Lu Jing never thought that one day he would be addicted to moving bricks, and even feel a little bit like when he stayed up all night playing Civilization 5. His brain seemed to be dominated by some mysterious force. After finishing a run, he started again almost like a conditioned reflex. The next trip, I didn’t feel tired at all.
He felt that he could carry it until dark, or even until the next day. However, after an hour and a half, Lu Jing had to stop. It wasn't that he finally ran out of energy, but that the two All fourteen blimps had been emptied.
Looking at the empty cabin, Lu Jing felt a sense of loss. Only then did he remember to count the lottery chips in his hand, but he found that he had unknowingly saved up ten long-term lottery tickets, eight of them. A short-term signing, which also means that he ran a total of nine times.
The other porters were looking at him as if they were monsters. This was because most of them had only made four or five trips, and they only carried two or three bags of corn on each trip. But even so, They were already very tired, and the sweat of many people had already soaked their clothes. They were sitting or lying down, scooping up cold well water and putting it into their mouths.
Niu Jiu was also one of them, and he was still rubbing his shoulders. Niu Jiu, a strong man, was born with supernatural powers and had always been the strongest among the porters. So when he saw Lu Jing carrying six When the bag of corn floated in front of him, he felt quite dissatisfied.
So on the second trip, he tried to add another bag of corn to his shoulders. In the end, he could barely stand up, but could hardly walk. Niu Jiu, who did not believe in evil, took a few steps unsteadily, and soon he was Being overtaken by other porters, I finally had to put the newly added bag of corn back into the cabin.
At this moment, Niu Jiu stared at Lu Jing with big copper bell-like eyes, as if he wanted to understand how the young man in front of him could compare with him.
However, Lu Jing had no intention of arguing with Niu Jiu about such inexplicable things. His attention was now entirely on his body. At this time, Lu Jing didn't know that he was in trouble, but the problem was that he But he didn't know what was happening to him. The changes in his body were obviously not something that could be explained by the science he had learned in the past.
There were still merchant ships unloading goods at the dock at this moment, but Lu Jing and his group of porters had to rest until the afternoon before they could work again. Lu Jing hesitated for a moment and decided not to wait any longer.
His health was important. He had already earned more by carrying corn than he had earned in the previous two days. Since his rations had dropped in the past few days, he had better solve the Dantian problem first.
Now that he had made the decision, Lu Jing went to exchange the lottery chips in his hand. According to the exchange ratio of one lottery chip for one penny, he exchanged a total of 108 cash. Lu Jing carefully kept the money. Then he went to Yu Liulang Teahouse by the dock to ask for leave from Qin Xiaotou. He didn't hide anything, he just said that he was here for medical treatment.
As a result, Qin Xiaotou had a strange look on his face, "Are you sick? When did you get sick?"
"Uh... this morning."
"Then why do you still come to work at the dock?"
"To make money for medical treatment?"
"But I heard that you just carried six bags of corn by yourself, and you were walking vigorously." Qin Xiaotou continued.
Lu Jing didn't expect that this matter actually reached Qin Xiaotou's ears. Generally speaking, after Qin Xiaotou went to the pier for inspection in the morning, he would drink tea on the second floor of Yu Liulang Teahouse next to the pier, and then finish the afternoon. I would also take a bath in the Qiu Yuanwai Bathhouse next door, and I would not always stare at the porters working on the pier.
It seems that someone probably told him. Lu Jing thought of the man in brown who had to show off his strength to grab the rice bag before. He paused and said, "Maybe something went wrong in my practice, and I was planning to ask my teacher."
When Qin Xiaotou heard this, he seemed to be interested, "You also practice Kung Fu? Who is the master? Oh, I remembered it. It is said that Zhang Gongfeng is planning to recruit a disciple recently. It could be you."
"It's me." Lu nodded.
"It seems like you've practiced pretty well. It's a pity to be a porter." Qin Xiaotou rolled his eyes around Lu Jing, "How about you, are you interested in making sticks under me?"
"Thank you for your respect, Xiaotou, but I have only been practicing martial arts for less than a day, and my master said that I have no talent."
Lu Jing has read a lot of online novels before. The protagonists in them all like to play tricks on themselves. They are no different from ordinary people or only a little better than ordinary people, but they insist on pretending to be an outsider, just like many people on the Internet. Nowadays, when little girls take photos, they must make sure they have a beautiful face and a slimmer face.
But is this okay? Lu Jing thinks this is not good. People should still be down-to-earth and eat as many bowls of rice as they can. It should be noted that it is easy to cheat for a while but difficult to cheat forever. You can't just play QQ with people online all your life. Jue Lian, one day we will meet offline. In this case, it is better to be honest from the beginning and treat others with sincerity.
However, for some reason, Qin Xiaotou's face darkened when he heard this, "But did the guys from other docks look for you first?"
"No." Lu Jing didn't quite understand why Qin Xiaotou asked this. He was just an ordinary porter. He had been silent in the Qingzhu Gang for more than half a year. Even though he had performed outstandingly in carrying corn just now, it was reported to Qin Even if it’s in the little head’s ears, how could other little heads know?
Is it because he worshiped the master? Lu Jing thought for a moment and concluded that this was probably the only possibility. Although Zhang Sanfeng had never done anything in the Qingzhu Gang, he had a transcendent status as a worshipper and was a good friend of the previous gang leader. If anyone was willing to sell face to Mr. Zhang, It would make sense to promote his disciples.
However, Lu Jing didn't want to take advantage of this. He had only just become a disciple. Is it okay to take advantage of his master before he even started reviewing his disciple's contribution? Moreover, he himself does not intend to stay in the Qingzhu Gang for a long time. He can leave as a porter if he wants, but becoming a stick means that he has barely entered the core of the Qingzhu Gang. For example, the Qin Xiaotou in front of him is said to have done this before becoming a Xiaotou. He had been a stick for a long time, but by that time it was not so easy to quit the Qingzhu Gang.
So Lu Jing thought for a moment and then added, "Master made an agreement with me when I started. He only taught me martial arts and didn't care about other things. As for the stick... I really can't do it and can't do it, Xiaotou." If you are short of people around you, you might as well try a porter named Niu Jiu."
Lu Jing felt that what he said was quite appropriate. The first half of the sentence euphemistically hinted that even if he was promoted to be a stick, he would not be able to match the line of his master Zhang Sanfeng. The second half of the sentence recommended a suitable person to Qin Xiaotou. The candidate not only solves the problem but also recommends colleagues, which can also be regarded as a good relationship.
Who said that his emotional intelligence is not high? He is just too lazy to think about this kind of thing on weekdays and prefers to work on technology. Besides, he has never eaten pork and has never seen a pig run away? It's not like Lu Jing couldn't help but support him when the need arose, but he never thought that all he would get in exchange for his high-EQ speech was a sneer.
"Haha, do you think I'm a fool?" Qin Xiaotou's expression suddenly dropped this time, and he pointed at his nose and asked.
"???!!"
Lu Jing's face was full of questions. He even recalled the previous dialogue options in his mind, having no idea how the plot was unfolding.
"I was mistaken before. I didn't expect you to hide it quite deeply. It's been eight or nine months since I came to Zhangjia Wharf. You have always hidden the fact that you know martial arts. In this case, why don't you continue to hide it? , Oh, is it because the day is coming and you are starting to get carried away?" Qin Xiaodan stared at Lu Jing with a smile.
Martial arts? day? There were so many flaws in this sentence that Lu Jing didn't know where to ask first, and Qin Xiaotou didn't give him another chance to speak. He put down the tea bowl in his hand, then slapped the table with his left hand, He suddenly raised his voice by three points, "I don't think we should wait for half a month. Mr. Qin will come today to learn your master's clever tricks."
Before he finished speaking, his right hand was already waved out!
The boxing technique practiced by Qin Xiaotou is called Crane Hand. It is rumored that a certain expert created the boxing technique after observing various postures of the crane. The original move highlighted a smart and elegant move, but it fell to Qin Xiaotou. In his hands, there was less of a fairy spirit and more of a strange feeling.
His index finger and middle finger were stretched forward, and the other three fingers were slightly bent, forming a crane's beak shape. Then with a flick of his wrist, lightning pecked out and struck directly at Lu Jing's chest. But in the middle of the battle, he suddenly changed his move and switched to attacking with a feint. Lu Jing's lower abdomen retracted his middle finger at the same time, changing from an open-mouthed crane to a closed-mouthed crane!
