The breathing of several workers was rapid, obviously tempting.

The person in charge of Hai Ge said: "We Hai Ge will send people to garrison the dock, everyone can work at ease, and we will tell you immediately if we find a sea monster." ”

"I'll run faster when the sea monster comes out, there are so many people, not necessarily me, and there are people from Hai Ge stationed there. One worker thought.

Several workers had similar ideas.

Li Ang followed a few people back to work, but everyone was trembling, and a few members of the Haige gang with sticks walked to the shore of the dock, which made everyone feel a lot more relieved.

After finishing his work in the afternoon, Leon received 20 copper coins, and this month's rent was paid.

More than a dozen wharf workers also received 20 copper coins, and they were all elated, and they only gave 20 copper coins for an average of three days to lift iron in the steel factory, which made a lot of money.

On the way home with money, Li Ang also looked at the buildings on both sides of the road with interest, most of the shops on the street are two-storey, some are three- or four-story buildings or even higher, and most of the residential areas are bungalows.

"Ding Ding Ding!" a bell rang in the distance.

A railroad steam locomotive pulled several carriages across the street, and Leon and pedestrians waited on either side of the tracks.

After the steam car drove over the tracks, the streets were bustling again.

From time to time, a horse-drawn carriage ran past the road, and at the intersection there was a uniformed man directing traffic.

When Leon returned to the southern city, there were no railroad tracks or steam locomotives on the road, and the number of horse-drawn carriages gradually decreased, and this was the civilian area of Sinai, inhabited by craftsmen and workers or shopkeepers.

When he got home, the landlady's aunt Becky was sitting in front of the door sewing clothes, and she was white when she saw Leon returning.

Li Ang has not eaten enough in the past few days, and she is hungry and full, she is very suspicious that Li Ang can't pay the rent, and he has no good face in the past few days.

"Aunt Becky, this month's rent. Leon took 10 copper coins and handed them to her.

"Hmm!" said Vegie's face looked better.

Leon went back to the basement, washed up, ate some leftovers, and lay down in bed, carrying the day's goods, his legs as heavy as lead.

"I might be able to apply for a job to drive a train, it's not difficult, and I can also be a groom, it's better than this, it's too tiring. Li Ang looked forward to his future life and slowly fell asleep.

At this time, the Haige Gang's gang station was brightly lit, and a group of people were in a meeting.

"Jason, how much do we earn today when the dockers are paid 20 copper coins?"

Bales is one of the leaders of the gang and has been coveting Jason's position for a long time, and today he feels like his chance has come.

Jason looked at Bales and was not annoyed, and said calmly: "There are always sea monsters eating people these days, who will do it if you don't raise the salary?" Boss Quake, let Bales do it in charge of this dock, I believe he will do it better than me." ”

Bales is not stupid, he may not do better than Jason now, he just wants to embarrass him a little, and he is not doing it now to be the head of the dock.

"Boss Quake, if Jason does something wrong, deduct his salary this month, and give him a chance to make amends. Bales said.

Quake saw that the two of them stopped talking, and said: "You are not wrong, there are always sea monsters attacking dock workers these days, and no one will come if the wages are not raised, but the salary of 20 copper coins is too high, and it will be lowered in two days." ”

Oak said: "Boss Quake, can you invite the big people of the church, there are a few brothers stationed at the docks today and have some opinions. ”

Ork is the leader of the dock stationed on the beach today, and his brother complains that he has to go and garrison himself, and what if there is a sea monster he is worried that he will not be able to escape.

Quake looked at several leaders and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go and ask the adults of the church to deal with it, this time it's a big expense, everyone's salary will be halved for three months, including me." ”

Several leaders looked at each other, saying that they had deflated their pockets, but Boss Quake was also halved, and they had nothing to say.

The next day, Leon had a luxurious breakfast, a brown loaf and a night of yogurt.

"It's two copper coins. The boss said.

Leon took out two copper coins and handed them over.

Brown bread is not expensive, only five tacels, which is half a copper coin, and yogurt is a copper coin and a half.

Yogurt made with fresh milk is thick and sweetened, so it is naturally very expensive.

"Hiccup!" Leon burped after taking a few steps.

Yogurt with brown bread is delicious, but it is too expensive, and milk products are a food that can only be enjoyed by the rich and nobles.

These days are a special situation, and you have to eat some nutritious food.

When the time comes, the sea monster will come, and the things that others eat without nutrition will not be as good as him physically, and his chances of survival will naturally be greater.

There are obviously more people looking for work at the docks today, and although they have heard of the two sea monster attacks here, the 20 copper coins a day really attract a lot of people.

A worker from yesterday asked, "Is it still 20 copper coins today?"

"Yes, it's still 20 copper coins. Jason said.

Recently, there was an accident at the dock, and Jason had to come out and recruit people in person.

Some members of the Haige gang are still stationed on the shore of the dock as they were yesterday, which makes the workers feel a lot more at ease.

Looking at the workers rushing up, Li Ang squeezed in with great effort to register.

Seeing that the members of the Sea Song Gang are all ugly, thinking about it, it is not surprising that the leaders who give so much wages to the workers will be less, plus the ordinary members face the death threat of the sea monster, their faces are good-looking.

When Leon carried the goods and walked off the ship, he was always vigilant, and if he found something wrong, he was ready to throw away the goods and run away.

When it was close to noon, several big people came to the dock, and the big and small leaders of Hai Ge stood on the dock to greet them.

Quake greeted him with a smile and said, "A few adults are here, and there are a lot fewer ships docked in the port these days......"

"Kaya, do you sense the breath of a sea monster?" said a man with a huge firearm on his back.

"I smelled a little bit of the remnants of the sea monster, but it was very faint. Kaya said and asked Quake, "When was the last time a sea monster attacked shore?"

Quake smiled and said, "It was yesterday, Lord Kaya. ”

Kaya's face instantly turned cold, "Is my name also what you can call?"

Quake hurriedly bent down and smiled, "Yes, my lord, I am not worthy!"

Quake breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Master Kaya didn't pursue him further.

Asking these night watchmen to cost him a lot, half of the salary of the entire gang members for three months, plus the favors he begged for help everywhere.

If he leaves because he makes the adults unhappy because of his words, he will have no place to cry.

Compared with money, what makes him even more reluctant is human favors, which are used once less, and the favors accumulated over the years are almost used.

The dock workers, organized by Willings, suspended the loading of goods, leaving room for a few of the Night's Watch adults.
