Chapter 33: Eating the Brain

In the hall of Gao Jin's villa.

"I originally thought you would ask for money, but who knew that you just asked Fifth Brother to teach you how to play with guns. You know, even if you ask for 180,000 dollars (after World War II, according to the Bretton Woods system, the dollar was on the gold standard until it was declared by the Nixon administration on August 15, 1971, and the value was strong, equivalent to gold, so it was called 'dollars'), I would pay you. Gao Jin held the wine glass, shook the red wine in his hand, and said to Liangkun.

"I originally thought that I would make a lot of money by betting on the 'periphery' of the 'Battle of the Century of Gambling Kings' between you and Chen Jincheng, but because the gambling book was too small, I only earned two or three hundred thousand Hong Kong paper ('currency' is the same as 'kill', so Hong Kong people mostly call it 'Hong Kong Bank' and 'Hong Kong paper' and rarely call 'Hong Kong dollar'). No wonder Chen Xiaodao wants to borrow usury to gamble, and the small book is really just talking. Now, if I were to go back on it, I don't think you would agree to it. ”

Gao Jin took a sip of red wine, "What do you think?" ”

The other side.

Chen Xiaodao was babbling to Ah Zhen again, "Ah Zhen, what's good about Hong Kong?" There are many people, and the air is polluted. It's a different story in the United States, where the air is exceptionally clean. When you take your first breath of air, you'll be refreshed. Come with me to America! ”

Rejected by Ah Zhen again, Chen Xiaodao, who was sad, pulled the crow who was enjoying a big gulp of high-priced wine and came to Liangkun.

"Brother Kun! Before, I didn't even know that you had done so much behind the scenes, and I thought I was great. I found out after listening to Master. I'm dry of this wine. Chen Xiaodao raised the red wine in his hand and drank it all.

"Listening to your convincing 'Brother Kun', it makes me more comfortable than the God of Gamblers giving me millions. I came out to mix, 'I'd rather have a thumbs up than a scale of gold'. ”

Wiping the red wine from the corner of his mouth, Chen Xiaodao pulled the crow behind him to his side, "Brother Kun, I'm going to follow Master to Las Vegas." I told the crow, and when I'm gone, let him follow you. You have the ability and righteousness, and I am also very relieved that the crow will follow you. ”

Liangkun raised his glass to the crow, "Then the crow must be willing." Forcibly press the bull's head and don't drink water! ”

The crow also raised his glass, "Brother Kun, you are just like Brother Daozi said, you have the ability and righteousness, I am willing to follow you." ”

"Then you call Big Brother to listen!"

"Big brother!" After speaking, the crow put down the wine glass, handed Liangkun a red envelope, opened it and looked at it, thirty-six yuan six.

"These thirty-six yuan are all the net worth I usually save, and I didn't use the money that Brother Daozi gave me."

"Sincerely! In the future, everyone will be their own people, follow me, I believe that your life will be different. Liangkun looked at the sincere crow, who would have thought that this honest little brother in front of him would become an invincible and crazy guy after twenty years.

……

Villa on the balcony.

"Everyone else is so sincere, and you still refuse to reveal the wind at all." Gao Jin asked in a voice that only two people could hear.

"I'm going undercover, and I'm more cautious to survive." Liangkun took a sip of red wine.

"Originally, I wanted to give this villa to you, but when you say that, forget it."

"Just give it to me, but Ah Zhen, who just passed the interview as a physical education teacher at Adam Smith International School, is very close to here, give it to her to live and go to work. As you know, housing prices in Hong Kong are very expensive, and with the money I earn, I can't afford to buy a house. Besides, Ah Zhen can be regarded as saving your life, so she should repay her life-saving benefactor. ”

"I always feel that if you are willing to worship me as a teacher, the name of 'God of Gamblers' will soon be replaced by you. Because you're thick-skinned enough, hahahaha......"

……

The gambling god Gao Jin took Long Wu and Chen Xiaodao to the United States, and Liangkun took Ah Zhen and Crow to the hospital - the plaster splint in his right hand should be removed.

Out of the hospital.

"Crow, my injuries are almost healed, and I'm ready to go back to Mong Kok. You will stay in Tsz Yun Mountain first - now I don't have a big bottom identity in Hongxing, if I take you there, it will be too ostentatious! ”

"Boss, what is the identity of the big bottom?"

"Hong Kong's community rules first originated from the simplification of the organization of Hongmen's 'inner and outer eight halls', adopting the 'six-level eight-post system', which is divided into six levels: dragon head, second road marshal, hall master, red stick, four-nine, and blue lantern, and the first level of red stick has three positions: red stick, white paper fan, and straw sandals.

The code of the red stick is four two six, four times twenty-six plus four is equal to one hundred and eight, which means one hundred and eight heroes of the Water Margin, among which Wu Song holds the red stick, hence the name. It is usually said that 4 + 2 + 6 = 12, and the base is referred to as 12 bases, which is a beating. The most capable of beating in the crowd is the double-flower red stick, which is the gold medal fighter. The Red Stick is the core of the Society, and the position must be recognized by all the Red Sticks. Non-red sticks are not allowed to serve as dragon heads and hall masters.

The code of the white paper fan is four one five, four times fifteen plus four, etc., such as sixty-four, which means the sixty-four articles of the Book of Changes, the meaning of the number of hearts, and the warlock has a white paper fan in his hand, hence the name. It is usually said that 4 + 1 + 5 = 10, and the base number is referred to as ten bases. Responsible for clerical work, mathematics, and usually also responsible for the financial affairs of the association, and the management of the number book.

The code of straw shoes is four three two, four times thirty-two plus four is equal to one hundred and thirty-two, one hundred and twenty-eight monks and four civilians in the last years of the Ming Dynasty joined forces to resist the Manchu invasion of the Central Plains, because the monks wear straw shoes and get the name, referred to as nine bottoms. Responsible for the internal and external affairs of the contact, usually a wide range of contacts. ”

"What about Forty-Nine? 4+9=13, isn't that the thirteenth bottom? It's bigger than a red stick! ”

"The Hongmen ceremony opened to collect horses, and all the younger brothers must recite the "Hongmen Thirty-six Oaths" and get the name 49. Forty-nine or above is the bottom, which means that there are people with status in the community. Only the big bottom can accept people into the club, that is, when the big brother accepts the younger brother. Forty-nine? 'Little bottom'! ”

"Then I'll stay in Tsz Wan Shan first, help the eldest brother recruit a few younger brothers, and when the eldest brother takes up the position, I will take them to Mong Kok to join the eldest brother, and give the eldest brother a strong reputation."

"You take in the younger brother in Tsz Yun Mountain, avoid my father, don't be crooked by him."

"Got it, big brother."

"Also, practice using guns more often, don't just practice knives. In 1840, the foreign devils snatched Hong Kong by virtue of muskets and artillery, defeating Manchurian dogs with miscellaneous broadswords and spears. What age is it now? Depend on! ”

"Back then, Brother Dao Boy's father relied on a knife to make a name for himself in the rivers and lakes. Moreover, Hong Kong is a gun ban. Besides, I don't have a gun, and even you don't have a gun, big brother, how can you practice? ”

"Back then!? Why don't you start with the five ancestors of Shaolin? The Americans are all on the moon! Look at the newspapers and magazines, too!

Who says you can't practice without a gun? I'll tell you about the time - back then, when the Japanese came to China, we Chinese did not have as many guns as the Japanese, and there were not as many bullets as the Japanese, how to practice? It's not enough to fight! Those soldiers can't practice guns, so they can first practice aiming, end guns, arm strength, and wrist strength.

Don't think it's useless! During World War II, there was a military education film "Rifle Marksmanship" in the United States that taught the big brothers in the army how to train the younger brothers. Even if the Americans are not short of bullets, they don't let their younger brother get the gun, get the bullets, go to the shooting range, and then play a random game in ping-pong, but also train how to hold a gun, end the gun, aim, and correct. Then the eldest brother will test whether the action is right, and whether the younger brother has done all the basic things. When the younger brother is familiar with the muscle memory by heart, he will go to the shooting range for live-fire training. Learn something! ”

"Big brother, what you said is too complicated, and I don't even have enough brains."

"When you come out to mix, you must know how to eat your brain. If everyone on the rivers and lakes is shrewd, then there is no fishing, because some people eat brains and some people are stupid, and these stupid people are used to step on the top of the brain-eating people in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Thank you, big brother."

"I'm your eldest brother, thank you?"
