Chapter 14: No Return to Hong Kong
The Maritime Canal, which spans the mirage of Yaning's capital, cuts the city diagonally into two parts: the old city in the east and the new city in the west. In the aftermath of the Asian-American War, the canal was not only geographically significant, but also intellectually and culturally fragmented the mirage into two regions.
A large number of Yaning paupas were housed in the old city on the east side, while the colonial rulers of Meda Busoya, their descendants and the new Yanin elite class they supported, lived in the new city, separated by a canal, with an invisible wall that cut the world on both sides.
The movement of people in the eastern and western cities is strictly controlled, and only aircraft or ships officially approved by Medabsoya are allowed to travel by air and river, and all other unauthorized transportation is prohibited. The land route is connected only by an undersea tunnel, which has been completely closed since the riots planned by the Renaissance Society. Some people may wonder if it is possible to pass through the bottom of the canal between the undersea tunnel and the river. That's too simple, because the waters are full of mines.
If anyone wants to understand the post-war Yaning Kingdom, the Mirage Old and New City area is the best epitome.
There was a time when a group of young Yanin people who had experienced the war were eager to change their destiny and strive to obtain a qualification recognized by Meda Busoya, to go to the new city to integrate into the new culture, and to do the grassroots work that they were able to accomplish and obtain residency status. A handful of them did succeed, and their loved ones tearfully escorted them on the undersea train, watching them go away, hoping that one day they would come true and come back. But most of them have not turned back, turning their backs on their families and friends, so the area where the Old City Undersea Train station is located is also nicknamed "No Return to the Port".
Maybe Feng Die is also an abandoned member, Hong Yuesheng will think so every time he hears Feng Die sing the song "Speaking of the Great River" (Hong Yuesheng's language), he sees her sad appearance. Feng Die never told him about his past, why he fell into poor streets, why he joined the Revival Association, why he became a dusty woman to cover his identity, all of which Hong Yuesheng didn't know, but he never asked much, which is why two people with age differences and diametrically opposite personalities can become good friends. Hong Yuesheng only knew that every once in a while, the phoenix butterfly would come to the port of no return, sometimes alone, sometimes with him, sitting on the cold steps of the semi-circular Colosseum in front of the undersea tunnel train station, looking at the bright lights of the new city on the other side of the river, and sat for a long time.
When the grey pickup truck arrives at the port of no return, it is like a train graveyard due to the closure of the undersea tunnel. Hong Yuesheng can see the circular staircase "Colosseum" outside through the old monitor in the prototype, the display is too old, and the image does not have interference lines. On the unmanned staircase, Hong Yuesheng seemed to see the phoenix butterfly sitting there as always.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
The prince had just left the room for a moment, and Feng Die, who was sitting on the sofa, said.
The guerrillas next to Feng Die glanced at it and couldn't make up their minds for a while.
"I'm going to pee!"
Feng Die's words were so straightforward that the guerrillas didn't know how to refuse. So he stepped forward and took a pair of handcuffs with a long chain in the middle from his waist, put one on his hand, and handed the other to the butterfly.
Not only did she give the guerrillas a roll of the eyes, but she reluctantly took the handcuffs and put them on her left hand. Then they got up, and the partisans followed.
The guerrilla was a young boy who took up weapons that did not correspond to his age at an age when he was far from knowing what a revolution was, and tried to do his duty faithfully.
Feng Die looked back at him, then turned around and took off her pants directly. Butterfly has always been a rough person in her personal life, and the exposed private parts are the same as her habits, like untrimmed black primeval jungle.
The moment the guerrillas saw the jungle, their blood flowed backwards and they quickly turned around, their faces flushed.
The corners of Feng Die's mocking mouth were raised, squatting down and sitting on the toilet, her left hand lowered, even though the chain of this pair of handcuffs was longer than the average one, but it was still tight, and the guerrillas with their backs had no choice but to squat back with their backs, so the handcuff chains fell to the ground, and Feng Die stretched out her left hand to close the door with a bang, only the chain under the door connected the two people.
As soon as the door closed, the phoenix whistled, and at the same time gently pushed her right hand open the toilet flush tank, and poked her hand into the box and touched it under the water. Due to the fact that her left hand was low and could not move, the butterfly could not see the inside of the water tank, so it took a lot of effort.
To give her hand more room to pop into the tank, she pressed her face against the wall. The ruined walls of the restroom are painted of brick with gaps in between. The "whine" sound from behind the gap attracted the butterfly's attention. She continued to reach in the tank as she pressed her eyes to the slit.
From the gap, Feng Die also accidentally saw Qiqi in the opposite room boiling water and making tea. Guan Lingzi's cage was placed on the cabinet next to it, and Lingzi had woken up from the anesthetic, and was clutching the cage railing and whining low.
"Stop screaming!!"
Kiki turned around impatiently and raised her leg to kick the cage hard.
"Whew! ......" The kick hit Lingzi's hand grasping the cage, and she hurriedly pulled her hand back. Then he screamed angrily at Kiki.
"You wild thing!" Kiki picked up the freshly boiled kettle next to her and walked to the cage, lifted the kettle and tilted it slightly, and the hot boiling water turned into a thin column of water like a cage, and Lingzi hurriedly dodged to the cage.
"You're going to go wild, aren't you?" Kiki smiled and continued to hold the kettle and slowly poured water on Lingzi's body, pouring boiling water on Lingzi's feet, and instantly blistered.
"Woo~~" Reiko screamed in fright.
Kiki seemed to think it was funny, and when she was about to continue pouring water on Lingzi, the voice of the prince came from outside.
"Kiki, is the tea ready?"
Hearing that the prince was back, Kiki stopped, "Oh, here it is!" ”
She walked back to the table where the two teacups were placed, and poured the boiled water into the teacups, one for the prince and one for the butterfly. After pouring the water, she took a sip of saliva, and then spit saliva into the tea she was going to give to the butterfly.
"Call me, huh. Let you drink tea, drink well! She muttered as she mixed her saliva with a teaspoon and let it melt into the tea.
At this time, the phoenix finally grabbed a steel wire hidden in the water tank. She took out the wire and inserted it into the keyhole, and opened the handcuffs with her hands and feet.
Outside the toilet, the prince saw the young partisan sitting next to the toilet with his hands behind his back.
"What are you doing?!" The prince asked.
"Sister Fengdie said she was going to the bathroom."
The prince instinctively felt that something was wrong, and he rushed forward, stepped past the guerrillas, stretched out his hand, knocked on the door twice, and shouted:
"Butterfly?!"
No response.
The prince immediately rushed forward and kicked open the bathroom door, which was already empty, the other side of the guerrilla's handcuffs were locked to the toilet sewer pipe, and the bathroom window was open. "You idiot!" The prince cursed and rushed into the bathroom to look out the window.
The guerrillas also quickly stood up, but their hands were still leaning on the pipe, and they didn't have time to find the key because of their nervousness, so he pulled hard, and the sewer pipe was in disrepair, and he pulled it like this, but it broke immediately, but with the water it squirted out and shot into the guerrilla's face, the guerrilla covered his face with his hand and flashed back, and he was running into Kiki, who was going out of the door, with tea in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Before Kiki could finish asking, the guerrillas bumped into her hand and splashed the cup of tea given to the butterfly in her hand on Kiki's face.
"Wow!!" Kiki was first scalded by the tea, and at the same time thought of mixing her saliva here, and covered her face hysterically and retched for a while.
The prince looked out the window but didn't see the figure of the phoenix, only the old lady who was still digging up the garbage.
He hurriedly asked into the intercom: "Have you seen the phoenix butterfly people in the units?" ”
"No?" Other surveillance units replied.
At the prince's feet, there is a loose floor, and below it is the phoenix butterfly holding the ceiling of the lower floor - it turns out that the apartment with this duplex loft structure was rented by the phoenix herself, and this gives her the opportunity to leave this secret passage to herself. Later, for financial reasons, she sublet the first floor to a poor couple.
As soon as Feng Die opened the handcuffs just now, she lifted the floor of the dark passage, and drilled directly from her bathroom on the second floor to the first floor, she gently let go and fell, and did not forget to move the floor back to its original position before jumping down.
Early in the morning, the man was still asleep in bed, and the phoenix flutter tiptoed to take a coat that the man hung at the head of the bed, at this moment, the door opened, and his wife just came back from the night shift, and saw the phoenix butterfly wearing her husband's coat, from stunned to angry, and directly smashed the bag in her hand into the face of the husband who was still asleep.
The man was in pain, and he woke up, and he didn't know what was going on.
"You fishy man! I knew I shouldn't rent a house in the red light district! You bastard! The wife yelled angrily at her husband.
Feng Die put her hands together apologetically and apologized to the male owner who was in the dark, and then rushed into the kitchen on the first floor, and locked the door behind her, which was facing Guan Lingzi's room upstairs.
Hearing the commotion downstairs, the prince quickly turned around and rushed to the first floor, and he shouted to Qiqi, who was still covering his face, as he ran: "Look at the little girl!" "The little girl in his mouth refers to Lingzi." Someone else come with me! The guerrillas followed the prince and rushed downstairs.
At this time, Feng Die had climbed out of the kitchen window on the first floor and climbed up to the second floor along the fire pipe outside the house, and the guerrillas guarding outside the house immediately noticed Feng Die's figure and immediately reported it, but the prince was running and did not hear the message, so the guerrillas decided to raise their guns and shoot on their own.
"Bang!"
Kiki, who was at the kitchen door on the second floor, was not easy to recover from the pain of hot water, and took her hand off her face, and her face, which was already quite chic, had been burned red. Hearing the gunshots, she quickly turned to the window.
The loud sound of shattering glass - Butterfly rushed into the room from outside the window with her foot and smashed a window, and fell right on Kiki.
"Feng, Sister Fengdie!" The reiko next to him shouted.
Butterfly and Kiki had already fallen to the floor and scuffled at this time, and the snipers outside the house could not see the situation in the shadows under the walls of the house for a while, and could not find a target, so they had to aim at the sunlit area of the house, ready to shoot at any time.
One grabbed each other's throats, while the other grabbed each other's hair, struggling and rolling on the ground.
Kiki finally rode on the phoenix butterfly, and pushed the butterfly's chin with her hand to the position where the sunlight was shining in, "Hmm! The phoenix butterfly was held against her jaw and couldn't speak, her head had just entered the sun, boom! With a bang, a bullet flew in and almost concentrated on the butterfly's head, leaving a smoking bullet hole in the floor.
"It's finally going to come one day!" Kiki's new hatred and old hatred are counted together, so that she will continue to hold on to the throat of the phoenix butterfly with all her might, and push the phoenix butterfly's head into the sunlight with all her might.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the phoenix closed her eyes, and for a few seconds thought that she had been hit...... But the hand that strangled his neck suddenly lost its strength, and the phoenix butterfly opened her eyes, and it turned out that Lingzi reached out from the cage and grabbed the hot water kettle that Kiki had just put on the cupboard, and threw it desperately and smashed it on the back of Kiki's head!
Kiki was dizzy for a while, and Phoenix Butterfly took the opportunity to raise her right leg, slammed her knee into Kiki's lower body riding on top of her, and kicked Kiki out in the direction of the back of her head with all her might. Kiki flew through the sun, and two gunshots followed, but neither could hit Kiki, who was falling quickly, and then Kiki hit her head against the wall behind her, and her head and feet fell to the ground heavily, and she fainted.
On the first floor, when the prince rushed in, the young wife was scolding her husband while holding the kitchen doorknob and trying to open the locked kitchen door.
The prince pushed the woman open the kitchen door with her shoulder, and found that the room was empty. At this time, several gunshots rang out from upstairs, and the prince rushed to the open window and leaned out to look out......
Boom Rumble!!
A pre-owned black glossy black off-road motorcycle broke through the entire second-floor glass directly above the prince, crossed the prince's head, and fell heavily on the street, driving the motorcycle turned out to be the phoenix butterfly, and Lingzi had been rescued from the cage, sitting in front of the phoenix butterfly, driving behind the dashboard.
It turns out that this motorcycle is more than just a decoration.
As soon as the phoenix butterfly landed, she turned the front of the car and increased the accelerator and drove away, and there was a lot of gunfire around her, and several bullets were fired around the motorcycle, and one of them also swept the left cheek of the phoenix, leaving a blood mark.
The prince hurriedly shouted into the intercom: "Don't shoot!!" Don't shoot!! ”
In this way, the gunfire subsided.
The old lady who was picking up the garbage looked at the figure of Feng Die driving away, and gave a thumbs up: "Girl, beautiful!" ”
