With murderous intent, Niu Yuan carried a bag of goods from the cargo ship and walked step by step towards the side of the ship. Just when he was about to reach the side of the ship, a voice called him.
"stop"
Damn it, the murderous intention just now was too strong, and people walking in the dark are very sensitive to this. Could it be that I am going to be...
Niu Yuan secretly clenched his fists, pretended not to hear and continued to want to leave.
However, things did not end as easily as he imagined, because it was Cui Si who discovered his problem.
Cui Si narrowed his eyes and used the torch on the boat to take a closer look at Niu Yuan in front of him.
"Is this old man from my former Sui Dynasty?"
My former Sui Dynasty?
Could it be that these people are from the Tang Dynasty? Damn it, they betrayed the ground and traded with Bangzi. We have killed and injured so many brothers. You are a bunch of scum. Niu Yuan turned his head and stared at Cui Si through his disheveled hair. look.
Cui Si once again felt the fierce murderous aura. This was the murderous aura only experienced by veterans who had fought hundreds of battles on the battlefield. Could it be that the other party was a soldier in the past? Cui Si found a lot in the deal with Bangzi, but they were all Could it be that the civilian men in the logistics and transport troops are going to find a treasure this time?
Seeing that Niu Yuan was silent, Cui Si continued: "Brother, don't get excited. Although we are on this path, we still have a basic bottom line. Do you want to go home?"
go home?
What a luxurious thought.
Niu Yuan thought of his mother, brother, and the girl in his heart, but he knew that after so many years, she was probably gone.
Niu Yuan's eyes were moist when he looked at it, but his vigilance was still there. This was his instinct.
The brightness of the torch in the dark night was not enough, but Cui Si still smelled a clue, and continued to persuade Niu Yuan with a pleasant expression: "Brother, don't be impulsive. If my brother says he can take you back, he will take you back. Several brothers have been raped by me." Cui Si took it home." Cui Si pointed to Jin Wu who was cursing on the shore: "I promise you that he won't live for two years."
Niu Yuan found it incredible. The other party was obviously a smuggler. How could he have the ability to say such words?
Could it be?
Niu Yuan didn't dare to think about it because he was afraid that Cui Si was lying to him.
When Cui Si saw Niu Yuan, he was already silent and continued: "Brother, believe it or not, this is an opportunity, isn't it? In this land, it is hard to say whether you can survive until tomorrow. If you follow me, the worst thing you can do is continue to be my subordinate Cui Si. At least you can return to your roots after falling leaves."
Why did Cui Si say this? Because the survivors of the former Sui Dynasty he found when he came here have persuaded him many times. If the conditions are too good, they will not believe it is true. It is better to say it harshly, and then Give them a minimum commitment.
On the land of China, our ancestors all pay attention to the fallen leaves returning to their roots. They must die at the door of their own homes and return their souls to their hometowns. Otherwise, they will wander away as ghosts.
"Can you really let me die in my hometown?"
Cui Si said proudly: "Of course I, Cui Si, can do what I said. Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, after doing today's work, those wolf cubs won't let you live."
Niu Yuan thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Sure, but there are still a few old brothers here. Can you take them with you? If not, I am willing to use my quota in exchange."
"Sure, it's just a matter of accumulating yin virtue. I've already taken care of this." Cui Si pointed to the servant standing aside: "Send this old man to the cabin to rest."
Two servants stepped forward, unloaded the cargo from Niu Yuan's shoulders, and then helped Niu Yuan into the cabin.
The slaves unloading the goods on the side looked at it curiously, but they did not dare to say anything. The servants on Cui Si's ship were accustomed to this and had no curiosity at all.
On the way into the cabin with support, Niu Yuan began to think about how he could escape if Cui Si was a liar. First, he had to obtain information.
"Thank you two little brothers"
One of the two servants replied: "Brother, you're welcome. It's not the first time that our fourth master has brought his brothers home."
Niu Yuan pretended to be surprised: "Ah, really?"
Another servant replied: "Of course it is true. Last time I talked to some old brothers, I heard that they seem to be from Shandong."
"No, there is another one in Hebei."
"Oh, I didn't remember it. I just listened to what they said at the time. I couldn't understand their local dialect."
"Well, how can you, a southerner, understand the northern language?"
"Isn't this something you learned?"
While the two were talking, Niu Yuan was sent to the cabin. Niu Yuan looked at the cabin. The setting was very simple, with a few bed boards covered with quilts, a small table with a kettle and six teacups.
The two of them helped Niu Yuan to the chair, and one of them freed up his hand to pour Niu Yuan a glass of water: "Brother, you rest first, wait until the fourth master finds some of your brothers, let's unload The goods will go home.”
While the two were talking, they left Niu Yuan alone there and left.
Niu, who had always been very vigilant, did not touch the water in the quilt. He was afraid of being poisoned, and then he began to explore around the cabin to confirm that there was nothing unusual, and then things gradually settled down.
This is real?
Have you met a kind person?
A good Samaritan walking in the dark making deals with an enemy country?
It doesn't feel like it's real at all.
While Niu Yuan was thinking about what was wrong, new footsteps came from outside the cabin. Two servants once again supported a ragged old man who was older than him and walked in.
Niu Yuan saw the person coming and exclaimed: "Brother Li?"
The old man whom Niu Yuan called Brother Li raised his head and looked at Niu Yuan: "Ah Yuan, you are here too. I didn't believe it at first. Could it be that you can really go home?"
The servant once again arranged the old man named Li to sit down, poured another glass of water, and left.
After going back and forth for a while, seven people came into the cabin. They were all old brothers who had been here with Niu Yuan for more than 20 years.
A group of old people who had lived for most of their lives were sitting in this small cabin. Apart from the initial questions to each other, they never said anything.
They were all waiting to see if this dream-like scene was real.
After Cui Si gathered the former Sui survivors brought by Jin Wu tonight, the cargo loading and unloading progress still did not stop. Jin Wu continued to curse and shout on the shore as if he didn't know what was happening.
About three hours later, the cargo of the five merchant ships was unloaded. Cui Si stood on the edge of the ship and watched Jin Wu and his men take away the remaining slaves. As for their fate, I'm sorry, Cui Si has already I've done what I can, and if someone else proves that you ignore me, I won't be able to do anything about it.
Jin Wu watched the soldiers escorting the slaves away and then came to the side of the ship: "The cargo has been unloaded. Can we meet the rightful owner?"
Cui Si nodded in agreement: "Sure, but you also know the rules. Those who walk on the sea are not allowed to go ashore, so what do you say?"
"I'll ask the master"
Jin Wu informed Jin Sanshun of Cui Si's request, and Jin Sanshun slammed the table angrily.
"Asshole, who do you think I am!"
