Chapter 136: You Like Her Too
On the way to Fuxu Port, Li Shan and Ding Li revealed a lot of news, although there were even a lot of casualties in the middle of the goods this time, but most of the compensation was taken care of by the Zhang Chamber of Commerce and the local garrison. And Li Shan also revealed that, as Miao Cuihua said before, this trip to the dart did earn a lot, even after the death of the dart master was distributed, it was enough for everyone to pay for an ordinary month.
Ding Li is only the first time to come into contact with such a thing, and he can understand a little bit while being surprised, don't look at how much the dart masters make, but this kind of thing is not every day, not to mention that he may lose his life at any time, this kind of thing to pin his head to his waist, after all, not everyone is willing to do.
The morning sun is rising, the morning light is sprinkled in Fuxu Port, the whole wharf is shrouded in a thin layer of pale gold, and the South China Sea is steaming with thick mist, and this Fuxu Port has long been overcrowded, various merchants have brought people here to load and unload, but they maintain good order with each other.
It wasn't until the convoy of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce entered through the huge gate of the wharf that the order around seemed to change in an instant, and everyone was intentionally or unintentionally trying to give up a wide enough passage for the convoy, especially the look of awe in the eyes of the young men who were working as coolies at the wharf when they were close to the coast, which not only made the people of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce who accompanied the convoy very useful, but also shocked Qin Mo, who was the latest to submit to Ding Li, and even looked at Ding Li again with a little more complicated eyes.
"Brother Li?! Brother Li! ”
Suddenly, a thick shout came from not far away, Ding Li turned his head to look, and found that it was Aguda, and beside Aguda, who was excited, was Zhang Wu with a meaningful smile on his face, the former immediately rushed up after seeing that it was indeed Ding Li, while Zhang Wu followed slowly and thoughtfully at Ding Li, as if this was the first time the two had met.
"Aguda! Long time no see, why are you still at the docks? Ding Li hurriedly stepped up to meet him, slapped Aguda twice on his strong arm, and asked with a smile.
"Come here to help, Second Brother and Brother Wu asked me to come over!" Aguda smiled innocently, and after answering, he suddenly leaned forward, and added with a mysterious low smile: "Brother Li, our Nanhai Gang has recently made a big name in Fuxu Harbor!" But the second brother said that it is precisely because of this that we must be more careful! No, Xiaonanhai has been handed over to Lu Dachi for the time being, and the second brother will transfer me! After all, there are too many people in Fuxu Hong Kong now, in case there is an incident, there are many of our brothers, so we don't have to worry too much about any big mess! ”
"Well, how was the injury last time?" Ding Li nodded understandingly, and looked at the other party with a smile, for Ding Li, he still likes the bold and honest Aguda very much.
"It's okay, it's just a small injury, there are a lot of precious medicinal materials in the second brother's mansion, it's fine in a few days!" Aguda immediately raised his hand and patted his strong chest, and replied with a proud smile.
As he spoke, Zhang Wu arrived in front of him, and bowed his hand slightly towards Ding Li, but his tone was a little strange, and even the smile on his face was quite meaningful: "Brother Li, don't come to harm!" ”
"I haven't seen you for many days, Brother Wu don't come unharmed!" Ding Li smiled and returned the salute, he could think in his heart that Zhang Wu was deliberately doing this for the sake of his previous unquit things, and he didn't care about the other party, and was about to change the topic away, but was interrupted by a cold snort from Zhang Wu on the other side.
"Humph! Don't dare, don't dare How dare you bear such a title! Zhang Wu was indeed still dissatisfied with the previous events, it was supposed to be a good celebration banquet, but it was completely messed up by Ding Li's sudden departure, this is not counting, in the following days, not only Zhang Yurou did not give Zhang Wu a good face, but even Zhang Mingzhi kept a calm face all day long, and it was not until Uncle Xiang arrived a few days ago that the situation improved.
"Brother Wu is laughing, laughing!" Ding Li knew that what he did last time was a little lacking in consideration, so he hurriedly laughed and avoided the topic, then took a step forward and lowered his voice to remind the other party: "Brother Wu, what did the brother lacked last time, and then personally set up a drink to apologize to Brother Wu!" But with so many people right now, Brother Wu can't grasp such a trivial matter and refuse to let go of his brother, right? ”
"Humph! Bagatelle? Brother Li, you are not afraid of heaven and earth, so you can say that it is a trivial matter! Zhang Wu snorted coldly again, but the second half of the sentence had turned into a low mutter, and at the same time shook his head full of complaints and whitened Ding Li's eyes, but since Ding Li had taken the initiative to soften, Zhang Wu was indeed not good at doing more entanglement, so he turned sideways and snorted a few times dissatisfiedly, but finally turned his head and looked at Ding Li suspiciously: "Brother Li, why did you suddenly come to Fuxu?" If I hadn't met Fan Ying when I passed by the barracks as soon as possible, I would have thought that Brother Li would still be intoxicated by the gentle township of Guangzhou City! ”
"Don't mention it! It's still gentle, and I almost didn't toss this bone when I went back! Hearing Zhang Wu's ill-intentioned jokes, Ding Li took the opportunity to show a bitter face, shook his head helplessly and sighed: "If I had known, I wouldn't have gone back so early, such a big mess, it's good for you to go back and clean up Brother Wu!" It's good now, it's thankless, and you're still in the notoriety of being drunk and gentle! ”
"Okay, okay, no kidding you!" Seeing this, Zhang Wu didn't want to continue to joke, he also learned a lot from Uncle Xiang about what happened to Ding Li in Guangzhou City, and it was indeed difficult for a period of time since Ding Li went back to Guangzhou City last time. Then Zhang Wuchang sighed, turned his head and glanced at the convoy that had already been busy, stretched out his hand and pulled Ding Li, stepped forward and said with a mysterious face: "Brother Li, how did you talk to Uncle Xiang?" And Uncle Fu's side! And I listen to Uncle Xiang, it seems that I am still very interested in you! ”
"What's so strange about this, isn't the Nanhai Gang supported by the Zhang Chamber of Commerce? I work for the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, is Uncle Xiang's reaction strange? Ding Li glanced at Zhang Wu, and responded to the other party very naturally, but he also felt very puzzled in his heart, since the last time Uncle Xiang sent Heizi to test him, he took himself to Mingxiang Teahouse to introduce Uncle Fu, Ding Li also felt that Uncle Xiang's attitude towards him was very strange, but Ding Li didn't understand the reason, he could only rely on his intuition to affirm that Uncle Xiang had no ill will towards him, including the sunspot arranged by his side, Ding Li didn't even feel that Heizi had any motive to spy on him.
After listening to Ding Li's explanation, Zhang Wu pursed his lips disdainfully, and then muttered a few words in a low voice, and then asked Ding Li: "Brother Li, you came to Fuxu this time for the goods of the Cao Chamber of Commerce?" ”
"Of course! Otherwise, what are you doing all the way here? You and your second brother are both here, is it possible that there is still a lack of me! Ding Li glanced at Zhang Wu, frowned and asked the other party: "Brother Wu, why haven't you seen you for a while, why do you feel that your brain is slow?" ”
"Hey! Don't mention it! Hearing this, Zhang Wu's face immediately turned into a bitter gourd, waved his hand at Ding Li, and sighed with a resentful face: "Since you left overnight last time, until Uncle Xiang arrived two days ago, the second brother has not paid attention to anything, locked himself in the room every day, and occasionally got drunk!" Even Sister Rou rarely shows up, for such a long time, I have had two meals with their sister and brother, and there are less than ten words spoken during the banquet, and it is only a quarter of an hour before and after! No, so the second brother even threw away the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, all the things are handled by me, plus Guangzhou Port was seized, this Fuxu Port is busy every day, and I can't rest for more than three hours a day! ”
As he spoke, Zhang Wu turned around and pointed to his bloated eye sockets and continued to complain to Ding Li: "Do you look at it? I went back last night on the fourth watch, and I came out again after the fifth watch! Except for being able to rest in the carriage for a while on the way here, I only have two hours of sleep a day! ”
"Hey! It's also hard for you! Ding Li glanced at the other party sympathetically, smiled and smiled at Aguda, who was not far away in the crowd and commanded the busy, and asked with a smile: "I think Brother Aguda is also quite busy, is it possible that he can't help you here?" This time, it's all the Aguda brothers who are busy, and you're talking to me here! ”
"Brother Li, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk!" Hearing this, Zhang Wu bumped Ding Li with his shoulder dissatisfiedly, and scratched the slightly unkempt hair on the top of his head very distressedly, and then his face showed a little relief: "Alas! This is just learned, a while ago, the Aguda brothers came here to stand guard! I don't understand anything, I'm not even familiar with the wharf of this Fuxu Port, and he can lose himself when he walks around! ”
"Hahaha! You're a bad guy! Listening to Zhang Wu's exaggerated complaints, Ding Li smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, but he could also understand some of Zhang Wu's difficulties in his heart, after all, the business of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce in Fuxu Port has also increased suddenly, in addition to this, we must always be on guard against the Cao Chamber of Commerce, which is also unloading goods here, a huge group, with Zhang Wu's ability, it is indeed a little difficult to do.
"Huh! Brother Li, tell you something! Zhang Wu looked at the busy crowd in front of him with annoyance, shook his head in disappointment, and quickly turned his thoughts to other places, and suddenly bumped his shoulder against Ding Li, who was looking at Ding Li around him with interest, and then grabbed Ding Li's arm, and dragged Ding Li to a quiet corner without saying anything, staring at Ding Li mysteriously, and opened his mouth with a meaningful smile: "During this time, the two maids beside Sister Rou can often pretend to inadvertently inquire about your situation in the house. Another time, I happened to bump into it! ”
Hearing this, Ding Li chuckled violently in his heart, and looked at Zhang Wu with a little more panic in his eyes, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pretending to be calm and glanced at Zhang Wu, and responded lightly: "How about that?" I thought it was a big deal! ”
"Brother Li, do you think you and the second brother can hide it from me? I'll tell you the truth, I just don't say anything about the matter between the three of you, but I can see it clearly! Zhang Wu stretched out his hand and pushed Ding Li, very dissatisfied with Ding Li's pretending performance, and then the smile on his face suddenly swept away, staring at Ding Li with a serious face and a torch, and then the words he said were undoubtedly thrown out of a bombshell, and it was smashed on Ding Li's very fragile heart: "Sister Rou likes you, you like her too!" ”
Almost instantly, this bombshell exploded violently, with a loud bang, Ding Li was a little dizzy, and he didn't know how to face it for a while, but the sun above his head seemed to be extraordinarily bright, and Ding Li couldn't open his eyes at all.
