I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard
Chapter 42 Hong Kong, Here I Come
The bulk carrier sailed in the vast ocean for almost a week, and finally arrived at a private wharf in Shek O, Hong Kong that evening.
The Lou family in Hong Kong had been waiting at this private dock for a long time. The bulk carrier lowered the gangplank at the bow, and four cars rushed onto the dock from the deck of the cargo ship.
After the two sides met, there was no time for greetings. The Lou family from Hong Kong drove the car and the convoy drove towards the Lou Mansion on Hillhouse Street in Sheung Wan.
We are finally in Hong Kong? It feels like a dream.
Huaihua was listening to the live broadcast of the platform customer service in the station space. She had been worried since she came out of Sijiu City, and now she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But how could he sneak out of someone else's car without being noticed by everyone? He could only wait and see.
She had been in the station for about ten days and was almost bored to death! People are social animals, and she urgently needed to come out and get some popularity.
Out of boredom, she has replaced all the fruit trees in the space with precious tree species. When she buys a luxury house in Hong Kong in the future, all the furniture inside will depend on these.
Decades ago, the Lou family spent a lot of money to buy a house in Hong Kong, located on Hill Street in Sheung Wan on the main island of Hong Kong. This house is not a northern courtyard house, but a house with Jiangnan architectural style.
It is not even a front and back yard, but a middle yard with east and west yards on both sides. The eldest son of the Lou family, Lou Qiming, lives in the east yard with his family, and his uncle, Lou Zhenguo, lives in the west yard with his family. The middle yard is now left to the head of the family, Lou Zhenhua!
The motorcade drove into Hill Street in Sheung Wan and stopped at the gate of Lou Mansion. The brothers Lou Zhenhua and Lou Zhenguo began to call for help to move the treasures brought from the old city.
In order to facilitate the transportation of the items in the two trucks, the Studebaker car was parked a little further away from the entrance of Lou Mansion. Tan Yali and her daughter got out of the car, and the driver Lao Liu helped to carry their luggage, and then everyone entered the middle courtyard of Lou Mansion.
After receiving a reminder from the platform customer service, Xiao Huaihua immediately emerged from the post station space. She secretly opened the door of the back seat of the car under the cover of night.
While the people in front of Lou Mansion were moving the items on the truck, she slipped out of the door and used her small and inconspicuous advantage to quickly blend herself into the darkness.
Huaihua sneaked out a few hundred meters and came to an intersection after leaving Xili Street. There were street signs beside the intersection. The street she came out of was called Xili Street, and the street in front was called Yongle Street.
She secretly memorized the name of Hillier Street. She must observe this place carefully. If she couldn't find it in the future, she could always ask others for directions.
Huaihua walked aimlessly along Yongle Street towards the crowded places. Before she came out of the post station, she had already changed into a set of children's clothes. A short-sleeved shirt and a small skirt with a Japanese style, half-length white socks and small leather shoes.
In 1966, Hong Kong was already prosperous, with neon lights everywhere on the streets. Even at this late hour, the streets were still busy with cars and people hurrying by.
Huaihua was completely in the dark! She couldn't even tell east from west. It was a completely unfamiliar city, and the people on the street were dressed in completely unfamiliar clothes.
She walked along Yongle Street for a while and saw various night stalls appearing on both sides of the street. The aroma of food stimulated her taste buds, but unfortunately she had no coins in her pocket that could be used here.
After walking uphill for a while, the street lights were dim and there were few pedestrians. She hid in an empty corner and slipped into the space. Her vision was limited at night and she had no sense of direction. She would wait until tomorrow morning to explore again.
Huaihua is still too young. She has no ability to live independently in this real society. Unless she stays in the inn space all the time!
Before she grows up, she can only rely on the help of others. In this unfamiliar city, only Lou Xiao'e will help her selflessly.
I need to wander around Hong Kong for a while, and then find a chance to meet Lou Xiao'e. But I must not let her know that I came here by hitchhiking with her family.
Take advantage of this period of wandering to familiarize myself with this strange city and see if I can find some bargains.
The next day, after breakfast, she came out of the space and saw that the streets were bustling with people. The main island of Xiangjiang was actually a mountain, and she could see the lush green hillside not far away. From the foot of the mountain to the coast, there were tall buildings, and the hillside was full of low and dense bungalows.
There was a newspaper and magazine stand at the corner in front. Some passers-by would buy a newspaper. Huaihua walked over to take a look and immediately fell in love with the Hong Kong City Traffic Map on the newsstand. The price on it was 7 cents per map, but Huaihua felt her pocket and found nothing.
I'm sorry, boss. I need this map urgently right now. I'll compensate you when I have money.
While the newsstand owner was busy greeting customers, Huaihua took a map and left. After turning a corner, she took out the map and began to look at her current location.
She was still in Sheung Wan in the Central and Western District, just two streets away from Aunt Lou's residence on Hill Street. She checked the direction and headed west first. This place was still too close to Aunt Lou's residence. If the two met on the street, she could only pretend not to know each other.
In the afternoon, she arrived at Victoria Harbour in Central. This is the business and administrative district of Hong Kong, with tall buildings everywhere. Government administrative units and major financial banks are all gathered here.
Across Victoria Harbour, you can see the Kowloon Peninsula, two kilometers away. There is no sign of an undersea tunnel in Hong Kong yet, so if you want to go to Kowloon and the New Territories, you have to take a cross-sea ferry.
It is better to stay in Hong Kong! At least there is some security. It is not like Kowloon, New Territories, Tuen Mun and other places where gangs are rampant.
She wandered around the main island of Xiangjiang for a day. As soon as it got dark, she went into the space to rest. In fact, this place is not very large, and most of it is uninhabitable mountains. It is estimated that she will be able to visit the whole place in a few days.
At seven in the morning, Huaihua came out of an alley and found that the sign on the building in front of her was the Jinzheng Bank. The bank was closed and it was not yet time to open.
She turned her eyes and returned to the depths of the alley. She turned on the perspective function and began to observe the building from below. On the second underground floor of the building, she found the bank's vault.
Should I plunder all of them, or should I take two stacks at a time?
Looking at the piles of various cash on the aluminum shelves inside, Huaihua was a little troubled about making a choice.
Anyway, the Hong Kong police can't find anything on me, a five-year-old girl. What's there to be afraid of? I don't have any psychological burden to take the money from the ordinary people!
Huaihua changed her mind, and all the cash on the aluminum alloy shelf disappeared. She then turned her attention to the basement floor.
This is where the bank rents safe deposit boxes to customers. In each safe deposit box, there are real estate deeds, certificates, bonds, gold, jade, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, diamond jewelry and famous watches.
These were all personal belongings, and Huaihua did not touch them. She focused her eyes on an inconspicuous safe, which was full of golden bars, and a pistol was placed on top.
This must be a gang leader who is here. Which normal wealthy businessman would put a gun in here?
Huaihua took all the gold bars into the warehouse without hesitation. Then she turned around and ran out of the alley. She couldn't stay here any longer because the bank would be open for business soon.
She walked quickly for two blocks before stopping. She found a step and sat down. She used her consciousness to enter the warehouse of the post station and began to count the harvest.
There were currencies from various countries, including British Pounds, US Dollars, French Francs, Hong Kong Dollars, and Japanese Yen. Hong Kong Dollars were the largest in number, and she couldn't count them all. There were more than fifty gold bars, all stamped with the issuing bank's stamp.
These coins were all old coins that had been used before, and the Hong Kong police could not find any clues in the currency market. She could use them with confidence!
She took out a five-dollar Hong Kong dollar note and put it in her pocket. She wanted to spend money and try the morning tea culture of Hong Kong people.
She can sing in Cantonese but cannot speak it. She can understand some simple conversations by listening. It should be no problem for her to have morning tea!
As soon as I stood up, I heard the sound of police sirens blaring from far away on the street. With this kind of scene, all the nearby police stations must have been mobilized.
It seems that the police in Hong Kong must be having a lot of trouble these days!
