That night, Lei Ren and Xie Pengfei stayed in the woodshed in the backyard of Huangji Tea Shop. In the warehouse next door, there were also four porters living. The six of them will accompany Huangji Shop's fleet tomorrow.
Fire Cloud Island.
Lei Ren looked at the dirty environment in the woodshed and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Whether it was here or in the "secular world" as people here said, status levels existed. The poor and poor could only live in places with such harsh environments.
.
Fortunately, Lei Ren had experienced any harsh environment when he was a special forces soldier. Living in a woodshed was not a challenge to him.
The night passed in a flash.
Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door: "You guys really think you are the masters. Get up quickly and go to sea!"
The six day laborers were all awakened by the sound. Lei Ren stood up and opened the door, and saw a strong man in his thirties standing at the door with a fierce look, as if someone had exploded his anus.
The strong man was holding a large bag of steamed buns in his hand. Seeing Lei Ren open the door, he handed Lei Ren a large bag of steamed buns and a kettle in his other hand and said, "Give these steamed buns to them. This is breakfast."
You guys eat at the time you had earlier, ten minutes, and meet at the door in ten minutes!"
The strong man's tone was very disdainful, and he felt like he was superior to others in front of Lei Ren.
Lei Ren didn't say anything, but took the steamed buns and the kettle. After the day laborers came out, everyone started eating two steamed buns and drinking water from the kettle.
As the locals do, Lei Ren eats steamed buns and drinks cold water with everyone.
Huangji Tea Shop is too stingy. The steamed buns are cold and have a crusty layer on the surface. Needless to say, the steamed buns have been stored for several days.
After hesitating for a moment, Lei Ren saw that Xie Pengfei and the others were eating with gusto, so he had no choice but to follow suit. He managed to eat one and left one for Xie Pengfei to eat.
Not only can Xie Pengfei eat chicken legs, but he can also eat steamed buns. He can eat three cold steamed buns without even frowning. Lei Renzai admires him from the bottom of his heart. Xie Pengfei is a foodie at best, but a loser at worst.
In less than ten minutes, everyone had finished breakfast, got a bucket of water from the well in the backyard, wiped their faces, and then walked together to the door of Huangji Tea Shop.
It was around seven o'clock in the morning, the sky had just turned white, and there was no one on the street.
Lei Ren and others came out and saw the eldest lady from Huangji Tea Shop at the door and a young man standing in the middle. There were two people standing behind the young man. In addition to the strong man who gave Lei Ren the steamed buns just now, there was another
A tall and thin middle-aged man.
"Miss Xiu, are we all here? How about we set off right now?"
The young man was dressed in blue warrior attire, with a sword on his waist. He looked handsome and unrestrained. When he spoke, he looked at the eldest lady of Huangji Tea Shop, and there was something unscrupulous in his words and eyes.
ambiguous.
"Where's Uncle Yang? He is the general person in charge this time, why hasn't he come yet?" The girl's name is Huang Xiu, a well-known virtuous beauty. She has been fond of doing business since she was a child, so this time her father asked her to go to sea with the fleet.
Experience, practice.
"Butler Yang has arranged for people to load the goods at the dock. It is estimated that the goods have been loaded by this time. Let's go. By the way, I have a horse. How about we ride together and leave first?"
The young man said with a flattering look on his face.
His name is Chu Tiancai, and he is the leader of a mercenary team on Qingzhu Island.
"No, it's too far from the pier. I'd better walk there with everyone." Huang Xiu refused.
Hearing this, a look of embarrassment flashed across Chu Tiancai's face, and he said: "How can this be done? We are all men, and you are a woman walking in the middle. People will think that I, Chu Tiancai, am so ungrateful. Let's do this, you
Ride my horse and I'll hold it for you, is that okay?"
Chu Tiancai kept stalking and understood Huang Xiu's meaning very clearly.
However, Huang Xiu still refused: "Captain Chu, thank you for your kindness. I am used to walking."
After saying that, he really walked to the beach with everyone.
Chu Tiancai was disappointed and stared at Huang Xiu walking away, snorting with disdain in his heart.
"hehe……"
The day laborers on the side all snickered when they saw this situation.
Chu Tiantian turned his head and happened to see Xie Pengfei beside Lei Ren snickering. He quickly turned cold and scolded: "Why are you laughing? If you laugh again, I will cut off your tongues and drink it!"
Sheng Sheng shouted loudly, and all the laughter suddenly stopped. Everyone had no choice but to move forward honestly.
After Chu Tiancai and the others walked away, Lei Ren asked Xie Pengfei: "Da Fei, who is this Chu Tiancai's background? Is he so awesome?"
"No. In the eyes of the Qingzhu sect, Chu Tiantian's three-legged cat skills are nothing; but in the eyes of common people like us, he is a respected master. It is said that he has entered the
By the early stage of foundation building, you will be agile and agile.
, he used to protect other caravans and killed dozens of bandits and pirates. There are also rumors that this year he is going to take the entrance examination of the Qingzhu Sect. Haha, once he goes, we will have another competitor. And it is strong.
competitors."
Xie Pengfei relaxed his nose and became very worried about taking the entrance examination of the Green Bamboo Sect.
When the group arrived at the pier, they saw a large wooden boat parked in the port. The hull was inlaid with iron sheets, which looked a bit unusual.
There were two big flags flying on the ship. One flag had the word "Huang Ji" embroidered on it, and the other white flag had a big white flag embroidered with the word "Tea".
Lei Ren doesn't understand the rules here, but he is curious, hell, how old is this, and this kind of ancient ship is still used? It seems that although this place knows the secular world, it does not seem to have introduced the advanced technological productivity of the secular world.
come over.
"Is everyone here?"
An old man came down from the ship, first counted Lei Ren and the other six short-term workers, and said: "You six, follow us to Huoyun Island. When we get there, help us unload the goods and help us load the goods. Remember, it is necessary."
Work hard or you won’t have anything to eat!”
After speaking, he walked towards Chu Tiancai and said, "Captain Chu, are all your people here?"
"Arrived early." Chu Tiancai replied. As he spoke, he glanced at Huang Xiu who was standing aside.
"That's good, get on the boat!"
The old man shouted and everyone started to put them on.
"Da Fei, what do we want from our caravan?" Lei Ren pointed at Chu Tiancai and his group of about twenty people, and asked Xie Pengfei in a low voice.
"Brother Lei Ren, they are a mercenary team, and they naturally protect the safety of the fleet. You don't know, it is still a few days' journey from Qingzhu Island to Huoyun Island. Along the way, you may encounter pirates.
At this time, they need to take action." Xie Pengfei whispered.
