61. Entering the port
Provincial-Hong Kong border.
The sky alternates between morning and dusk, until the sky spits out a touch of fish belly white, and then you know that day and night are flowing, and it is dawn.
Territory of the British Empire.
In the flow of people queuing up to enter the port, looking at the conspicuous and clear words, Chen Zhuo's eyes flickered, but in the end, the wind and waves calmed down and calmed down.
The morning breeze was blowing, and it was raining lightly, he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, pressed his hat, held an umbrella under his arm, and carried a rattan box in his hand.
"What are you doing in Hong Kong?"
Before entering the port, listening to the interrogation of the police, Chen Zhuo took out the passport that had been prepared long ago.
"Visit relatives and friends!"
When the paper passport was opened, the policeman's eyes lit up, but it was not that there was anything wrong with the passport, but that there was a small yellow croaker in it.
The policeman accepted it quietly, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, but he quickly covered it up again, handed back his passport, waved his hand at Chen Zhuo, and motioned for him to come over.
Out of the pass, Chen Zhuo called a rickshaw.
The coachman was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, with a lean body bearing the burden of supporting his family, in order to grab customers, he couldn't care about swallowing the steamed buns in his mouth, and stuffed them into his mouth.
"This master, you are also from the north."
The boy had two big feet, a pair of long-worn cloth shoes, exposed dirty toes, a thick and greasy braid around his neck, and a tattered thin jacket on his body, exposing cotton in the wind, and two strong legs and stomachs that were sometimes tight and loose.
actually knows how to exert force, and there is a bit of a shadow of elastic legs.
Chen Zhuo looked curious, "You walked through the dart?" ”
South Fist North Leg.
This statement is not a single finger leg method, but said that the northern martial arts focus on the hard work, whether it is the wrestling method of even wrestling and beating or the pile skills of various sects, when the horse is the first, strengthen the kidney and waist, and stabilize the strength of the legs.
It seems that the dart master who walks the dart and the runner who explores the way are also the first foot force.
For example, Wang Wu is a legged everyone.
At the beginning, the arm of the capital was broken, and the churning of the legs was like a knife and axe, and the tendons of the recruits were broken and fractured, how could there be any life.
And this person has a vigorous pace, few bumps, holding the handlebar with both hands, don't look at the thin body, but the foundation is solid, so he is not calm.
The young man's face was dark and rough, and he said, "The ancestor has passed on a little cat foot kung fu. ”
Chen Zhuo smiled dumbly, this is to watch out for him, and nine times out of ten he is also avoiding trouble.
He didn't have the heart to talk any longer, and looked at the scenery along the way.
Compared with the decaying and dilapidated capital, the current Xiangjiang has developed rapidly since the opening of the port, with many high-rise buildings, and has some prosperity. It's a pity that looking at the yellow-skinned appearance of the people who come and go, this prosperous belonging doesn't seem to belong to them.
There are many stores on both sides, hanging all kinds of signboards; The hawkers begging for a living used to be in a hurry, wearing hats and hats, coming and going in the rain; When the porter and coachman met, they greeted each other in pairs, and then staggered again.
Newspapers and periodicals, photo studios, gramophones, and Western two-wheeled vehicles, some rare things that were not seen in the past, can be bumped into here; There is also an Indian patrolman, with a baton around his waist, a British police uniform, wrapped in a red head cloth, his face is as black as carbon, his face is full of stubble, and he is arrogant.
"This lord, here's Queen's Street."
After a bag of cigarettes, the young man wiped the sweat from his face, beckoned, and parked the rickshaw at a fork
Chen Zhuo stuffed a piece of Long Yang in the past.
The young man hehe Yile, he was not pretentious, he shook his fingers and smiled: "Thank you!" ”
With a shout, the people had already pulled the rickshaw and plunged into the rain like a lightning speed.
Chen Zhuo walked along Queen's Road according to the address given by the third sister, and waited for the flow of people through the downtown to see a signboard called "Gu's Medical Center" on the street, and then walked in curiously and suspiciously.
The infirmary is not big, but it is not small, and it is almost full, even on the ground.
Just glanced over, and I couldn't see a few brightly dressed, mostly ragged people in the market, poor people with rough hands and feet.
Some people pulled out the fire pot with their backs bare, some dozed off with silver needles on their heads, and some people limped in with plasters and then went out again.
"Aunt Liu, are your legs and feet better?"
In the corner, a tall figure was holding a bulging belly, walking back and forth in the pharmacy in a simple cheongsam, a long black hair braid was about to hang down to the crook of the leg, and asked the patient next to him softly.
"Xiaoyu, why hasn't your man come yet? This belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I don't see anyone, and I don't know anything. The eldest lady told you that men are all thin men, and if you want your body, you may run away, you don't have a heart to guard it now, there is a child in the belly, you have to plan for the future......"
A group of old men around rolled their eyes when they listened.
"I said, Mrs. Liu, why are you here again? People are still pregnant with children in their wombs, so you will remember it, and they will persuade Xiaoyu to remarry under the guise of medical treatment in three days. Besides, you have to introduce a few people who can look at the past, the old and the old, the crippled, the dumb and blind, you don't let go of any of them, and you forgot about the last time you were knocked out of your big teeth so quickly? Be careful of getting your tongue cut next time! ”
There was an upright lady who seemed to have endured it for a long time and couldn't listen to it anymore, stood up with one hand on her waist, pointed at the other party's nose and scolded.
"Ren Xiaoyu is such a good girl, look at the ones you are looking for, the eighty-year-old lady can't even look down on it, one is more stumbling than the other."
"That's it, it's too lacking in morality, this doesn't ruin people!"
Seeing this, the people around also followed suit.
During the noise, a girl from the decoction rack suddenly glanced at the door of the medicine hall inadvertently, was stunned for a few seconds, and hurriedly shouted excitedly: "Sister Xiaoyu! ”
The girl who was pregnant with Rokka, heard the sound and turned around, and was about to ask, but her eyes moved, and she also saw the person with a pestle at the door.
The four looked at each other, each silent, and did not say much.
Thinking that she was pregnant with a child, Gu Yu was a lot plump, she raised her hand and pulled a few strands of broken hair scattered in front of her forehead, her eyes were like wrinkled spring water, ripples, blinked, and asked curiously: "How can you dress like a teacher?" Still standing stupidly and doing something, help me take the handle and take down the fire pot on the cabinet. ”
Chen Zhuo put down the rattan box and said with some displeasure: "Why don't you know how to rest?" ”
After all, he had already taken the fire cup, but he didn't hand it to Gu Yu, but looked at the matchmaker Liu, "You want to cup?" Where? ”
"No...... Not me! ”
Mrs. Liu's eyes looked at Chen Zhuo, her arrogant and spicy appearance immediately disappeared, she waved her hand hurriedly, turned around and ran away without looking back.
The rest burst into laughter.
"Haha, Xiaoyu, this is your man, right? He was really born with a good body and a handsome appearance, not bad, not to pick the wrong person. ”
"In the future, there will be men in the store, and someone in the province will have the idea of beating Xiaoyu."
Gu Yu looked at Chen Zhuo angrily, took the fire cup, and whispered: "These are the neighbors and neighbors who grew up watching me, don't scare them." The little thing in my stomach has been making a lot of noise lately, and you came just in time, I thought you would have to wait a little longer, or you wouldn't come. ”
She held her back, her tone was calm, and she said not lightly or seriously, but there was a smile in her eyes.
Chen Zhuo rolled up his sleeves and naturally took over the things in Gu Yu's hand.
"Go and rest."
