Chapter 397: Pigpen Walled City
Although the movie "Kung Fu" is regarded as a classic by many people, when it was first screened, it caused a lot of criticism and even insults.
There are many film critics who directly define it as garbage......
In fact, the vast majority of Zhou Xingxing's films were not initially rated high.
For example, "Journey to the West", "The King of Comedy", "Kung Fu" and so on.
Not only is the evaluation not high, but it is even criticized by many so-called professionals.
However, after years of precipitation and testing, many people found out that it was not the movie garbage made by Zhou Xingxing, but that they didn't understand it at all.
As Zhou Xingxing once said, to the effect that you think I am filming comedy, in fact, I am filming tragedy......
He ushered in an era of cinema.
One, the era of nonsense represented by the little people.
In an exaggerated way of expression, a plate of sweet and sour, spicy and spicy, with five flavors, seems to be messy, but is actually delicious.
Anyway, Zhou Xingxing's movies used to be Gao Xing's favorite to watch, and many classic plots and classic lines are still fresh in my memory.
That's why he chose the movie world of kung fu.
Of course, there is another reason that the background of this world is indeed wonderful.
……
Kung Fu World.
This is a special time.
A, chaotic and dark times.
Warlords are fighting, Western powers are running rampant, bandits are raging, and gangs of all kinds are springing up......
The people are struggling to make a living, and the people are mourning......
However, there is such a special city, in the troubled times, with a deformed prosperity.
confiding, the beauty of the night.
On the street, you can see blonde foreigners, cars, trams, foreign trading houses, and bewitching cheongsam girls......
Here, there are electric lights, telephones, and phonographs that are difficult for people in remote areas to understand......
At night, it is even more neon lights, and all kinds of bars, nightclubs, and casinos are full of people.
But, who knows, in this prosperous scene, in the dark corners, there is a smell of blood everywhere?
In some corner, there were several corpses......
Here, foreign devils are desperately fighting for territory, dividing concessions, and forming their own armed forces.
Gangs large and small are also grabbing territory......
Of course, there are also many patriots who are also acting in secret, dedicating their youth, blood, and even their lives to the future of the country.
This is a special time.
A period before dawn, the darkest period of turmoil.
For some, this prosperous capital of the East is a paradise.
There was money all over the ground.
The ground was full of women.
But for others, it may be hell.
It smells of violence, gore, and death.
In the city, there is such a special place: the pigpen walled city.
The name is so ugly that it's easy to imagine it...... Pigsty.
Only those who live here know that compared to the turmoil of the outside world, this place is simply a paradise.
There are high walls on all sides, and there is only one gate to enter and exit.
Although the place is not big, the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs.
In the walled city, there are those who raise chickens and ducks, pigs, cattle, flowers, and vegetables......
There are also various types of shops.
Barber shop, tailor shop, grain and oil shop, small restaurant, grocery store, cotton shop, herb shop...... In short, almost everything you need for daily life can be bought here.
Even if you don't leave the walled city, it won't affect your basic life.
The owners of the pig pen city are a couple, and everyone calls them "charter father" and "charter wife".
In the early morning, as soon as the sun rose, the pigpen city began to be noisy......
A long line of people with buckets or basins is waiting to receive water.
At that time, the most common way to get water was either river water or well water.
However, here there is already tap water, which was quite rare in those days.
"Hey, little Liuzi, don't cut in line......"
"Hehe, then I'll intervene?"
"Die, little Liuzi? How dare you talk to my mother like that......"
"The coolie is strong, can you do it?"
"No problem, add another bag of ......"
"Chartered public ...... morning"
"Hey, Xiao Zhu? You've grown taller again, come, let my uncle check your body......"
……
It was a scene of harmony and joy.
After a long time of commotion, a young man with a shirtless body and only a pair of shorts saw that no one was fetching water, so he simply squatted down and began to take a shower.
I just put bubbles on my hair, and the result is ......
Out of water?
So, this guy nicknamed "Sauce Explosion" raised his head, looked at a window on the second floor and shouted: "Chartered wife, chartered mother, why is there no water all of a sudden?" ”
After a few drinks, a woman with curly hair, a cigarette in her mouth, a white nightdress, and flip-flops rushed downstairs domineeringly......
"You don't have to spend money on water, do you? You bastards, you don't pay this month's rent, and you still talk so much nonsense......"
Sauce Bang said dissatisfiedly: "But my head is halfway washed, and you close the sluice......"
Without waiting for the sauce to finish speaking, the charter woman said fiercely: "I'm not just closing it now, starting tomorrow, the water will be cut off on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and the water supply will be intermittent on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, how about it?" ”
"It's so old, it's a charter wife."
"Gunima, if you don't pay the rent today, I'll burn down your shop!"
"Laugh, what are you laughing at? You don't have to pay rent if you laugh? Old P-eyed ......"
The charter wife was furious, and all the tenants could only force a smile, and no one dared to raise objections.
Actually, everyone knows it.
The charter woman belongs to the typical knife mouth, tofu heart.
On the surface, she urges rent and scolds people all day long, but if she really can't pay the rent, she won't drive people away.
When you are in a good mood, you will also help some tenants who are in difficulty to solve their difficulties.
Therefore, even if they are scolded, everyone will not really get angry.
The charter lady scolded for a while, and finally relieved her anger, and was about to go upstairs, when a voice suddenly came from her ear: "Chartered wife, do you still have rent?" ”
The person who came, it was Gao Xing.
When he watched the movie back then, the pig cage city gave him a deep impression.
Now, when I come to this world, I naturally want to experience it here.
The charter lady turned around and glanced Gao Xing up and down, but instead of answering directly, she asked, "What do you do?" ”
"I came from out of town, and I was going to join a friend, but when I got here, I couldn't find anyone, so I had to find a place to live temporarily, and then find a way to make money to make a living."
"That's right...... So do you have the money? If you rent a house with me, you have to pay a month's rent first, and you have to follow the rules. ”
"What rules?"
The charter lady pointed to the tenants around: "Look for yourself, these people, although they are all slanted eyebrows and crooked eyes, they are still their duty." In short, we can't lead some friends to our pig cage walled city. ”
Gao Xing smiled and said, "No, no, I said it all, I just got here......"
"Okay, I can rent you a room and pay for it......"
Money, Gao Xing has long been ready.
Before entering the pig cage city, he had already found a pharmacy in advance and sold a wild ginseng.
To put it bluntly, this is a loophole in the system.
There is no way to travel through other worlds with cash, antiques, etc., but there is no restriction on medicinal herbs and the like.
It's simple......
Gao Xing has medicinal herbs on his body, especially wild ginseng and the like.
After all, with his current realm, ordinary wild ginseng, even if it is a hundred years old, is almost useless......
