Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 183

Tang Xin was a kind-hearted girl after all. She only asked for a military coat. The military uniform and another military coat covered the two of them on the ground.

Back in Courtyard No. 7, Zhang Heping asked Tang Xin to wait at the public toilet while he pushed the bicycle back home.

Then, he took one of his white shirts and a set of green military uniforms and went out, asking Tang Xin to change into them in the women's restroom.

Then, Zhang Heping ran home and told his family that he was going south to play for a few days while packing his things.

The Modu brand travel bag contains rifle parts and bullets wrapped in sacks, as well as skinning knives, money tickets, dried meat and other items.

The second sister Zhang Pandi stood on the side of the road, watching Zhang Heping's retreating figure, and said gossiping: "Mom, that girl is so tall! She is only a little shorter than my brother."

"Don't lie. Your brother said that he went out to play alone. Don't be wrong."

"Hmm..." The second sister Zhang Pandi took her mother Ma Xiuzhen back to the house, leaned over and whispered: "I think they will stay in the hotel tonight, and you can have your grandson next year! Hehe!"

"I told you, don't talk nonsense!" Mother Ma Xiuzhen said seriously: "Don't tell anyone, including Zhang Yong, your father, and your sister! Remember?"

"Uh! Is it so serious?"

"Yeah! I'm going to burn these gray clothes and pants, and you can guard the door for me."

……

Zhang Heping actually wanted to check out a hotel room, and there was a good chance he could take advantage of the situation.

However, in order to make the trip south smoother, Zhang Heping took Tang Xin to a state-owned photo studio, took out a piece of iron wire from the Modu travel bag and unlocked the door, which made the girl Tang Xin's eyes widen!

Later, Zhang Heping took Tang Xin in to take two photos, and then developed the photos in the darkroom...

After pasting the new photos of the two people on the two small red ID cards they had stolen, and burning the negatives and original photos, they rushed to the Capital Station to take the train.

"Shen Lu, what is my name?" Zhang Heping stood at the door of Capital Station and asked Tang Xin.

"Tang Niu!" Tang Xin replied quickly.

"Shen Lu, where are we going? What are we doing?"

"Tang Niu, we are going to the south to study!"

"Shen Lu, how old are you? Which class am I in?"

……

After Zhang Heping once again confirmed that Tang Xin remembered their false identity information, he took her into the train station.

In fact, when taking the train now, as long as someone is wearing a green military uniform, no one will check. Zhang Heping is just taking precautions.

In order to reduce talking to others, Zhang Heping found a hard sleeper on the lower berth and let Tang Xin hold his right hand to sleep first, while he sat next to him and fell asleep.

The train started on time, and there was a chorus of students on the train. With the clanging sound, it was actually very noisy...

But Tang Xin fell asleep, snoring slightly and showing some cold symptoms.

It's a bit troublesome to eat on the train. They don't sell food or drink anymore.

If you want to eat, you have to get off at the city station, go to the guest house to eat, and then return to the station to catch the next train.

Or like Zhang Heping, prepare four pieces of dried meat and a marching kettle.

Zhang Heping and Tang Xin managed to survive three days and three nights without getting off the train, relying on this little dry food and water, until they reached Huadu Station.

After taking the military coat out of the station, Zhang Heping randomly found a remote corner and threw it away.

The temperature here is over 20 degrees, and even wearing a green military uniform feels hot.

After leaving the station, the two went to eat something first.

Then, Zhang Heping took Tang Xin on a walk through the streets, and finally met a few blind gangsters at night and made a small fortune.

That night, the two of them found a hotel. After washing up, Zhang Heping hugged Tang Xin and fell asleep without doing anything.

Early the next morning, Zhang Heping took Tang Xin to the department store to buy an outfit. He bought a large leather suitcase and a swimming ring.

That night, the two rushed to the small fishing village in the south, chose a remote place to go into the water, and secretly swam to the opposite island.

However, when the two of them landed on the shore and Zhang Heping took off his wet clothes and opened his suitcase to change into a new shirt and suit, the big girl Tang Xin took the initiative to throw herself into his arms... For a moment, the waves were crashing and the waves were turbulent. .

After one night, Zhang Heping became a man, and Tang Xin lost blood and became a woman.

The next morning, Zhang Heping, who was in a suit and leather shoes, and Tang Xin, who was sluggish in a floral dress, grabbed the big suitcase behind them with both hands and went into the city to find a courtyard surrounded by high walls in Kowloon Tong.

The person who opened the door was a maid in her forties who knew Tang Xin.

The two were communicating in Cantonese. Zhang Heping didn't understand it at first. It wasn't until he quickly learned Cantonese skills that he understood most of it...

Tang Xin's two brothers didn't live here, and this woman actually wanted the maid to help her deceive Zhang Heping, pretending that her two brothers were out discussing business.

"Your yard is more than a thousand square meters!" Zhang Heping walked into the yard carrying Tang Xin on his back. He didn't seem to understand and walked around the three-story villa in the middle.

"Yeah!" Tang Xin hugged Zhang Heping's neck tightly, as if she was afraid of losing this lover who was 7 years younger than her.

"How much does such a house cost?" Zhang Heping's thoughts of hoarding a house started to rise again, and his mind was thinking about ways to make money at high speed. It was said that Hong Kong Island seemed to be very dark at this time!

Tang Xin turned her head and looked at the maid behind her, and asked in Cantonese: "Aunt Li, what are the prices in the yard here now?"

"Miss, the No. 1 courtyard with more than square feet at the intersection sold for yuan last month." Aunt Li replied slowly in Cantonese.

Tang Xin turned around and put her head on Zhang Heping's head, and said softly: "My yard may cost 400,000 to 500,000 Hong Kong dollars."

"More than five thousand square feet is equivalent to more than five hundred square meters. The total price is 230,000 yuan, and the unit price per square meter is only more than 400 yuan? Is it so cheap?" Zhang Heping was surprised and continued to ask:

"What is the average salary here? How much does your domestic servant earn per month?"

Tang Xin tilted her head to ask the maid and learned that her monthly salary was 830 yuan, while the monthly salary of ordinary office workers was 100 to 500 yuan.

"It's a pity that there is no swimming pool." After Zhang Heping visited the yard, he strode towards the gate of the villa.

Tang Xin said with some disappointment: "My mother was afraid that something would happen to me while playing in the water, so she didn't build the swimming pool."

"Can you contact your brother by phone?" Zhang Heping asked casually.

Then, Tang Xin pretended to communicate with the maid Aunt Li, and Aunt Li shook her head and said she couldn't do it either.

"Then let's take a rest first. Which room should I sleep in?" Zhang Heping glanced at the white-toned European decoration in the house, which was nothing special.

"This way, go to the third floor." Tang Xin pointed the way with a blushing face, leading Zhang Heping to her boudoir.

Zhang Heping entered a small bedroom on the west side of the third floor. After glancing at the furnishings inside, he knew whose room it belonged to.

"If I sleep in your room, will your two brothers kill me?" Zhang Heping threw Tang Xin on the bed, walked to the window and looked outside, and asked with a smile.

Tang Xin didn't answer and sent away the maid who had followed her. "Aunt Li, go down! Make us something to eat. We'll come down to eat later."

As soon as the maid left, Zhang Heping locked the bedroom door, took off his clothes, pants, kicked off his shoes and socks, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Not long after, Tang Xin followed into the bathroom awkwardly...

That night, Tang Xin secretly went downstairs and called her eldest brother and second brother respectively. She called them to the living room and told them what happened to her parents and her, and asked them to find a way to save her.

……

After three days of rest, the radiant Tang Xin wore a white cheongsam and was about to take Zhang Heping out shopping.

She tried to use her 4 yuan savings to buy Zhang Heping clothes, shoes, socks, watches, belts, wallets and other items, hoping to corrupt this tireless little animal with material things.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Heping, who had watched horse racing TV programs at Tang's house for three days, took Tang Xin to the racecourse and bought a book "The Book of Horses" before returning to the villa.

For several days, Zhang Heping studied the "Horse Sutra", forcing Tang Xin, who was originally a lady, to transform into a goblin at night, obsessed with his young lover, trying to charm him and stay on Hong Kong Island.

However, that little animal was so powerful that Tang Xin could not last until the end, so she fainted early and slept until dawn.

November 1966, 11, Wednesday morning.

After Zhang Heping waited until Tang Xin got up, he asked her to bring 1 yuan, and they went to the racecourse together to place bets on horses.

The simplest way to play at the racetrack is to win alone with a single T.

The odds of single T are the lowest among all methods, only 1:1.6.

Just buy 10 yuan, and then if the 3 horses you choose finish in the top 3 regardless of order, you can get 16 yuan back and win 6 yuan.

The odds of winning alone are 1:5.7. As long as the horse you bought finishes first, you can collect the money.

That is, you buy 10 yuan, get 57 yuan back, and win 47 yuan.

By the way, all the live betting stations at Hong Kong Island Racecourse use computers, while in China...
