Chapter 97: The Bandit of the Flower Street Market
The brown-haired handsome man quickly disappeared into the crowd, and the two followed.
The width of the street of Hualou Street is more than ten meters, there are many people, many cars, many horses, and many dogs, such a crowded street, since there are still hawkers carrying flat shoulders, squatting on the road casually to sell noodles, people selling noodles here, there are people pulling rickshaws, seeing the hawker in front of him squatting like this, the coachman turned to the left and collided with the oncoming carriage.
With a "Peng" sound, the carriage and rickshaw were all knocked over on their backs.
When the foreigner patrol was about to chase the brown-haired handsome guy, there was a car accident on this road at this time.
The foreigner in the carriage immediately jumped down and rebuked: "What a stupid pig!" (What a stupid pig)
The foreigner patrol saw that the foreigners who jumped out of the car were all foreigners, and as a patrolman, he wanted to intervene, so he immediately gave up chasing the brown-haired handsome guy and came to mediate the matter in front of him first.
The foreigner patrolled at a coachman and a groom, and scolded: "What kind of coachman can you be if you don't know how to pull a cart!" ”
The coachman immediately bent down and accompanied the foreigner to patrol him: "I'm sorry for my lord, it's just that... The noodle seller blocked the road. ”
The coachman pointed to the vendor who picked up the flat and sold noodles, where was there still a figure, and when he saw the accident, he quickly ran away.
The passenger in the carriage was wearing a black tuxedo and a high silk top hat on his head, and he looked proud: "Hi officer, I about to late, he should make compensation to our loss." (I'm going to be late, he wants to compensate me for my losses)
The driver also immediately stepped forward to accompany the foreigner, the meanness of the foreigner compared with the tolerance of the locals, and the foreigner in the rickshaw also climbed out and scolded: "What a stupid further!" )
A few people were arguing on the main road, and with the foreigners patrolling, the whole road was crowded.
The three guards at the entrance of the Anglican Hospital opposite, these three guards were eating mung bean cake separately, this mung bean cake was too hot, Huang Si blew the cake and said: "Two big brothers, hurry up and eat, this is a famous product here." Qiu Da, a big man with a relatively large seniority, praised: "It's still our little brother who is on the road, hehe!" Xiao Zhong, another big-mouthed guard, nodded in agreement.
The three of them looked at the impassable street, eating pastries and watching the excitement.
At this time, the foreigner patrolled and said: "All the money you earned today will be given to this foreigner passenger to make up for his loss!" ”
When the coachman heard it like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to say sorry, I have a mother and children at home, and I rely on me to pull the car to support them! I still paid the car rental company.
The foreigner immediately said: "Don't pretend to be pitiful to me, otherwise I will tell your company that you can never pull a car, and there are still many people outside who want to do your work!" ”
This patrol is not wrong at all, after the slender men in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River followed the boat to Hankou, many of them suddenly lost their jobs, either becoming ruffians and hooligans everywhere to rob, or becoming homeless beggars, and at least forty or fifty people were robbing the work of pulling carts.
The coachman knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "I'm sorry adults, I'll pay for it, please let me continue to pull the car, I still have a family to raise!" ”
The three walled guards looked at the coachman quite pitifully.
Huang Sidao: "There are still many poor people in the city, who are bullied by these foreigners, unlike our walled city, although there are many poor people, everyone is very happy." ”
Qiu Da said: "Thanks to the proper management of our village owner, the people of the city have enough food and clothing. ”
The big-mouthed guard Xiao Zhong said: "I hope that the people of our walled city can be happy forever." ”
Soon the car accident between the man and the horse was finally resolved, everyone gave way and lost money, it is estimated that these foreigners are also about to rush to the banquet, and they have no time to spend themselves on the street, and the crowd of onlookers watching the excitement in the middle of the road are also scattered.
The two patrols watched the carriage go away.
The tall foreigner quickly said to his companion, "Do you now know why you have to invite a foreigner to patrol here?" Because without me, how could these foreigners give up? ”
The Chinese patrol nodded yes, and the foreigners patrolled seven times as much as the Chinese patrol, which can be said to be racist, or it can be said that there are some things that only foreigners can settle.
They looked at the back of the departing carriage and turned their heads to continue the patrol, when the patrol suddenly saw three guards who looked like turtles eating while on guard?
They couldn't help laughing when they saw how clumsy and unprofessional the three guards were, and the foreigner said to his companions, "These guards learn from us to wear uniforms, but you see that they don't even have a decent gun, it's ridiculous." I don't think they even have a third of you. ”
To put it bluntly, this foreigner patrol is taking the opportunity to pretend to be forced, which means that you Chinese only have one-seventh of my money, and of course their money is pitiful.
The Chinese patrol smiled: "You can understand that their weapons are so shabby, I heard that these are guards from the walled city, using batons, if you meet the hooligans in the city, you will definitely be killed." ”
The foreigner's patrol expression was arrogant and domineering: "Look at them in police uniforms like monkeys performing acrobatics, hahaha." ”
The two of them kept laughing, and the three guards on the opposite side felt uncomfortable when they saw the two concession patrols smiling at them.
Qiu Da, the big guard next to Huang Si, asked, "Hey! Do you think these two people, a local and a foreigner, are laughing at us? ”
Huang Si ate mung bean cake and said, "I think so." ”
Qiu Da said: "Look down on us, I'll go up and scold them." ”
Xiao Zhong, another guard with large lips, immediately pulled his shoulder and said, "Before you step forward, why don't you look at what is on someone's waist?" ”
Qiu Da took a closer look, the pistol hung on his waist, and then looked at the baton on his waist, although Xiao Zhong also held a bird gun, but this bird gun was a product from 1860, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom War was used until now, and the weapon was separated by a generation.
On the other side, the handsome brown-haired guy who got into the flow of people also walked out of the crowd, and he cautiously walked to the gathering place of the warblers on Hualou Street.
This Western-style western-style building has red lanterns hanging under each building.
The five or six storefront downstairs stood a few warblers wearing tight-fitting cheongsam, the cheongsam was broken and bright, which was quite different from ordinary women, and several lewd uncles stared at these warblers from head to toe, thinking about the yellow-faced woman who was promised by their parents at home, this warbler's appearance and figure really made their saliva flow.
In addition to the obscene uncle, there are foreigners who like exotic flavors looking at these warblers, they smile lewdly, and from time to time pinch their chests with their arms full of body hair, and laugh while pinching, and the warblers can only laugh politely.
The lights on the street of Hualou were dim, and the warbler whispered in a prodigal tone: "Brother, don't look at it, let's go upstairs to play?" "The beautiful girl in the north lives here, and the atmosphere and height really make the southern man who is not so tall salivate.
