57. Gratitude is hard to repay

This time, everyone hurried all the way, and finally rushed to Fenglin as they wished when they were in the treetops of the moon; In fact, if you walk normally, seventy miles, about three or four hours (7-8 hours), you can arrive before the sun sets.

However, because there are too many cards on the road, the three dogs follow Lao Li Tou and them, and they often can't walk on the main road, one will go to climb the mountain, one will cross the stream, one will enter the village and walk the alley, and some even have to pass through the hall in the house......

Just to avoid these centicards, some of these centicards are not much, and a hundred catties of things are only a few copper horns or a silver horn, but there are many centicards along the way, all of which are paid centigold, so this trip is considered a white pick, and even they have to paste money into it.

This is why there is the industry of pickers, other modes of transportation are difficult to avoid the exploitation of several heavy trucks all the way, and the cost of freight increases a lot, and most of these pickers are locals, they are very familiar with the detour, and it is relatively simple to avoid the trucks, so many shippers will choose to let the porters transport the goods.

I always watch the pickers escape the card, and they can't earn any money, and the bureau will arrange a patrol card on each line, that is, the swimming card, a few people wear uniforms, and walk on the road, and they go up to check when they see the picker team.

Fortunately, there are one or two patrol cards on a line, and Niu Gu has a good relationship with them, and when they meet, they will give a pack of paper cigarettes or stuff a little money, and the patrol card will be regarded as not seen, and they will leave directly without checking.

However, this situation is not common in hot days, it is too hot, who wants to earn a little oil and water under the sun, it is better to stay in the centika to rest and sleep. So this time the three dogs haven't met yet, but I just heard everyone talk about it.

More than seventy miles, walking in one day, and carrying heavy burdens, this is something that Sangou has never tried; In the last ten miles, the three dogs didn't know how they survived.

The first time I carried a heavy burden for such a long time, my shoulders were red and swollen, and it was not easy to change my shoulders, and the burden was like a thousand pounds of heavy burden, pressed on the stinging shoulders, and I quickly changed my shoulders after walking a few steps, but it was useless, even if I just changed it, my shoulders immediately hurt terribly.

The pain in the shoulder is still better, the pain in the foot is really called the pain, the bottom of the foot board of both feet has grinded out a few large blood blisters, each foot down, such as stepping on the needle, the pain of the heart, the pain makes the three dogs sweat profusely.

Seeing that I was going to be thrown off by everyone, I have survived this way, and I still care about the last bit of the road, otherwise I will be left alone, and I will feel uncomfortable, and more importantly, I will go the wrong way, in case the goods are lost or robbed, it will be a big trouble.

As soon as the three dogs came up, they clenched their teeth, held their breath, and followed everyone with their heads down, but fortunately, in the dark in the evening, everyone didn't notice the strangeness of the three dogs.

At this time, everyone stopped talking and laughing, and they didn't have any energy to laugh, knowing that there were only ten miles left, they all held their breath, bowed their heads and didn't say anything, stepped on their own steps, step by step, and narrowed the distance from the end point.

Finally arrived at Fenglin, there is a centicard, it is difficult to hide, this centicard is set up very thief, at the door of the wharf yard, the only way must go, everyone has to line up to inspect the goods, over the scales.

Fortunately, the owner of the goods here and the cow are very familiar with the people of this card, and often invite their leaders out for a meal and a drink, and the relationship between us is not bad.

At this time, the owner of the goods came out and went out with the cow to give each person a pack of paper cigarettes, or stuffed a red envelope into the head or something, and the centigold was much less, that is, a symbolic charge to deal with the inspection of the superiors.

After handing over the goods, everyone picked up the empty basket and found an inn, and Niu Gu was driven away by everyone, so that he could go home early to reunite with his sister-in-law; The turnip slipped away on its own, and went to find a good match.

Before the meal was served, Sangou was already paralyzed; This shop seems to be a place where everyone often stays, and Lao Li Tou went to pour a cup of salt tea and asked Sangou to drink it while it was hot.

After a salty and hot saltwater tea, Sangou was hot and sweaty, and his whole body was transparent, so he finally had some strength to wash his hands and eat.

After the meal, everyone took a shower and wiped their bodies as usual, soaked their feet in hot water, Lao Li Tou looked at Sangou, who was about the same age as the child in his family, and was so distressed that he took a hot towel and put it on Sangou's red and swollen shoulders.

Lao Li Tou also helped pick out a few strings of big blood blisters on Sangou's feet, took some medicinal powder and put it on it, so that Sangou could rest early, young man, and it would be fine to sleep for one night.

The next day, it wasn't until the third pole on the day that Sangou woke up and found that the redness and swelling of the shoulders had subsided a lot, and the bottom of the foot board was magically better, but it was a little painful to walk, and it was no longer in the way.

The inn has a meal and a pure residence, and the porters generally let the store supply meals together, so that the cost of food can be reduced; Second, everyone needs to rest more; The three people get together to act, and everyone can leave as soon as there is a job.

Otherwise, they will go out to find food in twos and threes, either go to the restaurant or drink too much, and they will lose all their money if they don't make a few dollars, which will not only hurt money and hurt their bodies, but also may cause trouble and unnecessary trouble, and when there is work to do, they can't find anyone.

Sangou drank the leftover porridge for breakfast, and it was a little hot, with pickles and steamed buns, and there were two big bowls; In the morning, I picked up a little and took the money I earned for the first time in my life.

In addition, I borrowed some money from Lao Li Tou, specially went to buy some snacks and fruits, children's toys and other things, tied a bag, asked people all the way to Niu Gu's home, offered gifts, and specially came to thank Niu Gu.

Niu Gu was very happy, and his sister-in-law Xiaocui greeted him warmly; After sitting for a while, chatting a few words of homely food, it was almost lunch, Sangou got up and said goodbye to go back, Niu Gu grabbed Sangou and didn't let go, and specially wanted to leave Sangou to have lunch together.

The enthusiasm was difficult, so the three dogs stayed to eat, unable to resist the brute force of the bull, and drank some wine.

Before leaving, Niu Gu came out to send Sangou, walked with Sangou for a while, patted Sangou on the shoulder, and said:

"Sangou, I know that you are a scholar, and you can't follow us for a long time to do this thing that has no future."

"Brother, I am willing to follow you, you saved my life, everything is yours", Sangou was also emotional.

"Silly boy, don't be stupid, your life is your own, don't want your own life if you don't move."

"Yes, I listen to my brother."

……

"Sangou, I don't ask you what kind of money you lost; But you definitely know that you need that money" ......

"I heard you tell the policeman that you are still studying, and you will start school in September, which will be a month, and at your rate, you will definitely not make so much money";

"That's it, when you start school soon, see how much you still lack, I'll help you make it up first, you take it to meet this urgency, and then slowly return it to my brother later, how about it?"

At that moment, Sangou felt as if he had been punched in the nose, sour and uncomfortable, tears flowed out uncontrollably, and he choked up and said, "Brother, I don't know how to repay you for your great kindness to me?" ”
