the strongest! They also have the most juice!"

"Then I'll have a bowl too!" Liu Jianxiong also bought a bowl of fish balls, held them in his hands, and ate them with a toothpick.

The two talked and laughed and walked to the corner in front of them, but they saw a large venue not far away, with a few fat meat dogs tied to one side, but they were making dog meat hot pot and a side stove.

On the other side, a large room was surrounded by three-ply boards, and many eye holes were drilled in the boards. A group of men were lying on their stomachs and looking into the holes.

Hu Xuyong knew the owner of the side stove, so he walked over to have a chat.

Liu Jianxiong bit the fish ball and swayed to the other side.

A wretched-looking man approached, holding a handful of crumpled banknotes in his hand.

Liu Jianxiong looked up at the signboard

Liu Jianxiong chuckled: "Even the idioms are wrong! What's so interesting about you here?"

The wretched man giggled: "It's wrong, don't you know it when you look at it? Three yuan, I guarantee you won't regret it!"

Liu Jianxiong was full of curiosity, so he took out three pieces and handed them to the other party, then bit the fish ball and found an eye hole to look in.

After a while, Liu Jianxiong licked his lips eagerly, looked up at the signboard, and praised: "Kowloon Walled City, indeed there are masters!"

"Tall man! Let's go, collect the money!" As soon as Hu Xuyong was distracted, Liu Jianxiong disappeared. After finally finding him, he hurriedly took him to the Zhouji grocery store to collect the money.

The owner of the grocery store and Hu Xuyong are also old friends. When they met Hu Xuyong, they took the money without waiting for Hu Xuyong to say hello.

Hu Xuyong explained a few more words, saying that the factory's output is now up, and if the boss needs it, he can increase the supply.

The boss is very happy. Master Shi's instant noodles are very popular here. Many children and poker players like to eat them. Even some women who don't like cooking like to buy them as a staple food.

Hu Xuyong had a heated chat with the boss, but Liu Jianxiong dozed off on the sidelines, thinking that those legends were indeed false, and it was very safe here, how could there be so many bad guys?

Just as he yawned for the third time and stretched himself, Hu Xuyong came out, brightened the 10,000 yuan in his hand, and said to Liu Jianxiong, "We got the money, let's go back and pay the account!"

"It's so late, we have to hurry back to Yuen Long, why don't we spend the night here!" Liu Jianxiong chased Hu Xuyong and said.

Hu Xuyong looked at the sky, turned his face and said to Liu Jianxiong: "There are rules here, and there are rules in the factory. Since you have received the money, you have to hand it in, and you can't delay it any later!"

Seeing Hu Xuyong being so persistent, Liu Jianxiong felt sick.

It was getting late at this time, and the entire city was slowly shrouded in darkness. Hu Xuyong led Liu Jianxiong towards the exit of the nearby city, and suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him.

It was a weird man with drooping head and shaking body, squinting at Hu Xuyong and Liu Jianxiong.

Liu Jianxiong asked Hu Xuyong: "What does he do?"

Hu Xuyong didn't say a word, he looked around, and then at the zombie-like guy standing in the dark, his eyes became vigilant.

He knew that person was a "dao friend", who would become addicted if he smoked it, and would go crazy if he had no money to buy it. Even though Kowloon Walled City had its own rules, these people dared to violate the prohibition.

"No matter what happens later, you have to stand behind me." Hu Xuyong touched the boning knife at his waist for many years, and told Liu Jianxiong.

Liu Jianxiong gave a "cut", "Isn't he alone, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

As soon as Liu Jianxiong's words fell, he saw ghosts in front of him, and seven or eight men came out.

They stared at Hu Xuyong and Liu Jianxiong with eyes like wolves, and let out a shrill smile from their mouths: "People can leave, but the money stays!"

...

Causeway Bay, Tenement House.

"Brother Jian, I didn't expect this TV to be quite heavy!" Da Daxiong followed Shi Zhijian's buttocks and walked towards the third floor with a newly bought "Lide" TV.

"Take a break if you're tired, and I'll do it for you!" Shi Zhijian said back in front.

"Just kidding! I used to carry sacks at the pier, and this is only the third floor. If it were the tenth floor, I'd carry you up in one go!"

Shi Zhijian smiled, and to be honest, sometimes he is really not as good as Da Daoxiong, at least not as strong as them.

And the TVs of this era are made like iron bumps, and they are very heavy. Just such a TV weighs sixty or seventy catties, at least.

When he came to the third floor, Shi Zhijian saw that the room that was supposed to be a storage room seemed to be rented out, and there were a few wisps of light in it.

Shi Zhijian frowned. He didn't like living with other people, but who made the elder sister Shi Yufeng like money? It's probably because she made a good idea and found someone to rent.

Shi Zhijian knocked on the door.

Shi Yufeng saw the TV set in Lou Daxiong's arms at a glance, and stared wide-eyed: "What is this for?"

Shi Zhijian: "I bought a TV and asked Brother Xiong to carry it up."

"TV?" Shi Yufeng's eyes widened.

Bao'er heard that there was a TV to watch, and she didn't do her homework. She ran out of her room happily, clapped her little hands and jumped up and said, "Good! Good! We have a TV to watch at home!"

Shi Yufeng was anxious: "No, this TV is so expensive! You have to pay more than 20 yuan a month to watch it, which is worse than robbery!"

"Just pay the fee!" Shi Zhijian entered the room.

Behind Da Daoxiong leaned against the wall with one leg to support his body, and put the TV set in his arms on his lap, and said to Shi Yufeng, "Excuse me, can I go into the room? This thing is so heavy!"

Only then did Shi Yufeng let the door open, loudly reported the TV into the room, and placed it on the tea cabinet in the living room according to Shi Zhijian's instructions. Then she took a breath and said in her heart: "I really should exercise, these days Eating, drinking, and drinking have put away all the effort!"

"Old sister, the TV station will come back tomorrow to help install the receiving antenna. Remember to welcome me!" Shi Zhijian took off his suit jacket, hung it on the stainless steel hanger, turned around and untied his tie, and put it on the hanger.

"You don't talk to me about everything you do now! At least tell me when you buy such a big thing! Yes, you are so developed now, you don't have to ask me about everything, and you can make up your own mind about everything!" Hearing Shi Zhijian If he said that, Shi Yufeng gave his younger brother a little aggrieved look, but couldn't help sneaking a peek at the TV.

"It's just buying a TV, old lady, you don't have to be so angry!" Shi Zhijian laughed.

"I'm not angry with you, I'm reasoning with you!" Shi Yufeng pouted to defend.

"Well, I'll reason with you too." Shi Zhijian pointed to the next door, "Why didn't you tell me and rent out the house?"

"Uh, this—" Shi Yufeng was speechless.

Seeing that the old lady was speechless, Shi Zhijian opened the refrigerator and took two bottles of beer, and said loudly, "Go to the top floor, drink first!"
