…
Uncle Wang made a solemn judgment: "In the next year, if these water bandits can completely intercept those fleets that do not pay tolls, no one will be able to penetrate this waterway and board the opposite shore. , then their purpose can be achieved.”
"From now on, each fleet will cost more money than before."
Speaking of this, Uncle Wang's face was inevitably a little ugly.
"However, even if they succeed this time, we can still win it back next time!"
"I believe that the owners of major shipping companies will not let these people set such a precedent at will!"
Uncle Wang is very confident about his boss.
"I see!"
After hearing what Uncle Wang said, Sheng Changquan finally understood that the two parties in the relationship competed for profits in this way.
However, Sheng Changquan was not interested in these. At the moment, he just wanted to know why someone would still want to embarrass them after he and others had already paid money.
"Mr. Lang!"
As if he could see Sheng Changquan's doubts, Uncle Wang continued: "Now, it is the beginning of the struggle between the two sides, so even if we give money and pay tolls, those water bandits will still give us these You can teach someone a lesson!"
"The purpose is to establish authority and kill chickens to scare monkeys!"
Sheng Changquan frowned, but he completely understood what Uncle Wang meant.
"Then the money we paid earlier is of no use at all?"
Sheng Changquan remembered the bag of silver from before and asked involuntarily.
Although there was no reaction on his face, as if he didn't care about the money, in fact, his heart was throbbing violently!
"That silver is not useless!"
Hearing Sheng Changquan ask this question, Uncle Wang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Because we paid the toll, the gangsters who took our money will not attack us again."
"Just like the Sickle Gang this time, they will never attack us in the next journey!"
"However, apart from them, the only ones who are most likely to make things difficult for us are the guys from the lone gang."
Uncle Wang saw clearly and knew what enemies he and others were going to face.
"In that case, what does Uncle Wang want to say to me?"
After learning that the enemy was destined to come, Sheng Changquan relaxed a little.
"Uncle Wang, do you still need us to stay on the third floor and not come down? So as not to disturb your arrangement?"
"Huh? This..."
Facing Sheng Changquan's trusting eyes, Uncle Wang felt a little embarrassed this time.
However, the situation was urgent at the moment, and no one knew when the water bandits would come, so he stopped being coy and said bluntly: "Lang Jun, actually..."
"Actually, I feel that our boat shop may not have enough manpower in the future, so..."
"so……"
"I'm afraid, I need your help!"
…
On the other side, the thin, pitiful little fishing boat was floating precariously on the dark, cold river.
On the vast, deserted, silent and dark river, this small boat lit with a cool windproof lantern was wandering like a lonely ghost...
Wandering...
"Huh~"
"It's really cold now!"
"Yes! Yes!"
"Who says it isn't?"
"..."
The two people on the boat were chatting quietly about the weather while rowing the oars on the side of the boat hard to row towards their home.
"Crash!"
"Crash..."
The sound of rushing water kept ringing, and the small fishing boat rushed towards its home nest at a fast and beautiful speed.
I have to say that these water bandits are much better at working on the water!
"Brother Mao, now that you have completed your mission this time, I'm afraid you will be rewarded by the gang leader again!"
Among the two boat handlers, the more clever one turned around carefully and respectfully flattered Mao Cai.
Because the Sickle Gang is said to be a gang, but in fact it is just a cottage composed of water bandits.
No, it should be said to be an island village.
Therefore, outsiders cannot distinguish their natures and call the leader the leader, but internally they are called the gang leader.
Although it's not clear, everyone knows that the shouts of the leaders of this gang are more impressive and more powerful than those of the big boss!
"Yes! Yes!"
"Brother Mao may be promoted this time and become the leader of our gang!"
Another "me too" type of boat handle, stupidly imitating his companions, flattering Mao Cai, trying to get some promotion.
It's a pity that Mao Cai, who was left behind, has no time to deal with these two guys.
"no!"
"This time, I must take revenge!"
Although Mao Cai also received many lessons and humiliations in the Sickle Gang, there were even many more severe humiliations than before.
But, this time, that time!
At that time, he was just a small subordinate under others, with no status at all. He could tolerate being bullied...
That’s weird!
But, what can I do if I can’t bear it?
Mao Cai unconsciously touched his own anus, feeling the faint pain in it, and couldn't help but feel cruel in his heart!
"I said, I won't let others bully me anymore!"
"Fu Lai Boating, this time, I'll fight with you!"
In fact, for Mao Cai, being laughed at and spurned by others was nothing, but there was one thing he couldn't bear!
That is, do something to him!
Not to mention, it's his butt!
Don't think wrongly, because when we lost our talents before, many people worked together, so everyone would inevitably have something wrong at that time.
Perhaps someone accidentally touched Mao Cai's "flaw" and hurt his dignity, so he made his decision.
Next, after he returned to the gang, he called people and made appointments with people from different gangs to ask them to avenge him.
As for those who work alone, they are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but they are afraid that they will have no business.
Now, since Mao can tell the location of Sheng Changquan's fleet, these gangsters will naturally be willing to attack them.
Without him, this is just a gang member, their way of survival. At the same time, this plan is also Mao Cai's conspiracy.
…
"coming!"
After discussing with Sheng Changquan, Wang Bo immediately took over the manpower from the Shenghe family, divided all the manpower in half, and placed them on the two ships respectively.
However, because the Shenghe family was on the same boat, all the people in their houses were arranged together and put on the passenger boat.
…
(When I woke up, it was already dark, so I will update it later)
…
"really!"
Uncle Wang squinted his eyes and stared at the unusually peaceful river in front of him, his heart moving slightly.
"After all, it's here!"
Although it seems that there is nothing on the river now, it is calm and very peaceful, but in Uncle Wang's heart, he is clear. At the moment, it is just the transition before the storm.
The enemy is already here.
On the river surface not far away, stars appeared occasionally, like fireflies, looming in the quiet and dim waters.
Especially at this time when the stars and moon are not shining, those little fluorescent lights reflect the gloominess around them.
On the silent river surface, whirlpools swirled round and round, which vaguely foreshadowed the coming crisis.
"It seems that my prediction was good!"
"These people really want to use our Fulai Boat Line to establish their prestige!"
Smelling the fishy smell rising from the water vapor, a ray of cold light suddenly appeared on Uncle Wang's old face. His usually kind-hearted image became even more serious, as if he had turned into a tiger about to eat people.
"In that case, let's look at everyone's own methods!"
"If you want to eat our Fulai Boat Line's boat, then you have to see if your teeth are tough!"
And just when Uncle Wang was furious and ready to fight, the whistle that had been set up on the ship immediately shouted loudly.
"Everyone, be careful, there are enemies!"
The whistle is a unique position in the shipping industry. It is a position that must be set up by shipowners who specialize in transportation.
Whistle posts are usually held by tall, strong people with extremely keen eyes and ears. They often stand on the bow of the ship, listening to all directions and seeing in all directions. They are used to warn all directions in case of crisis. Please remind the people on board.
Of course, not only man-made disasters, but also natural disasters are within the scope of their vigilance.
"Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom..."
A rapid but rhythmic sound suddenly rang on the ship's deck. Moreover, listening to the sound and looking at their skillful movements, it was obvious that these people had been prepared for a long time.
In fact, this is indeed the case. After the Scythe Gang messenger came, the guards and sailors on the ship also understood what they were going to face next.
Without him, they would definitely encounter a battle on the way down the road, so they made preparations early, packed up their own affairs, and were ready to get started.
At this time, the shout from the whistle was more like a horn than a police whistle. At least, in the ears of this group of people, it was the horn of the impending war.
"superior!"
"Follow up quickly!"
"..."
Waves of rapid and violent shouts rang out, and the atmosphere on the two ships suddenly became "lively".
Yes, it is "lively"!
At the very least, in the eyes of Sheng Changquan and others, there is indeed a sense of happiness.
"Master, they... seem a little..."
"...Something...strange!"
Xu Changqing was a little hesitant. He followed Sheng Changquan, touched the back of his thick head, and stuttered in surprise: "Could it be...don't they know that people might be killed or injured next?"
"Why do you feel that these people are so happy...as if they are celebrating a festival?"
Although what Xu Changqing said was a bit exaggerated, it was still reasonable.
"There must be something special about this, right?"
Sheng Changquan was also a little unsure. While adjusting the special "belt" around his waist, he guessed: "I guess they are all used to it, right?"
"Yeah?"
Xu Changqing was still a little confused, but at this moment, he couldn't help but have time to think about it. After all, the situation had begun to become a little tense.
Because those people have shown up directly and shown their swords.
In fact, the reason why the people on this boat dared to be so active and "happy" was not only because they were used to it, as Sheng Changquan guessed, but the most fundamental reason was because of the rules set by their boat company.
After they died working for the shipyard, their families could receive a pension that they would not have to worry about for the rest of their lives.
Fulai Shipyard is a large shipyard with a strong background. It is said that it is related to certain nobles in the palace. Not only does it have strong financial resources, but it also has extremely strong connections. Therefore, they are naturally generous to the end when they treat their subordinates in the shipyard.
For these people, instead of living in confusion all their lives, living without insurance, and not knowing whether they will be able to earn stable money to support their families in the future, it is better to sell their lives to a shipping company in exchange for a lifetime of no need for their families. Compensation for worry.
In this way, even if you die, it will definitely not be a loss!
And this ridiculous but pitiful reason is indeed the real reason why these people behave like this.
At the same time, following the commotion caused by Uncle Wang's side, the enemies on the opposite side naturally immediately realized something was wrong.
"Hahaha!"
"Brothers, follow up quickly!"
These people are all independent gangs. They are not as strong as the powerful gangs and can have a fixed source of income. They are composed of gangsters who have committed crimes, or poor people who cannot survive, so , the life they live is precarious all day long, with one meal at a time and no meal at all.
Since they carry their belts and live their lives, they are naturally full of courage.
After all, they have nothing but this life.
"Now that people have discovered us, let's take action quickly!"
The leading brothers in the crowd on the opposite side showed their flags one after another and rushed towards the boats of the Sheng and He families.
"Yes, boss!"
"Come on!"
"..."
These people responded to their boss's call one after another, drew out their weapons, and rushed over with howls.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom……"
A series of "water ghosts" emerged from the bottom of the water one after another. Each of them held a knife in their mouth, immersed themselves in the water, and swam and clawed their way up to the boat.
These people are composed of several small gangs. Although there is no tacit understanding and they are not as compatible as the members of those gangs, when it comes to ruthlessness, these people are more powerful!
"Come on, put on the harpoon!"
Seeing these "water ghosts" crawling up on their hands and knees, Wang Bo immediately directed his guards and sailors to use harpoons to repel these enemies.
