Everything starts with Datang Ssangyong

New York, Chinatown.

In the eyes of those blond and blue-eyed white people, the Chinese are a strange nation. They don't like living in their own country, but prefer to cross the ocean to find their dreams and living space in other places.

It's just that the Chinese are generally tenacious and hard-working. Without them, there would be no Pacific Railway in the United States that spans the entire North America.

The famous French science fiction writer Jules Verne also mentioned the significance of this railway construction in his "Around the World in Eighty Days" - without it, the dream of traveling around the world in eighty days will always be just a dream That's all.

In the past, the shortest journey from New York to San Francisco was 6 months.After the railway is completed, it only takes 7 days.

Without the hard work of the Chinese workers, the Pacific Railway would have been impossible to complete, let alone completed 7 years ahead of schedule.

"If there is no knowledge about the trial of explosives, and pay attention to the use of explosives; if there are no Chinese working at dizzying heights, attached to almost vertical cliffs; , the section under the responsibility of the Central Pacific Railroad will never be completed. If it is completed, it will be delayed for a long time.

R. W. Howard wrote in "The Magnificent Steel Wire".

And it was these despised Chinese laborers with extremely meager salaries who succeeded in laying the building that will be selected as "one of the seven industrial wonders of the world since the Industrial Revolution".

It's just that the Pacific Railway has made great contributions to the economic development of the United States, and even in a certain sense, it is this railway that has made modern America.

But the Chinese laborers who worked hard for this, and even the Chinese were not accepted by the local area. Even in the eyes of those white people who think highly of themselves and despise all outsiders, it is always difficult for the Chinese to be treated fairly. crowd out.

In the eyes of some white people who have caused the suffering of the Chinese, most of the suffering of the Chinese is self-inflicted.

In their eyes, the Chinese are extremely closed, and it is not easy to integrate with other cultures. Therefore, in every corner of the world, they will live together in a corner of their own, and build a world that only belongs to the Chinese in a small corner of a foreign land.Presumably, Chinatowns are spread all over the world for this reason.

New York's Chinatown is not just a street. There are Chinese people in several criss-crossing streets. There are at least [-] to [-] overseas Chinese here. In addition to restaurants and restaurants, there are also various types of trade and commercial activities.

In short, all the work and activities that can keep people alive, the Chinese will also do.Therefore, the scale of Chinatown is getting bigger and bigger, and the wealth accumulated by the Chinese people is also increasing.Americans will never understand the Chinese way of life, they just think that the Chinese are particularly hardworking, but the Chinese can’t succeed in living in a foreign land only by relying on the word "hard work", the heartache and suffering are only their own Only then is it clear.

Alone as a stranger in a foreign land, especially in the American continent where racial discrimination is the most serious.

The Chinese still have a lot of things they don't know, or even understand....

Tonight, the streets are decorated with lights, and the atmosphere is full of joy.It turned out to be the [-]th birthday of Shen Tianyang, the chairman of the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce. Shen Tianyang is the first generation of overseas Chinese who settled down in New York.

He held a birthday banquet in the largest restaurant in Chinatown, and arranged a large banquet. All the people who participated in the birthday banquet were famous people in Chinatown.The name of the restaurant where Shen Tianyang hosted the banquet was "Zhonghua Lou".It is a long-established restaurant in Chinatown.

There are also many legends about the Zhonghua Building. It is said that the founder of this building is the "Sword Master", the most famous master in Chinese martial arts.There are also legends that there are tigers and dragons in the building, and every employee is a master of martial arts; but the most mysterious person in the eyes of outsiders is the shopkeeper of Zhonghua Building.

Most people only know his surname Hua, but nothing else.

Some people even boldly guessed that this shopkeeper Hua was a young hero who was famous 15 years ago.

And for decades, there has been only one hero surnamed Hua.

It's just that this person is extremely mysterious, and disappeared again after appearing in the world, and no one has seen his trace for many years.

But legends are just legends, especially the legends from the Chinese population, which are even less credible in the eyes of those white people.

Shen Tianyang's birthday banquet has booked the entire Zhonghua Building in advance, and at least two or three hundred people will congratulate him on the spot. In order to prepare for this birthday banquet, Qing'er, the host of Zhonghua Building, is very busy.

Qing'er is a 20-year-old girl who has been taken care of by the shopkeeper in the Zhonghua Building for many years. She is now a tall and handsome girl. After finishing her studies, she took care of the business in the Zhonghua Building and took the initiative to share the burden of the shopkeeper. work.

Tonight, the shopkeeper had something to go out, and Qing'er was in charge of handling Shen Tianyang's birthday banquet, but Qing'er never dreamed that it would be so grand and the work would be so heavy.

In front of the gate of the Zhonghua Building where people come and go, two old men are sitting diagonally beside the door. In the eyes of outsiders, the old man with gray hair has already reached the age that he can't carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands. .

But every employee in the Zhonghua Building respected the two old men very much.

It's just because the two elders are responsible for guarding the security of the Zhonghua Building for more than ten years, and they have never made any mistakes.

It seems that they are sitting on the sidelines without any defense, but they can see their strengths with the eyes of an insider.

Just because they are in the exact direction that everyone wants to go, no matter where you want to enter the restaurant, you can't avoid them.

Moreover, the two of them are definitely not ordinary old people in the eyes of outsiders. In the cloudy eyes that are used to look at the passers-by around them, there is actually a hidden light in them.

That's right, these two old men are indeed not simple!
However, when the old man was looking at the passers-by, a strange figure appeared in front of the gate of Zhonghua Building at some point. Seeing this figure suddenly appear, the old man was almost frightened and jumped up on the spot.

Without him, it's just because this person appeared too abruptly!

It should be noted that the two old men seem to be casually looking at the passers-by, but in fact they can see every person's figure and even the face clearly.

However, the figure in front of him, the Ersou was sure that he had never appeared in the crowd, as if he had appeared out of thin air!
The appearance of the figure of the visitor naturally made the old man's expression dignified, but after looking at him for a while, a trace of complexity appeared in the solemn expression of the old man.

It's just because the clothes of the visitors are extremely different.

The visitor was dressed in ancient costumes from the Central Plains, and he was so conspicuous in this foreign capital in this foreign country!
Especially his appearance can be called extremely handsome, even at the age of the old man, he has never seen a man more handsome than this man in front of him, and even most women in the world are not as delicate as him.

"China Building?"

Just when the old man raised his vigilance and speculated about the other party's intention, the visitor raised his head and looked at the signboard of Zhonghua Building in front of him.

Looking at the three big characters of Zhonghua Building, the visitor stopped in place for a long time, and he didn't know if he remembered something, or if the Zhonghua Building in front of him touched his mind.

After a long time, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Elder, are there any vacancies in the restaurant?"

Looking down at the serious looking Er Sou in front of him, the visitor suddenly smiled and said.

"There are still vacancies, please come in!"

For some reason, the old man who was still on guard just now said.

When the visitor heard the words, he naturally stepped into the restaurant, but after the visitor easily stepped into the restaurant, the expression of the old man who was guarding the door suddenly changed drastically.

It was obvious that the two of them had long been wary of the visitor, but the moment the other party opened their mouth, the two of them seemed to be possessed by a demon, neither refused nor said anything, and even took the initiative to invite the other party in.

Such a bizarre encounter, the two of them have never met in their lives!

Even when the two of them joined forces to fight against the "Sword Master", the most famous master in the Chinese martial arts, they had never encountered such an unimaginable result.

Although it is not clear what kind of method the visitor used, but this has already made the old man understand the horror of the visitor.

Since the visitor can make the two of them take the initiative to let go of their guard as if possessed by a demon, they can naturally take their lives away without a sound. Such a method is no exaggeration!

And now that the person has stepped into the restaurant, even if the two of them don't want it in their hearts, they can only accept this result.

"Shopkeeper, serve all your special dishes!"

As soon as the visitor sat down, he opened his mouth and said.

"Good... good!"

The employees of Zhonghua Building, who were standing still at the side, only realized it later.

If it were on a normal day, there would definitely be some senior employees in the restaurant who would teach him his manners, but today no one would say anything about him.

Just because the visitor just stepped into the restaurant, he seemed to attract all the brilliance in the world, and everyone's eyes inevitably fell on him alone.

To be a stranger in a foreign country alone, think of love every time during the festive season.

Every one of them, the Chinese who are living abroad and running around for their livelihood, has endless sadness in their hearts.

Now suddenly seeing a figure in ancient costumes from his hometown in a foreign country, it naturally touched a certain heartstring in each of them invisibly.

The person who came was extremely handsome and tall, but the girl Qing'er who took the initiative to share the work of the shopkeeper couldn't help but lose her mind for a while.

She had seen such a person before.

And that person is now the treasurer of Zhonghua Building.

The sudden visit of the visitor naturally brought a lot of influence to Zhonghua Building.

Fortunately, it was still early, and there was still some time before the [-]th birthday banquet of Shen Tianyang, the richest man of overseas Chinese, so he quickly assigned a manpower to serve the special wine and dishes of Zhonghualou for the visitors.

Zhonghua Building is indeed the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and it is also the place where many famous martial arts masters hide themselves.

The employees in the Zhonghua Building knew this very well. After being in contact with those martial arts celebrities and masters for a long time, most of them also understood the temper of those people.

In addition, seeing that the visitor was dressed in ancient costumes from his hometown, it was inevitable to feel a little more cordial in his heart.

……

It's just that when he saw the food and wine served, the visitor's expression was slightly wrinkled, and he moved his chopsticks to taste it after a long time.

"I don't know if it tastes good or not?"

Seeing that the visitor finally moved his chopsticks, the staff of Zhonghua Building on the side quickly said.

"The taste is not bad, but others can't eat this dish..."

When the visitor said this, he picked up the steamed fish again.

"why?"

The employees of Zhonghua Building on the side were still puzzled.

At this time, the old man sitting at the door seemed to have noticed something, and his expression changed slightly.

"Because it's poisonous!" the visitor said calmly.

poisonous?

The employees of Zhonghua Building, headed by Qinger, couldn't help but change their faces when they heard the news. Seeing that the birthday banquet of Shen Tianyang, the richest man of overseas Chinese, was about to be held, someone said that the dishes were poisonous...

Just when everyone was dubious, a man in his 30s and a young man in his 20s walked into the restaurant. The older man was called "Luo Han", who was the person in charge of a martial arts gym in Chinatown and the The person who watched Qing'er grow up since he was a child; another young man in his 20s is called "Yuan Wu", a martial artist who traveled across the ocean from China to New York's Chinatown.

He had heard that many martial arts masters lived in seclusion in Chinatown, New York, so he traveled thousands of miles here to find expert advice; and the first martial arts master he met in Chinatown was Luo Han.While Yuan Wu studied legwork with Luo Han, he also stayed to help the local Chinese solve problems.In the blink of an eye, Yuan Wu also stayed in Chinatown for more than half a year.And Yuan Wu also developed a strong affection for this Chinese region living in a different place.

Luo Han asked: "Qing'er, what happened?"

Qing'er is just a 20-year-old girl, and she panicked when faced with such a thing for the first time, and she didn't know where to start, so she just replied: "Uncle Luohan...some people say that the food is poisonous...the birthday of Mr. Shen is coming soon... ..."

While the two were talking, the visitor who was sitting upright suddenly flicked his fingers slightly, sending out a wisp of wind.

A diner who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave immediately froze and stood there unable to move.

"Acupressure in the air?"

Arhat and Yuan Wu at the side couldn't help being surprised when they saw this.

"What's wrong with you, you dare to poison me?"

The person who came just glanced at the diner lightly, but the eyes of the diner who had a ghost in his heart were frightened.

It must be known that his clothes are so flawless that even the two old guards couldn't see the flaws at first glance.

It turned out that he was ordered to come here today to lure the two old ghosts guarding the door out of Chinatown, but unexpectedly the plan started, and he fell at the first step.

Just because this person saw through his disguise at the first sight!
"No, you know martial arts, are you from the Black Dragon Society?"

The old man who had been staying at the door finally noticed something from the diners, and his tone suddenly became serious.

"Hey...you people don't even know you're dying..."

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, the diner suddenly had no other luck in his heart, but when he said the cruel words, there was a strange smile on his face, and he himself didn't even notice it.

After laughing out loud like this three times, the whole person suddenly died, only the strange smile remained on his face, which seemed to remind them that all this was not a dream!

"This……"

Seeing this, all the people present were shocked, obviously this person had been hit on the acupoints, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, how could he die so bizarrely and suddenly?
"I'm the fairest person. Since I tasted your poison myself, I won't favor one over another!"

Dressed in a green shirt, he said slowly, here he picked up the steamed fish that happened to be brought up.

However, at the same time, the faces of everyone in the Zhonghua Building became solemn without exception.

After a long time, Yuan Wu sighed and said: "My friend, you shouldn't have that person..."

What he said here, although he didn't finish speaking, the meaning behind his words was very clear to everyone present.

Just because the Black Dragon Society is quite different from other gangs!
It is the largest gang organization in the United States, involving all criminal activities that can occur in society. Due to the support of political groups and government officials behind it, the Black Dragon Society has expanded rapidly in recent years, and almost [-]% of all gangs in the United States have been annexed by it , the momentum is one moment and two yuan.

It is said that the Black Dragon Society, a newly emerging gang organization, is becoming stronger day by day because the leader of the Black Dragon Society has extremely strong skills and outstanding abilities. All the gang members have heard of this person's name, and even some people have heard of it. Many people will have a feeling of fear from the heart when they hear it-Commander Black Dragon.

Although the Black Dragon Society is so powerful, there are always some places that are not under their jurisdiction.New York's Chinatown is one such place.

As for why the Black Dragon Society has never dared to invade Chinatown?
It stems from the mediation of the martial arts myth "Sword Master" 15 years ago. Since then, the two sides have made an agreement.

Now the two sides have spent 15 years without interfering with each other...

But now he suddenly reached out into Chinatown. As for the conspiracy behind it, everyone naturally wanted to find out!

……

Chinatown was very quiet tonight, and most of the neighbors gathered near Zhonghua Building to celebrate Shen Tianyang's fiftieth birthday.

However, an invisible sense of oppression made the Ersou, Yuan Wu, Luo Han and others feel uneasy, and they couldn't help sweating.

Under the cold moon, at the end of the long street, a lonely figure slowly walked out, how lonely...

And the crisp ringtone that confuses the mind floating in the cold air...

"Bell...ring...bell..." It was like the howling of death, lingering on the edge of the cold moon!

Perhaps the person who died suddenly and unexpectedly just now would never have imagined that the mysterious person who had tried his best to divert the tiger away from the mountain and lure the elders to that person's side would automatically appear in Chinatown this time.
