Chapter 92: Jade Garden Mansion
"Ah Xing, you can drink the soda yourself, I'm not thirsty now." Although Shen Long likes Xing Ye's movies, he won't drink his leftover soda.
"Why hasn't the third uncle come yet, it's better for us to go directly to him, I have an address here." Ah Xing took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which was written the address of the third uncle's residence: Jade Garden Building Phase II, 85 Dundas Street, Mongkok, Kowloon...... The number of floors and room numbers in the back were soaked with sweat, and I couldn't see clearly, "Oops, it's wet, but it's okay, just wait for us to go to the place and ask." ”
"Then let's go." Shen Long knew that the third uncle was now playing mahjong at home and was playing enthusiastically, and he had not rested for three days, three nights and two hundred laps, so he didn't have to expect him to come over to pick up Ah Xing.
Shen Long went to take a look, found a minibus to Dundas Street, and took Ah Xing to the third uncle's house, where both of them curiously looked at the surroundings through the window.
Ah Xing's eyes were full of envy, although he was still in Kowloon and had not arrived on the more prosperous island, the surrounding buildings were much better than the current Guangzhou.
Shen Long is different, he is more curious on both sides of the street looking for the buildings that often appear in old port films; Mong Kok was called Mang Kok in ancient times, because the local miscanthus grass is overgrown, and the terrain is like a cow's horn sticking into the sea, the place is called Mang Kok Tsui, and the nearby village is named Mang Kok Village.
In 1909, the British government of Hong Kong began to develop Mong Kok, and in 1930 it was renamed Mong Kok, taking the meaning of prosperity; Mong Kok was originally an industrial area with cigarette factories, cotton mills and hardware factories, but with the opening up of mainland policies, enterprises here have gradually signed up for Shenzhen, which has cheaper land prices and manpower, and it has gradually become a shopping area and a residential area.
With an average of 130,000 people per square kilometer, Mong Kok has the highest population density in the world. Dragons and snakes are mixed, and the sounds of dogs and horses constitute the day and night of this place full of the smell of fireworks in the world; Many of the ground floors of Hong Kong live in cramped high-rise buildings in Mong Kok.
Before entering this world, Shen Long also deliberately checked the Cuiyuan Building, and found that there was really this place in the real world, and he also saw that someone released rental information, a three-bedroom, one-living room and two-bathroom house, renting one of the bedrooms, the bedroom area is only 120 square meters, or about 11 square meters, and it costs 19,000 Hong Kong dollars a month.
According to this calculation, this three-room house is estimated to be about 70 square meters, which shows the tension of the living environment of Xiangjiang people.
When they arrived at Dundas Street, the two got out of the car and found the location of No. 85 Jade Garden Building Phase II, Shen Long saw that there were high-rise buildings on both sides of the street, blocking the sun, and the buildings here were next to each other, and they were even connected to each other, so even the sunlight became a luxury for the residents inside.
It feels like the urban village where I lived when I first went to work, but the buildings here are taller than those in the urban village, and when I see this kind of place, Shen Long feels uncomfortable, it is really too depressing.
"It's seven o'clock, don't people here have to get up to work?" Ah Xing muttered in his mouth, looking at the security door of the Jade Garden Building, not knowing how to get in.
It just so happened that at this time, a was talking to his boyfriend who lived upstairs, and the boyfriend had to force him to say ten times I love you before opening the door, and Ah Xing was stunned for a while, thinking that "I love you" was the same as "Sesame Open the Door" is a password, as long as this password is reported, the security door will open.
"That's not the case, it's talking to the residents upstairs, and the residents will open the door for him." Shen Long hurriedly stopped him, and it was too stupid to shout "I love you" into the intercom system.
"So that's the case, Xiangjiang is really advanced; But Aaron, how do you know? You haven't been to Xiangjiang again? Ah Xing suddenly realized.
"I've seen it in movies." Shen Long made an excuse.
"So what do we do now? I'm shouting downstairs, the third uncle should be able to hear it, right? Ah Xing put down the box and came to the street, and was about to shout loudly when he looked up at the Jade Garden Building with his hands on his waist.
"It's so early, I'll wake people up!" Shen Long stopped him again, it's not that Ah Xing doesn't talk about civilization, it's just that the growth environment is different, in Guangzhou, people are acquaintances of the same unit and live together, everyone's work and rest time are similar, just shout when you encounter something, but this is not the case in Xiangjiang, Ah Xing has not yet adapted.
"What then? Are we just going to sit here and wait for the third uncle to come down? Ah Xing sat on the box and happened to see the news of the Sham Tseng Massacre published in the newspaper of the newsstand next to him, "Wow, rape and murder a family of seven in one night, so cruel?" ”
Ah Xing had an idea, "Hey, Aaron, why don't we go and tell the public security, just say that my third uncle is the murderer of the Sham Well Massacre, and I have a photo of the third uncle here, so the public security should help us find the third uncle's house, right?" ”
What kind of grudge does the third uncle have with you, what kind of grudge? You did this to him? Shen Long couldn't cry or laugh, "Ah Xing, even if it's in Guangzhou, reporting false police will be punished, right?" Be careful, the police find out that you are making a false police report and lock you in! ”
It's not a way to wait here, Shen Long made a suggestion, "Didn't you say that your third uncle likes to gamble, I guess he should be playing mahjong and forgot to pick you up, after a while, we saw people enter the door and followed in, and then one floor by one to shine over, I heard the sound of mahjong in that house, knock on the door and ask it!" ”
"Hey, that's a good idea, but did I say that my third uncle likes to gamble?" Ah Xing was a little confused, he didn't seem to have said this to Shen Long.
"I guess you forgot! Listen to me, hey, someone just opened the door, let's go inside! Shen Long hurriedly got up and followed, helping to jam the door and letting Ah Xing come in.
"It should be either the first floor or the seventh floor, let's go to the first floor and have a look!" Ah Xing took out the paper with blurred handwriting again, looked at it for a long time and said.
Walking from one end of the first floor to the other end, I heard that there were people in the house who made breakfast, some beat the children, and some popped, but there was no mahjong; In the narrow patio, you can only see a palm-sized piece of sky, and this sky is still encroached on and obscured by the shelves that people set up to dry clothes.
They took the elevator up to the seventh floor again to continue looking for it, this time they didn't go far before they heard the sound of mahjong coming from the room in front of them, Shen Long looked at the layout on both sides of the corridor again, it seems that he had seen it in the movie, this should be the house of Uncle Ah Xing.
Uncle Da's familiar laughter came from the room, and Ah Xing also heard it, "This is my third uncle's voice, Ah Long, you are so smart." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Shen Long to respond, he rushed to the door of the room and shouted, "Third uncle, I'm Ah Xing, I'm looking for you!" ”
The room was in chaos.
