In Hong Kong, working hard at the docks carrying sacks is the choice of many children from poor families. Although there are many hardware factories, plastic flower factories, and garment factories in Hong Kong in this era, Kowloon, Hong Kong Island, and almost all developed places have factories. Many young people still choose not to work in factories, but to work as coolies on the docks.
The reason is simple. Salaries in the factory are paid monthly, but here at the dock they are paid daily. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, you can make a lot of money. Occasionally, if you encounter a big job, you can still find more. The factory system is strict and fines are often issued for violations, and young people cannot stand the constraints.
Secondly, there are many societies at the pier, and many young people are full of enthusiasm. It is easiest to find "organizations" here. With the societies as a backer, they feel that they can get ahead and be successful.
Of course, there are also exceptions among them,
For example, Du Yongshun!
As Du Yongxiao's younger brother, Du Yongshun had a burned-out brain since childhood. He was not very smart, but very strong, and he was also the first to work as a coolie at the dock. Others can carry three sacks at most, but he can carry five, or even six. Others can only eat two bowls of rice, but he can eat five bowls.
At home, Li Cuilian really couldn't feed him. She ate too much and the whole family starved after eating him alone. On the contrary, after coming to the dock to work, Du Yongshun finally found a meal ticket.
Du Yongshun is famous for his strength in the dock. For this reason, many societies want to recruit him, including the old Hutchison, Fourteen K and Laoxin.
But Du Yongshun is a filial child. When his mother Li Cuilian asked him to come here to work, she told him not to join a gang. He just remembered this sentence and refused to join.
The society's intimidation and inducement didn't work, and Du Yongshun was another idiot. He would fight with his life and no one dared to provoke him. So in the end, almost everyone in the whole dock joined the society, but Du Yongshun was still clean.
Du Yongxiao got off the rickshaw, paid and walked towards the dock. From a distance, he saw dock workers loading and unloading goods.
The "chip man" who is responsible for distributing the chips sits behind the table, and the workers carry the sacks and collect the bamboo chips. One bamboo chip represents a sack of goods. The more bamboo chips you accumulate, the more your salary will be today.
"Clang clang clang!"
Someone beats a gong.
"Calm down, let's eat!"
"Wealthy big pot dish, steamed buns and rice!"
"Fugui Big Pot Dish" is actually cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and occasionally some pork is added. This big pot dish not only satisfies hunger, but is also very flavorful, especially with the addition of pork and the dripping of sesame oil, the pot is filled with fragrance.
Not to mention steamed buns and rice, which are standard working meals for coolies. Only when you have a full stomach can you have strength.
The boss stood up from the table and waved to the workers to speed up. He was in a hurry to eat.
In the team, Du Yongshun, who is only sixteen years old this year, is like a calf, carrying four sacks and sandwiched in the middle of the team.
The sacks were stacked so high that they pushed Du Yongshun's head down.
The workers were used to seeing him working so hard, and some people joked: "Ah Shun, why are you working so hard to get a wife?"
Du Yongshun raised his head, sweat dripping down his face and neck, and grinned, "I don't want a wife."
"If you don't want to marry a wife, why are you working so hard?"
Du Yongshun didn't speak, just smiled.
The co-worker joked again: "I feel sorry for you. Do you want me to take you to Temple Street after work? It's so exciting!"
Du Yongshun smiled stupidly and remained silent.
"Damn, three sticks can't beat a fart!"
"He is a fool, a fool!" a bearded man mocked.
"Hahaha!"
Sudden----
Bang!
The guy who said Du Yongshun was "stupid" and had a beard was kicked off!
The sack he was carrying also weighed on him.
The crowd was in chaos.
"Someone is causing trouble!"
"Hitting someone!"
Du Yongxiao was dressed in white clothes, kicked his beard, stepped on his head, and said condescendingly: "You silly fool, can you try to say it again?"
"Who is this person?"
"have no idea!"
Du Yongxiao's expression was ferocious, and he didn't care about the surrounding gazes at all. He used his feet to crush his bearded head and face, causing blood to bleed.
His beard was stepped on, his face was distorted, and he couldn't get up.
Someone next to him wanted to step forward, but Du Yongxiao glared back.
"What happened?" The bald man in charge of order at the dock rushed over with people.
"Who dares to make trouble here?" The bald man is the "killer hero" of the 14th K Loyalty Hall's double-flower red club.
Double flower red stick, one of a hundred kinds!
In this era, the double-flower red sticks of every society are very valuable, unlike the bad streets in the 1970s and 1980s.
There are many docks in Hong Kong, many of which are legal and illegal. The Shuang Hua Hong Sticks of various associations are responsible for guarding these docks. If someone comes to cause trouble, the Shuang Hua Hong Sticks will be the first to step forward to ensure that the territory is safe and sound, and that their brothers are busy.
As a double red stick sent by the 14th K to guard the Kowloon Pier, Killer Hung is known to be a ruthless person. When he was young, he liked to show off his cruelty and fight. Because his parents died early and there was no one to discipline him, he would often risk his life just for a bite of steamed buns. In street fights, his attacks are vicious, and his opponent often loses his arms and legs, leaving him disabled even if he doesn't die. Later, he joined the 14th K in the dock and quickly rose to the top with his fierce drive. Especially in the battle with Hutchison over the territory, he singled out more than a dozen opponents with a machete. He became famous in the first battle and was appointed. Guarding the Kowloon Pier.
The killer rushed over and saw Du Yongxiao stepping on his beard and still crushing him hard.
"Seeking death!" Killer Xiong shouted loudly and was about to step forward.
Du Yongxiao lifted up his clothes and drew his gun!
Without even looking, he waved his hand and pointed the gun at him.
Killer Xiong immediately stopped and said, "Is there a troll?"
The four subordinates also stopped and looked at Du Yongxiao in astonishment.
"Come forward and kill him with one shot!" Du Yongxiao said word by word without looking back.
The tone is cold,
sharp eyes,
Coupled with his actions at this time, the aura is crushing!
After all, Killer Xiong is also a fierce man who can kill with mountains of swords and seas of blood. He has seen the world, but because of this, he keenly felt that Du Yongxiao was not joking---
If he takes a step forward, Du Yongxiao really dares to shoot!
It is a kind of intuition, an intuition tempered by life and death.
Du Yongxiao didn't even look at him.
That kind of scorn,
That kind of contempt,
It made him feel even more murderous.
Swallowing his saliva, Killer Yuichi clasped his fists: "My friend, which path do you belong to?"
Du Yongxiao then turned around: "West Kowloon Police Station."
Killer Xiong frowned: "It turns out to be sir, we paid the fees!"
Du Yongxiao snorted coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with fees!" After speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the beard, "If you have the guts, can you say one more thing?"
The bearded man wanted to die at this moment. He couldn't figure out that he was just being quick-talking and causing such trouble.
She thought that Killer Hero could help her make the decision, but she didn't expect that the other party was actually a police officer, or a plainclothes police officer!
"I...don't dare anymore!" The bearded man was bruised from the corner of his mouth, lying on the ground with his face twisted, and muttered.
It was only at this moment that the killer realized that it seemed that this street bastard said something wrong and was punished by this young plainclothes man.
Du Yongxiao raised his feet.
Someone immediately stepped forward and helped the bearded man up.
Killer Xiong winked and asked someone to put his beard aside, and then he said to Du Yongxiao: "Dare to ask my friend----"
Before he could finish speaking,
"I'm here to find someone." Du Yongxiao adjusted his suit, looking elegant and gentle, completely different from the fierce look just now.
"Looking for someone?"
Du Yongxiao pointed at Du Yongshun, his sharp eyes turned into a smile: "My dear!"
