On September 19, Lu Li and his wife finally got a temporary Hong Kong ID card in Zhang Dadong's law firm, which was just a plastic piece of paper with the names and photos of the two people written on it, stamped at the bottom of the photo, and a line of small print at the bottom: Valid until September 18, 1985.

"Mr. Zhang, what does this expiration date mean?"

"The simple explanation is that if you can provide proof of official residence for more than two consecutive years before the deadline, and you have not violated the law in Hong Kong during this period, you can apply for a formal residence permit."

Lu Li nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang, thank you very much for your help, and my companion and I are also going to say goodbye to you." ”

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Yes, there's a lot to go back to, and if nothing else, I'll head south again in early November, and then we'll sit down and talk."

Zhang Dadong nodded regretfully, he knew a little bit about Lu Li's personality, for him, making more money is less than second, and the most important thing is his family in the north! "Okay, I'll wish you and Mr. Xu a smooth journey."

Lu Li shook hands with him and led Xu Yunjian out of the lawyer's office, "Xiaoxiao, shall we go back?" ”

"Let's go to Mrs. Wang's house first and talk to her."

This sentence reminded Xu Yunjian, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Yes, I said last time, if we live for less than six months, she will have to return the rest of the money to us." Seriously, just this unlucky girl, I don't like her! What JB house, just charge us 13 a month? I know now that the kind of house that their family lives in, if they rent it, it will only cost 600 yuan a month, good guys, it's just a money grab! ”

Lu Li laughed while listening, he didn't think about looking for Mrs. Wang to get the money back, not only because the other party was Chen Qiqi's aunt, but also because he knew what kind of person the other party was! The only relationship between him and Mrs. Wang was enough for him to know too much about this woman: the money went into her pocket, and it was harder to take it out than to kill her! Rather than the two sides falling out and making Chen Qiqi embarrassed, it is better not to mention it at all, about 8,000 Hong Kong dollars, can't you afford it?

The two of them walked into the Standard Chartered Bank not far away and found Chen Qiqi, "Miss Qiqi, Xu Yunjian and I have to go back to the mainland first." ”

"In such a hurry? It's been less than a month! ”

"Yes, there's something going on at home, and we have to go back and deal with it." Luli took out a box from his bosom and handed it to her, "This is a gift I bought for you when I first arrived in Hong Kong." You see, like? ”

"For me?" Chen Qiqi was a little surprised, opened the gift box and saw that it was a white rabbit-shaped ornament, "I think, the little white rabbit is soft, just like your kind and helpful heart, I hope you don't blame me for giving it to you before leaving." ”

"How so?" Chen Qiqi smiled sweetly, and her face, which was already a little baby fat, was even more cute! "Thank you! Oh, you and Mr. Xu went back this time, will you come back? ”

"Yes, if nothing else, in a month, right? It could be a little longer, or it could be a little shorter, but I'm not sure about the exact time. ”

"Then, Mr. Lu, if you want, I will also ask my aunt to leave the house on the top for you?" Chen Qiqi blushed and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I also know that the house is ......"

"Forget it, I've never thought of it that way, really. At the beginning of the month, I came to Hong Kong with him, and to be honest, I don't even have an identity, and your aunt can still rent us a house, and I am grateful that she is too late. ”

"If you think so, it will definitely develop in the future."

"Huh?"

Chen Qiqi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, let me teach you a sentence of Cantonese, developed is our side, that is, it will be very successful in the future." ”

Luli laughed, "Good! Just borrow Miss Kiki's kind words, and wait until the day comes, I will thank you very much. ”

After saying a few words to Chen Qiqi, the two of them turned around and walked out of the bank, "Xiaoxiao, when will we go back?" ”

"Tomorrow, oh, I remember, all the messy books, magazines, and stuff you bought are here for me, and you can't take any of them back, understand?"

"Understood, understood, don't worry, walking a lot at night, aren't you afraid of encountering ghosts?" Xu Yunjian stayed in Hong Kong for half a month, and in addition to being fluent in Hong Kong dialect, he learned a lot of witticisms that only Hong Kong people have, "I also knew that I was wrong last time, and I will never do it again in the future!" ”

Lu Li didn't say anything more, and began to bury his head in tidying up his things, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, it seems that someone is coming, you listen?" ”

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, listened attentively, and sure enough, the footsteps stopped outside the door of the prefabricated board house, and the people outside seemed to have bad intentions, and they didn't move for a long time? Luli secretly said that it is not good! Could it be that someone from the South Fist Gate came to you? If it comes to doing it, he is not afraid at all, but Xu Yunjian doesn't know any martial arts, what if he really fights and hurts him? He blocked Xu Yunjian behind him, walked to the door little by little, suddenly raised his foot, and kicked the door open: "Oops! A guy outside screamed, covered his nose with his hands, and staggered back. When a few people looked at each other, they were all stunned. It turned out to be Gu Zhong's yellow-haired boy with a Moxigan hair! Luli remembered that he was the owner of a funeral ceremony and supply store named Ah Mao. There were a few people next to the two of them, but they didn't know each other.

As soon as Lu Li saw this Ah Zhong, he knew that the other party would not be here to find a place, his face gradually became calm, but he still stared at them directly, "You guys...... What are you here for? ”

Gu Zhong rubbed his hands, took an embarrassed step forward, and said very slowly: "This...... Ricore ......"

Lu Li waved his hand and stopped him from talking: "Don't call me that, I'm not used to hearing it, you can call me Mr. Lu." ”

"Okay, Mr. Lu, we offended you at the beginning, no, I brought a cat to apologize to you. A cat? ”

The cat's nose was broken, and he raised his head to the sky and snorted vigorously. Hearing the command, he lowered his head, "That, Mr. Lu, it was my mistake, I apologize to you." ”

Lu Li nodded, accepting the other party's apology, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, yes." Gu Zhong separated his brothers, stepped forward, and said a little flatteringly: "That, Mr. Lu, the kung fu you fought Liu Jiang at my last time was really great!" Our master said......"

"If you want to invite me to dinner, don't do it, we'll go back tomorrow." Luli took a step back and closed the door. Xu Yunjian's eyes rolled, but he felt that this was not a good way to get closer to the locals, but he had known Lu Li for many years, and he knew too well the unchanging temper of his old friend, so he didn't even greet him, and secretly pushed the door open, "Xiaoxiao, I'll go out and come back in a while?" ”

"Why are you going?"

"Hey, you don't care, I'll be back in a moment anyway." Xu Yunjian's feet sped up, and he went downstairs along the fire ladder all the way, catching up with Gu Zhong, "Hey? Wait a minute! ”

Gu Zhong was disappointed, he didn't want this Lu Li to be such a living person? Can't talk at all? If the task given by the master can't be completed, how can I face the old man when I go back? Suddenly, I heard someone shouting behind me, and turned my head to look over, it was Xu Yunjian. "You ......"

"You, you? Don't know me? By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Xu Yunjian. ”

Gu Zhong nodded, barely squeezing out a smile, "This...... Hello. ”

"I'll call you Ah Zhong in the future." Xu Yunjian said familiarly: "Have you eaten?" I invite you? ”

"Well, isn't it?"

"Less nonsense, let's find a place, drink some beer, and make friends."

Gu Zhong pondered for a while, Xu Yunjian was a person next to Lu Li, and it was good to know more about Lu Li's personality from him and from his mouth. ordered food and beer randomly, and sat down separately, "That, your name is Xu Yunjian?" In the future, I will call you Brother Jian. ”

Xu Yunjian laughed! All his life, he had been following Luli around, and no one had ever called himself that, and he was very happy for a while, "Come on, it's decided." By the way, this is a cat, right? You didn't have anything to do with the last time, right? ”

"It's fine." Ah Mao hadn't forgotten the pain of the day, and glanced at Xu Yunjian with resentment.

Xu Yunjian didn't take it seriously, picked up the wine glass, and took a shallow sip, "I drink shallowly, and I get drunk as soon as I drink it, you drink, and I will talk to you." ”

The other party didn't drink, and Gu Zhong didn't want to pour hard one cup at a time, and this time he came out, not just to drink, he put the wine glass down at the moment, and asked straight to the point: "That, Brother Jian, you and Mr. Lu are really going back?" ”

"Yes. But don't worry, this time I'll be back, about a month, and I'll be back. ””

Gu Zhong nodded, and got almost the same answer from Lu Li and Xu Yunjian's mouths in a row, which showed that this matter was not false. "Then, Brother Jian, this Mr. Lu...... A good kung fu? ……”

"You're trying to ask him what's going on, right?" Seeing that the other party nodded frequently, Xu Yunjian smiled, "If you talk about this, it will be a long story." Shall I tell you about it? ”

Lu Li's twenty years of life is indeed a bit legendary, with Xu Yunjian's narration, Gu Zhong and A Mao became more and more energetic, from the death of his parents when he was just born to the loneliness under the fence, and then to the stubborn surname who grew up a little bit, and did all kinds of evil, and then to his protection and care for the friends around him, and then to his excellent performance in Tangshan, and even rescued six companions in the earthquake, but he was crushed under the rubble for dozens of hours, and after being rescued, he had no breath or heartbeat. Almost buried alive. When it came to returning to the city, he began to take the lead and lead a few people on such a different path, Gu Zhong was a little stupid. "This ...... It's all true? ”

"Nonsense!" A story has been told for nearly two hours, and Xu Yunjian is a little hungry, but the prolongation of time also has an advantage, that is, his body can digest more alcohol. "Since I told you, can I still talk nonsense to you?"

"No, that's not what I meant. I mean, this ...... Mr. Lu, he doesn't seem to be a person who lives now, but seems to be a knight in the European Middle Ages? ”

"If you don't talk to me about this, I won't understand." Xu Yunjian picked up a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, chewing hard, "Little person, well, how should I describe it to you?" In the words of you Hong Kong people, what you do to others, others will do to you. But when it is used on him, it has to be changed: if others are good to him, he can't wait to take out his heart! ”

"Tiny? What's the name? ”

"Hey!" Xu Yunjian suddenly retracted his smile, and said with a straight face: "I forgot to tell you, you can't call him that." Seriously, the people who can call him by this nickname now, in addition to his family, are the few buddies who have the closest relationship with him. Don't be mistaken. ”

"Why? Isn't he happy to call him such a nickname? ”

"Yes."

Gu Zhong nodded, "I remember." By the way, Mr. Lu's martial arts, is it very powerful? ”

"Of course, it's amazing." Xu Yunjian said: "Moreover, he has been stammering since he was a child, he can not speak without speaking, and once he does it with someone, he is even more dumb - you have also seen him do it with others, but once he spoke halfway?" ”

Gu Zhong recalled, "Yes, indeed." ”

"So. And ah, Xiaoxiao's fights with people—I mean real fights, not in the case of teasing with friends—are very heavy, and when he was in school, from the class to the grade, to the school, there was no one who was not afraid of him. ”

Gu Zhong nodded, indicating that he understood, he pondered for a while, and finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most, "That, Brother Jian, you are also a scene person, according to you, this time we and Guo Yongsong's side of the matter, if we find Mr. Lu's head in the future, will he care?" ”

"Didn't Liu Jiang say that? He won't be allowed to move anymore? ”

How can such words be trusted? Besides, Nanquanmen is not Liu Jiang's master, and there is also Old Man Liu above him! Don't you know, Old Man Liu is in Xiangjiu and the New Territories, he is really a well-known figure, and he is old in the rivers and lakes, who dares not to buy three points of face? Guo Yongsong and Liu Jiang are brothers, and Old Man Liu is his father, so I'm afraid this matter will not be so easy to settle. ”

Xu Yunjian shook his head, and Gu Zhong's heart was cold, "What, can't you?" ”

"It's not a question of whether it works or not. Since this little person is in charge of this matter, he will not let go in the middle, but ...... Forget it, I won't say, it's better to wait until we get back, and then ask him yourself. ”

Gu Zhong secretly complained, they would not be able to come back until the beginning of November, and in the past nearly a month and a half, who knows what kind of accident will happen? If you wait for Luli to come back here, I'm afraid that the daylilies will be cold! "That, Brother Jian, please, can you help? Mr. Lu is your best friend, help us figure it out? ”

"It's not that I don't want to help, I'm the worst at this kind of brain-using thing. Let's look for him. ”

After talking to Xu Yunjian to no avail, Gu Zhong still didn't give up, and followed him to the rooftop again, Lu Li had just finished eating outside - when he arrived at the point, he couldn't find Xu Yunjian, and he didn't know where this guy had gone, he was very flustered for a while, but he couldn't think about it, so he had to solve the dinner problem first, and was ready to go out to find it again, who knew that he would come back with Gu Zhong again? Seeing that his face was flushed and full of alcohol, it could be seen that he had drunk too much. "What's the matter with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Yunjian laughed, his tongue became a little bigger, originally he didn't drink much, but when he left the restaurant, he poured more than half a glass, and it became like this, "Xiaoxiao, this...... Ah Zhong, I have something to tell you, you can talk, I'm asleep. ”

Lu Li was distressed and angry, and he didn't know what was going on, didn't he leave just now? Why did you recruit it back? When I entered the house, Xu Yunjian was like a little piglet, already asleep; I had no choice but to turn out again, nodding to Gu Zhong in the light reflected from the door and the building opposite, "Hmm." ”

Gu Zhong was stunned, was it the first time he heard him speak Cantonese? "What do you say about us?"

"There are only a few points, and there are not too many problems in listening, but the other party has to slow down as much as possible."

Gu Zhong smiled and said: "That, Mr. Lu, I hope you don't blame me for being troublesome, I went out with Mr. Xu just now, and I heard him say a lot of things about you back then, and the reason why you came to Hong Kong this time ......, to be honest, I admire you, I don't know what kind of situation you are in on the mainland, huh...... But this time, you took action to save my junior brother from danger, and it is true that Mr. is righteous in case of emergency. ”

His half-literate speech made Lu Li very sad, Cantonese in him, it was meant to guess in order to understand, but Gu Zhong didn't know whether it was to show his talent or some other reason, the second half of the sentence was half-literary, even more sad, he smiled and said: "You don't have to be polite, I haven't done my best to keep this matter going." ”

"Sorry, I don't agree with your words......"

Lu Li waved his hand and interrupted him, "That, Mr. Gu, I want to ask you for something." ”

"Yes?"

"As for me, I haven't gone to school a lot and don't have much knowledge, especially in terms of language, can you please not add foreign languages when you speak? Because I really don't understand. ”

Gu Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then pursed the corners of his mouth, with a look of can't help but laugh, but seeing Lu Li's very serious face, his smile immediately retracted, "Yes, Mr. Lu, I remember." ”

Lu Li laughed and said, "You have come to me several times, just for yesterday's incident, isn't it?" ”

"Yes. As long as Mr. Lu is willing to help, my master said that he is willing to take 50,000 Hong Kong dollars as a thank you. Gu Zhong saw that his expression changed from solemn to relaxed, thinking that his words had moved him, and immediately said: "However, I want to ask Mr. Lu to stay in Hong Kong for a few more days, and then you can return to the mainland after this matter is completely resolved." ”

Lu Li nodded, indicating that he understood what the other party said, "Mr. Gu, the situation is like this, I don't know what Xu Yunjian said to you, but I am used to saying things to each other, so as to save some unnecessary entanglement." I do know kung fu, and I ask myself, it's pretty good. Yesterday, I won Liu Jiang in your sparrow house, and I think you saw it. If something like this happened when I first came to Hong Kong, whether it was out of righteous indignation or for the sake of the 50,000 yuan face, I would definitely take care of this matter to the end. But now, no. ”

"Why?"

"Because I promised my aunt that I would return to the mainland before October 1."

"This ...... How many days are left? You...... Is it in time? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm back in China, and I have some other things to deal with - I didn't go home directly, and I have some friends and things to consider about my business in the future. To be honest, leaving only ten days already makes me feel ineffective. Luli said, "As for the matter between you and the Eight Poles, if you can continue to hold on until I come back, I don't mind helping; Otherwise, I can only say that I can't help it. ”

Gu Zhong said urgently: "Mr. Lu, if you have a request, please feel free to put it forward, if we can ......"

"Mr. Gu, do you think I think I think you give you less money? Let's be honest with you, that's not the case at all! First of all, I have something to do with myself; Two, I don't like your master very much; Third, I am not friends with you, and I don't have so many obligations to help you. ”

Gu Zhong was stunned, he could understand the two reasons before and after, but how did his master offend him? "My master ......"

Lu Li smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Forget it, Mr. Gu, there is no need to say these things again, and I will never stop for you too much - you will die of this heart!" I still say that in November, I will come to Hong Kong again, and when the time comes, you will still be persistent, and you can still persevere, I don't mind helping. Otherwise, forget it. ”

The other party had already said this, Gu Zhong knew that it would not be interesting to sit down again, so he got up and said goodbye, "Mr. Lu, what you said, if it is November, when you come back, you will ...... Help us? ”

"Anyway, I'll think about it."

"Alright then, I wish you a nice journey." (To be continued.) )
