Chapter 147: Dreaming is the most diligent
"These young people all think that they are very shrewd, they have no motivation to work, and they are more diligent than anyone else in their dreams! Today the suspect's family gives less money, tomorrow they think they are too tired to work, and the day after tomorrow they say that they can't find a job to do, and in the end they either become idle and unemployed young people who are bored at home, or they join the gang and become bastards who fight and make trouble!"
"In the past, dyeing dog hair and wearing dog rings would cause harm to the streets and townships at most. Pretending to slap each other in the face, a few people can't die anyway, or they are taking care of themselves and holding '**' fun. It's good now that I have been fooled by the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and a few big chambers of commerce backed by big capital, a few words of 'lofty ideals', 'financial freedom', 'pigs can fly on the tuyere', and some demagogic pyramid schemes. And then give people the energy to be a 'marketing vanguard', go around harming their relatives and circle of friends, and think that they should be born to make a fortune!"
"Hmph, there are also some hairy children who are not deeply involved in the world on the surface, but in fact, they are as cunning as ghosts and fierce as wolves! In the past, there were several guilds in this urban area that honestly fished, dried salt, and sold dry goods, and everyone had been safe and sound for many years. Now he doesn't think he can make a fortune with less money, so everyone has started to smuggle, sell slaves and drugs, and grab jobs with Lao Tzu. In these days, even this headless business is not easy to do! It's really a world that is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient. β
As soon as Nathaniel thought of this, he subconsciously became irritable, and spit out the yellow-green thick phlegm everywhere - people who have been eating this bite of food at sea for a long time, because they spend a lot of time at sea, they are blown by the salty and wet sea breeze all day long, and they will inevitably feel that their throat is also very salty, and spitting has naturally become a habit.
He himself had always dreamed of being a civilized and elegant noble spell caster when he was a child.
Later, he was forced by the poor family life at the bottom of the city, so he had no choice but to work as a sailor on someone else's ship, and started the business of burning and killing on the surface businessman's back, killing people and burying corpses and selling stolen goods on this sea for others, and did I don't know how much dirty work and hard work to earn enough to be the boss of a big ship.
And those ignorant and naΓ―ve little wizards who came out of the ivory tower have a better starting point than themselves, as long as they find a good boss who is generous, they will easily have the opportunity to make a lot of money, and under the psychological imbalance, they suddenly began to curse fiercely: the majestic god of the sea! The mighty Nodens (Nodens), bless the humble Nathaniel~~ Let those pretentious greenhouse flowers be baptized by your most violent and harsh ocean storm! Let the fools who covet and wish to absorb the riches of the sea without experiencing the baptism of suffering fall into the deepest darkness of your ocean kingdom, and repent of their innocence and greed forever in the endless abyss where even their souls are frozen!
He kept cursing viciously indignant in his heart, which made his mood worse today.
With a swearing and unhappy look on his face, Nathaniel, with a scarred face, took out a handful of tobacco and spices from the small gray-brown pouch around his waist, and rolled it up in half a dried corn leaf.
There was a thin black guy with a monkey spirit on the side, who knew how to look at it, and had already turned on the paper lampshade and lit the small fish oil anointment lamp used at night with flint and steel.
Another tall sailor, who wore a dog-legged knife at his waist, carefully hid the disdain and envy in his eyes, and watched in silence as his companion diligently held the lamp and lit a cigarette for his boss.
Nathaniel took a few choking puffs of cigarette smoke, and suddenly felt dry and warm.
"His grandmother's, it's still this imported tobacco and spices are strong enough~" He breathed a sigh of relief with a happy face, looked at a few sailors around him who were also addicted to smoking, stretched his neck and kept sniffing the smoke that dispersed, in this contrast of "he has nothing", his mood suddenly became happy.
Nathaniel didn't say anything: "Boy, if you want to smoke imported tobacco? Let's struggle for a few more decades! There is not much in this world, but there are many poor people! Lao Tzu will reward you with food, and you still want to enjoy it as much as my lord? There is no door.
But he had a kind smile on his face, and asked loudly: "Why? I don't have money to buy cigarettes? I have food and drink in my caravan, and I haven't saved a lot of money?"
The guys looked a little embarrassed, and said in their hearts: Just that little money is enough to spend. But the bosses everywhere are all virtuous, and they always talk about life, ideals, and hard work, but the salary increase cannot be implemented. Speaking of which, I am always pulled to the top of "talking about money and hurting feelings", so it is better to find a family to change jobs by myself as soon as possible and give myself a salary increase~.
He smiled very reluctantly: "My parents went down in the mine in the early years, but after a serious illness in the middle, their physical strength decreased and they transferred to work in the brick factory, they had a serious silicosis, and they had to go to the priest for treatment regularly, and the little brother who farmed the land at home was 19 years old, and it was almost time to marry a wife, and our family was ready to help him buy a diligent slave girl as a wife." But the cheap female slaves are all those lazy and stupid island natives, and the young slaves from the mainland are not cheap. It takes a lot of money. I now drink the amount of rum I drink every month, by the glass. β
Nathaniel pretended to pat him on the shoulder as a gesture of kindness, "It turns out that he is still a good son and brother, it doesn't matter, the last batch of goods has been sold this afternoon, and we will set off to continue making a lot of money." As he spoke, the smile on his face was as sweet as melted honey, which made the guys feel reassured.
Passers-by next to them must have felt that this is really a "kind and good boss".
The guy Mu Na smiled, now there is really no other way than to hope that the sea will not encounter a storm and the boss will pay on time. He just continued to speak, and suddenly pointed to the opposite side not far away and said, "Boss, something seems to be going on there~"
Suddenly.
A loud quarrel came from the sidewalk not far across the street.
"You dead leftovers from the countryside, stand up and fight back!!"
"Look at it, look at it, and cut off your other eight fingers. Wha...... Persecution !!"
Captain Nathaniel squinted his eyes and looked at him curiously.
A few thugs were pushing an honest foreigner, and the young man really had only eight fingers in his hands.
Then someone shouted, "Stop, you're going too far!" God teaches us to be good, fair, and righteous. This man didn't do anything bad, so why are you surrounding him and bullying him?"
"Buzz ......"
Listen to the people around you talk about it~
