"..."
Liu Shen closed the "Secrets of Qian Shi" in his hand, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing's wrong..."
Wei Dafu hesitated for a while and said: "As for what happened today, if you hadn't helped to stop me, Brother Shen, I might have been kicked to death by Captain Xu. I just want to say thank you." .”
"There's no need to say thank you."
Liu Shen waved his hand and said casually: "We all work together, just a small favor. I am a stranger. If I die one day, I might have to trouble you to collect my body."
"Brother Shen is righteous."
Wei Dafu raised his thumb to show the highest recognition among men, hesitated for a while and said: "I feel a little panicked now after what you just said."
"If you feel panic, go to the hospital..."
Liu Shen glanced at him and said angrily: "I don't know how to treat illnesses, so what's the use of me?"
"Hey, I'm not going, I'm not going."
Wei Dafu waved his hands in confusion, then came to him and said softly: "I know that Brother Shen is a righteous man. If I really die, I hide my money bag under the bed. I hope Brother Shen can help me take it back to my house." Mother-in-law, let her raise our son well."
"I know, I know…"
Liu Shen waved his hand in disgust...
He was already very upset when he encountered the parasitic eyeball today, and now he was even more angry when he saw Wei Dafu's useless look that was both afraid of death and afraid of spending money.
He responded casually: "If you really die, I promise to send you the money bag back."
"Hey, I'm relieved then."
When Wei Dafu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and joked with a smile: "With what Brother Shen said, we won't be afraid of dying even if we sleep."
"Don't..."
Liu Shen glared at him, put out the candle, then went back to bed and lay down, and said angrily: "Thinking about your son having to build a house and marry a wife in the future, I advise you to live a few more years."
"Hahaha, that's it, that's it!"
Wei Dafu could naturally hear the good intentions in his words, and went back to bed with a smile. It was sweet to dream about building a new house for his son and marrying a wife in the future...
Liu Shen touched his eyebrows, then put his hands behind his head and fell asleep while his thoughts were racing.
Perhaps because of a tiring day, he rewarded himself with a dream of becoming an immortal and having beauties around his knees.
In his dream, he dreamed that he was against the world and shouted: 'You think you can kill me? '
Then, like a god of war, he fought one against ten thousand, his eyes were scarlet as he slayed, with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood under his feet, and the evil energy rising from his body almost condensed into substance.
Then, it comes to men’s favorite part - searching for beauties...
All the fat and thin beauties, each with their own merits, were caught together. Just as they were gearing up to enjoy them, they were suddenly awakened by a cry...
With this exclamation, all the beauties in the dream, who were fat and thin, each with their own merits, disappeared like flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water...
"I'm sorry..."
Liu Shen opened his bloodshot eyes.
At the critical moment, someone disturbed his sweet dream. He stood up and slapped the bed board to curse.
But before he could say anything, the angry look on his face froze, and he could faintly hear the shouts of the people in the room: "The rich man is dead, the rich man is dead..."
"..."
Wei Dafu is dead...
I slept so hard that I couldn't wake up again...
The porter who lived in the same room got up early in the morning and saw him with a smile on his face, but he was lying on the bed with bleeding from his mouth and nose and was not breathing. He was so scared that he flew away.
Liu Shen heard the noise and hurriedly put on his clothes. When he went over to take a look, he couldn't help but look a little dazed.
Wei Dafu is indeed dead.
The people who lived under the same roof and were chatting and laughing last night were gone when they woke up, and even their bodies were cold.
The rabbit dies and the fox grieves, and things harm its kind.
The porter who saw this scene felt an indescribable sadness both visually and psychologically. This emotion had nothing to do with the closeness of the relationship.
Just when everyone was wondering what to do, Team Leader Xu rushed over after hearing the noise. He saw Wei Dafu lying dead on the bed, muttering something unknown.
Perhaps it was because the eyebrows and eyes had enhanced the five senses, Liu Shen could vaguely hear what he muttered: "Unlucky..."
The porters who participated in picking up the stone statues last night were all silent, because they could all guess the cause of Wei Dafu's death - death from exhaustion.
Now that I think about it, Wei Dafu was so tired that he vomited blood last night. Later, his face turned rosy and he didn't show any sign of fatigue. It should be the body's stress response, which is what the saying goes: "returning to the light."
Unexpected, reasonable...
Team leader Xu was in charge of the coolies at the dock, and he had naturally seen people dying of exhaustion, so he didn't say much. He just took out a few pieces of silver from his own pocket and asked the people below to dig a hole and bury the person.
As for what kind of pension? compensation?
Not even a word was mentioned...
After all, Wei Dafu's contract of sale is still with the Chishui Gang. He is not only a porter at the dock, but also a servant bought by the Chishui Gang in name.
In this society, when a servant dies, if the master’s family has some conscience, they will provide some pension to the family of the deceased;
If the owner had no conscience and buried the person on the spot, the government would not care much about it.
After all, it was just a slave who died.
As for Jianghu gangs like the Chishui Gang, it is difficult to have anything to do with the word 'conscience'. Even if there are pensions issued by them, it is estimated that they will not fall into the hands of the family members of the deceased.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same.
Several porters who were watching the fun laughed and shared a tael of silver from Captain Xu, dug a hole in the woods near the pier, and buried Wei Dafu's body.
It was done before noon...
There were still discussions during lunch, but after being warned by Team Leader Xu, no one mentioned it again.
During dinner, everyone was chatting happily about their family's problems. Except for the people who lived in the same room as Wei Dafu, everyone seemed to have forgotten that such a person had ever been there.
Liu Shen sat on the edge of the bed, his heart felt like a stone weighing on him, making him unable to breathe.
The other four people in the same room were packing their things and moving to other rooms.
Someone had died in the room, and it was a violent death that lay in bed without waking up. They all felt terrified.
Even people like Bantou Xu think their request to 'move to other rooms' is reasonable.
Only Liu Shen felt a little sad...
They both sold themselves to the Chishui Gang, and he seemed to see his own shadow in Wei Dafu...
'Save money and redeem yourself! '
The night is like a tide...
The original Datongbu for six people has now become a large single room for one person to live alone.
Liu Shen found a money bag from under Wei Dafu's bed. When he opened it, he found that the scattered silver beans in it totaled less than five taels of silver.
Just these five taels of silver were saved by Wei Dafu after working at the dock for a year, working as a young man and taking on private jobs, so he was frugal and even reluctant to go to the medical clinic.
People in the world are in a hurry, and all they want is a few taels of broken silver.
It just so happens that a few taels of broken silver can solve all kinds of panic in the world.
Liu Shen didn't know how much his life was worth before, but now it seems that it is only worth a mere five taels of silver.
He lay on the bed and let out a long sigh, looked at the big single room where he lived alone, and muttered: "Big rich, big rich, I can live in a single room because I have accepted your love. This money..."
"I'll send it back to you tomorrow!"
