Chapter 050: Kowloon Walled City

"Brother Yang, this hairpin is so beautiful. Li Man held a silver butterfly hairpin in his hand and praised it over and over again.

"Hey, Miss is really a good eye. The boss wearing an old-fashioned robe praised a sentence, pointed to the jewelry box in front of him, and proudly introduced: "This whole set of silver nail head noodles is all Lafayette's birthday, and the master of Yangzhou holds an awl and knocks it out by hand one by one, can it not look good." ”

"Uh...... Boss. ”

Yang Qiu also liked the jewelry in front of him, after all, it was an antiquity in this year, and it would definitely be more valuable if it was put for another thirty or forty years.

But after all, he came to buy props for "Begonia" today, and the money given by Cheng Gang can only be described as shy, and he must be careful in his calculations.

It costs at least 500 yuan to buy this complete set of silver nail head noodles, which is really unaffordable.

"Boss......" Yang Qiu hesitated and touched his nose, and said embarrassedly: "You, is there a fake?"

"Fake?!" The boss followed, and immediately became angry, blowing his beard and glaring: "My Liang family has never been a fake since my grandfather, how can there be a fake!"

Seeing that the old man seemed to have misunderstood, Yang Qiu hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "No, no, no, boss, you misunderstood, I am asking you if there is any silver nail headdress made of iron or plastic, after all, this is real, our troupe is newly opened, and we can't afford it." ”

"Yo! the newly opened troupe?" The boss is the boss after all, and after listening to the explanation, he immediately calmed down, but instead looked Yang Qiu and the three of them up and down, frowned and muttered: "It doesn't look like a kung fu person." ”

"Forehead......" Yang Qiu was a little embarrassed and replied: "Repertory troupe." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The boss was choked by Yang Qiu's answer, glared at Yang Qiu again, and then continued: "Silver nail head face Silver nail head face, since you have a silver character, how can you make it for me if you use that black ironβ€”β€”?

Just this last word can make Yang Qiu despise enough.

The boss didn't wait for Yang Qiu to reply, he found a small wooden box from under the counter, brushed the dust on it, put it on the countertop and asked, "Is there any iron plastic, and do you want copper and silver?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The protagonist of "Begonia", Begonia, has been singing Tsing Yi in the troupe. The best he sang in the book was Su San in the famous Peking Opera "Su San's Solution".

Well, it's the Su San who is familiar to later generations of people and 'Su San left HD County'.

Fortunately, they are a repertory troupe, not a Peking Opera troupe, so they only need to buy the Peking Opera outfits to be used in the drama, which saves a lot of money.

And the scene they want to play is the most famous scene of 'Su San leaving HD County', and the number of people is also small, only Su San and the escort are two people, which is even more economical.

The tolerance is a harlequin, and it is enough to buy a costume and paint a fancy face.

But Su San, the protagonist, can't save on clothes, what kind of sin clothes, sin skirts, belts, colored shoes, silk waist bags and the like, the same can't be missing.

Among them, the most important is the set of silver nail head jewelry.

After looking for several stores, I finally found a cheap one, although there are a few pieces of jewelry in the middle that have been polished to a slight fade, leaking a few traces of patina, but after all, it can be used improvised.

At this time, Yang Qiu missed the era of being able to make anything in later generations, and missed 925 silver very much.

Next, a few people went around the Kowloon Walled City, looking for other props.

To say that the Kowloon Walled City is actually not as terrifying as later generations rendered, what lawless place cares about human life and the like.

Although due to historical reasons, this is a place where China and Britain do not care about the law, but after all, human beings are social animals, and they have long evolved their own set of operating rules here.

As long as you follow the rules, it's actually no different here than outside.

Of course, if Li Man wanted to come in alone, Yang Qiu would never allow it......

Crowded rooms, sewage-filled passages, ragged refugees, graffiti, and cheongsam women standing at the entrance of the corridor are the most basic pictures of life in the Kowloon Walled City.

However, the good thing at this time is that the floors at this time are not too high, and occasionally a ray of sunlight shines down, giving people a trace of warmth.

Smelling the sweet smell of hibiscus paste in the air, Yang Qiu walked in the city holding Li Man's hand tightly, and Li Hanxiang followed behind with a large bag and a small bag.

The standard young master, the situation of traveling with a domestic servant.

However, what made Yang Qiu quite emotional was that the ragged refugees and emaciated children on both sides of the passage, although they stared at them longingly all the way, did not stretch out their hands to beg him.

But it's not about self-esteem, it's about rules.

Those who did not follow the rules were either dead or had already been kicked out of the Kowloon Walled City.

Because of this terra nullius, in addition to the medical clinics that are difficult to distinguish between real and fake, the main income is the service industry. A bunch of beggars are blocking the road and begging, and the customer experience is not good, how can you continue in the service industry?

Although none of this service industry - pornography, gambling and drugs - is a good thing.

"Good luck, bless us like a cloud, the river is endless. ”

As soon as they came out of a shop that sold old furniture, they turned to the entrance of a building, and saw a grandmother squatting on the ground, burying her head in a piece of red paper pasted on the wall of the building, and burning paper money into a clay pot in front of the red paper while chattering.

I saw that on the red paper, there were six big characters written 'God of Land and Wealth at the Gate'.

This is what can often be seen in later generations of Xiangjiang horror films, the oldest and most traditional ghost and god culture in Xiangjiang.

Yang Qiu and the others were not surprised, but in line with the principle of preferring to believe that they had something and not to believe it, they planned to take a detour.

But at this time, there was a sudden commotion on the top of the corridor, and a person rolled down 'hula'.

'Bang β€”β€”!'

With this crisp sound, I saw the fat bald head that rolled down, five short and three thick, and crushed the clay pot at once.

The scene suddenly scattered, and Yang Qiu and the others, who were wearing a lot of clothes, were so frightened that they took several steps back.

"Oh, what's the matter?" the old lady who worshipped the god was alert, not pressed, and then she also jumped up and looked at the bald head and began to exclaim.

"Lack of virtue!"

"Get out!"

"The old lady doesn't do your business. ”

"X You X"

"Scum!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Before everyone could figure out what was going on, a large group of people, both men and women, came down the corridor with a 'hula', punching and kicking the bald head who had not yet gotten up, so it was not lively.

"Oh, what is this for?" asked the old lady, who was a little inexplicably strange, and ran to the woman who scolded the most.

"What are you doing?!" replied the woman with some righteous indignation, "This immoral ghost has taken medicine." ”

"Ha β€”β€”?!"

When the old lady heard this, she immediately became angry with the enemy, and chased after her to slap the bald head a few times: "Your immoral ghost, you have taken medicine and want to play for nothing! The old lady killed you today." ”

"I paid for it!" said the bald head, already blue and swollen, struggling to his feet.

"Yo, dare to fight back, keep beating me!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

This time the bald man finally recognized the form, and he was afraid that he would lose his life if he suffered any longer, so he hurriedly bent over to protect his head, resisted a few punches, squeezed out of the crowd, and ran away as if he was dead.

"Damn! It's a bad day. ”

"I just did it again in vain. ”

"In the future, this kind of person will be beaten once you see it!"

"Oh, God and Buddha bless!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The group was still complaining, pointing in the direction the bald man had fled. But Yang Qiu stood there very embarrassed, looking at a rather strong person in the crowd, whether to leave or stay.

Obviously, the three of them were standing beside them like this, and now that the group was quiet, they noticed them at once.

Then, the man in the crowd was also embarrassed.

Luo Siwei walked over with a slightly embarrassed face, looked at Yang Qiu and Li Hanxiang, and shrugged his shoulders uncomfortably: "Ahemβ€”β€”, why are you two here too?"

"Uh......" Yang Qiu also felt a little sore, and replied, "Uh, come and buy something." ”

"Oh!" Luo Siwei looked at the package on Li Hanxiang's body, as well as the female relatives beside Yang Qiu, but knew that they were not lying, and continued: "Ahem... , I'll come over and play two and bet a little money. ”

Ouch hey!

We haven't asked yet, why did you answer it yourself?

Besides, Yang Qiu raised his eyebrows, and glanced at the corridor from the corner of his eye, can this gambling money be used to take medicine.

"Ahem... Well... , then you guys, keep busy, I'll go first, see you later. ”

Maybe it was because he saw Yang Qiu's strange eyes, Luo Siwei's face was a little unbearable, and he turned around and left after explaining a word, which was quite a bit of a desert and fled.
