Chapter 184 The legendary old man

"There is no two miles of land, it should be eight or nine hundred meters long"

Zhao Chuanxin calmly began to clean his gun.

Large-caliber sniper rifles require proper maintenance. After wiping off the gunpowder residue, Zhao Chuanxin oiled the gun again.

Hong Kong Island is located in the south. Except for the coldest time in winter, it is humid all year round.

It won’t work without applying oil.

Putting away the gun, Zhao Chuanxin stood up, "Let's withdraw and see if they dare to do it tomorrow."

Li Zhitao looked at the chaotic police team in the distance. , his eyelids twitched.

In the past, he wanted to set up Zhongshengtang Huntangkou, claiming to be a man of the world, but when he met Zhao Chuanxin, he realized what true lawlessness was

That was Ying. Police, kill them if you tell them to.

Others are afraid of ghost guys, but Zhao Sheng singles out ghost guys to kill

He also has this amazing marksmanship. He expected that if Zhao Sheng wants to unify the whole country. Hong Kong Island's Tangkou only needs to deal with all the incense masters and even the second marshal from a distance. I'm afraid it won't take more than a month to complete the integration.

How powerful

So sharp

These people can’t read a lot of Chinese characters, and they don’t have the financial means to read a newspaper. Otherwise, if you know what Zhao Chuanxin did in the United States, you will not be surprised.

Don’t do six basic things.

Zhao Chuanxin also built a small wooden boat to experience the feeling of living in a houseboat.

He once visited the developed Hong Kong Island, which also had houseboats.

But that kind of houseboat has become a place for Internet celebrities to check in, and a place where socialites collect money to take photos. It is beautiful, fully equipped and valuable.

The first floor is a well-arranged room and bathroom. The dining room, kitchen and living room on the second floor can be used for singing. The third floor is the bar and terrace. Wearing a midriff-baring dress or bikini to enjoy the sea breeze, holding a red wine glass and pretending to take a photo under the sunset, and posting it on WeChat will make people envious for a long time.

As for the current houseboat, it has a pole and oar and a simple awning, which can protect you from rain but not wind. It is also a place where you can lie down and take a rest.

Just making do.

Six people were crowded into the small houseboat, and it was difficult to even turn around.

Zhao Chuanxin developed a dislike for this small boat after the initial novelty.

"Fei Qiang, go wash your feet quickly, feet can kill people"

"Zhao Sheng, it's not me, I'm a toad boy"

" Feiqiang, shut up."

Li Zhitao, who was fondly playing with the Webley revolver, said, "Rinse your feet, Zhao Sheng loves to keep them clean."

Zhao Chuanxin also went. From the bow of the boat, looking down at the slurry water, the smell hit my forehead.

The people in the boathouse nearby dumped their excrement into the sea.

This is because the previous storm destroyed many houseboats. Otherwise, this place would be densely packed with boats, and every house would be dumped into the sea, and the stench would fill the sky.

He secretly insisted on holding on for two more days to solve the problem.Leave immediately

Hong Kong Island is different from other places.

If it were anywhere else, Zhao Chuanxin would just find a place to live.

But in Hong Kong Island, every inch of land is precious, and many people only have 1 square meter of living space. The building is airtight, and there is no spare place for accommodation.

The bustling Central area is the focus of the police at this time, and you cannot stay in hotels there.

Zhao Chuanxin really had to make do in the houseboat.

Use this water to wash your hands

Think about it and forget it.

Sitting on the bow and smoking a cigarette, Zhao Chuanxin threw the cigarette butt into the sea.

Getting up,

He shouted to the inside, "You guys stay, I'll go out for a walk."

He didn't want to come back until the smell dissipated.

"Zhao Sheng, be careful, the ghosts are hunting you outside."

Li Zhitao and others have become accustomed to this kind of living environment.

In fact, the houseboat they were in was right under the nose of the police.

It’s just that there are many people here and it’s on the sea, so it’s not easy to be noticed.

Zhao Chuanxin jumped ashore.

This is located next to the Central Pier. Some kind of fishing area was set up here in later generations. Diagonally across the bank is Victoria Harbour.

Now it’s all houseboats.

After not walking far, we arrived at Causeway Bay.

Here, Zhao Chuanxin needs to be careful.

I originally planned to go around for a while and then go back after Li Zhitao and the others had finished washing and the smell of their stinky feet had gone away.

But I heard passers-by commenting, "Today's horse racing at the racecourse is so exciting. No. 8 Ma Mi Shan, I like it so much."

"It's in the north, Hokkien, you're a stupid horse, last time Let me lose badly and not be as light as No. 11. I think No. 11 will win."

Hacecourse

Zhao Chuanxin remembered that people in Hong Kong like to bet on horse racing, and he has always liked to join in the fun. , and prepared to walk over with the two of them to take a look.

Horse racing events have been held on Hong Kong Island since the middle of the last century. The Wong Nai Chung swamp in Wan Chai was filled in to become the current racecourse.

In 1884, the Hong Kong Jockey Club was established, and horse racing activities began to become popular and held regularly.

Hong Kong Islanders like to gamble, so gambling is a must when there are horse racing events.

Gambling is the most exciting and even irrational activity.

Zhao Chuanxin has never touched this thing. At most, during the holidays, relatives get together to play a few planes to fight the landlords, not even mahjong.

However, when he arrived outside the racecourse, Zhao Chuanxin found that many Chinese were watching outside.

He patted someone on the shoulder and said, "Brother, why don't you go in?"

There was a temporary stand inside, and all the people sitting inside were foreigners.

"Don't you know, don't you know, we are not allowed to watch horse racing on the same stage as the ghost guys."

What the heck, it's really disappointing.

Zhao Chuanxin discovered that on Hong Kong Island,Everywhere is divided into three, six or nine levels, and the Chinese's status here is as humble as ants.

You can’t even watch a horse race on the same stage as foreigners.

Look at the Chinese people standing on a big stone drum, looking inside with interest, and look at the foreigners inside waiting for the game to start.

Zhao Chuanxin was a little discouraged.

He is now burdened with the task of shaving his head.

I am anxious to change the status quo, but others seem to have adapted to this hierarchical concept forcibly instilled by the great powers.

He pushed the crowd. There was no enemy in front of him, they were all pushed away by him.

"Hold your mother up, squeeze me"

"I'm shitting you"

"I'll beat your lungs"

Zhao The salary transfer was overwhelming and there was a lot of scolding.

His face was not red but his heart was not beating: "Hey, you are not qualified, you are almost squeezed out by you at lunch.

And you, you are such an adult, you can stand still Unstable

Old lady, it’s dangerous here. I’ll give you a hand, be obedient and stand back a little.”

Everyone was pushing and shoving, and everyone watched helplessly as the man grew taller and taller. young people squeezed their way to the front.

Looking at the crowd, they were swaying about and it was terrible to see.

But everyone just talked about it, and no one dared to take action against Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin took a long breath, "Fortunately, I have a strong body, otherwise I wouldn't let you squeeze me to death. People these days just don't know how to be humble."

A man next to him The old man was stunned, "Young boy, I haven't seen anyone thicker-skinned than you in the past few years."

"I asked you, old man, when did you go blind? As everyone knows, I am the thinnest-skinned person."

"Haha"

The old man stopped paying attention to him.

It is better to come early than to come by chance. Anyway, the position that came early was snatched by Zhao Chuanxin.

The horse racing is about to begin.

A horse was led out by a knight.

Zhao Chuanxin took out his devil crystal glasses and put them on, and immediately saw No. 8 "Mi Shan" clearly.

I heard passers-by say that they were optimistic about this horse, but even if Zhao Chuanxin didn't know much about horse racing, he could tell that this horse was too bulky for a horse race.

It looks like a heavy-duty draft horse

In fact, Mongolian horses can often be seen in horse racing at the earliest racecourses on Hong Kong Island.

In recent years, the influence of the event has gradually expanded, and many Western horses have been introduced.

Even so, horses in today's horse racing activities are also diverse.

Anyone who thinks they can get something and looks good will dare to go out and give it a try.

Zhao Chuanxin even saw the figure of Don Hema.

The most popular horse in Lugang Town is the Don hippopotamus, which is simply the number one target for insurance teams to compete for.

As a war horse, the Don horse is undoubtedly one of the best.

As Zhao Chuanxin grows taller, hisDue to his weight, it would be difficult for an ordinary horse to carry him.

For example, when he was in Japan, he wanted to get a horse to ride on, but it felt like riding a dog, so he gave up.

The height of the Japanese horse at the withers is only about 1.3 meters

The competition began.

The old man next to Zhao Chuanxin had just quarreled with him, and now he couldn't help but said, "Knight No. 11 has superb riding skills. I think he will win."

Age That's what grown-ups do, they talk secretly.

But Zhao Chuanxin opened his eyes and told lies, trying to undermine him, "Really? I am optimistic about No. 8 Mi Shan, No. 8 is the best, applause to No. 8"

Old man He exploded as soon as he heard it, "Stupid Mishan is used to plow fields, maybe he can win the first place."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't take it seriously, and said cheerfully, "You don't know how to talk nonsense, look at Mishan, shoulder I'm probably about 1.7 meters tall, and looking at that muscular look, I could be a champion."

I made you scold me for being thick-skinned just now, which made you so angry that you had a cerebral hemorrhage

Old man As expected, I was very angry. This was a kind of irritation after my cognitive dignity was trampled on.

"Idiots have thin bones and bulging muscles. A horse like this can run with a strong temperament. Do you know, don't talk nonsense?"

"You are old and don't understand, a horse must have a big frame." , strong, stable, gentle and easy to control, only in this way can we win the championship."

"Rotten wood cannot be carved"

"Old stubborn"

One sentence for each of them, you do it. I went over and started talking, and everyone else was dumbfounded.

Good guys, the horses haven't raced yet, the old and the young have to decide the winner first

Fortunately, as soon as the ordering gun was fired, the horses rushed out.

The competition begins

Because there are many kinds of horses, there are no standards for weight and other things in later generations. As soon as they started running, the gap widened significantly.

Sure enough, No. 11 was a winner

However, No. 8, who was not favored by Zhao Chuanxin and the old man, could not outrun No. 11, but he only ended up in second place. name.

Onlookers outside were shouting, whistling and cursing.

Those who win money will be happy and those who lose money will curse.

Zhao Chuanxin also looked very happy.

This is like watching football. Even if you are not interested, you will be moved by the emotions of the scene after you are there.

The old man said proudly, "No. 11 will definitely win."

Zhao Chuanxin looked surprised, "You are older and too competitive. You should be more mature." "

The old man was so out of breath that he vomited blood.

You reason with him, and he acts like a hooligan with you. If you act like a gangster with him, he will say you are immature.

Half of my body has been buried in the ground, and you said that I am immature

I asked you to tell me everything.

So he turned his head angrily.

Zhao Chuanxin was cheerful and focused on watching the game.

Hey guys, Mishan dropped from second place to third place.

Then fourth, fifth, sixth

It was overtaken by a horse, and finally ranked twelfth

The problem is, twelfth is the best Second place.

After crossing the finish line, the No. 11 horse was so damned that he tried to bite Mishan.

In Zhao Chuanxin's opinion, Mi Shan was so big that he would definitely fight back, but he got timid and hid aside in despair.

The old man laughed loudly after seeing this, "Horses are just like people, not just big but powerful and courageous"

Whose connotation is it?

If Zhao Chuanxin has any It refers to "horses are bullied when they meet foreigners. Some people want to make foreigners look good when they meet foreigners. But other people are willing to be slaves and are proud of them."

The old man looked him up and down "Young boy, do you think I'm the kind of person who works as a slave for a ghost?"

"Ah," Zhao Chuanxin said innocently, "Old man, don't talk nonsense. A handsome man like me, What bad intentions can there be?"

The old man stroked his gray goatee, "Do you know about the Gui Lao bread poisoning incident decades ago?"

Now, Zhao Chuan The salary is so confusing.

“I don’t know.”

His understanding of history is very partial and he can’t remember the details.

“Once upon a time, ghost guys were very arrogant and domineering.

Later, Chinese people continued to resist British rule. The most famous one was selling poisonous bread to ghost guys.

As a result, the ghost guys panicked and they had to recruit Chinese people to manage the Chinese people.

The situation that Hong Kong is in today is the result of those people fighting for it.

You can't stand it anymore. The Chinese were even worse off back then than they are now."

Zhao Chuanxin was silent for a moment, "You are the one who sold poisonous bread to foreigners, right?"

" It’s true that I was working as a white paper fan in Hehetu at the time, and I planned this incident. The news was very sensational at that time, and the ghost guys were afraid, so they didn’t dare to arrest me. There were tens of thousands of gang members behind me, and if they arrested me, there would be a second station. Come out”

“Awesome

Disrespectful

I take back what I said and I will learn more from you”

Look , Zhao Chuanxin is a good young man who corrects his mistakes after he realizes them.

It turns out that in this era, besides him, there are people who use such fierce methods to deal with ghosts

After learning about the old man’s legendary history, he immediately apologized.

The old man smiled proudly, "Young boy, you have a northern accent, where is your hometown?"

"My hometown is outside the customs."

"That's not the case outside the customs." People are fleeing to the outside world, why are you here in Hong Kong? It’s a good place.”

“It’s a long story, but the main thing is to do some business.”

When he heard about doing business, the old man nodded and said, "When doing business on Hong Kong Island, all aspects must be taken care of.

The constraints imposed by the ghost man must be taken care of by each hall and sent out. It’s not easy to get a card.

Hong Kong Island is different now than it was back then.Well, your own people are also causing harm to your own people.

I know some people in the hall who were all separated from Hetu in the past. If necessary, I can help you make connections. ”

People like to nag when they are old. When Zhao Chuanxin stopped talking, the old man said a few more words.

Zhao Chuanxin did not pick up the conversation.

< p>He doesn't have the time or patience to wait and see. That's not the way Lugang Town behaves.

If you don't obey, you'll be done with it.

He pointed. "You know where these horses are going to be sent" after a race has been completed.

Actually, he is optimistic about No. 11. It would be good to take him back as a stallion.

"Today. If it's too late, we will stop at the racecourse for one night and go back to our respective homes tomorrow. Sha Tsui, Sai Kung, Lantau, etc. The best thing is to transport it to Taiping Mountain nearby. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
