Chapter 21: Ask the young grandmother for help
Back to the dock...
Seeing that there was still a while before the meal, Liu Shen thought about going back to his residence to take a shower, but before he could take off his clothes, he saw Hu Dahai helping an injured porter back to his residence.
The porter's skin was peeled and he staggered when he walked, and the scars on his body looked as if he had just been whipped by a whip.
Hu Dahai obviously also saw Liu Shen and called, "Brother Shen, come and help me." ”
Hearing this, Liu Shen also ran over to help him, looked at the whip marks on the porter's body, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Huzi, are you breaking the rules of heaven?" ”
The wounded porter sighed from between his teeth and muttered viciously: "I committed a fucking ghost, I didn't read the yellow calendar when I went out." ”
"Didn't do anything?"
Liu Shen was secretly speechless when he heard this, and said, "Then Xu Bantou is too ruthless, right?" ”
"It wasn't Xu Bantou who hit him..."
Hu Dahai on the side sighed and said, "It's the young gang." ”
"Young helper?"
Liu Shen was slightly stunned when he heard this.
He knew that the only person who could be called the young gang leader by the people in his industry was Zhang Shichen, the only son of the Chishui Gang who had been advocating for ten thousand years.
He hadn't met Zhang Shichen, but he knew that this person was notorious in Heyang County, and he was a real second ancestor.
He doesn't learn and has no skills, has a bad stomach, and has a bad habit, and likes to harm good family women the most.
When I was taking care of the Chishui Gang's industry, I don't know how many good families I had secretly plundered and raped.
It seems that there are countless deeds such as abducting and plundering women from good families, forcing good people to sell them into brothels, and killing relatives of good families who come to seek explanations.
has been taken by the government many times, but his father Zhang Wannian has his hands and eyes in Heyang County, often wiping his buttocks, and he is still at ease.
Liu Shen frowned slightly and asked, "There are a lot of industries under the Chishui Gang, how could a person like him come to a place like the dock where birds don't?" ”
"You don't know?"
After Hu Dahai finished speaking, he also remembered that Liu Shen, like himself, was given a few days off after taking Xu Bantou's private work, and he didn't seem to be at the dock during the day in the past few days.
He looked around and confirmed that there were no outsiders around before he whispered: "I heard that Zhang Shichen's guy committed another crime a few days ago, and he was beaten up after being fished out by his father, and his father even gave a death order, asking him to go to the hall on this side of the dock to reflect for a year." ”
"I see..."
Liu Shen glanced at the injured Huzi and asked thoughtfully, "Then Huzi, is this his head touched?" ”
"Isn't it..."
Hu Dahai sighed and said: "Zhang Shichen came to the dock to hold back his anger, plus the deed of sale of our people are all in the Chishui Gang, he didn't treat us people as people, came to the dock for two days, there have been several people who have been whipped by him, we have been resting for the past few days, but it is a coincidence." ”
“……”
Liu Shen was silent when he heard this.
The floods of four years ago caused many people to lose their homes, and naturally there are many people who want to eat and make a living.
And the Chishui Gang is not a good town, seeing that there are many people who want to eat this mouthful of food, they take advantage of the situation and make a condition - they have to sign a deed of sale before they can eat this mouthful of food.
The deed of sale is naturally disgusting, but under the circumstances at that time, there were many people like Liu Shen who were desperate to sign the deed of sale.
And if you want to redeem the deed of sale from the Chishui Gang, you need thirty taels of silver to clearly mark the price!
As far as the porter's monthly money is concerned, you have to save for four or five years without illness and disaster, and without spending extra money!
A flood, a deed of sale.
If you want to survive, you have to wear shackles and be a cow and a horse;
If you want to regain your free body, you have to work hard for the Chishui Gang for five years!
Most of the people who are still working at the docks are in the Chishui Gang, and they are here to sell coolies if they are good, and they are servants of the Chishui Gang if they are bad.
The young gang leader of the Chishui Gang came to the dock, and he didn't say that he was in a bad mood and whipped people, that is, he beat people to death, and the government wouldn't ask more...
Liu Shen has been working here for four years, taking on private work and being a strong man, but because he often spends money to buy books, he has only saved eighteen taels of silver so far, which is still some distance from the thirty taels of redemption that the Chishui Gang clearly marked......
Xu talked about the deed of sale, and the three people who were sick and sympathetic to each other all sighed for a long time, secretly scolding the Chishui Gang for their black hearts.
Liu Shen sent Huzi back to the room, chatted with Hu Dahai for a while, and left only after seeing the meal.
Go to the dining hall to fill your stomach, go back to the room and lock the door, and then take out the wooden knife hidden under the bed and the "Crazy Demon Knife Method" and study it.
The deed of sale is a thorn in his heart, and every time he thinks about it, his motivation is self-generated!
The following days of rest...
Liu Shen went to Tongdatang to visit Yuan Xiaofei and Yu Hong's brothers and sisters during the day, and then went to the Song family's property with his 'good friend' Pei Xueyan to check the accounts.
When I went back to my residence at night, I practiced swordsmanship, and my life was very fulfilling.
And after a few days of hard practice, he soon discovered a new problem - his sword technique has empty moves, but there is no internal force to urge!
The wooden knife in Liu Shen's hand was waved according to the moves of the "Crazy Demon Knife Method", and on the surface, it looked like a tiger and a tiger, as if it was a little powerful.
But only he knows that this knife technique does not have the blessing of internal force, and it is completely a crop handle...
It's useless...
The ordinary moves in "Mad Demon Knife Method" are still like this, and the big killing move 'Heaven and Earth Tongshou', which requires a combination of spirit and energy, can't even be used!
There are skills, but they are useless.
He was worried about this matter, he didn't think about it, he didn't want to eat, but when he was sleeping, he was thinking about where to get an internal cultivation ......
Early the next morning.
Liu Shen went to Tongda Hall as usual to visit Yuan Xiaofei and Yu Hong, the brothers and sisters, and then waited until noon to see Pei Xueyan, who was late.
"Grandma has a happy event today?"
"Is it so obvious?"
"I can't say it's obvious, I can only say that the smile on the eyebrows of the young grandmother is about to overflow."
"It's a little..."
Pei Xueyan saw Liu Shen looking at herself playfully, hurriedly found a mirror and looked at it, and then raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Then guess what the happy event is?" ”
"Well, it's a little hard......"
Liu Shen's eyes were slightly condensed, and he muttered: "In the past few days, we have found out three problematic shopkeepers, and the young grandmother has always been punctual, but she is late today." ”
His voice paused, and then he smiled with a smile that seemed to be understood: "If my expectations are correct, these three shopkeepers should have been sent to the government by the young grandmother himself this morning, as for the happy event, it is most likely that the young grandmother found the old man Song to ask for advice, and the old man agreed with your idea!" Isn't it? ”
"Looks like you're ......"
Pei Xueyan glanced at him with disgust, and then pretended to be fierce: "Sometimes I really want to open your head and see how many things are hidden in it that I don't know." ”
"Then young grandmother, you may be disappointed."
"Huh? Disappointed? ”
"That's right."
Liu Shen quipped in a teasing tone: "Liu has shown all this little thing to the young grandmother, how can the young grandmother not be disappointed when she opens my empty head and sees my empty head?" ”
"I don't believe your nonsense..."
Pei Xueyan snorted softly squeamishly, although she said that she wouldn't believe his nonsense, but her heart was very useful.
The two have been together for a few days...
Although Pei Xueyan is the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Song family, she didn't put on any show when she got along;
And although Liu Shen is just a dock porter, he is neither humble nor arrogant when he gets along.
Both of them have some affection for each other, and they both intend to be close to each other, so the 'friend' relationship is naturally very stable and fast.
"I'm hungry."
Liu Shen sat down at the table unceremoniously and said, "Hurry up and ask someone to get something to eat, I just want you to help with something." ”
"Oh?"
When Pei Xueyan heard that he had a request for himself, his eyes lit up a little, and he asked with anticrative expectations after asking people to prepare the banquet: "Tell me, what's the matter?" ”
