Living in the Hong Kong Film World

Chapter 2 Kowloon Walled City
Phew~! ! !

The huge plane passed by at low altitude, almost touching the chaotic buildings full of post-modern art atmosphere.

Feinan had never seen such densely and chaotically crowded residential buildings, the distance between buildings was less than one meter.

The buildings on the outer circle are inclined at different angles, but they are closely connected, like a monster made of cement, steel bars, steel pipes, and antennas.

Dense lights shine from every part of the residential building. The so-called windows are covered with clothes rails and clotheslines. extended to the roof.

There is no place that represents the entrance at all between the buildings, as if you can only enter it by getting into its gap.

It is a dark labyrinth.

Seeing this building that should have disappeared in the long river of history stand in front of him, Feinan felt a sense of detachment and distortion at this moment.

Damn it!I really came to Xianggang in [-]!

Taking a deep breath, he crossed the road and walked towards the city.

Walking through the dark and narrow alleys, the smell of urine and domestic waste rotted and stinks came to the nostrils.

Several children, big and small, didn't realize it, and ran past him happily.

The colorful dilapidated signboards above the head are hung with neon lights, stretching to the roof, with different sizes, and the intricate lanes are divided into several directions. In each lane, there are bustling people talking loudly.

A few drops of cold water fell on the top of his head, and when he looked up, he didn't know who's freshly washed clothes were hanging on the full clothesline, dripping down.

Candles were lit in the dark room stalls on both sides. About a dozen young boys were smoking cigarettes, drinking beer, and playing cards, but their eyes were looking in Feinan's direction warily.

"Hey! Boy! Who are you looking for?" The bald man sitting in the middle of the card table suddenly asked.

Feinan showed a smile, and walked forward, "Hello, brothers, I'm here to find Uncle Fei."

His Cantonese was learned from old Hunan and Hong Kong movies during the years when he was sick and bedridden. According to a patient in Guangdong, his level is not bad.

"Uncle Fei?"

The bald man looked him up and down, took a deep breath, raised his chin, and asked, "From the mainland? Just got off the boat?"

Feinan nodded: "Come to visit relatives."

The bald man sneered: "Smuggling is smuggling, what about visiting relatives?"

Feinan laughed along, and glanced at the gangsters on both sides of the card table. They were staring at him sideways.

The bald man stood up and walked towards him: "There are eight if not ten people named Uncle Fei in the walled city. Which Uncle Fei are you looking for?"

Feinan replied according to the information in his memory: "It's Uncle Fei who runs a grocery store on Longjin Road."

"Oh, Ah Hua's father?" The bald man's gaze eased a lot: "This is Guangming Street, just turn right at the end of Longjin Road."

He took out a box of three or five, lifted the lid of the box with his thumb, and handed it to Feinan.

Glancing at him, Feinan reached out and pulled out one.

Snapped!
The bald man lit the lighter again and handed it to Feinan.

Feinan hesitated for a moment, put the cigarette in his mouth, but hesitated.

As if seeing his concerns, the bald man said lazily, "Don't worry, I, the bald king, never do offloading. My white powder is not so cheap that I can give it away casually."

Hearing this, Feinan lowered his head and lit the cigarette.

Well, it's true three to five.

The bald man nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand: "Go!"

"Thank you!"

Feinan thanked him and walked in.

Crossing the alley and rounding the corner, Feinan dropped the cigarette in his hand on the ground.

Guangming Street is the concentration area of ​​poisoning stalls in the Kowloon Walled City, and the candles at those stalls are provided for drug addicts.

The bald man is nice to say, but the drug dealer's cigarette is better not to smoke.

Turning the corner, the two sides became more lively.

The waterman carrying the bucket, the tenant pouring water out of the washbasin, and the postman delivering the letter passed him by.

Fantan restaurants, barbershops, and dog meat cafeterias are located on both sides of the alleyway. On the second floor, there are noises from the mahjong restaurant and Pai Gow stalls. From the third floor upwards, there are a few sparks flickering in the dark, dirty and dirty. The glass had a soft pink glow.

After walking back and forth along the alley, Feinan finally found his cousin's grocery store.

The cardboard boxes, cigarette boxes and hanging socks at the door covered Xiao Ban's face, so Feinan didn't see it just now.

On the other side of the door is a glass smoke cabinet, in which all kinds of cigarettes are placed, illuminated by lights.

The shelves on both sides of the wall are filled to the brim, with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, pots and pans stacked in between, messy and orderly.

Three people were eating at the small table in the back. Seeing him coming in, the old man on the left put down his bowl and chopsticks and got up: "Do you want to buy something?"

Feinan sized him up and said, "I'm looking for Fei Mingda."

"I am." The old man narrowed his eyes and recognized him.

"Uncle, I'm Anan!"

"Anan?" The old man looked happy, reached out to grab his arm, and looked him up and down: "Great, Ah Hua said that the marine police caught a group of stowaways last night. I thought you were caught."

"It's fine, just come in!" My cousin enthusiastically took his hand and walked in: "Hey! Let me introduce you, this is your cousin, and this is your cousin Ahua."

"Hello, cousin." Feinan greeted.

Auntie Biao didn't get up, she snorted from her nostrils as an answer while scratching the porridge with her chopsticks.

Cousin A Hua was more enthusiastic, got up and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I've heard about you a long time ago, and I finally met you today, let's sit down!"

Ah Hua was about the same height as Fei Nan, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a relatively high nose bridge. He was pretty, but not as strong as Fei Nan.

"Are you hungry? Eat, eat!" My cousin brought a small bowl and helped Feinan fill it full of porridge.

Their dinner is very simple, the staple food is porridge, a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a palm-sized steamed fish.

After walking for a day, Feinan was already so hungry that his chest was on his back, and he didn't care about humility, so he picked up the rice bowl and started to eat.

"What about the reincarnation of a starving ghost?" Aunt Biao muttered.

Feinan pretended not to hear. He was no longer a brat, and he knew that a full stomach was more important than the so-called face.

After the meal, the uncle took a sip of tea and said to Ah Hua, "Take Anan out for a walk, to get familiar with the environment."

"Okay." Ahua took Feinan in his arms, walked to the door, and took out two boxes of Sanwu from the cigarette cabinet.

When my aunt saw it, she opened her mouth and cursed: "Take cigarettes again! Go home without money and fool around all day. I'd rather give birth to you than to give birth to me!"

Ahua strolled out nonchalantly, and handed Feinan a cigarette: "My mother is like this, but she has no bad intentions, just get used to it."

"Our road is Longjin Road, facing Jinliang at the gate of the city. This is the oldest street in the Kowloon Walled City. Casinos, brothels, mahjong halls, Pai Gow stalls, fan stalls, dog fighting rings, dog meat There are canteens, smoke halls, and noodle stalls here.”

Ah Hua took him to shuttle between the alleys and buildings, and there were many gaps that could not be seen as a road, but after getting in, there were holes in the sky, and after passing through, he came to another street.

"The road here is very complicated, you have to get familiar with it as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to get lost."

Ahua smoked a cigarette: "More than half of the young people in the walled city have mixed prefixes. Many people are black households. If they don't mix prefixes, they have no way out. You will mix with me in the future. Seeing how strong you are, I will be a If you become the Hall Master, you are the Double Flower Red Stick!"

Seeing Feinan looking at him speechlessly, Ahua laughed and said, "You're lying! My mother told me that you can't get ahead in the underworld, and even if you get ahead, you won't see the light. , you can follow Brother Xia, he is still very good.”

"Hey! This used to be the only well in the walled city, but it was closed when my dad came here. Now we use water from the water pipes from outside the city."

Ahua pointed to the faucet not far from the well, where there was a long queue, and everyone was waiting to receive the water with buckets: "There are only eight water pipes in the Walled City, and these eight water pipes are controlled by the Welfare Association. The membership fee will be used for water, and if you don’t pay it, you won’t have it, is it fair?”

"There are even fewer public toilets. There are only two. Many people use them at home. This is the closest one to us, but there are often queues."

Ah Hua walked all the way and introduced him all the way.

Around the corner, several plump women in cool clothes were standing by the wall smoking and chatting.

"Sister Hua hasn't opened tonight?" Ah Hua greeted with a smile.

"That's right! You're not here to take care of the business either." The youngest of them, a woman with wavy curls, said with a smile, flirting with a provocative wink.

Another woman smiled and said, "He's still a chicken, and he's here to take care of your business. Don't you want to pack a big red envelope?"

"Ah Hua is such a handsome boy, it's not a loss to get a red envelope!"

Where is Ahua the opponent of these few, he hurriedly led Feinan away.

"Sister Hua and the others are all Lou Feng here." A Hua felt that it would be embarrassing to be scared away by a woman in front of Fei Nan, so he changed the subject: "Damn it, it's great to be a woman, you can get money as soon as you have a leg."

"You can also go to Thailand for a knife!"

Ahua was stunned for a moment before he understood Feinan's words, and punched him with a smile: "Wow! You are not a good person either!"

He went back to the shop happily, it was already late at night.

Aunt Biao made up the bed, and Feinan and A Hua slept together tonight.

Cousin and the others also slept in the shop, laying bunks on the floor.

Feinan was already exhausted, but he couldn't fall asleep in bed.

Phew~! ! !

The flights at the nearby Kai Tak Airport were still taking off and landing, and the roar of the huge engine seemed to be ringing in my ears.

Cousin and the others seem to have gotten used to it, and Ah Hua has already started snoring.

Placing his arms under his head, Feinan thought about his future life.

In the original world, he was terminally ill, his time was running out, and he had no relatives. It seemed that this was a chance for him to start all over again.

The cousin is nice to him, and the cousin is also very kind. Although the cousin is not forgiving, she still cooks an extra portion of porridge for him for dinner, and helps him make the bed, and then she goes to sleep with the cousin on the floor. .

This family is not bad, since I have borrowed his body, I should live well for him.

Although the current life is not very good, he has advanced memory and an auxiliary system.

It's just that this system doesn't seem to be as strong as the others in the novel?
The next day I was woken up early by the roaring plane.

Cousin and the others got up earlier than him, and Ah Hua had already gone out.

"Come to eat." The cousin greeted him.

The breakfast is still white porridge, but there is an extra portion of rice rolls, which was bought by my cousin.

The uncle read the newspaper, while looking at the lottery numbers of the Mark Six lottery, while listening to the radio and waiting for the live broadcast of the horse betting.

Putting down the newspaper regretfully, the cousin took off his glasses and asked Feinan, "What are your plans for the future?"

"I'm going to find a job first." Feinan replied honestly.
