Chapter 1 Hua Village
Chapter 1
Huacun
Hong Kong Island is a prosperous international metropolis. The history of Hong Kong Island can be traced back to the Neolithic Age five thousand years ago. Please remember that after Qin Shihuang unified China, he established three counties in the south, including Nanhai, Guilin and Xiangjun. Hong Kong Island belongs to Panyu County, Nanhai County. From then on, Hong Kong Island was under the jurisdiction of China and has been within the territory of China for thousands of years.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the ** of the time made Hong Kong Island fall into the hands of the British and become a British colony. This shame lasted for 155 years. It was only a few years ago that China officially regained Hong Kong Island and regained the administrative power of Hong Kong Island.
Hong Kong Island is an excellent deep-water port and was once known as one of the three major natural seaports in the world. In his early years, the British saw that Victoria Port in Hong Kong had the potential to become an excellent port in East Asia. They did not hesitate to use the Opium War to seize this place from the Qing government in order to develop its maritime trade in the Far East, thus opening up the history of Hong Kong becoming a colony.
In the past, Hong Kong Island was just a small fishing village, but during the two wars, Hong Kong Island began to flourish and develop, becoming the world's third largest financial center after New York and London. It not only became one of the "Four Asian Little Dragons", but also one of the richest, most developed and highest living standards in the world.
Of course, although Hong Kong Island is prosperous, the gap between the rich and the poor is very serious. Some top rich people are definitely internationally famous. Just like Sheng Jiahui, who went to Jianghuai that time, was the third top rich man in Hong Kong Island, with a net worth of over 10 billion yuan. However, at the same time, the poor people in Hong Kong Island are pitifully miserable.
A few years ago, an American magazine published a survey, which showed that the gap between the rich and the poor in Hong Kong was surprisingly ranked first in the world.
While Hong Kong Island has a large number of wealthy people, more than half of the people live in poor public housing villages. The report shows that the income of the richest 100% of the population in Hong Kong Island is 18 times that of the poorest 100% of the population.
The poorest residential areas of Hong Kong Island are often some of the most isolated areas of Hong Kong Island. They are located in a dead end far away from Hong Kong's famous business districts and shopping districts.
The small village where Wang Zhi is located is a small village near the Beigu District on the coast of the north side of Hong Kong Island. Although the village is not a slum, it is not much stronger.
Decades ago, this place was where many smugglers came ashore, so this place was quite chaotic. There were mixed fish and dragons. Of course, with the return of Hong Kong Island in recent years, smuggling has not been as rampant as before, and the current situation has improved slightly.
However, Hong Kong Island's gangs have been around for a long time and cannot be suppressed in the short term. In addition, in order to respect Hong Kong Island and implement autonomy, although Hong Kong Island has returned, it has not improved much in terms of policies.
There are still many gangsters in this small place where Wang Zhi is located, and they usually occupy the docks. Even the coolies who carry goods and make money have to pay protection fees like them.
Even young people are like this, let alone the elderly. Over the years, the source of life for the elderly has been to take the opportunity to go out to pick up rags. Taking advantage of the lack of people, fishing has passed for decades.
Of course, although the people in this area are poor, they are very kind, and the local gangsters and others do not bully the local villagers very much. As long as those who work pay the protection fee, they will be safe and safe.
The old man is kind-hearted and is very popular in this small village. Many villagers will ask questions when they see the old man. When the old man is in trouble, the neighbors around him will also help him.
That afternoon, Huacun suddenly came and drove in several cars. Of course, although Huacun is poor, there are usually no cars coming in. However, these cars are not ordinary vehicles, all of them are military vehicles.
"Brother Wuhua, four military vehicles came to the entrance of the village, and the license plates were all very awesome. Do you see if there was a big man?" A Hua Villager saw this scene and hurried to a house and shouted at a man playing mahjong inside.
"Four military vehicles came?" The man was shocked when he heard this, and pushed away the mahjong in front of him and said, "Let's go and have a look." This part is his Wuhua, so he naturally has to go there when the big man comes.
"Hey! Brother Wuhua, what a beautiful girl." As soon as the few people walked to the entrance of the village, they saw a group of people slowly walking out of the car. The girls in front were all beautiful, and they could see Wuhua and the young people around him swallowing their saliva.
"Be honest. These women are not simple." Wuhua is the boss of this area after all, so he quickly reacted, reminded the younger brother beside him, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
"A few of you came from other places, right?" Wuhua asked in standard Mandarin.
"Yes, may I ask, is this Huacun?" Shui Yumeng asked. This group of people was a group of people from Qi Changguo who had just arrived in Hong Kong not long ago. They were on military planes, and the landing location was naturally close to a Hong Kong Island Military Region in the Beigu District.
Hong Kong Island has now returned to China. The military chief stationed in Hong Kong Island is also the former subordinate of Shui Lao Lao. When he saw Shui Yuxiang and Shui Yu Meng, he was naturally very enthusiastic. He originally planned to keep a few people for dinner at night, but Shui Yu Meng and the girls were anxious, so how could they still be kept? The chief also knew that Shui Yu Meng and the others had something to do when they came to Hong Kong, so he didn't force him to stay. He arranged a few cars for Shui Yu Meng and the others to use for the time being.
"This is Huacun. Are you looking for someone or something?"
Wuhua asked hurriedly with a smile. After saying that, he saw Shui Yumeng's puzzled eyes, and hurriedly explained:
"I am a villager in this area and I am very familiar with this area. Whether you are looking for someone or have something to do, I can help."
There is actually a reason why Wuhua is so enthusiastic. Although the wharf at the entrance of the village north of Huacun is small, no one usually ships from this part. Once someone ships the goods, all his subordinates will have work to do.
Now it is not as strict as before. The government has managed it tighter, so they can't collect protection fees and other things too much. Therefore, it is also a way to survive when working as a handyman and recruiting some work.
"We are here to find someone. I heard that there is an old man named Hua Si here. Do you know where his home lives?" Shui Yuxiang asked. He had seen more worlds than Shui Yumeng and others. He also learned about Hong Kong Island and often hang out in society. Naturally, he guessed the origin of this man.
"Are you looking for Uncle Hua?" Tingnian asked in surprise.
Hua Si naturally knew that although he was only 65 or 6 years old, he was one of the older people in Hua Village. Many of Wuhua's brothers were villagers in Hua Village. Therefore, he was polite to Hua Si, the old man, and he called Uncle Hua when he was common.
However, he knew that Hua Si was a mainland boy who had fled to Hong Kong Island before. Later, his parents died. An old man lived alone in Hua Village for decades. He only picked up a little girl and adopted her more than ten years ago. He had no relatives.
"Are these people Xiao Jie'er's parents?" Wuhua speculated randomly.
"What, don't you know?" Shui Yumeng asked urgently. The address Wang Zhi told Lin Xueyan should be here. When she thought she could see Wang Zhi immediately, she couldn't wait in her heart.
"Yes, yes, come with me." Wuhua said with a smile. Although these people were not here to ship the goods, they must have a great background when they look at the clothes and the cars they are riding in, so he naturally leads the way.
Hua Village is not big, with only a hundred or so families. Huasi's home is in a small alley inside, so a few people arrived at Huasi's doorstep after walking for a few minutes.
"Xiao Jie'er, is your grandfather here?" Wuhua walked to the door, and Jie'er was fiddling with a few small flower seedlings planted in the yard.
"Brother Wuhua."
Jie'er glanced at the person coming and shouted to the house, "Grandpa, Brother Wuhua is looking for you." Jie'er has been cute since she was a child and has a sweet mouth. Wuhua used to make Jie'er happy, so Jie'er has a good impression of Wuhua, and she didn't know that he, the brother Wuhua, is actually not a good person.
"It's Wuhua, what's the matter with me?" The old man was in the room this afternoon. He heard Wuhua's voice just now, so as soon as Jie'er finished speaking, the old man walked out of it.
"Haha, Uncle Hua, I'm not looking for you, these guests are looking for you?" Wuhua smiled and gave way to Shui Yumeng and the others behind him.
"Are you Wang Zhi's relatives?" The old man was also a little surprised to see the group of people behind Wuhua. He had been chatting with Wang Zhi in the house and also learned about Wang Zhi's mainlanders. Therefore, he kept asking Wang Zhi about the situation in the mainland for so many years. He never thought that Wang Zhi's friends had been found not long after. Moreover, it seemed that the people's clothes and dress were from wealthy families. It seemed that Wang Zhi's origin was not simple, and the old man sighed.
"Yes, we are Wang Zhi's relatives and friends. Is he here with you?" Shui Yumeng asked hurriedly.
"He is lying in the room now, and his body cannot move yet. Come in." The old man smiled.
"Ah! I can't move my whole body!" Shui Yumeng and the girls all exclaimed when they heard this, hurriedly ran into the house, cursing in their hearts. Didn't he say that it was nothing serious when he called Lin Xueyan at that time?
Shui Yumeng and others ran in front, Qi Changguo and Shui Yuxiang followed and walked in. Wuhua, who was standing next to him, was shocked to see this scene. These people turned out to be the relatives of the boy.
He is a local snake of this generation, so he naturally knew that Hua Si had taken in a coma for a while. In fact, to be precise, they were lifted off the boat at that time.
At that time, the cargo ship was docked, unloading goods at the small dock in Huacun, but the unloading was a group of young people under Wuhua. When they found Wang Zhi, who was unconscious near the cargo warehouse behind, went to Wuhua to ask for instructions.
Wuhua has been in this area for many years and this is the first time he has seen this situation. He went to see it in person. He saw Wang Zhi unconscious and his life and death are unknown, so he didn't dare to care too much. Although they often fought and killed, they had never done this murder. After all, it was just that, so they were afraid of causing trouble. Therefore, they were fortunate to let his young men throw Wang Zhi aside.
As for the fact that Mr. Hua Si got Wang Zhi back later, he also heard about it, but he no longer cared about it. He never thought that this young man he didn't care about was actually quite good...
