At this time, the bun seller helped Lu Xiaobei pick up the pile of grapefruit peels and said to the crazy old man: "Mr.
left.
After going out, Lu Xiaobei complained to the old man selling steamed buns: "This man is so talkative that he doesn't look like a doctor, but more like a fortune teller."
The uncle selling buns smiled and said: "In Chinese traditional medicine, Feng Shui and facial recognition are included. However, with the development of society, people's worldview and values have fundamentally changed. Things that are straightforward and obvious can
Accepted by people, these illusory things are regarded as fraud by people. In fact, the old man just now is the real master of the world. In the past, a wealthy businessman from Hong Kong came to him specifically, begging him to give him guidance, and presented a hundred
Ten thousand pounds, just to let Mr. Xie tell him in which direction the construction of the newly developed community should be started, but our Mr. Xie did not take a penny. He just told the developer that he would not make any profit from starting the construction this time, and
He would be miserable because his wealth could only go so far. If he tried to force it, his numerology would not be able to bear it. As a result, within a month, the businessman's project was stranded and his company announced that
Bankruptcy."
"After all, he is still a fortune teller."
"He can also treat illnesses and save lives, and the prescriptions he uses are different from those in hospitals. Our traditional Chinese medicine focuses on looking at the condition from the fundamentals, rather than knowing the symptoms and then prescribing medicine according to the symptoms like Western medicine. Mr. Xie adheres to the traditional Chinese medicine
Traditionally, when you get sick, he will understand the causes and consequences based on how you contracted the disease. Only after he has figured out the causes and consequences, will he prescribe medicine for you. Moreover, most of the medicines he prescribes are said to be incomprehensible to people, but they are absolutely
What is guaranteed is that the medicine will cure the disease. Maybe you don’t believe what I say now, nor how good Mr. Xie’s medical skills are, but when I got back, I put a grapefruit peel on Xiao Zi’s forehead, and within half an hour, I was healed.
You have to believe this old man. He has a nickname in our slums, do you know what it is?"
"I don't know." Lu Xiaobei shook his head and said.
"Living god." As he said this, the bun seller couldn't help but smile.
Although the prescription given by the living god was not a good thing, after the grapefruit peel was stained with saliva and placed on Xiao Zi's forehead, Xiao Zi actually woke up within half an hour.
Lu Xiaobei was shocked when he saw Xiaozi's condition suddenly improved. Could it be that this old man was really a living god? A broken grapefruit peel could bring down a high fever. From now on, this hospital would no longer need to sell antipyretics.
Just use the whole grapefruit peel, and the medical expenses can be effectively reduced.
The old man is not a living god. Like in our country now, when a child in the countryside has some symptoms, the first thing he seeks is not the hospital, but the highly respected and experienced masters in some villages. If he encounters a "collision", what should he do?
There are things like "ghosts punching the wall", "lost souls", etc. These are all things that are still believed in rural areas. These may seem very superstitious, but more and more real experiences make us have to be superstitious.
The so-called science has put a big question mark in front of these unanswerable foods. We don’t need to explore this issue and continue to get back to business.
After Xiao Zi recovered, Lu Xiaobei felt relieved and let Kang Piaopiao and Xiao Zi rest at home. He had to go out quickly to find a place to live. He still had 20,000 pounds in his hand, which was a lot of money.
Only when you can find a place to settle down can you have a foundation for your life, and then think about the issue of survival in the future.
Although the entire civilian area is not big, with only three or four streets, it has a large population, coming from all over the country. Many faces are very strange to Lu Xiaobei, so even though he has lived here for a month, he still has
It still feels strange.
The decadent walls are covered with small advertisements, all written in traditional Chinese. Some are advertisements for hospitals that treat various internal diseases, and some are advertisements for recruitment of public relations by a certain company. To put it bluntly, they are recruiting young ladies. Some advertisements are for recruitment.
The wages given to laborers on the job site are very low, similar to those of laborers on the construction site.
Among the many small advertisements, Lu Xiaobei finally found an advertisement for a house for rent. There were various styles of houses and the prices were very reasonable. However, Lu Xiaobei knew at a glance that it was an intermediary company and there was a lot of moisture in it.
But this agency was the only way for him to find his residence. After writing down the address, Lu Xiaobei followed the map and found the company.
There is a small storefront with a red signboard that reads: Guangfa Real Estate. The name is quite loud, but it is actually a small intermediary company that cannot be smaller.
As soon as Lu Xiaobei walked in, there was a man at the counter reading a newspaper, which was densely packed with traditional Chinese characters and contained some information about the house.
"Sir, are you the boss here?" Lu Xiaobei asked politely. Although he is an agency, he is still begging others to do things. He must keep his tail between his legs and not be too arrogant.
Lu Xiaobei is not arrogant, but the speaking instructor of this agency is quite aggressive. As soon as he saw Lu Xiaobei's appearance and dress, he knew that he came here illegally. Most of the people who come to him to find a house are illegal immigrants.
You can make more money from these stowaways.
"Looking for a house?" the man at the counter said casually.
"Yes, there are three of us living here. We want to find a place with a cheaper price, preferably one that pays monthly."
"Do you have an ID card?" the man asked knowingly. If he had a legal Hong Kong ID card and residence permit, who would come here to look for a house?
Lu Xiaobei shook his head and said, "No."
"Do you have a residence permit?" Jin Ji asked again.
Lu Xiaobei shook his head helplessly and said, "None of the three of us have it."
"They all came here smuggled in."
"Yes, we need housing." Lu Xiaobei was a little impatient. He felt that this person talked too much and asked too many questions.
"I came here smuggled in. I can't find a good place for you to live. I can only find you a place here. If there are three of you, I will find you a two-bedroom apartment with a bathroom. I will even pay for the water and electricity bills."
Go up, five thousand a month.”
"Five thousand? Are you talking about five thousand pounds or RMB?" Lu Xiaobei asked in shock.
"Of course it's pounds. In the territory of the British, don't talk about RMB." When this man spoke, there was a look of contempt on his face. He not only despised Lu Xiaobei, he even looked down on China as a whole. A yellow man
People with dark skin, dark hair, and dark eyes actually look down on their own compatriots. Such people really shouldn't live in this world.
Lu Xiaobei got a little emotional and said: "Five thousand pounds, the price is too high, find a cheaper one."
"To tell you the truth, this is the cheapest. You have to know that our living standard in Hong Kong is much better than that in mainland China. Water and electricity bills are a huge expense. We have covered them for you, and you still have to follow up.
Should I negotiate the price? I can't give you a single profit on this. If you want to rent it, rent it. If you don't want to rent it, please leave. We don't negotiate the price." The man said very forcefully.
Lu Xiaobei turned around and was about to leave. The real estate man said again: "I really don't want to rent, why don't I find you a cheaper one, a room for half the price? What do you think? Are you looking for a house in Hong Kong?"
It's easy. If you miss this village, there won't be this shop." The man in the agency has a very clear mind. People who come to him to look for a house now don't even have a place to stay. The mainland stowaways who just came here not long ago can take advantage of this.
Because they didn't understand the market here, they tried their best to kill him. The price he was living in was almost ten times the house price of this generation.
This is a slum, and the consumption level in Hong Kong is very different. Therefore, the housing prices here are basically the same as the rental prices in Shenzhen and Zhuhai. However, this real estate agency is rare, and the housing prices charged are higher than the general housing prices in Hong Kong.
This is the kind of dirty money he makes.
Lu Xiaobei didn't even look back. He really couldn't accept the price. Five thousand pounds a month. According to the exchange rate between pounds and renminbi, it was 1:13 at the time. With this money, in rural areas in northern China, he could build a house worth 200 pounds.
Square meter bungalow.
"I won't rent it anymore. I'll look at other homes."
"There is no other agency. The only agency is mine. If you don't find me, you will have no choice but to sleep on the street."
"I won't look for you even if you sleep on the street!" Lu Xiaobei said angrily.
"Mainland boys are all beggars. Why come to Hong Kong if you don't have money? Go back to your mainland as soon as possible. We don't welcome you in Hong Kong!"
Lu Xiaobei just wanted to turn around and go back and beat up the real estate agent, but he held back. He was now training his mind. A person who wants to do great things must resist his impulse. He cannot explode on his own if someone gets angry.
Well, such a person is just a reckless person and cannot become a big person. The reason why I have gotten to this point is because I was too impulsive and too loyal in the past.
Lu Xiaobei, who couldn't find a house, lit a cigarette and sat in the shade on the corner of the street, smoking. This was his last cigarette, and when it was over, it was gone. Lu Xiaobei looked at this
In the neighborhood, people come and go, and there are houses everywhere, but there is no place for oneself. A penny makes the hero poor. How can Lu Xiaobei, a strange hero, survive in Hong Kong, this prosperous society?
Now that he doesn't even have a house, is there any other way to face his future?
Just when Lu Xiaobei was hesitating, a car stopped in front of him. It was a Toyota. Lu Xiaobei knew this car and naturally knew who was driving it. The person in the car was Huang Yaru. How did he
None of us know how Lu Xiaobei was found, but what is clear is that Huang Yaru came to him because there must be something wrong.
Huang Yaru stood in front of Lu Xiaobei, with an apology on her face, and said: "Lu Xiaobei, I'm sorry, I will take you home..."
