Simple people are also simple in doing things.
He came to find Fuxi, and heard that he often haunted the Yellow River, but he didn't know how long the Yellow River was, so he just walked south, crossed the Yellow River and came to the boundary of Yuzhou, and worked as an unloader in order to support himself.
There was a lot of work to be done here, but he thought it should be closer to the Yellow River, nothing closer than the docks.
When unloading for the first time, the foreman shouted, he ran with everyone, got the badge, and boarded a boat with pigs tied everywhere on the deck, and everyone else was in groups of four, carrying the fat pig with two sticks, and he jumped off the boat easily with one hand holding the hemp rope that tied the four hooves of the fat pig.
Yes, he stood at the bow of the ship and jumped down.
This jump was amazing, all the unloaders, including several foremen, looked at him like a monster, and it took a long time to react, surround him, and persuade him to join his team.
Su Mu refused one by one.
On that day, he unloaded half of the pigs on the ship alone.
According to the amount of work, his remuneration should be half of everyone's commission, but the foreman only gave him less than half of the actual salary, Su Mu didn't know this.
Holding the heavy pile of copper coins in his hand, his first thought was the little girl, if she was there, he would divide her in half. She loved money so much that when she gave her a few pieces of silver that day, she was going crazy with joy.
And this was just the beginning, and in one morning he unloaded three large ships alone.
A few foremen saw a money-making machine, staring at him with a thief's eyes, as long as they included him in their men. Why do you need so many workers? Over the course of a year, you can save a considerable amount of money on commissions alone.
Each of them offers favorable terms of employment. There was a one-eyed bald foreman who even said that he would be arranged in the Yellow River Tower all year round. The Yellow River House is the most luxurious restaurant in the area.
Su Mu was worried about where to stay at night. As soon as he heard this, he immediately decided to live in the Yellow River Tower, but he chose to pay the bill himself.
Seeing that he didn't refuse, he opened his mouth with one eye, and proudly waved his fist at the other foremen, and the big slap of Pu Fan couldn't help but stroke his head, patted Su Mu's shoulder with one hand, and said, "Young man, that's right." Keep you eating and drinking spicy food every day, and take you around the building every other day, hehehe, you haven't touched a woman yet, right?"
Su Mu said: "Well, I haven't met anyone I want to touch yet." ”
The bald one-eyed one eye lit up, and said appreciatively: "I like those who have vision, wrap it on me, and I will choose one for you with my vision." ”
Su Mu had no time to question his ability to appreciate the only one eye, and said, "Foreman, let's ask you about something." Do you know Fuxi?"
Bald head, you look down on my face too much, pointing to the muddy Yellow River. If he hadn't drawn a map of the river, it would have taken more than ten years for the river god Dayu to control the water, and the Yellow River would not be so peaceful, and we would not be able to hold such a good job." ”
Su Mu suddenly had hope in his heart, and said, "Then where is he now?"
The bald head was stunned for a moment, and said, "You said Fuxi?"
"Yes. ”
"Then how do I know, I want to know where his old man is, and I won't become a fairy. ”
"So does he often haunt the Yellow River?"
The bald head said: "That's right, I came here once last year, but we ordinary people can't see it, and he only sees one person in the whole Yuzhou." ”
Su Mu hurriedly said, "Who?"
The bald head said: "Guanyin is a well-known figure in Yuzhou." ”
Su Mu went straight in: "How do I find her?"
The bald head was taken aback, and said: "You are both Fuxi and Guanyin, do you have anything to do with them?"
Su Mu shook his head, only looked at him, still waiting for him to answer.
The bald head pouted, gave a thumbs up as he spoke, and said: "It's okay if you're looking for a fart! Is Guanyin the person you can meet, that is the pride of our Yuzhou, and it has been accepted as a disciple by the Western Buddha, and it doesn't matter how many people line up to see her." ”
Su Mu's face darkened, but she didn't expect that she was actually a disciple of the enemy Rulai.
It was also dark, and Su Mu asked Guanyin how to get around the house, so he said goodbye and left.
The bald head immediately stopped him: "Where are you going? ”
Su Mu said: "I don't belong to your gang, I like to work alone." ”
The bald head thought that this was something that had already been decided, but he didn't want him to change his mind temporarily, and he wasted a long time in vain, how could he not be angry, and said: "You are playing Lao Tzu? What's wrong with your strength, do you think Lao Tzu is afraid of you? There are my 100 people on this dock, and Lao Tzu will abolish you as soon as he shouts!"
The wharf was more than thirty miles away from Guanyin's house, and Su Mu was afraid that she would already sleep late, and she didn't want to entangle with the foreman anymore, so she turned a deaf ear to his clamour.
The bald head is usually used to being a master, except for the general manager of the dock, he doesn't take anyone in his eyes, when has he been so neglected, he was furious, and he was addicted to scolding as soon as he opened his mouth, and abducted the eighteenth generation of Su Mu's ancestors.
Su Mu listened to him greet his mother over and over again, lowered his head and was silent for a while, walked over with a cold face, and punched his bald mouth with a slam punch.
The bald head spit out a mouthful of teeth, screamed a few times, and kneeled on the ground in a panic to find teeth.
Su Mu saw that he was picking it up seriously, and he wanted to cover his mouth with one hand to stop the bleeding, looking really hard, and kicked a few teeth away. Thinking of the witch's teaching at the time of parting, the wicked man didn't think he had done enough, so he kicked him hard in the ass, and the bald two-hundred-pound physique flew directly into the air and threw himself into the arms of the Yellow River.
The bald head has been a supervisor on the dock for more than ten years, and he is naturally skilled in water, and the turbulent river can't help him, so he was only washed away for more than 100 meters and went ashore, holding his butt and scolding Su Mu who was far away.
Su Mu picked a horse in the racecourse, and after putting on the saddle, he drove non-stop through the brightly lit commercial street.
The diner of the restaurant was almost washed down by him when he went to the street to pour swill; the thugs at the door of the gambling house glared at him fiercely when they looked at the dust and smoke under the horses' hooves; and the girl on the second floor of the brothel smiled charmingly at him with a handkerchief.
Out of the Yellow River business circle, the next step was a dark road that stretched for dozens of miles, but this did not make him slow down the horsewhip in his hand and gallop all the way.
Yuzhou City is an open city, open until midnight, the city gate is still open. He entered the city through the north gate. Look at the streets. Zema Ruyi Lake.
Guanyin is a young lady from a large family, and her family's assets are such a concept, riding a horse from Ruyi Lake to the east, running for an hour, this land is her family's.
Her father was an all-round businessman, who did everything, did everything well, and had a lot of money. Before their family moved to Ruyi Lake, there was no Dongcheng in Yuzhou. After her father purchased land and bordered Yuzhou City, there was Dongcheng.
He married twelve rooms, and in twenty years he gave birth to a child, who was named Guanyin at that time.
His father's huge family business was eager for someone to inherit it, and he finally admitted that he was infertile after the perennial practice of twelve women, and more attention fell on Guanyin.
Guanyin is supremely favored in this family, and it is amazing that she is not pampered into a perverse character. All who came into contact with her fell in love with her, and even the devil was moved by her kindness.
The process of her growing up. It is the process of Yuzhou City full of love, from building roads and schools, to beggars and homeless people, all of whom she often helps, and the tenants who farm for their families have to pay half less rent than others.
She is the embodiment of angels, and she is the Purdue of mercy.
Ruyi Lake is a tadpole-shaped lake, and there is a large mansion with twists and turns on the surface of the lake at the end of the tadpole, which is the home of Guanyin.
It's her own home. Her father and twelve mothers lived in another, more luxurious house.
There are two huge stone slings sitting in front of Guanyin's house, which is one of the nine sons of the dragon roaring towards the sky, and the squires have the habit of watching, so they are mostly used by the folk squires as a house protector.
The main gate is majestic and majestic, and the big red door with a height of three zhang is inlaid with big copper nails, and the look is solemn.
At this time, the moon was hanging in the sky, and it was nearly three watches, Su Mu rode the horse directly to the door, jumped off the horse, and jumped up the stone steps in two steps. He was a little anxious, and the doorlink buckle was quick and loud.
The porter was alone, there was nothing to do at night, he was drinking in the room, he was displeased when he heard the thunderous knock on the door outside, this is the residence of Guanyin, and the prefect did not dare to be so arrogant, who ate the ambition leopard gall?
He threw his neck up and drank the wine from his glass, and took out an iron whip from under the bed, angrily trying to teach the man a lesson.
Three years ago, when he was not a porter, he was a notorious thief in the green forest, robbing roads, robbing money, and stealing women, and called himself a lone thief.
But the days of hiding like a mouse were really lonely, and he decided to do a big deal and stop, so he came to Yuzhou and set his sights on Guanyin.
In fact, regardless of whether the vote was successful or not, he did give up. Guanyin didn't know what method he used, so he changed his mind, swore allegiance to Guanyin, and offered to take care of the home for her.
Although it is a soft job as a gatekeeper, he is born in the green forest after all, and he is hard in his bones, plus Guanyin is highly respected at a young age, and the people who come to visit are well-informed and well-behaved, for fear that the kind of person who will scare Guanyin for taking a breath, has never encountered this kind of movement, and the third watch knocked on the door in the middle of the night, he didn't want to live!
He opened a door, stared at the big eyes as bright as copper bells, looked down on him unceremoniously, and scolded: "Look at your dirty body, where did you come from? Before grandpa is angry, roll as far as you can, otherwise don't blame grandpa for not having long eyes with the iron whip in his hand!"
As soon as he opened the door, he was scolded, Su Mu was a little stunned, and slowly said: "This eldest brother came from afar to ask to see Miss Guanyin." ”
"Nope!"
The porter roared rudely, as if he were Guanyin.
Su Mu said: "I'm really anxious to see her, maybe the door knocked too much Meng Lang, so let's do it, big brother, I'll knock again, you close the door, I'll knock gently." ”
Seeing that he was soft, the porter was a little angry, closed the door heavily, and waited behind the door with his waist crossed, making up his mind that he would not open the door until he knocked a hundred times, killing his acuteness.
He waited with his ears in his ears, ready to carefully assess the force of the knock outside, and if there was a heavy knock, he should not be asked to open the door.
Just as he was concentrating on waiting, there was a sudden loud bang!
Su Mu outside kicked the door away!
Before the porter could react, he had already flown with the door, all the way to the wall behind the shadow, and the huge door panel pressed him tightly, and his life and death were unknown.
Naturally, he had no intention of appreciating the beauty of Guanyin's house, and even felt that it was redundant, and he had to make these corridors on the lake with a twist and turn.
After walking for several miles, I saw a spacious pavilion with a light veil hanging from it. Inside sat a girl with a scroll in her hand.
Closer. Seeing her pouting. Eating a plump purple grape, there is no beauty in eating, but it is very enjoyable.
She was dressed luxuriously, Su Mu first felt that she was Guanyin, stood outside the veil, and said: "Disturb the girl to read, in Xia Su Phoenix, come here late at night." There is something important to ask. ”
"Yikes!"
The girl was startled, and held the scroll in her hands to her chest, and turned to look at him, and saw that he was standing there with a good appearance, and although his clothes were crumpled and dirty, he did not look like a bad person.
"Who are you? Are you here to find our young lady? Why haven't you seen the porter's report?"
When Su Mu heard that it was just a maid, he said, "Please take me to see your young lady." ”
"My young lady is not at home, she lives in the Yellow River Building tonight, and tomorrow morning she will ride a horse and discuss poetry with a group of young talents in Yuzhou. ”
Su Mu was about to thank him and go back. Suddenly, he frowned, and said, "You're not trying to send me away and lie to me, are you?"
The maidservant smiled faintly. He said with his hands behind his back: "You haven't seen my young lady, and you really lift me up by treating me as her." I'll tell you the truth, believe it or not. ”
Su Mu nodded and said, "Thank you, farewell." ”
The maidservant smiled and said, "I'm curious, the people who are looking for my young lady are rich and noble, and they are all neat and spotless when they come to this garden, and they have been like this for a few years, but you are a strange person, look at the fishy smell of your sweat, as if you have just come from the dock after unloading." ”
Su Mu said: "I'm just an unloader, and I unloaded a boatload of kelp in the afternoon, so I got a fishy smell." ”
The maidservant smiled apologetically: "Do I know what you mean by looking for my young lady? ”
Su Mu asked about Fuxi's whereabouts when he saw people along the way, and he was not afraid to tell her, saying: "I heard that Guanyin knows Fuxi, so I want to ask her about Fuxi's whereabouts." ”
The maidservant said: "Then you have found the right person, no one in the entire Yuzhou City knows where Fuxi is except for my young lady." ”
Su Mu still had to gallop overnight, unwilling to stay for a long time, and said: "Thank you girl, but if I can't see Guanyin in the Yellow River Tower, I will definitely sell you to a brothel." ”
The maid was startled again, she couldn't imagine that this young man with a sven face could say such shameless words with a smile, and in vain she treated her politely, angrily dropped the book, and left with a snort.
Su Mu returned to the Yellow River beach with stars and moons, and was shocked and disturbed by his dreams all the way.
Dismounted and walked to the Yellow River Tower, he was a little tired, since the day he learned witchcraft at the age of five, he had never worked purely by manual labor, today he unloaded so many goods, and at night he had two bumps, and his face was a little pale from tiredness.
He asked the front desk guy if Guanyin stayed here, this question had been answered hundreds of times tonight, rolled his eyes, and said in annoyance: "It's to live here." ”
Su Mu took out a small handful of copper coins from his waist pocket and stuffed it into him, and said, "I want to see her." ”
The guy pushed the copper coin back and said, "Little brother, the lights in Miss Guanyin's room have been extinguished, no matter who it is, it will not be seen tonight." ”
Su Mu was helpless, so he said that he would sleep in the Yellow River Building tonight.
The guy didn't even feel sleepy, and said in surprise, "Do you want to live here?"
Su Mu took out a bag of copper coins and said, "I have money." ”
The guy is not a mean person, he looked at him sympathetically, and said: "Little brother, it's not that we bury you, this is not where you live, it's not easy to earn a few copper hammers from 9 to 5, so don't squander it, go home." ”
Su Mu said: "I just want to live." ”
The guy smashed his mouth: "You little brother, you're quite stubborn." To tell you the truth, as soon as Guanyin came, it attracted the children of rich families all over the city, and it was full early, and there was only one Tianzi left, one hundred taels for one night, do you live?"
Su Mu took out the two money bags and said, "Is it enough?"
The man weighed it and said, "It's only fifty taels of silver." ”
Su Mu said: "Will she still live here tomorrow?"
The guy said, "Yo, we can't say for sure, maybe we'll leave." ”
Su Mu didn't show the slightest feeling of loss, pinned the money bag to his waist, and planned to find a nearby inn to live in.
There are five inns on the side of the Yellow River, because the arrival of Guanyin is full, and Su Mu has no place to sleep.
He crouched under a flower tree, intending to spend the night. Thinking about it, he still hasn't done what Master instructed him to be a wicked person, how can a wicked person watch someone else stay in a guest house and hang himself in the wilderness?
He weighed for a long time whether to go to the Yellow River Tower and break into a room casually. Occupy it. Or just pull out Guanyin. Ask her where Fuxi is!
Think about it, forget it, it will be dawn in a few hours, and there is no need to make the chickens and dogs restless.
When he fell asleep, he thought about squinting for a while, but when he opened his eyes, it was already three poles of sun, and the sun was bright and dazzling, and he wanted to get up early to buy a new dress. But where is it still too late, shook his head, woke up and ran to the Yellow River Tower.
Unlike last night, he couldn't even enter the door, and several big men surrounded him brutally, on the grounds that he was disheveled, and if he dared to take another step inside, he would immediately beat him.
Su Mu said expressionlessly to the big man who was face to face with him: "I'll go in and find Guanyin." ”
The big man said fiercely: "Miss Guanyin and a few Xiucai went on horseback by the river. ”
Su Mu didn't say a word and went straight to the Yellow River.
The beautiful horse road on the south bank is closed to the public, and today it is a playground for the children of rich families.
Wandering in the woods outside the horse trail were a few people wearing long shirts and square scarves and hats. Holding a folding fan, showing the young man of literary and artistic style. Like Su Mu, they couldn't enter the horse farm.
It's just that Su Mu's poor and sour body looks nondescript among them, like a wild grass suddenly appearing on a hairpin.
The little ones all kept a certain distance from the wild grass.
A warm breeze blew slowly, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, and even Su Mu, who was wooden, felt romantic.
He saw a group of black horses hugging a white horse, slowly coming from the bend of the racecourse, and he didn't have to bother to guess, the little Kai had already made a commotion, and blurted out: "That's Miss Guanyin, it's really here." ”
Su Mu spent so many twists and turns to finally see Guanyin, the best of his dignified witch clan has become a panicked dog these days, not because of the abominable Fuxi, he has no interest in Guanyin, just got a letter from her.
At this moment, he had already calculated, Guanyin was willing to tell him, and if he didn't want to, he would immediately kidnap her and slowly ask.
But what he never expected was that when he just raised his foot, there was a swish behind his back, and a big net covered him, and he couldn't move in an instant.
For him, who still had no change in his face before Taishan collapsed, this little battle naturally did not make him panic, especially when he saw the face of the leader, he became more calm.
It was the one-eyed foreman who was kicked into the Yellow River by him last night.
Su Mu sat quietly like a vulture on a dead branch and looked at the dying prey.
It was this look of contempt that provoked the foreman to utter rage, and he walked over with his legs between his legs, the kick he had clearly not recovered from last night.
He put a knife on Su Mu's face, gritted his teeth and roared: "If it weren't for the general manager to spare your life, Lao Tzu would have cut you alive with a knife! Don't be busy going back first, beat him! Beat him for me!"
Xiao Xiao hugged him and entertained Su Mu fiercely.
He endured it expressionlessly, and broke free a few times, but the fishing net tightened more and more. I had to smile bitterly in my heart, Guanyin had already appeared, and I was about to succeed, but I had such a thing.
By the time he was carried back to the docks, he was covered in blood. He waited patiently, and as long as he was untied, he would give these people a taste of what real punches and kicks were.
After the net was released, he moved.
Immediately I couldn't move again. He was caught in the net again.
This time he could see clearly that it was a large crossbow-like instrument, with a net wrapped around the tip of the end, which, if pulled, could catch him between breaths.
"If you are wise, don't have bad intentions. ”
A middle-aged man with white skin and two eggs in his hand walked slowly.
"Archsteward. ”
The one-eyed foreman and the workers shouted respectfully.
Behind the head manager, he still kept turning eggs, and said with a smile on his face: "Su Mu, in the future, these four people will follow you all day long, what about you, at least ten ships of goods a day, not a single hair is missing, otherwise you will be soaked in the Yellow River, go down for a while, come up for a while, and let you taste the water of the Yellow River." ”
Looking at his cheap face, Su Mu almost couldn't help but use witchcraft to roast him on the outside and tender on the inside! He was most annoyed by this kind of person who didn't do anything and made bad ideas.
"I'm going to untie you now, the ship will be there soon, you make a choice quickly, and unload the cargo honestly if you promise me. ”
Su Mu didn't hesitate and said, "I'll unload the goods." ”
Until the evening, a total of sixty ships entered the port, and he alone chartered six of them, and the other workers who watched were terrified.
The empty ships were all gone, and the next wave of cargo ships arrived before three watches, and the workers gradually left, leaving only a few dozen overtime shifts.
Su Mu sat on the horizontal board of the dock, looking at the noisy and flowing Yellow River in front of him. (To be continued......)
