Chapter 1222: Clues Interrupted
"What are you doing, and you don't let people eat?"
The man shouted, picked up the eye-catching pancake that had fallen on the ground, put it in the palm of his hand, patted it off the floating soil on the surface, it was not too dirty, and stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite.
He chewed slowly, ignoring the anxious attitude of everyone waiting.
It wasn't until he swallowed the food in his mouth that he deliberately lowered his voice.
"Hey! Let me tell you, I have found some wonderful things on that ship today. ”
"What's good?" Everyone asked in unison.
Su Pan'er also opened her eyes and listened carefully to the other party's words.
"It's ......"
He suddenly stopped, but instead raised his head and looked left and right, and suddenly looked left and said something else: "Anyway, anyway, I just found a lot of good things." Let's go, let's get to work. ”
He stood up abruptly and left, not even drinking the half bowl of wild vegetable porridge that Nashang still had.
"Isn't this Peng Erniu a hell today? On weekdays, he doesn't lick the bowl with his tongue and is reluctant to put the bowl away, but today there are so many left. Isn't it raining red in the west today? ”
And they all talked about him.
Su Pan'er also squinted her eyes and looked in the direction where Peng Erniu disappeared, and silently bit the perforated cooking cake in her hand.
This Peng Erniu's demeanor doesn't look like he is lying, didn't he really find something amazing? Perhaps, she will find a time to find Peng Erniu to talk to her?
At the moment when Su Paner's thoughts broke down, everyone talked and laughed in various ways, and no one took Peng Erniu's words seriously.
"This cookcake is bitten with the mustard, and then it is drunk with the vegetable porridge, which tastes unique. You try it. ”
seemed to find that Su Paner didn't touch the handful of mustard in the bowl, and Zhang Da pointed at her: "We are coolies, we sweat a lot every day, and we need a lot of salt." If you don't eat something salty, you won't be able to carry the heavy cargo. Look at you, a child with fine skin and tender meat, at first glance, you are a master who has never done heavy work, how can you be reduced to the point of coming to work as a coolie? ”
Su Paner's heart is called a sweat!
When she made up as a man, in order to enhance her appearance, she not only consciously fine-tuned the three-dimensional sense of her facial features, but also pasted fake skin on her cheeks that blended with the skin tone. She thought she was flawless, but in the eyes of the other party, she still got a fine skin and tender meat, which made her cry and laugh a little.
"It's not the way to go."
Su Pan'er smiled shyly and said the self-justifying lie: "I don't dare to hide Brother Zhang, it was Ruan Qi's family who suddenly encountered a big disaster, so he rushed to his distant relatives." originally thought that after arriving, at least there was no need to worry about hunger, but the other party moved away a few years ago. Right now, I'm not leaving, and I'm not staying. Working as a coolie at the docks was a bit harder, but it was the only way I could think of to fill my stomach right now. ”
"That's right."
Zhang Da nodded and sighed thoughtfully: "Actually, I won't tell you anything, the reason why I want to help you is because you are very similar to me back then." Back then, like you, I came to join distant relatives in vain, and I was desperate and hungry, so I became a coolie......"
As he spoke, Zhang Da fell into memory.
Seeing Su Paner's heart for a while, she didn't expect that she was just a random lie, and she actually hooked the other party's heart.
Really...... The world is unpredictable.
Talking and laughing, Su Paner unconsciously ate the four cooking cakes with holes and a big bowl of wild vegetable porridge into her stomach, and even she herself was a little surprised! How long has it been since she's had such a good appetite?
After eating and drinking, the people got up again and walked to the big boat, ready to start their work.
Before he reached the side of the big boat, Su Pan'er saw Peng Erniu who had left early from a distance, and he was talking to someone. The man turned his back to Su Pan'er, and couldn't see the other party's face, but could only see Peng Erniu, who was facing her, frequently wiping the sweat on his forehead, and seemed to be a little anxious.
Su Pan'er raised her foot and was about to pass, but Zhang Da stopped her: "Ruan Qi, let's go this way." The work is heavy, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you more, you work harder and earn a few more coppers. It's the autumn harvest right now, and if you can't earn more, I'm afraid this winter will be sad. ”
"Thank you Brother Zhang for taking care of you, Ruan Qi knows."
Su Paner nodded in response.
I also talked to Zhang Da about the cargo storage place in the afternoon and which ship to send to. After she finished speaking, she turned around again, and the place where Peng Erniu was standing was already empty, and there was no other party.
Su Paner had no choice but to take a break for a while to immediately find the other party to ask the reason for the matter, and followed Zhang Da Da away.
In the afternoon, the goods to be carried on the ship are still a stone of millet and rice, which are all packed in hemp bags and carried directly onto the boat.
Su Paner also began to move.
It's just that she had just delivered a bag of hemp cargo to the cabin, and when she turned around, the other end suddenly became chaotic.
"Oh no! Something happened, someone died! Something happened! ”
Something went wrong?
Who is the man who died?
Su Pan'er was inexplicably startled, and hurriedly rushed to the place where the accident happened.
But when she arrived and desperately squeezed in front of the crowd, her heart sank to the ground!
The person who died was Peng Erniu, who was still talking eloquently!
Right now, Peng Erniu's eyes are bursting out, and a broken sail pole is inserted from the front chest, and then out of the back, which is obviously hopeless!
"I don't know what's going on, this sail pole was originally hung on the stern, and the boss of the ship said that it would be overhauled, so I was lowered. But before I could fix it, suddenly a strong wind blew and rolled up the sail, and the sail pole suddenly flew out, piercing him all at once......"
The argument continued, but it made Su Paner's heart go to the ground.
She stared firmly at the pole on the other's chest, then looked up in the direction of the big ship, and slowly narrowed her eyes.
Was it an accident?
The scene of Peng Erniu's previous conversation with the back figure resurfaced in her mind.
Also, Peng Erniu said before that he found something, but what did he find? Before he could say anything, something like this happened in the end, could it be......
The officers in charge of managing the law and order came quickly, and a group of people gathered around Hula and began to disperse the crowd.
Since ancient times, the people have not been investigated with the officials!
When everyone saw that the messenger was coming, they all stepped back and got out of the way.
Su Pan'er was no exception, she blended in the crowd that left, and couldn't help but look back at Peng Erniu, who was already dead. In the frightened eyes of the other party, it seemed that he was still looking at a certain point in the air. And so it stayed in her mind.
For an afternoon, Su Paner, who was slowly carrying goods, was thinking about the cause of Peng Erniu's death.
