Chapter 6 [Tang Ren? Detective Chinatown! 】
Gu Ren said hello to Jack on the front foot, followed Mo Youqian and walked towards the inner room of the martial arts hall, and within a few minutes, with a "clang", the door was pushed open from the outside. Many disciples raised their eyes and looked, oh, it was the senior sister "Chen Ying" who came.
"Senior sister!" "Senior sister is here." "Senior sister, I heard that you were recently admitted to the New York Police Department?" "Cool! My sister was actually admitted to the police in New York! ”
Some of the disciples who knew Chen Ying greeted him warmly.
In the face of everyone's warm greetings and questions, Chen Ying answered a few words simply, then looked at Ah Long and asked, "Is the master inside?" ”
"Yes, the master is inside." Ah Long hurriedly replied, and suddenly remembered that Senior Brother had also come just now, and said again: "Senior Sister, Senior Brother Gu is also here." ”
"Ah Ren is here too!" Hearing that Gu Ren was also there, Chen Ying's eyes lit up.
"Well, Senior Brother Gu followed the master into the back room."
"You practice hard, I'll go in and find the master."
Chen Ying didn't say much, and went straight to the inner room of the martial arts hall.
……
Martial arts hall inner house.
"Master, don't look at it, I'm not hurt." In the face of Mo Youqian's hands up and down, although Gu Ren resisted a little, he still honestly let the old man, who had always watched him grow up, touch his hands and feet, so that he could rest assured that he was indeed not injured at all.
"It's better to check it out, you kid loves to be naughty with me when you're a child, and you don't say anything about being injured." When Mo Youqian heard Gu Ren's words, he raised his head and glanced at him, withdrew his two hands, sat on the chair and said, "I really don't know what you think?" If you don't do your serious work, you have to run behind Applejack's kid to do such a dangerous thing, if you let Lao Dou and Lao Mu still exist, wouldn't you be angry and vomit blood. ”
"Actually, it's not particularly dangerous, it's just running behind others." Li Jie said to the outside world that he was working on a domestic ocean-going cargo ship, and Gu Ren naturally found this reason to deal with Mo Youqian, the elder of the family.
"Isn't it dangerous to run a boat?" Mo Youqian looked at Gu Ren with an indifferent look, blew his beard and glared: "You don't know, the eldest son of the Li family at No. 128 in front of him didn't run the boat behind the people in his early years, and then the people of the whole ship were kidnapped by pirates, and it is useless to call the police, these foreign devils don't care at all, or the crew members themselves put together the ransom to ask someone to help him release it!" ”
Pirate? I just played a pirate ship game the other day, and I killed seven minions in a row with a sniper rifle, so what's there to be afraid of! Gu Ren silently thought about the events of the past few days, and only complained two sentences in his heart, so he naturally didn't dare to say it in front of Mo Youqian.
Gu Ren was afraid that Mo Youqian would continue to nag, so he hurriedly said: "It's different now, master, if the cargo ship goes to sea, there will be warships from neighboring countries along the route to escort it, and our ship doesn't go to Somalia, so we can't meet any pirates." ”
"Then you better be careful, who knew that there would be a pirate on the route that day."
"No, master, it's not what it used to be now, it's safe to run a boat."
Mo Youqian looked at Gu Ren's perfunctory look, and couldn't help but say seriously: "Ah Ren, you are still young, remember to be careful in everything, in order to withstand the sinister rivers and lakes." Sometimes the danger doesn't have to come from an unknown enemy, it's always around you, although I haven't done this boating business, but I have lived in Chinatown for almost 30 years, and I have heard countless real people and real things! ”
Feeling Mo Youqian's concern for himself, Gu Ren's heart warmed, and he nodded seriously and said, "Knowing the master, I will definitely be careful." ”
"Master, master......"
Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded outside the house.
"It's A-Ying." Mo Youqian heard that this person who spoke broken Chinese was his female apprentice Chen Ying.
A-Ying? Chen Ying?
Gu Ren's brows furrowed, and a lot of memories related to Chen Ying instantly appeared in his mind, since he was seven or eight years old, 'Gu Ren' had known Chen Ying, but unlike 'Gu Ren', Chen Ying was a fourth-generation Chinese immigrant.
Chen Ying's grandfather immigrated to the United States as early as the Republic of China, and her grandfather and father grew up in the United States, but because of his grandfather's relationship, his grandfather married the daughter of a well-known figure in New York's Chinatown at that time, and later gave birth to Chen Ying's father.
Chen's father received a Western-style education since he was a child, and he had begun to gradually Westernize, and when Chen's father grew up, he married an American as his wife.
In the early years, for some reason, the family still lived near Chinatown, but with the growing strength of China in recent years, the official discrimination against Asian Americans in the United States has gradually subsided, and Chen Ying's grandfather died, and Chen Ying's parents moved out of Chinatown with Chen Ying because of work, and lived in Manhattan, a wealthy area of New York.
Although he moved to Manhattan, Chen Ying still often goes back to the Mojia Martial Arts Gym in Chinatown to practice martial arts, and the relationship with the original owner 'Gu Ren' has always been very good, but in the past year or so, Chen Ying has been busy with the assessment of the New York Police Department, plus Gu Ren has been reborn through the journey, in order to complete the novice task, he has been training with a veteran for most of the year, so the two have not met for a long time.
"Treading ......"
With the crisp sound of high heels on the floor tiles, a young girl in a black suit with long curly hair walked in quickly.
"A-Ying, why are you free to come over today?" Mo Youqian said with a smile.
Chen Ying said in a non-proficient Chinese language: "Master, I just got the appointment notice from the New York Police Department yesterday, and I happened to report to the Chinatown Police Department, so I stopped by to see your old man." ”
"Got in? Okay, if you are in this Chinatown police station in the future, it must be a lot more stable, those foreign ......" Mo Youqian just wanted to talk about foreign devils, but suddenly remembered that Chen Ying's mother was an American, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly stopped his mouth and said with a sneer: "It's rare that A-Ying has this heart, and in the future, when I work in Chinatown, if there is anything that needs the master's help, although I open my mouth, I have lived here for more than 30 years, and I dare not say how majestic I am, but there are still quite a lot of people who know me in this place." ”
"I'll trouble you later, master." Chen Ying smiled slightly, on the first day of her tenure, she came directly to Chinatown to find the master, for the master's words.
You must know that Mo Youqian has been in New York's Chinatown for more than 30 years, and he is also the master of the martial arts hall, so he can be said to be a leading figure in the Chinatown area.
"Hey, you're my apprentice, it's nothing." Mo Youqian waved his hand, and was about to continue to say something, when he suddenly noticed that Chen Ying's eyes had been staring at Gu Ren, and the corners of his mouth smiled, "Okay, master, I still have to go to the front to teach boxing, Ah Ying, you have been busy with the police exam for most of the year, and it just so happened that Ah Ren came back from the boat, and the two of you have a good reminiscence." ”
After Mo Youqian finished speaking, he turned around and went out, leaving Gu Ren and Chen Ying behind, the room was dull for a moment, and Chen Ying said first: "I haven't seen Gu Ren for a long time." ”
"yes, it's been almost a year." Gu Ren opened his mouth to respond, and looked at Chen Ying.
I don't know if I haven't seen each other for more than a year, or if Chen Ying has been busy joining the police station recently, and the beautiful face of mixed race is a little less innocent and cute at the moment, with a black lady's suit, it adds a bit of perseverance and heroism, but it is obviously different from the appearance in Gu Ren's memory.
In the past, it could be described as cute and beautiful, but now it is heroic and mature.
Chen Yingdao: "How are you doing?" I heard from the master that you work on a cargo ship behind people. ”
Gu Ren said casually: "It's okay, working at sea is a little boring." ”
"Really? I've also heard people say that working on a cargo ship is boring. ”
“……”
The two chatted a few words without a match, and Chen Ying said hesitantly: "Gu Ren, I'm curious that according to your academic qualifications, you can find an easy and decent job, how did you think of working on a cargo ship?" ”
"I don't know about this, maybe it's just the right time." Gu Ren smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"I went to the New York Police Department in the morning, and the bureau happened to be recruiting auxiliary police ......officers," Chen Ying paused, and said: "I just joined the Chinatown area, and I have always wanted to find someone who is familiar with this place as an assistant, if you are interested, I can help you apply." ”
"Auxiliaries. Forget it, I feel that working on a ship is quite suitable for me, and working on a ship, and being able to see different countries, is equivalent to free travel, I feel good. Gu Ren said while silently complaining in his heart that his golden finger is not like in some online novels, it is a police system.
Chen Ying pursed her lips, "Okay, if you change your mind, you can tell me at any time." ”
"No problem." Gu Ren smiled and nodded.
"Ah Ren?!"
Hearing Mo Youqian's shout outside the house, Gu Ren said to Chen Ying: "The master called me, I'll go out and have a look first." ”
"Let's go out together."
With that, the two walked out of the house together.
I saw Mo Youqian sitting at the telephone table next to the hall, his brows furrowed, as if thinking about something, and asked into the phone, "You said you are Ah Ren?" ”
"It's wet! I'm Tang Ren! Ahh ”
Listening to the other party's broken Cantonese, Mo Youqian covered his forehead and said, "Speak Chinese to me!" ”
"It's the master!" Tang Ren on the other end of the phone hurriedly transferred to Chinese.
"Tang Ren, why did you think of calling me? Are you okay back home? Mo Youqian finally remembered who Tang Ren was.
Tang Ren said: "Master, I'm not in my hometown anymore, I now live in Thailand's Chinatown, it's been several years, and I just got your phone number in the United States from my relatives in my hometown not long ago. ”
"Hey, hey... Tang Ren said, what's the matter with the master. Mo Youqian laughed dryly, although he hadn't been back for more than ten years, he still remembered that Tang Ren, this kid, was definitely not this kind of person who respected teachers, otherwise, he wouldn't have made a phone call from the ocean for more than ten years.
"Master, I really can't hide it from your old man, you are worthy of knowing astronomy, geography, yin and yang gossip, Qimen Dunjia, omniscient and omniscient......"
"Get to the point!"
"It's such a master, I want to open a Mojia martial arts hall here in Thailand's Chinatown......"
The inferior telephone has a lot of amplification, even if Gu Ren is two meters away from Mo Youqian, he can still hear the voice of the person on the other end of the phone.
Tang Ren...... Chinatown ...... Thailand Mo Jiaquan ......
The combination of these three made Gu Ren inexplicably think of a movie "Detective Chinatown" he had watched.
I vaguely remember that the name of the character played by the baby is Tang Ren.
Thinking of this, Gu Ren glanced at Mo Youqian, and then looked back sharply at Chen Ying, who was staring at him.
Depend on! I said why did I hear Mo Youqian's name so familiar before, and I thought it was a homonym that misled me, but now it seems that this is not only the world of the death squad, but also the world of Chinatown detectives!
Gu Ren's eyes widened, and his face was incredulous.
