The south of the Dongzhou Grand Canal is in this Yudong town, it is said that a long time ago, Yudong was just a small village here, and then the canal was dug and the south started in Yudong. With the benefits brought by the Grand Canal, Yudong has developed from a small village to a small town with more than 10,000 people today.

To the north of the town is the dock, where boats come and go. The south side of the town, now mostly populated by outsiders, is a slum-like place. The west side of the town is the prototype of the original town, and it is now a wealthy place, mostly inhabited by wealthy nobles. To the east is a barren forest, and further east is the sea.

The layout of the town is relatively simple, from the north to the south of the two avenues will briefly constitute the main traffic of the town, the east from the north to the south of the avenue streets and alleys close to the river, called the East Street, business travel more, lively and frequent, busy. The streets and alleys from north to south on the west side, separated by two or three houses from East Street, are called West Street, and the locals often call it Funing Street, because most of the people living in this street are wealthy and noble, and the street is relatively quiet, so it is called Funing Street.

In the early morning, the sun slowly rises from the sea, and the soft sunlight shines on the entire Yudong. At the north dock, the ships heading south from the north have begun to unload their goods, and the early morning workers have begun to move goods between the shore and the ships shirtless and sweaty. Who knows, when people are still asleep in their dreams, they come here early to start the day's work.

In the crowd, the two teenagers were very eye-catching, which was very rare among the workers and peasants in Yudong. I saw a young man at the age of sixteen or seventeen, tall and powerful, carrying four large bags on his shoulders alone, and the foreman on the side looked full of joy. Then there was another young man, who was holding notes and taking notes in a simple shed, and this boy was dressed in a shabby linen-gray garment, and was fifteen or sixteen years old, and was relatively thin and slender.

"Monsan, is it interesting that you say that you work so hard day in and day out? Look at people, who is not stealing and playing tricks, you are stupid," the slender boy said to the tall boy lying on the sack.

After a long morning's work, and now that he finally has a rest, the boy can't help but feel a little unworthy for the Gundam boy.

I saw that the young man named Monsan didn't speak, but just laughed a few times.

"What about you," the young man pushed Meng Shan with his hand and said, "I don't think it's worth it for you, look at your stupidity." ”

Meng Shan said: "Ah Feng, don't say that, this is nothing, the boss of the other party took us to work, we should work for him, where can I take care of others." ”

The slender young man said: "Forget it, I won't tell you, donkey head, you have strength, these are not good." ”

Meng Shan turned his head when he saw Ah Feng and said helplessly.

These two teenagers have been working on this dock for almost a year, and the two teenagers were originally residents of Yudongnan, just over a year ago, Ah Feng's mother fell ill and died, and Ah Feng lost his mother and had nothing to do all day.

This tall young man is called Zhao Mengshan, and Ah Feng grew up together since childhood, the older Ah Feng is less than two years old, and he also lost his parents early, because he is strong, he was taken by a boss surnamed Fang at the wharf, and found to do hard labor, so Monsan got up early every day and came to this wharf to work, although the money is not much, but food and clothing are not worried, and he can still leave a few taels of silver in January is very happy.

Later, he saw that Ah Feng had nothing to do, so he pulled Ah Feng to the dock, and begged the boss to take Ah Feng in, and the boss saw that Ah Feng was thin, so he didn't agree at first, and finally forced to Mengshan, so he reluctantly agreed.

But this Ah Feng is really not the material for doing hard work, Boss Fang doesn't want Ah Feng anymore, it just so happens that Mr. Ma, the bookkeeper who keeps accounts at this time, is gone, and he is looking for a literate and willing to do this job in Yudong, and he can't find it for a while. Seeing this, Ah Feng volunteered: I know how to read, you can try.

In the past, when Ah Feng Niang was here, he often taught him to read, and he also learned quickly and well. Boss Fang, in line with the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, called Ah Feng Ding, I didn't expect this kid to really know how to read, so this boss Fang transferred Ah Feng to be this bookkeeper, of course, the salary is still the same, but for Ah Feng, he doesn't care about this much.

At the end of the busy day, the two teenagers dragged their tired bodies away after a simple dinner at the dock, walking on the East Street Road, at this time the East Street is not as good as in the daytime, but very deserted, and the Yudong at night should see the West Street - Funing Street.

During the day, Funing Street is quiet, and at night, it is crowded with people, and the scene of the night market is fascinating. There were a few people scattered on the quiet east street at this time, but they were all heading towards the west street. There were only two teenagers, listening to the noise of the west, and walked straight to the south, and the young man touched his body, helplessly and depressed.

The two teenagers worked hard all day, their bodies were covered with stinky sweat, and they had no money in money, so they would not walk on Funing Street.

Monshan looked at Ah Feng and said: "Bear with me, there are still a few days before the salary is paid, and when the salary is paid, I will invite you to eat roast chicken." ”

Ah Feng looked at Mon San, only to see Mon San's innocent smiling face, Ah Feng forced a smile and said, "Why don't we have that good life?"

Meng Shan smiled on his face, and after a moment, he smiled as if he had discovered something: "Ah Feng, you go home first, and I'll come later." With that, he ran away.

Ah Feng watched Meng Shan leave, and he didn't know what he was going to do, but he just picked up a penny on the ground, and said as if sighing: "A penny is difficult to reach a hero, without silver, life is difficult." ”

Monsan left Ah Feng and walked to Funing Street Looking at the people who came and went dressed gorgeously, the young man did not have the slightest envy. In the same town, across the street, there are two worlds. The young man walked straight to the paving with the word "burnt" on the sail, and saw the young man say, "The boss has two baked cakes." Monsan pointed to the smallest one, which was less than the size of a palm, the kind that adults should sell to children.

Seeing this, the boss said: "Okay, two baked cakes, two pennies, the guest officer will take it." ”

The boy touched his body, hey, just now I still touched two pennies, what? I took out my hand and looked at it, there was only one penny left, and when I touched it again, I found that the original clothes were torn, and the rest of the money was fortunately not gone, and the boy was overjoyed.

"Well, boss, I want a cake," the tall boy said as he felt a little embarrassed.

The boss took out one full of disgust, took the money, and the young man took the baked cake and walked away.

The boy ran all the way to the south, and the road in front of him gradually became muddy, and in front of him was a relatively dilapidated house, which was the poorest place in the town, and the people of Yudong Town were commonly known as the muddy alleys.

In front of a dilapidated thatched hut, there is a crooked-necked willow tree, which is Ah Feng's home, and another thatched hut next to it is Monsan's home. There was a candle light in the grass house, Meng Shan was curious, he had always come back and slept until he came back today, and the young man opened the small gate of the fence and walked into the grass house.

Pushing open the door, I found that Ah Feng was really busy with Grandma Wang next door, and then looked at the room dumbfounded, only to see a beautiful girl lying in the room, Ah Feng saw that Meng Shan was back and shouted: "What are you looking at, come and help." As he spoke, Ah Feng at the door came with a basin.

Meng Shan came back to his senses, walked into the basin handed by Ah Feng, and found that it was full of blood, and a big guy was scared into a cold sweat, and took it out in a daze.

An old woman walked out of the room and said, "Ah wind, this girl I helped her bandage her wounds and put medicine on them, but I don't know if I can carry them." ”

Ah Feng said: "Thank you, Grandma Wang." Seeing the baked cake that Meng Shan put on the table, he took it and said, "Grandma Wang, you take this baked cake first, and I will pay you for medical expenses another day." ”

The old woman took the baked cake and said: "Alas, child, forget about the medical expenses, this female doll doesn't know if she can survive, if she can survive, you can keep the money to find a doctor for her to take a good look, this is some of the prescriptions I prescribed, you just follow the medicine, it's not early, I'll go back first." ”

The old woman left, and the young man said, "Monshan, send Grandma Wang." ”

Monsan sent Grandma Wang back, returned to Ah Feng's house, looked at Ah Feng and looked at the girl lying in the room and said, "Ah Feng, what's going on?" Ah Feng said:" Just when you left, I went home first, on the road I saw a handsome man in red gray clothes fighting with a few men in black, I saw that he killed the men in black, his body was seriously injured, where did he fall, at first I was also startled, looked closer, only to find that she was still alive, I saw that she was not like a bad person, like a victim, so I carried him back, and because I was afraid of provoking the bad guy, I went to find Grandma Wang, and later found out that she was a woman. ”

This Grandma Wang is also a family on this muddy alley, and her residence is not far from the young man's house, and she has learned some fur medicine skills, and the two teenagers have a disease or something like that, and they often go to her. Think about Grandma Wang is also a poor person, she has to go to the town to help people do some needlework at an old age, and support herself, Grandma Wang has a son, but she is a gambler, always wandering in the gambling house in the town, and almost never goes home to see Grandma Wang.

Meng Shan said: "Seeing that she was seriously injured, and the clothes she wore were expensive, I am afraid that she is a rich family, and I don't know who killed her." ”

Ah Feng said: "Don't worry about it for now, I hope she can survive, by the way, I won't go to the dock tomorrow, take care of her at home, you talk to Fang Tou, and you will bring your saved money to give me medicine tomorrow to see her." ”

Meng Shan said: "Yes, it is to be taken care of, well, what? You have to ask me to take the money out, ah Feng, that's what the two of us said okay, the money is for the two of us to keep for the future family, how can we use it indiscriminately, don't take it." ”

Ah Feng saw Meng Shan's resolute attitude, and immediately kicked him and said, "You are a ghost and a money fan, how can you see death and not save it," he said and beat him again.

"Do you want to take it, do you want to take it?" Ah Feng chased Monsan.

Monsan, who was not a hard-hearted person, shouted: "Okay, okay, I can't take it, but I can only take a part, and I won't take out the rest to death." ”

Ah Feng instantly changed his face and said, "Good Mengshan, I know that you are the best." ”

Meng Shan said a little helplessly: "Come again, at most take out a little more, I really can't do more, you don't think about it for the future, I still want to marry a daughter-in-law." After saying that, Monsanto no longer backed down.

Ah Feng knew that Meng Shan's heart was good, and he said that he would take it, and the two of them went to rest after cleaning up.
