Chapter 15 Reality Makes You Willing to Be Ordinary
"Cheng, thank you Uncle Shan, I will work hard in the afternoon not to hold everyone back, and strive to become proficient as soon as possible, and I will help everyone. β
"Okay, you, it's good to be able to do your job well, and help, what do you want. Hurry up and eat, let's go to the door to digest and digest, and it is convenient to work in the afternoon. β
After eating, we stood in the big flat for a short time before we had to start the intense and busy work of the afternoon again.
This time I learned well, followed the old man to see how he did it, I followed how to do it, there was a kind of learning, at first the speed will be a little slower, but after proficiency, not only the speed has increased, but even the body feels not so tired. Relying on my body that I have exercised since I was a child, I quickly finished this batch of my own tasks, watching everyone sweat profusely and even doing it bare-chested, I was going to help, but I looked back and saw that the old man of the mountain also took off his shirt, and the old man of the mountain actually had a half-backed wolf tattoo on his back, but I didn't expect that the old man of the mountain who looked sleek and easy to deal with still had such a tattoo, it seems that he is also a person with a story.
We kept unloading, sorting, stacking the goods, and the carriages one after another, and the stacked goods were piled up little by little, and they were almost piled up into a hill in the big ping.
I couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Shan, how much is this, why do I feel that I can't finish moving this goods." β
The old man didn't seem to have much strength anymore, and replied breathlessly: "It's almost fast, it's not much, thanks to you today, the big guys have shared a lot of the guys, and the speed has also accelerated, we should be able to finish things before the sun completely sets, everyone work hard, work early and rest early, go home and eat when you should go home!"
It's really the same as the old man of the mountain said, the sun hasn't completely set, our work is done, even the overseer came over and patted me on the shoulder, "Yes, young man, I do have the strength, I usually have to do it until the lights are lit, I get off work so early today, I have to thank you, I can go home early." "The workers in the row with us also came to thank me and the old man Shan, saying that it was a rare time for us to get off work early without going back and falling asleep.
"Let's go, boy, I still have half a pound for a long time, you won't stop drinking, do you, if you can drink some, let's go to the canteen to eat and drink some chat?"
"Cheng, Uncle Shan, I'm interested in you, let's go. β
The old man patted me on the back of the head, "Little rabbit, can you speak, what do you mean to be interested in me, you are not interested in you, let's go, you can still eat hot food if you go early, you go to the dining hall and wait for me first, I will go back to the room and get the wine." β
"Little cub, you have no eyesight! Seeing that the mountain master went to get wine, don't you know how to clean up the table, hurry up and make a place for me to make a place for the table, how can we drink when you make such a mess." β
As soon as I sat down, I heard the old man's scolding from the door to my ears, and I had to eat people's mouths, especially when I wanted to hear him tell me stories later. "Master Shan, what you teach you is that the little one will help you clean up, come, let's put the wine here. I quickly stood up and cleaned up the table and beckoned Master Shan to sit down.
As soon as the mountain master sat down, I got up again and poured wine for the mountain master, "Come on, come on, mountain master, the small one will be full for you." β
The old man looked at me triumphantly, "What's the matter, little cub, do you need the help of the mountain master?" Come on, come on, you open your mouth and talk to the mountain master, see the mountain master and you think of a way to solve it, in this world, there is always a solution to the difficulties." β
I looked at the old man Shan, "Master Shan, you misunderstood me, I need your help if I'm fine, and I don't have any difficulties......"
This will be the turn of the old man in the mountain to be confused, "You don't need my help with anything, why are you suddenly so enthusiastic about my bad old man?
I hurriedly explained, "Master Shan, this is not right, I respect you as a junior, what's the problem, this land of China is a state of etiquette, there is nothing wrong with it, I didn't understand anything when I first came, don't you have to pay more attention? I've been with you for a day, I know you're a good person, and your attitude is definitely different." If I really come over, I will be so enthusiastic with you, do you still dare to have a heart-to-heart relationship with me? Besides, let's work together, we rise and fall together, there is no point in me lying to you, I just lie to others, and I will not lie to you. β
The old man was still full of doubts: "Then what are you doing, the contrast between you is too big, and I can't adapt to it." As this person gets older, his ability to adapt is getting worse and worse. If you really think that I am your mountain master, you can also go around in circles with me and say directly, we rough people are not so particular. β
"Cheng, Master Shan, you said so, so I asked directly. What's the deal with your tattoo, and I don't think you're a movers. You see, it's going to be fine anyway, tell me about your past. β
The old man looked relieved, "Ouch, I thought you were going to do something, it turns out that you want to listen to the story, you said it earlier, I am worried for a while, I am alone, I can't help you if I want money or no ability, and I really want to give up my life." You've been doing it for a long time, and you just want to listen to the story. β
I grinned, "As for Master Shan, how can I open my mouth and shut my mouth to ask for your life." Can you tell this story?"
"Anything that doesn't kill is a trivial matter, of course I can tell my own story, let me have a sip of wine and organize the language to think about how to tell you a story. β
"Okay, come on, come on, the mountain boy respects you, you can start telling your story wherever you want, you don't need to organize any language, you can listen to as much as you want!"
After speaking, the old man drank a small sip of wine, held the cup and was silent for a while, and then said, "My name is Shanqian, I am an ordinary child in this Youzhou City, my parents were originally doing small business in this city, and I had a very happy childhood until I was thirteen years old. My family has no other relatives in Youzhou, and if it weren't for the neighbors to take care of it, I would definitely not have survived to adulthood. It turned out that I was honest when my parents were in charge, but without their discipline, I would be out of control. I didn't go to the private school either, and at that time, I felt that reading was useless, and I had to rely on my hands to fight for the future. Then I began to learn martial arts, originally I didn't have any talent and learned too late, I didn't have a foundation at all, and naturally I couldn't learn anything famous, and then I mixed up with the ruffians in the north of the city, others didn't like me but they liked me, although I didn't have much kung fu and my brain was not good at making it, but I was too young to be ignorant, and the neighbors advised me not to stay with that group of gangsters, but at that time I didn't know who was really good for me, I just felt that the neighbors were delaying me from getting ahead, and I naturally ignored their words, and then they said it as soon as they saw me, and even pulled me home, so that I was annoyed and didn't even go homeIn order to avoid them, I didn't even go to the part of the house. Later, don't say it, there were a few times when I clashed with other gangsters, I stabbed and injured several people in a row, and this reputation naturally rose, and slowly I was a little fluttering, and I felt that the rivers and lakes were nothing more than that, as long as I was bold, as long as I was not afraid of death, I could step on others. Speaking of this, the old man stopped, probably feeling tasteless in his mouth, so he took some peanuts and threw them into his mouth and drank another sip of wine. Seeing that I didn't intend to ask a question, I continued.
"I got tattooed with some of our better guys, and I thought there was nothing we could do if we brothers worked together. At that time, I had no relatives, so I regarded them as my relatives, and if they needed my life, I would hesitate for a moment, and I would not be human. Later, we got bigger and bigger, and the gangsters in the north of the city were subdued by us, and we also began to have money-making projects, helping rich people to collect debts, opening casinos, and pumping water. The better we live, the more we feel that we are terrible, one day there is a big boy in the casino, at first glance it is the kind of rich kid, like this kind of person we are generally a little slaughtered, people can afford to lose and we don't eat too much, everyone can get by, we don't want to provoke those rich boys, in case one day kick to the steel plate, we can't stand it. As a result, that day the broad boy could not afford to lose more and more, the silver money on the body lost the eyes on the red has to press the jewelry, we do not accept him has to mess with us, had no choice but to accept his jewelry, we thought that there is no need to cause unnecessary trouble, simply put him a handful of water so that he will earn back the jewelry and lost money, as a result of that day his luck is really bad at home, we opened out is the penultimate card, now he should win the money back, he was stunned to open the smallest card. Now he completely exploded the pot, originally we rarely pressed such a big surrounding gamblers are around to watch, he shouted loudly that we casino out of a thousand, you said that the cards are you wash yourself is also you scratched, we have opened the penultimate card, you can still lose in this situation of steady win, this can still blame us, you win some money and go we don't care, but you say that we out of a thousand who will come to us to play, then we must not stand it, my buddies took him and threw him out of the casino. Our eldest brother immediately took all the money and called me to do some trouble, saying that this matter can be done as much as possible, but the matter must be settled, otherwise the field will not be able to open in the future, and the other brothers will continue to sit in the casino like no one. As a result, as soon as we walked to the gate of the official mansion, we saw a large number of guards in armor surrounding the official mansion, and the leader pointed to the prefect of Youzhou and scolded, and the broad prince who was thrown out by us was standing next to the leading soldiers, and then a large number of armor soldiers rushed out with dozens of officials, this look is obviously in the direction of our casino, we know that something bad must have kicked the iron plate this time, and the relationship between our previous official government is a steward on the prefect's house, and even his master was pointed at and scolded us must not have run away, just when I was panickingγ Our eldest brother took out dozens of taels of silver from his arms and told me, this time I definitely don't have to run, it's too late to report the news, let's still fly when the disaster comes, let's run a few times. Before I could react, the big brother turned around and ran away..."
"He doesn't pay attention to righteousness, I can't help but be righteous, I think about it again and again, I still have to report to my brothers, I can't run a single one now, the people don't fight with the officials, no matter what, we can't win the people of the official family. Then I ran all the way but I couldn't get in front of the guards, and I saw that some of my brothers were beheaded directly, and the heads fell to the ground before they could even resist and struggle, and I knew that it was too late. I began to flee in a hurry, and when I reached the gate of the city, I tried to escape from the city as soon as possible, but I found that the gate of the city was occupied by the armor soldiers, and I was only allowed to enter and not to go out. People probably think of home when they are most panicked, so I run to the home that I haven't been back to for a long time. β
