Keep walking along the river, we finally came to a pier. The pier's slogan is that we can only reach a city directly by boat.
But under the current circumstances, looking at how few people there are now, I can't help but feel that some things still need to be kept safe.
If breach of contract is something like this, the more likely it is that there will be more dangers, and I can't let my brother and Brother Asan have any risks.
Because these people must be more directed at me, I thought to myself if there would be any situation and any necessity.
I will definitely make any move, and I will not implicate everyone. This is what I think of.
I secretly cheered or encouraged myself.
"What should we do in this situation? It seems that the boatman is going to sail today. Let's go in like beggars. Everyone must spread out, don't panic, don't be nervous, you just call
Just me, Ninth Brother, is fine. You must remember, don’t call me by my name. This is Brother Asan.”
The two beggars seemed to have a very happy look on their faces and spoke directly to us happily.
"My name is Dog Tou, and his name is Cat Tou."
I couldn't help but twitch my face. What does it mean to have a dog head or a cat head? It's very close to the names of our brothers, but I didn't say anything.
However, now is not the time for joking, the four of us are walking directly towards the dock.
The boatman probably didn't have much business this morning. He was sitting there, squatting and smoking, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, as if he was waiting for this guest to come up.
And this little beggar named Dogou seemed to be quite familiar with the boatman, and he said to the boatman cheerfully.
"Uncle Shui, we want to be your boat. We go to the city to beg for food. We are hungry here. They can no longer feed us. There is no place to eat anymore. We can only eat in the city."
The big fish and meat are gone!”
"You two little beggars really want to go to the city to eat. The city is not so easy to mess around. Let me tell you that the city is very chaotic now, and there are many things going on. Now you go over there to beg for food.
I definitely can’t ask for it, and with so many problems happening now, how can you eat so much food? I’m going to ask you two to stay at home honestly, and we can all keep a bite for our blind date here.
I’ll give you food to eat, and you won’t die of hunger when the time comes, let alone big fish and meat, you may not even survive if you get there!”
The fisherman squatted there and smoked a cigarette, as if it was a bit incredible that we were going to the city, or he thought we were joking.
Maybe beggars rarely come here, but it's just by chance, so the fisherman also tried to persuade them.
Of course, the fisherman is also a relatively simple person, maybe just because there are many things, which may be more for our situation.
If we don't leave, it's for our own sake, from a unilateral perspective.
The two little beggars named Dogou and Catou were quite flexible and jumped directly onto the boat. The fisherman said directly and cheerfully, as if there was not much room for negotiation at all.
A flattering look, completely like that of a little beggar?
There is no doubt that the performance is complete, but this cannot be said to be a performance, it can only be said to be a real life situation of themselves.
"So let's sail quickly. There are 4 of us now. We are 4 beggars. We are going over there to eat and drink for a while and then come back. So please see if there are any guests. If there are no guests, can we come together?
Just set sail and leave, but have to wait for some guests to arrive?"
When the fishermen saw us like this, we looked so helpless. Once we were not moved, we left.
It seems that they don't care about our appearance, and they don't welcome or reject us. Anyway, maybe they don't care about our appearance as beggars.
They also feel that it is like a kind of dog-skin plaster, and they feel that they dare not leave if they can't get rid of it.
"Wait a moment, you are a beggar. Wait a moment and sit in the bow of the boat. Your smell is really stinking to the sky. My guests will be smoked away later. When the time comes, the money will be paid."
If you can't get it or touch it, then I have to drive people off the boat. Go inside quickly, sit up, and wait for my guests to come over before we start the boat together. It will still take about half an hour.
.”
The fisherman seems to be really waiting for the guests. He doesn't seem to be in a hurry. He seems to be very confident about setting off the boat immediately. He is sure that there will be a group of guests coming. It seems that if nothing unexpected happens.
This so-called reserved guest should have made an appointment in advance, right? In fact, I also understand that I have actually seen fishermen like this in our previous hometown.
I just didn't expect him to be so old today. He is actually an honest and honest person. So according to the traditional rules of one of our hometowns, the boat must be full and taken away directly.
If it was just for the four of us, what if there wasn't a high reward for this thing?
He won't leave. In fact, he understands these things very well. When doing business, you definitely can't lose money.
"Okay, Uncle Shui. You know what we should do. Okay, it won't affect your business. It's so prosperous. Let's go to the corner inside the boat and sit up. There happens to be a wooden and bamboo tree over there to cover us. That's fine.
Now, you don’t need to tell us who they are when the time comes. We, being honest, won’t say anything and it will definitely not affect your image inside, okay?”
The little beggar with a dog head and the little beggar with a cat head led us to do it in this boat. In fact, I was very emotional.
This is actually my hometown, and they are actually my fellow villagers. I just didn’t say the wrong thing, and after so many years.
It felt like a dream, as if I had never left. Maybe it would be a bit of a surprise to Brother Asan.
Because he had never lived here before, it was completely natural for him to sit on the bow of the boat.
Of course, when we communicate in this area, we always use some native languages to communicate.
"So how is the business here? It seems that business should be okay during this period. I heard that many people are returning to their hometowns. I heard that there is a lot of chaos outside. Have many people reflected on it? Then your business
How many?"
Mao Tou was chatting with the fisherman, and it seemed that he just got some information. It seemed that what we were doing was inadvertently, and we didn't deliberately talk about anything. It was just simple.
She was just chatting about some ordinary details of life.
"Don't talk about it, it's not easy for everyone to do business during this period, but things are going well for me as a boatman, because it's very difficult outside now, but I don't understand the people in our hometown, and some people from outside.
Like to run towards us, don’t tell us that our place used to be a remote place, but we are in a place with high mountains and flowing water. If you want to hide something, this place is really a good place to hide. However, we are here
Business was very good for a period of time, and there were many people from outside. By listening to their accents, we knew what kind of people they were. However, these people were also easy to talk to, and the money given was enough, so we didn’t say anything.
You can earn money from things, and it’s just good, as long as you are a good person. You promise us not to say anything that harms us in this village. Can we allow you to come to our place for all these things?"
Let me check it out. It seems that some information on this matter has really changed. I took a look with Brother Asan.
In fact, we know inadvertently that there are two possibilities for these so-called outsiders, either they are the Jintang.
The people they sent were either probably for whom they came, or they were another group of people, and we know who they are.
Then we can definitely know who these people are and why they are here.
In fact, many things about this are already obvious, so someone is chasing us.
I spoke to Uncle Shui in my hometown language.
"So, you have to pay attention. If there are too many immigrants, how can our village be able to bear so many people? Who knows whether they are good or bad, so you still have to pay attention to this thing. After all, the folk customs here are
Honesty, if you come here to cause damage, wouldn’t it be a harm to the common people!”
Uncle Shui smiled cheerfully, as if he didn't care about my topic.
"Actually, you have nothing to worry about. You don't have to worry that the people who came some time ago are ordinary people. It seems that no one came here these two days ago. A group of people came yesterday, and now they have to go back today.
, so what’s the point of worrying about sending this kind of thing? Knowing that they found that we don’t have anything worth finding here, and this kind of thing is not interesting, they left naturally, and they didn’t receive any calls today.
A large number of people who came from the city have to be sent away, so sooner or later they will think that we are in a remote country here, and they feel that there is no way to survive in this place, and they have not fled to other places.
Go to the city!”
I was stunned for a moment, and I spoke in a very calm language.
"Uncle Shui, please pay attention. Are the people who sent them away today also outsiders? Do we have to wait for outsiders to leave?"
"Yes, we are waiting for their outsiders to send us to the city. We will send them back today. I already paid my deposit yesterday. I came yesterday and left today. So for this matter, I don't know when they will arrive.
We are here to see what we have given away, and these people have already come in two groups, so I know them all, and they have come here very quickly so far. You see they have come today..."
As soon as he finished speaking, four people came from the corner. Those four people were actually dressed up and wearing bamboo paper bags.
Moreover, wearing a black shirt, it can be seen that they are deliberately keeping their hats down so that others cannot see their appearance.
But you can see a certain murderous aura in them.
Uncle Asan and I took a look at each other. We didn’t know whether these people were enemies or friends. (To be continued)
