The shoes stepped into the sewage, splashing a large cloud of muddy water.
The mouse, not much smaller than a cat, was frightened and ran past Li Yan. The air was filled with the rotten stench from the fish egg processing factory behind the building.
No matter how legendary the Kowloon Walled City slum is in the eyes of later generations. Dirty and dilapidated are the colors here. Those luxurious places in the Walled City are at least out of reach of Li Yan now.
Li Yan's thumb is surrounded by a bunch of keys, which belong to a certain room in the mottled apartment in front of him.
The key was given by the red ghost. It was regarded as a meeting gift for Li Yan, so he didn't have to be crowded in the same room with those low-level boxers. It is only fifteen minutes' walk from Longjin Road where the Nine Dragons Arena is located, which is quite convenient for Li Yan.
Boxers who fight in Dragon City must find a suitable manager for themselves, the so-called Dragon City groom. When and how the boxers will fight are all arranged by the manager. Li Yan's manager in Dragon City before was that fat man with small eyes named Fei Bo. And now, his manager is naturally Red Ghost.
Compared with Fat Boy Bo, who can only dominate in the fourth ring, Hong Gui is a well-known figure in the entire Dragon City ring. He entered the ring under the name of Chen Minhong at the age of thirteen, and became the sixth ring at the age of 21. The ring master, with fierce fists and kicks, and heavy strikes, the reputation of the red ghost was also spread at that time. After retiring, he worked with Tai Sui. He was one of the most important managers around Tai Sui. Even Wu Haoxi, the chairman of the committee, would smile and say hello to A Hong when he saw a red ghost. Fighting with Red Ghost's subordinates, in the eyes of Fat Boy Bo, it was a great event to celebrate by setting off firecrackers and buying roast goose.
And in the eyes of Fat Boy Bo, Li Yan, who had reached the sky by one step, was fumbling for tens of dollars in change in his trouser pocket at the moment, with an ugly expression on his face, without any complacency at all.
"Three hundred Yan Fu points means a full three million Hong Kong dollars, shall I go and rob the bank?"
Although Tapir gave Li Yan three Yanfu incidents to collect the 300 Yanfu points, Li Yan obviously couldn't wait so long. What he wanted was to achieve it in one step, just in the Kowloon Walled City in 1986, within a month, he could earn three million Hong Kong dollars!
"Meow~"
Li Yan looked down and saw an orange kitten pacing back and forth under his feet, bumping his nose against his trouser leg from time to time.
"Amy."
A childish female voice came from the top of the stairs. Li Yan followed the voice and saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl on the top of the stairs. She was wearing a white-washed shirt, barefoot, weak, and looked a little weak. afraid of people.
"Meow~"
When the kitten heard the owner's call, it ran to the girl's side in two or three jumps, purring from its throat.
"I'm sorry, sir, Ami always likes to run around."
Li Yan smiled: "Your cat is very cute."
With that said, he walked into the apartment. Looking for the room number that the red ghost told him.
"Little sister, do you know where Room 413 is?"
The little girl nodded when she heard the words, picked up her cat, and signaled Li Yan to follow her.
After walking for about a minute or two, the little girl stopped. He pointed to the number on the room next to him.
"Here it is."
"Thank you, little sister. Then, brother treats you to candy."
Li Yan took out two milk candies from his pocket and handed them to the little girl. He bought the sugar on Longjin Road to relieve pain.
"Axiu, who are you talking to so late?"
A woman's voice came from the door of the house to which Li Yan's back was facing. It was a bit hoarse, obviously lacking in breath.
"No, Mom, I went downstairs to find Ami."
Seeing the candy in Li Yan's hand, the girl hesitated at first, but when she heard the voice from the room, she hurriedly said goodbye to Li Yan and went back into the room.
Li Yan peeled off the candy wrapper, stuffed a toffee into his mouth, and without thinking too much, took out the key and opened the door of his room.
Opposite the door is a mother and daughter, it is better than Yingying Yanyan who is causing trouble, at least the current Li Yan doesn't want to make troubles.
Although the house is cramped, it is still clean. It's just that the stench coming from the fish egg processing factory behind the apartment is so strong that it can be smelled even if the doors and windows are closed tightly. Li Yan was just looking for a place to stay, so he didn't really care too much about it. He tidied up a little and fell asleep with his head covered
Late at night, in a certain gambling stall.
"Open! It's twelve o'clock."
With the dice stopTurning around, the suit was in a mess, and the middle-aged man with his hairline behind suddenly collapsed on the ground, with a faint smell of alcohol on his body. Some of the people gathered around the gaming table were beaming, while others were gnashing their teeth, but no one looked at him, as if this middle-aged man with an ugly face who seemed to be about to have a heart attack was a pile of rubbish to be swept into the street.
"Come, come, buy it and leave."
Hei Yatai, who was rolling the dice, had disheveled hair, biting half of a cigarette in his blackened teeth, and was yelling with a red face.
"Wait, wait, this makes me young."
The middle-aged man with red eyes screamed in a hoarse voice.
"Take the money, old man."
Hei Yatai swallowed a mouthful of thick phlegm, and shouted at the middle-aged man in a perverse tone. His eyes were vicious, so he could tell that this middle-aged man had lost even half a dime. If at this time he dared to yell something provocative like betting with his fingers, Hei Yatai would have someone drag him behind, strip him naked and throw him into the sea to feed the sharks.
With trembling lips, the middle-aged man took out a flat wooden box from his bosom.
"How much is this worth?"
The wooden box was opened, and inside was a piece of light yellow rice paper with staggered patterns of gilding, depicting a lifelike Kui ox with golden hair visible all over its body, standing on one foot on the ground, sitting up to the sky and screaming. . There are densely packed small characters on the back of the paper.
Without even thinking about it, Hei Yatai even slapped the rice paper in the wooden box on the middle-aged man's face!
"Damn your old mother, bring a box of toilet paper and want to exchange money? Do you want Ming coins? If you don't have money, go away!"
The middle-aged man staggered back from the beating, and two nosebleeds flowed down his lips to the ground. He got up and walked out in embarrassment while muttering.
"I don't know the goods, it's an antique."
He patted the dust off his body and staggered outside, but he didn't expect that walking drunkenly on the cramped streets of Kowloon City would be the most eye-catching
"Bad boy, talking nonsense"
He was still complaining, but he didn't notice a figure sneaking up to him from behind. While he wasn't paying attention, the cement block in his hand hit the back of his head hard!
The middle-aged man fell in response, and the man knelt down and fumbled eagerly in his pockets, but found nothing. Just when he was annoyed, he saw the extraordinary-looking bronzing rice paper in his hand from the corner of the eye. , Without even thinking about it, I snatched it from my hand, looked around, and turned to leave.
At this time, a hand suddenly grabbed his trousers firmly, tripping him to the ground.
The middle-aged man was covered in blood and moaned.
"Save, save me, save"
The man trembled all over, desperately kicking the middle-aged man's chest, trying to let him let go of his hand, but the middle-aged man clenched his hands tightly and refused to let go.
He was panting heavily, angry from the heart, evil to the gut, groped for the blood-stained cement block that had just been thrown on the ground, and raised his hands high. Hit it hard!
"boom!"
Li Yan's palm pierced down and hit his opponent's face, directly causing him to lose consciousness.
"This young man is so sharp, he won five games in a row in one night."
"What the hell is going on, this guy is obviously not at the fourth level, so let him play?"
Hong Gui leaned against the edge of the boxing ring and waved his hand to let Li Yan step down.
"What's the matter? Brother Red Ghost?" Li Yan asked half-jokingly.
The red ghost gave a wry smile.
"If you continue to fight like this, the idiot will know no brains to fight with you. You will make me lose money in the boxing ring. Come with me. You will go to the big venue for the last fight today."
"Ok. Where to?"
The red ghost threw the cigarette butt to the ground.
