Chapter 8: The Stowaway

Although there were some small twists and turns in the process, this did not affect the joy of a bumper harvest of coriander and coriander.

Everything has been sold, and the Lin family brothers and sisters' bags are much lighter.

Coriander borrowed the hidden place of the grocery store to change the clothes that the coriander had brought with her. Her figure was not plump, and after wearing loose men's clothes, she hid more girlish features, except for the long braid that was obstructive to the eye, she really looked like a weak teenager, fair and handsome, quite likable.

The uncle of the grocery store learned that the Lin family brothers and sisters went to Shanghai to look for relatives, and remembered that the two families had some friendship, so he was kind and gave a soft brown leather hat to coriander.

Coriander put on a hat and put her hair in the hat, and she looked like a pretty boy!

After half past six, the Lin brothers and sisters came to the warehouse of the cargo terminal in the twilight and saw Jiang Fatzi again.

Jiang Fatzi seemed to be waiting impatiently, "Why did you come here!" ”

There is still half an hour before the agreed time, and the Lin brothers and sisters are considered to have arrived early, and the reason why this Jiang fat man is impatient is probably because he is afraid that they will miss the appointment, and he will get less money.

Coriander apologized to Jiang Fatzi with a smile, "Fat man, I'm really sorry, I've kept you waiting!" ”

Jiang Fatzi urged: "Hurry up and give me the money, I will arrange for you to get on the boat!"

Coriander took out the silver dollar he earned today, and some of them were reluctantly handed over to Jiang Fatzi.

As soon as the silver dollar was followed, Jiang Fatzi smiled, blew at the twisted silver dollar, and then reveled in the faint sound of the silver dollar, as if hearing the sound of heavenly fairy music.

As soon as the sound passed, Jiang Fatzi put the silver dollar into his heavy purse, and said to the Lin family brothers and sisters with a smile: "Okay, come with me!"

He turned to lead the way, his gaze swept over the coriander, and he couldn't help but pause.

Jiang Fatzi turned around, pointed at the coriander and said dumbfounded: "This, this, this...... Isn't this the girl you brought with you this afternoon! ”

Coriander was flustered, for fear that where the horse's feet would be exposed, Jiang Fatzi would see the clues.

Coriander was not in a hurry, grinned, showed a pair of cute little tiger teeth, and deliberately lowered her voice to learn the man's rough voice to speak, "Fat man, what you see today is my sister, my sister and I are dragon and phoenix fetuses, and we look exactly the same!" ”

Jiang Fatzi was suspicious, and looked at the coriander with the eyes of "finding fault".

Coriander didn't show any discomfort, and said "hehe" a few times as if she was flattering Jiang Fatzi with her hands, and tried her best to show that she was eager to stammer.

The people who were courteous to him were basically like this, and Jiang Fatzi frowned in disgust. Thinking about it carefully, the little village girl I saw today, her attitude was lukewarm, and the temperament of the little brother in front of her was not at all the same-

Jiang Fatzi gradually dispelled the doubts in his heart.

"Come with me!" Jiang Fatzi led the way in front, but instead of leading the Lin family brothers and sisters to the dock, he entered the warehouse.

There was not a single light in the huge warehouse, and through the night that poured in from the open door of the warehouse, you could see that the mountains of goods were like behemoths.

There were no electric lights installed in the holds, and the dock workers concentrated on daylight operations at all times, except in bad weather.

If something goes wrong, something must be wrong.

Coriander retreated in her heart, always feeling an ominous omen, glancing at the coriander in front of her, she found that he was also looking uneasy.

If you turn around and leave now, it will be cheaper Jiang Fatzi, and when it comes to the silver dollar in his hand, can you expect him to come back? Coriander is not happy to make this loss-making business.

Until now, we can only take one step at a time. As long as they arrive in Shanghai, they will break up with Jiang Fatzi, and it is best not to see each other again.

Coriander grabbed Coriander's hand and noticed that his palms were sweaty.

Coriander shook it back and gave her a determined look, but the turmoil in his heart never calmed down.

Jiang Fatzi's voice echoed in the gloomy black and oppressive warehouse, "You can give the fat man and I will prick up my ears and listen, and then you will pretend to be a dock worker and carry this batch of goods to the fat man on the ship." ”

Jiang Fatzi stopped in front of a pile of goods, and the goods in front of him were not piled up like other goods, but they were surrounded by a square pool, no taller than an adult's knee.

There were several people who looked like dock workers beating the fat man and coming over beside them, either empty-handed, or carrying bags.

The bag that these people carried away was the pile of goods in front of Jiang Fatzi.

Jiang Fatzi raised his foot and kicked one of the bags a few times, making a muffled sound of "dong dong".

"Hurry up, move quickly, start the boat early after moving!" Jiang Fatzi urged.

Coriander didn't think much about it, tied the light burden tightly on his back, and followed the crowd as a coolie, carrying a bag in both hands and one hand, and he didn't see him struggling at all.

Seeing that he was much neater than those who dealt with errands, Jiang Fatzi immediately exclaimed, and shouted at the busy people with a bright voice, "What you want is such a work attitude and enthusiasm, everyone follows this little brother to learn, and if you finish your work early, you can start the boat early, and you can also get to Shanghai as soon as possible!" ”

Coriander heard from his words that these people who came to move goods were not real dock workers at all, but "stowaways" who wanted to go to Shanghai.

She is not as powerful as coriander, she can carry two bags at once, put her hand on one of the bags and touch it, and through the dense cloth bag, she can feel that the bag contains a granular object.

These sacks contain rice grain.

Why did Jiang Fatzi have to load these rice grains on the boat at night?

This bag of rice can weigh about 20 kilograms, and the coriander can be held, but it can't be carried on the shoulder.

Seeing that she was struggling with a bag of rice alone, Coriander went up and put the bag of rice in his hand on her shoulder, and he lifted another bag.

Coriander carried the rice bag for a short distance before she was so tired and panting that she couldn't straighten her waist.

Coriander put the rice bag in her left hand under her right arm, and used her free hand to help coriander support the rice bag on her shoulder, relieving her a lot of burden.

He couldn't bear to let Coriander suffer, so he whispered to Coriander: "When you get on the boat later, you find a place to hide first, and when we finish moving these things and start the boat, you can come out again."

Coriander's heart warmed, and she answered vaguely, rubbed her sour nose, and nodded in agreement.

In her previous life, she had never truly experienced the warmth of family affection. She used to think that all good feelings would be torn apart and messy by "interests". After she was reborn, she met Coriander and realized that there was such a simple and unpretentious pure love in this world that could go deep into her heart.
