That night, Lei Jian and Xie Pengfei stayed in the firewood room in the backyard of Huang Ji Tea Shop. In the warehouse next door, there are still four porters, and the six of them will accompany the fleet of Huang Ji Shop to Huoyun Island tomorrow.

Lei Jian looked at the dirty environment in the firewood room, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, whether it is here or the "secular world" in the population here, the status level is all existing, and the poor and poor can only live in that kind of place with a bad environment.

Fortunately, when Lei Blade was a special forces soldier before, he had experienced any harsh environment, and living in a firewood room was not a challenge for him.

A night passed.

Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door: "You guys, you really think you're uncles, hurry up, you're going to sea!" ”

All six day workers were awakened by the sound. Thunder Blade stood up and opened the door, and saw a strong man in his thirties standing at the door, fierce and vicious, as if someone had burst his chrysanthemum.

The strong man was holding a big bag of steamed buns in his hand, and when he saw Thunder Blade open the door, he handed a large bag of steamed buns and the kettle in the other hand to Thunder Blade, and said, "You give them these steamed buns, this is the time before you eat breakfast, ten minutes, ten minutes later, gather at the door!" ”

The strong man's tone was very disdainful, and in front of the thunder blade, there was a feeling of superiority.

Lei Jian didn't speak, took the steamed buns and kettle, and after the short-term workers next to him came out, everyone started eating two steamed buns per person, and the kettle took turns to drink water.

Follow the local customs, and Lei Jian also eats steamed buns and drinks cold water with everyone.

Huang Ji Tea Shop is also too picky, the steamed buns are cold, and there is a layer of hard skin on the surface, needless to say, this steamed bun has been sitting for several days.

After hesitating for a moment, Lei Jian saw that Xie Pengfei and the others were eating with relish, so he had no choice but to follow suit, so he ate one and left one for Xie Pengfei to eat.

Xie Pengfei can not only eat chicken legs, but also eat steamed buns, cold steamed buns, he eats three, his brows are not wrinkled, Lei Jian admires in his heart, Xie Pengfei is a foodie, if he doesn't say it well, he is a rice bucket.

In less than ten minutes, everyone finished breakfast, got a bucket of water directly from the well in the backyard, wiped their faces, and then came to the door of Huang Ji Tea Shop together.

It was about seven o'clock in the morning, the sky had just turned white, and there was no one on the street.

Thunder Blade and a few people came out, and saw the eldest lady of the Huangji Tea Shop at the door and a young man standing in the middle, and there were two people standing behind the young man, in addition to the strong man who gave Thunder Blade steamed buns just now, there was also a thin middle-aged man.

"Miss Xiu, are you all together? How about we get going? ”

The young man was dressed as a blue warrior and had a sword pinned to his waist, and he looked handsome and dashing. When he spoke, he looked at the eldest lady of Huang Ji Tea Shop, and there was some unbridled ambiguity in his words and eyes.

"What about Uncle Yang? He's the person in charge this time, why hasn't he come yet? "The girl's name is Huang Xiu, and she is a well-known virtuous beauty. Since she was a child, she liked to do business, so this time her father asked her to go to sea with the fleet to experience experience.

"Steward Yang has already arranged for someone to load the goods at the dock, and it is estimated that the goods have been loaded at this time. Let's go. By the way, I have a horse, why don't we ride together? ”

The young man said with a flattering face.

His name is Chu Tiancai, and he is the leader of a mercenary team on Qingzhu Island.

"No, it's too far from the docks, so I'll walk over with you." Huang Xiu refused.

Hearing this, an embarrassed look flashed on Chu Tiancai's face, and he said: "How can this be done, we are all men, you are a woman walking in the middle, and others still think that I Chu Tiancai does not pity the jade." Well, you ride my horse, and I'll lead you, it's all right? ”

Chu Tiancai was stalking, and he understood Huang Xiu's meaning very well.

However, Huang Xiu still refused: "Captain Chu, thank you for your kindness, I am used to walking." ”

After saying that, he really walked to the beach with everyone.

Chu Tiancai touched his nose and stared at Huang Xiu who was walking into the distance, and snorted disdainfully in his heart.

"Hehe......"

The short-term workers on the side, seeing this situation, all snickered.

Chu Tiancai turned his head and happened to see Xie Pengfei next to Lei Blade snickering, so he hurriedly lowered his face and scolded: "What are you laughing at!" Laugh again, Lao Tzu, cut off your tongues and drink! ”

After a lifetime of drinking, all laughter suddenly stopped. The crowd had to move forward honestly.

After the three of them walked away, Lei Jian asked Xie Pengfei, "Da Fei, what is the origin of this Chu genius, is it very awesome?" ”

"Not really. If in the eyes of the Qingzhu faction, Chu Tiancai's three-legged cat kung fu is nothing; But in the eyes of people like us, he is a respected master. It is said that he has entered the early stage of the foundation building period, and he is agile, and he used to protect other caravans and kill dozens of bandits and pirates. There are also rumors that this year he is going to participate in the entry assessment of the Qingzhu faction, hehe, as soon as he goes, our competitors will have one more. And strong competitors. ”

Xie Pengfei loosened his nose, and he was very worried about participating in the entrance assessment of the Qingzhu Sect.

When the group came to the pier, they saw a large wooden boat parked in the harbor, the hull of which was inlaid with iron sheets, which looked a bit unusual.

There were two large flags floating on the boat, one flag was embroidered with the word "Huang Ji", and the other white flag was embroidered with a big word "tea".

Thunderblade didn't understand the rules here, but he was curious, Nima, what age is this, and you still use this kind of ancient ship? It seems that although this place knows the secular world, it does not seem to have introduced the advanced scientific and technological productive forces of the secular world.

"Is everyone here?"

An old man on the boat walked down, first counted the six short-term workers such as Lei Blade, and said: "You six, follow us to Huoyun Island, get over there, help us unload the goods, and help us load the goods by the way, remember, you must work hard, otherwise there will be no food!" ”

After speaking, he walked towards Chu Tiancai and said, "Captain Chu, have all your people arrived?" ”

"It's early." Chu Tiancai replied, and when he spoke, his eyes glanced at Huang Xiu on the side.

"That's good, get on board!"

The old man shouted, and everyone walked on.

"Da Fei, our caravan, what do you want them to do?" Lei Jian pointed at Chu Tiancai and his group of twenty people, and asked Xie Pengfei in a low voice.

"Brother Thunderblade, they are a mercenary team, so naturally they are protecting the safety of the fleet. You don't know, there are still a few days of travel from Qingzhu Island to Huoyun Island, and along the way, there is a possibility of encountering pirates, and they will need to go out at this time. Xie Pengfei whispered.
