At night, Chen Rao, under the grumbling of the fishmonger, took an advance of 100 yuan and came to the lawless area of Kowloon Walled City to rent a room at the lowest price.

The landlady gave him 80 yuan in change, threw a key, turned on the light in the room, and

Chen Rao looked around. Everything was there, but the handshake building outside the window made him unable to see the sky, and the rats that could still shuttle between the buildings even though he was on the 6th floor, made him feel that it was not worth it.

He asked doubtfully:

"Isn't there anything better?"

The landlady said disdainfully:

"If you think the place is too bad, go stay in a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui and I guarantee you’ll live like a god."

After saying that, he hunched over, turned around and walked out of the dim room.

Chen Rao went out of the house and went to the alley downstairs to buy dinner. He had a big appetite and bought two servings.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house and took out the key, he saw a little girl next door half-lying by the door, staring at the lunch box in his hand with her fingers between her teeth.

Chen Rao looked at the little girl and touched the money in his pocket. He squatted down, rubbed the little girl's head, put down a lunch box, stood up, and went back to the room.

The moment the room was closed, he clearly saw a beautiful but haggard woman holding a child back in the house.

Of course, the lunch box also disappeared.

At night, the sound of cooking, coughing, and quarreling came from the buildings...

After a long time, Chen Rao fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, he opened his eyes and looked at the dark in front of him.

Only the ray of light between the buildings reminded him that it was already late.

He hurriedly got up, washed up and ran to work.

When the fishmonger saw him, he cursed,

"You bastard, I thought you ran away with my money. It’s already noon, why didn’t you wait until I got off work before coming?"

"Come and take over, I'm so tired!"

Chen Rao grinned.

"Uncle Fish, you can’t see the sun in the rented room, and you don’t know the time."

He said, but he didn’t stop working, gutting the fish and bagging it.

The fishmonger thought for a moment, then found a half-broken electronic watch from the fish stall, wiped it, and saw that it was still usable.

He threw the watch to Chen Rao,

"Now, don’t say I don’t take care of you. You can’t buy this watch in the mainland without a hundred yuan."

Chen Rao was about to say thank you, but the fishmonger continued:

"You can use it first, and it will be included in your salary at the end of the month."

Chen Rao took the watch and thanked him sincerely:

"Uncle Yu, I really thank you for your eight generations of ancestors."

I don't know if the fishmonger heard the hidden meaning in his words, and he said happily:

"It is not enough to thank them. When I become rich, I will build a temple for them. I can support a house of beautiful women in the mainland, all thanks to the blessing of my ancestors."

"If you work hard, I will help you get rich!"

Chen Rao said nothing more, but worked hard.

Although he didn't make much money, he had to do his job well even if he worked for one day. This was his principle.

At this time, two green-haired thugs came to the fish stall, and the sticks in their hands made the fish tank clang.

The blackmailers came!

The fishmonger saw the two thugs, hurriedly stepped forward to hand over cigarettes, and smiled:

"Brothers, haven't you already paid the market fee for this month?"

A green-haired man smiled contemptuously and suddenly thrust a stick into the fish tank, killing several fish!

"I asked you to pay, so you paid! Don’t you even know this little bit of business rules?"

The fishmonger looked at the dead fish distressedly, with a wry smile on his face.

"Brother Chang just came to collect the crops two days ago, and everyone knows it."

Brother Chang is a rampant man in Changfu Village. He is the boss of this area and is known to all the neighbors nearby.

The two of them smiled contemptuously.

"He went to the sea to feed the fish. We are now following He Liansheng Guanzai Sen. Do you know that?"

When the two said this, they were excited.

In the past, when they went out to hang out, no one knew Chang Ge. But now, when He Liansheng is mentioned, the whole of Hong Kong will tremble!

Hearing this, the faces of the stall owners in the market turned bitter. If a different boss collects money once, no matter how much he earns, it will not be enough for this group of people to suck blood!

Chen Rao saw that no one said anything and didn't want to pay attention.

Who would have thought that the two green-haired people were still not satisfied after shouting.

Seeing that Chen Rao was still killing fish and completely ignoring them, they couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"You only know how to kill fish, right? You'll be a loser for the rest of your life!"

He lifted the fishmonger's collar again.

"You have the best position in the whole market, you have to pay half more. If anyone dares not pay tomorrow, I will smash their stall!"

Chen Rao's fish-killing knife clenched so hard that it made a banging sound, and a dangerous cold light flashed in his eyes.

"So arrogant, Hong Kong doesn't follow the law?"

Green Hair spit out the betel nut in his mouth and sneered:

"In Hong Kong, if you are powerful and rich enough, you are the king!"

"Don’t accept? If you don’t accept, I’ll kill you, you bastard!"

Chen Rao’s eyes flashed coldly, and he was about to take action!

His hand was suddenly held tightly by the fishmonger, who looked at him pleadingly and stuffed a gold bull into his hand.

"Ah Rao, don't make trouble, Uncle Yu begs you to do it."

The others in the market also lowered their heads quietly, not daring to look at the two green-haired men.

Chen Rao sighed:

"If you don't help yourself, no one will help you."

Clang!

Chen Rao threw down his knife, asked for a day's wages, and walked out of the market.

He realized that the high cost of land in Hong Kong was a natural result.

The air here was not sweet enough, the rule of law was not transparent enough, and there were also people who took bribes.

It was just a joke to want to do a legitimate business in Hong Kong in this era!

He suddenly frowned and turned to look at the young man who followed him.

"What are you doing with me?"

This young man has an impression of selling fruits in the market. He can be patriotic and Liansheng merchant Zhanmi for money in the future, but now he is still very immature, just like Yang Guo who just came out of the ancient tomb.

Zhanmi shrugged,

"Who likes to be bullied every day? I originally wanted to join He Liansheng, but I just heard that you are powerful in what you say and do, so I want to follow you."

Chen Rao asked with interest:

"I have nothing now, why are you hanging around with me?"

Jimmy pointed at his eyes:

"I'm very good at judging people. You're different from those lackeys."

Chen Rao glanced at him calmly.

"I'm going to do something big in a couple of days. If you're brave enough, come with me."

Zhanmi gritted his teeth and followed Chen Rao.

When they returned to Kowloon Walled City, it was already evening.

Chen Rao was carrying a few meals back to his room.

When he passed by, he put a meal in front of the next door and knocked on it.

As soon as he returned to the rented room, Zhanmi shouted exaggeratedly:

"Brother, you are living in such a shabby house?"

Chen Rao picked up a piece of food and asked:

"What, you are so powerful, give me the house in Tsim Sha Tsui to live in?"

Jamie sat down awkwardly, picked up another pair of chopsticks,

"Of course I can’t afford a house, so I usually live in the fruit warehouse."

After dinner, Chen Rao half-lay on the bed, squinting his eyes, and suddenly asked:

"Zhanmi, do you dare to kill someone?"

Crack!

Zhanmi, who was cleaning the dishes, trembled and the bowl fell to the ground.
