"The innkeeper wants to hurt us too?" The pony still doesn't get it.

"We're not that famous, and people can't afford to wade into troubled waters when they open stores, and someone can pay to rent a room." Since the tiger and the scalper have understood, according to the principle that the minority obeys the majority, it doesn't matter whether the pony understands it or not. Hong Tao waved his hand and signaled that he could go back to the car.

“…… They just spent money to rent a bunch of empty rooms just to leave us with nowhere to live? The pony didn't leave, and he didn't think it made sense. Even if you don't have a room to live in, you can set up a tent and camp, but the innkeeper will definitely not return the money after the money is spent, who would do such a stupid thing!

"......" Hong Tao nodded at the tiger and took out the map from his arms.

"Brother, the drivers who come here to pull goods are not only these, they will arrive one after another. As long as they force us out, they can completely transfer the room out, and they won't lose a penny. "Tiger is still very patient with his brother.

“…… So if we pitch a tent...... Let's go, it smells so bad that I can't necessarily fall asleep. "It is said that a key opens a lock, and the rusty lock of the pony has to be opened by the tiger. This time, he not only figured it out, but also extended it.

"Don't let winter go through the strait, I'm gone; The living corpse is terrible, we raise it; The adjudicator is powerful, let's kill it; The head snake is not aggressive, and we have provoked it; A broken road, why walk...... Syllable...... Drive! ”

A few minutes later, Hong Tao put away the map, danced a whip, urged the carriage, and led the way out of the cold, damp and smelly small fishing village. Two horse-drawn wagons loaded with goods then set to life, their wheels rumbling against the broken pavement.

The gloomy sky is getting lower and lower, and the sea breeze is blowing the hem of the clothes and hunting. The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone, everything is perfect, but the whip flower is not too brittle. The Krimu dance sounded, he was like a damp firecracker, snapping......

This scene was all watched by the coachmen at the door of the tavern, and most of them didn't care. Every year, the alliance hires a transport team to come here to transport sea cargo several times, and there are all kinds of cars coming and going.

"Hmph, the flower shelf ......" But there were two tables of coachmen's eyes that had been following the four-wheeled carriage, and there were more than ten of them in all, mainly in their thirties and forties, and the black-faced man in the fur coat was faintly led by the black-faced man in the fur coat. Hearing the sound of Hong Tao's whip, the man sneered and commented.

"Brother Gang, shouldn't we move?" The two tables laughed together, and then someone asked.

"Don't worry, they have a lot of loads on the car, and they can't run fast on this kind of road. Third, you take someone to set up the car first, and then set off in ten minutes! "The black-faced man known as Brother Gang is slightly younger, in his thirties, with a square face and thick eyebrows, a bit of a nasal voice, and a very imposing gesture.

"Gangzi, there are hard ideas in this group, especially the two people in the first car. Just squeeze them out, do you have to make a feud? "Sitting next to the black-faced man was an older man, not tall and not strong, but with very bright eyes.

"Uncle, it's not that we want to make enemies, it's that people have stepped on our heads. Every year, we have to run two or three times to pull seafood, but this year is good, there are still three cars left at home that can only run short distances. If you haven't said it yet, if you can't wait for next year, you will have to step on the next foot, and you can't retreat! ”

When Brother Gang heard the old man speak, he immediately dispersed the anger on his face, not only did his tone soften, but even his voice was much lower, and there were more explanations than decisions in his tone, full of discussion.

"Yes, uncle, we can't bear it! Uncle, you can't retreat! Uncle, didn't you say who made us uncomfortable, no one should think about being comfortable, with them! ”

There were a few of the coachmen present who were more emotional and made statements, and some of them threw their wine bowls on the ground, so frightened that the tavern owner hurriedly ran out to see if the coachmen were drunk and fighting again.

He didn't care what it was like, it was close to the shipyard, and there was a Union army sentry just a few minutes away. Whoever tosses out of the circle is unlucky, but whoever breaks it must see clearly, and the small business cannot afford to lose.

"What a nonsense! Go and go, when you drink enough, you will help set up the car, and my uncle and I have something to talk about. Lao Wang, don't be afraid, count together when you check out! Brother Gang's face sank, and he puffed up a beast-like momentum, and shouted to disperse his subordinates, and then took the loss of the tavern owner.

"Gangzi, we were newcomers in the first two years, and we can't stand up if we don't be ruthless, but this is not a long-term way, do you know how to shoot the first bird? I know you want to make the convoy bigger, and it is also appropriate for young people to be high-spirited, but this matter cannot be rushed, and it is not enough to be bold and bold. ”

"Look at the people in the safe zone who have heads and faces, which one of them doesn't have the relationship above. We are now jumping on one leg, always missing a leg, we can't be too fast, it's easy to fall on our heels if it's fast! As long as you fall, someone will come and step on it immediately, and you can't easily get up! ”

The people at the table were gone, and the old man took out a copper cigarette pouch and pot more than a long length from his pocket, took out the leather bag hanging underneath and filled it with tobacco, and lit it with the lighter that Gangzi handed over. After two sips, he slowly talked about his perception of life.

"Uncle, I understand what you said, and I've been trying to find a way to find another leg. But this time it's too annoying, the transport team with many cars is not our family, and no one else moved, but our list was deducted, if there is no reaction, others should think that we are easy to bully. ”

Brother Gang is not bored with the old man's chatter, he can go from a penniless homeless person to today, it can't be said that he didn't have his own efforts, but he can't do without the old man's support and help. As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, there is an uncle in charge, and the heart is a lot more steady.

"Alas, it's the companies that bill them, not them. I always think this thing is weird, according to the rules, long-distance will not be sent to newcomers, Zhou Tong is not a newcomer, can he not understand? If you want to say that it is a related household of the company, you don't need to run this road, and you can squeeze out a little bit to eat for three cars. ”

"Even if it is not deducted from the attached transport team, it should not only be deducted from our family, just find two or three families, and each family will have a car, who can say anything? I wasn't there when I picked up the job, if you think about it carefully, Zhou Tong said that he didn't say anything about Gong Huo'er. If there is, then we will let him be a gunman. ”

Brother Gang's respect is not redundant at all, although the old man has not seen many things with his own eyes, but he guessed the facts only by his life experience and understanding of the industry, which is very close to reality.

"Whew...... Zhou Tong said that they came from the south of the city, and the relationship was quite tough, and he couldn't wipe off his face. He also said that the three of them were just exploring the road, and there were several new cars behind them, and they threatened to make the largest transport team......"

Following the old man's train of thought, the determined look in Brother Gang's eyes began to waver, and he held his chin and thought carefully about his words and deeds in the hall that day, as if it was a little strange.

"Have you inquired about their details?" The more the old man listened, the more frowning.

“…… My brain is also rusty, and Lao Yu is in the south of the city, why didn't I think to ask. Wait, his man has arrived, I'll look for it! ”

These words were like a bolt of lightning that split all the grievances in Brother Gang's mind, and his reason came back online, and he immediately realized the big negligence. If someone releases such words, then the first person to know should not be Zhou Tong, nor should it be himself, but the transport team of the Chengnan Security Zone.

"Sit down, how old are you and still so frizzy, how can you be confused for a while? Think about it, except for Chang'an, the alliance only has a horse farm in the north of the city. ”

"Carriages can be made by themselves, but mules and horses can't be born by themselves, right? If they want to get such a large transport team, it is not something that three or five mules and horses can solve, and you haven't paid attention to how many mules and horses are in stock in the horse farm in front of our house? ”

This old man looked quite average when he was not powerful, but once he raised his eyebrows, there was still a lot of sharp light in his big bright eyes, and he had already suppressed Brother Gang from the momentum.

"Smack...... I forgot about it! Brother Gang raised his hand when he heard this, and gave himself a big mouth.

"Gangzi, have you been trained again? Brother Tong, you can't just use your mouth, you have to use the soles of your shoes to smoke ...... Hahaha......" This move immediately attracted the attention of the coachmen next to them, everyone originally bowed their heads and didn't look up, most of them knew each other, and some people were not afraid of big things when they saw the excitement.
