The wharf in Tongguan County is crowded with people, and there is an inland river leading to here, which is the Luo River. Mule carts are loaded with goods, and their destination is this dock, where they are loaded onto ships and transported to various places.

It's not yet lunchtime, but many people are already hungry. The excessive physical labor made the pitiful little thing they ate in the morning long ago, and it was a heavy burden on their backs to support their tired bodies from falling.

"Da Zhuang, don't move two bags, you can't hold it." The person who spoke was Han Tiezhu, and he was talking to a man who was half-squatting.

"Brother Tiezhu, I'm fine, help me move up." Han Dazhuang is the big strong in Han Tiezhu's mouth, as his name suggests, he is indeed strong.

"You're asking for money and dying, aren't you?" Han Tiezhu gritted his teeth and said to him, more angry at him. None of the people who eat here are short of money, but there is no one like him, as long as the money does not want to die.

"Brother Tiezhu, I'm sorry for you, don't waste time, the people behind you are still waiting!" Han Dazhuang glanced cautiously, waiting behind him for the person carrying the bag.

"Stay safe yourself, don't hold on." Han Tiezhu also knew what kind of character the other party was, and he also understood that he couldn't pull back this stubborn donkey.

Tang Shiyu, who had already set up the stall, was sitting boredly on the side, watching the people on the dock. Her eyes swept inadvertently to a large, tall figure, crouching down to face her, a man carrying the sack on his back.

She thought it was over, and just wanted to look away, but she didn't expect another sack to fall on his back. I saw that his right hand was against the ground, and his left hand was holding the corner of the top sack.

From a short distance, she saw that his face was swollen and red, and she seemed to be able to make out the green tendons on his neck and arms. She just wanted to sigh with good strength, but she saw that half of his exposed calf was trembling slightly.

From him, she seemed to see the self of yesterday, and was she like this in the eyes of others? A strong man can make others feel a little sympathy, not to mention that she is still a woman.

She quickly shook her head, she didn't like to be sympathized with her, at that time she was not only to make money, but also to exercise, and she must have the potential of people to be tapped.

Tang Shiyu looked at him leisurely and found that the other party was trembling more and more. It shows that his physical strength has reached the limit, so why doesn't he throw away the things on his body?

At this time, Han Dazhuang was sweating like rain, and his heavy legs made him unable to take a step, but he was still supported by his gritted teeth. He told himself he had to hold on, and he took another steady step.

But the foot behind him couldn't be retracted, and his whole body fell forward. It was too late for him to throw the two sacks down, so he could only close his eyes helplessly, and said in his heart, "My life is over."

The sack on his back weighed almost two stones, and if he fell, something so heavy would have fallen on him. He is not afraid of death, but he is the pillar of the family, and if he falls, the sky of his family will fall.

Suddenly, two more hands were added to his two arms, and they held his falling body steadily. He fixed his eyes and saw that his hands were like soft wattles and his skin was like clotted fat, and it was such a pair of hands that rescued him from danger.

is such a pair of hands that changed his fate, until Han Dazhuang's life came to an end, he would still remember today's scene.

"Are you stupid, you can't move it?" The person who caught him was Tang Shiyu, she ran over when she saw that he was not in the right situation from a distance, but she didn't expect the time to be just right.

"Thank you, girl!" Han Dazhuang hadn't raised his head yet, he was close to the two hands of the seeming person, he thought that such a beautiful hand must be a girl's, but he forgot at this time, how could a girl have so much strength to catch him.

"You're blind! Lao Tzu is a man, you can't see it! Although her identity was recognized, she scolded the other party without changing her face.

"I'm sorry, I ......" how can a man be recognized as a girl if someone has a life-saving grace for him? Isn't that an insult to a man? If it weren't for the two sacks on his back, he would definitely bow 90 degrees and admit his mistake to the other party.

"Da Zhuang, it's okay!" Han Tiezhu had been paying attention to Han Dazhuang's side, and when he found that the situation was wrong, he immediately ran over and unloaded the sack on Han Dazhuang's body.

"Brother Tiezhu, I'm fine, it was this Engong who saved me." Han Dazhuang just turned his head after saying something to Han Tiezhu, and just happened to see Tang Shiyu who had left.

"It's really a fool's luck, if it weren't for that little brother's kindness to save you, your little life would not be dead or crippled. If you have three long and two short, what do you let your aunt do? "They are from the same village, and he knows the situation of Han Dazhuang's family best.

He also wants to help the other party, but he can't protect himself, and he is all a poor person.

Han Dazhuang's father died early, and Han's mother, a widow, pulled six children, and the hardships can be imagined. The eldest son is Han Dazhuang, who was just able to stand up to the door, but Han's mother was sick.

The most fearful thing for the poor is to get sick, and a sick seedling is like a bottomless pit, no matter how much money is thrown into it, not a single sound can be heard.

Han Dazhuang's younger brothers and sisters are all half-grown at the age of eating Lao Tzu to death. The burden of the whole family was deeply pressed on this man's body, and he could only grit his teeth.

"Brother Tiezhu, can I trouble you again." Han Dazhuang's honest and honest Korean Tiezhu smiled.

"You carry a bag, I'll help you carry a bag, hurry up or the person in charge will talk again." Han Tiezhu quickly put a sack on Han Dazhuang's back, and then he half-squatted down by himself, gritting his teeth and falling the whole sack on his back.

The first thing to work here is to be in good health and be able to endure hardships, and of course the wages here are not very high. It only costs a penny to carry a bag of goods, but it is not possible to work every day.

Most of the people who come here to work do so when the farm is not working. They don't want to earn much, at least they can make a living with their mouth, so that they can save more food for their families.

Han Dazhuang's situation is relatively special, and the whole family points to him for dinner. He is physically strong and can endure hardships, and the reason why he is like this today is because he saved breakfast.

Just after the autumn harvest, his family's life should be quite passable, but as soon as the grain came down, it was pulled away by their creditors. A few acres of land at home can produce some food, but it is also a drop in the bucket for their family, and his family is about to run out of food.

Working here is not a day-to-day settlement, but a batch of goods will be paid to them when they are busy.

The family with surplus food can still support it, but in a situation like Han Dazhuang's family, his family can't hold on at all. Someone gave them the idea to sell the youngest girl.

But Han's mother couldn't bear it, and Han Dazhuang couldn't bear it. Han's father has passed away, and he is the eldest son and eldest brother like a father. His younger siblings were counting on him, and he couldn't let them down.
