Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Ghost of the Docks
Under the dissolving moonlight, the lights of Bindong No. 6 Pier are dazzling, bright and bright as day. A large crane is constantly retracting steel cables as thick as arms, lifting containers from a giant ocean-going freighter effortlessly, under the command of ground dispatchers, turning around and slowly lowering them on an open space, and then several shuttle loading and unloading trucks to a huge warehouse with a black hole and a large mouth open.
Beyond the tall and majestic posture of the giant ship, the shadow is enough to see a large area of woods. Steamers, large and small, tall and short, are quietly scattered on the rippling waters. There are several bright lights on each boat, which are as flickering and twinkling as the stars in the sky, and it is a beautiful and quiet harbor!
......In a messy office next to the warehouse, a phone rang like a life-threatening sound, startling a fat man lying on his back in a rocking chair that jumped up, and instantly pounced on the phone at a very disproportionate speed of his figure, grabbed the microphone tightly to his ear, bent down and said in fear: "Hey, boss......
After a buzzing sound like a bee's wings, the fat man nodded and replied, "Yes, yes...... Yes Yes Yes ...... It must be ......" said and stretched his neck to look at the hot unloading scene outside the window, and then said cautiously into the microphone: "Soon, it will be unloaded soon." Tomorrow? Okay, good, you must do it, you must do it! Someone will be sent to empty the dock by hand to ensure that no strangers are present. Well, well, guard the docks, guard the docks, and never let a fly fly in......"
At the end of the call, the fat man put down the microphone with relief, and stood there with a frown, the thick fat on his face shaking constantly......
"Ayong...... Ah Yong ...... "After a long time, the fat man who had just woken up from a big dream screamed like crazy.
"It's coming, it's coming!" With the sound of scattered and hurried footsteps, a thin "penny" was inserted straight in front of the fat man. The whole child is tall and graceful, slim and elegant, no different from a bamboo pole. The thin "Penny" looked down at the fat man's hippie smile and asked, "Boss, what's the matter?" ”
The fat man glared at the thin "Penny" dissatisfiedly, and said angrily with a gloomy face: "Go and tell those damn people to work harder, we have to load and unload this ship of goods tonight anyway." Otherwise, no one will want to receive half a penny! ”
"Wouldn't it? Didn't you say that it would be unloaded by four o'clock tomorrow afternoon? "Skinny" Penny asked puzzled.
"If you are told to go, you will go, wordy!" The fat man waved his hand and scolded in annoyance.
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go!" Seeing the fat man's solemn face, the thin "penny" didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran out.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" The fat man shook his fat and chased him out, and said angrily, "Are you looking for death?" Rush to reincarnation, isn't it? I'm not done yet? ”
"Didn't you tell me to hurry up?" The thin "Penny" stopped his steps and looked at the fat man with an innocent face.
"Inform all the brethren that they must come here early tomorrow morning and gather together, and no one shall be absent!" The fat man had no intention and "penny" theory, waving his hand and commanding in a hurry.
"Yes, yes, yes, and more?" The thin "Penny" was obedient and didn't run away immediately.
"No, get out!" The fat man rolled his eyes, blushed and cursed.
"Obey the Emperor's orders!" Thin "Penny" agreed, and immediately ran away like a whirlwind, shouting at the top of his voice as he ran, "Everyone, pay attention, you have to ...... tonight anyway."
The fat man waved his hands and muttered and cursed, walked into the room with great difficulty and slammed his legs shut, and closed the window with a "bang", blocking out the noisy roar. Then rubbed his forehead and sat down on the rocking chair, slowly closing his eyes as he groaned in pain from the weight of the rocking chair......
......The fat man who closed his eyes and recuperated suddenly felt that someone was patting his shoulder, so he pulled it with his hand impatiently, and scolded without raising his head or opening his eyes: "Go to the side of death, if you are in a hurry, go to help unload the goods, don't dangle here and disturb people's dreams!" ”
The sound of "pop bang bang ......" was unhurried and unrelenting, and continued to sound softly.
The upset fat man was provoked to a bullfight, angry, bounced up from the rocking chair with a "whew", turned up a pair of strange eyes, and shouted: "You are looking for ......"
Before the word "death" could be spoken, he immediately covered his mouth and stood in a daze, as if he had been struck by an evil spirit, his eyes puffed out and he did not move. He never dreamed that when a tall and sturdy masked man dressed in black would get into the heavy warehouse and the place where idlers were not allowed to enter. Is this making a movie? Or is it a big play? Only in movies and dramas can there be such scenes, such plots.
"You...... Who are you? Come here and think...... What do you want to do? It took a while for the fat man who had come to his senses to open his mouth, stammering at the masked man and asking.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." The masked man approached the fat man with poise, looked at him with a sharp gaze, and said, "But you have to tell me something, something very simple for you. After that, we broke up and went our separate ways. You walk your sunny path, and I walk my single-plank bridge. You don't know me, I don't know you, it's like nothing happened! ”
The fat man was startled, puffed out his eyes and hesitated and asked, "Then you...... So what do you want me to say? ”
"Tomorrow night, Zhao Zhihua has a batch of goods to trade at your dock. Excuse me, what kind of goods is that? Why is it so mysterious and solemn? ”
A plain sentence, but like a bombshell that fell to the ground and bloomed, it shook the fat man's face like earth, trembling all over, and his eyes were bigger than copper bells. He opened his mouth and gasped for a few breaths, and pointed at the black shadow in anger and shouted, "Don't you want to die? Boss Zhao's goods, you dare to make up your mind! ”
The masked man smiled coldly and looked at the fat man with sharp eyes.
"You don't want to die, I still want to die!" As soon as the fat man finished speaking, he burst into flames, swinging an iron fist the size of a bowl and smashing it into the masked man like lightning......
The masked man's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the fist smashed by the fat man, slid it towards his wrist, and squeezed it slightly......
"Ah...... Wow......" The fat man's wrist hurt and he couldn't help but open his mouth and scream. But he didn't want to open his mouth, and a greasy, slippery, and heavy oil-smelling rag was instantly stuffed in. The fat man howled suddenly, and his stomach immediately churned and squirmed, and then he kept retching "wow, wow, wow". He wanted to struggle and resist, but he couldn't move because of the constraints on his wrists. After retching in the dark, he was short of breath, his face turned purple, and he stared at the masked man with bitter eyes, and there was nothing he could do.
"How? To say or not to say? The masked man asked lightly.
"Hmm...... Hmm...... "fat man" replied, busy nodding desperately.
The masked man smiled slightly, let go of his hand, and ripped the rag from his mouth with a "swish".
"Wow......" A cloud of vomit spat out with the rag, dripping and disgusting.
The fat man didn't care about panting, bent down and continued to vomit like a river and a sea, until the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and he spit out a fat face into a purple and black old pig's liver.
The masked man shook off the rag in his hand and sat in the rocking chair as if nothing had happened, looking with interest at the fat man who was spitting so much that he almost vomited out his intestines.
After vomiting wildly for a while, the fat man who was dying straightened up and glared at the masked man with a pair of vicious eyes. The jealous and hateful look can't wait to swallow the other party alive, dismantle eight pieces, and swallow the bones and hairs into the stomach.
"Say it, it's good for you and me to say it!" The masked man didn't mind, sat on the rocking chair and looked leisurely at the fat man who was angry, anxious and helpless, nodded and said slowly.
"Who the hell are you? Did you really eat the bear's heart leopard gall? Do you dare to ask Zhao Zhihua about it in Binyang? Don't...... Are you ......" The fat man's fat face twitched, and a look of fear rose in his eyes.
"Less nonsense, sometimes it's better to be a little confused!" The masked man replied meaningfully, "Knowing too much will lead to death!" ”
"Since you don't want to say it, then don't blame me for being rude, anyway, it's a death left and right!" After a short period of weighing and hesitation, the fat man's eyes showed a fierce light, and he viciously jumped up a mountain, and Tarzan pounced on the masked man like a top. He wanted to use his height and fat body advantage to crush the bold masked man into meat sauce in one fell swoop.
The masked man reacted very quickly, his body moved with his heart, he rolled diagonally to the side, stretched out his hand to the ground, and his body jumped up like a spring, and stood up steadily.
The fat man couldn't regain his momentum, and smashed the swaying chair accurately with the wings of the roc spreading......
There was a "click", and the beautiful rocking chair was torn apart in an instant, falling apart, turning into ribs and planks.
The fat man opened his mouth wide, and a miserable scream was about to come out. But I didn't want my mouth to tighten suddenly, and the greasy and dirty rag entered my mouth again, and the left and right cheeks bulged like two big meat buns. It made his chest tight and short of breath, his eyes rolled white, and he fell to the ground with a muffled scream.
The masked man looked out the window through the glass and found that the loading and unloading trucks on the dock were running back and forth very lively, and the thin "penny" was shouting very energetically. No one even noticed that there was a life-and-death fight going on in the next room. So he was bold, pulled over a swivel chair and sat down leisurely, squinting at the fat man who was panting on the ground without saying a word.
The fat man was confident that his body was fat and had a brute force, and he took the initiative to attack without thinking about it, intending to take the lead and surprise people, but he didn't want the opponent to be light and flexible, and his strength was incomparable.
"How? Still fighting? The masked man pulled closer to the swivel chair, leaned over to look at the fat man with his head down, and asked mockingly.
A good man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him, and a fat man naturally knows it. After he gasped for a while, he tore off the rag in his mouth, coughed violently, sat up, and said reluctantly with a pair of bull's eyes: "I was killed by you, I was killed by you, if I was found by Zhao Zhihua, I ...... I...... I ......"
"Don't worry, I'll leave as soon as you finish speaking, and I promise that only God knows, you know and I know!" The masked man replied solemnly.
When the fat man heard this, his heart settled down a little. He looked out the window like a thief, lowered his head and said, "Actually...... Actually, what kind of goods does he want to take, I ...... I don't really know ......."
"What? You don't know? The masked man's eyes changed, and his gaze became more and more stern.
"But don't worry. With Boss Zhao...... No, no, no...... With Zhao Zhihua's personality, it is definitely either arms or medicine! The fat man hurriedly added, "It is estimated that the medicine is more likely." He used to do it a lot, and ...... And this time the number is larger, larger than any before. It's ...... Trade in that big warehouse next door! ”
The masked man looked at the fat man coldly, and found that he looked gloomy, weak, and did not look like a fake. So he stood up and said kindly: "Okay, I'll believe you once for the time being." Remember, don't talk to anyone about our meeting tonight. Of course, if you don't want to live, I can't help it! ”
"I won't say it, I will never say it, I won't say it if I am killed!" The fat man hurriedly promised, "I just hope you get out of here quickly and don't bother me anymore!" ”
The masked man glanced at the fat man, nodded slowly, and then flashed his body, quickly pounced out the door, and disappeared in the blink of an eye like a tanuki.
The fat man wiped his eyes vigorously and stared blankly at the still wobbly leaf of the door......
