Chapter 32: The Porter's Work

"Brother Gao, are you all locals?" Shifang flickered with the flames and asked curiously.

"Yes, we are all local fishermen, but unfortunately I don't know why, over the years, the fish in the offshore sea have suddenly become less and less, almost can not be hungry, people say that the mountains eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea, but unfortunately can not run to the open sea for a meal of food and clothing, although our fishing boats here are strong, but if there are strong winds and waves, it is estimated that they can not withstand the toss." Gao Feng sighed and continued, "Actually, our group of brothers used to be fishermen. ”

"It's just our brothers, most of the porters who are now porters used to be fishermen." A man in his thirties next to him said, his name is Dong Hai, but unfortunately, the sea is ruthless, and he is becoming more and more ignorant.

"Life is getting worse and harder, and we, the fishermen who do our duty, have no other way but to eat this bowl of strength rice, but now the porters are all in groups, and even gangs have been formed, such as the Haitou Gang, and the good guys are occupied, not to mention the reward, and the relative strength is not much, and they are now in a good relationship with the official master, and from time to time they traffic some things from the sea, and life is better." Dong Hai chattered.

Gao Feng's expression was a little annoyed, and he said sullenly: "It's that I can't stand everyone." ”

Dong Hai didn't expect that just a little complaint caused Gao Feng's emotion, and he quickly explained: "Where is Brother Gao, if it weren't for you, even if I didn't starve to death, I would have been beaten to death by others, and now I can have something to eat, and Brother Gao also refused Haitou's invitation to help Boss Qian for the sake of us?" ”

With everyone's night talk, the moon quietly hung up in the middle of the sky, and the cold autumn mood cast a layer of white on the moonlight. Cloaked in this autumn veil, the moon shone a white glow, illuminating the mottled figures on the pier.

"Brother Shifang, you are new here, you can rest for a day and come back. We rely on this to eat, are we afraid that we will not bring you with us in the future? Gao Feng persuaded him, Shifang looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and children of this age are the time to grow their bodies, but unfortunately we sometimes even have enough to eat here is a luxury.

"Brother Gao, there is a sentence in what I said that you may not have heard clearly, brother, I am not very big, but I really have inexhaustible strength." Shifang symbolically rolled up the monk's robe, wanting to show off his muscles, but looking at the big ones in front of him, he put them down again, and he can always let you know when he works for a while.

"Okay, you follow first, but remember, if you can't do it, don't force it, the days are actually still long." Gao Feng sighed, let him try, it's better to retreat by himself, his original intention was to let him do some chores with potatoes.

As he spoke, the pier was already in front of him, this is the sea, the moonlight was sprinkled, and he could only occasionally see the broken moonlight swaying around in the black water, and the sea breeze was very cold, but Shifang knew that this was for his own physique, and for these porters, I am afraid it should be very cold.

Everyone drank a little liquor when they came, and the Xiao Ling of Gao Feng and the dock exchanged a few words of greeting and said loudly: "Brothers, work hard, this trip is well done, Master Zhang will be rewarded." ”

"Good!" All the men responded in unison, but they also had a different momentum.

This is the only wharf for strict food, in order to unify the deployment, of course the government has to intervene in one or two, and the Zhang in Gao Feng's mouth is the small order sent by the government, compared to several other small orders, this named Zhang Delong is quite fair, and he treats the porter equally, and the private friendship with Gao Feng is also good, and even if he can say some good things to the shipowner, sometimes he can also reward a foreign fortune.

"Since Brother Gao has spoken, if everyone finishes moving the goods on time this time, I will be in charge, and I will add an extra 10% reward to everyone." Zhang Delong said loudly.

Everyone applauded again.

I heard that it was a group of goods from the north, but since the owner didn't say it, they naturally wouldn't talk much, and the people who inspected it were all from the government, so they just carried it according to what the owner said.

Because of this wharf, Guangming Town has become the largest commercial distribution center for Yanshi, and there are certainly many kinds of goods. And through the ships near the dock, Shifang faintly saw that there were rows of cargo ships waiting to enter the port not far away, no wonder there were rumors in this small city of light, except for the rich, the most people here are porters.

Gao Feng and Dong Hai jumped on the boat, paved the planks between the boat and the land, these planks are more than one person wide, people walk on them, the planks will bounce around with you, the dock calls it the mandarin duck jump, people who can't grasp the rhythm of the mandarin duck jump, can't stand steadily, and if you don't pay attention, they will bounce you into the water. Gao Feng also talked to Shifang about these coming, but looking at the draft of the ship this time, Gao Feng was still a little worried, he gave Dong Hai a look, and the two followed Shifang without a trace.

Zhang Delong took a sip of old wine, complained, and then saw some conspicuous bald heads in the moonlight, and sighed, "This Gao brother always thinks about others, and it's right to be righteous, but it's a pity that even I can't eat enough sometimes, I really don't know where I get the strength to take care of other people's affairs." After speaking, Zhang Delong shrunk his neck and returned to the hut next to him, there was a charcoal fire in the house, compared to the outside, it was like two worlds, for the peak, Zhang Delong was still very relieved, so he was not afraid that the porter would secretly cover a bag or two of goods. It's just very strange, why did you suddenly send yourself here to be on duty, it stands to reason that there is still a while before you are on duty at night, but the county guard has promised a lot of benefits, and it is worth coming this time.

Shifang watched how other men carried the goods, and listened to Gao Feng say that the previous period had enough strength to carry two bags at a time, and then after an hour, it would be good to become a bag, usually the big guy could basically complete the task for three hours, and then go back to eat a good meal, and then sleep, so that the day passed.

Shifang didn't listen to Gao Feng's words, effortlessly picked up the two sacks, then smiled, easily walked up with the rhythm of the mandarin duck jumping, threw the surprised Gao Feng a "don't worry" look, and started his porter life.

The porter is very bitter, in the cold wind in the middle of the night, in the monotonous mandarin duck jumping squeaky moaning, in the boring loading and unloading and handling, gritting his teeth and holding on, this should not be the work of more than 20 people, but everyone understands that if you don't do it, you have to be hungry, today is a little better, a bald head who looks not burly follows everyone from beginning to end, sometimes, everyone doesn't even have the effort to squeeze a smile face-to-face, but the little monk throws a sunny smile every time, footsteps, It seems to be a little lighter, too. Yes, it's weird, not as tired as usual.

Shifang is actually very difficult, what he seals is not only cultivation, but also the moon-white monk's robe he is wearing, the faint spiritual power fluctuations on the monk's robe show the power of the immovable mountain spell, his current strength is actually just equivalent to an ordinary man, his legs are as heavy as lead, but the smile on his face has not changed, he doesn't want to be a drag on everyone, Gao Feng accepted himself enthusiastically, and he should try his best to reciprocate. Moreover, after all, he is a cultivator, and the root of his physique is there, Shifang thought proudly.

Don't think about how much goods there are, really feel the pressure on your shoulders, in the middle of the march, Shifang unconsciously slightly adjusted the angle of the force, further tempering his body, twenty-seven figures in the non-angry Vajra phase gradually appeared, everyone for a moment, suddenly felt a silent pressure from Shifang's body, but came fast, went fast, Shifang's body was light, not happy yet, suddenly an invisible "swastika" mark on the monk's robe flashed, and returned to the original state, Shifang scolded, Keep walking.

With a cheer, Shifang, who was sweating profusely, finally straightened his shoulders, and then heard Gao Feng's hearty laughter: "Haha, Lord Zhang, it's half an hour in advance, don't you break your promise, I'm a new good brother today, waiting for your reward to celebrate." Wiping his sweat, Gao Feng walked over with a smile, pulled up Shixiang and walked towards Zhang Delong.

"you, how can I, Zhang Delong, break my promise and take it!" As he spoke, he threw over a pocket, Gao Feng felt the weight in it, and continued: "So, thank you Lord Zhang." Turning his head, Gao Feng continued to shout:

"Brothers, thank you Lord Zhang for the reward, we can have a good drink when we go back in a while."

"Do you have any meat to eat?" Dong Hai asked with a smile.

", Lord Zhang is not alone, if you want to eat meat, you have to stay for three more hours." Gao Feng scolded with a smile.

"That's it. Don't eat the meat, put yourself in. ”

In the laughter, everyone thanked Zhang Delong one after another. Shifang was grabbed by Gao Feng and walked forward, and also saluted Zhang Delong in a regular manner, Zhang Delong said with a smile:

"Gao Feng, this new little brother is good today, I've seen it a few times, the new one is not lazy, he is the first one."

"That is, and I don't look at whose brother it is." Gao Feng heartily patted Shifang's shoulder, Shifang bared his teeth, and there was a hot pain. There was another burst of laughter.

Everyone divided some more drinks, put on shabby coats, and even Shifang was wrapped in one by Gao Feng, "Just finished busy, be careful of catching a cold." Gao Feng exchanged a few words with Zhang Delong, and was about to leave with everyone.

Suddenly, there were a few horn sounds on the calm sea, Zhang Delong's face changed greatly, and the sound of military horns? How did the rations arrive at this time? Damn, this is not my normal duty time, because I didn't pay attention to it because I wouldn't be able to contribute, so I didn't care, but now something went wrong, cold sweat ran down my forehead, Gao Feng's group of porters is already the last shift, and the military rations must be sent to the warehouse in half a day, otherwise the military law will deal with it.
