Chapter 409: Survival in Hong Kong (54)

"Sister Xiaoju! Let's go to Temple Street! Brother He said that there are a lot of delicious things for sale there! I haven't eaten all the delicious things that Brother He said! Go! Go! "There is often this clever ghost, seeing that Xiao Ju Niang and Zhuang Zhuang are looking at Xiao Ju, and Xiao Ju has been frowning and not speaking, knowing that as long as Xiao Ju agrees, Xiao Ju Niang and Zhuang Zhuang will definitely have no opinion, and their own mother will definitely not object when they see Xiao Ju's family agreeing to go to the place where the three brothers secretly discussed it early in the morning. So he immediately stepped forward and stuck to Xiao Ju, and began to sprinkle coquettish on Xiao Ju with the coquettish Dafa that his father and mother had tried and tested.

Who said that only girls are lethal when they are spoiled? The coquettishness of the beautiful boy is also irresistible! At least at this time, Xiaoju couldn't resist the usual coquettishness, and she smiled helplessly, "Okay! Good! Good! Let's go to the streets you talked about! But I have one condition, it's okay to play in those places, but don't get separated! Remember to shout loudly! ”

"No problem!" The three brothers of the Chang family exchanged joyful glances with each other and replied in unison.

"I see everybody going to change their clothes! Preferably coarse cloth clothes! Xiao Ju glanced at the clothes on everyone's bodies slightly, only He Dazhuang's clothes were more suitable for the streets mentioned by the three brothers of the Chang family, and the clothes of other people would only make them look out of place with those streets.

No one objected to Xiao Ju's proposal, even He Dazhuang nodded again and again, praising Xiao Ju for thinking carefully and thoughtfully. Soon everyone changed their clothes and went out, leaving the area where they lived, and called a few Lixi to go out of Temple Street first. I often show the most excitement along the way, because I share a rickshaw with Zhuangzhuang. His strong ears were almost filled with what he said along the way.

The group came to Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei. Located in Temple Street, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Xiaoju has been there countless times in her previous life. It's just that at that time, Temple Street had evolved into a tourist place for tourists to shop and eat snacks. And the items sold are men's clothing, handicrafts, tea sets, jade, antiques, and even cheap electronics. There are also many fortune-telling and photo-reading stalls near Tin Hau Temple, and there are even Cantonese opera performances.

In addition, there are many stalls selling special snacks such as seafood, claypot rice and various types of noodles in Temple Street. In addition to the low price, the standard is also quite good, and it is also popular with local residents and even foreign tourists. But what Xiaoju remembers most is the snacks on Temple Street, I remember that every time I go to Hong Kong with my friends, they will invite their friends to go to Temple Street to taste the most local snacks.

Xiao Ju Zhilu said that the temple street in this era was completely different from what she had seen and heard in her previous life. Temple Street in this era was also known as 'Men's Street'. But it doesn't mean selling men's clothing. It's a place where men come to have fun. In this short street, there are brothels, smoke houses, gambling houses, ...... crowded one after another, to put it bluntly, Temple Street at this time was a place where men ate, drank, gambled, and took drugs.

This is also related to the demographics of Hong Kong, because of the large influx of immigrants. And these immigrants are all young men. There are very few women. This has caused a serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women in Hong Kong. A large number of young and strong laborers could not marry wives at all, so some gangsters saw that this was profitable, so they tried every means to abduct and sell some women from good families from the interior to Hong Kong. These women were forced into prostitution as soon as they arrived in Hong Kong, and over time, a few streets in Hong Kong became famous red light districts. This temple street is one of those districts, except that the prostitutes in the brothels here are aimed at the lower class of Chinese laborers.

Of course, in addition to the many brothels at this time, Temple Street was also a place for Chinese living at the bottom of Hong Kong to come to buy old goods, buy cheap goods and relax. Therefore, after dusk, the stalls set up in Temple Street are 600 meters long, selling a lot of miscellaneous things, including clothing, glasses, watches, toys, leather goods, star paintings, binoculars, jade, purple sand tea sets, coins, ornaments, old photos, old paintings, etc. There are also performances by Cantonese opera ticket holders, Gao Hu, Sanxian, Yueqin, Sha Drum, and Gao Bian Gong reverberation, which is very lively.

In her previous life, some snacks that Xiaoju would eat every time she went to Hong Kong were also sold on Temple Street at this time. Even against the south wall of the Tin Hau Temple, it is a relatively secluded place, and there are stalls for watching and telling fortunes. The stall owners all look like half-immortals, Xiao Ju and their group really have their own advantages, Xiao Ju can't move when she walks to the stall that sells food, no matter what, she has to stop and taste. This can't be blamed on Xiaoju, every snack evokes the memory of her previous life, and in a trance, it seems that the people around her at this time are the friends who traveled with their arms in the previous life, eating and playing on the snack street on Temple Street.

Xiao Ju has a preference for snacks, but Xiao Ju Niang and Yang Liu were fooled by a half-blind palmistry when they passed by the physiognomy and fortune-telling stalls, and the most common thing was to simply sit on the small stool placed by the other party, and take turns to stretch out their right hands to touch each other's bones.

Xiao Ju was just standing on the sidelines and watching the excitement at first, after all, the education she received in her previous life was a materialist education, plus the major she studied, so she was a complete atheist. But as the half-blind man touched Xiao Ju Niang's hand bones while telling Xiao Ju Niang some things from childhood to adulthood, some things Xiao Ju has personally experienced, such as famine, this person who touched the face said as if it was something he had personally experienced, plus Xiao Ju thought that he had come to this era inexplicably, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about this field that had been excluded in the past.

Xiao Ju Niang was very happy, because the person who touched her hand bones said that she had a blessing and her children could do it, so she suffered in the first half of her life, and in the second half of her life, she enjoyed the happiness of her children and lived a prosperous life. Originally, Xiao Ju Niang wanted Xiao Ju to touch some hand bones and ask about marriage, but Xiao Ju thought of her inexplicable origin, afraid that the other party really had some strange abilities, and then saw that she was coming, so she made an excuse to refuse.

Yang Liu was a little sullen by the words of the person who touched the bones of his hand. Because the person who touched the bones of her hand said that she was a delicate person living in a honey pot for the first half of her life, and although she lived a worry-free life in the second half of her life, she ended up living alone and desolate. Chang Qian saw that Yang Liu's smile when he came out was full of gloom after touching his bones, and he couldn't help glaring at the old man who touched his hand bones and said, "My mother has a husband and a son." How can you live alone and desolate? ”

"I'm just saying it based on the bones of my hands, and if you believe it, you don't believe it! This aunt, you should just listen to it for fun! Don't take it too seriously! The old man who touched the bones of his hand followed Chang Qian's voice and glanced at his white and black eyes in the direction of Chang Qian, but this glance made Chang Qian feel a little cold, Chang Qian, who wanted to say something, finally closed his mouth and said nothing.

After leaving from the photo booth, because Yang Liu's mood was not high, even the mood of the three brothers of the Chang family was a little low. Xiao Juniang's good mood is naturally not easy to show too obviously, so the next idle atmosphere is a little stuffy.

But there are often two youngest guys, and Zhuang Zhuang. Wander around and sell old binoculars, old watches, old coins, and ornaments for military use...... Waiting for the stall of the little thing. I started to get excited again. Even Chang Qian and Chang Gong looked at those little things, with a kind of interest in their eyes. Only He Dazhuang has been smiling and accompanying everyone to hang out, and he will not take a second look at anything he is interested in, let alone buy it. In his opinion, those things could neither fill the stomach. and not against hunger and cold. It is not urgently needed for him at the moment. What's more, his parents, brothers and sisters in the inland are still waiting for him to send money back to buy grain noodles and put them in the pot!

Unconsciously, Xiao Ju and his party walked to a place where red lanterns were hung in front of the door and some young women dressed up in fancy clothes. Xiao Ju frowned and looked at the young women on both sides of the street who were talking coquettishly and accosting the men passing by, and said with some unhappiness, "Let's go back!" Don't go forward! ”

Chang Qian is older after all, and he has been doing things in the foreign bank for so long, and he still knows more or less about these places and women from the usual chats of his colleagues in the foreign bank, at this time, listening to Xiao Ju say this, and then looking at the women who have come to their brothers and He Dazhuang with the smell of cheap perfume, they seem to understand the meaning of Xiao Ju's words, and they also say loudly, "Let's go back!" ”

When He Dazhuang was being pulled by a woman at this time and felt uncomfortable, as soon as he heard Chang Qian's words, he immediately pulled the woman who was holding his arm away, and said in his mouth, "Let's go!" These women have gangs behind them, don't get entangled with them, otherwise you will have to break the bank to get out! ”

Yang Liu and Xiao Ju Niang saw that those women who were dressed in revealing clothes and acted boldly had already changed their faces in fright, and at this time, He Dazhuang said this again, and turned around without saying anything and wanted to run in the direction where he came. But sometimes it backfires. Yang Liu raised his foot, and was pulled back by the words of a very familiar female voice.

"Ma'am! Wife! I'm Xiao Cui! Help me! I don't want to live in this kind of place! One of the women who came to Xiaoju's group looked quite old, and the woman with so thick makeup that she couldn't see her true face for a long time suddenly rushed to Yang Liu's kneel with a 'plop', and her mouth was pleading.

"Cui?" Yang Liu looked at the woman in front of her with some hesitation and even more indistinct face due to crying.

"Yes! I'm Tsui! Madam, save me again! I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life! I don't want to die yet, I still want to see my daughter Xiaoyu! The woman who knelt in front of Yang Liu and claimed to be Xiaocui said while crying.

"I heard Qian'er say, didn't you follow a rich man after you escaped to Hong Kong?" Yang Liu was surprised for a while, and quickly calmed down, the experience of more than a year made her no longer the Kuo wife who didn't know the fireworks in the world in the past.

"That guy was a bad gambler, and after losing a big gamble, he sold me into the kiln! Madam, be kind again, and redeem me. I will repay you by being a cow and a horse for the rest of my life! Xiao Cui slammed her head on the ground and cried and begged. Yang Liu looked at Xiao Cui's miserable appearance, and his heart softened a little. She turned her eyes to Chang Qian, who had been standing beside her, to see her eldest son's opinion.

"Mother, let's go! It's not easy for us to live on our own now, how can we have spare money to save people! Chang Qian looked at Xiao Cui, who was kneeling on the ground with his head down, not daring to look at him.

"Xiaoju, I know that you are rich! Help me! Xiao Cui saw that Chang Qian was pulling Yang Liu to leave after speaking, and suddenly pounced in front of Xiao Ju, who was standing on the side and watching the excitement. Xiao Ju took the three mothers and sons of the Chang family and her mother and younger brother to leave with Piva, so she didn't know what happened to Chang Qian and Xiaocui on the sunken ship, and she didn't know how Lu Dao and these two people were rescued later. Therefore, Chang Qian's attitude towards Xiaocui was a little strange, but he didn't talk much. At this time, he saw that Xiaocui no longer went to ask for the old master, but suddenly turned to himself, and a bad feeling floated in his heart.

"How can I have money!" Xiao Ju denied it without thinking about it. At the same time, her heart secretly belly Fei Xiaocui, even your soft-hearted old master doesn't want to take care of you, it seems that you are definitely not a good bird!

"You've got money! I know you're rich! Xiao Cui raised her head and looked at Xiao Ju with a threatening look in her eyes. When Xiao Ju Niang and Zhuang Zhuang heard Xiao Cui's words, they were a little panicked, and in the future, Xiao Ju's secret was known to the maid called Xiao Cui in the past, and they looked at Xiao Ju with some nervousness, and then looked at Xiao Cui who was kneeling on the ground but was no longer a begging gesture. Especially Zhuangzhuang, a murderous aura flashed in his always clear eyes.

"Oh! I know what you're referring to! Xiao Ju saw Xiao Cui looking at her with threatening eyes, and suddenly understood what the other party was referring to, and she didn't feel a little funny, and the look on her face came out unconsciously, "I am rich, and I have already sunk into the sea with the ship!" If you want to tell your current master, go ahead! Let your master go out into the sea to catch it! ”

Xiao Ju's words ruthlessly sucked away the last straw that Xiao Cui held in her heart, and she suddenly fell to the ground like a fish that had been pulled out of her backbone. At this time, two men dressed in black walked out of the door of the nearest room with lanterns, these two walked up to Xiaocui and kicked with their feet, and at the same time scolded in their mouths, "They are all old women, and they always want to find someone to redeem themselves!" Look at the clothes of those people, are there people who can help you redeem yourself? The two of them scolded and glanced at Xiao Ju's group with contemptuous eyes.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to these two people, and these two people may also feel a little bored, so they dragged Xiao Cui, who was crawling on the ground, back.

Because of Xiaocui's matter, everyone was not interested in going shopping anymore, and originally planned to go to Tongcai Street, which is not far from Temple Street, which mainly sells some feminine products! It's a pity that everyone was disgusted by what happened just now, and unanimously chose to go home and not go shopping. (To be continued......)
