Han Li set off from his hometown, headed southeast, and headed straight for Lanzhou.
On the way, he sometimes partnered with others and crossed the downtown area together, but also walked alone in the wilderness because he wanted to take a shortcut. On the way, there wasn't any major danger. The only accident was when we were camping in the wild somewhere, and encountered a few hungry and red-eyed wild wolves, which turned out to be Han Li's dinner.
Along the way, he traveled through many other states in succession, and finally came to Lanzhou with great painstaking efforts.
As soon as he entered the boundary of Lanzhou, Han Li was greatly surprised by the waterways extending in all directions. You know, most of the Yuezhou where he was originally located were barren mountains and wild mountains, mostly hilly and mountainous areas. Not to mention canals and large lakes, there were not many decent small rivers, and most of the drinking water depended on wells and streams.
Therefore, Han Li was very interested in all kinds of boats passing through the waterway. In the end, driven by curiosity, he still chartered this small boat and tasted the taste of going down the river for the first time.
As a result, more than ten days later, Han Li arrived at Jiayuan City mentioned in Doctor Mo's letter, and stepped on this unremarkable pier.
Han Li's first glance at this pier was that it was too bad.
The entire pier is made of simple wooden boards. Not only is the place small and crude, but there are rotten baskets and bags piled up everywhere in the east and west corners, making it extremely messy. And in the only two bamboo sheds built on the pier, there are dozens of strong and strong men standing on each side. These men are either shirtless or only wearing a short jacket, all of which reveal a sturdy atmosphere.
Now these men were all watching him and Qu Hun without blinking, and some of them had eager eyes in their eyes.
Han Li was stunned for a moment, but then smiled slightly.
Before leaving the small boat to go to the pier, the boatman who operated the boat warmly reminded him that there is an unwritten rule at the pier in Jiayuan City, no matter how much goods the merchants bring ashore, they must pay to hire someone from the pier. A coolie helped to carry things. If not, these coolie porters would be treated badly, and they might even be beaten severely.
When Han Li first arrived here, he didn't intend to break other people's rules, so he greeted honestly: "I want to hire a porter, is there anyone here?"
At this moment, Sun Ergou had withdrawn his gaze. After some inspection just now, he had decided in his heart that the young man who had just disembarked was probably the young master of a certain rich man's family, and that giant man must be a somewhat clumsy bodyguard. There are many such combinations in Jiayuan City every year. They come here to open their eyes, spend a little money, and then go back to show off, so there is nothing to care about.
But this kind of people also like to slap their faces to pretend to be fat, and they are not badly taken advantage of! As long as you compliment them a little bit, in addition to paying the agreed moving money, these country bumpkins will usually give a lot of extra rewards. So for the individuals who are hired, it is still a lucrative business.
However, this time the business is not their turn. Because according to the agreement he and Hei Xiong made in advance, the two parties take turns to receive the door-to-door sales, and no one is allowed to compete. This time, it was time for the person opposite the black bear to pick it up.
Thinking of this, Sun Ergou glanced at the opposite side, and saw Hei Xiong whispering something to his subordinates around him, and then a man happily ran out of the crowd and rushed towards the young man.
"No, you can't move it by yourself. It's better to call another person." Han Li looked at the very strong man in front of him, then at the oversized package on Quhun, and shook his head lightly.
"Young master, I can pick up such a small thing with one hand, so I don't need to find someone else." The man didn't want others to share his bounty, and he didn't think that the package was bigger even if it was bigger. I won't be able to move it by myself, unless it is full of stones.
After speaking, the man walked up to Qu Hun, and he couldn't help but say that he was going to grab the package.
Han Li sighed. There are thousands of taels of silver in this package, as well as other miscellaneous things. The weight is really not light, and it is not something ordinary people can bear.
But seeing that this person was so enthusiastic, he had no choice but to secretly ask Qu Hun to hand over the package to this person, not to compete with him.
Sure enough, as soon as the strong man took the big bag, his complexion changed drastically. He carried his back on his back and didn't take a few steps before he was already flushed and out of breath. He had no choice but to put down the bag in shame, and went back to call another person.
Seeing that the two men were finally able to lift the package, Han Li nodded in satisfaction, left the pier quickly, and walked towards the city along the road.
Han Li didn't know that because of his inexperience in the world, two pairs of greedy eyes stared at him, and he was about to get into some trouble that he shouldn't have.
Sun Ergou looked at the back of the young man gradually going away, and finally withdrew his salivating eyes. He suppressed the surprise in his heart, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the opposite black bear. He knew very well that the huge wealth hidden in the package would definitely not be hidden from the other party's eyes.
Sure enough, Hei Xiong was also pleasantly surprised. After hesitating for a while, he still winked at Sun Ergou. Sun Ergou immediately understood and walked with him to a nearby garbage dump. Before such a large sum of money, even if he had the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife, Sun Ergou would cooperate with the other party. After all, "people die for money, birds die for food."
"Fifty-five split!" Sun Ergou went straight to the point in a low voice.
"Thirty to seven points, this is our business." Hei Xiong refused politely.
"Four or six points, no less. You should know that the reason you just said is totally untenable." Sun Ergou said with a sullen face and hit the nail on the head.
"This..." the black bear hesitated, obviously still reluctant to give up this profit.
"Hmph! If you think about it for a while, I'm afraid people from other gangs will focus on this fat sheep." After snorting, Sun Ergou said coldly.
"Okay! That's it. Let's swear by high-five." Hei Xiong was obviously touched by these words, and finally agreed.
"Crack", "crack", "crack" Sun Ergou and Hei Xiong spat on each other's hands, then slapped each other three times, temporarily forming a covenant.
"Okay, let's catch up with each other quickly, don't let this kid run into a crowded place." Sun Ergou hurriedly urged.
"Hey! Don't worry, I asked those two subordinates to take them away from Blackwater Lane. Go there now, just to stop them." Hei Xiong suddenly showed a sinister smile that didn't match his appearance.
"That's great, what a scheming brother!" Sun Ergou showed surprise on the surface, but his heart trembled, and he secretly increased his guard against the black bear.
