Chapter 92 Cuiyuan Building
"Axing, you can drink the soda yourself. I'm not thirsty yet." Although Shen Long likes Master Xing's movies, he doesn't want to drink the rest of his soda.
"Why isn't Third Uncle here? Why don't we go find him directly? I have the address here." Ah Xing took out a piece of paper from his pocket and wrote on it the address of Third Uncle's residence: 85 Dundas Street, Mong Kok, Kowloon. No. 2 of Cuiyuan Building...the floor number and room number at the back were soaked with sweat and could no longer be seen clearly. "Oh, it's wet, but it doesn't matter. We can just wait until we go to the place to ask."
"Then let's go." Shen Long knew that his third uncle was playing mahjong at home and was very excited. He played two hundred rounds for three days and three nights without rest. There was no need to expect him to come to pick up Ah Xing.
Shen Long took a look and found a minibus leading to Dundas Street. He took Ah Xing on the bus and headed to his third uncle's house. In the car, they both curiously looked at the surrounding environment through the window.
Ah Xing's eyes are full of envy. Although he is still in Kowloon and has not been to the more prosperous main island, the surrounding buildings are much better than those in Guangzhou now.
Shen Long was different. He was more curious about looking for the buildings that often appeared in old Hong Kong movies on both sides of the street; Mong Kok was called Miscanthus in ancient times because the local miscanthus was thick with grass and the terrain resembled a horn. Stretching into the sea, the place is called Mong Kok Tsui, and the nearby village is named Mong Kok Village.
In 1909, the British Hong Kong government began to develop Mong Kok. In 1930, it was renamed Mong Kok, which means prosperity. At first, Mong Kok was an industrial area with many cigarette factories, cotton spinning mills and hardware factories. With the opening up of mainland policies, companies here gradually Signing to Shenzhen, where land prices and labor are cheaper, has gradually turned into a shopping area and residential area.
With an average of 130,000 people per square kilometer, Mong Kok has the highest population density in the world. A mixture of dragons, snakes, and sensual dogs and horses make up the day and night of this place full of human fireworks. Many of the lower-income people in Hong Kong live in small high-rise buildings in Mong Kok.
Before entering this world, Shen Long also specifically checked Cuiyuan Building and found that this place really existed in the real world. He also saw that someone had posted rental information, a house with three bedrooms, one living room and two bathrooms, and one of the bedrooms was rented out. The bedroom area is only 120 feet, which is about 11 square meters, and it costs 19,000 Hong Kong dollars a month.
According to this calculation, this three-bedroom house is estimated to be only about 70 square meters, which shows the tight living environment of Xiangjiang people.
When they arrived at Dundas Street, the two got off the car and found the second phase of the Cuiyuan Building at No. 85. Shen Long saw that there were tall buildings on both sides of the street, blocking the sunlight. The buildings here were one after another, and even They are connected to each other, so even sunlight has become a luxury for the residents inside.
It feels like the urban village where I first lived when I was working, except that the buildings here are higher than those in the urban village. When seeing this kind of place, Shen Long felt uncomfortable all over. It was really too depressing.
"It's already seven o'clock, don't people here have to get up to work?" Ah Xing muttered, looking at the security door of Cuiyuan Building, wondering how to get in.
It happened that at this time, a gay man was talking to his boyfriend who lived upstairs. The boyfriend forced him to say "I love you" ten times before opening the door. Xing was stunned for a moment, thinking "I love you" Just like "Open Sesame", it is a code. As long as this code is reported, the security door will open.
"That's not what happened. It was a conversation with the resident upstairs. The resident would open the door for him." Shen Long quickly stopped him and shouted "I love you" into the intercom system. It was really stupid.
"So that's it. Xiangjiang is really advanced. But how do you know, Aaron? You've never been to Xiangjiang?" Ah Xing suddenly realized.
"I've seen it in movies." Shen Long made an excuse.
"Then what should we do now? I'm shouting from downstairs. Third uncle should be able to hear me, right?" Ah Xing put down the box and came to the street. He looked up at Cuiyuan Building with his hands on his hips and was about to shout loudly.
"It's so early, it will wake people up for rest!" Shen Long stopped him again. It's not that Ah Xing is uncivilized, it's just that the growing environment is different. In Guangzhou, people are acquaintances from the same work unit and live together. , everyone has similar work and rest schedules, and you can just shout if something happens, but this is not the case in Xiangjiang. Ah Xing has not adapted yet.
"Then what should we do? Should we just sit here and wait for the third uncle to come down?" Asing sat on the box and happened to see the news of the Shenjing Massacre in the newspaper at the newsstand next to him, "Wow, a whole family was raped and killed in one night. Seven mouths, so cruel?"
Ah Xing thought about it and came up with an idea, "Hey, Aaron, why don't we tell the police that my third uncle was the murderer of the Shen Jing Massacre? I have a photo of my third uncle here, so the police should help us find my third uncle's home." Bar?"
What grudge does the third uncle have against you? What kind of grudge do you have against him? You treated him like this? Shen Long couldn't laugh or cry, "Axing, even in Guangzhou, you will be punished if you file a false police report, right? Be careful that the police find out that you reported a false police report. The police will put you in jail!"
Waiting here all the time is not an option. Shen Long made a suggestion, "Didn't you say that your third uncle likes gambling? I guess he forgot to pick you up while playing mahjong. After a while, when we saw someone coming in, we followed him in." , and then take photos from floor to floor. If you hear the sound of mahjong in that house, just knock on the door and go in and ask!"
"Hey, this is a good idea, but did I say that my third uncle likes gambling?" Axing was a little confused. He didn't seem to have told Shen Long this.
"You must have forgotten! You heard me right. Hey, someone just opened the door. Let's go in quickly!" Shen Long quickly got up and followed in, helping to block the door and let Ah Xing come in.
"It should be either the first floor or the seventh floor. Let's go to the first floor and have a look first!" Ah Xing took out the piece of paper with blurred writing and read it for a long time.
Walking from one end of the first floor to the other, I heard people making breakfast, beating children, and having sex, but there was no one playing mahjong. In the small courtyard, when I looked up, I could only see the size of a palm. A piece of sky, and this sky is still occupied and blocked by the racks people put out to dry clothes.
They took the elevator up to the seventh floor and continued to search. This time they didn't go far when they heard the sound of mahjong coming from the room in front. Shen Long looked at the layout on both sides of the corridor. He seemed to have seen it in a movie. This should be it. Uncle Asing's house.
Uncle Da's familiar laughter came from the room, and Axing also recognized it, "This is my third uncle's voice. Aaron, you are so smart."
After saying that, without waiting for Shen Long to respond, he rushed to the door of the room and shouted, "Uncle Third, I am Axing, and I am here to find you!"
