Chapter 317: Murder at Sea
After hearing these words, many laborers looked at me, I looked at you, and finally woke up from the shock, and began to fly towards the steward. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Oh, my God! 100 copper coins a day, which is twice as much as usual! And take care of the rice! As for the fact that it takes a lot of time to travel to and from the mainland, it is not a problem for them to consider, and even something they are happy to accept. Here, they may not be able to get work every day, and sometimes they will go hungry and can only drink gruel. If you can hire such a great master for a month, it is equivalent to three months without starvation, and there will be some surplus; The main thing is that the work of carrying on the ship is not very tiring. Because the cabin is wet, it is necessary to move the goods in the cabin out every day for ventilation, and then move in before sunset, just one round trip every day, and the rest of the time can rest. When did such a beautiful thing fall from the sky? No matter what, you must be picked.
When the steward saw the crowd rushing over like tigers and wolves, a subtle contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his slightly squinted eyes swept the dirty clothes of the labor gate, and his brows furrowed, revealing an unconcealable disgust.
"Stop! Don't rob! Everyone I ordered came with me! The steward snorted softly, and although the voice was not loud, not everyone was calm.
This is a rare employer with a lot of money, and it is easy not to be offended. Many workers subconsciously stopped, and rejoiced in the employer's decision. There was joy written on everyone's face, especially those who were old and infirm and had not been hired for a long time.
Fortunately, when the steward pointed to the seventh person, Chen Feng was selected. His body is not very strong, but he is already relatively tall, and he looks more mature when he wears a disguise mask.
Although Chen Feng has never been a porter, this job really has no technical content, as long as he has a lot of strength and is a little more flexible. Chen Feng quickly integrated into the collective, talking and laughing with others. Others are looking forward to a better life of eating, drinking, and sleeping, while Chen Feng is looking forward to coming to the mainland one day sooner.
In the process of carrying the goods, Chen Feng saw Dong Bang, Xu Hong, Xu Qing, Jiang Shan and Jiang Yun'er, they were walking around the dock, asking and searching everywhere, and they looked like they were looking for Chen Feng. Chen Feng looked at them and did not show up. Eventually, they searched several times, inquired about many people to no avail, and left in a depressed mood.
Farewell, friends, see you another day! Chen Feng silently blessed them in his heart.
Moving the goods to the ship, Chen Feng's journey to the mainland began.
In the first few days, Chen Feng's days on the ship were as tasteless as the daily lack of fresh water.
Because of the monotony, the coolies on the ship began to talk about women and began to gamble money, while Chen Feng sat cross-legged in a corner of the cabin, pretending to doze off, and was really cultivating.
In the evening, it was overcast. As the night covered the sea, it finally started to rain outside.
This was the first heavy rainstorm Chen Feng experienced on this trip.
The sailors on the ship suddenly became busy, and the cargo ship was at sea, and what they were most afraid of was the storm.
In contrast to the sailors, the coolies on board cheered. They had just finished their work, and if it continued to rain tomorrow, they wouldn't need to carry it. People are inert, and the comfortable life on the ship makes them feel that the two trips a day are also troublesome, and they don't think about the value of their existence on the ship.
Chen Feng had been on the ship for several days, and it was already clear that the cargo ship had hit some special errands on Red Maple Island, such as tea, grain, and some bulky ceramics. Tea leaves and grains are needed to go outside for ventilation or drying every day.
The raindrops of soybeans formed a huge waterfall, accompanied by the sound of the wind, sweeping over the sky. From time to time, the dark sky was swept by zigzag lightning, like a fiery snake, burrowing into the deep sea.
The waves were raging, the thunder rumbled and roared among the clouds, and standing on the swaying ship, it felt like the thunder mother was about to tear the cargo ship apart. When the lightning disappeared, the boundless darkness filled everything, and the sound of rain filled the ears.
Chen Feng was cultivating, but when the roaring thunder sounded, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He climbed out of the cabin and looked outside, just as a bolt of lightning flashed, and he saw a dark shadow flash across the ship.
"What is this?" Chen Feng only felt that the speed of the black shadow was very fast, but he couldn't guess who it was.
"Why did the lights go out?"
"Who took Lao Tzu's copper plate?"
"Fuck, who's going to hit me?"
For some unknown reason, the lights in the cabin suddenly went out, and the inside suddenly became a mess.
There was no light, and the showers on the ship seemed to "crackle" even more, and the mast was "squeaked" and shook by the wind.
Another flash of lightning, and a figure flashed again.
Chen Feng ignored the heavy rain and got on the boat to look around. It's just that the speed of the black shadow is too fast, and Chen Feng can't keep up at all if he doesn't use secret techniques.
"Ahh Dead! There were a few screams from the cabin, and even a few porters rushed out of the cabin in excitement.
The light had been lit, and Chen Feng ran over to take a look, only to see a porter who was still gambling just now lying on the ground, covered in blood, with a big hole in his chest, and his heart was actually dug out alive. What's even more strange is that the man is not dead yet, and he is still making painful gasps in his throat, and he is struggling to raise his hand and point in the direction of the outside of the cabin.
It seems that the murderer was too fast when he killed the person, which caused the person not to die immediately.
Chen Feng was close to his mouth, but he still couldn't hear what he said. After two struggles, the man died.
"It's someone from outside." Chen Feng muttered to himself.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the ship's guards, and after a while, the steward arrived at the cabin with a few of the guards.
"What's going on?"
The porters immediately began to babble.
"Don't say it all. You," the steward asked, pointing to a more astute-looking man, "you're the first to find a body, aren't you?" Come on! ”
"We were playing dominoes just now, and when we were happy, the lights suddenly went out. Then somebody stole the money, and we got into a mess. Who would have thought that suddenly there would be a miserable howl. When we lit the lamp, we found him lying on the ground, covered in blood. But at that time he was not dead, his mouth kept moving, but he could no longer speak. ”
The steward asked a few more questions, and then ordered a few of the guards to look around the ship, while he stayed here with four of his own guards.
"You guys stay here and don't move. Until the killer is found, he is not allowed to leave the cabin. ”
"But there are dead people here...... said the faint-hearted man with a wince.
"Where the fuck are you talking so much nonsense!" One of the guards slapped the man and immediately knocked the man to the ground.
Another guard stepped forward and threw a questioning expression at the steward. The steward nodded.
With permission, the guard carefully pulled out a pouch from his bosom and pulled out a red stone the size of an egg, and in the middle of the stone was a more rainbow-like eye-like pattern. Chen Feng had nothing to do, and would flip through the book he bought from Guanlan City, and his knowledge had also increased. When I saw this strange stone, I couldn't help but think of a strange stone that was mentioned in the book. "Bloodshot eyes?" Chen Feng said silently in surprise.
