Chapter 12 The deputy police dog and the beast
It is said that if you want to find veterans who have carried guns, it is most convenient to go to Mount Mosing Ridge. There are more than 10,000 remnant soldiers gathered there, but just pick them hard.

But the political connotation of Mount Xingling is very strong, and the identity of the remnants and regular soldiers gathered together has not been removed. Xian Yaowen can think with his toes that Chiang Kai-shek will use those people to make some fuss sooner or later. He does not want to go Zhan, I can only give up the idea of ​​recruiting people at Moxing Ridge.

After drinking the last drop of wine, Xian Yaowen crossed the sea and went to the Western District area.

Sai Wan was the main gathering place for remnant soldiers before the establishment of the Mount Davis Refugee Camp. Three or four months ago, remnant soldiers would wander around here doing nothing during the day and watch the excitement, and at night they would sleep on the floor under the eaves of the roadside with tar paper or blankets. . Every day, policemen came to arrest those remnants who had no money to eat and went to steal and rob. Therefore, the British Hong Kong authorities set up a so-called refugee camp at Mount Davis in the west of Hong Kong Island.

Xian Yaowen came here just to try his luck, to see if he could meet some remnant soldiers who were unwilling to go to Mount Davis Mountains, and who could avoid being hunted by the police without falling into trouble.

After wandering around the streets without seeing anyone he wanted to meet, Xian Yaowen made preparations and headed into the alley again.

With luck, when he turned into the second alley, he saw a strong man huddled in the corner. His pants had been cut off, and the rest looked like a pair of cropped pants. They were dirty and stained by sun-drying. There was mud and dirty water on the ground. Judging from the color and style of the pants, there was no doubt that they were military pants before.

On his feet are a pair of M42 military boots. If these shoes belong to him, it can basically reveal two pieces of information. They come from several relatively elite troops, and they are a low-level officer at the company and platoon level.

The calf muscles have clear texture and are strong and powerful. It can be seen that they contain good strength. They may have practiced martial arts or received long-term military training. They most likely climbed up step by step. It is unlikely that they will be strong.

The upper body cannot be seen, only the back wrapped with a piece of torn cotton wool can be seen. The hair on the back of the head can be seen, it is messy, but not too long.

Xian Yaowen made a decision in his mind and opened his mouth to say: "Would you like to find a place to eat?"

Hearing this, Can Bing moved his upper body, but did not turn around. He just asked lazily: "What kind of food?"

Xian Yaowen chuckled and said: "Knife-edge rice."

"I don't join the club."

"I didn't let you join the club. Have you heard of Zhang Zongchang's Fengjun 65th Independent Infantry Division?"

"The first advance detachment of the Belarusian Army are all old men."

Hearing the answer, Xian Yaowen chuckled again and said: "I'm looking for you to do the same job, forget about the doctrine and the country, and only fight for money."

The remnant soldier turned over and sat up, moved his buttocks to lean against the wall and looked at Xian Yaowen. At the same time, he also showed his true appearance. He was in his thirties and had a scar on his left cheek. Judging from the shape, it should have been injured by shrapnel or stray bullets. The old injuries are not recent, and the appearance is just average. If I have to sum up the advantages, I can only say that he is very masculine.

Xian Yaowen was sizing up the remaining soldiers, and the other party was also sizing him up, "Peach card or gourd head, take one."

Can Bing opened his mouth, and Xian Yaowen saw his teeth. They were in good shape and well maintained. He was very likely to be a child of a wealthy family.

Teeth can completely reflect a person's living standard, especially in this era. You can tell whether you have eaten refined grains or coarse grains for a long time by looking at your teeth. Everything else can be disguised, but teeth cannot deceive others. If you can open your mouth and observe carefully, there may even be It is possible to analyze where you will live for a long time.

Of course, it cannot be too accurate and can only be used as evidence.

Xian Yaowen took out a new cigar, toasted it, lit it and handed it to the other party. Then, seemingly unintentionally, he observed the other party's actions of picking up the cigar and smoking it afterwards - the standard cigar holding posture, and if the smoke did not stop the lungs, the other party would smoke it.

After smoking a cigar with the other party for a while, Xian Yaowen said: "When did you have your last meal?"

"One and a half days or two and a half days, I don't remember." Can Bing shook his head.

"Have you ever received formal and systematic military training?"

"Have."

"Where were you trained?"

"Ramgar."

Xian Yaowen's heartstrings moved and he asked calmly: "Pan Yukun's men?"

The remaining soldier said excitedly: "My commander is General Sun Liren."

Xian Yaowen waved his hand, "One thing, I heard that Pan Yukun came to Hong Kong a few months ago, why didn't you go to him?"

"Why should you take refuge in him?" The remaining soldier was still excited.

Xian Yaowen waved his hand again, "Don't talk about your past, as long as you know how to fight. I'm not talking about large-scale battles, but small-scale hand-to-hand conflicts. What we are playing is precise shooting, not random firepower of raising a gun in one direction." cover."

"I have sniper training."

"Oh?" The secret positions and bullet flight times of the four guns."

"Uh..." Can Bing was stunned for a while and said, "I can only fight, but I can't speak."

"I hope you really know how to do it. There is no room for fraud in this life-saving craft. I'll give you a minute to decide whether to use your real name or give it a new name. Whatever you say your name is, I will call you how I will call you from now on."

As he spoke, Xian Yaowen turned sideways and faced the remaining soldier with his arm. This not only gave the other party the illusion of respecting privacy, but also reached his most comfortable shooting posture, and at the same time reduced the area where he was shot.

"I haven't agreed yet."

"I didn't say that I would definitely want you, and I would also participate in the trial training. I don't want waste." Xian Yaowen said with a smile: "However, I am a good person, and I will not let your hard work go in vain. I will be paid during the trial training, and I can still work every day." Eat meat.”

Can Bing was silent for a while before he said: "Chuang Fei, my name is Cang Chufei."

"What three words?"

“Store save, save save, fly fly.”

"The savings are flying, the savings are flying away. Your father has a deep hatred for you. This name is unlucky. I will still call you the deputy police dog from now on, the deputy of the chief and deputy. A bad name is easy to make a living. Carrying a gun to fight, it is not a good thing to have a good name. , you can call me a cockroach, but in your place I should be called a thief?"

Although Zhuang Fei spoke Mandarin (Mandarin of the Republic of China), his Sichuan accent was very strong. Xian Yaowen could tell that he belonged to the Wanzhou area. He was not sure, but he would definitely not be able to escape from Chongqing.

"Correct."

"Then you can call me a thief or a thief. It's up to you. Deputy police dog. Let's go. I'll take you to have a good meal first, and then I'll change all the garbage on you."

Xian Yaowen flew out of the alley with his savings, hailed two rickshaws and went to a Chaozhou food stall. He ordered a pot of jidi porridge and drank it slowly. He paid the money carefully before leaving to find a tailor shop. . Hong Kong's garment industry has sprouted at the beginning of this century. However, the garment manufacturing departments are all attached to the weaving factories and there is no independent garment factory. In the 1930s, independent garment factories appeared, but the garments were mainly vests, Mid- to low-priced items such as sweaters, blouses, underwear, cotton socks, and swimsuits.

Recently, Western-style clothing has become popular all over the world. The Chinese have gradually changed their habit of hiring tailors to make Tang suits. Shops selling ready-made clothes have begun to appear on the streets, but there are only a few patrons. People still like to go to tailor shops to have their clothes made to measure.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a dog looking at people or admiring foreign things. If you go out in a decent suit at this time, passers-by will not dare to look down on you, the police will not trouble you, and you can enjoy better services in some public places.

Zhongji Tailor Shop is a tailor shop that Xian Yaowen found. When he opened the door and entered the store, the owner of the shop immediately greeted him with a smile: "Sir, do you want a custom-made suit or gown?"

"Show me some clothes that I can wear immediately. I want them urgently." Xian Yaowen smiled back and said politely.

"Of course there are a few sets, but they were ordered by someone who paid a deposit in advance..." the boss said with a very difficult expression.

Xian Yaowen took out five yuan and slapped it in the boss's hand, "This is the expedited fee for you, boss, don't say it's not enough."

Tailor shops rarely have ready-made suits. If they do, there are only two possible situations. The first is that the customer paid a deposit but never came to pick up the goods, thus losing their hands; the second is that a certain style is very popular and the supply exceeds demand. The tailor shop will first make a few pieces according to standard body shapes, and they can sell them immediately when they meet suitable customers.

No matter what the situation is, there is no embarrassment. The boss is just taking Qiao.

The boss took a look at the banknotes in his hand, and after tasting Xian Yaowen's words, he nodded quickly and said: "Enough, that's enough, I'll get it right away."

The boss quickly walked into the inner room and came back soon carrying three or four suits, as well as matching shirts, ties, and bows.

Xian Yaowen started to select, eliminating one set that was too fat and another set that was too narrow. Finally, he chose dark blue between two well-fitting dark blue and brown sets, paired with a white plaid shirt and a bright blue and white straight-grained tie. Then I selected the leather shoes that the boss brought for the second time to sell, and quickly selected a pair of matching colors and the right size.

There is no need to doubt Xian Yaowen's ability to recognize measurements and sizes. Having seen countless women, he has already reached the state of "having no clothes in his heart and no clothes in his eyes". As long as he takes a look at a woman, he can tell whether she is wearing a bra or not. Are they underwired, are they thickened, are they tied with a body-shaping belt around their waist, are they wearing invisible butt-lifting pants?

After choosing a complete set of clothing, Xian Yaowen took a closer look at the workmanship of the suit and shirt. He found that the tailoring was decent and the lining materials were also very particular. The seams were French stitched and the openings were well closed. Overall, the materials were good. Well, the workmanship is also exquisite, so he asked the boss to tailor it to him and planned to try to customize a set here.

When the boss heard this, he felt very happy. He took off the measuring tape from his neck and measured Xian Yaowen while complimenting him: "Sir, your temperament and figure are very suitable for wearing a suit. It's just the workmanship on your body." It's a bit bad and it doesn't highlight your good figure. You can rest assured if I do it here. I have been making dresses for more than 30 years..."

The boss's series of boasts were filtered out by the "Great Wall of Anti-Blowing Wall" in Xian Yaowen's ears. He just waited for the other party to measure his crotch and reminded him, "I like to put it on the left side."

Finally, I paid a total of 262 yuan including the deposit. If I add a little more, I can almost catch up with the money I spent on the furniture two days ago.

Returning to the Chaozhou food stall with all the clothes on hand, Chanshang Fei had already finished his porridge and was waiting there.

"I am full?"

"I'm full." Chanchanfei burped.

Xian Yaowen smiled lightly and said, "The first meal will be vegetarian, and in the evening we will have some meat."

"it is good."

"Let's go and take a hot bath in the public bathroom."

Xian Yaowen took the savings to Sai Ying Pun again and had a good wash in the public bathroom in the neighborhood.

When Zhuan Fei finished washing and put on his suit, his whole person felt as if he had completely changed his appearance. The previous decadence had been swept away, replaced by a spirit from the inside out, with a faint hint of bookishness.

After leaving the bathroom, Xian Yaowen handed half of the cigar that he had cut in half while waiting for it to Chandian Fei, "This is the last one."

Changchangfei blocked Xian Yaowen's hand, "I won't smoke. It's fine."

"No need to be pretentious, just take it." Xian Yaowen put the cigar into Changchunfei's hand without any doubt, lit a match for the two of them, took a puff, and pointed to the outfit on Changchangfei's body, "This pair The first month's salary is two hundred and thirty-six yuan. Your first month's salary includes food and accommodation, plus money for another set of clothing. This is informal treatment. The formal treatment will be discussed after you pass the trial training. It will be one year. Your salary is enough to buy a building."

Changshufei gave a wry smile, "With such a high salary, can I live for more than a year?"

"Hahaha." Xian Yaowen laughed and said: "You have entered a dead end where you take your life very lightly. Maybe your life is more precious than you think. Do you know any other good fighters in Hong Kong? "

"I know a few."

"Very good. Tomorrow you go ask them if they want to eat knife-edge rice. I want two more. It's best for the whole family. One person can eat enough and the whole family is not hungry. I'm afraid they will do something drastic if they don't care. Things come up.”

"I'm just alone, aren't you afraid of me?" Chanshufei asked.

Xian Yaowen patted him on the shoulder, "You can't. The first time I saw your eyes, I already knew that you are a loyal person, you have righteousness in your heart, and you will not do anything unjust."

Zhuang Fei's lips trembled, but he didn't say what he wanted to say. He just smoked his cigar silently.

Naturally, his actions could not escape Xian Yaowen's gaze. He patted the other party's shoulder again. Xian Yaowen leaned against the wall, looked up at the sky, and remained silent.

Two streams of white smoke curled up, affecting two men who had their own concerns.

Half of the cigar was burned out. Xian Yaowen took his savings and flew across the sea. He bought two bottles of Hollandaise (soda) near the pier. The two of them walked slowly back to Sham Shui Po and looked for a New Territories original shop outside Tin Kwong Hui that did not have a stall license. The resident vegetable vendors bought a lot of vegetables, pork and beef, and when they met the Dan family, they bought some fish, shrimps and crabs.

Then they went to the grocery store to carry a box of beer and some bottles of Dutch water, and then they headed home.

On the way, Xian Yaowen told Chanchanfei that there were two meat tickets at home, but the other party did not make a fuss or express any opinions.

A meal with a fire and a glass of beer brought Xian Yaowen and Changchang Fei closer to each other.

……

The next day.

Before his savings flew out, Xian Yaowen gave him two hundred yuan so that he could treat an acquaintance to a nice meal.

Xian Yaowen himself was not in a hurry to go out. Yesterday when he was lighting the stove, Xian Yaowu told him that someone had come to see the house. There was a pair of people. The man was polite and looked like a scholar. The woman was wearing a cheongsam, which would attract men's attention. Bulging.

At that time, Xian Yaowen laughed and scolded Xian Yaowu for being too obscene, but when he was waiting for the couple who came to see the house, he couldn't help but look at the woman a few more times, and a title emerged from the bottom of his heart - "Shocked!" She couldn’t afford the rent and she did this.”
