world's most stupid
Chapter 196 Secret Realm Day 1
Long Yanchi secret realm, come in.
But the situation was very bad. The moment he entered the secret realm, he not only separated from his friends, but also had a little problem with his body, no, it was a big problem!
Anyone who is in He Chun's current situation will think that he has traveled through time again.
The moment he entered the secret realm, he became another person, a...
"Hurry up, everyone! Don't waste time! New ships are still waiting to enter the port, what are you dawdling about, you don't want wages, do you?" The contractor's scalp whip slapped the ground.
A row of coolies descended one by one from the bridge deck with heavy sacks on their backs. A young man in the middle, wearing worn shorts, leaned forward, carrying more sacks than the others, and walked forward step by step.
Take a step and drag your right foot.The man turned out to be a lame man.
The owner of the ship accidentally saw it and was very upset. He immediately called for the contractor, pointed at the young man and questioned him: "I paid twice the price, and you find me such a man? A cripple?"
The foreman saw clearly the person the captain was referring to, and quickly apologized with a smile: "Captain Liu, don't be angry, don't think that the lame man has bad legs, but he has great strength. The goods are much more than others. Captain Liu, you are not the first time to come to Yuncheng, and it is not the first time for me, Wang Da, to cooperate with you. When do you think I have delayed your business? If that person is not easy to use , I dare not arrange for him to come to you."
The captain surnamed Liu looked at the young man a few more times, seeing that he was indeed walking fairly steadily, and his speed was not really much slower than other coolies, and counting the sacks on his back, Captain Liu's anger subsided, But he still warned Wang Da: "This time is different than usual, we don't have much time to stay at the pier, you'd better move all the goods before noon as agreed, otherwise..."
Wang Da patted his chest, "Don't worry, Captain Liu, I will definitely load all the goods before noon! You can ask me later!"
"I'm not the only one asking, but if you delay for a while, you won't want the rest of your wages." Captain Liu returned to the cabin with a flick of his sleeves.
Wang Da bent over to watch Captain Liu respectfully, turned around after a while, all the obsequious smiles on his face disappeared, and his eyes were stern.
WTF!Isn't it just a dog from Lancui Trading Company, it was raised from a separate family.It's a pity that he didn't dare to curse the curse in his heart, so he could only vent his anger on coolies.Immediately, he untied the horsewhip around his waist, and swung it hard in the air.
"Crack!" The sound of the whip cracked in the air, and Wang Da shouted at the coolies: "Hurry up! Whoever dares to delay, don't even want to get a penny of today's wages! Hurry up!"
The coolies were not slaves and would not be whipped, but they were afraid that they would not get paid, so they were urged to speed up their pace one by one.
He Chun also wanted to hurry up, but he couldn't.His feet were not really suited for such drudgery, but he had no other means of earning money at the moment.
He changed his body, lost a leg, lost his cultivation, and had to start all over again.
He called Amon in his mind, but Amon didn't respond. He tried to enter Amon's soul sea directly, but he found that the periphery of his soul sea seemed to be covered by a layer of black oil.
In other words, his soul, his mental power, was trapped in this body.He couldn't use his mental power, let alone contact Amon.
He wanted to look inside, but he couldn't.
He wanted to use the good fortune silk, but there was no response from the navel. After a few days of experimentation, he no longer had the itchy navel and hairy silk when he got up in the morning.
Another person might go crazy in such a situation.
Fortunately, He Chun has already had time-traveling experience and has been undercover many times, so he has a good adaptability to changing identities.
Although he is equivalent to going back to before liberation, as long as his knowledge and memory are still there, he is not afraid that he will not be able to regain his strength.
The important thing is that his soul trapped reminded him of He Yici.
The body where his soul is now does not belong to him, and the soul seems to be trapped in this body by something.
So will He Yici encounter the same situation as him?
He Chun had a hunch that as long as he could solve his own problems, he could save He Yici.
Now, without a clue, he can only come a little bit.
First of all, he wanted to train his body, but after just a few days of training, his body began to suffer from a lot of necrosis and corruption. Although Amon also said that normal practice of Chaos Body Refining Technique would gradually damage the body, this rotten The speed is too fast.In particular, his soul was also a little bit torn due to the physical injury, which frightened He Chun and did not dare to continue practicing.Fortunately, his body is considered strong, and his strength is relatively strong, even if he loses a leg, he can make a living.
Secondly, he thought of the talisman, but the talisman has no cultivation support and energy infusion, so it has to rely on materials, and materials need money to buy.
For this, he needed a start-up fund, and when he woke up from this body, this body was already doing coolies, so he did it by the way.
It is said that the place where he works is called Yuncheng Wharf. During this period of time, the number of ships coming and going has increased by more than ten times than usual. Many ships choose to stop at Yuncheng Wharf to rest and enter Yuncheng to replenish supplies.
The reason why the Yuncheng Wharf is so lively is that it is the turn of the Longqi City located in the upper reaches of the Yuncheng River to hold the Dragon Breeding Festival this year.
This Dragon Cultivation Club is actually similar to recruiting apprentices from the cultivation sects in the cultivation world.
He Chun has inquired a little in the past two days. This world is still called Longyanchi. Legend has it that there is a sect of cultivation at the north and south ends of the world. Body and then soar, this is considered a success.
The cultivation sect in the south is called Shenglong Road, and the sect in the north is called Hualongchi.
Although the two factions say that the ultimate goal is to become a dragon, the process seems to be a little different, and the methods of training disciples are also different.
And the two sects naturally formed a competitive relationship. In the past, they often fought for outstanding disciples, and there were not many good seedlings who died because of this.
Later, the two factions probably felt that it was not an option to fight like this, so they agreed with each other to recruit disciples in a city every ten years, and whoever recruited them would be the ones, and no competition was allowed.
Of course, if it is a good seedling found beyond the ten-year period, then how to grab it or how to grab it.
In any case, because of this ten-year agreement, the struggle between the two sects for their disciples has indeed been reduced a lot, and with this ten-year agreement, in the past they had to go everywhere to find good seedlings, but now they only need to release the news and wait for the good seedlings to find them by themselves. It's fine to come to the door, even if you lose half of it, it's much better than working hard and possibly being robbed and killed.
As a result, Long Yanchi is much more stable, and ordinary people can also choose the school they want to go to with peace of mind, and just go to the place where the disciples are selected.
Afterwards, the disciple selection conference held every ten years became one of the most important events in Longyanchi, because everyone's goal was to become a real dragon, so the disciple selection conference was also called the "Dragon Cultivation Club".
It is not the first time that the people in charge of the wharf have experienced this kind of hustle and bustle. They have already summed up a set of effective management methods for special periods. Unimpeded, there will be no congestion at the terminal.
Only at this time will the coolies on the dock greatly increase. Usually, all kinds of work on the dock are monopolized by the two local gangs. If you are not a member of their gang or is allowed by them, don't even think about making a living at the dock.
He Chun took this opportunity to become one of the thousands of coolies on the pier. Normally, for a cripple like him, the contractor would not even be interested in looking at him, let alone spare time for it. Test whether he can do the heavy lifting of a bag with one leg dragging.
He Chun still doesn't know the past of his body. After he entered this body, he didn't get the memory of this body. Sometimes he can feel that there is something weird about this body, but he can't find anything when he wants to check it carefully. .
Half an hour before noon, Captain Liu's goods had all been loaded.Captain Liu didn't talk too much nonsense, and paid Wang Da twice the salary as agreed - this is the price for this period of time, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to hire anyone.
Wang Da gave the coolies cents according to the number of bags they carried at the old price.
A big package of three Wen, He Chun got 360 Wen.
This amount of money is already quite a lot for the coolies. Usually they move goods at the dock, and they can get a hundred and ten cash a day, which is a lot.
Many people looked at He Chun with envy, and some people showed greed in their eyes, especially the local hooligans wandering around the pier.Most of the coolies who work here are settled on a monthly basis or when they go home. Usually, the wages are placed with the foreman, and they do not get real money in their hands.
Due to the city lord's strict order, these hooligans did not dare to touch the guests at the pier, nor did they dare to touch people from the two major gangs, so they could only focus on those coolies from other places who died and no one cared about them.
And He Chun, who was lame on one leg, became one of their targets. Although He Chun didn't look thin, he was thin, but it was lean, probably because of long-term physical labor, and his muscles were tight. of.
But who told him to lame one leg and be a helpless outsider, yet he earned more than ordinary coolies.
He Chun put the copper coins into a long coarse cloth bag and wrapped it around his waist. 360 copper coins, heavy.
Dragging his legs, he randomly found a place with few people and sat down, took out half a flat dry and hard pancake from his arms, and chewed slowly one bite at a time on the water hyacinth hanging from his belt.
The flatbread was hard and dry, but very filling.
He Chun looked towards the river, Captain Liu's boat was gone, and a new cargo ship came.Another contractor rushed forward with a group of coolies.There are no passenger ships and those luxurious ships here, only cargo ships.
He Chun once imagined that Amon and Han Doudou would suddenly run down from a boat one day, and asked him with a smile if he missed them.
But he knew very well in his heart that he might not see his friends for a long time.
He Chun ate half of the pancake, put the remaining quarter back into his arms, stuffed the mouth of the gourd and put it back on his belt, then bent down to look at his right foot.
Unwrap the bandage wrapped around the ankle of the right foot and even the half of the back foot, revealing the seemingly intact injured foot inside.
Pressing the red and swollen heel, a sharp tingling sensation came, as if a thorn had grown in the bone.
This is not an illusion. There is really a thorn growing in his heel bone. When the thorn is pulled out, it will grow again, and it will grow inside the bone.
He has experience in pulling out bone spurs now, and the best time to do it is when the bone spur grows about half an inch from the heel bone. Pulling out the bone spur requires skill and some medicine. Every time the bone spur is pulled out, he The happiest and most comfortable day ever.
But once the night passed, and when the sun rose the next day, new bone spurs would start to grow in his heel bone again, and as soon as the heel hit the ground, it would make him so painful that he wanted to cut off the foot.
He suspected that the original owner of this body probably just couldn't bear the crime and committed suicide.
It only takes three days for a bone spur to grow out of the bone and puncture the skin of the foot.The last day was the most painful, when the bone spurs grew through the skin, and the heels could hardly touch the ground at all.
However, even if you use a bone scraper to scrape the newly born foot spurs, you can't stop scraping them. You can only pull them out when they pierce about half an inch out of the skin.
Wait for it to be pulled out, and grow it every other night.
Repeatedly, like a curse.
How much hatred is this against the original owner of this body?He Chun looked up to the sky and sighed, and finally realized how painful Feng Wang's pain was from being cursed all the time, he was only heel!
If I had known, he had treated that little red bird better back then.
"Work! Another ship is coming! If you want to make money, hurry up!"
He Chun heard the words, rewrapped the foot wraps, got up, and limped towards the cargo ship that had just arrived.When he earns enough money to afford the raw materials for making paper talismans, he won't have to drag his legs as a coolie anymore, I hope!
By the time work was over at night, He Chun already had a huge sum of more than 700 cash.
It's really a huge sum of money, strung together, the boss is a bunch, and it has to be worn on the shoulders, and it will sink when the belt is worn.
He Chun followed closely behind the coolies, and he had already agreed with these coolies to borrow their work sheds for a night, only five cents.
There will also be boats at night, but the wages are high at night, so he can't get his turn, and after a busy day, he also needs to take a good rest.
It's not a good idea to sleep in a shed with a coolie you don't know, especially if he has a lot of money.
But considering that he was not familiar with the place, not only would he have to pay a lot of money to live in a hotel in the city, but he also had to pay the city fee.
The most important thing is that you need an ID card to enter the city, but he doesn't have one.
He is considered a black household now, if it wasn't for the shortage of contractors and his strength, he would not have been accepted.
In fact, there are also low-level inns on the wharf that don't require identification, but during this period, let alone a common shop for a poor man like him, even the stables are full.
With the addition of several factors, he could only choose to squeeze the work shed with other coolies.At least he had observed a little bit, and the coolie who promised to share half of the bed with him seemed okay.
The coolie hut was built on the bank of the river, very close to the pier. The mud and grass-covered adobe house was low, dark, and had a mixed smell.There are some small spider webs hanging in the corners of the roof, and there are obvious rat holes on the wall.
On one side of the long adobe house against the wall, nearly twenty mats were spread on the floor.On the mat are the bedding that the coolies carried from home.
These bedding have two unifying characteristics: black and hard.
It's black, it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, it's so dirty that you can't see the original color, if you shake it, maybe a few bugs will come out.
Hard, for the same reason as above, the kapok and straw inside have dried up.
But even such bedding is a treasure. If the sheds did not belong to the River Gang, the coolies would never dare to leave their bedding in an unguarded room—the door of the shed is not locked.
He Chun didn't have any objection to this kind of shed and this kind of bedding. When he handled the case before, what crime didn't he suffer?It's cold, and there are mats under the cover, which is considered a very good treatment.
The inside of the shed was very dark, and with the afterglow of the setting sun outside, everyone found their own beds, and no one said to light candles or wash up.
The workers who had dinner at most sat on the beds of acquaintances and chatted for a while, took off their clothes and scratched the lice, and when they came back and it was completely dark outside, the last person who came in closed the drafty wooden door, Use a wooden bar to support it, and then put down the rolled up straw mat on the top of the door to block the wind, and everyone went back to their beds to sleep.
The position He Chun was assigned was not very good, and there was a gap somewhere, and the outside wind followed the gap and went straight into the house.
On the top of the wall a tiny spider hangs on a thread, dangling in the wind.
As the saying goes, the seam is as big as the needle, and the wind is as big as the bowl.He Chun was so cold that he kept shrinking into the cold quilt, but was kicked out mercilessly by the original owner of the quilt.
The other party was already asleep, and the snoring sound... Anyway, the coolies in the room were all snoring, everyone's elder brother not talking about second elder brother.The victim originally said that he would give half of the quilt to him, but he was asleep, and the other party was also afraid of the cold, so he naturally wrapped the whole quilt around himself.
He Chun couldn't stand the cold, regardless of Sanqi 21, he just grabbed a corner of the quilt, got in, clung to the coolie, and forced himself to sleep.
He didn't dare to sleep too deeply. The string of more than 700 copper coins used as a pillow was too tempting. A few ruffians on the pier followed them all the way, and finally left after seeing him enter the coolie's work shed.
In the middle of the night, someone touched him and reached out to grab his "pillow".
He Chun turned over and hugged the pillow into his arms.But this action also made him get out of that corner of the quilt, and the quilt that had just been covered with a little heat was immediately rolled up by the original owner.
Damn!This hard life, if you want to know who is harming him behind his back, he must beat the other party until he can't take care of himself!Then send him to the poorest place with the toughest folk customs to let him experience his whole life.
The person who wanted to touch He Chun's pillow waited for a while, probably knowing that he was not asleep, and left in the dark without a sound.
He Chun's tensed muscles relaxed slightly, but his right hand never let go of the stone-worn dagger stuck in his belt.
The sound of snoring in the room did not change at all, and He Chun didn't know how many people were really asleep, and how many people were not sleeping and waiting for the opportunity.
These people know each other well. The coolies in a room are probably from the same village. They dare not steal from each other, but outsiders are different. Assistant, most of them pretended not to see the matter.
The wind blowing through the gap becomes stronger.
Click, something landed on his face, very light, a little itchy.
Will this man be the king?Xiao Yuanyuan thought sadly.It tried to make a soul connection with this person, but there was no response from the other person.
But as soon as it saw this person, it felt very kind. Xiao Yuanyuan thought about it and decided to follow this person for a while.Grandpa said that it is very lucky, maybe it will be the first person to find the king.
Little Yuanyuan actually didn't know why she was separated from everyone else. That day they were still cultivating with the meteorite in their storage bag, but suddenly the storage bag was opened, and all the practicing little spiders were thrown away. come out.
Little Yuanyuan was thrown on the back of a horse and ended up here.
He Chun raised his hand and scratched his face. In the darkness, a small spider avoided his fingers and crawled into his hair along his temples.
He Chun seemed to feel something, and scratched his scalp, but he couldn't release his mental power, and he couldn't perceive it, so he couldn't tell what was crawling into his hair, only from the slight itching, he guessed it was Lice in his hair.Yes, he has lice in the hair of this body, which makes him want to shave all his hair.
Xiao Yuanyuan, who got into He Chun's hair, was very dissatisfied that there were so many other creatures wandering around in the land it fancy, even if this person is not a king, this person is mine!
You little bugs are all dead!
Crack, a louse that had just sucked blood was sucked dry, followed by a second...
The fourth watch drum sounded, and He Chun kept himself half asleep and half awake. This was his special skill, um, a special skill that was forced out.
"Bang bang!" The wooden door was suddenly smashed.
Wang Da's voice came from outside: "Get up, there is work! Five times the wages, don't regret it if you don't go!"
The snoring disappeared, hula, all the coolies in the room lifted their quilts and sat up, and someone shouted to the door: "Five times the wages, really?"
Wang was furious and scolded: "I still lied to you!"
All the coolies got up, and they didn't even make much of their bedding, and they didn't take off their clothes to go to bed. They put on their shoes and packed them up. It didn't take even 2 minutes for the whole process to open the door.
The sky outside was still dark, and He Chun vaguely remembered that the fourth watch drum had been beaten before, which meant it was less than three o'clock in the middle of the night?
He Chun got up, and tied up his hair again. During the simple combing, many corpses fell out of his hair, but he didn't pay attention.
The two people brought by Wang Da lit the torches, so there were still many people who couldn't see and could only hold hands with each other.
There are a large number of torches on the pier for lighting, so coolies are not afraid of falling into the river without seeing it.
He Chun also followed, and naturally he also took the copper coins with him. After a night of hard work, he decided to hand over the money to Wang Da for safekeeping--I believe Wang Da still doesn't like this little copper coin, but he has to pay a storage fee , quite high, 200% of the total amount.If it wasn't for the fact that he could earn five times the salary tonight, he would really be reluctant to part with the more than [-] copper coins.
Sometimes he would think darkly, the two gangs let those rogues hang around the pier just because they wanted to force the coolies from other places to hand over the money to them for safekeeping, so as to charge a high safekeeping fee, right?If true, this method is much smarter than explicit exploitation.
He Chun's body may have been well maintained before, and he did not have night blindness, so he could see better than most coolies. The place he went this time was not the previous cargo terminal, but a relatively small one.
He Chun was vigilant, but seeing that the expressions of the other coolies were basically normal, he thought that this was probably the place where they often came to work, so he lowered his vigilance a little.
Although the pier was small, it was still brightly lit. Apart from the people brought by Wang Da, there was another group of people who arrived earlier than them.
So many people quickly set to work, unloading things from the dark ship.
Wang Da ordered a dozen or so men, all of whom were relatively strong. When he said something to them, several of the dozen strong men shook their heads.
Wang Da cursed, drove those people out, and called several people over, including He Chun.
Wang Da said vaguely: "There is a coffin on the boat, you can help move it down, if you are afraid, don't go up, the coffin is expensive, and the one inside is even more expensive, so there must be nothing wrong with it."
As soon as they heard that the coffin was going to be moved and there were still corpses, some of the few people who had just been called showed signs of shrinking back.
Worried about wasting time, Wang Da glared at him and scolded, "What are you afraid of? What are there so many big men to be afraid of?"
Then Wang Da gritted his teeth again, "Those who move the coffin, as long as there is no accident, An Ansheng will move the coffin from the boat to the cart over there, and I will give each of you [-] Wen!"
Five hundred cash is paid for moving the coffin once, and there are so many people moving together, it is much more cost-effective than just moving the goods.
The workers looked at each other without saying a word, and it was considered a deal.
He Chun got on the big black boat.
He Chun soon noticed that apart from porters and cargo, there was not a single crew member on the big ship that should have been there.
But the others didn't ask, and seeing that Wang Da who was with them didn't speak, He Chun had no choice but to keep silent.He told himself, don't meddle in other people's business, just make money.
The coffin is in the main cabin, just like what Wang Da said, it is a very luxurious coffin, neither the material nor the workmanship is affordable for ordinary people.
Perhaps for the convenience of transportation, the lower part of the coffin is slightly suspended.
"Don't look! Be careful, come here and stuff the rope down." Wang Da saw that no one dared to go forward first, so he picked up a foreign persimmon and pinched it. He raised his hand, pointed at He Chun and said, "You come first." ,hurry up!"
He Chun showed a bit of reluctance, but still walked over obediently, took the rope and bent down to stuff it under the coffin.
Wang Da called another person to pull out the rope from the other side.
He Chun bent down, touched under the coffin, and touched something damp.
He subconsciously rubbed his fingers, then put them in front of his nose to avoid human eyes and sniffed.
It smells like blood, and it's relatively fresh blood.
He Chun lowered his head and looked more carefully. In the corner where he touched the blood, he touched more blood on the ground, which had gathered into a small piece.
This shows that the things in the coffin have been bleeding for a long time.
But the situation was very bad. The moment he entered the secret realm, he not only separated from his friends, but also had a little problem with his body, no, it was a big problem!
Anyone who is in He Chun's current situation will think that he has traveled through time again.
The moment he entered the secret realm, he became another person, a...
"Hurry up, everyone! Don't waste time! New ships are still waiting to enter the port, what are you dawdling about, you don't want wages, do you?" The contractor's scalp whip slapped the ground.
A row of coolies descended one by one from the bridge deck with heavy sacks on their backs. A young man in the middle, wearing worn shorts, leaned forward, carrying more sacks than the others, and walked forward step by step.
Take a step and drag your right foot.The man turned out to be a lame man.
The owner of the ship accidentally saw it and was very upset. He immediately called for the contractor, pointed at the young man and questioned him: "I paid twice the price, and you find me such a man? A cripple?"
The foreman saw clearly the person the captain was referring to, and quickly apologized with a smile: "Captain Liu, don't be angry, don't think that the lame man has bad legs, but he has great strength. The goods are much more than others. Captain Liu, you are not the first time to come to Yuncheng, and it is not the first time for me, Wang Da, to cooperate with you. When do you think I have delayed your business? If that person is not easy to use , I dare not arrange for him to come to you."
The captain surnamed Liu looked at the young man a few more times, seeing that he was indeed walking fairly steadily, and his speed was not really much slower than other coolies, and counting the sacks on his back, Captain Liu's anger subsided, But he still warned Wang Da: "This time is different than usual, we don't have much time to stay at the pier, you'd better move all the goods before noon as agreed, otherwise..."
Wang Da patted his chest, "Don't worry, Captain Liu, I will definitely load all the goods before noon! You can ask me later!"
"I'm not the only one asking, but if you delay for a while, you won't want the rest of your wages." Captain Liu returned to the cabin with a flick of his sleeves.
Wang Da bent over to watch Captain Liu respectfully, turned around after a while, all the obsequious smiles on his face disappeared, and his eyes were stern.
WTF!Isn't it just a dog from Lancui Trading Company, it was raised from a separate family.It's a pity that he didn't dare to curse the curse in his heart, so he could only vent his anger on coolies.Immediately, he untied the horsewhip around his waist, and swung it hard in the air.
"Crack!" The sound of the whip cracked in the air, and Wang Da shouted at the coolies: "Hurry up! Whoever dares to delay, don't even want to get a penny of today's wages! Hurry up!"
The coolies were not slaves and would not be whipped, but they were afraid that they would not get paid, so they were urged to speed up their pace one by one.
He Chun also wanted to hurry up, but he couldn't.His feet were not really suited for such drudgery, but he had no other means of earning money at the moment.
He changed his body, lost a leg, lost his cultivation, and had to start all over again.
He called Amon in his mind, but Amon didn't respond. He tried to enter Amon's soul sea directly, but he found that the periphery of his soul sea seemed to be covered by a layer of black oil.
In other words, his soul, his mental power, was trapped in this body.He couldn't use his mental power, let alone contact Amon.
He wanted to look inside, but he couldn't.
He wanted to use the good fortune silk, but there was no response from the navel. After a few days of experimentation, he no longer had the itchy navel and hairy silk when he got up in the morning.
Another person might go crazy in such a situation.
Fortunately, He Chun has already had time-traveling experience and has been undercover many times, so he has a good adaptability to changing identities.
Although he is equivalent to going back to before liberation, as long as his knowledge and memory are still there, he is not afraid that he will not be able to regain his strength.
The important thing is that his soul trapped reminded him of He Yici.
The body where his soul is now does not belong to him, and the soul seems to be trapped in this body by something.
So will He Yici encounter the same situation as him?
He Chun had a hunch that as long as he could solve his own problems, he could save He Yici.
Now, without a clue, he can only come a little bit.
First of all, he wanted to train his body, but after just a few days of training, his body began to suffer from a lot of necrosis and corruption. Although Amon also said that normal practice of Chaos Body Refining Technique would gradually damage the body, this rotten The speed is too fast.In particular, his soul was also a little bit torn due to the physical injury, which frightened He Chun and did not dare to continue practicing.Fortunately, his body is considered strong, and his strength is relatively strong, even if he loses a leg, he can make a living.
Secondly, he thought of the talisman, but the talisman has no cultivation support and energy infusion, so it has to rely on materials, and materials need money to buy.
For this, he needed a start-up fund, and when he woke up from this body, this body was already doing coolies, so he did it by the way.
It is said that the place where he works is called Yuncheng Wharf. During this period of time, the number of ships coming and going has increased by more than ten times than usual. Many ships choose to stop at Yuncheng Wharf to rest and enter Yuncheng to replenish supplies.
The reason why the Yuncheng Wharf is so lively is that it is the turn of the Longqi City located in the upper reaches of the Yuncheng River to hold the Dragon Breeding Festival this year.
This Dragon Cultivation Club is actually similar to recruiting apprentices from the cultivation sects in the cultivation world.

And the two sects naturally formed a competitive relationship. In the past, they often fought for outstanding disciples, and there were not many good seedlings who died because of this.
Later, the two factions probably felt that it was not an option to fight like this, so they agreed with each other to recruit disciples in a city every ten years, and whoever recruited them would be the ones, and no competition was allowed.
Of course, if it is a good seedling found beyond the ten-year period, then how to grab it or how to grab it.
In any case, because of this ten-year agreement, the struggle between the two sects for their disciples has indeed been reduced a lot, and with this ten-year agreement, in the past they had to go everywhere to find good seedlings, but now they only need to release the news and wait for the good seedlings to find them by themselves. It's fine to come to the door, even if you lose half of it, it's much better than working hard and possibly being robbed and killed.
As a result, Long Yanchi is much more stable, and ordinary people can also choose the school they want to go to with peace of mind, and just go to the place where the disciples are selected.
Afterwards, the disciple selection conference held every ten years became one of the most important events in Longyanchi, because everyone's goal was to become a real dragon, so the disciple selection conference was also called the "Dragon Cultivation Club".
It is not the first time that the people in charge of the wharf have experienced this kind of hustle and bustle. They have already summed up a set of effective management methods for special periods. Unimpeded, there will be no congestion at the terminal.
Only at this time will the coolies on the dock greatly increase. Usually, all kinds of work on the dock are monopolized by the two local gangs. If you are not a member of their gang or is allowed by them, don't even think about making a living at the dock.
He Chun took this opportunity to become one of the thousands of coolies on the pier. Normally, for a cripple like him, the contractor would not even be interested in looking at him, let alone spare time for it. Test whether he can do the heavy lifting of a bag with one leg dragging.
He Chun still doesn't know the past of his body. After he entered this body, he didn't get the memory of this body. Sometimes he can feel that there is something weird about this body, but he can't find anything when he wants to check it carefully. .
Half an hour before noon, Captain Liu's goods had all been loaded.Captain Liu didn't talk too much nonsense, and paid Wang Da twice the salary as agreed - this is the price for this period of time, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to hire anyone.
Wang Da gave the coolies cents according to the number of bags they carried at the old price.
A big package of three Wen, He Chun got 360 Wen.
This amount of money is already quite a lot for the coolies. Usually they move goods at the dock, and they can get a hundred and ten cash a day, which is a lot.
Many people looked at He Chun with envy, and some people showed greed in their eyes, especially the local hooligans wandering around the pier.Most of the coolies who work here are settled on a monthly basis or when they go home. Usually, the wages are placed with the foreman, and they do not get real money in their hands.
Due to the city lord's strict order, these hooligans did not dare to touch the guests at the pier, nor did they dare to touch people from the two major gangs, so they could only focus on those coolies from other places who died and no one cared about them.
And He Chun, who was lame on one leg, became one of their targets. Although He Chun didn't look thin, he was thin, but it was lean, probably because of long-term physical labor, and his muscles were tight. of.
But who told him to lame one leg and be a helpless outsider, yet he earned more than ordinary coolies.
He Chun put the copper coins into a long coarse cloth bag and wrapped it around his waist. 360 copper coins, heavy.
Dragging his legs, he randomly found a place with few people and sat down, took out half a flat dry and hard pancake from his arms, and chewed slowly one bite at a time on the water hyacinth hanging from his belt.
The flatbread was hard and dry, but very filling.
He Chun looked towards the river, Captain Liu's boat was gone, and a new cargo ship came.Another contractor rushed forward with a group of coolies.There are no passenger ships and those luxurious ships here, only cargo ships.
He Chun once imagined that Amon and Han Doudou would suddenly run down from a boat one day, and asked him with a smile if he missed them.
But he knew very well in his heart that he might not see his friends for a long time.
He Chun ate half of the pancake, put the remaining quarter back into his arms, stuffed the mouth of the gourd and put it back on his belt, then bent down to look at his right foot.
Unwrap the bandage wrapped around the ankle of the right foot and even the half of the back foot, revealing the seemingly intact injured foot inside.
Pressing the red and swollen heel, a sharp tingling sensation came, as if a thorn had grown in the bone.
This is not an illusion. There is really a thorn growing in his heel bone. When the thorn is pulled out, it will grow again, and it will grow inside the bone.
He has experience in pulling out bone spurs now, and the best time to do it is when the bone spur grows about half an inch from the heel bone. Pulling out the bone spur requires skill and some medicine. Every time the bone spur is pulled out, he The happiest and most comfortable day ever.
But once the night passed, and when the sun rose the next day, new bone spurs would start to grow in his heel bone again, and as soon as the heel hit the ground, it would make him so painful that he wanted to cut off the foot.
He suspected that the original owner of this body probably just couldn't bear the crime and committed suicide.
It only takes three days for a bone spur to grow out of the bone and puncture the skin of the foot.The last day was the most painful, when the bone spurs grew through the skin, and the heels could hardly touch the ground at all.
However, even if you use a bone scraper to scrape the newly born foot spurs, you can't stop scraping them. You can only pull them out when they pierce about half an inch out of the skin.
Wait for it to be pulled out, and grow it every other night.
Repeatedly, like a curse.
How much hatred is this against the original owner of this body?He Chun looked up to the sky and sighed, and finally realized how painful Feng Wang's pain was from being cursed all the time, he was only heel!
If I had known, he had treated that little red bird better back then.
"Work! Another ship is coming! If you want to make money, hurry up!"
He Chun heard the words, rewrapped the foot wraps, got up, and limped towards the cargo ship that had just arrived.When he earns enough money to afford the raw materials for making paper talismans, he won't have to drag his legs as a coolie anymore, I hope!
By the time work was over at night, He Chun already had a huge sum of more than 700 cash.
It's really a huge sum of money, strung together, the boss is a bunch, and it has to be worn on the shoulders, and it will sink when the belt is worn.
He Chun followed closely behind the coolies, and he had already agreed with these coolies to borrow their work sheds for a night, only five cents.
There will also be boats at night, but the wages are high at night, so he can't get his turn, and after a busy day, he also needs to take a good rest.
It's not a good idea to sleep in a shed with a coolie you don't know, especially if he has a lot of money.
But considering that he was not familiar with the place, not only would he have to pay a lot of money to live in a hotel in the city, but he also had to pay the city fee.
The most important thing is that you need an ID card to enter the city, but he doesn't have one.
He is considered a black household now, if it wasn't for the shortage of contractors and his strength, he would not have been accepted.
In fact, there are also low-level inns on the wharf that don't require identification, but during this period, let alone a common shop for a poor man like him, even the stables are full.
With the addition of several factors, he could only choose to squeeze the work shed with other coolies.At least he had observed a little bit, and the coolie who promised to share half of the bed with him seemed okay.
The coolie hut was built on the bank of the river, very close to the pier. The mud and grass-covered adobe house was low, dark, and had a mixed smell.There are some small spider webs hanging in the corners of the roof, and there are obvious rat holes on the wall.
On one side of the long adobe house against the wall, nearly twenty mats were spread on the floor.On the mat are the bedding that the coolies carried from home.
These bedding have two unifying characteristics: black and hard.
It's black, it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, it's so dirty that you can't see the original color, if you shake it, maybe a few bugs will come out.
Hard, for the same reason as above, the kapok and straw inside have dried up.
But even such bedding is a treasure. If the sheds did not belong to the River Gang, the coolies would never dare to leave their bedding in an unguarded room—the door of the shed is not locked.
He Chun didn't have any objection to this kind of shed and this kind of bedding. When he handled the case before, what crime didn't he suffer?It's cold, and there are mats under the cover, which is considered a very good treatment.
The inside of the shed was very dark, and with the afterglow of the setting sun outside, everyone found their own beds, and no one said to light candles or wash up.
The workers who had dinner at most sat on the beds of acquaintances and chatted for a while, took off their clothes and scratched the lice, and when they came back and it was completely dark outside, the last person who came in closed the drafty wooden door, Use a wooden bar to support it, and then put down the rolled up straw mat on the top of the door to block the wind, and everyone went back to their beds to sleep.
The position He Chun was assigned was not very good, and there was a gap somewhere, and the outside wind followed the gap and went straight into the house.
On the top of the wall a tiny spider hangs on a thread, dangling in the wind.
As the saying goes, the seam is as big as the needle, and the wind is as big as the bowl.He Chun was so cold that he kept shrinking into the cold quilt, but was kicked out mercilessly by the original owner of the quilt.
The other party was already asleep, and the snoring sound... Anyway, the coolies in the room were all snoring, everyone's elder brother not talking about second elder brother.The victim originally said that he would give half of the quilt to him, but he was asleep, and the other party was also afraid of the cold, so he naturally wrapped the whole quilt around himself.
He Chun couldn't stand the cold, regardless of Sanqi 21, he just grabbed a corner of the quilt, got in, clung to the coolie, and forced himself to sleep.
He didn't dare to sleep too deeply. The string of more than 700 copper coins used as a pillow was too tempting. A few ruffians on the pier followed them all the way, and finally left after seeing him enter the coolie's work shed.
In the middle of the night, someone touched him and reached out to grab his "pillow".
He Chun turned over and hugged the pillow into his arms.But this action also made him get out of that corner of the quilt, and the quilt that had just been covered with a little heat was immediately rolled up by the original owner.
Damn!This hard life, if you want to know who is harming him behind his back, he must beat the other party until he can't take care of himself!Then send him to the poorest place with the toughest folk customs to let him experience his whole life.
The person who wanted to touch He Chun's pillow waited for a while, probably knowing that he was not asleep, and left in the dark without a sound.
He Chun's tensed muscles relaxed slightly, but his right hand never let go of the stone-worn dagger stuck in his belt.
The sound of snoring in the room did not change at all, and He Chun didn't know how many people were really asleep, and how many people were not sleeping and waiting for the opportunity.
These people know each other well. The coolies in a room are probably from the same village. They dare not steal from each other, but outsiders are different. Assistant, most of them pretended not to see the matter.
The wind blowing through the gap becomes stronger.
Click, something landed on his face, very light, a little itchy.
Will this man be the king?Xiao Yuanyuan thought sadly.It tried to make a soul connection with this person, but there was no response from the other person.
But as soon as it saw this person, it felt very kind. Xiao Yuanyuan thought about it and decided to follow this person for a while.Grandpa said that it is very lucky, maybe it will be the first person to find the king.
Little Yuanyuan actually didn't know why she was separated from everyone else. That day they were still cultivating with the meteorite in their storage bag, but suddenly the storage bag was opened, and all the practicing little spiders were thrown away. come out.
Little Yuanyuan was thrown on the back of a horse and ended up here.
He Chun raised his hand and scratched his face. In the darkness, a small spider avoided his fingers and crawled into his hair along his temples.
He Chun seemed to feel something, and scratched his scalp, but he couldn't release his mental power, and he couldn't perceive it, so he couldn't tell what was crawling into his hair, only from the slight itching, he guessed it was Lice in his hair.Yes, he has lice in the hair of this body, which makes him want to shave all his hair.
Xiao Yuanyuan, who got into He Chun's hair, was very dissatisfied that there were so many other creatures wandering around in the land it fancy, even if this person is not a king, this person is mine!
You little bugs are all dead!
Crack, a louse that had just sucked blood was sucked dry, followed by a second...
The fourth watch drum sounded, and He Chun kept himself half asleep and half awake. This was his special skill, um, a special skill that was forced out.
"Bang bang!" The wooden door was suddenly smashed.
Wang Da's voice came from outside: "Get up, there is work! Five times the wages, don't regret it if you don't go!"
The snoring disappeared, hula, all the coolies in the room lifted their quilts and sat up, and someone shouted to the door: "Five times the wages, really?"
Wang was furious and scolded: "I still lied to you!"
All the coolies got up, and they didn't even make much of their bedding, and they didn't take off their clothes to go to bed. They put on their shoes and packed them up. It didn't take even 2 minutes for the whole process to open the door.
The sky outside was still dark, and He Chun vaguely remembered that the fourth watch drum had been beaten before, which meant it was less than three o'clock in the middle of the night?
He Chun got up, and tied up his hair again. During the simple combing, many corpses fell out of his hair, but he didn't pay attention.
The two people brought by Wang Da lit the torches, so there were still many people who couldn't see and could only hold hands with each other.
There are a large number of torches on the pier for lighting, so coolies are not afraid of falling into the river without seeing it.
He Chun also followed, and naturally he also took the copper coins with him. After a night of hard work, he decided to hand over the money to Wang Da for safekeeping--I believe Wang Da still doesn't like this little copper coin, but he has to pay a storage fee , quite high, 200% of the total amount.If it wasn't for the fact that he could earn five times the salary tonight, he would really be reluctant to part with the more than [-] copper coins.
Sometimes he would think darkly, the two gangs let those rogues hang around the pier just because they wanted to force the coolies from other places to hand over the money to them for safekeeping, so as to charge a high safekeeping fee, right?If true, this method is much smarter than explicit exploitation.
He Chun's body may have been well maintained before, and he did not have night blindness, so he could see better than most coolies. The place he went this time was not the previous cargo terminal, but a relatively small one.
He Chun was vigilant, but seeing that the expressions of the other coolies were basically normal, he thought that this was probably the place where they often came to work, so he lowered his vigilance a little.
Although the pier was small, it was still brightly lit. Apart from the people brought by Wang Da, there was another group of people who arrived earlier than them.
So many people quickly set to work, unloading things from the dark ship.
Wang Da ordered a dozen or so men, all of whom were relatively strong. When he said something to them, several of the dozen strong men shook their heads.
Wang Da cursed, drove those people out, and called several people over, including He Chun.
Wang Da said vaguely: "There is a coffin on the boat, you can help move it down, if you are afraid, don't go up, the coffin is expensive, and the one inside is even more expensive, so there must be nothing wrong with it."
As soon as they heard that the coffin was going to be moved and there were still corpses, some of the few people who had just been called showed signs of shrinking back.
Worried about wasting time, Wang Da glared at him and scolded, "What are you afraid of? What are there so many big men to be afraid of?"
Then Wang Da gritted his teeth again, "Those who move the coffin, as long as there is no accident, An Ansheng will move the coffin from the boat to the cart over there, and I will give each of you [-] Wen!"
Five hundred cash is paid for moving the coffin once, and there are so many people moving together, it is much more cost-effective than just moving the goods.
The workers looked at each other without saying a word, and it was considered a deal.
He Chun got on the big black boat.
He Chun soon noticed that apart from porters and cargo, there was not a single crew member on the big ship that should have been there.
But the others didn't ask, and seeing that Wang Da who was with them didn't speak, He Chun had no choice but to keep silent.He told himself, don't meddle in other people's business, just make money.
The coffin is in the main cabin, just like what Wang Da said, it is a very luxurious coffin, neither the material nor the workmanship is affordable for ordinary people.
Perhaps for the convenience of transportation, the lower part of the coffin is slightly suspended.
"Don't look! Be careful, come here and stuff the rope down." Wang Da saw that no one dared to go forward first, so he picked up a foreign persimmon and pinched it. He raised his hand, pointed at He Chun and said, "You come first." ,hurry up!"
He Chun showed a bit of reluctance, but still walked over obediently, took the rope and bent down to stuff it under the coffin.
Wang Da called another person to pull out the rope from the other side.
He Chun bent down, touched under the coffin, and touched something damp.
He subconsciously rubbed his fingers, then put them in front of his nose to avoid human eyes and sniffed.
It smells like blood, and it's relatively fresh blood.
He Chun lowered his head and looked more carefully. In the corner where he touched the blood, he touched more blood on the ground, which had gathered into a small piece.
This shows that the things in the coffin have been bleeding for a long time.
