Chapter 9: The Unlucky Boy

In less than half an hour, the "stowaways" completed the task assigned by Jiang Fatzi and moved all the rice bags in the wharf warehouse to the cargo hold of the ship.

Jiang Fatzi gathered all the "stowaways" in the cargo hold, sent them to accompany the goods, and sternly warned them not to run around, let alone damage anything in the hold, and if they found that anyone was dishonest, he would throw that person into the river to feed the fish.

The cargo hold space is already small, and most of the space is taken up by hoarded goods. More than a dozen "stowaways" nested in the remaining corners and corners were so crowded that they couldn't even stretch their legs and feet, and it became a luxury to lie down and dream.

The cargo hold is almost closed, and the hatch is at the entrance and exit along the wooden ladder. Probably in disrepair, the hatch door was not closed tightly, leaving a finger-wide crack in the door. The cold river wind slapped the hatch like a powerful hand, and it also poured in through the crack in the door.

The hull swayed and creaked, apparently the cargo ship had set sail.

Coriander and coriander occupy a position directly opposite the hatch, where there is little wind, and you can only feel the cold breath and the musty smell in the cabin, and you can't smell the stench emanating from some ferrymen who do not pay attention to personal hygiene.

Coriander gave full play to her brother's true colors, sat between her and the door next to the coriander, blocked a gust of cold wind for the coriander, and froze half of her body in less than half a night.

Coriander fell asleep with her head resting on his arm, and was awakened by a sneeze from coriander in the middle of the night, only to find that her silly brother was shivering from the cold in order to be a safe haven for her.

Coriander is both moved and helpless, although stupid people have stupid methods, stupid people have stupid blessings, but she doesn't want coriander to always have a tendon and her head won't beat around the bush, the only thing that is gratifying is that she is next to coriander.

It was pitch black in the hold, but Cilantro could feel that Coriander was not asleep at this moment.

She gently patted the coriander who curled her arms tightly in her arms, and whispered, "Brother, you go and move the rice bag here to block the wind for us." ”

"Huh!" Coriander nodded his head in response.

Coriander thought it was a good idea, and a wave of energy surged through his body, and he moved the rice bag to the coriander in the dark, and gradually built a low wall.

The body moved, people didn't feel cold, the coriander moved more and more energetically, like beating chicken blood, if it wasn't for the coriander to stop, I was afraid that he would move the entire rice bag in the hold.

Coriander touched here and there to pat it to make sure that the windshield wall would not collapse, and then sat back next to the coriander with peace of mind.

After a lot of exercise, Coriander didn't feel a little sleepy, and looked at the accumulated results through the weak light of the fishing fire in the cargo hold, and muttered to himself: "I don't know what this bag contains......"

"It's rice." Coriander voiced.

Coriander's body moved, and she leaned closer to the coriander and whispered to her, "It seems that it's not just rice, there seem to be other things in the bag when I was moving things just now." ”

Hearing this, the sleepy insects in the head of the coriander that came up with drowsiness were swept away. She vigilantly looked around, only heard snoring in the cargo hold, and did not find anything else, and still could not feel at ease.

She raised her index finger and put it to her mouth, and there was an imperceptible nervousness in her voice, "Shhh ”

"Oh." Coriander replied in a humble voice.

After a long time, he closed his eyes, breathed evenly, and fell asleep.

At this moment, Coriander has no sleep, and her head is uncontrollably turning and thinking a lot-

Regardless of what was in those rice bags besides rice, Coriander was not curious at all, as the saying goes, "curiosity kills cats".

She is a master who cherishes her life, and she will not take the initiative to hit other people's guns unless necessary.

To be honest, she had long felt that something was wrong.

First of all, Jiang Fatzi is very good at cheating, tricking, and opportunistic, and he is obviously an old fritter who mixes the rivers and lakes. He had a job in his hands, but he didn't ask a full-fledged dock worker to do it for him, because he didn't want to give him that job. Pulling some ferrymen on the street who can't afford to buy tickets for passenger boats but want to go north, Jiang Fatzi can not only make money from these people, but also let these people work as free coolies under the banner of righteousness, and load the goods onto the ship.

For Jiang Fatzi, this is the best of all three worlds, and it is no wonder that he is so taboo about women.

In order to hide people's eyes, Jiang Fatzi chose to let those ferrymen get on the boat at night, which is also reasonable. But doing so is really not in line with his fearless personality. There must be another reason for him to be so cautious -

That is the batch of goods that Jiang Fatzi attaches importance to.

Jiang Fatzi deliberately waited until it was dark to let people load this batch of goods onto the ship, but he was afraid that the mystery in these rice bags would not be visible.

The cargo ship traveled all night on the river and never docked, and there seemed to be signs of a day and night journey to Shanghai.

The smell in the cargo hold was getting stronger, and several ferrymen became seasick and vomited on board.

Coriander wants to leave this ghost place, but she is reluctant to be this bird. As soon as it was dark, she noticed at least two figures swaying back and forth outside the cargo hold door. They are so vigilant, where are they like ordinary crews?

In the corner of the depths of the cargo hold, there was a seemingly very clever young man who got up, he seemed to lack of action, from the back of the cargo hold to the front of the cargo hold, a short section of the road either stepped on the person's hand or tripped the person's leg, the whole person looked sluggish and clumsy, and the apology lasted for a long time before stopping.

He climbed up the wooden ladder to the door of the cargo hold, opened the wooden door, and before half of his head was exposed, one of the men guarding the door pointed a harpoon in the face.

Sharp iron thorns, and the distance of a little finger in front of it, will inevitably see blood!

The boy was so frightened that he retreated, as if he had forgotten that there was a staircase behind him, and when he stepped backwards, he stepped on the air, and the whole person rolled down like a snowball, and hit the low wall of the rice bag built by the coriander before stopping, and he wrinkled his face in pain and screamed.

"Are you alright?" Coriander was kind enough to help the unlucky boy up, but when he got up, he was pulled by the arm of the coriander, and when he looked down, he saw the coriander with a solemn face and shook his head at him.

The meaning of coriander is obvious, that is, don't let the coriander be nosy.

With a turn of her eyes, Coriander looked at the young man sympathetically, silently following the meaning of the coriander, and stood by.

The wooden door of the cargo hold was wide open, and the white daylight suddenly illuminated the entire cargo hold. However, suddenly it was dark, and a tall and mighty man stood in the cargo hold with his back to the light, erected a harpoon and knocked twice on the deck, looking like a menacing appearance, which was very intimidating.

The hapless teenager seemed unable to withstand the intimidation and became silent.

The man with the harpoon glared at the hapless boy with angry eyebrows, and shouted in a rough voice: "Didn't I tell you to stay here honestly and not run around!" You kid is disobedient, don't you want Lao Tzu to throw you into the river to feed the fish! ”

The hapless boy kept his mouth shut, waved his hands in a hurry, and shook his head like a rattle.

The man with the harpoon snorted heavily, and was about to close the hatch and turn to leave, when he heard someone speak, and immediately stopped.

"This big brother, you can do it, let us go out to breathe!"

I don't know who started first, and it immediately attracted a lot of people to echo it.

"That's right, you come down and smell the smell, it's like a pigsty, it smells so bad that you can't stay at all!"

"It's two days before we get to Shanghai, you can't let us settle these two days of eating, drinking, and Lazar here! We don't care, if we stain your food, we can't afford to pay for it! ”

……

Except for the disguised coriander, the cargo hold is full of men, even if one person can't make the climate, so many people together can give each other some courage.

In addition to scaring people, that tall and mighty man also understands some truth, he can't be the master of things on the cargo ship, so he went to ask someone who can be the master-

Jiang Fatty.

When Jiang Fatzi heard that something was going to happen to the cargo in the cabin, he was immediately angry, and immediately slapped the harpoon man to vent his anger.

He presided over the shipment of this batch of smuggled goods to the Shanghai market, and there must be no accidents!

Although this batch of private goods is not priceless, it is highly valued by the top.

If he makes a slight mistake, he will not only lose his prestige, but he may also be difficult to turn over. On the contrary, he is a little beautiful in this matter, and he will transport this batch of smuggled goods to the Shanghai market and safely hand them over to Shangfeng, then he Jiang Fat Man can be regarded as the No. 1 person in the Blue Dragon Club, and he is not far from the day of great wealth and nobility.

Jiang Fatzi scolded and scolded, "If something happens to Lao Tzu's goods, throw them all into the river to feed the fish!" Then he yelled at the harpoon man, "Go, get those beasts to Lao Tzu and drive them to the other cabins!" ”

The harpoon man who was slapped did not change his grovel to Jiang Fatty, he always had a flattering smile on his face, and after listening to Jiang Fatman's order, he said aggrievedly: "Fat man, there is only one cargo hold on our ship!" ”

After losing his temper, Jiang Fatzi calmed down a lot.

He tugged at the harpoon man's tattered collar, pulled him to him, and solemnly explained to him, "You go get those people out, and then I'll send someone to the hold to inspect the cargo." ”

was entrusted with a heavy task, the harpoon man didn't dare to nod his head sluggishly, and immediately went to complete the task assigned to him by Jiang Fatzi, even those people who were unwilling to go out of the cabin to breathe, he also forcibly dragged those people out of the cargo hold.

Coriander pretended to be very low-browed, and pulled the coriander to the deck, but noticed that after everyone left the cargo hold, a crew member quietly entered the cargo hold with everyone on his back.

After this happened, Coriander recognized two things-

First, Jiang Fatzi really attaches great importance to this batch of goods.

Second, the seemingly inconspicuous unlucky boy is deeply hidden.

This incident was provoked by the hapless boy, and Coriander discovered that he was not only an excellent actor, but also discovered that he had a skill in him-

The unlucky boy can ventriloquist and say that he wants to breathe, and he started it.
