Chapter 159: Death
Half a month later, Hong Kong Island Pier.
After more than ten days of drifting at sea, he finally set foot on land again.
Luo Hengpo was a little refreshed.
Although the first Spring Festival after the crossing was spent on a ship.
The boat is full of ghosts, and there is no New Year's atmosphere at all.
However, Luo Heng felt that this year was a special celebration.
Behind him, Wang Jiazhi held the crescent moon with a good complexion.
But Gong Liu and Ah Yan supported each other, as if they were more serious than the crescent moon red injury when they walked......
How could a quasi-grandmaster's control over his muscles be something that someone like Gong Liu and Ah Yan, who had never practiced martial arts at all, could deal with?
Communications were not developed, and Luo Heng and others boarded the ship secretly.
So there was no one at the dock to meet them.
Eight people squeezed out of the bustling crowd.
I found a few rickshaws, led the way by the elder brother, and went straight to Tai Wo Street, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island.
When the senior brother crossed the port last time, he used the gold given by Luo Heng and his relationship with Elena to buy a tenement building here.
The old-fashioned architecture is exactly the same as Shanghai.
Occasionally, you can see red couplets and lanterns hanging on both sides of the street.
The atmosphere of the New Year has not yet dissipated.
Several people chartered four rickshaws when they arrived at the tenement building.
Luo Heng saw the third senior brother Wang Huaxuan and Ah Hou from a distance, talking at the door.
Although the brothers have not been separated for a long time, they have met with a different enthusiasm.
"Senior brother, second ...... Second senior brother? β
Wang Huaxian was even more pleasantly surprised when he saw Liu Yunqiao.
Zhang Luo told everyone to come into the house quickly.
Due to the crowd in the gym this time, the group moved to Hong Kong Island.
Luo Heng looked up at the building.
Off-white faΓ§ade with a total of four floors.
There are large French open windows and terraces, which make Luo Heng quite satisfied.
"Senior brother, this building used to be a businessman's property from Shanghai, and after it was purchased, it was subleased.
"But now that the tenants have been emptied, we have a lot of people occupying space, and it is not convenient to have outsiders living together."
Huo Qingyun introduced the situation of the tenement building.
Luo Heng nodded and smiled.
That rent was nothing to him.
However, he still asked curiously: "Senior brother, I didn't give you much money last time, I'm afraid it's not enough to buy such a building, right?" β
When Huo Qingyun heard this, he nodded and smiled: "It's really not enough, originally I wanted to buy a smaller building next to it."
But Elena felt that since the junior brother wanted to let the junior brothers in the gym move over.
"It's too small to be placed, and there's two open shops downstairs and a basement.
"Senior brother, after you come over, there will be a place to teach boxing in the gym."
At the mention of the foreigner girlfriend, the corners of the elder brother's mouth unconsciously showed a smile.
Luo Heng nodded with satisfaction, still very satisfied with the overall layout of this tenement building.
On the first floor, there are two shops side by side, and the depth is enough.
"We cleaned up the basement and gave it to Uncle Wang Dang's house to continue to open a fruit stall, originally I wanted to tell you this after I went back.
"It's just that when I arrived in Shanghai, there were so many things that I forgot about it."
Huo Qingyun scratched his head embarrassedly.
Luo Heng shook his head indifferently and said, "It's okay, Uncle Wang Dang's family has a lot of people, so it's good to be placed like this."
"How did the senior brother solve the money to buy a house? How much is it missing? β
Huo Qingyun remembered the matter at this time, and said with a smile: "Elena borrowed it from the ghost guy's bank in her own name.
"It's about tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, I don't know how much it is......"
Luo Heng nodded, senior brother is a simple character.
Thanks to Elena, it would have been a wrong decision to let the senior brother go to Hong Kong Island to fight the front station.
"Let's not talk about that, let her tell you when I meet Elena.
"I'll take you to the room I've left for you first."
The senior brother was quite excited, and asked a few junior disciples to help and arrange a spare room for Gong Liu and the others to live in.
I personally took Luo Heng into the corridor.
Generally, the tenement building facing the street, because the usable area of the shop should be taken into account on the first floor.
The stairs are built in the back alleys, in the form of external plugging.
That is, in later generations, in many old Hong Kong films.
On the side of the building in the laneway, there will be a zigzag open staircase.
This building is a bit special, the staircase is not only built indoors, but also made of iron.
Luo Heng didn't care much, in fact, his cognition of Hong Kong Island in these years was only limited to the impression of those films.
Follow the senior brother up to the fourth floor.
Because the previous owner was a sublet, the fourth floor was generally reserved for the landlord to rent and live in public.
The size of the partitioned suite is not small.
It was fifty or sixty square meters, divided into three bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, and a small living room, in which the old sofa was supposed to have been left by the previous landlord and had not been replaced.
Luo Heng didn't have any requirements for these things.
Overall, Luo Heng is quite satisfied.
Three bedrooms, Luo Heng lives in a master bedroom with a terrace.
There are two rooms left, one for Gong Liu and Ah Yan, and one for Wang Jiazhi and Crescent Hong.
It can be arranged.
After looking around, I went downstairs with my senior brother again.
When Uncle Wang heard that the people had arrived, he also came to greet him.
Luo Heng looked around, and asked with some curiosity, "Why don't you see Elena?" β
Wang Huaxian grinned: "My sister-in-law doesn't live here, but lives with her friends over there in Victoria Harbor."
"Her friend runs a company, and she's there to help."
Luo Heng nodded and smiled: "Doesn't that mean that Senior Brother won't live with us in the future?" β
Huo Qingyun blushed a little embarrassed.
Said shyly: "Senior brother, don't talk nonsense, I'm ...... I'm still comfortable living here with everyone. β
Luo Heng shook his head and smiled: "This is not good, senior brother, you can't just take care of yourself and snub your sister-in-law." β
There was another burst of laughter.
Uncle Wang Dang said with a smile: "The big guys have come for a long time, and I just called you four little tricks over, everyone gathered together, and your senior brothers have not seen each other for many years......"
Luo Heng's heart moved.
In addition to his own son, Daddy has a total of four disciples.
After the crossing, only this senior brother Zhao who went to Hong Kong Island with his family a few years ago to seek a living has not met.
In my memory, due to the close age, the relationship between the original owner and Senior Brother Zhao is the closest.
It's just that he didn't wait for Luo Heng to open his mouth to agree.
Ah Hou suddenly hurriedly ran in from outside and shouted, "Senior brother, senior brother has your letter......
Everyone turned their heads in curiosity.
Ah Hou held the envelope in his hand, handed it to Luo Heng, and said with a smile: "That fellow villager came to visit relatives on Hong Kong Island, and said that someone asked him to bring a letter to the little junior brother......
Luo Heng took the letter suspiciously.
His brothers and sisters had already arrived on Hong Kong Island at this time.
There are basically no relatives left in Foshan, who will bring the letter at this time?
However, looking at the handwriting on the envelope, Luo Heng suddenly woke up.
"Master Luo personally opened after a long absence"
There is a drop on the side, Chen Zhi.
During this time, there were so many things that I almost forgot that there is still a Wing Chun Chan master living in the gym.
I'm waiting for myself to go north to Jinmen.
Uncle Wang Dang beckoned and asked the third senior brother Wang Hua to call the fourth senior brother instantly.
Luo Heng and the others just arrived today, and everyone has to help clean up the room.
They each got busy.
Luo Heng stepped aside, opened the letter and only glanced at it, his face changed suddenly, and he suddenly got up.
"Little junior brother, what's wrong? What does the letter say? β
Huo Qingyun immediately noticed that Luo Heng's expression was wrong, and immediately asked with concern.
Luo Heng's brows furrowed, and he lost the joy of reuniting after a long absence.
Handing the letter to Senior Brother, he asked coldly, "Senior Brother, what day is it today?" β
The senior brother took the letter with some suspicion and replied casually: "Senior brother, you are on the boat, and your life is confused?"
"We set off on the night of the New Year's Day in Shanghai and drifted on the sea for sixteen days.
"Today should be the tenth day of the first month."
"That's right, on the tenth day of the first month, just a few days later, everyone will celebrate the Lantern Festival together, so lively."
Uncle Wang Dang on the side also happily interjected.
Luo Heng shook his head and said lightly: "I'm afraid that I won't have the opportunity to celebrate the festival with everyone this time."
"I have to go back to Foshan."
Senior Brother also finished reading the letter at this time, his expression was incredulous, and he lost his voice and said, "Uncle Deng is dead? β
"What?"
Uncle Deng was originally famous in Foshan.
And he also has a good relationship with his father Luo Li.
Everyone present, except for a few women who joined behind.
Basically, they are familiar with him.
At this time, when I heard the news of Uncle Deng's death, I was a little incredulous.
Second Senior Brother Liu Yunqiao was puzzled: "How is it possible?" Could it be a mistake?
"When we left for Shanghai before, we went to see him, and he was in good health at that time?"
Huo Qingyun smiled bitterly and handed him the letter in his hand and explained, "Master Chen said it very clearly in the letter.
"Because Uncle Deng refused to sell the Golden Mansion to them, the Dongying people proposed to win or lose in the competition.
"Uncle Deng originally wanted to invite all the colleagues in the Foshan martial arts hall to help.
"I don't want the Dongying people to directly collude with the Foshan Patrol Superintendent to prevent the masters of various martial arts halls who are willing to help the boxing go out.
"Ten days ago, a Dongying man named Miura, and an old man from Dongying, according to the rules of martial arts, entered the Golden Building step by step.
"Uncle Deng, Brother Yong, Brother Shou, Third Sister and others were killed on the spot. Mr. Liu Da escaped because he was old and did not play......"
"Ten days ago? Chinese New Year's Eve? Liu Yunqiao's face also sank.
Luo Heng gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao Dongying is really too deceitful, I have to go back to Foshan." β
Although Luo Heng is not close to Uncle Deng, there have been a few confrontations in person.
But he already knew it in his heart.
Their old men may be a little more domineering and authoritarian.
The starting point was indeed for him.
With the prodigal nature of the original owner, if he doesn't teach him a lesson, he will directly let him go back to the countryside to live an honest life.
He will not be honest with the arrangement.
Later, Luo Heng came through, and because of the system, he showed good strength.
Uncle Deng immediately changed his mind, and led Luo Heng to Shanghai step by step and recommended it to Du Guosheng.
Although in Luo Heng's eyes, this matter is simply redundant.
But that's based on the premise that he has a system and can grow quickly.
If only he was really just a normal, somewhat gifted young man.
can help Du Guosheng, the boss of the Shanghai Youth Gang, and also use it to fight and kill in Shanghai.
is responsible for the arrangement of the back road that the other party secretly leaves for himself.
It can be said that it is the least dangerous and the most reusable position.
Uncle Deng's arrangement, from his point of view, is simply the most perfect way.
They were only wrong, they didn't know that Luo Heng had come through time, and he had already changed his soul.
And just crossed, there is no sense of identity with the original owner's identity at all.
At first, I didn't know what they were doing behind the scenes.
Luo Heng only saw that the original owner was almost sold into slave labor, and the boxing gym was deceived by people.
Ended up dying in the kiln.
Both sides have their own positions in this matter.
There is simply no way to reconcile.
However, so much has happened since then.
Luo Heng gradually understood Uncle Deng's thoughts.
But understanding is understanding, and it is impossible for him to accept such an arrangement.
Face to face, bickering, and even hands-on fighting.
But instead of looking at them, they were bullied and even beaten to death in the Chinese New Year's Eve......
It's like some people don't get along well with their parents and elders.
Many times, when they meet, they will look at each other like enemies, and they don't like each other.
However, it is not good for outsiders to ignore their beaks.
What's more, it's the Dongying people who kill people!
It can be said that whoever comes from the afterlife knows that history.
will naturally have hatred for the Dongying people.
Luo Heng had just been in Shanghai, and he put the Dongying people together, making them suffer a loss.
The elders he knew well were killed.
This hatred almost made his anger almost rush out of the sky.
"It stands to reason that the relationship between Master Luo and Uncle Deng before his death, you should go back to mourn at this time, but you just got off the boat, did you rest for the night?"
Seeing that Luo Heng had the intention of setting off immediately.
Uncle Wang Dang couldn't help but persuade.
Luo Heng shook his head: "It's still not delayed."
"Since the people of Dongying have not let people live well for even years, they come to the door to kill people on Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Then I won't let them have a Lantern Festival!"
Luo Heng's tone was categorical.
Those present could hear his determination.
Uncle Wang Dang said worriedly: "Don't be impulsive, didn't Qingyun say just now that the Dongying people bought off the patrol police, and they colluded with each other."
"Those people have guns, no matter how good your kung fu is, you can't please them......"
Luo Heng shook his head lightly: "Uncle, I know you mean well."
"But that's how it was settled. I immediately set off to go back to Foshan. β
Several juniors and disciples were also worried.
Wang Dang had the heart to persuade again, but was quietly stopped by Huo Qingyun.
Others don't know Luo Heng's ability.
Most of the newspapers on Hong Kong Island are in English, and they can't read them.
These people live at the bottom and have no habit of reading newspapers.
I don't know what happened in Shanghai during this time.
A few of them in Shanghai know how capable Luo Heng is now!
"Senior brother, I'll go back to Foshan with you."
Huo Qingyun stopped the people who were dissuading him and said in a deep voice.
Luo Heng shook his head: "No need, senior brother, you stay here, everyone has just arrived on Hong Kong Island, and many things need to be arranged."
"This time I went back alone. Be free. β
Huo Qingyun's eyes were also full of worry.
Luo Heng has made up his mind and will no longer be verbose.
He also had nothing to clean up.
Once again, he rejected the proposal of the second senior brother, the third senior brother and others to be together.
Luo Heng instructed a few more words.
Let everyone stay on Hong Kong Island with peace of mind, and they will be back soon.
After that, I went upstairs and found the six women of the palace who had rested.
I told myself that I was in a hurry and wanted to go back to Foshan.
The girls couldn't help but worry again.
Luo Heng didn't care about parting with them.
I found an opportunity and quietly took out fifty gold bricks from my backpack.
Put it in the cabinet in the bedroom.
He took ten more gold bricks and handed them to Wang Jiazhi.
The girls have just arrived on Hong Kong Island, everything has to be purchased, and they have no income now, so they are probably embarrassed to ask the senior brother for money.
With Wang Jiazhi's intelligence, I believe she can arrange everything properly.
Go downstairs again and find the elder brother.
Luo leaned into his ear and whispered that there was a gold bar in the cupboard, so that he could find Elena.
I told me about paying off the arrears of the house as soon as possible.
Luo Heng hailed a rickshaw and hurried to the dock.
In fact, the land distance between Hong Kong Island and Foshan is only 200 kilometers.
But there were also no buses in this era.
It is extremely inconvenient to travel by land if you don't drive by yourself.
Most people travel between the two places by boat.
Luo relied on the ability to make money.
With a piece of broken gold, he bought off a British squad leader at the dock.
Soon boarded the ship.
In the middle of the night, I got off the boat in Shantou.
Non-stop, hired a carriage, and went to Foshan......
Finally, a day later, I set foot on the boundary of Foshan again.
This trip to Shanghai.
It was only a little more than a month.
Not to mention the things in the meantime, after coming back again, the whole Foshan seems to have become a lot stranger.
Luo Heng did not go directly to the Golden Building.
Instead, he went back to the gym first.
The carriage stopped in front of the door, and Luo Heng jumped out of the car.
After paying the fare and sending the driver to leave.
Turned around and was about to call the door.
The door of the gym suddenly opened a crack.
Chen Zhi looked at him with some curiosity.
"Master Luo?"
"Master Chen." Luo Heng smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth.
"Did you get my letter?"
Chen Shi hurriedly opened the door and let Luo Heng in.
Luo Heng nodded: "Your letter happened to arrive on Hong Kong Island around the same time as me, and I rushed back after receiving the letter." β
As he spoke, Luo Heng solemnly hugged his fists to Chen Shi again: "Thank you Master Chen for writing to inform me of the news." β
Chen Shi chuckled and shook his head: "Originally, I didn't expect to write to tell you about it."
"It was someone who reminded me that it was best to contact you, and I thought that before you left, you told me about Hong Kong Island, and I asked someone to bring the letter."
Luo Heng raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Who is it?" β
Chen Shi turned around and closed the door.
Chong pointed to the courtyard of the boxing gym and said with a smile: "Won't you just go in and take a look?" β
Luo Heng was really aroused by his curiosity now.
Stepping into the courtyard.
found that in the past, there was an open space for the brothers to practice boxing.
A lavishly decorated carriage was parked.
It looks familiar.
Before he could think about it.
The door to the side cloister creaks open.
A swift shadow sprang out of it.
seems to have found Luo Heng, a stranger.
was stunned and stood up, and bared his teeth at Luo.
Behind, an old voice shouted: "Yuanbao, don't be naughty!" β
This voice?
Luo Heng's heart sudden.
When I looked up, I saw an old man with a sheathed machete hanging from his waist.
Chased out of the house.
"Old ginger?" Luo Heng was surprised to reveal the identity of the other party.
It was the unemployed executioner Lao Jiang who followed Gong Er's side.
How did he end up here? Could it be ......?
Without waiting for Luo Heng to ask, he suddenly realized something.
Hurriedly turned his head, and saw the other side, in front of the main wing house where he lived.
One was wearing a dark flower cheongsam, his eyes were blazing, and he was not angry.
There is a shallow smile on his face, but it does not make people feel cold.
On the contrary, Luo Heng could clearly feel that she was also happy to see herself.
