Chief Player of Film and Television World

After coming out of the Lianghelou arena on Longjin Road, Zhang Jin first went to buy the late-night snack he promised to Uncle Gen, and then returned to his residence carrying a plastic bag.

At night in the Kowloon Walled City, only Lung Tsun Road is the most lively, with lights and feasting, making it as intoxicating as another place, which is incompatible with the true face of the Kowloon Walled City.

Returning to the squatter house in Chongyi Lane, I saw Uncle Gen still sitting in his original position, basking in the sun during the day and basking in the moonlight at night, looking quite like an outsider.

Zhang Jin stepped forward and said hello: "Uncle Gen."

"We're back! It smells so good, is it my midnight snack?" Uncle Gen said with a smile.

Zhang Jin put the plastic bag on the stone table aside: "Uncle Gen, it's good to eat while it's hot."

"Don't worry, I want to tell you something." Uncle Gen used the cattail leaf fan to hold down his hand that was untying the bag, and looked towards the room on the second floor.

"What's going on?" Zhang Jin glanced at the room on the second floor, which was the single room that the tenant had promised to leave for him. There seemed to be a silhouette moving in the darkness.

"Ma Dexing still has his daughter." Uncle Gen said in a low voice.

"Weren't they driven away by the tenant? Why did they come back and want to move in again?" Zhang Jin frowned.

"It doesn't look like it. From the look on Ma Dexing's face, I guess he is asking for something from you." Uncle Gen raised the cattail leaf fan and waved it, "Go ahead, I'll go back to the house for a midnight snack too."

After saying goodbye to Uncle Gen, Zhang Jin walked up the iron stairs to the second floor. The corridor was very dark and the moonlight could not shine here. However, with the physique of a super soldier, his eyesight was not weak, and he could vaguely see two figures, one large and one small, huddled together.

At the door, when I heard his footsteps, I seemed to turn around and look over.

"Ma Dexing?" Zhang Jin said.

After a while, I heard a slightly embarrassed voice from the other side: "It's me, A Jin."

Zhang Jin walked to the door, opened it, and turned on the light bulb in the room. Incandescent light spilled out of the doorway, making the faces of Ma Dexing and a little girl suddenly appear.

Seeing Ma Dexing's bruised nose and face, Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing?"

Ma Dexing grinned, missing a front tooth: "The debt collector was beaten, it doesn't matter."

Both of them are stowaways from mainland China, and they don’t speak Cantonese when chatting.

"Come in and sit down."

"No, I'll just talk to you alone outside."

"Okay, let your daughter go in and sit down first. Have you had dinner? I bought a midnight snack. You can have a few bites if you don't mind."

Ma Dexing cast a grateful look, turned around and said to his daughter in a friendly manner: "Xiao Shui, be obedient, go sit down first, have something to eat, and I will come to you after dad and uncle finish talking, okay?"

"Yeah." Xiao Shui nodded and walked into the room obediently.

Ma Dexing left the door ajar, walked to the corner at the end of the corridor with Zhang Jin, and then said with some embarrassment: "Ajin, I want to ask you for help with something. I know this may be very abrupt, but I really don't have anything else.

The solution is that you are known as brother Cheng who is good at giving things to others. If you don’t even help me..."

"You want me to lend you money?" Zhang Jin asked.

Ma Dexing quickly waved his hand: "No, I will pay back the money myself. I know you have become prosperous recently, but loan sharking is very troublesome. The money you earn may not be enough to repay my interest. I will find a way on this matter myself. But I

It is impossible for my daughter to wander around with me, I hope...I hope you can help take care of her for a while."

As if he was afraid that he would not agree, Ma Dexing said quickly, "Don't worry, you don't have to take good care of her, just give her a mouthful of food. And Xiao Shui is very sensible and capable of housework. He can help you clean up the room."

, you should hire a servant, and he will not eat you in vain."

Listening to Ma Dexing's eager tone, Zhang Jin said: "You are so confident in leaving your daughter to me, aren't you afraid that I am a beast?"

"I've asked about it, and you have a very good reputation. You've never done anything bad."

“Having never done bad things doesn’t necessarily mean you are a good person, and a good person may not always be a good person.”

"I know everything you said. If you are really a beast, there is nothing I can do about it." Ma Dexing smiled bitterly. If he was not desperate, who would be willing to entrust his children to others? The young man in front of him is the best he can find.

Chosen.

Zhang Jin was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you."

"Thank you! I...I kowtow to you!" Ma Dexing was very excited.

Zhang Jin quickly stopped him from kneeling down: "No, Brother Ma, I can't bear it. It's just a little effort. I still want to live a few more years."

He didn't like to make people kneel down. Not to mention anything else, just by agreeing to this matter, the system actually increased the progress of his good deeds to 81, which was a full increase of ten tasks.

"Okay, I won't say thank you for your kindness. If I have the ability in the future, I will definitely repay you!" Ma Dexing smiled with tears, "Then it's settled, I will leave Xiaoshui to you to take care of me. When I finish paying off the loan shark, I will

Come back and pick him up."

"How do you plan to repay the money? Do you want me to introduce you to some jobs?" Zhang Jin said, helping people to the end.

"No need, the loan shark has already prepared something for me, and I can't tolerate my refusal." Ma Dexing shook his head, turned to look at the lighted door, with a complicated and guilty look on his face.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "I'm leaving first. I won't say goodbye to Xiao Shui. You can tell her for me." After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs from the other side.

Zhang Jin watched Ma Dexing go downstairs and back to his room. The little girl Xiao Shui was sitting quietly on a chair with unopened midnight snacks on the table.

"Why don't you eat it? Longjin Dao Wangbo's wontons are delicious." Zhang Jin closed the door and walked forward with a smile.

Ever since he came in, Xiao Shui had been staring at him with those big watery eyes, and suddenly asked: "Is my dad gone?"

"Uh..." Zhang Jin didn't expect her to ask this, "Your father has something to do, so you stay with me for now. He will come back to pick you up after a while."

Xiao Shui pursed his lips, and the expression on his face was surprisingly calm: "Oh, I understand."

Zhang Jin felt that the little girl's reaction was a bit strange and couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you curious about what he is doing?"

Xiao Shui said: "I know what he is going to do. Today the loan shark wanted to arrest me to pay off the debt. My dad didn't agree. Finally, he had no choice but to agree to help him do something. As long as the thing is done well, the debt will be written off."

"

"Do you know what they want your dad to do?" Now it was Zhang Jin's turn to be curious. It would definitely be difficult to pay off the debt with a loan shark, and it might even be life-threatening.

Ma Dexing had no intention of asking him to help, but if he could get more task completions by keeping Ma Dexing busy, he wouldn't mind being a "bad" good guy and stepping in to solve the problem.

Xiao Shui replied: "I don't know. They didn't explain it directly, but it may have something to do with going to the mainland because they liked my dad's northern accent."

Zhang Jin pondered for a while. The matter involved the mainland and was a bit sensitive. He might not be able to intervene now, but the specific situation was not yet known. A loan shark might not be as deep as he thought. It seemed that he could only find a loan shark.

Only a loan shark can figure it out.

He asked Xiao Shuidao: "What's the name of that loan shark?"
