Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Emperor's Strategist and the Tramp
Carrying another bag to the opposite side, Lu Shan sat next to him to rest, really tired.
This is manual work, and ordinary people really can't do it.
Now is the time to rest, and every few trips there will be a time to rest.
The other porters finished moving before him, and were already sitting next to him to rest.
"Hiss~" Suddenly, one of them was holding his stomach with a painful expression.
"Old Yang, it's okay." The person next to him said with concern.
It's just that Lao Yang himself was so painful at this time that he couldn't speak.
"I told you not to come, it's not good to break your body." The person next to him said anxiously.
"What's wrong with him?" Lu Shan went up and asked.
"Lao Yang has a problem, he will have a stomachache on a rainy day, but there is no way, the family of five is waiting for food, and if he doesn't work, he will starve to death."
He was stunned, he would starve to death if he didn't work, how striking this sentence was.
Now he is not like this, but he is so hungry that he can still talk to the shopkeeper with a shy face.
Lao Yang is the only man in the family, and without him, half of the whole family will collapse, like a sky collapse.
"He, he just wants his daughters to live a good life, and those children are not sensible, it is obviously so difficult to be a father, and he has to ask the family for money for a little vanity."
His heart shook suddenly, and an inexplicable discomfort filled his whole heart.
What was it like, he seemed to feel the end of the world, and the last time this feeling appeared was when the sun disappeared for the first time.
It's the end of the world, the end of the world for ordinary people.
Didn't these things happen before, but they've always existed.
Whether it is the family of the past or the world of the present, the end of the world is happening all the time.
The end of the world for ordinary people is so unsightly that the world can't see it.
He ...... He's ...... This one...... Usually no, no, no...... Thing. He asked, stammering.
"It's usually fine, but it's just a rainy day."
For a moment, he wanted to ask why he didn't see a doctor, but as soon as he wanted to say it, he slapped himself twice in the face.
Why not eat minced meat, you can afford to see a doctor and still do the hard work here day and night.
At this time, he was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything else for a long time, even if he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything.
"I ...... It's okay, go ahead...... "Lao Yang is a middle-aged man who looks like he is forty or fifty years old, with a wrinkled face, and he is tired at this time.......
"You rest, I'll carry it for you."
"No...... Yes. ”
"Don't, it's not going to work, just remember to give it back to me later."
"Okay, everyone will continue to work, Lao Yang, you rest." This person is the one who has been talking to him before.
"What do you call it?" Lu Shan asked.
"Me? Everyone calls me Lao Li, and you call me that. The man said.
Lu Shan felt that he was different from everyone here, and he was different from him.
"Our old Li is the descendant of Tang King Li Shimin, okay." One person teased.
The others also laughed, even Lao Yang, who was sitting on the ground, was laughing.
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know who my ancestors are, maybe my ancestors are selling baked cakes." Lao Li said.
"That must be an emperor of baked cakes, and an emperor."
"It's okay hahaha." A burst of laughter ensued.
The people who were originally tired were relaxed after laughing.
Lu Shan knows where Lao Li is different, he is more like a leader, a natural leader, who can handle the relationship with other people very well.
This kind of thing is not possessed by Zhang Xiangcheng and Bai Youran, he is more like a natural king of the world, and he is also a benevolent king.
Wang Shengyang is not as good as him in Lu Shan's eyes, Wang Shengyang is more like a strategist.
As for Lu Shan himself, he felt that he was a homeless man, and now he finally learned to stop in one place and start begging for a living.
He smiled too, and smiled very happily, very happily.
Originally, I was tired and hard, and I worked, but because of Lao Li, I became happy.
This Lao Li is also strange, one person can carry two people's things.
But the degree of pain on his face is the same as carrying a bag, and he is tired of carrying things.
Almost half of the stuff has been carried, and there is the other half.
Lu Shan staggered in the rain, and suddenly he was in severe pain and fell to the ground.
When he still had some strength, he controlled what he was carrying not to hit himself.
He was rolling in the rain in pain, but he also had a problem with rainy days.
It hurts all over my body when it rains, and I didn't react for so long before, I thought it was okay, but now it seems that I can't escape.
Maybe it's because of the exertion, his body is too fragile.
"What's wrong with you?" Empty-handed Lao Yang came over to ask.
Lu Shan was also speechless like him just now, just rolling in the water vigorously.
"Fault." After the others finished transporting the things, they also came to visit, and the overseer also came, and he knew Lao Yang's problem.
So he didn't come here before, but Lu Shan is new here, and he doesn't know what the situation is.
"Carry it to a place where there is no rain first." Lao Li said, and several people carried Lu Shan to a dry place together.
"Everyone else is continuing to work, and if you can't finish it today, you will have to deduct money." Overseer said.
Everyone else also understands this, and they all go to work, Lao Yang is almost as good as he is, and he also goes to work and asks others to help him, and he is embarrassed to be an old cheek.
"What's going on with you?" The overseer lit a cigarette and asked with a frown, it is impossible to accept people with faults all the time.
Lu Shan breathed a sigh of relief and told him about his experience.
“…… A shopkeeper saved me, and I survived. Lu Shan said.
"It's a pity, you have already become a master, but I didn't expect to experience this kind of thing." The overseer said and pulled out his wallet.
"It's impossible for me to take in so many people with problems here, you can take the money and leave."
Originally, he wanted to do it for a while longer, but now it seems that he has no chance, and he can't expect the pity of others, everyone has their own difficulties.
"Okay." He said.
Watching the overseer take out a hundred-dollar face value, his hand shook a little, and his brows were furrowed with the feeling of wanting to take it out but not wanting to take it out.
In the end, he put the 100 yuan in it, took out a 50 yuan note, and handed it to Lu Shan.
"These are already excessive, I can't give you more." Overseer said.
As a result, he didn't actually help much with this money, which was really enough.
"Thank you." He said with the money in his hands folded.
"It's time for me to go, I'll see you again." He stood up and walked away in the rain.
Without saying hello to the others, he quietly left.
Lu Shan is such a person, he didn't say a word when he came, and he didn't say a word when he left.
Wherever you go, anyway, after walking through the mountains and rivers, the past feelings will be forgotten, and there is no need to remember.
He took the money and thought in his heart that he could finally eat, and eating and sleeping in this world is the most important thing.
No prosperity in the world is as good as a bowl of steaming rice.
"When that kid left, he didn't tell us." One person said.
"He took the money and left, don't care about those of you who have only met once." Overseer said.
Lao Li did see him, his back was very lonely, this may be a lonely figure.
After a journey, he was the only one in the end.
It's obviously a young man, but his back looks so down.
In fact, it was not only Lu Shan who looked at Lao Li, but Lao Li also looked at Lu Shan.
They are the most ordinary, but somewhat special people among all living beings.
So Lu Shan recognized Lao Li at first sight, and Lao Li could also recognize the difference between Lu Shan.
"This young man, he's always been alone." Lao Li said suddenly.
"You know that? Do you know him? The person next to him asked.
"I don't know, but I've seen his back, it's not like a person with a warm home, he's wandering." After Lao Li finished speaking, he was silent for a long time.
Lu Shan himself didn't have these hypocrisy, and he didn't care whether he was wandering or not, and went straight to the hotel after getting the money.
He was finally able to eat, and his heart was a little excited.
The thought of a steaming meal warmed up to him.
"Boss, give ...... I'll have a table of dishes. Just a little bit, the word "uncle" blurted out.
"What are you yelling about?" The shopkeeper was a woman in her thirties, who should have been disturbed by her dreams at this time, and looked at Lu Shan impatiently.
Looking at her appearance, he immediately lost any arrogance, like a kitten who had been smoothed out of the cat.
"What do you want?" She said.
"If you want to stir-fry, within fifty yuan, try to serve as many as possible." He obediently ordered.
"No, another one."
"Then have a bowl of noodles, don't hang noodles, but have strong noodles." He said.
"No, only somen noodles, do you like to eat them or not." The landlady was unceremonious.
......He doesn't like to eat somen noodles, but he has no choice at this point.
"Hunger does not choose food, hunger does not choose food." He whispered to himself.
"Alright then, let's have a somen noodle." Some of them are good to eat, but it doesn't matter if you like it or not.
"A fifty, love or not."
"Okay!" He gritted his teeth and agreed.
He was going to go to the high-energy stack, of course, he had to go again when he was full, but he didn't expect this boss to be so pitiful, this woman......
The boss is also surprised, why is this kid so ignorant, isn't her meaning obvious, she doesn't want to cook anymore.
But everyone is willing to pay a high fee of fifty yuan, and of course they have to cook for him.
"Okay, you wait, I'll go to the next strip." In fact, she didn't lie, the ingredients in the store had long been used up, and only the somen noodles she usually ate were left.
The shop is still open for people who come to deliver ingredients.
She didn't say it, and Lu Shan didn't know either, she just felt that this old woman was really pitted.
He doesn't want to make any mistakes in the high-energy stack, so no matter how small the problem is, he must solve it first, after all, it is the first time to enter the high-energy stack.
In order not to be killed at first sight after entering, you must be prepared.
After a while, the noodles came out.
