Chapter 178: A Vicious Fight
In autumn, the number of ships carrying coal on the river immediately increased a lot, and the people on the wharf were also very busy. The number of shippers who make a living by unloading coal has also increased. They unloaded and loaded coal on ships day and night. After unloading a boat each time, they all made themselves look like they had crawled out of the ash heap, except for the white eyes that were not black, and the whole body was black with soot, black as the bottom of a charcoal pot.
When night falls, the lights on the river will be bright all night, and some large and small ships gather from different places, and they will transport raw coal from different sources here and then return. In a matter of days, the entire wharf was turned into a sea of coal. The mountains of coal, shining with a dazzling oil, not only attracted the large trucks of merchants, but also lured some greedy mountain wolves and water thieves out of their homes. They live by the river, steal for a living all year round, and have taken advantage of the wharf yard.
They go to the docks during the day to find targets and take advantage of them at night. These thieves, when they come out to steal, they all carry sharp weapons on their bodies, they don't care if you lose money, as long as you make a word of trade go well, their feet are faster than rabbits.
However, they are really unable to prevent the means of coming to distribute dividends with their bare hands. They are not timely, indefinitely, and quantitatively, like bandits, every time they drive a light agricultural vehicle, unscrupulously come to the coal yard to steal coal, they will slip away, those bosses in other places are afraid of being plotted, they dare not chase after them, and they all hate them to the bone. Because the law does not hold the people accountable, this further fuels their arrogance.
What's even more hateful is that they also form a powerful gang of thieves, taking advantage of the dark night, sneaking into the fog with low visibility, and stealing these low-hanging fruit raw coal at any time. After stealing it, sell it cheaply. Their methods of committing crimes were particularly bad, and many of the staff responsible for managing security at the wharf were even beaten and injured by their groups.
What is even more disgusting is that in this gang, there are even some middle-aged women who are either sprinkled, cheating, or pretending to be crazy and stupid every time they are caught. The illegal acts of their gang have brought many undesirable hidden dangers to the security work here.
In order to cooperate with the security work of the wharf, the superior leaders specially transferred Ren Haoxuan to the wharf to manage public security. The docks are so messy, and it's so dangerous to do a job like this with your head tied to your waist, and whoever does it is grinning. If you meet a guy who eats raw rice, no matter how uneasy he is, he will be ruined in this life.
Ren Haoxuan knew that Sun Xiaohong would not agree, he did such a thing, and he didn't discuss it with her in advance, so he made his own decisions. Because when the leader talked to him, he said that he would give more subsidies and good treatment, in order to earn a few more money, he didn't even want his life, and even took the risk to see the coal pile.
At that time, when the leader asked him if he was going, he opened his mouth and agreed. In order to support his family, he gave himself up. He didn't go for a few days before there were ships at the dock to unload coal. In the past few days, when he was on night duty, the dock was calm, and after he walked around a few times with a few people, he did not find any suspicious traces. At dawn, they walked around the dock again, and nothing happened.
When it was his turn to change the guard in the morning, he rode his motorcycle and ran back from the dock after not closing his eyes all night. When he returned home, Sun Xiaohong had just left from work, and after he devoured a few bites of food, he went to the kang and fell asleep in a daze. He slept all day, until the sun went down, and then he squinted and got up from the kang. He stretched out for a long time, put on his shoes slowly, scooped some water from the water tank, poured it into the basin, washed his face a few times, went into the house and sat on the edge of the kang, and the family of four began to eat dinner.
After dinner, Sun Xiaohong sat at the table to write a lesson plan, she saw Ren Haoxuan looking tired from the mirror, put down the pen in her hand and said: "It's very dangerous to manage security at the dock, or safety first, if you can't do it, don't go!"
"How can you do it if you don't go! It's not that you don't know about our family's situation. The life of so many people in the family depends on our salaries, which is always tight, how can we not earn more money? Anyway, it's just a winter's work, and it's good to wait for the next few months to pass. Ren Haoxuan said with his eyes closed.
"If you don't have money, you won't spend it, and you can't work so hard, right? I heard that the villagers near the dock are not very easy to mess with, if you offend them, I can't tell you when you will come out to find you awkward, can you stop? Besides, if you commute to and from work every day and pass by those villages, if they rob you halfway, you won't have anywhere to find someone to help you. It's too dangerous, I think you'd better quit this job, why don't you have to go to the docks to play for your life? Why don't we put so much pressure on ourselves when we don't have a meal? Just listen to me, change jobs as soon as possible! If you are beaten up by those coal blacks who steal coal, you won't be able to get it. Sun Xiaohong persuaded bitterly.
"Who are you listening to, and you are divine. No matter how rampant they are, they have to talk about the king's law! If you want to say that you are not angry about policing, you have to squeeze your head and do it. This job is not very easy to do anyway, so why don't you be careful! Actually, after staying there for a long time, there is nothing to do! You don't have to worry at all, just take care of yourself at home and take my son with you! Don't worry about me, just put your heart in your stomach, and after these months have passed, I will be able to bring back a big surprise for you and your son! Sun Xiaohong was pregnant, and he was afraid that Sun Xiaohong would think too much, so he kept comforting her. Sun Xiaohong knew that she couldn't talk about him, so she pricked up her eyes and said angrily:
"I'd rather not want those things than let you go there and take care of the law. Do you know what that job is? To put it bluntly, it's a cat-and-mouse job, and if you don't say it, it's to take care of the dock. If nothing happens, everything will be fine. If something happens, it's not a trivial matter. As far as you die, you run all the way to the dark. Please, don't scare me, I think you'd better change jobs, even if you don't have a job, why don't you eat a bowl of rice, you have to go and be a bodyguard for those coal piles! You see that our child is about to be born, can you not do those deadly work! Can't you just listen to me? The more Sun Xiaohong spoke, the more excited she became, and crystal tears rolled in her eyes.
"What do you think you're doing here? You don't listen to anyone, it's not as evil as you think. I'm fine there, you don't have to worry about anything, your husband and I are so strong, if anyone dares to do anything to me, then how fat his guts must be! Don't worry, don't think about it all day, I'm fine! Patrol at night, and I didn't go alone, we went with a large group of people, all with guys on them, nothing happened! Ren Haoxuan said with a smile. He also made some funny moves to make Sun Xiaohong laugh bitterly and bitterly.
"I know, you can't listen to what I say, did you never take my words seriously? You just have to be tough, I've been with you all my life. Sun Xiaohong saw that she couldn't say anything about him, so she complained very unhappily.
"Look, I didn't say anything, why are you still angry! Didn't I go out to make money, and I didn't go out to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, look at what you are doing like that? Ren Hao said with a hippie smile. He said this deliberately, otherwise how could Sun Xiaohong laugh.
"You dare, if you go out to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, I will go back to my parents' house tomorrow, so that you, the father, can't even look at the shadow of the child." Sun Xiaohong smashed a fist into Ren Haoxuan's chest, just on the palm of his hand, and both of them laughed.
When he got up in the morning, Ren Haoxuan had breakfast and rode a motorcycle to work. As soon as he arrived at the dock, before he could get off the motorcycle, he heard a relatively young colleague shouting at him next to a large coal pile in the distance: "Little Renzi, come over and have a look, there is a large group of people stealing coal here!" Hurry up and get someone! When Ren Haoxuan heard this, he hurriedly got off the motorcycle, he didn't even take off his helmet, locked the motorcycle to the side, and rushed over.
He took three steps and two steps, and ran to the side of the coal pile to take a look, and saw that under the mountain-like coal pile, there were about twenty or thirty men and women, and there were about twenty or thirty people stealing coal. While brazenly stealing coal, they also loaded a small truck with great fanfare. In the face of the warnings of several security officers, they all pretended not to hear it, as if they were taking their own things, and they did not need to be polite at all.
Ren Haoxuan saw that they were so arrogant, he jumped onto the coal pile with a thud, and he condescendingly shouted at these lawbreakers: "You are breaking the law by doing this, hurry up and put down the shovel in my hand, otherwise I will arrest people!" He shouted for a long time, but these people still went their own way, feeling that the king of heaven was coming, and it would not affect their arrogance in stealing coal.
Seeing that their trucks are about to fill up and drive away, if they don't arrest people, the dock will suffer a lot of damage. Seeing his shouting, Ren Haoxuan did not frighten them away, and immediately jumped off the coal pile and walked among the group. But before he could open his mouth to speak, he saw a thief with a shovel in his hand, smashing his head and face from the opposite side. Fortunately, Ren Haoxuan was able to hide neatly, otherwise if this spade went down, his head would be miserable, even if it didn't bloom, he would have to grow two big cells.
If you look at those women, it's really not a thing. Don't talk about stealing things and stealing red eyes, watching the men fight against Ren Haoxuan, they also join in the fun. This group of ignorant legal blindness, as if killing people is not worth their lives, they saw Ren Haoxuan and one of his colleagues standing side by side in front of them with their bare hands, all of them were not afraid, and some of them actually held shovels and cut them over. It seems that it is not possible to do it without hands!
In a hurry, Ren Haoxuan snatched the shovel from his hand, and he took a frantic turn in the coal yard. When he saw one smashing one by one, he shouted loudly while smashing a pair of colleagues: "I'm here on top, you go to the police!" When his colleague heard this, he hurriedly ran out of the coal yard, and he ran to the duty room out of breath and grabbed the phone on the table, and called the police. Then, he grabbed a stick in the house and hurried back to the coal yard.
Two people are fighting against a large group of people, just fighting with their lives. It wasn't until after driving those who stole coal out of the site that Ren Haoxuan threw the shovel in his hand to the ground, and sat on the coal pile with a pale face, panting, so tired that he couldn't stand up. The colleague also sat next to him, and the two of them looked at each other, neither of whom could say a word.
When Ren Haoxuan stood up and bent down to pick up the shovel he had used just now from the ground, he saw that it was full of bloodstains. Carrying this handful of colorful shovels, he secretly sweated for himself in his heart, he suddenly rejoiced, he was also afraid, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of his colleagues to drive away the gang of thieves, maybe he would have died in the coal yard today.
