Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

The leader of Shenji came to say hello to Zhang Xingming. Zhang Xingming smiled and said a few words to them, telling them to pay attention to safety. People from Yi'an would accompany and protect them into the city, so Zhang Xingming didn't have to worry about it.

The gate of the Walled City is an arched gate welded with iron bars, painted with green paint, and there are a few round iron plates on which are written the words Kowloon Walled City in red.To enter the walled city, you don't have to go through this gate, there are narrow alleys between the buildings on all sides to get in.

Chapter 635 Someone Called the Police

Every narrow alley is the most densely populated area with various signboards, and many shops are inside the Walled City.

There are community slogans and a sign of the Kowloon Walled City Owners' Association at the entrance of the alley.

As soon as you walk inside, you can see the narrow alleys are dilapidated, dirty water flows across the road, and all kinds of smells are mixed together and hit the nasal cavity. From time to time, a few children pass by the narrow alleys clamoring, so worry-free Carefree.

The visible space is full of debris, and there are dense things drying on the head. No matter which direction you look, your eyes can only see three or four meters away at most, and even the alley is not straight.

After walking for a while, I looked up enough to see that the walls were mottled, messy wires, TV antennas, rusted iron pipes, oil stains dripping down the walls, weeds in the cracks, and the air was full of smoke. A fishy smell.

Many houses were built back and forth, and there is always a crooked feeling, and the color is not consistent with other places, just like building blocks.

There are high and low buildings in the village, the tall ones are fifteen or six stories high, and the short ones are seven or eight stories high, but the original appearance cannot be distinguished because of random overlays.

There are bakeries, roast meat factories, fish ball factories, noodle factories, garment factories, opium factories, dance halls, various shops and barbershops, most of which are dentists and black clinics. This is almost a self-sufficient world. Many people just live completely in it and never go out.

The messy rooftop is a place for those who are occasionally free to rest and watch the sky, and it is also a paradise for children, running and playing between the dense TV antennas and the temporary sheds.The place where people can't go is buried in thick and smelly garbage.

The planes at Kai Tak Airport have to circle over this walled city no matter when they take off or land. The loud noise is the background music of life here. It is too close. Standing on the highest rooftop with a bamboo pole, the plane can be pulled down.

There are the original barracks and government offices in the Walled City, which are well preserved and serve as centers and schools for the elderly in the Walled City.

There is no water in the Walled City. There are only eight faucets for tens of thousands of people in the Walled City. One is attached to the government office in the Walled City, and the other seven are all outside the Walled City. Therefore, there are people here who collect water for the residents. Of course It must also be a constant battle for competition.

In the Walled City there are a lot of gangsters, more than 150 drug dens, eleven pornographic venues, an unknown number of prostitutes, more than a dozen casinos and more than a dozen dog meat restaurants, all of which are in Hong Kong Island illegal.There are more than a hundred or so dentists in the Walled City, and the equipment is inadequate and medicines are insufficient, but there are still some people who dare to undergo major operations, murders occur from time to time, and blood stains are everywhere.

Except for street patrol uniforms, people from government units hardly ever come to the city, and no one cares what is going on here.

Xiang Yi'an accompanied Zhang Xingming around inside. The alleys here are like spider webs. Once a fire breaks out, it is impossible to rescue. But the magic is that the number of fires here in history can be counted on one hand.

When I came to the former government office in the center, I looked up at Xiang Yi'an and said, "This has been a center for the elderly since 79. The school is next to it. Elderly people without family members in the walled city will be taken here for the elderly. It is donated by everyone and managed by the property owners association. The same goes for the school. The black @帮报地盘discuss and fight will avoid this, and will not make a noise here. You may not believe it, the four who are chasing each other in the alley When Jiu Zai meets a child suddenly, he will pretend that he has nothing to do, hide the knife and wait for the child to pass by."

Zhang Xingming was dumbfounded, and looked around at Yi'an. Looking around from here, there were dense windows and drying objects that made people suffocate. They are very friendly. They will teach children to study, to be motivated, and not to be bad. They will ask grandma and grandpa if they are hungry and if they need help. People always have a few sides, and they are ruthless outside to work hard and survive , and here is home, folks, and the hope of younger generations.”

Suddenly there was a mess of footsteps and voices from the alley next to him, and he said to Yi'an, "It's a stranger." Strangers mean people who are not from the walled city.Li Chun and the team of security guards quickly surrounded Zhang Xingming and Xiang Yi'an and watched the direction of the footsteps.

Zhang Xingming asked Xiang Yi'an, "How do you know it's a stranger?"

Xiang Yi'an shook his head and said: "People in the walled city will not be so loud and chaotic here. This is the most soft-hearted place in the walled city."

Zhang Xingming didn't ask why Xiang Yi'an didn't have any intention of going to the old people's center anymore. He probably wouldn't go in even if someone came to kill him at this moment. People always have a little last stick in their hearts.Whether it's a good guy or a bad guy.

Because the alleys were narrow and small buildings were densely packed, and the alleys turned around and extended in all directions, it took a while for a few people to appear from the front corner, led by two uniformed policemen.The security team immediately relaxed.

The uniformed policemen also saw a group of people here, looked them up and down, and the older one came over and asked, "What are you doing?" A group of people were definitely not from the fortified city just by their clothes.

Xiang Yi'an patted the security team member standing in front of him lightly, the security team member moved away, and Xiang Yi'an walked out from the crowd and said, "Hello, Sir, is there someone calling the police here?" If no one called the police The police will not come into the Walled City, absolutely not.

The uniformed policeman's eyes narrowed. All the policemen on Hong Kong Island would not know Xiang Yian.The old policeman put on a smiling face and said, "Mr. Xiang. Someone reported to the police that the smell next door was too bad for your health, and there was no answer when you knocked on the door. Let's come and have a look." The few people who followed the police also nodded and smiled. Say hello to Yi An.

The veteran policeman looked at Zhang Xingming and his group and asked, "Mr. Xiang, are you here?"

Xiang Yi'an pointed to the center for the elderly and said: "The film company has something to do here. I'll drop by to see the elderly. Do you need help? Ah Biao, accompany the two Sirs to go up and have a look." Among the two people who followed Xiang Yi'an One agreed, and Li Chun also ordered in a low voice, and the three security guards walked to A Biao's side.

The old policeman didn't say anything else, nodded, looked up and looked around and asked the owner's union staff beside him, "Is it this building?" The union staff nodded and said, "It's this building, 805, this building. There is no elevator in the building.”

Two uniformed policemen walked into the building, A Biao and three security guards followed, and only one of the three members of the Owners Association went up, and the other two smiled and talked to Xiang Yi'an.Xiang Yi'an took out the check book, signed it, tore off a piece, and handed it to the elderly center.

Zhang Xingming looked at Xiang Yi'an, thought for a while and raised his hand to take out the check, but Xiang Yi'an stopped him, and said to Xiang Yi'an, "No, you're not from here, they won't accept it, so you won't be embarrassed." Zhang Xingming stunned.

Chapter 636 A Bowl of Sausage Rice

Room 805.

The uniformed police led a group of people to climb to the eighth floor along the dark stairs full of sundries and garbage, and came to the door.

The smell of sausage rice and oily smoke wafted in the corridor.

The neighbor who called the police was already waiting there. It was the residence of 803. She was a middle-aged woman who was a bit fat, with a plastic hair barrel curled up on her head, and she looked a bit like a charter woman.Her man stood at the door of his house and looked at this side helplessly, and there were two small heads popping out from under his legs to look at this side.

As soon as the woman saw the uniformed policeman, she came up and said, "Sir, you are finally here, this is the house, it stinks to death these days, you smell it, what is it so stinky, it is getting more and more stinky, it is going to stink to death, My house is full of bad smells, how can I live there, usually when the two children are at home, I can’t come over to make a noise, and if the children are not at home, I can’t even knock on the door, so I have to call the police.”

The old uniformed policeman sniffled and asked, "Do you cook sausage rice?"

The woman shook her head and said, "No, it's his house. It's getting more and more stinky these days. We eat sausage every day, and we don't open the windows to let the smoke out. The smell of oily smoke is all in the corridor. We dare not open the windows these days. Dare to open it."

The old uniformed policeman went to the woman's house, everyone followed, and the woman also came over and said, "Come and see my house, the house I live in is next to his house, come in and smell the smell, It stinks."

A group of people followed the old military uniformed police into the woman's house. The house was crowded with furniture, TV sets, tape recorders, and video recorders. The family's living standard was pretty good, but the house was still quite messy and Not clean.

The old uniformed policeman sniffed and sniffed, and pushed open the bedroom door the woman mentioned. Twitching his nose, frowning suddenly, he sniffed again, then walked quickly to the window and sniffed carefully, his face changed drastically.

Turning around and leaving the bedroom, the old military uniform asked the woman, "How many people usually live in his house? Who are they?"

The woman closed the bedroom door in distaste and said: "There are three people, one widow with two children, her man has already run away and hasn't come back for several years, the whole family is from the mainland, when he came A child, the young one was born here, and the boy never came back shortly after the child was born.

She takes two children by herself, and works in the factory below. Oh, no wonder, she is going to go to work when the children are not at home. I said why there is no one at home, and I always think that the children are neighbors at home. It's not good to quarrel, it's crazy. "

The old uniformed policeman had a serious expression on his face and asked, "Is anyone in her family now?"

The woman nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the children came back from school, the two children talked to me together, and the sausage rice was just made, and I was just saying that the taste is annoying again. "

The old uniformed policeman asked, "Has anyone else been to her house recently?"

The woman said: "No, no one has come since her man ran away. Never. Oh, I haven't seen her for a long time. It's strange. I haven't seen her every day. It's been a long time." She turned her head and asked her husband, who nodded.

The old uniformed policeman frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "You two children, did you see them just now?"

The woman nodded.

The old uniformed policeman said, "Are you sure no outsiders have ever come to her house?"

The woman nodded again and said, "Oh, SIR, we are next door, and we can hear our sleepiness."

The old military uniform heaved a sigh of relief, his complexion improved a little, and he said, "Okay, then I'll go over and have a look, and you come together." He stepped out of the room and came to the door of Room 805, listened intently, then raised his hand to knock After knocking on the door for the third time, a girl's voice came from the room: "Who?"

The old military uniformed policeman said: "Children, this is Sir. Open the door. Is your mother at home?"

The old door clicked open, then slowly pushed open, revealing a slightly pale girl's face, the child was eight or nine years old, looked at the people around the door in confusion, and finally looked at the old uniformed policeman : "Ah Sir, my mother is sick and not feeling well and resting, what's the matter?"

The old uniformed policeman didn't speak. As the door opened, his face changed drastically. He was pale and white, and sweat could be seen on his temples. He calmed down and lowered his head to ask the little girl, "Who is at home?"

The little girl said: "Mom is resting, and my sister and I are doing homework. My mother said that if I don't do my homework well, I won't give me food."
