The next day, early in the morning.

The sky was still bright, Huo Yaowen got up and put up the bamboo mat, and then took the basin and towels and other things to wash outside, and when he came back after tidying up his appearance, Huo's mother and grandma had already gotten up.

Huo Yaowen was surprised: "Grandma, Grandma, why did you get up so early? Didn't you say it? I'll just let Ming Tsai accompany me." ”

Huo Mu smiled and said: "I know, yesterday you bought some steamed dumplings and came back, I was hot, you went downstairs and called Ming Zai to come up, and ate breakfast together before leaving." ”

Grandma, who was helping Huo Yaowen pack her luggage, said: "Yes, Awen, don't be in a hurry to leave after breakfast." ”

I was thinking of getting something to eat on the way or in the ice room after I went out, but seeing my mother and grandma say this, Huo Yaowen nodded and agreed, and then said, "Then I'll go downstairs and call Ming Tsai to come up for breakfast." ”

"Go ahead. ”

...

Two hours later, at nine o'clock in the morning.

Hong Kong Ferry Terminal.

Huo Yaowen carried a heavy brown leather suitcase, stood by the guardrail of the ferry, looked at the calm sea, and Hong Kong Island not far away, and inexplicably rose infinite pride in his heart.

In 1968, after the leftist trade union riots last year and the anti-British protests in May, Hong Kong seemed to be peaceful in daily life, but there were endless storms and waves.

According to the information consulted by Fok Yaowen in later generations, it was precisely because of the Hong Kong riots in 1967 that prompted the British government in Hong Kong to intensify its efforts to control those underworld gangs and the decade-long anti-corruption storm of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Starting from this year, Hong Kong will undergo a series of reforms and changes in the next decade, which will also accelerate Hong Kong's status as an international metropolis with the first of the four Asian tigers.

But at the moment, there is still a mixture of dragons and snakes, and the chaos is very large, and the scenes of the gang fighting on the street also happen from time to time, and when Huo Yaowen was just reborn, he saw a big scene of hundreds of people holding machetes and splitting each other.

On the side, Ming Tsai held a futon wrapped in rags and other things, walked to Huo Yaowen's side, put it on the ground, and said with some loss: "Brother Yaowen, you are about to go to the University of Hong Kong as a lecturer, don't you go back to the estate often?"

As soon as these words came out, some of the people who took the ferry next to them looked at the young man in front of Ming Tsai with surprised expressions, white shirts, black trousers, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with a polite appearance, which was indeed very much like a teacher.

"How so. Huo Yaowen smiled and said, "I'll still come back to live during the holidays." ”

"Really, that's great, Brother Yaowen, I can't find anyone to play with now. ”

Ming Tsai suddenly cautiously leaned behind Huo Yaowen and whispered: "Brother Yaowen, Big D, they haven't been playing near the estate recently, I heard Big D's younger brother say that his brother recently worshiped the big guy in the water house, saying that there is something big to do." ”

"Big D worshiped the big guy in the water room?"

Huo Yaowen was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence too much, but soon another name for "water room" came to his memory, "and Anle"!

Hutchison, one of the largest gangs in Hong Kong, often refers to itself as "water room" and "soda room" because it runs a "safe soda", so in order to avoid people's eyes, gang insiders often refer to themselves as "water room" and "soda room".

In the end, this title also spread to the ears of outsiders, so when everyone hears the word "water room", most of them associate it with peace and happiness.

"yes. Ming Tsai nodded, and said with a hint of envy: "Big D is really lucky, listen to his younger brother, the big guy that Big D worships is the eldest brother of the Blue House Street in Wan Chai, and there are hundreds of people under his hands, and he is very majestic." ”

Looking at Ming Zai's admiration and envy, Huo Yaowen's face sank, and he said: "In the future, when I see Big D, try to deal with him as little as possible, if he pulls you into the club, you must not agree." For a person of your temperament, when you join the gang, you are only the lowest-level horse boy, not even as good as Sijiu Zai, and you may be able to help others carry the black pot. ”

There are a lot of young people in the housing estates now, most of them are the first batch of newborns who came to Hong Kong in the 50s, so many gang members will come here to recruit some horses to fill in the new blood of the gang, very few in the past few years, but since last year's 67 riots, many gang elders have been arrested and put in prison, which has also led to the shortage of manpower in many gangs, so they come to poor places like housing estates to accept people.

Others Huo Yaowen can't manage it, and he doesn't want to take care of it, but Ming Zai's family and his own family are old neighbors for more than ten years, and Ming Zai is also honest, he just likes to play and hang around behind others, so it is necessary to remind him a few words and order him to stop the precipice.

"Back to the black pot?" Ming Tsai didn't understand the word.

"It's to send people to death!"

Huo Yaowen glared at Ming Tsai, and said, "If you dare to join the gang, I will be the first to inform you Lao Dou and let him hang you up and beat you!"

As soon as he heard Huo Yaowen mention his own old bean, Ming Tsai's neck shrank subconsciously, the person he was most afraid of was his old bean, he was burly and extraordinary, with a fierce face, he was beaten when he was a child, and he was hung up and pumped with a belt, which also prompted Ming Tsai to look prodigal and stubborn on the surface, but in fact he was the most timid in his heart.

Looking at Ming Tsai, who has been following behind his ass since he was a child, Huo Yaowen thought for a while and said, "You have also been out of school for more than a year, have you ever thought about finding something to do recently?"

Ming Tsai replied: "My old bean wants me to learn carpentry, but I want to be a uniformed policeman, I am very majestic, and there is still a lot of oil and water to fish." ”

"You are still a uniformed policeman, do you know how to write dead words. ”

Huo Yaowen said angrily: "It's not that you didn't read the newspaper last year, your old bean is a plainclothes officer at the Kowloon Police Station, didn't he tell you that the errand is the worst now?"

"Got it. Ming Tsai lowered his head and said: "Listen to my old bean, last year, more than 100 uniformed police officers died, and even senior inspectors died two. ”

"Yes. ”

Huo Yaowen patted Ming Tsai's shoulder and said: "In the past, you were really good at being on errands, not only could you make money, but people would be respectful to you when you went out, but now it's different, it's very dangerous to be on errands." Especially the uniformed policemen, who are not equipped with guns, carry a baton, and you say that if your boss asks you to patrol around the Kowloon Walled City, you are not brave enough. ”

"No...... No way. Ming Tsai stammered.

"It's not impossible. ”

Although Huo Yaowen's predecessor knew that Kowloon City was dangerous, he had only heard that it was dangerous, and he had never seen or seen what it was.

Huo Yaowen, who has checked the information of the Kowloon Walled City, is often the most dangerous place in Hong Kong, where snakes and insects are mixed, and there are all kinds of gangs.

At present, the British government in Hong Kong almost did not care about the Kowloon Walled City, and it was not until the mid-80s that tens of thousands of police officers were mobilized to forcibly demolish the century-old Kowloon Walled City.

Ming Tsai swallowed his saliva and said sadly: "It's not bad, but I don't want to be a carpenter, there is no future." ”

"You kid!" Huo Yaowen glared at him, and said: "Recently, you went to work as a carpenter according to your old bean's wishes, and when you have the opportunity, Brother Yaowen will find you a good errand that not only pays more, but also is majestic." ”

"Really?" Mingzai's eyes lit up.

"When did Brother Yaowen lie to you?"

Huo Yaowen smiled and said: "You go to learn carpentry now, you can get a decoration team by yourself in the future, Hong Kong's real estate industry has been very good in recent years, and the decoration team is indispensable." ”

In the next few years, it was the great era of Hong Kong's real estate prosperity, and it would not plummet until the Sino-British negotiations, so it was a decoration team and slowly developed into a decoration company, and the future was still very broad.

But Ming Tsai can't see this, even if he hears Huo Yaowen say this, he doesn't care much. Now Ming Tsai is only thinking about finding a good errand, just like his Lao Dou or Brother Yaowen, a plainclothes policeman, a teacher at the University of Hong Kong, how face-saving it is.
