Bai Yi looked like a person, his hair was messy, his face was pale and dull, his clothes were dusty, and he looked like he couldn't eat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He was a little puzzled, "Who are you?"

Li Mu smiled indifferently, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "My name is Li Mu, and I'm looking for a job on the dock. Just to earn something to eat. ”

Chen Yuan looked at Li Mu from the side, and he was also a little strange.

"I heard someone call you Boss Bai just now, so I dared to come over and ask Boss Bai if he could give me a job. I can do anything, and I have the strength. Saying that, Li Mu stretched out his hands, wanting to show his arms.

"I'm the boss, I've just been on the docks for a long time. Bai Yi interrupted Li Mu. He looked Li Mu up and down, "If you want to work, as long as you can endure hardships on the dock, you can choose the job." If you want, follow me and go to Dongshitou to find a money shopkeeper. He's short of manpower. ”

Li Mu agreed again and again. "Yes, yes, yes. ”

"In that case, come with me. I'm just showing you the way, and you can take care of the rest. "Bai Yi is not kind, so much so that if a person asks for help, he will help. Take Li Mu to the place where he should go, and he will be considered benevolent and righteous.

In this way, Li Mu followed Bai Yi and walked to the east of the Four Bridges Wharf.

Along the way, Li Mu looked at Chen Yuan from time to time. Chen Yuan was about a year or two younger than him, and he looked childish. However, judging from his facial features, this young man is six or seven points similar to the girl Ayuan who deceived him. This made Li Mu firmly believe that his judgment was right. Chen Yuan's sister is the Ayuan who deceived herself.

As long as you follow Chen Yuan in front of you, you will definitely be able to find that Ayuan!

"What are you thinking, why do you keep looking at me?" asked when Chen Yuan noticed that Li Mu's eyes kept rolling over him, rather vigilantly.

"Ah, that, I just heard you mention that you and your sister depend on each other?" Li Mu did not deny it outright, he turned to test the situation of Sister Chen Yuan. But I have to say that Li Mu's way of temptation is very lame.

After Chen Yuan heard this, he immediately said, "What does my sister have to do with you?" and Bai Yi also turned his head and glanced at Li Mu seemingly unintentionally.

Li Mu knew that he was a little speechless, so he said: "Don't get me wrong, I came here to find my sister." As he spoke, Li Mu's eyes darkened. He looked distracted.

Chen Yuan was more vigilant to strangers, and when he saw Li Mu's somewhat gloomy appearance, he finally had some belief. "You and your sister are separated?"

"yes. Li Mu raised his head and took a breath. "I grew up living with my sister until the year before last, when my sister said she was going to do something for my future, and then she disappeared. I was afraid that something would happen to her, so I looked around. Unexpectedly, there was no trace of her. ”

"There is news that she came to Shuzhou, and I came. ”

What Li Mu said was all a lie. But when he spoke, he couldn't help but substitute the feelings of his mother's relatives when he was young. Therefore, Rao is Bai Yi, who has experienced a lot of things, and he has never felt false.

Bai Yi said, "What's your sister's name? If you can trust me, I'll help you keep an eye on the docks." ”

"Thank you, Boss Bai, thank you, Boss Bai. Li Mu said excitedly. Li Mu expressed his gratitude while conceiving the name of his fictional sister in his mind.

"Li Xiang. Li Mu thought about it for a while, and then he talked nonsense. "My sister's name is Li Xiang. ”

"Li Xiang, is it?" Bai Yi bowed slightly, and he wrote it down. People come and go on the dock, all kinds of news abound, if you say that you are looking for people, it must be a place with many people to listen to the news.

Li Mu's remarks narrowed the distance between the three of them. Li Mu, the "younger brother who is painstakingly looking for his sister", resonates with Chen Yuan, the younger brother who depends on his sister. Bai Yi had some sympathy for Li Mu.

The three of them talked as they walked, and soon left the unloading area by the river and came to the vicinity of the dock.

As soon as they stepped out of the crowded area, they were stopped by five people.

The five men were dressed differently, but without exception, a piece of silk cloth was tied to their left arm. There is a big peng with wings flying high on it, embroidered magnificently and lifelike.

There was obviously a leading figure in that group of people as well, and this man was born tall and thin, with a long face. If that's all there is to it, that's fine. Unfortunately, he also had an extra scar on his face, which ran through the bridge of his nose and cheeks. It made his nose look a little crooked.

When the man saw Bai Yi, he smiled. "Boss Bai, I'm busy. Bai Yi also laughed, "Don't laugh at me, don't laugh at me, in front of your Ma Teng Ma Boss, I Bai Yi is an idler who has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, how can I be worthy of a boss." ”

Li Mu saw them smiling, and his heart relaxed slightly. Judging from Ma Teng's fierce posture just now, I thought he was here to seek revenge.

The two middle-aged men hugged each other, and each slapped each other's backs.

"Boss Ma, why do you have time to come to the Four Bridges Pier?" Bai Yi let go of Ma Teng.

Marten shook his head, "You can't come if you don't have time? After all, the east half of the Four Bridges Pier is our help's territory." ”

"That's it. Bai Yi responded.

Ma Teng's eyes turned and saw Chen Yuan and Li Mu behind Bai Yi. "Yo, are these two the little brothers of Boss Bai?"

Boss Ma laughed. This is Chen Yuan, you know him. In addition, this one, who has only known each other for a while, is also a hard-working person who wants to find a job at the dock. Bai Yi introduced to Marten.

Marten glanced at the two of them and didn't say much. Instead, he pulled Bai Yi aside and asked, "Bai Yi, I'll ask you about it." At that moment, did the Cao Gang's ship dock at the Four Bridges Pier?"

Bai Luo nodded, "Earlier, there was a boat from the Cao Gang. After the boat docked, three people came down and were picked up by the Bloody Hand Gang. ”

"Sure enough, it's the Bloody Hand Gang, the messengers of the Cao Gang, they are quick to strike. Marten said with a sigh.

Bai Yi said: "This time it is still too early to change the rudder in four years, what are the Cao gang sending people for?"

"It's because I don't know that it's incomprehensible. Marten scratched his head.

"Didn't there be any news in advance?"

"Nope. ”

"That's puzzling. After all, our Dapeng Gang and the Bloody Hand Gang are both agents of the Cao Gang, and if they know, we should know too. Bai Yi said.

Marten shook his head and said, "The same news, knowing it earlier and knowing it later, is likely to be completely different." ”

Bai Yi chewed on this sentence and deeply agreed with the truth.

Ma Teng looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Do you know, why is this such a news, I have to find out myself?"

Bai Yi raised his eyebrows, and followed his words and said: "Yes, Siqiao Pier has so many of our eyeliner, they ......" Halfway through his words, he suddenly couldn't speak.

The east half of the Four Bridges Wharf belongs to the Dapeng Gang. The western half belongs to the Bloody Hand Gang. This is the result of the final decision of the two gangs after years of fighting openly and secretly. But the two gangs, if they don't fight, they won't fight? Siqiao Wharf, a busy wharf in the county capital and county town, makes a lot of profits in a year. Half of what was given up was silver taels of white flowers.

The Dapeng Gang and the Bloody Hand Gang will not give up half of each other's hands, so in their own half, they are full of eyeliner. Consolidating one's own control is one thing, and monitoring the opponent's movements is the other.

Although Bai Yi has not been in the Dapeng Gang for a long time, he is still clear about this.

Now that Marten didn't send back the news from his eyeliner, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Understood, I suspect that the Bloody Hand Gang will probably start attacking us after the incident with Le Yunchou. Martten said grimly.

Hearing this, Bai Yi fell silent. After a long time, he said, "If there is anything useful, just ask." ”

Marten shook his head, "Brother, you finally got out of the gang. Listen to my advice, don't be too affectionate. You also know, our helper is ......" mentioned the helper Guo Shouxiao, Bai Yi smiled bitterly and stopped talking.

"I still have to rush back to the gang, brother, take care of yourself. Marten patted Bai Yi on the shoulder, turned around and walked away.

Bai Yi was left alone to look in the direction he was walking.

Li Mu was just on the side, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two. I didn't hear it all, but I heard it roughly. The one surnamed Ma should be a member of the Dapeng Gang, and it seems that he is also an old acquaintance of Bai Yi. It is expected that Bai Yi should also be a member of the Dapeng Gang. Today, the Cao Gang's ship sent the helmsman of the Cao Gang, and it seems that it was picked up by the Dapeng Gang's opponent Bloody Gang.

These two things turned around in Li Mu's heart, and then he threw them in the corner. This kind of thing is far away from him, and he doesn't want to get involved in the struggle between the two gangs in the city.

"Let's go. After the meeting with Marten, Bai Lu's mood did not seem to be very good. He was silent and kept walking ahead. Chen Yuan and Li Mu followed behind him, chatting with each other.

Soon, the head of the East Market arrived.

It is said to be the head of the market, but it is just a market formed by the wharf. The place where Li Mu dined with a Sangdao person in the morning also belonged to such a market. It's just that one is in the east and one is in the west.

The head of the East Market is like a small market, walking in it, there are a variety of shops on both sides.

Bai Yi led the way, and Li Mu didn't dare to be too distracted. They didn't stop until they reached the middle of the East Market. There is a small storefront with a signboard that reads the name of Xianheng Firm.

Li Mu and Chen Yuan followed Bai Yi into the Xianheng firm.

The welcoming guy greeted him, and he also recognized Bai Yi. After a period of greetings, Bai Yi asked to see the money shopkeeper.

The greeting guy waved his hand and said, "But it's unfortunate, Boss Bai." The money shopkeeper is now meeting customers. ”

"It's okay, I'll wait for him here. Bai Yi is not a person who believes in his identity, he entered the inner courtyard under the guidance of the welcoming man. Walking through the small store, Li Mu found that there was a hole inside.

The shop was dimly lit, but the inner courtyard was bright.

A small courtyard appeared in front of Li Mu's eyes. There are buildings on the front and back, left and right, and there are buildings in between. In the inner courtyard, there is a flower garden with a large ginkgo tree. That height, beyond the third floor, broke through the sky. Above the thick trunk of the tree, as far as the eye can see, it is golden. Even the courtyard is full of golden ginkgo leaves, and when you look up, the whole ginkgo tree is like a golden waterfall, hanging straight down from the sky.
