Chapter 3 Going to Sea
After Zhong Dabiao did all this, the guy asked, "Boss, where does your family live?" ”
This began to use the incision in the gang, the guy threw stones to ask for directions, Zhong Dabiao said: "At home, the surname is He, the upper and lower Biao, duckweed is in the water, and the four seas are home." ”
The guy said, "Does the boss have a threshold?" ”
This is to ask Zhong Dabiao if he is a member of the gang, Zhong Dabiao said: "Blessed to hold people, stain a little light from the ancestors." ”
Zhong Dabiao has already explained that he is a member of the gang, and then Zhong Dabiao said the names of three people, namely master, grandfather, and ancestor, and the young man in the store spoke politely at this time and asked, "Which word does the boss have at home?" ”
This is to ask Zhong Dabiao's seniority, Zhong Dabiao said with his hand: "At home, there are twenty-one incense burns on the head, twenty-two incense burns on the feet, and twenty-two incense burns in the hand." ”
The guy asked Zhong Dabiao about his seniority, and as soon as Zhong Dabiao said it, the guy was in awe, and hurriedly shouted: "The predecessor arrived, and he missed the distance." ”
This is the rule of their gang, the black word of the apprentice is called filial piety, the predecessors are called predecessors or old men, the apprentices are called the elder brothers, the upper and lower are called the masters, the peers are called the masters, the juniors are called the little masters, and the people in the gang are the ancestors and masters, or there is a threshold. The man stood up respectfully and shouted there, "Shopkeeper, there is a man from the past, add two more pots of good tea." ”
Unexpectedly, our treatment was rapidly improved, and the people in the teahouse all looked at us, with a respectful look in their eyes, in fact, the gang was originally an organization of poor people, in order to help each other, and then some ruffians and official forces joined the gang, and the gang changed its nature. But there are also advantages, if we don't go to the Northeast, we can live on the territory of the Haiqing Gang for three days, and they can take care of food and shelter without spending a penny.
After a while, two pots of tea were served, and the guy smiled and showed his back molars, he made us tea, and then stood in front of us respectfully, and said to Zhong Dabiao: "The predecessors came here to do literary business or martial arts business?" ”
The so-called literary business is some smuggling business, and the martial business is killing people and stealing goods, robbing and kidnapping tickets, Zhong Dabiao said: "We came to go out to the sea and go to the north to see the scenery." ”
When the man heard this, he hurriedly said: "The forest in the north of the predecessor is deep, and the Oriental wild dogs are dying, so it's best not to go." ”
Zhong Dabiao said: "It's okay, we have sticks for beating dogs, you can help us introduce people to drive the boat." ”
The man said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the shopkeeper, keep the account for the predecessors." Then he said respectfully: "The predecessor will come with me, and I will lead the predecessor to meet the three brothers of the Hai family." They are also people with thresholds. ”
This is already very clear, the three Hai brothers are also their own people, so we didn't ask for a penny for tea, the guy led us around the streets and alleys a few times, and then knocked on the door of a house, knocked three times, and someone inside asked: "Who?" ”
The guy said, "My own people, talk about a business." ”
Then the door opened, and there were three young men inside, all of whom had long crooked noses and squinted eyes, wore hats and dressed crookedly, and one of them was on his temple, and there was a dog skin plaster attached to it. Who's leading?? ”
The man said, "They are all their own people, these are the predecessors, who came to find your master, and they thought of the north." ”
When the man heard this, he said, "The three masters are in the inner hall, so I'll go and call them." ”
After a while, three people came to the inner hall of Kung Fu, and when I saw these three people, I was shocked in my heart, only to see these three people, with three colors on their faces, one was a red face, with a red face like spraying cinnabar, leopard eyes and beads, garlic nose, big mouth, wearing a shoulder, a big belt, and heart hair on the chest. One has a blue complexion, eagle eyes and a hooked nose, and a squinted gaze, like a vicious wolf, and the last one is like the bottom of a black pot, with a fierce face and a face full of horizontal meat.
These three people, which are like boatmen, are simply three bandits who robbed the road and cut the path, as soon as the three of them came up, they began to cross the road, touching the bottom of Zhong Dabiao, Zhong Dabiao calmly replied, through the altar, we know that the three people are not brothers, nor are they surnamed Hai, as for Haili Red, Haili Qing and Haili Black are their nicknames.
In the end, when it came to business, the red-faced Hai Lihong said: "The business over there is not easy to do, let's go to the north, we do it with our heads, you don't pay a lot of money, we don't go, this has nothing to do with the business of our Haiqing Gang." ”
Zhong Dabiao said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, how much do you want?" ”
Hai Lihong said: "At least thirty oceans." ”
This price is definitely high, but Zhong Dabiao smiled and said, "The price is okay, let's make a deal." ”
At this time, Hai Liqing said: "Boss, we have rules for running the sea, especially in such a high sea, we have to use the boat money to buy tribute to the Tianhou Palace to ask for the blessing of the Queen of Heaven." ”
This is to ask for money first, Zhong Dabiao didn't say a word, directly took out the money, counted thirty, handed it to Hai Lihong, and then counted five more yuan and said: "The thirty yuan is the fare of the ship, and these five yuan buy tribute." ”
Hai Lihong said: "The boss is really refreshing, I'm going to buy tribute to incense the queen of heaven." ”
Zhong Dabiao said: "When will you leave?" ”
Hai Lihong said: "After sacrificing to the god of the sea, you can leave at any time." ”
After saying that, let the apprentice invite us into the living room, the three of them chattered in the yard, I don't know what to discuss, and then the three of them went out, and it took a while to come back, and when we came back, we let them lead us to the dock to see their boat, and when we got there, Hai Lihong proudly said: "In this dock, our ship is big, with two masts, and the ship is stable and fast." ”
While talking while pointing to a ship, this ship is indeed larger than the other ships, two masts, with a large canopy on it, and the other ships, are some small boats, after we looked at the boat, we were very satisfied, and discussed the hurry to set off, the three Hai brothers readily agreed. We walked back to the carriage, and Mao Qinglian explained some things to Lao Zhangtou, afraid that it would not be safe for Lao Zhangtou to go back with money, so he only gave a few yuan of ocean as travel expenses, and then wrote a letter to ask his father to give Lao Zhangtou some settling-in expenses, so that Lao Zhangtou could go home and live a stable life.
The little fox Maomao, we hid it in the baggage, so that it did not come out casually, after packing, we took our things, under the eyes of the old Zhang Tou, boarded the boat, to the boat to see, this ship is indeed good, there are cabins and thatched huts on it, it is a small passenger ship.
The six of them kowtowed on the shore to make offerings, and then set off a firecracker, and when we got on board, we set off, raised the sails, and the boat rode away in the wind and waves. When we went up to get the gun, they saw it in the sea, so they had a special respect for us. This is the first time I have seen the sea, the sea is bigger than I imagined, we are all very curious, one by one sitting on the board outside the boat, looking at the sparkling sea, the sea and sky in the distance, everything is so beautiful. We were happy at first, but soon we realized the power of the sea, the rickety boat, shook us unconscious, we were seasick and dizzy, we vomited bile, cold sweat broke out, and the whole person was dying.
There was no way, I had to lie in the living room of the cabin, even so, I was still seasick when I moved, a few of us have been lying in the living room for two days, I feel better, this night I was sleeping, suddenly I heard a cry, it was a woman's voice, sad and sad, it made people feel uncomfortable. I heard the woman's cry, and I was stunned, on this boat, except for Mao Qinglian and Luo Xihan, there are all old men, and the crying outside is a woman's voice, this woman can't be one of Mao Qinglian and Luo Xihan, right?
Thinking of this, I quickly got up from the bed, and then stood up with a stagger, and helped the boat out of the cabin, at this time I saw a person sitting on the back deck of the ship, wearing snow-white clothes, crying there with his back to me, I could see that it was a woman, her hair was very long, hanging down on her body, I slowly approached, and saw some clearly, I saw that the woman was dripping water all over her body, as if she had just been fished out of the water, and she didn't look like she was a ripple of water, so I asked, "Who are you?" When to get on the boat? ”
