Chapter Sixty-Eight: Two People with the Same Heart
Lu Xueyuan saw that the man was followed by several attendants, all wrapped in black and well-trained. And looking at the Lord Zheng again, he looked high up and fearless, and when he saw that they were about to take away the little brother, he stopped, "Wait! Without my permission, how can you take the people of my dock with you?"
"We've already paid for it, so why can't we take it with us? What's more, the overseer brother also allowed it!" Lu Xueyuan's eyebrows were raised, and he said impatiently. She hates this kind of bullying and backsliding people the most, not to mention that she was almost bumped into on the street today, and she hasn't settled accounts with him yet.
"That's what he said, I don't agree! This is my dock, it's up to me! What's more, your small ingot of gold can only be regarded as money for the loss of goods, but this person will continue to stay here to live!" Boss Zheng glanced at the overseer on the opposite side as he spoke, and said with a smile to Lu Xueyuan, but his eyes were full of shrewdness and cunning.
"You! Lu Xueyuan said to him, and wanted to say something more, but was blocked by Lou Yi.
"And what do you want to do? How much more do you want, make a price." Lou Yi looked disdainful and said indifferently.
The guy behind him stood up, carefully pulled the corner of his clothes and said, "Thank you... Guys, don't help me, really!"
When the boss heard this, he sneered sharply, "Hear me! He himself said, don't worry about you, don't leave here quickly, and then the construction period will be delayed, and you won't be able to afford how much!" Then Lou Yi and Lu Xueyuan left.
Lu Xueyuan just wanted to struggle to reason with them, but Lou Yi grabbed her arm and signaled her not to act rashly.
Then the two of them left the dock, but they did not go far, they looked at the lights on the dock from afar, and thought about something.
After Fang Cai's temptation, both of them felt a little strange, not at all like ordinary workers delivering goods, as if they were hiding something on this ground. And the population disappearance case in Hongmei Town during the afternoon snow viewing, as well as the recent disappearance of many people mentioned by the noodle stall owner, may really have something to do with the famous boss Zhou.
Thinking of the old woman waiting hard today, and the girl named "Ah Kite" crying bitterly, Lu Xueyuan's heart was filled with sourness.
"It's better to... We're pretending to be delivered!" The two said in unison. They looked at each other and smiled, and each understood their own thoughts.
After discussing, Lu Xueyuan and Lou Yi both pretended to be down-and-out men's clothes, Lou Yi was a man, but he was arrogant and noble, even if he was dressed normally, it was difficult to hide half a point, it was difficult for people to believe that he was a poor child of an ordinary family, so Lu Xueyuan took the opportunity to smear a handful of black ash on his face to cover his delicate and excessive facial features, which was barely a little down-and-out.
Lu Xueyuan is okay, dressed in men's clothes, except for being petite and thin, his appearance is more delicate and handsome, and he looks like a scholar, "The poor scholar is desperate, and the coolies on the dock make a living, how about it, my setting?" Lu Xueyuan raised his arm and quipped.
Lou Yi sneered, lightly wiped a piece of mud on her face, and replied with a smile, "Okay, what A-Yuan says is what it is."
The two took advantage of the clear moonlight to come to Fangcai's dock, and through the faint lights, they saw a row of people standing in the dark, and they were about to choose something, so the two hurriedly mixed into the team.
There was a supervisor with bright eyes who saw two living people who came out of nowhere mixed in, and just wanted to shout loudly, but Lu Xueyuan stopped his movements with a "shh
"Hey, money can make ghosts grind!" Lu Xueyuan sighed in his heart.
After that, I saw the big belly Zheng Daren, standing on the bank of the river and looking out into the wind, as if he was waiting for something. There were also a few attendants, standing in this line picking and choosing, as if they were looking at someone.
An attendant walked up to Lu Xueyuan, touched her thin arm, pinched her small shoulder, shook his head very dissatisfied, and turned around and walked to Lou Yi.
The attendant looked at Lou Yi's strong chest, slapped it with his hand several times, and then compared his height with his feet, and then patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "You!"
Lu Xueyuan saw that Lou Yi was selected, but he was not selected, he was very anxious, and said eagerly: "Hey, hey, big brother, I can't do it!" I'm sturdy too!" As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong and thin arms, and bowed out a few muscles.
The people around laughed when they saw this, and the eldest brother saw "him" so eager and funny, and said with bad intentions: "I said that you are sour and talented, so let's wait for you to cook a few more bowls of rice and nourish your fat, and then come back!"
Lu Xueyuan was about to be annoyed when he heard this, but he saw Lou Yi bowing slightly, and said, "This eldest brother, he came here with me, because the family is really difficult, so he is desperate, and I also ask the eldest brother to be kind, let's get on the boat together!" After saying that, he smiled, and out of nowhere, he took out a few copper plates and stuffed them into the hands of the attendants.
The attendant advanced the money, glanced at Lou Yi and Lu Xueyuan a few times, and said with a slanted corner of his mouth: "It's still you kid who knows the goods, and you will be developed in the future, don't look at buddy!"
"Wherever you are, you will never forget the kindness of your eldest brother!" Lou Yi clenched his fists and said.
With his respectful appearance, Lu Xueyuan was so amused in his heart that he was about to laugh, but he was stopped by a shout.
"The ship has arrived!"
Hearing the sound, the group standing on the shore looked across the embankment, and saw a small boat, rowing in the water, leaning against the shore with a "cluck".
A young man in his teens got down from the boat, dressed in azure blue clothes, which looked like the clothes of a disciple of a certain sect.
When Boss Zheng saw him, he put away his previous arrogant appearance and said respectfully, "Immortal Venerable, Immortal Venerable has come out this time?"
"The master of my house did not go out of the valley, but called me." As he spoke, the young man glanced at the row of young men standing on the shore, and then turned to say, "What about people? Are you all arranged?"
"Yes, yes, it's all arranged!" Master Zheng said, glanced at his subordinates, and saw the attendant who had just selected people running towards Lu Xueyuan and them.
Lu Xueyuan saw Boss Zheng bowing his knees and shaking his head at the young man, he only felt a burst of nausea, most of the people in the world are greedy for profit, and when they see someone lower than themselves, they are arrogant, looking high, and when they see someone who needs to be clinged to, they shake their heads and tails, and they don't have the same appearance at all, but they are really "able to bend and stretch"! What she looks down on the most is this kind of person, who is inconsistent on the outside and on the outside, and tends to be inflammatory.
But it's this kind of person who is the most powerful. ……
"You, you! You, and you!" The squire walked past them and tapped several of them on the shoulder.
Lu Xueyuan didn't have time to think about it, so he was pulled by Lou Yi and walked to the cabin.
When they walked past the young man with their heads down, they didn't know who pushed them, Lu Xueyuan's body was unstable, and he was grabbed by Lou Yi, and he just raised his head to meet the young man's eyes.
The boy glanced at the two of them carefully, and suddenly turned his head again. At his glance, Lu Xueyuan, who saw it, was angry, and almost thought that he was going to show his stuffing.
Just when the two of them followed the team to the ship, they found that the cabin, which was not too big or small, was carrying exactly twelve people, all of whom looked young and strong, and looked like they could endure hardships. Everyone was dressed very plainly, some of them had their clothes patched and patched, and some were simply naked.
Lu Xueyuan glanced at it and quickly lowered her head, while Lou Yi used her body to block in front of her.
"A-Yuan, you don't have to come with me." Lou Yihu whispered in her ear.
"How's that going to work? How can I rest assured that you are alone!" Lu Xueyuan lay on his back and muttered secretly.
At this moment, the young man they had helped rescue before suddenly spotted the two of them, pointed at Lu Xueyuan and said, "You... How did you do this...", before the word "appearance" could be spoken, Lu Xueyuan hurriedly interrupted it. Z.br>
"Shhhhhh Lu Xueyuan put his finger to his lips and said, "Don't be afraid, we are here to help you."
The boy nodded.
"Don't talk to each other!" Suddenly, a strong, fierce-looking man came in from the cabin and yelled at them.
The teenage boy then came in, looked at the full number of heads in the cabin, and handed a small bottle
The strong man commanded, "The old rule, one grain per person." Then he walked out of the cabin.
Lu Xueyuan looked at the bottle in his hand, glanced at Lou Yi, and then nodded.
"Little brother, don't eat it!" Lu Xueyuan said to the young man with his lips.
The child's eyes were confused, and he nodded as if he didn't understand.
At this moment, the strong man took the bottle and exported the pill, walked into the cabin, came to them, and said to the twelve people in the boat, "The valley master is afraid that you will work hard, and the special seasickness medicine is only one pill per person, so hurry up and eat it!"
Lu Xueyuan said in his heart, "I believe you are a ghost!" , but at the same time as the strong man handed over the medicine, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, and glanced at Lou Yi, both of them pretended to swallow, but actually hid the pill in their hands.
When the young man saw that he had both eaten, he threw up his head and swallowed the pill down his throat.
As expected, after a while, a dozen young people in the cabin began to fall asleep, and then staggered to the next and done.
And the young man who Lu Xueyuan had warned not to take pills was already leaning on the goods next to him at this moment, sleeping soundly.
"Fool!" Lu Xueyuan spoke up and scolded in a low voice.
Lou Yi looked at the person who was already sleeping next to him, reached out and touched the person's pulse and breathing, and said, "It's okay, it's just that I'm in a coma."
"But why are they doing this? Is it really just a fear of seasickness?" Lu Xueyuan stared at the dark red pill in his hand and said.
"Not at all." Lou Yi watched her movements, something unclear flashed in her eyes, "They tricked people into getting on the boat on the grounds of high prices, saying that they were going to work as helpers on the other side of the river, but in my opinion, this is definitely not the case." His face was solemn, and his thoughts were confused.
