Chapter 968: Manifestation
"In a moment, the ship will take you on board when it arrives at the dock. If you have a letter to convey to me, you will not be able to leave the rest of the time except for ten days of leave after the expiration of six months. Of course, the family letter is written and sent casually.
The salary is the end of the day, and after the first day's salary, you can send an emergency to your home, we have recruited more than one batch of workers, and if you don't understand, you can ask the people who went in front. Okay, everyone come with us now, don't get separated. ”
Zhuo Xiao followed the crowd, looking around from time to time. In the distance, Zhuo Xiao also saw the brothers who had been ambushed on standby, waiting for his warrant to act.
But for now, Zhuo Xiao has not found a problem with this caravan. Even if it is arrested now, it is useless, people can deny it. Therefore, Zhuo Xiao quietly gestured to the brothers, and then followed the crowd towards the dock.
"What does Zhuo Xiao mean?" a Xuan Tianwei in plainclothes quietly turned his head and asked, "Don't act for the time being, does he really want to sell himself?"
"Maybe he can't be sure that there is something wrong with this group of people until now, if they move now, we can only release them without evidence, and it is more likely that they will be alarmed. We will not move, even if we sail the ship. There were two groups of people, one staring at the boat and one staring at the group. ”
"Yes!"
The ship soon came to shore, and it was a small and inconspicuous boat. At least it's as inconspicuous as the other ships in the docks. The two splints were slowly lowered, and the recruitment organization arranged for the workers who had been fooled to get on the ship one by one.
"Huh, aren't you on the boat?" Zhuo Xiao keenly saw that all the organizers who recruited workers had stayed on the shore, and hurriedly asked.
"We're in charge of recruiting workers, they're going to take you to the site, and there's someone on the site who is going to be in charge of placing you. We are a regular business house with strict processes. Don't make a fuss, go up there. ”
Although the explanation was impeccable, Zhuo Xiao's heart rose for a while.
"Don't grind, hurry up. ”
"Yes, brother, if you can't go, what's the matter if you're stuck in the middle? ”
The laborers who did not get on the boat behind him made a fuss, Zhuo Xiao hesitated slightly, and had to step on the boat again. The ship was not large, and it was already crowded with more than a hundred people.
After the laborers got on the boat, the boat boss got off the boat and gave the middle-aged woman who was fooling Zhuo Xiao a big bag, but judging from the shape, it was undoubtedly silver. And this action made Xuan Tianwei, who was secretly monitoring, more vigilant.
"Boss, do you want to do it?"
"Don't move for the time being, see where they send the boat, and maybe, find all the people who have been kidnapped before. Send the brethren to follow in secret. ”
The boat left, and the middle-aged women happily left the dock with the money.
"Eldest sister, it's three hundred taels again...... This money is coming too quickly, isn't it?" said the two men with an excited smile.
"Don't just remember that the money came too quickly, but also think about whether it would be too fast when you lose your head. The middle-aged woman suddenly put away her smile and drank coldly.
"Big sister...... What's wrong with you? Why did you say that all of a sudden?"
"Yes, eldest sister, how can we lose our heads when we recruit for others?"
"What kind of virtue are you, what kind of virtue are we? If it's really recruitment, why don't you recruit yourself, but ask us to do it." Moreover, a person, three taels of silver, have you ever seen a recruitment with such a high intermediary fee?"
"So, we're like ...... What about the abduction and trafficking of women from good families......"
"Aren't all women of good families men?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head with a wry smile, it's really stupid, forget it, it seems that I should get out of it myself as soon as possible. Several people are looking at me today, and it looks like I'm being targeted. If you don't leave, I'm afraid you'll die in a foreign country.
The passenger ship entered along the Yellow River, and there were more than 100 people crowded in the cabin on the bottom of the ship, although the environment was very bad, but these young and strong laborers were very excited. Either talk about your children or imagine the future.
After all, the work of 300 wen a day is a good job for pie in the sky. Maybe in two years I will be able to build a new house for my family.
But Zhuo Xiao squatted in the cabin but maintained a high degree of vigilance, kicking in his arms was a jade piece handed over to them by Lord Fujun in plainclothes, if there was an emergency, the jade piece could be notified in time.
Having such a fast jade piece in his hand made Zhuo Xiao's heart feel a little stable. This boat is very unusual. Until now, the ship boss seems to ignore them as if they were really cargo.
Gradually, as the night wore on, the voices in the cabin began to become quieter, and many laborers leaned on the cabin to close their eyes and recuperate, and even fell asleep.
"About two hours, right? It's almost time. ”
Zhuo Xiao counted the time, passed sideways, and looked out through the gap in the side door. It was dark outside and the wind was strong.
Suddenly, Zhuo Xiao also felt a little drowsy, adjusted his sleeping position slightly, and prepared to lean against the cabin for a while.
Drowsiness hits, and the eyelids become heavier and heavier. But suddenly, Zhuo Xiao's spirit was shocked and he woke up suddenly. He is not an ordinary person, but he also has the peak of martial arts.
If he didn't want to, Zhuo Xiao should be able to stay vigilant for three days and three nights, but how could he be sleepy after only such a day?
After waking up, Zhuo Xiao opened his eyes, the essence in his eyes flashed, and he glanced around. In the cabin, almost all of them had fallen asleep deeply, and even a few had already screamed.
It doesn't make sense.
Zhuo Xiao's eyes swept quickly, and finally fixed on a candlestick hanging above the head of the cabin. Zhuo Xiao didn't suspect it before, but at this moment, this candlestick looked very suspicious.
The candlestick is a relatively luxurious thing in this era, and with the concept of normal people in this era, where you can not spend money, do not spend money. The laborers are crammed into the cabin, do they still need lighting?
In this candlestick, there must be something similar to a drug, right?
Although Zhuo Xiao squinted his eyes, his spirit was very alert, and he used his skills to resist the sleepiness that came from layer by layer.
Suddenly, the ship stopped. Zhuo Xiao listened to the sound of the wind and water outside, and judged that the boat did not dock, but the boat did stop. Pretending to be asleep, Zhuo Xiao held the jade piece in his hand tightly.
"Head, the boat stopped. Not far away, several heads crept out of the water.
"What must they be doing, do you want to go and see it now?" said a Xuan Tianwei in a low voice.
"Zhuo Xiao is alone on the boat, I don't feel at ease. ”
"Midnight, don't make a fuss, what are you doing by grabbing my feet?"
"Midnight, where is midnight?"
"Hey, what about midnight?
Suddenly, Xuan Tianwei, who made a call, instantly sank to the bottom of the river. There wasn't even time to scream. And this scene also happened in front of the eyes of several Xuan Tianwei.
Almost instantly, all the Xuantianwei realized that there was something wrong with the bottom of the river. But it was also at this moment that suddenly it felt like someone had grabbed their feet and instantly sank to the bottom.
In the dark of the night, nothing could be seen underwater.
Xuan Tianwei hurriedly turned to fetal breath, but his body had been grabbed and dragged to the bottom of the water. Xuan Tianwei hurriedly drew his knife and slashed at the thing he was dragging himself. But what came was something as stiff as if it had been cut into wood.
"Ahh
There was a muffled snort in the water, and the neck of a Xuan Tianwei was bitten alive. And then, one, two, three.
There were ripples on the surface of the river, and these ripples were blown away in the howling wind.
Suddenly, Zhuo Xiao felt that the splint above his head was opened, and a figure came from above. Zhuo Xiao squinted his eyes slightly, this person is the boss of the ship, he has seen it.
The captain walked to the cabin, looked at the sleeping laborers, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, he poked out his tongue and licked the corners of his mouth, and then gently opened several side doors of the cabin.
"What are you doing?" A cold snort sounded, and the boat boss was obviously taken aback, and turned nervously to look at Zhuo Xiao, who had already stood up.
"Why didn't you sleep for a while?"
"Aren't you disappointed that I didn't sleep to death, now, tell me what you're doing?"
"I'm afraid I'll suffocate you to death, so I'll stop the boat and give you a breath for a while, what's the problem?"
"We don't fall asleep because we're stuffy, but because this candle above our heads is mixed with drugs, right?"
"Quack quack...... It seems that you are not an ordinary person, so, are you Xuan Tianwei?"
"Who are you?"
"Who? quack...... It's not human!" When the ship's boss said this, his face suddenly distorted violently, and it became hideous. Two fangs grew and stretched long over the chin.
"Zombie!" Zhuo Xiao's heart instantly rose to the door of his voice, and the jade piece in his hand was instantly crushed.
At the moment of crushing the jade piece, a sharp whistle came out of Zhuo Xiao's mouth. It was a code signal for him to contact the outside brothers. The whistle sounded, and the sleeping laborers were awakened one by one.
"What's going on? Are we there?"
"Huh, where is this? Why did the ship stop?"
"Are you waiting for Xuantianwei outside? Because...... They shouldn't be able to come. ”
The voice of the boat boss made Zhuo Xiao's heart sink suddenly, and several laborers also seemed to have discovered the boat boss's abnormality. The green-faced fangs are exactly the same as the goblins.
"Ghost ...... What the hell."
Suddenly, a terrible roar sounded, and in the side doors on all sides, a creature with a cloak and a man and a woman who did not know the man or woman suddenly jumped in, facing everyone, revealing the appearance of a blue-faced fang.
"What the hell"
"Stop!" Zhuo Xiao burst into tears, and his figure flashed and slammed into a zombie.
Zhuo Xiao's palm force hit the zombie's chest like hitting the leather, and it collapsed with a bang, and there was no substantial damage. And the powerful zombie grabbed Zhuo Xiao's neck.
"Help, help."
A man was dragged out by the zombies, his fingers scratching at the ground, but the zombies were so powerful that he could only watch as he was dragged out of the side door of the cabin, leaving a few desperate scratches on the splints on the ground.
