In the early morning, the Pig Cage Walled City gradually came to life.
After a good night's sleep, He Xie pushed open the door and walked out, and the noisy sound suddenly hit him.
"Morning, Captain He."
"Officer Ning He, a dog's cat."
Passers-by and neighbors on both sides greeted He Xie, and He Xie responded with a smile and nod.
A Gui opened the shop this morning. When he saw He Xie, he was still hunched over and said hello to He Xie with an apologetic smile, but his face was slightly pale.
At the rice store opposite, Coolie Qiang was unloading goods at the door. The store owner was still teasing him: "Coolie Qiang, did you go to Xianles last night to find a girl? You usually carry five bags at a time, why can't you carry three bags today?"
Coolie Qiang was a little unhappy and said in a dull voice: "That's better than you."
"Hey, you're a street bastard, you're so powerful, aren't you? You use your strength, and I play with your brains, so I'm the shopkeeper, and you're just a big baggage, throw it away!"
"Oh my landlord, why are you like this!"
Buck-toothed Zhen ran out of Ah Sheng's tailor shop with a cry, and the charterer chased her out with a bottle of wine. He smiled and waved: "Hey, Zhen, don't leave. Zhen, hey, let's talk for a while."
Son!"
There is obviously a lipstick mark on his face.
"Um?"
He Xie's eyes lit up and he looked at the location of the water pipe in the courtyard.
Shirtless and with his shorts down to the crooks of his legs, Chanbako was squatting under the faucet to take a shower.
This is where the plot is about to begin.
He Xie smiled.
Sure enough, the water stopped soon. He stood up with his head full of foam, picked up his pants, looked up to the third floor, and shouted with a blank stare: "Housewife! Charterhouse!"
boom!
The window on the third floor opened, and the charterer looked down with an unhappy face.
Jiangbao spread his hands: "Why is there suddenly no water?"
boom!
The tenant woman closed the window again.
The sound of footsteps like a gust of wind came from the stairwell, and after a while, the charterer appeared at the top of the stairs.
She had a sneer on her face, a cigarette in her mouth, and shouted as she walked this way: "You don't have to pay for water? You bastards! You don't pay the rent this month, and you talk so much nonsense!"
Jiang Bao lowered his head, not daring to look at the housekeeper, but he still managed to argue: "But halfway through washing my hair, you closed the water gate."
"I'm not just shutting it down now, but starting from tomorrow, the water will be cut off on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and intermittently on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. How about that?" the charterer said disdainfully, "What are you doing with evil eyebrows and crooked eyes, and howling ghosts and wolves? Are you looking for death? I see.
You are all tired of living!"
"It's a dog's fault, my landlord." Agui smiled apologetically and bowed to the tenant who walked up to him.
"Oh, what a bastard! If you don't pay the rent today, I will burn down your shop!" the tenant woman scolded fiercely.
The ghost hurriedly waved his hands to apologize.
The charterer sneered and turned her head, and saw Ah Sheng standing there like a quail, watching her smile.
"Laughing? Why are you laughing? If you laugh, you don't have to pay rent?" The landlady stared at him, "Old py!"
"Hey!" Ah Sheng covered his face and ran back to the tailor shop.
The charterer turned around, and just in time the coolie passed by him carrying three bags of rice.
"Hmph!" the charterer sneered, "Even a sick person has to work, and you deserve to be a hard laborer for the rest of your life! You owe me three months' rent, and you didn't even say hello when I met you in the morning. You are so exhausted, you bastard!"
Coolie buried his head and walked by without saying a word.
The charterer scolded her, and her unhappiness was relieved a little. She was about to go upstairs when she turned around and saw Jiang Bao still standing there blankly. She immediately stepped forward and slapped her to the ground.
"Don't think I won't hit you because you're handsome!" The charterer then snorted with satisfaction and turned around to leave.
As soon as the charterer left, the people in the yard immediately dispersed.
He Xie chuckled and looked up at the public bathroom on the second floor. The renter there was looking in furtively. He shook his head and looked at A Gui: "A Gui, it's the same as before."
"Okay, Officer He, please come in and sit down for a while. You'll be ready soon." Agui responded with a hasty smile.
"Captain He, your dress is ready, do you want to try it on first?" Ah Sheng smiled and called He Xie, "I put a lot of thought into it, and it is very beautiful. It has a high artistic quality.
"
"How high?" He Xie said with a smile.
"It's as high as the third or fourth floor." Ah Sheng covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Captain He," Jiang Bao suddenly shouted, "can I use your water to wash my hair?"
When He Xie came here, he bought a large water tank to store water at home, so he never had to line up to get water every morning.
He Xie waved his hand: "Go and pick it up yourself, don't dirty the water in the tank."
Jiangbao immediately smiled happily: "Don't worry, Captain He, I am a very careful person!"
Just when He Xie was trying on clothes, there was a lot of excitement on the third floor. The landlord was thrown out of the window by the landlord. He fell heavily to the ground and lay motionless not far from the water pipe in a large shape.
"Oh, are you giving up your life?" Ah Sheng clicked his tongue, lying at the door and looking over there, "Oh, women must be gentle to be lovable, don't you think that's right, Captain He?"
He Xie looked in the mirror and turned around. He was very satisfied with his new clothes and casually replied: "No matter how gentle you are, you will never be lovable."
"Oh!" Ah Sheng stamped his feet, shyly, "I'm a big man."
"Haha." He Xie smiled and walked out the door.
"Officer He, I'm ready and waiting for you to come!" Agui greeted with a smile.
After He Xie finished his breakfast, he moved a chair and sat at the door to bask in the sun. The charterer was still lying there. He seemed to be asleep and snoring. This man also had a big heart and had lost so much blood.
Two people walked in from the gate, one fat and one thin, both with cold expressions. They both wore bowler hats and coats draped casually on their bodies. They walked with a pace that was quite unrecognizable to their relatives.
He Xie looked at these two people with a half-smile but not a smile, watching them pass in front of him.
When the two of them looked at themselves, their movements were obviously much stiffer, and the fat boy even walked smoothly for a while.
"Xingzi, you have black skin!"
"What are you afraid of? He's a boy scout. Look at him. He looks weak. He looks like he's smoked too many cigarettes. He deserves to be working in this poor place. Hold on tight, brother, don't tremble, okay?"
"Xingzai, I want to pee."
"Damn! Let's get down to business first, and I'll let you blame that Boy Scout later! Huh? Barbershop? You see how silly this guy is, it's him!"
The two of them muttered and turned into Jiang Bao's barber shop.
They thought their voices were so low that He Xie couldn't hear them, but in fact, it was no different than speaking in He Xie's ears.
He Xie picked up the teapot, blew out the foam, and took a sip.
Ten minutes later, Jiangbao's barber shop suddenly heard Jiangbao's voice deliberately speaking loudly: "Oh, so you are blackmailing me!"
This sound immediately attracted the attention of many people, and everyone looked over there.
