Chapter 4 Qi Ye
When night falls, the streets of Hong Kong Island are filled with neon lights.
The evening rush hour has not yet arrived, and the streets are already bustling.
Street vendors have set up their formations, and the mixed scents waft through the steaming stalls.
Fish balls, car noodles, egg waffles, bowl wings.
Qin Yi sat on the double-decker bus and browsed the night scene, and was in a trance for a while.
This is some of the sequelae after he crossed over, coming to a new world, and there are always some mixed emotions in terms of emotions.
Strange cities, strange worlds, strange relationships, almost nothing.
At the beginning, there was a bad hand, and there was almost no way out.
However, as a small-town problem-solver, the king of social animal rolls in a large Internet factory, and an outstanding talent who has been exported to society, Qin Yi's psychological quality and adaptability are still quite strong.
It's a big deal to struggle again, he started to drift north with nothing, and finally was able to roll out a suite.
Now that he has a plug-in, he is drifting in Hong Kong, so it is impossible to drift to the point of losing contact.
Thinking of this, Qin Yi regained his spirits, smelled the fragrance coming from the street, and suddenly felt a little hungry.
He was about to get up and get off at the bus stop in front of him, go to the side of the street, taste Hong Kong Island snacks, and enjoy the characteristic culture of Portland Street.
There was a sudden scream from the bustling street, and in an instant the crowd began to flee in all directions.
In the crowd, countless old boys carrying knives and steel pipes were mixed together.
In an instant, the sword flashed, and blood flew sideways.
Screams, exclamations, metal crashes rang out.
The surrounding stalls were knocked over countless times, and delicious fruits and food rolled to the ground, and then trampled into mud.
The passengers of the bus also witnessed the scene in front of them, and they were all panicked.
"Diolei Laomu, this group of old boys who are fighting on the street, why do you want to engage those hawkers."
"This bunch of shovels! will bully the weak and fear the hard. ”
"Alas, the security on Hong Kong Island has been getting worse and worse recently, and a gold shop was robbed this morning."
"It's been so chaotic on the street lately, what are those bad guys doing, taxpayers raise a bunch of waste wood for nothing, it's better to buy a piece of barbecued pork!"
"Shut up! Beware of being heard and getting you in trouble! ”
"Cut! The group of ghosts above are waiting for 97 to run away and patronize to make money, and the group of bad guys below only work and can't help! ”
Qin Yi listened expressionlessly to the complaints of the surrounding citizens,
In the past two years, the law and order on Hong Kong Island has deteriorated, and those ghosts do have a great responsibility.
In a few years, we will run away, who cares about the life and death of Hong Kong Island, and it is the right thing to make money as soon as possible.
And they are afraid that they want Hong Kong Island to be chaotic, and the more chaotic it is, the better.
After the troubles of the old boy, Qin Yiye was not interested in the tour at all, and sat on the bus peacefully.
Towering buildings are densely packed together, cramped and oppressive.
Qin Yi crossed the street and entered a residential building, which was a twin-tower building, with two mouth-shaped corners diagonally linked together.
The patio in the middle is a small square, with nothing but litter on the bare concrete floor.
The bottom of the building is dimly lit, and the sun can't reach it except at noon.
Looking up, the dense bamboo poles stretching out towards the patio are covered with colorful clothes like the corridor railings, almost blocking the sky of the patio.
The narrow corridors are full of people, hobbling old men slowly climbing the stairs with bags, and playful naughty children chasing each other.
The spatulas of cooking collided, the husbands and wives quarreled, the students reciting their homework, and the shuffling of mahjong were mixed together.
Qin Yi walked through the corridor and came to the door of room 801, groped for the key and unscrewed the lock.
Pushing open the door, a faint musty smell wafted out.
This is a house of about 30 square meters, with a one-bedroom layout.
The old wooden furniture in the room had a layer of dust on it, and it looked like it had been unoccupied for a long time.
The whole house has no electrical appliances other than electric lights.
This is where Qin Yi grew up, but the house is not his, this is a public housing estate.
It is a low-rent housing built by the Hong Kong Island government to provide housing for low-income groups.
Rent is cheap, less than $1,000 a month, and more than a third of the population lives in public housing estates.
Qin Yi looked around the simple room, took out the numbness and prepared to clean up the dust.
"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door.
Qin Yi opened the door, and a middle-aged man stood outside the door with a gloomy face.
"Cheeye." , Qin Yi hurriedly stepped aside and let the middle-aged man come in.
"Ugh." The middle-aged man stretched out his palm, "Don't call me Qiye in the future, I should call you Qiye." ”
This middle-aged man is Qin Yi's Qi Ye, named Lu Guohua, and he is an ordinary policeman of the Hong Kong Island Police Force.
Qin Yi's father was unfamiliar with the place after he had just smuggled to Hong Kong Island, and he was struggling to survive, so he met Lu Guohua who was patrolling the streets when he was setting up a stall.
Because they are fellow villagers, they are familiar with each other.
Lu Guohua is bold and righteous, and he has a similar temper with Qin Yi's father, so he cut off the head of the chicken and burned yellow paper to worship him, and let Qin Yi recognize Lu Guohua as the deed master.
After knowing each other for more than ten years, Lu Guohua took a lot of care of Qin Yi's family.
Qin Yi showed an embarrassed smile, "Master Qi, why are you here." ”
Lu Guohua glared at him angrily, walked into the room, sat down on a chair, and said with a stiff face: "Why did you drop out of the police academy?" ”
"Qi Ye, you know everything?" , Qin Yi was a little surprised, this Lu Guohua is well-informed enough.
"If I hadn't been informed by my brother from the police academy, would you have been hiding it from me?" Lu Guohua said angrily, "Didn't you do well in the police academy before, did you get into any trouble?" ”
"No, Cheye." Qin Yi made a bitter face, took out his withdrawal certificate and handed it to Lu Guohua, "I am suffering from asthma and can't do strenuous exercise, which leads to failing the physical test, so Principal Ye asked me to drop out of school to recuperate." ”
Lu Guohua stood up from his chair in surprise and looked at Qin Yi nervously, "Ah Yi, are you sick?" Does it matter? Did you go to the hospital? ”
"I'm fine, Qi Ye." Qin Yi hurriedly reassured, "It's just asthma, it's just a chronic disease, and it will get better if you take care of it for a while." ”
Lu Guohua relieved himself at this time, and after confirming that Qin Yi was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's next for you?"
Qin Yi helped Lu Guohua sit back on the chair, "I plan to find a part-time job first, slowly save money, and recuperate by the way." ”
"Odd jobs, are you crazy?!" Lu Guohua glared at Qin Yi.
Of course, a part-time job or something is just a rhetoric, and it is impossible to work part-time, and only a policeman can maintain a life.
After all, the main quest requires, and he also expects to rely on the quest reward to completely solve the problem of asthma.
can only fool Lu Guohua first and send the Qi Ye away.
"Well, it's only temporary, I'm going to take care of my illness first."
"What are you going to do, you have to study more these years to be productive, you have a smart brain, you are willing to study hard, and you will definitely be better than my stinky boy in the future." Lu Guohua hated iron and steel, "The book is not good to read, and I also plan to take the police academy." ”
Qin Yi smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's good to be a policeman." ”
"What a fart, I said before that you should go to college and become a doctor and a lawyer in the future, how decent. If you refuse, you have to take the police academy, saying that you are powerful and have a lot of salary. Lu Guohua sighed, "What's so good about being on an errand, no one takes care of you above, you wear a uniform for decades, and you are still patrolling the streets until you retire." Look at me, it's been almost 20 years since I became a senior police officer. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Guohua is full of bitterness and resentment, he has always been conscientious, just because he is too straight and hot-tempered, he is not valued by his boss, and he has always been a low-level police officer.
"Well, don't mention those." Lu Guohua sighed, "Anyway, you study your homework at home, I'll help you contact a school, and you go back to study hard." ”
"Huh?" Qin Yi was a little dumbfounded, seeing that Infernal Affairs was about to turn to skip school Weilong, "Master Qi, I have already graduated, so I don't need to study." ”
"If you don't study, are you like your old bean, go to the street to sell fish balls?" Lu Guohua glared at Qin Yi, "Let me take care of you when your old bean died, will I continue to let you go to the stall?" ”
"Haven't you already passed the entrance examination, then continue to study for the preparatory department and strive to get into a good university."
There are four years of Hong Kong Island High School, namely Secondary 4 (Senior 1) and Secondary 5 (Senior 2).
After Secondary 5, students will be admitted to the Preparatory Department, which consists of two years, namely: Secondary 6 (Senior 3) and Secondary 7 (Senior 4).
After Form 7, students take the college entrance examination and pass the college entrance examination to enter the university.
Qin Yi originally graduated from Secondary 5 and did not continue his studies, but entered the police academy instead.
"It's two thousand dollars, you take it first." Lu Guohua said and took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into Qin Yi's hand, "The street has been very chaotic recently, try not to go out at night." ”
"Thank you." Qin Yi looked at the banknote in his hand and did not refuse, and solemnly received it in his pocket.
Lu Guohua was about to leave, Qin Yi suddenly asked, "Qi Ye, what happened recently, I also saw Gu Chao Boy slashing people on the street today." ”
"Ni Kun in Tsim Sha Tsui is dead, and the people below are starting to be restless." Lu Guohua looked irritable, "It's good to die on the street, it's good to die all the light, in short, you should be careful recently." ”
After speaking, Lu Guohua opened the door and strode away.
Qin Yi sent his Qi Ye away, closed the door and sat back in his chair, staring at the dim chandelier.
A few seconds later, Qin Yi dragged over a notebook, picked up the pen and began to write.
