August 18, 1986, 18:28 p.m.

Heung Kong Causeway Bay Correctional Institution.

Dark clouds are overhead, and torrential rain is coming.

Inside a red taxi, three men stared at the rusty iron gate in the rain and mist, blinking reluctantly.

"According to this station, Tropical Cyclone "Allen" is about to arrive in Hong Kong tonight, and Typhoon Signal No. 10 has issued a strong warning... Royal Hong Kong Meteorological Observatory... Zizi..."

In the co-pilot seat of the "Red Rooster", a cold man with a round head picked up the Jianpai cigarette placed horizontally in front of the car window, shook it with his hand, the cigarette was firmly held by his mouth, and pressed the lighter a few times before it was lit, and his slender eyes flashed a touch of impatience.

"When will I be released?"

"It's coming. The thin, short, man in the back seat stared out the window and didn't look back.

"It's been four years!"

The fat boy with curly hair in a flower shirt grabbed the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his eyes were red, and he muttered: "Anyway... It's good to come back. ”。

"Humph!"

The round-inch man snorted coldly, glared at the fat boy angrily, and scolded in a low voice: "Let you find a Mercedes-Benz, you have a shabby red rooster! What do you think? The big guy is released from prison, and you drive a taxi to catch the wind and hit the street! Do you learn "Five Lucky Stars"? It's a shame that you don't drive a bus!"

The words of the round-inch man made the fat boy with half-length perm hair and a flower shirt look embarrassed, and he only promised to defend himself.

"My brother Dong, don't you want to find a luxury car? It's not that you don't know the current market in Causeway Bay, no one appreciates your face, and the strips are tight, and I don't want to be so shabby......"

After complaining with a sad face, the curly-haired fat boy couldn't help but muttered and scolded: "A group of street boys, all of them are ungrateful, forgetting who brought them out to pick up water in the first place, without Zu Ge, can they be so majestic......?

There was silence in the car, and the memories were alive.

I am most afraid that the air will suddenly be quiet, and I will recall if I don't agree with each other.

……

In 1982, four years ago, Xiangjiang.

The same wind and rain, lightning and thunder. It's just that the typhoon that arrived in Hong Kong was not called "Ellen" but "Queen".

The dim and dilapidated alleys, under the dim and yellowed street lamps, fell sideways, and mourning was everywhere. Cold rain and wind, cold moonlit nights.

The round-inch man was supported by a thin and short man, and a pair of slender Danfeng eyes were red and bloodshot.

"Big guy, run!"

"That's right, Brother Zu, you go quickly! I'll carry it. The curly-haired fat boy was dripping with water on his face, and his face was full of eagerness. I can't tell if it's sweat or rain.

In the dim light, the tall man stood there like a slender spear, standing straight and upright. The body is muscular, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and slender legs. Apparently it belongs to the type of thinning in clothes and flesh in undressing.

The man flicked his half-length hair, and the water droplets scattered. Revealing handsome and handsome facial features. Eyebrows and starry eyes, nose and lips red.

His eyes were wavy, and he looked at the three brothers in front of him, and when he saw their eager gaze, his mouth grinned, revealing eight bright white teeth.

Rain dripped down the tip of the knife in his hand with blood.

Around him, more than a dozen people were lying on the ground howling and groaning in pain, a mess.

"Big guy!"

"Brother Zu—"

Sensing the big guy's thoughts, the three of them all shouted in shock.

"Hit the street! One by one, they are qualified enough to go to the ancestral hall for vacation, and they all come to compete with the big guys?"

"What, don't you have to start work?"

The three of them were just about to step forward. The tall man glared, the tip of the knife pointed at the three of them, and snorted coldly, not angry and arrogant.

Looking at the three people on the other side, a complicated and relieved look flashed in the tall man's eyes, and finally there was only firmness in his eyes.

The rain is getting heavier and the wind is getting stronger. The neon signs around him were intermittent, the wind swept up water droplets and slapped on his face, and the man turned his back to the three people, waved his hand, and walked out of the alley with his feet splashed.

That night, Ah Dong, Fei Cheng and Ah Hui watched the big guy turn himself in! Then he gritted his teeth, unable to tell whether it was rain or tears flowing down his cheeks, and fled in embarrassment with the time the big guy had gained.

……

As soon as the man came out of the alley, the dazzling light came directly.

Swish!

More than a dozen "dots 38" were pointed at him, the poor guy was loaded with live ammunition, and the police lights kept flashing. The military uniform PTU is ready for battle. Several assault vehicles were particularly eye-catching.

"Ah sir, you don't have to dance the knife and move the gun like this, right? I turned myself in, and I was afraid that I would be scared of and urine when I made such an exaggerated battle. The man looked at the nervous police officer in front of him and let go of his hand.

When!

The machete in his hand smashed on the ground, splashing water.

"Scared!"

A young errand guy was nervous, and he tripped and fell to the ground, and the gun in his hand happened to be thrown in front of Wu Xiaozu.

Swish!!

More than a dozen guns that were originally hanging down were all pointed at Wu Xiaozu. Wu Xiaozu, who was originally concave and grinning, was instantly sluggish, and his scalp was cold.

The scene is on the verge of erupting.

"Don't move!!"

The errands stared nervously at the prisoner in front of them.

"Put your head in your hands and squat down!

"Squat!!"

"Holy, don't move—"

"OK!OK! Don't be nervous, sir, what I threw is only physical evidence of the crime, don't get excited. I'm a good citizen. Wu Xiaozu ignored the "point 38" at his feet, honestly held his head with both hands, squatted down, and did not dare to make other superfluous movements, as well-behaved as Teddy who was standing on punishment.

At the same time, Wu Xiaozu scolded in his heart: MMP! I can't wait to kick away the "short dog" at my feet, but I don't dare to move, for fear that a bad one will cause panic, and I will die as soon as I am reborn. Then from "Tae-ho" was instantly shot into "Dead Kun".

Seeing that the suspect was very cooperative, the policemen were obviously relieved and rounded up in unison, while the experienced veteran policemen hurriedly kicked their guns aside.

This thing is indeed a bit exciting, the old policeman and the inspector are secretly wiping cold sweats, it's just a job, why is it so thrilling? No one wants to be Chen Jiaju, after all, no one here is called Fang-Shilong.

"Sir, can you not be so irritated? I'm afraid I'll be beaten into a sieve. Wu Xiaozu raised his head and looked at the young crappy police officer, "Sir, you are very powerful when you go out to the police to get a toothpick, why do you have to get a police gun? Everyone is so an errand......

The lame officer's face was cloudy and embarrassed. But the rest of the sir beside him thought so.

The voice fell, and Wu Xiaozu was directly pressed to the ground by the other party, rough and bad. His face was pressed hard in the rain, his eyes were silently closed, there was no struggle, no resistance. Some are just relieved.

The beginning of the story has changed, but what about the rest of life?

……

The police prosecuted and prosecuted more than a dozen counts of intentional homicide, suspected participation in triad activities, obstruction of official business, illegal smuggling, and money laundering.

Fortunately, the victim was rescued by the hospital, and at the same time, there was insufficient evidence for many other serious charges, and in the end, the court could only choose a few of them that were painless and itchless, and sentenced him to 52 months in prison. Exactly 4 years and 4 months.

I have to say that Hong Kong Island is good at this, there is no death penalty, and the sentence will always be reduced when it comes to the Queen's birthday.

Therefore, the sentence is reduced by 4 months!

Four years in custody!

……

August 18, 1986.

In the dark corridor of Causeway Bay Correctional Institution, a man in a brown summer uniform hugs a cardboard box and smiles as he greets his fellow inmates holding on to the railings on either side.

"Uncle Kuan, I will release you from prison today. ”

"Brother Huanxi, let's play chess together another day, and I promise that you won't leave a piece of armor after killing. ”

"Mourning, don't keep fighting-flying-planes, be careful of kidney loss. Remember to eat more eggs, which is very replenishing. ”

Wu Xiaozu smiled and quarreled with the prisoners on both sides, these are all cellmates who have been together for four years, although they can't be regarded as happy together, but they can be called shared hardships.

"Azu, don't want Rory, remember to ...... Phew, forget it, don't come back. ”

"Zu Zai, it's not good to look back, it's unlucky. ”

"Fight the street ancestor, I won't lose your kidneys! Eat your big-headed ghost eggs...... Pick that star! You go eat it, first!"

Everyone said goodbye to Wu Xiaozu one after another, laughing and scolding, and admonishing and damaging words.

, there is a situation in the prison. Every day, the relationship is naturally very harmonious. Except not to pick up soap.

Bang Bang Bang - Bang - Bang Bang.

The railing was knocked, and Wu Xiaozu was stunned, and then smiled.

"How many confidants are there in the world?

How many friendships last forever,

Today's farewell to you shakes hands,

Friendship is always in your heart,

Today there is a farewell,

He will be able to gather together,

Even if we can't meet,

Always a friend......

Gradually, the voices converged, tapping on the iron railing, moving to the beat.

The vicissitudes of life are low, the one who is peaceful is Brother Huanxi, the sharp and high-spirited is Brother CC, the one who roars proudly is Brother Huoniu of the Number Gang, and the one who howls with a broken gong and a dry throat is the one who came in because of robbery, and Tuen Mun Ah Ping, Dongguan Tsai, Hua Bone Dragon, Shui Shuihua, Ah Hao......

"It is said that there are thousands of miles of mountains,

Blocking the distance between the two places,

No need to meet,

I know in my heart,

Friendship can't change ......"

Wu Xiaozu glanced at the calendar with red letters on white paper hanging diagonally above.

August 18, 1986.

Appropriate: Riding horses, making alliances, bathing, meeting relatives and friends.

Don't: opening the market, sacrifices, burials, funerals, and longevity wood.

……

In 1982, when he was imprisoned, the Ancestral Hall (Stanley Prison) was full, and the British government in Hong Kong was afraid that the Stanley Prison riots in 73 would happen again, so the Correctional Services Department of the Security Bureau began to divert prisoners.

Wu Xiaozu was "lucky" and was assigned to the moderately fortified Causeway Bay Correctional Institution.

This song "Light of Friendship" was rehearsed by Wu Xiaozu during the 1984 party, and has since become the "prison song" of Causeway Bay Correctional Institution.

It is from the previous Lin Lingdong director, starring Liang Zifa in "Prison Storm". The prison and the song go well together. When you are released from prison, you must choose a song.

Wu Xiaozu didn't look back, and hummed softly in his mouth. Walk out of the cell and follow the prison guards through the release procedures.

There was still a faint sound of "The Light of Friendship" behind him, and the inmates went crazy. Prison guards were also heard beating on the railings with batons to warn of intimidation.

……

"One piece?"

After completing the formalities for release from prison, a middle-aged superintendent with a neat police uniform walked up.

"Be cautious when you go out and don't come back. Seeing that Wu Xiaozu did not refuse, he took a lighter to help light a cigarette, and whispered in his ear: "It is said that the sound of wind and rain outside tonight is so exaggerated, and the street is so chaotic." Beware of the cold, he was released from prison, but he was admitted to the hospital. ”

"Oh, thank you Sir for your concern. Wu Xiaozu suddenly smiled, looking happy.

"Fortunately, I called my little guys and asked them to find a car to pick me up, no matter how heavy the wind and rain are, I won't be afraid. Besides, sir, in the past four years, I like to read books and newspapers the most, I don't understand the sound of wind and rain, and I understand the sound of reading very well. ”

The middle-aged prison guard looked Wu Xiaozu up and down, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were sharp, "Then I wish you a bright future, Mr. Wu——"

Wu Xiaozu smiled brightly and held the other party's hand, accepting the blessing in his entirety, "You are the same, Ah sir!".

Passing by by mistake, Wu Xiaozu suddenly put away the smile on his face, picked up the luggage on the ground, and with a flick of his hand, the cigarette butt flew out of an arc and landed accurately in the trash can on the side.

Guard?

The corners of Wu Xiaozu's mouth, who was far away, twitched, when he was an idiot?

I'm a brain-eater, sir!

In the past four years, Wu Xiaozu has never seen a prison guard's shirt even tied so neatly to attend the funeral?

Also, which prison guard has that obvious calluses on his fingers?

When you are Zhou Gongjin yourself?

Convex!

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaozu raised his middle finger in his heart and took a sip.

I'm a good boy who is not liked by the teacher, blame me?

Of course choose to forgive him!

Looking at Wu Xiaozu walking into the rain with a black umbrella, the middle-aged superintendent's eyes flickered and he spit out a smoke ring.

"Ah Zhong, I have shown you his information, he is very well-behaved, he is the first prisoner in the ancestral hall to study and take the night school since the opening of the port of Xiangjiang, and the prisoners here are not convinced by him. Over the years, he read books and newspapers, and even helped us apply for pensions and benefits from the police and welfare departments. When have you ever seen a prisoner do this?"

The warden of the correctional facility walked up to the middle-aged superintendent and patted the old man on the shoulder, "Give the offspring a chance, as the old saying goes, the prodigal son will not change his money." ”

"As the old saying goes, 'Dogs can't change their'!" Chen Bingzhong retracted his gaze, loosened his pine wind and discipline, and said disapprovingly: "Of course, I have always advocated giving young people a chance to reform themselves!"

"You, I don't know you yet?" the warden shook his head, apparently knowing his fellow.

"I really don't understand why you O-Ji keep staring at Azu. Forget it, let's not talk about that. I'll talk to you, I've been optimistic about a horse lately......"

……

Time is the best teacher, but it's a pity that the teacher is a hooligan.

During the four years in prison, to be honest, Wu Xiaozu regretted it. I also fantasized that if I hadn't turned myself in, would it have been a different scene at this time. With the knowledge of the previous life, he may be able to run away.

And then......

A typhoon is coming, drowning in the open sea?

Many times, Wu Xiaozu told himself that life is like chess, and there is no regret when he falls. But who can really have no regrets?

However, this is the most interesting thing about people.

There are no regrets in life, which is a word of anger. If there are no regrets in life, how boring should it be?

Taking the right and wrong, no regrets and regrets, are all the paths they choose, and having a choice is the greatest luck.

In the memory of this life, Wu Xiaozu began to mix with the old boy at school at the age of 11, became a real old boy at the age of 12, worshiped the eldest brother at the age of 13, dared to pick up a knife and cut people for his brother at the age of 14, and entered the reformatory as a "sheep boy" at the age of 15 because he resisted for the big guy.

After coming out at the age of 16, he jumped into the head of the big man, relying on a pair of fists to beat the red stick, and followed the big guy through other words. With his subordinates, he swept through several blocks and laid a red foundation for the community. At the age of 17, he was very arrogant. Many elders call him the newcomer king of the rivers and lakes, and he is majestic.

At the age of 18, he opened the entrance of the incense hall and planted a flag for the club in Causeway Bay.

That night, it was rumored that as long as the signboard of "Wu Xiaozu" fell, he could get 500,000 bonuses, but no one dared to raise a knife to take the bonus.

stirred up the wind and rain, and directly hit Causeway Bay, and the bad guy was forced to ask him and other bigwigs to have tea together and divide the benefits. Stubbornly held up the banner and was known as a new force in the rivers and lakes. At this point, Wu Xiaozu's signboard is getting brighter and brighter, and it is so hot that it is hot.

Wu Xiaozu looked back at his "road to fame" and felt that it was a legendary life in the old boy's business. is more than Chen Haonan Niu B in Causeway Bay in the later "Crazy Boy".

However, it may be more accurate to interpret the lines in "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier".

"You will definitely become the overlord of the beggars!"

"What's that?"

"Still a beggar!"

So, sooner or later, you have to pay it back.

When he was 19 years old, the big guy Brother Qiu was framed by the enemy, and Wu Xiaozu used a knife alone to protect the big man's wife and daughter. In order to avenge the big guy, he led his men to sweep from the street to the end of the street, from the inside to the outside, and chased and slashed the enemy's family three streets with a knife.

Wu Xiaozu was reborn at the moment when he swung the last knife.

A stick was smashed on the head, and there was a faint pain, and the memories of the two lives were constantly intertwined. I can't tell whether I am Wu Xiaozu in the previous life or Wu Xiaozu in this life. It could be a conjunctive contradiction.

Finally, the fusion of feelings, the intersection of emotions.

Some things, it takes courage to choose.

Fortunately, emotionally and intellectually told him that choice is greater than avoidance. Even if he escapes, he will not be able to escape the sanction if he is a fellow errand man who has taken a picture of him, and the "Causeway Bay bearer" who cuts people in front of him will probably not be able to escape sanctions! It is better to let the three brothers who have never met him leave and fight alone.

Fortunately, when he was struggling, the shrill siren also avoided his luck. When he walked out of the alley, the battle of the bad guy also proved his judgment.

Emotionally, he can't let his brother bear the guilt for himself, that is Wu Xiaozu's persistence and righteousness on the road of the rivers and lakes in this life. Rationally, he can't be accused of absconding in fear of crime, and he is embarrassed to smuggle out of Hong Kong, which is the analysis and struggle of Wu Xiaozu in the previous life.

So he was relieved when he was pressed to the ground by the police.

The easiest thing is not to run away, but to be able to look directly at the choice. Even if this choice seems stupid to some.

So we should be glad that stupid people have a choice, and it's better than not having a choice.

On August 18, 1982, he was imprisoned in the wind and rain.
