The first day in Dark Harbor.
Tang Ling originally thought that he would have an uneasy sleep. He was in an inexplicable situation. He had to find zero urgency, hatred and enemies, and a future that was still shrouded in mist.
He needs to think, plan, and find a safe entry point among the chaos.
However, what Tang Ling didn't expect was that he slept well.
In the faint scent coming from the grass tile roof of the small building, in the pleasant clashing sounds of the conch and wind chimes in the corner of the house.
I fell asleep unconsciously, and then it was dawn.
The morning light is faint.
The sea breeze was gentle, accompanied by the sound of waves coming from far away, it was a quiet and beautiful morning.
In Tang Ling's cabin, the tranquility was broken by an unhappy child's voice: "Are you a pig? Why don't you get up yet? Do you want 'this girl' to bring breakfast to your bedside?"
The three words "this girl" are pronounced very strongly!
Tang Ling woke up suddenly with a cold sweat on his back, and subconsciously took the dagger under the pillow in his hand.
But before he could make any move, he felt a slight pain in his head.
Ding Ling hit Tang Ling on the head with a spatula, and with a flexible leap of her little body, she jumped onto Tang Ling's bed and stepped on Tang Ling's stomach without politeness.
Tang Ling groaned.
"Are you going to kill me?" Similarly, the word "me" is still very emphatic.
Tang Ling had already reacted, let go of the dagger in his hand, and opened his sleepy eyes. What he saw was an angry dumpling holding a spatula, pouting, and akimbo.
"Get up and eat quickly. If you don't come out in ten minutes, I will give your meal to Monty." Dingling pointed at Tang Ling with a chubby finger, and emphasized the three words "this girl" again, and then started from Tang Ling. Ling's stomach jumped, and of course he didn't forget to step on it very hard.
'Hmm' Tang Ling let out another low cry. He was stepped on twice by Ding Ling and wanted to pee.
Without further delay, Tang Ling rolled over and climbed out of bed, rushed into the toilet of the hut, and while peeing, the words "this girl" were all in his ears.
"Are you so vindictive?" A smile appeared on the corner of Tang Ling's mouth. Ding Ling and Ding Dong looked exactly the same, but he knew that it was definitely Ding Ling who stepped on him today.
From Boss Huang's words, we can tell that Ding Ling holds the cooking tools and Ding Dong holds the cleaning tools.
What if you don’t take the tools? Then Tang Ling probably had no choice but to be blinded.
After finishing washing up in the morning, Tang Ling moved his body a little. He decided to have a battle of wits and courage with Boss Huang later, and he must be in good spirits.
In fact, he slept well last night, so good that Tang Ling began to wonder if Boss Huang had done something to make him sleep so addictively
You know, for so long, Tang Ling's sleep has been in a tense state. If there is any slight disturbance, he will wake up immediately. How could someone stand beside the bed and not notice it
Of course, the benefit of such sleep is that you feel extremely full of energy. If you eat more, you will be in better condition.
When he thought of eating, he naturally thought of breakfast. When he thought of breakfast, a trace of confusion appeared on Tang Ling's face. What is Monty? Why did he give Monty his breakfast
There are five floors in Ai Chi Tower.
The first floor is divided into two parts, the front part is the sales hall, and the back part is the blacksmithing room. Tang Ling has never visited it, but only mentioned it casually when Dingdong took him upstairs yesterday.
As for the second floor, there are Boss Huang's living room, dining room, and two utility rooms. Now one utility room has been converted into a 'servant's room', which is the small cabin where Tang Ling lives.
A servant's room should be a servant's room. It doesn't cost anything anyway. As long as it doesn't cost money, Tang Ling doesn't care even if it's called Hu Shi Boar's Nest.
In fact, Tang Ling was so willing to go with Boss Huang because of this idea. The cost of staying in the Dark Port was too high and he was a 'big spender'.
Since Boss Huang insists on working for him, fine, just live and eat at his place for free.
Tang Ling hadn't thought about remuneration or anything like that. Anyway, it was already a huge expense to be able to afford him food, drink, and housing.
If not? It doesn't matter, I don't have the strength, how can I work? There's nothing you can do if you're going to starve to death, right
It's impossible for Boss Huang to kill him, right? Tang Ling didn't sense any truly hostile malice from Boss Huang!
Besides, if you beat him to death, who will pay him back
Therefore, Tang Ling left nothing for himself and asked Luo Xin to sell all the ferocious beast meat. This was his plan.
How could Tang Ling be willing to suffer a loss? Anyway, if Boss Huang can't stand himself, that's better, then wouldn't he be free
No matter how you calculate it, this business is very worthwhile! The only thing he was worried about was his freedom, but in fact it wasn't a problem. As long as he had an hour or two of his own time every day, Tang Ling could go inquiring about information, look for Ling, and also find the Luo brothers and sisters.
If not? Tang Ling has never been afraid of anyone! Who wouldn’t pretend to have a headache and a sore butt
I have no money and I have no shame. Tang Ling decided to use this code of conduct to do things in Boss Huang's place.
Starting from today's breakfast, Tang Ling began to implement the plan and start the battle of wits and courage.
After passing through the living room, which was also decorated with logs and various seafood, with the same rough but exquisite style, and some elegance, we came to the dining room.
In the dining room, there is a huge coral table. I don't know if it is because of the Purple Moon Era that red corals have become less rare. The entire coral table is actually filled with gorgeous red corals.
The chairs next to the table are several large, open shells.
However, there is a soft-looking seaweed mat placed in the shell, which makes people want to sit down.
Boss Huang's hair was messy and blown out, and he looked bleary-eyed and didn't wake up at all.
He was almost half-lying beside the coral table, in the largest shell chair, holding a pipe in his mouth, nodding his head from time to time, then suddenly lifting it up, opening his eyes, and continuing.
He was simply dozing off.
"Sit there, girl." This time, it was Dingdong who stood up with a bulging belly and ordered Tang Ling in the same unhappy tone.
Of course, the three words "my girl" are indispensable.
Of course Tang Ling recognized Dingdong immediately because there was a broom next to her.
Without saying anything, Tang Ling coughed and sat down.
He glanced at the food on the table. It was very simple, a basket of black steamed buns and a large pot of green juice. He didn't know what kind of juice it was.
Then a plate was placed in front of everyone, with a piece of fish, a face-sized omelette and side dishes mixed with condiments.
"Haha." Tang Ling sneered in his heart. The food on the whole table was not enough for him to eat alone. Well, to be precise, it was impossible to even eat half full!
At this time, he and Boss Huang begin to negotiate terms. He will show off his eating skills later and give Boss Huang a blow first!
With a 'dong', Dingdong casually hit Boss Huang's head with the broom. Boss Huang, who was still dozing, suddenly woke up, but the pipe fell from his mouth and the corners of his mouth were elongated. A trace of saliva is unbearable to look at.
Boss Huang didn't care, he casually picked up the pipe, held it in his mouth again, coughed, and said seriously: "Tang Ling, you are new here, you must understand the first rule of the Chichi Building, which is Don’t waste food. There are two steamed buns with deviled fish sauce in the basket and one cup of green radish and seaweed juice in the basket. Well, you have to finish them too, do you understand
Tang Ling said very sincerely and seriously: "You must obey the boss's instructions and you will not waste food."
"Besides, I owe the boss money and I feel very uneasy. I am full of energy now and want to immediately join in the hot work and work sincerely for the boss. But" Tang Ling lowered his head in embarrassment. Some of the honest ones scratched their heads.
"Huh?" Boss Huang absent-mindedly took the two steamed buns that Ding Ling brought to him and put them on the plate. He also took the seaweed juice that made Tang Ling lose his appetite at the first sight and waited for Tang Ling. of the following.
"It's just that I can eat very well! This has been a disease of mine since I was a child, and there's nothing I can do about it." Tang Ling's eyes were filled with sincerity.
"Then what?" Boss Huang tore off a small piece of steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth without looking like he cared much.
At this time, Ding Ling also handed Tang Ling two steamed buns and a glass of seaweed juice. Tang Ling took it enthusiastically and said, "Hey, I can't do anything unless I'm full. I have to give it first Report to the boss."
"Yes, I'm very sincere. Then you can eat first. If you don't have enough, the steamed buns in the basket are yours, and you can drink up the rest of the seaweed juice." Boss Huang is also very sincere.
"What if it's not enough?" Tang Ling's eyes burned.
Ding Ling and Ding Dong looked at Tang Ling with strange eyes.
Tang Ling felt a little proud. Does this scare you? Would you be scared to death if I showed the strength of a Husky wild boar
"Not enough?" Boss Huang also had a puzzling look on his face. Then he lowered his head and took a sip of seaweed juice, with a suppressed smile on his lips.
So scared? Tang Ling raised his eyebrows, he was really stingy, didn't he just have a little food? Is it worth covering up the tears with laughter
Boss Huang stopped answering. He just coughed several times before saying, "Eat, just remember not to waste it! The consequences of waste are serious."
"Let's eat!"
When Boss Huang said this, Ding Ling and Ding Dong immediately stood on the shell chairs and started eating.
As for Tang Ling, he knew that this was the time for him to start performing, and he had to take action to calm the crowd.
So, Tang Ling grabbed a messy black steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth in one bite. Then he picked up the unappetizing glass of seaweed juice and drank half of it.
Even Tang Ling himself didn't notice the Husky Wild Boar's show time. He actually started to call himself the Husky Wild Boar.
