The two porters at the back saw that they had not received any business. From their appearance, they seemed to be a little afraid of the porter named Brother Zhao. They did not dare to make any noise. They only dared to mutter a few words indistinctly in their throats and followed the others listlessly. Go outside.
At this time, there were far fewer people exiting the platform. Zhang Yongfu walked out slowly, facing a gust of breeze, which made people feel extremely cool, and Zhang Yongfu's mood improved a lot.
For some reason, he felt that the fat porter named Brother Zhao who was following closely behind him had an indescribable temperament that should not be underestimated, so he asked curiously: "Your accent sounds like you are not from here. Why did you come to Nanjing to ask for work?"
"Sir, you have good eyesight. I am from Hubei, and the following brothers all fled from Henan a few years ago. Who would be willing to leave their hometown if they were not forced to do anything. Alas!"
"Looking at you, you should have some experience. Why do you have to do this hard work?"
"Sir, you don't know. It's hard to find jobs in Nanjing. Most of the people who hire workers are willing to hire locals. People like us who come from out of town can only sell a handful of our efforts."
"Master, I see that you are a kind-hearted person. The younger ones didn't get much work today. When you arrive at the field soon, can you reward the younger ones with three melons and two dates? When you go back, please I can have a full meal." The young porter who had not dared to compete with Brother Zhao for a living prayed from behind.
"Go, go, I'll give you face. I just want to get paid for nothing if I don't work. I don't get this kind of good thing. Get out of my way." A follower scolded impatiently.
The porter didn't dare to reply, but he just followed behind with his body hunched timidly.
At this time, the exit gate was still quite crowded. The porter named Zhao seemed to be very experienced in this kind of situation. He said, "Master, just follow the younger one. There are many people here, so be careful of those with dirty hands and feet."
As he spoke, he walked in front of the crowd carrying two big boxes. He didn't see how he was pushing or shoving with others. He walked left and right in the crowd a few times before leading them to the front of the crowd and arrived at the train station easily. main entrance.
You know, there are no VIP channels during this period. No matter you are in a first-class carriage or a third-class carriage, you have to go out through one channel when leaving the station, which will inevitably cause congestion. This is also the best time for thieves and quickies of all kinds to take action.
This situation has existed until later generations. Railway stations are often a place where all kinds of monsters, monsters, monsters, and monsters are mixed together.
That's why the porter named Zhao just reminded everyone to be careful of thieves.
Zhang Yongfu has been running around for the Kong family all year round, so he naturally knows this situation. Seeing that the porter surnamed Zhao is very good at getting things done, his favorable impression of him has increased a lot.
Just when a few people were about to walk out of the door, they heard someone in the crowded crowd behind suddenly scream loudly: "There is a thief, catch him quickly."
Zhang Yongfu looked back when he heard the sound, and saw several people pushing and pulling in the crowd, forcing the already crowded crowd to keep moving around, and chaos suddenly broke out.
Seeing that the crowd was about to swarm in, the porter named Zhao, although he was carrying two large boxes, was very agile. He pulled out Zhang Yongfu's sleeves and walked to the side, shouting: "Master, follow me. You won’t get hit by the crowd if you walk this way.”
Nanjing Xiaguan Railway Station is actually quite spacious. There is a large square outside the station gate, where various cars, horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws that pick up and drop off people are parked here.
Of course, there are also various hawkers and innkeepers in the square who offer accommodation. In fact, it is very similar to the train station in the 1980s.
Zhang Yongfu followed the porter and finally got out of the crowded crowd. Naturally, he didn't want to get stuck in the traffic jam again. In the confusion, he subconsciously followed the porter and walked quickly to the side along the wall. After only a dozen steps, he came to a car pulling a car. Tarpaulin next to vintage truck.
Zhang Yongfu and others did not notice that the parking position of the truck was somewhat irregular. The front of the truck was slanted out and formed an angle with the wall. When they walked to the middle of the truck, they blocked the view of the people behind.
At this moment, Zhang Yongfu suddenly heard two muffled groans coming from behind, the sound was like sprained feet while walking. He looked back without realizing it, and was shocked to see his two followers, both rolling their eyes. , and fell softly into the arms of the two porters behind.
After walking around for a long time, he felt a chill in his heart. He instantly understood that he was being robbed. He was about to shout, but he saw the porter named Zhao with a smile on his face. At this time, there was a cold look in his eyes, and he pulled his clothes. But Shou's left hand was rubbing the palm of his hand into a sword, and just waved it upward.
Zhang Yongfu also practiced a few boxing techniques back then, and he thought he could deal with a few ordinary men. However, in the hands of the porter surnamed Zhao, he had no time to make any movement. Just a thought flashed through his head, and he was beaten by a The hand knife was cutting right on his neck.
Zhang Yongfu's brain was dizzy and his vision turned black. Just like his two followers, his body fell softly and downwards.
But he saw the porter surnamed Zhao reaching out to hold him up and whispering, "Hurry!"
The tarpaulin on the truck suddenly opened a corner. The porter surnamed Zhao lifted Zhang Yongfu, who weighed about 100 kilograms, over his head with both hands. A pair of arms also stretched out from the carriage to catch the unconscious Zhang Yongfu. Lifted into the dark carriage.
When several other porters sent the two attendants and saluted into the carriage, and the tarpaulin of the carriage was lowered again, less than three seconds passed.
It was already around 7:30 in the evening, the sky had already darkened, and the truck's tall cabin just blocked the light from the street lights in the square, so no one could see what was happening here.
In addition, the bustling and noisy crowd at the gate attracted most people's attention and attention. No one noticed at all. The few people who had bypassed from the side disappeared in the blink of an eye like magic.
After the truck started, it quickly left the square, followed the not-so-long traffic flow, and disappeared into the vast night in an instant.
At this time, at the other end of the square, next to a black car, a middle-aged man who looked like a driver was still looking at the station gate.
If anyone familiar saw it, they would naturally know that it was the driver and car sent by the Kong family to pick up Zhang Yongfu.
However, this driver will never wait for Uncle Zhang Yongfu, the manager of the Kong family's outer courtyard.
…
After Mr. Kong Da received the driver's report that Zhang Yongfu had not been received, he didn't take it seriously at first.
Zhang Yongfu has been busy working for the Kong family and has many errands on his hands. It has happened before that he was delayed by something that happened temporarily and needed to be dealt with urgently, thus delaying his trip.
