To Roque's surprise, Kunale did not go to work these days. The reason was the same as Roque: he was injured in an attack.
This made Rock even more angry. As soon as the rioters started taking action, Kunal ran away in a hurry. What kind of injuries did he suffer? Could it be that he sprained his foot while running away?
You can't run away if you don't go to work. Rock knows where Kunale lives. Kunale is not from Cape Town. Like Rock and other Chinese police officers, Kunale lives in a dormitory provided by the police station. Most of the time
, Rock and other foreign policemen stay in the dormitory when they are not at work. Although Cape Town is a big city, Rock and other foreign policemen only have a meager salary, so they do not belong to this city.
Since it is a collective dormitory, of course, don't expect the conditions to be very good. The dormitory provided by the police station for Rock and the others was the former barracks of the colonial army. Now that the army is fighting in Ladysmith, it has become a collective dormitory.
In fact, the conditions are not bad. The military camp is right next to the port. Outside the gate is the boundless Atlantic Ocean. You can see the famous Table Mountain in the distance. It can be regarded as being surrounded by mountains and rivers. However, Rock is not in the mood to appreciate these. He casually talks to the guards at the door.
Say hello and go directly back to the dormitory to find Kunal.
Yes, Kunale and Roque share a dormitory. It may be because the Chinese policemen’s English is not good enough. The Cape Town Police Department assigns every Chinese policeman an Indian partner as a standard. This idea is good, but for
It is not fair to the Chinese police, because most of the Chinese police do not know the relationship between India and the United Kingdom. Including the former Rock, they all believed that India and the United Kingdom are the same country. Therefore, in front of their Indian partners, the Chinese police are naturally
Just one head shorter, the result is that almost all the dirty work is done by Chinese policemen, while Indian policemen are almost as laid-back as white officers in the police station.
From a distance, Rock heard a loud noise in his dormitory. No need to ask, it was Kunal who was partying with his compatriots. Although the salary of foreign policemen is meager, as a policeman, there must be some shameful gray income.
, coupled with the "romantic nature" of Indians, Kunal would have gatherings with his compatriots in the dormitory every now and then, which annoyed the former Rock.
"Bang"
Rock was not polite and kicked open the door of the dormitory. The noisy room immediately became silent.
After a long while, Kunal finally squeezed out of the crowd and looked at Roque with a surprised look on his face.
"Luo, are you feeling well? I also said that I would go see you in the next two days. It's great to see you." Kunaler didn't feel any guilt at all. He looked at Roque with a surprised look on his face and opened his hands.
Give Rock a hug.
Rock was not polite and punched Kunale's fat, fake face hard.
"puff"
Rock didn't control the power of this punch. The sound of the punch hitting the flesh startled Rock. Kunal felt as if he was hit by a running hippopotamus. His head instantly fell back and his body spun around in the air.
, fell to the ground without saying a word, and was knocked unconscious by Rock's punch.
"Kunale——"
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Are you crazy?"
The Indian policemen in the room were in an uproar, they were shocked and angry, but they could clearly feel Roque's anger, or they were shocked by Kunal's tragic situation, so they just verbally condemned Roque and said
No further action was taken.
"Shut up, you all know what Kunal did when we were attacked. Now take your things and leave my room, immediately." Roque is not polite. At this time, a Chinese policeman who was on duty was alerted.
They automatically gathered behind Rock. If they really wanted to fight, Rock wouldn't be embarrassed.
Of course everyone knows what Kunal did. No matter what group you are in, it is a dishonorable act to abandon your companions and run away when encountering danger. If everyone does not say anything, then everyone will treat Kunal.
With contempt in his heart, now Rock has directly betrayed him, and those Indian policemen have no shame to stand up for Kunal.
Of course, as a compatriot, someone quickly checked Kunal's vital signs and confirmed that Kunal was not punched to death by Roque. Then he carried Kunal to his bed, and then the Indian policemen quickly left.
People are willing to stay and bear Rock's wrath.
Rock is no longer angry now. The punch just now has vented most of Rock's anger. The remaining anger will be used to deal with Kunal in the future.
"Thank you, brothers. I will pay for it later and we will all get together in the evening." Rock hugged and bowed to the Chinese patrol policemen beside him. They used to be comrades in arms and are now colleagues. Their relationship is obviously deeper than that of Kunal and his compatriots.
.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." The one who was polite was patrolman Anton. Anton's previous military rank in Huayong Camp was also a corporal. When he came to South Africa, Anton, like Roque, had to start from scratch.
"Don't dare, don't dare." The person who returned the greeting was patrolman Luo Yi. Before he joined the Huayong Camp, he was a gangster in the Tianjin Guard. He accidentally killed someone in a busy city and had to join the army.
"It's time for brothers to help Mr. Luo. Mr. Luo will be blessed if he survives the disaster." The person who gave him face must be Li De. When he was in Huayong camp, Li De was Luo Ke's subordinate. When he came to Cape Town, Luo
Although Ke and Li De no longer have a subordinate relationship, Li De still respects Luo Ke and considers himself his younger brother.
If you don't have contact with Indians, you probably won't understand how hardworking Indians are. Rock and his friends sometimes have dinner together, but they always do so on the premise of not affecting other people. Indians don't have this consciousness, and they never consider that
It will not affect other people, and he likes to eat some food with strange taste, so although the Indian police left, the smell in the room is still disgusting. Anton and Li De wanted to help Rock clean up the room, but they were stopped by Rock.
Ke refused. Rock just opened the window for ventilation, then moved a chair and sat in front of the door to wait for Kunal to wake up. It was Kunal's job to clean up the room.
In fact, if you ignore Kunale as your roommate, Rock's dormitory is still very good. It is a room of about 20 square meters, with two large windows facing each other, the window frames are inlaid with glass, and the living facilities in the room are doubled.
It includes beds, tables, cabinets, washbasins, kettles, etc. In the past, a squad of colonial soldiers would have been accommodated in such a room, but now only two people, Roque and Kunale, could live in it. It was quite spacious.
Of course, the good here is only relative to the conditions. Having an Indian roommate can create a garbage dump for you even if you live in the palace. During this time, Rock was in the hospital. It seemed that Kunal had completely let himself go. The two of them
The table was full of clutter, Rock's bed was full of dirty clothes, and there was even a pile of vomit in the corner under the table. Rock couldn't imagine how Kunal could be content in such an environment.
