Chapter 1: Overboard
"Sneeze"
Li Xuan, who was dripping with water, sneezed fiercely and touched his wet short hair with his right hand. Looking at the sparkling sea in front of him at night, Li Xuan, who was standing on the dock, was a little overwhelmed.
What's going on?
Li Xuan is a native of Hunan Province, and after graduating from a third-rate university, he found a small foreign trade company in the provincial capital to work, and has been eating and drinking for several years. No, this year's May Day is coming, but something happened to the foundry here in Shenzhen, and the fat boss sent him over to take a look.
This work is a rare good thing for Li Xuan, Hong Kong is next to Shenzhen, and he can't take advantage of the May Day holiday to go shopping. Hurriedly applied for the Hong Kong and Macao pass, and Li Xuan went to Shenzhen alone, but he went to Hong Kong by himself in less than two days.
Li Xuan arrived in Hong Kong alone on May 1 and found a hotel to rest for a night. Early the next morning, Li Xuan went out in a white vest and white pants. Today, I heard that there was a lively scene, and I heard that a little yellow duck was launched in the water today, and the media on both sides of the strait have been hyping up this matter in the past two days. Li Xuan, who loves to be lively since his birth, can't miss it, as for what is a little yellow duck? How did Li Xuan know that he grew up playing with mud when he was a child.
casually took a taxi, and Li Xuan went directly to Harbour City.
"Wow, so many people!" Li Xuan, who had just gotten out of the car, was frightened by the dense crowd of people along the Gang Avenue. Looking behind through the crowd, a huge yellow duck was floating on the surface of the sea, sticking out of the dock of the Boss of the Coast.
"Let's let, let's let!" Li Xuan took out the mobile phone in his trouser pocket and squeezed it to the front, how can he prove that he has traveled to Hong Kong without taking some photos?
"You squeeze a yarn!"
"Fight the streets, squeeze the thunder!"
"Oh, the cake seller, Shet!"
Well? Li Xuan, who was squeezing in, was stunned, did he just step on an international friend? When he looked back, a four-eyed boy in his twenties was looking at him viciously.
Cut! It turned out to be a banana man, Li Xuan felt a burst of contempt in his heart, turned his head and squeezed forward again.
Finally squeezed to the shore, Li Xuan picked up the mobile phone in his hand and slapped at the little yellow duck. Wow, there is also a tender model in a bikini, who is scratching his head next to the little yellow duck, and Li Xuan can't let it go.
"Look, that tender mold is leaking!" Suddenly there was a loud shout from the crowd.
What the? Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a surge in the crowd, and everyone rushed towards the dock. Why so many perverts? Li Xuan was speechless for a while, and hurriedly followed the crowd towards the dock.
"Ah" There was a sudden scream next to him, Li Xuan quickly took away his right foot, and he stepped on someone again.
"Yes......" Li Xuan quickly turned his head and prepared to apologize.
"You idiot, it's you again!" Four-Eyed Boy interrupted Li Xuan's apology with a vicious remark.
Frowning for a moment, Li Xuan didn't plan to apologize, he turned around and continued to squeeze forward, Li Xuan kicked him and scolded Li Xuan with him, which just leveled off!
"Bang Bang" Li Xuan picked up his mobile phone and leaned on the guardrail of the dock and slapped at the tender model, getting closer, Li Xuan looked at the young model with a panicked expression, and slowly covered the dew point's chest with his hand, this is a big deal.
Li Xuan, who was getting carried away, suddenly felt a strong force coming from his back shoulder, and his upper body involuntarily probed out of the railing. What's going on? Li Xuan, who was about to fall into the sea, turned his head to look, and the four-eyed boy was standing behind him with a sneer.
This villain! Li Xuan was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his left hand to pull the railing, but unfortunately it was too late.
"Puff"
A huge splash of water rolled up, and Li Xuan fell into the sea solidly. This sows bad, the phone is not waterproof!
"Four-eyed boy, I'll do ......" Li Xuan, who had sunk into the sea, floated up with a kick, and as soon as he rushed out of the water, Li Xuan scolded at the dock. It's a pity that as soon as he scolded half a sentence, Li Xuan was stunned.
What's going on? Why is it dark? Li Xuan looked at the dark night sky and was startled. Moreover, there was no one left on the dock. Li Xuan hurriedly paddled the water and looked sideways, the huge little yellow duck was gone, the tender model was gone, and only a lone cruise ship was parked on the pier.
What the hell is going on? Why is it so late at night? I remember that it was still morning, and the weather was fine. Looking at the empty dock and the deep water, Li Xuan felt a sudden chill on his back, grabbed the mobile phone with the screen black in his left hand and hurriedly climbed ashore.
It seemed that he was still in Harbour City, Li Xuan looked at the dock and then at the high-rise buildings along the coast. However, no, the building in front of me was clearly inlaid with sunscreen glass, but now it has become an old-fashioned building with white walls and green windows. There is also the building next to it, which obviously has a huge LED display on it, but now it has also become bare.
"Sneeze"
A sea breeze blew, and Li Xuan sneezed fiercely. Rubbing his nose, Li Xuan looked at the street that was obviously still populated in the distance and walked forward slowly.
Half an hour ago in the morning, Li Xuan got off a taxi here. Half an hour later, at night, Li Xuan stood beside the road again. There was not a single pedestrian on the side of the road late at night, and the commercial building next to it was also dark and silent at this time, except for a red taxi passing by from time to time on the road.
Looking at the taxis whizzing by him, Li Xuan hesitantly raised half of his hand and put it down, he still hasn't figured out what's going on. Looking at another car, Li Xuan gritted his teeth and raised his right hand.
A taxi stopped next to Li Xuan, and the driver was a man with thick eyebrows. Looking at Li Xuan on the side of the road [***], he frowned, and saw that Li Xuan hadn't gotten into the car for a long time, so he lowered the window and asked, "Xinsang, Lei Gray Edge?" ”
Colloquialism? I can only listen to it, Li Xuan cautiously leaned on the window and asked in Mandarin, "Master, do you know what time it is?" ”
The driver didn't answer Li Xuan's words at all, but looked at Li Xuan carefully before asking in broken Mandarin, "Four Fu?" The continent just swam over? ”
Uh, swim? Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, why did he still use travel in Hong Kong? However, he was indeed from the mainland, so Li Xuan hurriedly said: "Yes, I am from the mainland......"
"Hit the streets!" The driver scolded and interrupted Li Xuan's words, and started the taxi to drive away in Li Xuan's stunned gaze.
What's going on? Isn't this guy afraid of complaints? Li Xuan scratched the back of his head, he didn't dare to call a taxi anymore, so he walked along the road.
The further you go, the fewer and fewer high-rise buildings, but the small buildings on the first floor full of various shops in Hong Kong film and television have gradually increased. Although many of them are closed now, Li Xuan still sees many that are open all night.
However, Li Xuan still felt that something was getting more and more wrong, and several groups of young people he met on the road looked at him with strange expressions, and he also looked at others with strange expressions. Li Xuan had to blame, he had seen several people wearing plaid clothes and bell bottoms with long hair, he was not surprised. Who is still dressed like this these days? Thinking that he had gone from morning to night, a terrible thought appeared in Li Xuan's mind.
Don't? Crossed on your own?
This thought couldn't be stopped, Li Xuan saw that there was a beef pill shop next to him that was open all night and rushed in, startling the boss who was napping inside.
"Xinsang, what's the food?" The shopkeeper asked cautiously.
Li Xuan didn't speak, and looked at the wall calendar on the wall in a daze.
"1978-05-02 said, Tuesday, the twenty-sixth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, and the Jiazi of the Bingchen month of the Wuwu year. Marriageable ......"
The big black characters on the wall calendar frightened Li Xuan, he really crossed over! Moreover, it is still the most painful to wear!
"Eat? Xinsang? The shopkeeper asked again.
Now Li Xuan finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly replied: "Ah, don't eat, don't eat, I'm disturbed." After speaking, he didn't wait for the shopkeeper to reply, and ran out in a hurry.
Li Xuan, who was walking on the road in a daze, was distressed now, how could he cross it? I just fell into the sea once, what should I do now? Go back to the beach and jump again? Definitely not, he soaked in the sea for a while and didn't see him back. There is no going back now, thinking about his future parents, Li Xuan felt bitter in his heart. Fortunately, he still has an older brother, otherwise he would be twenty-eight years old, and his mother would have forced him to go back on a blind date if he hadn't been busy taking his little nephew, and would have let him run around on May Day.
However, Li Xuan has a headache again, how can he survive in this world? 78 years, Hong Kong, what does he have? The vernacular can't, the traditional Chinese can't, these are enough for him to drink a pot. What about going back to the mainland? The turmoil over there has just ended, how can a Hong Kong person who can't speak vernacular explain to that side? Will it be ......, Li Xuan didn't dare to think about it. What about going to Taiwan Bay? No, Li Xuan was chasing a Taiwan entertainment book before he came over, but he knew what the hell it was like over there, and it was even harder to explain than going to the mainland.
Li Xuan felt that his head was big for a while!
"Bang"
Li Xuan, who didn't pay attention to the road, was knocked to the ground by someone.
"Yo, street guy, dare to hit Brother Fei?" Before Li Xuan could say sorry while lying on the ground, an arrogant voice shouted first.
Li Xuan looked at the four pairs of feet that appeared in front of him, and stood up from the ground with a grunt. Looking at the four young people in front of him with their chests, the patches of tattoos on their chest muscles, Li Xuan's cold sweat flowed down his forehead. Oops! Forget that the most powerful people in Hong Kong in this era are these people who mix with the gangsters. Thinking of the old boy he watched when he was a child, Li Xuan felt that his calves began to tremble.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Li Xuan hurriedly apologized, and a few seconds later a few knives might have fallen from the sky.
The four people on the opposite side didn't speak at this time, and looked at Li Xuan together, and one of them also took Li Xuan's half-dried clothes and sniffed them and said, "It smells of seawater."
"Just swam over from the other side?" A little gangster with a dragon tattoo on his chest on the far left asked, listening to the voice that was the one who had just scolded Li Xuan.
"Huh?" Li Xuan quickly reacted and immediately replied, "Yes, yes." ”
This little gangster became even more arrogant, and directly rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand and said to Li Xuan: "Seeing that you just came, you don't need to break your hands and feet if you hit Brother Fei, so be filial and make amends." ”
"Huh?" Li Xuan is in a hurry, this gangster wants money. Li Xuan's wallet is still in his trouser pocket, and there is not only an old man's head in the bag, but he also exchanged more than 2,000 Hong Kong dollars in order to come to Hong Kong to play. However, this is a coin of the 21st century, and Li Xuan knows that if he takes out that money, the four people in front of him will definitely hack him to death.
Li Xuan's face became even more bitter, and the face of the little gangster beside him darkened suddenly.
"Okay, Ah Tang, what kind of money can a stowaway boy have, let's go!" It was still the righteous anger of the person who seemed to be Brother Fei, and he relieved Li Xuan of the siege, and after speaking, he turned around and left with the other two people, leaving only Ah Tang with a black face.
"You're lucky today!" Ah Tang let go of a sentence and followed Fei Ge and his gang.
"Shhh
Li Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief, this is too dangerous, Li Xuan has never encountered this kind of thing when he is so big. Looking at the four people who were far away, Li Xuan hurriedly turned around and walked to the other side.
It was obviously four or five o'clock in the morning, and the eastern sky had begun to whiten, and it seemed that it was almost dawn. Li Xuan looked in his direction, obviously going north, this is the rhythm of going back to the mainland, Li Xuan sighed.
After more than an hour of stop-and-go, Li Xuan finally got tired. found a tea restaurant that had not yet opened, and Li Xuan sat on the steps with a buttocks, resting while looking at the shop numbers around him.
"This is Liang Ji Tea Restaurant, that is Fuxing Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Da Niu Pill King, this name is domineering! But how can there be an authentic Sichuan hot pot? Aren't you afraid that business will be bad? Yes, there is also a Baijiu photographic equipment company here, is Hong Kong's film industry so developed now? ”
Li Xuan looked around and observed the pedestrians on the road who had begun to increase. In fact, people in this era are not very rustic, the same suit trousers or vest shorts, but the color is a little old-fashioned. Of course, those literary young men wearing plaid shirts and bell bottoms and women wearing thick shoulders and heavy makeup don't count, Li Xuan feels that it is no longer rustic but weird.
"Hey, little Feizai, it's time to open the door, don't get in the way!"
A shout suddenly came from next to Li Xuan, and then he heard the sound of the door opening clanging. Turning his head, Li Xuan was startled, a middle-aged man with a meaty face was looking at him while opening the door.
It didn't look like a person to mess with, Li Xuan, who had just been almost robbed, stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll go!" ”
After Li Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave, but where else could he go if he left?
"Wait! You just came from the mainland? The middle-aged man behind him suddenly shouted.
Li Xuan only felt a beat in his heart, this sentence was not a vernacular, but like Mandarin with a Sichuan accent.
