Break out of the courtyard

Zhang Heping came to the racecourse today because he had read "The Book of Horses" and had upgraded his horse betting skills to the Grand Master level, ready to make some money.

Horse racing on Hong Kong Island has a history of more than 100 years.

Because the threshold for participation is low, you can win tens of thousands of dollars in the Six Treasures jackpot with only 2 yuan, attracting many ordinary people to participate and dream of getting rich overnight.

Horse racing is scheduled on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons and evenings, with 6+6 races per day.

Before every horse race, each rider takes their horse out for a lap.

At this time, the audience can observe the conditions of the riders and horses with their naked eyes, and combined with their past performance, predict the ranking of the horse racing competition, and then place bets.

Zhang Heping possesses Huajing-level Chinese medicine skills, and his ability to look, hear, and ask questions makes it easy for him to see how energetic the riders and horses are.

Coupled with his newly learned horse betting skills and conservative betting methods, it is difficult to lose.

Of course, after playing 6 games this afternoon, because he did not bet more than 2 yuan per game, he did not win much in total, 15266 yuan.

Although there were still 6 games in the evening, Zhang Heping was worried about safety, so he took Tang Xin back in a rickshaw.

Because Tang Xin participated in the whole horse buying process, she knew that Zhang Heping did not rely on luck, so she increased her exercise at night, hoping to keep Zhang Heping with her beauty.

The next day, Tang Xin remembered to apply for a new certificate after being reminded by Zhang Heping.

After her Hong Kong Island ID was obtained, Zhang Heping took her to buy two pairs of large, thick-framed sunglasses, the kind that could cover half of her face.

Then, he also bought Tang Xin a sun hat so that others would not recognize her.

Then, Zhang Heping took Tang Xin to buy a second-hand diesel-powered Prince brand car. The new car price was HK$1.26 and the second-hand price was 4300 yuan.

After giving money and signing the car purchase contract in Tang Niu's name, Zhang Heping did not let the car dealer handle the transfer of ownership, claiming to go by himself, but then asked Tang Xin to drive the car to the suburbs.

"My dear, if you want to learn to drive, I can just drive the classic car in the courtyard. There is no need to buy a second-hand car, it is from Rishima." Tang Xin said with some disgust.

Zhang Heping smiled, "Why didn't you object when the money was given?"

"When there are outsiders, you have the final say!" Tang Xin leaned on her seat and looked at this little man who learned things so fast with fascination.

"When there are no outsiders, what I said doesn't count?" Zhang Heping put away his smile and looked at Tang Xin seriously, with a strong sense of threat.

"Forget it..." Tang Xin reached out and picked up Zhang Heping's chin, and said charmingly: "I will do whatever my dear tells me to do."

"Really?" Zhang Heping said, reaching out and pulling Tang Xin's head over...

November 11th, Saturday morning.

Zhang Heping assembled his rifle and put away his shirt and green uniform, he couldn't help but frowned:

"Give me!"

Being stared at seriously by Zhang Heping, Tang Xin, who was only wearing a pair of pink silk pajamas, couldn't help but turn her head and look away, "Wha, what?"

"I can't live here for a long time, otherwise it will hurt my parents." Zhang Heping suddenly became sad when he saw Tang Xin's side face, and couldn't help but add, "You are pregnant. If you want to get married, you can go and get pregnant." Lose."

"I..." Tang Xin looked at Zhang Heping in surprise, then touched her flat belly in surprise, "Am I really pregnant?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Heping wrapped the shoes and socks he had brought with him in a plastic bag, put them into the Magic City luggage bag, and said lightly:

"If you give birth to a child and don't find another man, I will find opportunities to visit you in the future, but I can't give you a status. If you marry someone..."

"I won't marry!" Tang Xin hurriedly walked over, lay on Zhang Heping's back, put her hands around his neck, and said foolishly: "Ever since I was rescued by you in the flood with a roar, I will never forget you again. I always look for you in the crowd and want to see you again. But you are so young..."

"How am I too young?" Zhang Heping asked dissatisfied.

"It's getting smaller now!" Tang Xin bit Zhang Heping's ear and said with a silly smile: "If you love me again, I will wait for you forever!"

"Little or not?"

"No...be gentle..."

……

After lunch, Zhang Heping put on the suit and leather shoes he bought in Huadu, put on his big sunglasses, took the large leather suitcase, the two black luggage bags and a pile of black plastic bags inside, and got in the car.

He also took more than 4 yuan of Tang Xin's private money, as well as a pistol and two magazines from her family, and committed suicide at the racecourse alone.

The six horse racing games in the afternoon started at 6 o'clock. Zhang Heping started conservatively with 1 yuan, and then increased the buy-in by 2 yuan for each game.

At 6 o'clock, Zhang Heping finished counting the banknotes upstairs, and there were 41 more thousand-yuan bills on the stand by the window.

The six horse racing races in the evening started at 6:6. Zhang Heping started with 45 thousand-dollar bills in a private room. As a result, the racecourse refused to accept them, claiming that they were a charity and suggested that Zhang Heping go to Macao and Hong Kong.

At this time, Macao and Hong Kong were darker than Hong Kong Island. How could Zhang Heping save his life and go there?

I saw Zhang Heping casually throwing out two piles of money and said: "For the last time! Otherwise, I will go to the stage to guide others to place bets."

The waitress on the side glanced at the male manager, and when he nodded, she picked up the two piles of money and ran to help Zhang Heping place the bet.

"Where do you live, sir? Do you need us to arrange a car to take you back?" the male manager asked seemingly unintentionally.

Zhang Heping took out his pistol and put it aside, saying calmly: "No need!"

The male manager's heart twitched and he hurriedly exited the private room.

At this time, the racecourse was still amateur-level, and there was no big capital to burn money. Although it was relatively formal, it was not affordable.

In addition, based on the Hong Kong film in his previous life, Zhang Heping learned that there were many gangs involved in the racecourse at this time, and the water was very muddy!

So, just be careful and stop when you're done.

Not long after the first game of the evening, 11.5 thousand-yuan bills were delivered to the box.

Zhang Heping opened the large suitcase, took out two black luggage bags and a pile of black plastic bags, and asked the waitress and male manager to help him put money in it.

Put 5 lumps of money into a black plastic bag, 50 lumps in total, put them in two black luggage bags, and finally put them into a large suitcase.

Zhang Heping randomly picked a few thousand-yuan bills from the pile and handed them over as tips.

Then, I saw him put away the change, carry the suitcase and go out.

After Zhang Heping drove away, the male manager hurriedly called and reported Zhang Heping's license plate number.

It was approaching 8pm and it was getting dark.

An off-white car sped out of the city at high speed. On a section of coastal road, it hit a black classic car and ran off the road and flew into the sea.

Not long after, a man in a suit emerged from the sea with a large suitcase, and came ashore amidst the shouts of the woman next to the classic car on the shore.

"Those guys at the racetrack can't afford to lose. I won 500 million from them, so they won't let me buy a horse!" Zhang Heping put the suitcase in the trunk with some dissatisfaction, and then sat in the back seat.

Tang Xin got into the cab, started the car and headed back to the city, saying with lingering fear:

"When you drove into the sea just now, you scared me. When you surfaced, I realized it was you. Don't do such dangerous things in the future!"

"Silly woman, I'm talking to you about money!" Zhang Heping pinched Tang Xin's cheek.

"My family is not short of money!" Tang Xin was still frightened by Zhang Heping's behavior of rushing into the sea, and said coquettishly: "For this little money..."

Zhang Heping interrupted: "This is the money I left for you and my children. It's different!"

"Oh!"

Tang Xin responded softly, her face softening a lot.

Zhang Heping hid in the back row all the way, and when a car came, he would lie down.

The next morning, Zhang Heping burned the large suitcase, two luggage bags, sunglasses, the suit, the dress he bought for Tang Xin in Huadu, as well as shoes and socks.

Tang Xin wore the green military uniform she wore all the way south, as well as the white shirt that had been wiped with blood, and the two small red certificates that she snatched, which were carefully collected by Tang Xin.

The green military uniform, shoes and socks, as well as rifle parts and other items that Zhang Heping wore have been packed into a Magic City luggage bag with several black plastic bags outside.

The two lingered in the yard for more than 20 days. When Tang Xin had obvious pregnancy symptoms, she stopped allowing Zhang Heping to touch her. She even got into a little temper and asked Zhang Heping to go shopping with her.

Tang Xin had always wanted to buy something for Zhang Heping and let him take it back to see things and think about people, but she couldn't choose anything suitable.

Zhang Heping understood her little thoughts. When he was eating wonton noodles for 7 cents a bowl at a food stall, he took out a 50 Hong Kong dollar and asked the waiter to buy him a sketchbook, a knife, a few... pencil.

Then, he drew a dozen sketches:

There was a scene of Zhang Heping shouting at a group of refugees who were surrounding Tang Xin to grab buns in the flood that was up to his ankles.

There is a scene where Zhang Heping and his classmates participated in the National Day performance rehearsal and were stopped by Tang Xin as soon as they got off the car.

There is a close-up of Zhang Heping standing in the chorus and Tang Xin sitting in the orchestra playing violin.

There is a scene of Heping passing by on a bicycle and Tang Xin being escorted by a group of people and passing by.

There is a scene of Tang Xin sleeping on a hard bed holding Zhang Heping's right hand, snoring with her mouth open.

……

Finally, this kid also slightly changed the lyrics of "In My Singing" and copied them on the hard cover of the sketch book, which made Tang Xin burst into tears, so he dragged Zhang Heping to record the song that night.

The world is so big, why do we meet;

Is it fate, is it destiny;

You exist within the depths of my mind;

In my dreams, in my heart, in my singing...
