The night of Hong Kongis brilliantly illuminated.
香江的夜晚灯火通明。Tall buildingslight, shinesin the sea level of Victoria, asocean wavesfluctuatingis uncertain, transforms the colorspotbillows the scene.
高楼大厦灯光,映照在维多利亚港的海面上,随着海浪起伏不定,变换成色彩斑澜的景象。
The old gentleman attended the welcoming party that the governor of Hong Kongholds, at this momenthas not come back, after Han Xuanand otherGrandmafell asleep, the boredunderplangoes outto play, bumps into the grandfather who came backjust in timein the InterContinentalentrance, thereforedrawshimto go outtogether.
老爷子去参加港督举行的欢迎会,此刻还没回来,韩宣等奶奶睡着后,无聊之下打算出去玩,在洲际酒店门口碰到了正巧回来的外公,于是拉着他一起出门。Is close tothe end of the year.
接近年底。Canhave the new lookfor a chartnew year, the grandfathersuggested that this yearcometoverheadandbeset by disastersHan Xuan, looks a templeto bye-bye, lightingseveralcolumnsis fragrant, asking the Bodhisattvato bless.
为了图个新年能有新气象,外公建议今年扫把星当头、多灾多难的韩宣,去找个庙拜拜,烧上几柱香,求菩萨保佑。Mustsay that in the eveningcanplay, place that can also burn joss sticks and worship buddha, thatisnine dragonssesame oilMiao Streetis naturally most famous, therehas the Jiulong DistrictbiggestTinhau Temple, the incense and candleis always prosperous.
要说晚上能玩,又能烧香拜佛的地方,那自然是九龙麻油地庙街最出名,那里有座九龙区最大的天后庙,香火一向鼎盛。On the roadis the car(riage), the pedestrianabsolutelydoes not have„to walkzebra crossing”thisconcept, once for a whilecansee a group of centerstupidlyto standindividual, thisporcelainbumps not specialized, ifmeets a brainpulled outdriving fast, it is estimated thatloses money must burntohimcanuse.
路上全是车,行人完全没有“要走斑马线”这个概念,时不时能看见路中央傻傻站着个人,这瓷碰得太不专业,万一遇到个脑子抽了的开快车,估计赔钱也要烧给他才能用。
The night scene and village of metropolisare just the opposite, itwas full of the energy, the buildingroofserves as the decoration the neon lightto be multi-colored, the entiremetropolisaccording tolikedaytime.
都市的夜景和乡村恰恰相反,它充满了活力,大厦楼顶用做装饰的霓虹灯五彩缤纷,把整个都市照得如同白昼。
When the vehicles on roadstopsfashionably, the trumpetcontinuously, on the sidewalk the pedestrianshuttles back and forth, eachstoreopens the front door, welcomes the guestmomentarily.
路上的车辆时停时行,喇叭声连续不断,人行道上行人穿梭,各个商店都敞开大门,随时迎接客人。Arrives atMiao Streetto get out.
来到庙街下车。
The surroundingsoftencansee the form of bludger, theirmakingsare especially prominent, for fear thatothersdo not knowoneselfmixes the organized crime, the tattooexposes outside, facial featuresface upwards, looks at the rampantstance of personwith the nostril.
周围不时能看见混混的身影,他们气质尤其突出,生怕别人不知道自己是混黑社会的,纹身裸露在外面,一副眉眼朝天,用鼻孔看人的嚣张姿态。Now the organized crimelifelong system, small scalefightingsometimes happened, in the 90's the organized crimeplot in Hong Kongmovie, is the true portrayal of presentHong Kong.
现在黑社会还是终身制,小规模打架斗殴时有发生,九十年代香江电影里的黑社会情节,是如今香江的真实写照。Waitsto crossagainsomeyears, fightsto ask the cowboy, the appearance moneyto take500Hong Kong dollars, but alsoonlyhelpsset the example, the big shothave the tacit understandingnot to begin, because an internecine strifepossiblymakes itselfgo bankrupt.
等再过些年,打架请马仔,出场费要五百港币,还只帮忙做做样子,大佬们有默契不动手,因为一场火拼就可能让自己破产。Thisseeminglypromisingoccupation, actuallymostlyalsoon a chartwarm and sufficient condition, makeslooks for the money of pleasure, with " Godfather » inwords, 1000organized crimemembers, brings in moneyquicklycompared withonelaw office......
这份看似有前途的职业,其实大多也就图个温饱,挣些找乐子的钱,用《教父》里的话来说,一千个黑社会成员,也比不过一家律师事务所来钱快……
The Han Xuanvisionsizes upeverywhere, helikes the strangecity, because ofhere, anythingis novel.韩宣目光四处打量,他喜欢陌生的城市,因为在这里,什么都是新奇的。
The signboard that varioustypeswrite the traditional character, roasts the stalland a wearstrangenative of Southeast Asia of squid, scenic spot that canwatch.
各种写着繁体字的招牌、烤鱿鱼的小摊、穿着怪异的东南亚人,都是可以观赏的景点。Lined upto buy the currygefilte fish, justfinished eating, met the durianbooth.
排队买了份咖喱鱼丸,刚吃完,碰见了个榴莲摊。Regardingthistype of shapesimilarmeteorhammer, the flavorlooks like the restroomsomething'sstrangefruit, heheld the resistance before heart, butlooked that so manypeopleencirclebefore the boothbuy, follows, bought the pointto try.
对于这种形状类似流星锤,味道更像厕所某物的古怪水果,他以前心里抱有抵触情绪,不过看那么多人围在摊前买,也跟着走过去,买了点试试。Under the grandfatherpanic-strickenvision, Han Xuanbit the mouth, the subconsciousnesschewed, thatflavormadehimturn hostileimmediately!
在外公惊恐目光下,韩宣咬了口,下意识嘴嚼,那味道顿时让他变脸!Coversto be quiet, found the trash canhurriedly, the doublehand-heldknee, bends the waistto spit, the faceis shoutingpainstakingly: „Water water! It is not right, water!”
捂住嘴,急匆匆找到个垃圾桶,双手扶膝,弯腰吐出来,苦着脸喊道:“水水水!不对,water!”Thischapter of bodyguardsunderstood, before going into the coconut treebooth, Jasondoes not know where fromfishes out the sparganium stoloniferumthorn, makes an effortto poke, slightlyrunsto giveHan Xuanwith the straw.
这回保镖们明白了,跑到个椰子摊前,杰森不知从哪摸出把三棱刺,用力戳进去,拿根吸管小跑递给韩宣。
The bosswantsto remindhimto sayhas not paid money, butcannotspeak at a ventureat this time, goes outinHong Kongalsoleads the foreigner of blade, the lord who the fiercedragoncrosses the river, canarrivepoorlysnatches not the valuablecoconut tree, thiswantsferociously......
老板很想提醒他说没付钱,但这时候不能乱说话,在香江出门还带刀的老外,都是猛龙过江的主,能穷到来抢不值钱的椰子,这要有多穷凶极恶......Had a touristnot to kickto renovate the brokenbowl of moneycarefully, the coinwas scatteringplace, has therefore curedto be lame the beggarfor many yearslegillness/quickunexpectedly, standsominously the somersaulthungry wolfvisionhorizontal, wherehas the Lin Daiyulike thatemaciatedfacial expression.
有位游客不小心踢翻装着钱的破碗,硬币撒了一地,竟然因此治好跛腿乞丐多年来的腿疾,站起来跟头饿狼似的目光凶横,哪有刚才林黛玉那般孱弱神情。Han Xuanis using the sweetShakyafruit, covers the duriantaste of mouth, immediately is included within the durianat heart„cannoteatblacklist”, recalled that has a feeling nauseatedfeeling.韩宣正在用甜甜的释迦果,盖去嘴里的榴莲味,当下在心里将榴莲划入“不可食用黑名单”,回想起来都有种要吐的感觉。
The after-tastecould hardly be removedin the mouth, boughtpackage of azurebetel nuts, took upto admit the mouthto chew.
余味在嘴里挥之不去,买了包青槟榔,拿起颗放进嘴里嚼。At this time, had the old man of features suggesting extraordinariness and immortalityto blockhim, cameto point atHan Xuanwith the hand, the complexionis worrying: „Little friend, Ithought that yourcenter of the foreheadbecomes dark, thisismusthave the disaster!”
这时,有位仙风道骨的老头拦住了他,一过来就用手指着韩宣,面色着急:“小友,我看你印堂发黑,这是要有祸事啊!”Han Xuanhad seenhima moment ago, has spokenthese wordsto more than fivetourists, is criticizing the oldswindlerat heart, opens the mouth saying: „Icannot understand the Cantonese.”韩宣刚才就看到过他,对不下五位游客说过这句话,心里暗骂着老骗子,开口道:“我听不懂粤语。”„Little friend, Ithought that yourcenter of the foreheadbecomes dark, thisismusthave the disaster!” The old man those words, repeatedwith the standard spoken Chineseimmediately, on the face the expressionwithtoucheda moment ago is the same.
“小友,我看你印堂发黑,这是要有祸事啊!”老头顿时将那句话,用普通话重复了遍,脸上表情都和刚才一摸一样。Han Xuanis chewing the betel nut, whitehiseye, but also is really versatile, the national languageactuallysaidis so standard, speaks thoughtlesslyinEnglishsaid: „Sorry, Iam not familiarwithChinese, pleasesayagain?”韩宣嚼着槟榔,白了他眼,还真是多才多艺,国语竟然说这么标准,随口用英语说道:“抱歉,我对中文不熟悉,请再说一遍?”„......”
“……”
The old mansaw that thisboyis teasing himself, the eyebelt/bringsmiles, a gentleappearance, shifts toGuo Muzhou the goal: „Myoutdoor shopin that helping your grandson...... the grandchildcalculate?”
老头看出这小子是在逗弄自己,眼睛带笑,一副慈祥模样,把目标转向郭穆州:“我摊子在那,帮你这位孙......外孙算算?”Looked in front of the Tinhau Templesmallstall, the Han Xuanconnectionsaid: „Good, not accuratedoes not givemoney.”
看了看天后庙前面的小地摊,韩宣接口道:“好啊,不准不给钱。”„Looked atyou saying that Inotformoney, but in weassigned/lifeare predestined friends, thereforewantsto helpyouget through the difficult time.”
“瞧你说的,我不是为了钱,只是我们命里有缘,所以想帮你渡过难关。”„Ido not give, thank you, person of good intention.”
“那我就不给了,谢谢您,好心人。”„!”
“咳,咳!”
The old manpats the chest, has not seenthisunluckychildexactlygreatly, butis the guardiantakes out moneygenerally, hedoes not careto the Han Xuanwords.
老头拍拍胸,活这么大没见过这种倒霉孩子,不过一般是家长掏钱,他对韩宣的话不怎么在意。
Before arriving at the Tinhau Templegate, bypassesarrange/clothTanto sit downwith the smallbackless stool, puts out a handhintto makemastergrandsonalsosit.
来到天后庙门前,绕过布摊拿个小板凳坐下,伸手示意让爷孙俩也坐。Han Xuanstares at the groundto pressfourcorner/hornEight Trigrams (gossip)chartswith the stone, abovewrites, Kun, to shake, Xun trigram, ridge, Gen trigramandexchangingdry, is interested inwrites the birthdayto the oldgodstick, looked that hecansaywhatwords.韩宣盯着地上用石头压着四角的八卦图,上面写有乾、坤、震、巽、坎、离、艮、兑,感兴趣将自己生日写给老神棍,看他能说出什么话。
The old mancloses one's eyes, pinchesfor quite a whilewith the finger, being always talking: „ Thislifeis the pig, the bigsea waterlife, fivelineslack the fire.
老头闭起眼睛,用手指掐半天,叨念着:“本命属猪,大海水命,五行缺火。Mr.Guo, after yourgrandson , the good luckis very prosperous!
郭先生,你孙子以后桃花运很旺啊!
His enterpriseisextraordinary, the lifegreatlyis greatly expensively rich, wasconfers nobility uponinancientthatimmediately, the good luck of Donghuamenroll call!

看他这手掌,一条竖线直通无名指,这叫财运线,以后从商求财,必定财如流水,连绵不断。”Han Xuanmay notsetregarding thisotherwise, surroundingsso manybodyguards, hemust unable to seeagainownfamily/homeis rich, that was really blind.韩宣对此不可置否,周围那么多保镖,他要再看不出自己家有钱,那真是瞎了。Guo Muzhoublossomshappilyshamelessly, a peach blossom, a good luck in making money, the enterprise and lovedifference/two kinds, Han Xuanoccupied, howhecannot be happy.
偏偏郭穆州高兴地老脸开花,一个桃花,一个财运,事业和爱情两样,韩宣都占了,他怎么能不高兴。Asking: „Mygrandchildcame acrosssomestrangemattersrecentlyfrequently, yousaid that iswhy?”
问道:“我外孙最近经常碰到些稀奇古怪的事,你说是为什么?”„Iam preparing saying that...... his hitsJupiter!”
“我正准备说……他这是撞太岁了!”Han Xuanonestartled, oneselfSnow Mountain Ranchdigs out a Jupiter, thisoldfortune-tellerdoes not know.韩宣一惊,自家雪山牧场挖出个太岁,这老算命先生可不会知道。
The old manfindshisexpression, thinksoneselffinallythischildfooling, happilytouched a beard.
老头瞧见他表情,以为自己终于把这孩子给唬住了,得意摸了把胡须。
„ JupiteralsocalledJupiterstarMonarch, 12monthsmovedonetime, separated for 12yearsto movegreatly.
“太岁又叫太岁星君,十二个月动一次,隔十二年大动。Thischildis just aboutto meet12now, this yearandJupiterto/clashes, possiblyhas the sicknessdisaster, if not reduce and solve, next yearwill be fiercer, will have the disaster of bloodlight! ”
这孩子现在正要逢十二,今年和太岁相冲,可能有病灾劫难,要是不化解,明年更厉害,甚至会有血光之灾!”„Thatwhat to do?”
“那怎么办?”Richlyis more superstitious, Guo Muzhouwas givento frightenbyhim, in this yearHan Xuanis the disasteris truly unceasing.
越有钱越迷信,郭穆州被他给吓到了,这一年韩宣确实是灾祸不断。Seeson the telling fortunesoldfacial countenanceto feel embarrassed, quite a whiledid not speak, knows that asked for money.
见算命老头脸上为难起来,半天不说话,知道是要钱。In line withbuying the safementality, Guo Muzhouputs outoneslightlyto fold the Hong Kong dollarfrom the wallet, probably2,000-3,000, givehim.
本着花钱买平安的心态,郭穆州从钱包里拿出一小叠港币,大概有2,000-3,000,递给他。
The telling fortunesold manappearancestruggled, passedfor quite a while, the deep sightone, pulled outstretch/openDiechengto gossipfrom the bosom, withyellow papersymbol that the red stringtied up.
算命老头模样挣扎,过了半天,长叹口气,从怀里掏出张叠成八卦,用红线绑起来的黄纸符。Wrote the record of one's horoscope of Han Xuan above, saidtoGuo Muzhou: „ Leadsyourgrandchildto go to the side hall, looks for the JupiterstarMonarchimage, knocksthreeheadsin the face of the idol, thenburnt.
在上面写了韩宣的生辰八字,对郭穆州说道:“带你外孙去偏殿里,找太岁星君像,在神像面前磕三个头,然后烧了。Isymbol that soughtfromMount Qingcheng, onlyremainedlast, thesemoneyIwill donatethatDaoist temple, thankedyouforthem. ”
我从青城山求来的符,只剩最后一张,这些钱我会捐给那个道观,替他们感谢你了。”Han Xuandoes not believefrom beginning to end, when the grandfathercontributed10,000toTinhau Temple, front somepeopleleadhimto look liketo more than 30centimetershighJupiterstarMonarch, helplessknelt.韩宣从头到尾都不信,等外公给天后庙捐了一万块,有人带他到一尊三十多厘米高的太岁星君像面前,无奈跪了下去。At this time the groundswayed, the lampgrow darkedsuddenly!
这时地面摇晃,灯突然变黑!However2-3seconds, shone.
不过2-3秒,又亮了起来。„Earthquake?”Han Xuanasked.
“地震了?”韩宣问道。Hisgrandfatherreplied: „Does not know,kowtowedquickly, knocksto burn.”
他外公回答:“不知道,快磕头,磕完烧了走吧。”Knockedfastthreetimes, with the candleignitionsymbol, burns down......
飞快磕了三次,用蜡烛点燃符,烧掉……
After theywalk, there is a middle-aged personto come here to sweep the floor.
等他们走后,有位中年人来到这里扫地。Discoversunknowinglyunusually, stares at the idolto favora while, thought aloud:
不经意间发现异常,盯着神像看好一会儿,自言自语:„Strange, howJupiterstarMonarchlooked likecracks......”( to be continued.)
“奇怪,太岁星君像怎么裂了……”(未完待续。)
