Chapter 2 Dockers, Octopus Sea Monsters

The scene on the dock was a little different from what Leon had imagined, and there was a bleak atmosphere, there were quite a few ships docked on the dock, but there was not a single dock worker.

"Could it be that the docks are closed today?"

Sinaicheng is an emerging port city, and there are many steel mills and textile factories in the city, and the daily port capacity should be very large.

Leon walked over to the dock workers, he wanted someone to ask what was going on.

"Recruit dock workers, 10 copper coins a day. ”

Hearing the voice, Leon looked over to see a man who looked like a gang gangster shouting at the crowd.

In a place like the dock, there are gangs.

Leon walked over and listened to some people pointing.

"10 copper coins, a lot, don't you give 3 copper coins a day?"

"Several people died on the dock yesterday, and it is said that they were eaten by monsters, who dares to go now!"

“......”

Leon listened to a few people talking, and learned that the dock was the territory of a gang called Hai Ge.

Yesterday there was an accident at the docks, and a few monsters who didn't know where they came from ate a few dock workers, and now people are scared away.

"Recruit dock workers, 15 copper coins a day. The thug shouted and raised the copper coin.

The gangsters raised the price to 15 copper coins a day and stopped raising the price, and a few people were very tempted to listen to the price, and they signed up as soon as they gritted their teeth.

"You can't have an accident every day, I signed up too!" said a young man in tattered clothes.

Li Ang also stepped forward to register, and now he has some self-protection power, at least he has a lot of strength.

Even if something happens at that time, he can't beat the monster and run faster than others.

"What's your name?" said the thug.

"Leon!" Leon said.

"15 copper coins a day, you have to pay 2 copper coins to the gang as a management fee, and if someone troubles you, they will come to us. The thug said.

"Hmm!" Leon said.

The first few people who signed up were like this, and he didn't say anything, 13 copper coins had exceeded his expectations.

After a while, a dozen more men were summoned, and the thugs led them to the side of the boat and had a few words with a man named Malins, who was in charge of their work.

"Come with me and carry the cargo on this ship. Malins waved his hand and headed for a ship.

Li Ang picked up a sack, he didn't feel too heavy, and looking at the other people bending over and struggling, he also pretended to be pressed by the sack.

Carrying the sack back and forth a few times, Li Ang has always been not slow or fast, and the speed of others is about the same, and the money is not much to resist and not give much money by day.

After the Haige gang raised their wages several times, it was full of workers in less than half a day, and there were dock workers carrying goods everywhere, and there was a busy scene on the dock.

One down, Leon earned 7 copper coins and paid a management fee of 2 copper coins.

Leon is very adaptable to this kind of work, which is tiring for others, but easy for him.

"I wonder where else is this infected bone shelf?"

Li Ang paid the gas bill of three copper coins, and the rent was still nine days due and he was not in a hurry, and the gas could not be used without paying the money.

The remaining two copper coins bought flour and salt, and in the evening he made a soup with flour, without vegetables, but salt.

The basement is a little damp, and by the time it's a little darker, it's completely dark.

Leon went to bed early, and Malins said he would see them at dawn.

Today, Li Ang came to the dock early, and many workers on the dock also came, and some people asked if they could recruit anyone.

When a few more workers came, Malins said, "Today is 10 copper coins." ”

"Why 10 copper coins? Wasn't it 15 copper coins yesterday?"

A worker was in a hurry, and went to the management fee of 2 copper coins, and could only get 8 copper coins, which was 5 copper coins short of yesterday's wages.

"If you don't want to do it, you can go, there are still a lot of people lined up over there!" said Malins.

Several workers looked at each other, no one left, and although 10 copper coins were a little less than yesterday, they were still a lot.

"Hmph!" Malins knew that these people would not leave, and now that there were more people, the gang would definitely not let these workers continue to take advantage.

By the afternoon, there were more workers on the docks to do the hauling, and from time to time Malins urged them to hurry.

"Don't be lazy, do my work!"

Everyone was obviously not as relaxed as yesterday, and Li Ang naturally pretended to be more tired.

"Ahh

Everyone looked at the seashore and didn't know when a huge octopus came out, rolled a worker into his mouth, and more tentacles rolled towards the workers.

"Run, there's a sea monster!"

“......”

There was chaos on the docks, and people were running out.

After the octopus kraken swept a few people, it dived into the sea, and everyone watched from a distance after running a long distance, panting for breath, glad that they were still alive.

After about half an hour, a few church knights on horseback came.

"Where's the person in charge here, come and meet me!" shouted one of the knights as he dismounted.

A middle-aged man who looked like he had a scar on his face trotted over and said with a smile, "Dear Knight, I am the person in charge here. ”

"Where did the sea monster go?" asked the knight.

"My lord, the sea monster swept up a few people, and then dived. ”

“......”

Several knights walked to the beach and looked at it, and after saying a few words to the people of Haige, they rode away.

If the monsters on land can still be found, the sea is obviously beyond their capabilities.

"How can there be a sea monster near the port of Sinai, haven't the adults cleaned up this area of pollution?" said one of the knights.

"Who knows? It could be new pollution. ”

When Leon saw the giant octopus just now, in addition to being afraid, he also had a longing in his heart to eat it.

"How could I have such a dangerous thought?" Li Ang felt that his heart was really big.

"Give us the money, half of it, it's too dangerous, I'll quit. ”

"Yes, give us the money, there are sea monsters, it's too dangerous. "The workers all asked for money from Haige's people.

"You can't give money if you don't finish your work, our Haige Gang is not a charity. Hai Ge's man said.

"I don't want money!" a worker didn't even want money, and left after speaking.

One after another, several workers followed.

The person in charge of Hai Ge also had a headache when he saw it, although they were a gang, they were not casual and could not fight and kill.

Now the workers don't even want money, and who dares to carry goods for them when there are accidents at the dock one after another.

The owners of these ships are people they can't afford to provoke, and if they delay the transportation of goods, they can't be spared.

"Come back, 20 copper coins a day! 20 copper coins! 20 copper coins for today's work. The person in charge of Hai Ge shouted.

"You Hai Ge's words don't count, yesterday I gave 15 copper coins, today I will give 10. ”

"Yes, we came at the risk of giving us so little. ”

The person in charge of Hai Ge said with a smile: "I promise that in the future, it will be 20 copper coins a day, and I will take care of the meal at noon, the sea monster has left, we will send people to garrison here, you can rest assured......"

"You also need a management fee of 2 copper coins, and we can only get 18 copper coins. One worker said.

"I don't want the management fee. "The person in charge of Haige was overjoyed, the salary was higher, and the most important thing was that there were people willing to work.
