Chapter 57: The Breath of Fireworks
In recent days, many workers loading and unloading goods at the wharf have found that in the past, there were only one or two merchant ships a day, but now there can be seven or eight trips a day. A good pot of broth was made into boiled cabbage, and for two days in a row, there were already three older people who were tired and fainted on the dock, so the Bai family also posted a notice that those who were strong and healthy could get five dollars of silver every month, and they would also be covered with food and housing.
However, there are still very few applicants, what they say is good, and the tricks inside are all old rivers and lakes, when who is a fool I don't know, the inferior broken silver mixed with tin, the copper coins with lead in it, the Bai family's current deep house compound, brick by brick, which is not burned out with the hard-earned money of the people under his hands. If it weren't for the Bai family's control of the Caoyun Wharf, everyone would really be willing to come to you to work hard, and the little silver for a month would really be tired to death from overwork, I'm afraid it would not be enough for a thin-skinned black lacquer coffin, so after half a day today, no one came to apply, and the two doglegs in charge of recruitment were so bored that they yawned, complaining about the damn cannibalistic world now.
I was about to fall asleep when suddenly a shadow covered me overhead.
"It's getting dark. One of them muttered as he leaned on the table, and when he looked up, he saw a hemp pole like a thin monkey standing in front of him, blocking out the sun.
This kind of person is now in Qingjun, everywhere in Wumei County, other big counties really can't survive, and even more so, the acres of land at home have long been ruined by the war, so they can only go away to the slightly richer Qingjun or the capital to make a living, fortunately, these people are not picky, because their hometown is not in Qingjun, and there is no one to rely on here, so they are tired to death, and no one has to avenge them. Many black-hearted people gather this kind of homeless people together, and then pack them and send them to the place where they are recruiting. Baijia Wharf has been exhausted to death three such ones, and in the end, it was just pulled to an inconspicuous place in the back mountain in the dark sky and hastily buried. People live for a lifetime, and in the end, there is only a grass Xier left, which is also a sigh.
The recruiter had a dog's tail grass in his mouth, looked at the thin man who had no two taels of flesh and asked: "What's the matter, you are going to work? First of all, let's say okay, five dollars of silver a month, six hours a day, three meals in the morning, noon, and evening, and sleep in the Chase shop behind the wharf. ”
The thin man nodded, very taciturn, and a word popped out of his mouth, "Yes." ”
"That's fine. As he spoke, the recruiter took out a piece of straw paper from underneath and asked as he drew on it, "Name?"
"Niu Erli. ”
"Age. ”
"Eighteen. ”
"Hometown. ”
"I escaped from Wu'an County, my family suffered a disaster, and I came to Qingjun to make a living, as long as I can eat enough, I can do anything. ”
The recruiter heard this, but happy, nothing else, this kind of honest duty willing to do hard work and low requirements, is really an excellent material for the dry dock, at the back of the people with a mouth, let a swarthy man lead this called Niu Erli to the back.
"Take him to have a full meal first, and bring three pieces of braised pork, otherwise with this little body, where will he have the strength to go to the dock to do hard labor. The man shouted at the top of his voice, as soon as he heard that he could eat enough food and meat, Niu Erli's eyes that had been cloudy finally became a little brighter, and he followed the leader in front of him to the direction of the dock.
"I said, how long do you think this Niu Erli can last. ”
"I see, in less than a month, this person will have to lie down, hehe, our owner is using people as animals. Not to mention anything else, it's only half a month younger, and there are six of us guarding this pier that can't hold on, two of them are buried in the back mountain, and the other four sneak out while it's dark, and they are gone. ”
"I can't guess twenty days, that kid must be tired to death, hey, it's all raised by his father's mother, and the young master can hug the beautiful girls in the mansion door, and eat half of the best ribs and throw them half, we can only suffer in this kind of place, where to reason." One of them complained, "Hey, but I heard that the young master went out and had a quarrel with someone before, and when he came home that night, somehow, he suddenly said that the bones of his whole body were in cold pain, it was not the reincarnation of the sky, and the retribution was unpleasant." ”
The other person hurriedly covered this person's mouth, "Okay, close your stinky mouth, if someone with a heart hears it and reaches the ears of the owner, you and I still want to have a peaceful life." Our Wumei County is good enough, and there are many local adults, because the county keeper is here, and it is even more prosperous than the surrounding area. Just rush to our Wumei County has his Dongping Mansion three big, plus the surrounding villages have a population of more than 100,000 or 200,000, the city rides a tall horse from the easternmost to the westernmost, and it takes a long time to gallop on the horse. ”
"How can there be so many people now, I heard the officials in the government say, our Qingjun has sent to the front in pieces this year, and recently even some of the officials have to be sent to the top, I am really afraid that one day the whole people will be soldiers, Lao Tzu has not married a wife, and even a girl has not been fished to send to death, I will not do it. ”
"Okay, don't complain, there are fewer and fewer people in the docks, and we have to set up torches tonight to rush to work, the three docks in Wumei County, all of them are like this, what kind of big business do you say the owner is going to do." ”
"You don't know this, not only the owner's, but also the grain and grass equipment from other big counties will pass through our docks for transit, and then there will be land routes to the front, or you think that our owner will not be able to eat so many goods. One by one, they are all big ships, look, they come and come again, and this ship has to be unloaded for at least an hour. Okay, let's take advantage of the idle errands of recruiting people, those hard work, why bother with it. As he spoke, seeing that it was getting late, and he didn't think that anyone would come again, the two of them packed up the tables and chairs, and plunged into the entire Pipa Street selling snacks in the distance.
The sky was lonely, and the gray night spread across a line to the west, and soon the last bit of light on the horizon was obscured.
After dinner and a busy day, everyone else went to bed early, only Su Qinghuang was stunned on the roof, no, not stunned. If there is really a martial arts road with advanced cultivation passing through this place, it should be found that at this time, Su Qinghuang's body is surrounded by extremely faint spiritual flowers, such as the breath of Daze water mist, and it is integrated with heaven and earth. It's just that this realm can't last long, Su Qinghuang quickly opened his eyes, exhaled a mouthful of turbidity, took out a red brocade box in his arms, opened the lid of the box, and what was lying inside was a dragon scale stone the size of half a palm.
This piece was obtained by Su Qinghuang and Wang Fugui in many ways, and it took a lot of effort to find such a piece, which is not the same as the three pieces of Su Qinghuang at the bottom of the river before, although the energy makes Su Qinghuang use a lot, but there is no such illusion and perception between life and death. In other words, except for the progress bar of the system to move forward by about ten percent, there is nothing else, and now the progress bar of the super system has reached about eighty percent, and the Tianshu Star, which was significantly faint in the past, has already brightened up at this time, and Su Qinghuang is eager to know more, more about the wonderful use of the system.
With a life span of less than two years, he can't help but care, but the initiator of these, that mysterious person, has no news at all on weekdays, even if Su Qinghuang shouts out his throat, he shouldn't make a sound, if he didn't know this person's ability, he almost thought that this thing was turned into dust.
People in the world don't often come into contact with martial arts, so if they want to buy spirit stones and magic weapons, they can only buy some elementary ones. Those high-grade spiritual treasures have long been not measured by gold and silver, but bartered, so to find such a little dragon scale stone, Su Qinghuang thought in his heart that Wang Fatzi was good, but now the blood color is long gone, and it has become an ordinary bluestone at the bottom of the river.
The mountain wind suddenly rose, the roof was windy, Su Qing and Huang Xing arrived, and suddenly fell into the courtyard like a shock, riding the wind and playing a set of punches.
At the beginning, it was just a simple Su family Kaishan boxing method, but if you look closely, in this boxing method, it is no longer as strong as before, the rotation is insufficient, and it is just over the easy to fold, but it adds a little sleekness. A punch is thrown, not only does it not lose the foundation of indomitable, but the dark energy contained behind it is enough to make the opponent suffer a dark loss without noticing.
One punch, one punch, Su Qinghuang felt the essence of boxing, as if it should be with the beat of the heartbeat, and the steps under his feet, the melody overlapped, and in the end, there was a slight emergence of aura, romantic freehand, Su Qinghuang's body was like a swimming dragon, suddenly rising on the flat ground, stepping on the willow branches, calming the inner breath, looking at the bright moon in the sky.
The night sky is deep, and there are bright stars floating in the sky, such as jade streamers, which has long been a commonplace scene here, but for Su Qinghuang, an outsider, he has seen a lot of gray in the sky in his previous life, but it has a different charm, and the wind blows lightly, bringing the fresh air of the mountains and rivers in the distance.
Everyone's room was already pitch black, but Wu Muxin's room, with a little oil lamp fire, flickering, seemed to be doing something secretly, and he was afraid that others would notice. Su Qinghuang's heart fell, quietly fell to the ground, his footsteps wandered, and finally his fingers tapped the door, but it startled the mountain birds that stayed on the door frame.
Because he knew that Wu Muxin hadn't rested yet, he didn't make a sound for a while, and Su Qinghuang was not in a hurry, but knocked three times unhurriedly, and then stood quietly outside the door. Finally, there was a very thin sound of footsteps in the room, from far to near, and then, the wooden door opened a crack lightly. Su Qinghuang saw that there was no one left and right, and squeezed in through the crack in the door with a light smile.
There was only a dim oil lamp lit in the room, and Wu Muxin was sitting at the table, making a black and white chessboard with the corner of the table, and there were already six or seven sunspots in the left corner. But if you look closely, the situation on the plate is messy and completely out of order, full of flaws, especially when the white child is surrounded in the middle, and it is not taken out, which is really not in line with Wu Muxin's temperament, and it is clearly placed in a hurry. I wanted to tidy up a little bit of broken hair on my neck, but my fingers trembled slightly, so I had to gather it on one side randomly, looking at Su Qinghuang, who was sitting opposite and smiling and showing a mouthful of white teeth, and opened his mouth in a gentle and polite tone.
"At this time, I don't go to sleep, I am still walking around in the courtyard, if you recover from your injuries and go to the barracks early, I will be clean. The more this is the case, the more interested Su Qinghuang becomes, and he only feels that Wu Muxin, who wants to cover up, is no longer a high-flying fairy, but also has the fireworks of ordinary people.
