643 The strong man is gone
Sheng Zhangsong didn't go to Xiaolou to see the little boy, probably not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. His small body has no time to run around if he wants to earn full work on the construction site of digging the river, and he has to work from morning to night.
However, Hong Tao was not idle, and another visitor came in the afternoon, Mrs. Xiushan.
She only took a middle-aged woman with a neat but always straight face, who could be an assistant or a servant. It's not here to chat, officially invite the tiger to participate in the banquet held tonight in the Third Ring Entertainment City, and also said that the bigwigs in the six security zones in the south of the city will be there.
"Brother Mouse, will it be a Hongmen banquet?" In front of the old lady, the tiger didn't hesitate, and readily agreed. But as soon as I turned my head, I immediately began to beat the drum in my heart, for fear that it would be another conspiracy.
"This old lady is a big name in the safe zone, and since she dares to come alone, why don't we dare to go? When you come out to mix, sometimes you also want to make a face. Let's go, let's go wash, shave our faces, and get our hair up, and see how they want to play! ”
It is not clear whether it is Hongmen Banquet Hongtao, but he thinks that if the other party wants to play black, there is no need to spend so much time. I've been here for so many days, and I've never heard of the Third Ring Entertainment City, where people from all walks of life gather, and there are often official residents in the base who come out to relax, which is really not a good choice for the underdog.
"Do you want the stupid pigs and lazy dogs to get ready?"
Don't look at the tiger when he was a gold digger in Xinjiang Province, he was able to deal with all forces, but after arriving in the capital, he always had a feeling of powerlessness. Not only is the environment and rules very different from before, but even the people have changed.
"If they want to do it, the more people we go, the more we lose. Oh, let's go, the right is to catch the blue devil, close your eyes and hand over your life to God, the big deal is to die, and you can die twice! ”
Looking at the tiger's gains and losses, Hong Tao didn't know whether to be happy or worried. This kind of performance shows that the partners are indeed changing according to the environment, but how much to change and how much to keep, they have no way to guide or even interfere.
Speaking of bathing, there are more than one special bathhouse in the safe area. Most of the displaced people living here do not have the conditions to bathe at home, and usually choose different grades of public bathhouses according to their economic situation.
According to Lu Wei'an, the larger bathhouse was renovated from the old world bathing center, which was originally heated by electricity or gas to coal, and it was not a problem to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, and the price was relatively cheap, a few cents per person.
The smaller bathhouses are all sorts of things, and some of them are very simple, just a few showers, and they are all about to be flushed. Some are more luxurious, offering sauna massages and additional services in addition to single baths.
For example, Xiushan apartment has a sauna and shower room, and the largest and most luxurious bathing center in the security area is in the Third Ring Entertainment City. But it is not clear how much luxury Lu Wei'an has, with his income and status, he has not yet reached the level where he can go to that kind of place to spend.
"No guns?" I heard that I was going to take a bath in the Third Ring Entertainment City now, but the tiger didn't object, but he was a little puzzled by the behavior of only carrying a dagger close to his body.
Although these pistols that I usually carry on my body are all shoddy products seized from Youlong Company, and can only be loaded with one shot, the guns are guns after all, and they are very powerful at close range.
"I'm afraid that the place is not allowed to bring guns in, and if they don't want to do it, it's safe for them to bring nothing, so they just have to be more open."
As the saying goes, what's the use of having two ears hanging when your body has fallen into the well. Hong Tao spread out his hands, pulled both ears down, and prepared to jump into the well with his body to see how deep it was.
“…… Change your mind, change your mind...... To be honest, I really don't get used to it for a while, and I always feel empty without a life-saving guy. ”
The tiger gritted his teeth and stamped his foot and handed over the gun, but his mouth was still muttering. When they were in northern Xinjiang, even when they arrived in the settlements, they were inseparable from their swords and guns, and they were almost fatal.
"Brother Mouse, do we have to prepare?" It is not too reassuring for the scalper to take the tiger's pistol.
"Don't go back to the shack at night, the safest place is here!" Hong Tao waved his hand to signal not to be too nervous, and then raised his hand and pointed to the south, through the window, he could see the Alliance watchtower not far away.
"I don't think I'll be back too soon, but I won't be overnight either. 2 o'clock, if you don't see me and the tiger come back at 2 o'clock, something will happen. When the time comes, don't panic, don't act rashly, and find a way to notify the thin monkey and the water snake to secretly investigate Sun Feihu's whereabouts. ”
"You hold your ground and draw attention here, so that they and the fat sheep can go and ask us about our whereabouts. If we are both dead, we will not take revenge, and we will not be able to stay as long as you kill them all, and even if we run to the south, we may not be as good as here. ”
"Bring the money and hire a car with your brothers to go to the safe area in the north of the city, there are still a few acres of land over there, be a farmer in a down-to-earth manner, or raise some cattle and sheep or something, and live like your craft."
"Don't talk back, listen to me! I didn't bring you here to lay down a piece of territory and dominate, but to find a more reliable way for everyone to live. These days, as long as you don't see blind, it's easier to live here than before, and that's not the goal! ”
"As for the death of both of us, it can only be regarded as normal attrition. Gold diggers may not be able to come back every time they go out, and it doesn't matter who kills them, it's true that they can continue to live. Make it clear to my brothers what I mean, this is also what Brother Tiger meant. Most of the money is in the lazy dogs, as long as you don't gamble enough to survive for a while. ”
Before leaving, Hong Tao still explained the aftermath according to the usual practice, whether it was a Hongmen banquet or not, he had to explain it clearly to these partners. They don't know much about the military strength of the East Asian Alliance, and once they have a fever in their brains, it will be really difficult to escape, which is equivalent to taking several lives in vain, which is too worthless.
The location of the Third Ring Entertainment City is on the east side of the Minsi Bridge, and the small building bought by Hong Tao is south of the Great Ocean Road Market, and the two are less than 2 kilometers apart. The two of them first went back to the shack to get their new military uniforms, and then rode their bicycles all the way north, asking only one person along the way, and successfully found the wall painted pale yellow.
"See, this is our parents, do you have any ideas?"
Hong Tao still has a little impression of this building complex, it was originally supposed to be a Peking Opera Theater, and to the north is the Shilihe Cultural City, where I used to buy ornamental fish. The three-storey building with a metal sign across the street is even more eye-catching, and it is actually the highest management body of the entire southern security zone.
"They shouldn't be doing anything here!" The tiger touched his bearded chin thoughtfully.
"This is just one of them, the person who can open an entertainment city opposite the management office will definitely not be an ordinary person, he is willing to use this place as a negotiation venue, and eighty percent is also a part of the local forces."
"However, they are so familiar with our parents, but they can only find a reason to arrest us, and then watch us be released because of insufficient evidence, what does this mean?" Hong Tao didn't rush in, but chatted with the tiger with the bicycle against the wall and lit a cigarette.
Changing one's mind is sometimes slow to figure out, and if someone can figure out the key points, it's like piercing the window paper, and suddenly it's clear at a glance.
“…… Their relationship isn't hard enough? The tiger thought hard and came to a conclusion.
"If they are not acquainted, how can they open such a trade opposite the yamen? Do you see clearly, there are not only bathing cities but also nightclubs, cinemas, restaurants and casinos, most of which are gray industries, all of which are sideline businesses, so they are not afraid of being inspected every day? ”
In fact, Hong Tao can explain this point clearly in two sentences, but he is willing to force others to use their brains to ponder, and it is best to find the answer by himself, he feels that the answer obtained in this way is deeply impressive and understands more thoroughly.
“…… Is it deliberately done for us to see, so that we can put a long line to catch big fish? The tiger really came up with an answer, and his expression was a little nervous again, and he looked at the old man who was sorting out the bicycle on the other side like a star.
