"Axiao, I thought you were going to leave me!"
On the plane, Liu He held up all the luggage and stuffed it all over his head. After sitting down, he took a breath and said to Du Yongxiao.
"How could it be? You and I hit it off right away. I can go to England with you. I don't know how many lifetimes I will be blessed!" Du Yongxiao crossed his legs and folded the newspaper and said.
"Why do I feel this sentence is so awkward? Usually I like to use it to pick up girls."
"Really? That only proves that we are like-minded—come and shake hands!"
"Uh, shake hands!"
Du Yongxiao shook hands with Liu He.
"Is everything okay? If nothing happens, can I read the newspaper for a while?"
"Well, take a look!" Liu He nodded.
Du Yongxiao ignored him and concentrated on reading the newspaper.
Liu He sat on the chair and looked at the stewardess, asking Du Yongxiao: "By the way, you haven't answered me yet - are those foreign girls' breasts big?"
Du Yongxiao directly covered his face with the newspaper, as if he didn't know you.
…
Scotland Yard is the representative name of the Metropolitan Police Department in the British capital. It is responsible for the security and traffic maintenance of the entire Greater London area.
Scotland Yard is located in Westminster, London, about 200 yards from the House of Lords. It is the police agency of the Greater London area of the British capital. It was established in 1829 under the leadership of Home Secretary Robert Peel.
The agency is also responsible for major national tasks, such as cooperating with the command of counter-terrorism affairs, protecting members of the royal family and senior British government officials.
As a Hong Kong police officer coming to Scotland Yard for training, the easiest way to save money is to report directly to the Police Department. The Police Department here is responsible for arranging dormitories and solving the problem of food and accommodation.
Of course, if you are not used to food and accommodation, you can also rent a house outside at your own expense, as long as you can report on time and participate in various activities during the training period.
Last year, Chen Zhichao came to Scotland Yard. In order to "get together" and "integrate into the group", he took the initiative to live in a police host arranged by the Police Department.
The result was miserable. Because these ghosts discriminated against Chinese people, they were targeted and ostracized everywhere in the dormitory. They were bullied even when they washed their faces, brushed their teeth, and went to the toilet. Chen Zhichao had no choice but to temporarily rent a house outside, and then he passed the training.
Du Yongxiao did not follow in the footsteps of Chen Zhichao. He had clean habits and did not like to live in groups, so he never considered living in a free police dormitory from the beginning, nor did he plan to "mingle" with those ghost guys.
He found a mid-range hotel three hundred meters away from the police station.
There was no one at the hotel counter.
There are bunches of keys hanging on the wall inside.
On the counter lay a register and a bottle of malt whiskey.
Ding-ding-ding-ding!
Du Yongxiao pulled the wind chime next to him, and Liu He followed behind carrying large and small bags.
A moment——
A disheveled white girl walked out of the inner room, with most of her white breasts exposed. She glanced at Du Yongxiao seductively and said in English: "Handsome man, if you need anything, call this phone!"
As he spoke, he thrust a piece of paper into Du Yongxiao's hand.
You don't need to guess to know that this is a wandering warbler.
Du Yongxiao was about to throw the piece of paper into the trash can when Liu He came over with his luggage and said, "Don't throw it away! It's a good thing!" He grabbed it and bit it in his mouth.
"Hey, what are you doing?" An old white man walked out of the room with a belt in his hand and looked at Du Yongxiao and the others warily.
"Accommodation." Du Yongxiao said.
The old white man looked at Du Yongxiao suspiciously: "Are you sure you want to stay? Do you have money?"
"Yes!" Du Yongxiao took out a roll of pounds from his pocket and showed it to the old man.
Before 1967, 1 pound was worth 16 Hong Kong dollars. After 1967, 1 pound was worth 14.55 Hong Kong dollars.
It is now 1968, and Du Yongxiao now has three hundred pounds in his hand, which when converted into Hong Kong dollars is 4,300 Hong Kong dollars.
The old white man nodded, "That's great!" He burped, rubbed his red nose, walked to the counter, took a bunch of keys from the wall and handed them to Du Yongxiao: "Third floor, number five!"
As he spoke, he picked up the whiskey, opened the bottle cap, took a sip, and continued: "This hotel provides breakfast, lunch and dinner for only half a pound. If you wash your clothes and call a lady, the price is extra!" After speaking, he glanced at Liu He, " You can give it a try! Sarah’s kung fu is very good, yes, my God, it’s great!”
Liu He bit the piece of paper in his mouth and nodded vigorously.
After taking the key and paying ten pounds as a deposit, Du Yongxiao took Liu He upstairs.
The old white man shouted from behind: "By the way, if you break the law here, the deposit is non-refundable! Damn it, you Chinese are always causing trouble!"
In his opinion, Du Yongxiao and Liu He were also a pair of poor people. Coming to a big city like London was just like country bumpkins coming to the city. As long as something happened to them, the ten pound deposit could be stolen.
…
Du Yongxiao's sleep quality was not very good. Especially when he came to a strange environment, he tossed and turned in bed. Even if he hugged a pillow, he still couldn't fall asleep.
He came to the UK from Hong Kong and didn't bring much cash with him. It looked like he was going to the HSBC bank here tomorrow to see if Shen Bi had applied for his identity and whether the deposit had arrived.
An earth-shattering scream came from the next room. The white girl was very hardworking and treated the guests equally, unlike the old man in the hotel who was very kind on the surface but showed a trace of discrimination in his bones.
Liu He is also working very hard. Tonight is his first day in London, and it is also his first contact with a real London girl. With the idea of "bringing glory to the country", he is doing what he loves crazily.
Du Yongxiao took some cotton and crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into his ears, which made him feel much cleaner. He glanced out the window and saw a full moon.
Everyone said that the moon abroad was rounder than that in his hometown, but he couldn't feel it.
…
Early the next morning, Du Yongxiao got up from bed, washed up, had a simple breakfast, and knocked on Liu He's door. Liu He was still sleeping soundly.
Du Yongxiao didn't bother to call him again. He went downstairs and found that it was drizzling outside, like smoke hanging over London.
This reminded Du Yongxiao of London's other nickname "Fog City".
Seeing Du Yongxiao standing at the door hesitating, the old white man said: "You need to bring an umbrella here at all times. How about renting one or buying one?" As he said that, he took out a black canvas from under the counter like magic. Umbrella.
Du Yongxiao smiled: "No need!" After saying that, he walked towards the drizzle.
The old white man sneered from behind: "Poor guy!" and put the black umbrella back in place.
Du Yongxiao came to the roadside in the rain and waved for a carriage.
The bearded coachman saw that Du Yongxiao was Chinese and frowned: "Where are you going?"
Without saying a word, Du Yongxiao took out a coin from his arms, flicked it with his fingers, and threw it to the driver: "Tip!"
The coachman grabbed the coin and saw that it was one pound. He immediately smiled and said, "Okay sir, get in the car quickly! This damn rain is getting heavier and heavier!"
