Woo!

The whistle roared, piercing and restless.

A three-story steamer rowed through the murky water and swayed the dilapidated hull that looked like it was about to fall apart. The chimney of the steam engine on it spewed thick black smoke into the sky.

The figures on the dock were scurrying around, quite noisy.

The arrival of this big ship has attracted the attention of many people. In addition to the passengers, there were also thieves with golden hands, small traders, rugged foot wives, etc., who crowded around and shouted loudly and stepped forward.

The ships came, and all the boats gave way.

On deck, some passengers waved at people they knew on the dock, shouting to each other.

Zheng Dong was dressed in the coarse cloth clothes of a countryman, and looked curiously at everything on the shore, and the city shrouded in smog in the distance was not visible. His face was dirty and immature, and only those large eyes revealed a little agility that distinguished him from the people around him.

"Little brother, where are you going?" Next to Zheng Dong, a young man who looked like a squire was kind and kind, his chin was slightly pointed, revealing a hint of treachery, but his eyes looked very sincere. This squire carried several large suitcases of luggage alone when he got on the boat, and carried it alone, Zheng Dong helped him when he saw this, and he wanted to get off the boat at this moment, he wanted Zheng Dong to help again, and even, he looked at Zheng Dong's age but not strong, but he was good, that is, he was stupid, so it was better to be a good husband.

Zheng Dong's voice was clear and pleasant: "The church asked me to come here to find people in white clothes." ”

"White clothes?" The squire's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Zheng Dong and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Dong's eyes blinked and asked.

The squire coughed lightly and said, "You're an orphan adopted by the church, aren't you?" Sixteen this year? ”

Zheng Dong nodded.

"I've known a lot of teenagers like you who grew up and were kicked out by the church and told them to go to the docks to find people in white clothes. However, none of them could find it. The squire was secretly proud, such a young man needed a pair of "helping" hands in times of crisis.

"Why?" Zheng Dong was surprised.

"I think the church is just trying to get you away." The squire was also direct, looking at the young man's stunned face, and opened his mouth to say, "It's all like this, unwritten rules, I'm afraid that you don't want to leave the church, so I will leave you a thought." Once an orphan leaves the church, he is not allowed to go back. ”

Zheng Dong suddenly felt helpless, and was a little depressed: "Then what should I do?" ”

The squire's eyes rolled, the corners of his mouth pulled up a touch of sly, and then he said, "It's hard for you to get a job here like this, why don't you follow me?" I see that you have a lot of strength and a clever person, carry things for me, and I will feed you and shelter you until you find a job. ”

Zheng Dong thought about it when he heard this, and thought in his heart, what a profiteer, he doesn't give a penny, and his words are so good, when I don't know anything?

As the ship docked, the hull trembled, and the old crew stood in front of the excited crowd, threw the huge plank off the ship, and landed firmly on the dock.

People stepped over the solid planks and walked ashore, where they quickly blended with the flow of people on the shore.

Seeing that Zheng Dong was still thinking about it, the squire couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said, "Give you a penny every day?" ”

"Three points!" Zheng Dong spoke.

The squire was stunned for a moment, and then shouted, "Three points? How dare you ask for it. ”

Zheng Dong looked at the squire innocently: "One point is enough to buy a bun." ”

"Two points!" The squire held out two fingers.

"Three points!" Zheng Dong was very stubborn.

"Hurry up, it's time to clear the ship!" The old crew shouted impatiently from the other end of the deck.

The squire was anxious, his face was embarrassed, his face changed for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Okay, count me into your way, I learned this in the church at a young age?" ”

"Three points?" Zheng Dong had a stupid smile on his face.

"Three points!" The squire looked at Zheng Dong's pure face, and felt more and more hateful, he had always taken advantage of others, how could he have thought that he would be cheated by a teenager today.

I'll send you away when you're done! The squire said viciously in his heart.

"Okay, I'll help you move your things, you look like a big businessman." Zheng Dong's mouth was very sweet, and he trotted into the cabin.

The squire followed him in, and found that the boy remembered the location of his cargo, and wondered if he had been targeted by the little bastard when he got on board.

"Be careful, you can't afford to pay for it!" The squire couldn't help but shout as he watched Zheng Dong carry two large suitcases of luggage and run fast.

"Don't worry!" Zheng Dong smiled at him, shook his hands, and the two boxes actually flew up.

"Hey!" The squire's eyes widened.

Zheng Dong was not nervous at all, he actually jumped into the air, spun perfectly, held the handle of the box with both hands, and then landed firmly on the deck.

"Where do you get so much energy?" The squire was surprised, and immediately reacted, and said viciously, "Little bastard, fall down and kill you." ”

"Good skills!" The old crew member said on the side.

"Thank you!" Zheng Dong bowed slightly to the old crew member and said with a smile, "Uncle looks so capable, I wish my uncle all the best!" ”

"Ah, I promise you." The old sailor smiled, and continued, "But you have to be careful of this squire, he doesn't do good things, sometimes rich and sometimes poor. ”

"Ah, that's right." Zheng Dong's eyes blinked, looking at the embarrassed squire. As if asking, is this true?

The squire hurriedly ran off the boat with the rest of his luggage and urged without looking back, "Hurry up, little bastard." ”

Zheng Dong jumped up and down.

"Follow me." The two walked into the crowd, and the squire whispered. Zheng Dong followed closely.

"Pull up your luggage, your clothes don't contain any money, do you?" The squire asked.

"There's six cents."

"Put it away and hide it in the innermost part." The squire hastenedly said.

"Why?" Zheng Dong scratched his head.

"Aren't you smart?" The squire glanced back at Zheng Dong, "Can't you think of why?" ”

"Because of this?" Zheng Dong smiled sweetly, stopped, and took out a twisted metal ball from behind his back with his right hand.

The squire took a closer look and saw the boss.

It turned out to be a knife that had been twisted into a ball.

"Just now someone wanted to use this to cut my pocket, so I grabbed the knife and broke it, and I wanted to say a few words to the man, but I didn't expect him to run away."

Squire embarrassed, how much strength does this kid have?

"Why did he run away?" Zheng Dong muttered.

"I'm scared away by you." The squire dropped such a sentence.

Walking out of the docks, the squire found a street entrance, laid down his luggage, groped for himself, pulled out a heavily wrapped money bag, looked at it carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Zheng Dong and saw that the latter was looking at him with blank eyes.

"What are you looking at? Haven't seen the money? The squire said.

"The boss is really rich." Zheng Dong's eyes were sincere.

The squire was a little floating, but soon woke up to the fact that the young man in front of him was not an honest man.

"What's the matter with you?" He said warily.

"Boss, don't you want to know why I have so much strength?"

"Hmm." The squire was somewhat interested.

"Actually, I've had a lot of strength since I was a kid, and I'm very agile." Zheng Dong blinked his big pure eyes, "Oh, by the way, I'm still very kind, and the young ladies in the church are very happy to see me." ”

"What do you want to say?" The squire clutched his money bag and had a premonition of a crisis.

Zheng Dong's little face was stupid: "However, every time the priest sees me, he seems to be very unhappy. ”

"Huh? And then what? ”

"Because he thinks I eat too much. But if I don't eat, I don't have the strength. Zheng Dong said, "How can you not let people eat?" ”

"Eat a lot." The squire breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, follow me, just eat and live, and work hard." ”

"Really, thank you boss!" Zheng Dong smiled happily, "Boss Shenwu!" ”

The squire waved his hand: "Let's find an inn to live in first, and then take you to dinner!" ”

"Uh-huh." Zheng Dong squinted and smiled.

An hour later, in the restaurant opposite the Ruby Inn, the squire looked at the bowl on the table, which was more than a meter high, as if petrified.

"Come again!" Zheng Dongyi sucked in the last noodle, and then shouted at the guy who looked slightly sluggish on the side.

"Oh. Yes, guest officer. The man came back to his senses, walked through the crowd around Zheng Dong, and ran back to the back kitchen.

"Five bowls!" Zheng Dong added.

Everyone looked at this and sighed at the teenager's "belly".

"This is going to be the prime minister's belly."

"Now it's the new Republic of China, there is no prime minister, this is the prime minister's belly!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Guest officer, there is no face!" The guy shouted from afar.

Zheng Dong's little face was unhappy, his tongue stretched out, licked the juice from his mouth, and said meaningfully: "Then eat so much for the time being......"

"Guest officer, a total of thirteen bowls of ramen, five yuan and two cents." The guy ran over and said.

"Boss, pay!" Zheng Dong patted the petrochemical squire, and said arrogantly, "I will definitely work hard for you!" ”

"What a miserable boss......"

"Can you still make money doing this business?"

There was a lot of talk around them.

The squire twisted his stiff head, looked at Zheng Dong, and gritted his teeth: "Little bastard!" ”

"You said that there is still a reason for not letting people eat and live in a package!" Zheng Dong knew that the unruly boss in front of him was not easy to mess with now, so he looked at everyone for help.

"yes, how can you not let people eat?" People were happy to see the jokes and cheered.

"Guest, you have to pay." The man also looked at the squire.

"Of course I pay, I have the money!" The squire's eyes erupted with fire, his hands trembled, he took out four small silver dollars and two pennies, and handed them to the man, "Take it!" ”

"Okay, you're good to go!" The guy took the money and nodded to the proprietress who had been watching at the counter.

"I thought it was for free." The hostess left with peace of mind.

The squire pulled Zheng Dong and walked out the door.

"Slow down." Zheng Dong shouted.

The squire didn't respond, and strode along, wondering how to beat the bastard, preferably as if he could get rid of it. Then he found himself still in the restaurant, standing still, not moving at all, and the people around him looked at him strangely.

The squire had a headache, and he forgot that Zheng Dong's strength was amazing.

Zheng Dong stuck out his tongue, he knew that it would be over if he continued to make trouble, so he suddenly relaxed.

The squire exerted too much force and fell to the ground.

At night, in the room on the second floor of the Red Jade Inn, Zheng Dong was extremely attentive, serving tea and pouring water medicine, with a small face complimenting.

The squire lying on the bed had his head wrapped in gauze, and his eyes moved with Zheng Dong hatefully.

"It's been eight lifetimes of blood mold since I met you."

"No, no, no, boss, who can take care of you so intimately like I do?" Zheng Dong said.

"Are you really from the church?"

"Of course. I never tell lies! ”

"There is such a thing as you in the church of the Westerners, what is the name of the West, oh yes, the devil!"

"I am your angel!" Zheng Dong smiled.

"If you eat like this every day, I won't have to live. I can't support you even if I sell all those boxes! ”

"No, I usually eat half a month."

"Usually?"

"Eat less, let's eat six or seven big buns at a meal."

The squire wanted to vomit blood.

Zheng Dong laughed, and then his smile suddenly froze, and he heard hurried footsteps outside the window.

The next moment, the window slammed open, and a slender black-clothed figure rolled in. Ignoring the surprised gazes of the two, the man in black quickly got up and closed the window. Leaning against the wall and gasping for air.

The side of the black-clothed man's face was extremely white, and on it, the delicate eyes revealed a trace of tiredness. I didn't care about the two people in the house.
