The creaking old yellow minibus crunched through the streets of Yau Ma Tei, filled with salty wet guys talking and spitting in whispers.

Ang Lee and the young man sat side by side, seemingly out of place with the atmosphere in the car.

The young man leaned his head towards Li An and asked in a low voice:

"All these people are going to the walled city?"

"yes, you didn't listen to what the man just said, go find the girl."

Li An looked the young man up and down, with a smile on his face: "You don't know what it means to find a girl, right?" ”

"Of course I do."

The young man nodded: "It's just to find someone, I also went to the walled city to find someone." ”

The words are so clear, but I can see the young man sitting next to him, at the age of twenty-six or seventeen, he still looks like he doesn't know anything about the world. Li An couldn't help coughing twice, as if he was choking on saliva.

He shook his head helplessly: "Dude, are you sure that the person in your mouth is looking for people and girls?" ”

"It's all looking for people, what difference can it make?"

The young man replied suspiciously.

Looking at the other party's eyes, Li An was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed:

"Whatever you want to understand."

Without too much explanation, in the complex environment of the walled city, it is too simple to do. Sometimes, there is nothing wrong with suffering a small loss.

"Your first time in Hong Kong?" Ang Lee asked.

The young man didn't say anything, and his expression was in a trance.

"I'm from Australia, and I'm looking for someone in the walled city."

After saying this, he changed the topic a little embarrassedly: "By the way, brother, what are you doing in the walled city?" Also to find someone? ”

"So to speak."

"After talking for so long, I still don't know your name?"

"My name is Ang Lee."

Li An smiled and asked knowingly, "What about you?" What do you call it? ”

"I, I, my name is Ah Fist."

Seeing the young man stammering in response, Li Ang smiled and said nothing.

"Didi~"

From time to time, car horns let out a shrill screech.

The minibus swept past all kinds of new high-rise buildings and low-rise tenement buildings, and drove all the way from Yau Ma Tei Guolan all the way through the East Boundary Street intersection to stop at the entrance of the walled city.

As the car door opened, the two people who were chatting happily followed the crowd out of the car.

The young man who called himself Ah Quan looked at the mottled city wall and the four blurred characters of Kowloon City on the city gate, and his expression was in a trance.

The man came over and urged impatiently:

"Hey, what are you two doing stupidly and not leaving?"

Ah Quan came back to his senses: "Okay. ”

"I'm not going." Li An opened his mouth and said, his eyes turned to look at the city gate, where Li Jianjun, who was wearing a short shirt, was looking at him.

When the man heard this, he stared at Li An with unkind eyes.

"You're kidding me! Do you see what this place is before you speak? When I was a great benevolent person, I thought that if I didn't come to the city to play, there would be a free car to sit on? Just be interested."

A blue crab appeared in front of the man's eyes, and the chattering man suddenly closed his mouth.

"Is ten dollars enough?" Li An spoke indifferently.

The man rubbed his hands, reached for the banknotes, and smiled.

"Enough, enough!"

Li An glanced at him: "Then you don't want to leave?" ”

"You're not with us?" Ah Quan asked back.

Li An shook his head: "No, we are not on the same path, and we will have a chance to meet in the future." ”

"Gone."

As soon as the man pulled the half-pushed fist, he walked towards the walled city.

Seeing the young man leave, Li An walked in front of Li Jianjun.

"Are all the people here?"

"Here, I'll take you."

"Smack!"

Shoes stepped into the sewage, splashing large patches of muddy water.

At this time, it was noon, the sun was shining outside, but it was gloomy inside the walled city.

In the cramped and damp alley, Li An and Li Jianguo walked forward side by side, their eyes unconsciously looking at the simple and dilapidated siege in front of them.

As far as the eye can see, there are dilapidated buildings that have been put together and built crookedly on top of the original residences, covering the sky and the sun.

From entering the city to the present, in just five or six minutes, you can see from time to time along the way, there are skinny and pale Taoist friends curled up in the dark corners of the corners. If you don't pay attention to the other party's chest that is still slightly undulating, there is a high probability that you will think it is a dead person.

As the two passed, the mouse, which was not much smaller than the cat, was frightened and jumped out of the lying Daoist.

"Uncle Jun, what are the forces in the walled city?"

李建军 slowly says:

"The biggest is undoubtedly the Big Three. Fushoujin on Guangming Street, specializing in smoke houses, red pill halls and powder grids, is dizzy when he smokes himself. Feng Chunmei and Feng Xiaman are the big fishing family in Anle Building, running stripping, dressing and dancing halls and brothels. Ke Wanchang is the big dealer of the gambling house in the center of Longjin Road, operating the gambling house and the underground boxing hall."

"Hmm."

Ang Lee nodded, almost as well as he understood.

"What else?"

"That's the Chaozhou Gang, and there's the old camel Ding of the walled city, known as Ding Ye. He is old in the walled city, similar to the village sages, and his subordinates are all outlaws. These two parties did not have much territory in the walled city, and their main business was outside, and the walled city was just used by them as a flour mill's nest. ”

Ding Ye?

Li Anxin groaned, with Lei Luo here, maybe this person will use it in the future.

"In addition to these forces, the rest are some small associations with few members, and there are as many as five or six small associations like this that are active in the walled city." Li Jianjun said.

The water is shallow, and there are many kings.

No matter how mysterious the Kowloon Walled City may have in later generations, it cannot be denied that it is only a six-acre, shabby and dilapidated walled city.

A place with a big palm can accommodate such a community, and Ang Lee can only describe it with the phrase "the shallow king of Baduo".

As they spoke, the two stopped in front of an apartment building with mottled walls.

In the dim light of the stairwell, the two walked up the stairs.

When he reached the fourth floor, Wu Shihao poked his head out of the stairs.

"Here."

Li An glanced at him when he heard the sound and came to the fifth floor.

"You didn't go to the docks today?"

"With so many people coming at once, it's an eyesore to have no place to stay. I'm familiar with the walled city, so I'll just help you find a good place to stay today. ”

Wu Shihao said, walking down the corridor.

As he walked, he said:

"I've rented a total of six rooms in this building, and it's no problem for 14 people to squeeze in."

After walking for about two or three minutes, Wu Shihao stopped. Take out the key and open the door to the room next to you.

"This is your room."

Wu Shihao handed the key to Ang Lee.

Ang Lee took the key and walked into the room.

The room is not big, simply with a single bed and a small wooden table, but it is clean and has a breathable window.

Although it is not as good as the apartment on Zhongfang Street, Ang Lee is only looking for a place to settle down temporarily, and he doesn't care too much.

Ang Lee, who was a little stuffy, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, walked to the window, and pushed it open.

"Where's the guy?"

"I'll call Amin to bring it over."

Wu Shihao replied, turned around and walked out of the room.

After a while, he turned back, and Amin and Da Chun followed him, each carrying a duffel bag.

Closing the door, the two put the duffel bag on the ground, unzipped it, and filled the two duffel bags with long guns and short dogs.

Li An took a handful of M1911 and put it on his waist, muttered for a while, and said:

"Brother Min, call the people first, divide the guys, let's go to Kewanchang's central gambling house to play."

"Okay." Amin answered, turned and left the room.

Li Jianjun frowned and asked, "A'an, just go like this?" ”

"I'm here, of course, I want to meet him first."

After saying this, Li An remembered something, and handed the key to his Zhongfang Street apartment to Wu Shihao.

"If I don't let you come for the rest of this time, you won't come to the walled city. This is my key to apartment No. 2 on the fifth floor at 152 Zhongfang Street, where you take your brother to live. ”

Wu Shihao did not pick it up. He shook his head and said:

"I'm familiar with the walled city, and with us in the walled city, we can also help you."

Ang Lee waved his hand and refused:

"No need. We have more than a dozen guns here, and there are more bullets than the people in his fellow townspeople's association, so we don't need your help. Besides, I'll call you to tell you to bring someone into the city. ”

Longjin Road, the center of the big gambling house.

"Open, eleven o'clock!"

As the dice stopped turning, the clothes were messy, and the middle-aged man with a blue face suddenly collapsed to the ground. No one at the table looked at him, just staring at the stakes on the table, or frowning or gritting their teeth.

"Come on, come on, buy and leave!"

The gray dog shaking the dice had half a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and shouted loudly with a red face.

"Wait, wait, this is still weighing me down,"

The red-eyed middle-aged man screamed in a hoarse voice.

"Crush your mother!"

Greyhound interrupted the middle-aged man's words with an impatient expression, and shouted at him in a perverse tone:

"Bad betting, if you want to bet, you can get money."

The middle-aged man known as the rotten gambling hair had a smile on his face, and his lips trembled and said:

"Brother dog, if you lend me another two hundred, I will have the money to pay you back if you win."

Greyhound didn't think about it, and slapped it in the face of the rotten gambling hair!

"How much do you owe me, Mom? If you have money to gamble, you don't have money to pay back? Today is the deadline, so let's go back and raise money soon. I'm telling you, if you can't raise money tonight, I'll break your legs! ”

The corners of his mouth were cracked by this slap, and the whole person staggered back, sitting on the ground with his buttocks, and his face was red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Dad, Dad."

A young and delicate girl dressed in blue coarse cloth ran over and lifted up her rotten gambling hair.

The girl said with a crying voice:

"Dad, are you okay, didn't you ask you not to come to the gambling house?"

The rotten gambling hair ignored the girl, grabbed her hand, and went to the gambling table.

"Dad! What are you doing, Dad? ”

The girl's wrist hurt and she struggled to retreat. But how could he, a lonely girl, have the strength to break free, and was dragged forward by the rotten gambling hair.

Bad gambling hair with a smile on his face:

"Brother dog, help, I'll press my daughter here, and you can lend me another 200 yuan."

Before he could finish speaking, a hand suddenly reached out next to him and brutally pulled him aside.

"If you don't have money, get away, don't stop Lao Tzu from getting rich."

Li An stared at the rotten gambling hair with fierce eyes, and scolded impatiently: "Don't get out of here!" ”

The rotten gambling hair was startled by Ang Lee's eyes, and wanted to say something.

Li An pointed at him: "Throw him out of here!" ”

The two people who followed Ang Lee walked up to the rotten gambling hair, and walked outside the gambling house with him.

"Bad luck, looking at this decrepit guy will affect the mood."

Li An muttered in his mouth, and reached out to pull away the gambler in front of him, acting like a gentleman.

opened his mouth and scolded:

"Don't get out of the way yet."

The gambler standing in front of him gave him a cautious look and retreated.

Li An nodded in satisfaction, pulled over a stool and sat at the gaming table.

The greyhound reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the girl, and looked at the spoiler who suddenly appeared in front of him with an unhappy expression.

Without waiting for him to speak, Ang Lee suddenly took out a large pile of thick Hong Kong dollars and put them on the table.

"Is the boss going to place a bet?"

The greyhound's eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately changed to a smiling face.

His eyes are vicious, and he can naturally see that the pile of Hong Kong dollars in front of him is in his early 10,000s, to say the least. only regarded Ang Lee as a Kaizi who came to the walled city to have fun.

"I've got all my money out, why don't you bet on me? Come and see your bitter gourd face? ”

Ang Lee's tone was arrogant.

Half an hour later.

"Open, two, three, three, eight o'clock small."

As the dice stopped turning, there was no Hong Kong dollar left in front of Ang Lee.

"Boss, do you still bet?"

The gray dog shaking the dice looked at Ang Lee with a look of hope. Not for anything else, just because the young man in front of him is really decrepit enough. From the time Li Ang came to the table, he didn't wait for him to come out with a thousand, twelve in a row, and each time the points were shaken out in the opposite direction of the young man.

"Naturally, it's down."

Li An replied with a smile, unhurriedly took out the short dog from his waist and put it on the leopard.

The guests who had gathered around the table were taken aback, grabbed the money on the table and stepped back.

Ang Lee stood up.

"I have the same number of points this time, 10,000."

The greyhound glanced at the short dog on the table, and the smile on his face instantly converged:

"Brother, do you know that this is Mr. Ke's territory? You think you're going to scare me with a short dog? Take the guy back, for your sake of losing, I can act like it didn't happen. ”

"You think I'm bluffing you?"

Li An looked at him with a smile: "If you dare to show a thousand people in front of me, even if Ke Wan grows up, he has to give me an explanation." ”

"You"

Before the greyhound finished speaking, Li An's right hand was raised, and the palm of his hand pierced down, smashing firmly on the greyhound's face, directly making him unconscious.

Then he withdrew his right hand, grabbed the short dog on the table, pulled the bolt, and the sound of the bullet being loaded rang out.

"Hey, what do you want to do?" The little four nines on the side shouted loudly.

It immediately attracted the attention of other tables in the casino.

And the guests who were watching the table also realized that something was wrong and rushed outside.

"What do you want to do?"

Ang Lee laughed.

The expression on his face gradually turned cold with the words: "Hold his mother!" What a big guts, dare to come out of my head, really be my Kaizi? ”

"Bang!"

Sudden explosion of gunfire!

"Robbery!"

How to put it, since you are here to find trouble, you naturally have to find some reason.

Regardless of whether Ke Wanchang's gambling house is out of a thousand or not, Ang Lee thinks that he is out of a thousand, then he is out of a thousand.

The more than 10,000 yuan is hard-earned, and it is not blown by the wind, how can it be given to Ke Wanchang for nothing.

All Ang Lee needed was a plausible reason
