Chapter 56: Appearance (3)
"Bliss, this old ghost, has a black heart. We found more than 20 people for him to transport the goods, but the three melons and two dates sent us away. Bastard, one day I'm going to be him. Skinny monkey, what do you think you should do next? ”
In a narrow alley in the shantytown, a group of four or five teenagers were wandering through the alley in the middle of the shantytown.
"Senior Brother Wang, why don't you transport goods to Bliss, his things are not clean, and the money he gives is ......"
The name of Skinny Monkey was a short, sharp-mouthed teenager who was looking at a sturdy boy biting a sugar cane next to him with a bitter face.
The sturdy young man was dressed in a single coat, revealing his strong chest muscles and abdominal muscles, spit out the bagasse in his mouth, pouted, and said, "It doesn't matter if he's clean or not, as long as he gives money." Besides, if anyone is caught, it will be his own bad luck. Staying well in prison is that there is food and drink inside, which is no better than working harder outside. Now the key is that Bliss is bullying us and refusing to pay for it, and if we continue like this, everyone will have to drink the northwest wind. ”
"Senior Brother Wang, we still have to ask the master to come forward in this matter, otherwise people won't pay attention to us." The thin monkey shrank his head and whispered an idea.
Although they can meddle in some of the business of the Haisha Society, most of them still stay at giving hands to people, recruiting coolies and the like. If you want to really make some businessmen look at it squarely, it's almost a little bit.
"Nope." The sturdy young man spat on bagasse and flatly refused, "This is something that my brother gave me, and if you want to ask him to come forward, it won't seem that we are particularly incompetent." And ......"
The sturdy young man paused as he spoke, his face was a little unhappy, and he suddenly reached out and knocked the sugarcane in his hand on the thin monkey's head, "In the future, don't call senior brother and senior brother, if the old Taoist priest and Master Liu don't continue to teach kung fu, then I won't be your senior brother in the future." ”
The thin monkey-like boy was hit on the head, and his teeth cracked in pain, but he didn't dare to hesitate at all, but instead shrunk his neck, and sneered resignedly, "Yes, yes, young master." ”
"That's what it sounds like." The sturdy young man laughed, nodded with satisfaction, and casually threw half of the sugar cane in his hand to the thin monkey, "I'm rewarding you." ”
"Thank you for the reward." The skinny monkey received half of the sugar cane and immediately smiled.
I couldn't wait to take a bite, and in the thick fiber stem of the sugarcane, the sweet sugar water burst in my mouth, and suddenly a pair of small eyes that were rolling around brightened a little.
When I was in the Empire, this thing was not valuable, even if I couldn't afford it, I could always touch a few roots in someone's field in the middle of the night, but it was a rare thing here in the Federation, mainly because they were low-level summer workers, and they couldn't touch it on weekdays.
"I really don't understand, this old Taoist priest and Master Liu are mysterious, they took the initiative to find a few of us at that time, and now they kick it away again, when we are a night pot. If I hadn't seen that I could learn kung fu from them, I would have asked my brother to tie them up. ”
A piece of sugar cane was thrown out, and the angry anger in the sturdy young man's heart seemed to have not disappeared, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go, go to the old one-eyed tavern to play for money, he is lively there." ”
"Good!" A few people who followed the sturdy young man next to him nodded excitedly.
If Pei Chu was here at the moment, he would be able to recognize these teenagers when he saw them, they were all many Xia Gong teenagers who followed Liu Sixi and Li Xuandao to practice martial arts at the foot of Goutou Mountain.
The sturdy young man at the head is Wang Yunxiao, who claims to be his brother and is the vice president of the Haisha Association, and when Pei Chu is strength was tested at the foot of the mountain that day, Wang Yunxiao also threw an olive branch to Pei Chu.
After that, Pei Chu looked up and looked down Pei Chu and these people have also met many times, but Pei Chu and these teenagers are not all the way, and they can't go together.
A group of four or five teenagers walked through the streets and alleys of the shantytown, shouting and shouting all the way, and they did not shy away from encountering Xia Gong or some Negro and Madi people living nearby.
On the one hand, several people have been practicing martial arts with Liu Sixi and Li Xuandao for a period of time, and they all have the strength of one and two heavy, and there are four people, and ordinary people may not be able to beat them with seven or eight.
The other is that the Haisha Society is quite powerful in Jinshan Port, and the young and strong workers from the empire are all controlled by them, although the wharf is a mixed place, but as long as a few teenagers show the name of the Haisha Society, most of the rootless ordinary people in the shantytown retreat and dare not provoke.
The thin monkey walked behind a few people, spit out the last bite of the poorly chewed bagasse, and then stretched out his tongue and licked his fingers greedily, and just as he was snorting his fingers, the corner of his eyes turned bright, and he turned his head to look at the position not far from the shantytown, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Young master, young master!" The skinny monkey screamed.
"What's the matter?" When Wang Yunxiao heard the shout, he responded impatiently.
"Let's go...... Walk the water! It's watery over there! ”
"What?"
Wang Yunxiao and the other two teenagers turned around abruptly and looked in the direction of the thin monkey, only to see that on the shantytown near the dock port, the fire suddenly lit up, and half of the sky was dyed red.
"It's really watery!" Wang Yunxiao looked at the firelight, and was also a little stunned.
"Young Master, what now? Want...... Do you want to put out the fire? The skinny monkey asked, confused.
They lived in the shantytown of Jinshan Port, which was basically half a family, and their hearts trembled when they saw the monstrous fire light up.
Wang Yunxiao stood stunned for a while, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses, "Help...... Of course you have to save! ”
Just for a moment, the fire above the shantytown not far away became a little bigger, and the faint sound of various shouts and shouts also came at this time.
"Wait a minute!"
The three teenagers, including the thin monkey, had just followed Wang Yunxiao and were about to run towards the fire, but they were suddenly shouted by Wang Yunxiao and stopped again.
"The fire is so big, who knows what will happen in the end!" Wang Yunxiao's eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly laughed, "There is a trick!" ”
"Huh?" The three teenagers, including the thin monkey, were all baffled by Wang Yunxiao's laughter.
"Let's go, come with me!" Wang Yunxiao laughed excitedly, "That old ghost of Bliss dares to shorten our money, we will go to his warehouse to move his goods now." Quick, it's a southwest wind now, and it's too late for this fire to reach the warehouse. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the eyes of several teenagers lit up, there have been several fires in the shantytown of Jinshan Port, because they are all wooden buildings, and many people have died in each fire, and even many large shipping companies have been affected.
In these fires, some people died and suffered greatly, but there were also a few people who took advantage of the fire to get a lot of things from those shipping companies, and even had a lot of grievances and revenge.
Such an opportunity can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The four men ran quickly towards the location where the fire was about to burn, and along the way, many people in the shantytown had already walked out of the wooden houses, looking terrified. There were figures everywhere, and the noise and cries came one after another, and the whole gray and numb world seemed to boil all at once, and it was chaotic and connected.
Outside Bliss Freight, there was also chaos at the moment.
Numerous Negros and laborers were organized by the white men in charge, constantly moving the stacks of goods outside, and sending people to carry water from the harbor, trying to organize the spreading fire.
Taking advantage of this chaotic gap, Wang Yunxiao and several people slipped into the warehouse from the edge of the guardrail.
The warehouse was empty, stacked with all kinds of goods, and after the fire, the personnel were dispatched to the front to fight the fire, and it had not yet begun to enter the stage of rushing goods to the warehouse.
Several people looked at the many goods in the warehouse, and their mouths were almost laughing to the back of their heads.
Hurriedly picked up the iron drill, hammer and other tools from the side, and smashed some of the nearby wooden box goods, at this time the time is urgent, to steal from the warehouse, it is best to choose something valuable.
There are a lot of drugs and arms and firearms in the Bliss company, which are illegal in themselves, and these things are not much, and they can move one or two boxes away, which is enough for a few teenagers to earn a lot of money.
Knock knock!
Suddenly, an eerie voice rang out from inside the warehouse.
"What sound?"
Wang Yunxiao stopped the action of prying boxes of goods in his hand and listened carefully.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" The thin monkey looked at Wang Yunxiao's movements and asked with some puzzlement, and the two young men next to him who looked excited also turned their heads at this time and looked at Wang Yunxiao with a blank expression.
Knock knock!
Another strange shaking sound sounded in the warehouse.
This time, the four of them all heard clearly, and hurriedly looked around and quickly searched for it.
"What the is this?"
Wang Yunxiao spat at the mouth and scolded.
But the strange vibrating sound sounded again, "Knock-knock-knock-" seemed to be faster and more intense than it had been when it had been first heard.
Around the entire warehouse, with this strange sound beating, it seemed that a strange force began to float invisibly, and the air began to be a little uneven.
"Young Master, let's go!"
The thin monkey swallowed hard and looked around the warehouse in horror, and after the strange sound sounded, everyone never found the direction from which the sound came.
The other two companions, at this time, completely stopped the movements in their hands, and looked at Wang Yunxiao with hesitant expressions.
Knock Knock Knock –
The sound of beating like a drum became louder and louder, and the vibration made everyone present feel that their hearts seemed to be beating at the same frequency.
"Quick, find something of value and get it!"
Wang Yunxiao also felt a little dry mouth, not to mention the fire outside, but the sudden strange sound in the warehouse really made them feel a little frightened.
It seems that since the sound sounded, people have felt more and more palpitations.
Several people rummaged through the cabinets, quickly found the valuable medicines they knew, filled them with two coarse cloth sacks, and prepared to escape from the warehouse.
Suddenly, the movements of the four people present suddenly stopped, and they only felt that their feet seemed to be imprisoned by something.
"Fear!"
"Chaos!"
"Greedy!"
"Hatred!"
"Despair!"
“…… It's so sweet......"
An obscure, grotesque, ancient, soul-torn voice sounded.
The four of them could feel that the voice was speaking any language they had never heard before, but they could understand the meaning, as if the voice was acting directly in their heads, hearts, and souls......
"What's in the warehouse?"
The hurried footsteps of a large number of people outside the warehouse sounded, as if because the fire could not be saved, a large number of people poured in, ready to remove as many goods in the warehouse as possible, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing losses.
But suddenly, another burst of exclamations sounded.
The distance of dozens of meters around the warehouse shook violently as if it had been subjected to an earthquake, and the ground was torn open a huge hole in the deep darkness.
A huge arm with turquoise scales poked out of the ground.
