Chapter 15
Chapter 15
Although the wharf cannot be compared with that in the capital, there are quite a few ships.From a distance, the newly salvaged seafood is being weighed.It turned out that the fishermen sent the fish they caught here.Excessive weighing, money and goods are cleared.Some of the sea cargo piled up like a mountain were resisted to the long-awaited ship, ready to be transported to the inland along the river; some were loaded into the long-awaited carriage, apparently to be sent to the nearest city.
Thinking back to the past, the fresh sea fish that I ate worth thousands of gold, now it seems that it will take nearly two months to send it to the capital, and it is necessary to ensure that the fish will not die. Perhaps, it is not so easy.
Under the sun, the men were sweating, but they didn't stop.He was a little puzzled, the fish in a boat, wouldn't it stink when it arrived at the destination?Or, is there something amazing on board that will keep the fish from rotting?
"Brother Zhang, this is my brother, Shen Siyuan. He wants to work here."
Daniel pushed the young man lightly, causing him to stagger.
Siyuan: "..." Please be gentle
Zhang Mang was taken aback when he heard Daniel's introduction.At first glance, these two people are not brothers, no matter in terms of body or appearance.This teenager with scars on his face, or young man, is not tall and very thin.His skin is fair, and he doesn't look like those fishermen's children who have been exposed to the sun.If you really want to say it, you are whiter than the women in the town.Besides, the scar on this face looks like it was scratched by a sharp weapon.
The identity of this person should not be that simple.Letting him work here may cause him unnecessary trouble.
"Haha, Daniel, are you teasing Brother Zhang? He is so small that he can't carry half a bag. It's not that Brother Zhang doesn't give you face, it really can't be used."
Zhang Mang patted Daniel on the shoulder. He wanted Daniel to know that it wasn't that he didn't want to use it, but that the boy's body was not suitable for this job.
After hearing this, Daniel was a little frustrated.In fact, when grandma proposed to let Siyuan come to work yesterday, he felt that it was not advisable.Shen Siyuan's small body is too fragile, how could he move.
Although Daniel looked depressed, Shen Siyuan was not affected by Zhang Mang's words at all.When Daniel talked about this, he knew that he was not suitable for this job.But he still followed and proved that he was right to come.
There are ships here, although few go to the capital, but he might meet them someday.At that time, as long as you find a way to get on the boat and arrive in the capital... those people will suffer.
So, what he wants to do now is just - stay!
"Brother Zhang, although I'm small, I'm clever. I may not be as good as those big brothers in carrying bags, but it's still okay for me to run errands, give something or something! It doesn't matter if you give me less money, I will always be useful." place, right?"
There are many ships coming and going here, so there must be more news.He doesn't mind how much money the foreman gives him, the key is whether he can get what he wants here.
Thinking of this, Shen Siyuan showed a flattering smile for the first time, but it was a bit scary on this weird face.
"That's right!" Daniu nodded accordingly, he felt that Shen Yuan could really speak.
"Tsk tsk..." Zhang Mang looked at the boy
"It's so ugly" and I added another sentence in my heart, so beautiful.The mixture of the two extremes gave him an indescribable feeling.This half of the face is as beautiful as a flower, but the other half of the face looks like a centipede lying on its back. When people take one look, they don't want to take a second look.
"Can you read?" Zhang Mang asked
Shen Siyuan opened his mouth, suddenly changed his mind, and said with a smile:
"I don't know, I never went to school."
In Siyuan's heart, he was not as cheerful as he appeared on the surface. He had just seen a worker doing bookkeeping, but he didn't think Zhang Mang would let him do that.
After hearing this, Zhang Mang looked at the young man carefully.It was a bit unexpected for him to be illiterate.
"What do you do at home?"
The expression on Shen Siyuan's face did not change, but there was a little more sadness and hatred in his eyes.
"The house is a shop"
Zhang Mang saw the young man's expression, hey, why is there a story in it?
"Opening a shop, that's very powerful." Besides, if a young man runs a shop at home, will he be illiterate?The children of those shopkeepers in the town have gone to school anyway.
The boy lowered his head, but his neck was tense.The sound lost the vitality just now:
"Ah, because my mother died early, my father seems to like the younger brother born by the stepmother more."
Listening to the different versions of life experience in Shen Siyuan's mouth, Daniu not only did not doubt, but made up his mind.The stepmother treated the stepson harshly, so the stepson ran away from home.Encountered a sea storm, luckily survived.
Zhang Mang frowned, looking at the young man in front of him.What you said just now doesn't sound like a lie, especially the last sentence, the boy said it with a bit of gnashing of teeth.But, his place is not a shelter.The boy's body is really not suitable for carrying bags. Even if he doesn't want money, he doesn't want this kind of person.If he was crushed to death by the cargo, wouldn't it be his fault?Even if you run errands, you may not be able to keep up with Daniel.
"You can also see that I don't have any work that you can do here. It's not that I won't keep you, you really can't do it. Let you have a meal here today, and go back with Daniel at night."
What Zhang Mang said made Daniel droop his head.He looked at Shen Siyuan with his head down, and then at the resolute foreman.What else could Siyuan do, otherwise he would pay Siyuan to repair the roof, and then Siyuan would go to the beach every day to pick up those small objects and sell them for money.Although not much, it is still possible to support yourself.
Shen Siyuan took a deep breath, Grandma is such a bear, Grandpa is so submissive, and still won't let her stay.The young man rubbed his thumb and forefinger fiercely, he couldn't hold it back, and covered his right eye, the wound that was obviously healed, but now he felt a throbbing pain.
Half of his face was covered by palms.He heard Daniel's gasp and opened his eyes in doubt, and saw Daniel with a look of astonishment, and Zhang Mang with meaningful eyes.
"Okay! Then stay!"
The man who was firm in saying that he was not needed just now backtracked.Zhang Mang left these two people behind, turned around and walked away, his back seemed to be running away.
"Hey, Brother Niu, what's the matter with you?" Shen Siyuan looked at the tangled-up Daniel, a little confused about the situation.He was left behind, why did this guy look like he couldn't shit.
The called Daniel came back to his senses, and stammered: "No! No, I'm going to work!" Daniel ran away in a hurry, muttering in his heart, why do you think Siyuan is better than the oriole in the village? nice?Thinking of this, Brother Niu was in a cold sweat in Daxia. How could he describe a man like him as good-looking?
Shen Siyuan stood in front of the chopping board, still a little unclear about the current situation.He was assigned to the kitchen... as a cook, he grew up so big, he never knew what the kitchen looked like, holding a kitchen knife and staring at the carrots in a daze.
Zhang Mang said that his money was settled every day, 3 copper coins a day, and he had a meal at noon.Hearing the salaries of these three companions, he couldn't help grinding his teeth.three?Why not just say no?
"Why are you in a daze! Hurry up, I've cut up a basket of radishes!"
The fat cook was a little dissatisfied when he saw that the thin boy was lazy when he first arrived.He hit the boy on the head with a spoon and roared angrily.
Shen Siyuan was almost thrown into the pot by this force, and he didn't dare to be lazy, he chopped the white and fat radish randomly.Suddenly, there was a sound of wind in his ears, and with a bang, he felt his head buzzing.
"Be gentle with me, if the chopping board is broken, I will deduct your money!"
The fat cook said fiercely, then turned his head and continued cooking.This young man still needs to be tempered, let him go outside to chop wood later!
Shen Siyuan, who was hit with a spoon, dared not say a word of nonsense.There is no way, Zhang Mang said, if the cook is dissatisfied and wants to drive him away, the job will be ruined.
And there's nothing wrong with being a little cook.Life is relatively easy, and you don't have to be busy from morning to night, so you have more time to inquire about news.
The messy cut radishes were poured into the pot, with a sizzling sound, the hot oil was in close contact with the radishes.The spoon that had just hit his head was now frying salted radish and fish.
Shen Siyuan felt embarrassed, he thought this cook was too careless.
Under the curse of the chef, Shen Siyuan poured the meat in.
"Whatever you cut, a dog can eat it better than you! Next time you cut it like this, you can get out!"
Humming a ditty, the cook held a spoon with a big head, belittled Shen Siyuan, and casually stirred the radishes in the pot.
Siyuan bowed his head and said yes, but he thought in his heart that as long as it is cooked, can it be that if a flower is carved, the radish can still taste like swan meat?Could it be possible to conjure up a new trick when it reaches the stomach?
……
In the evening, the bustling pier fell silent.Shen Siyuan held the three companions in his hand, rubbed his painful arm, his eyes were a little sore.Money, money, if you work here, when will you be able to save money?This is really the Year of the Monkey!
After rejecting Daniu Rang's invitation to eat at his house, Shen Siyuan walked towards his small house without a roof.Daniel said that straw was very cheap, and after a few days of work, he could build a roof.At that time, Daniel will rest for a day and help him put up the roof, so there is no need to be afraid of going down.
However, God is not beautiful.Shen Siyuan, who was asleep, was awakened by the raindrops falling on his face.There is no sign of rain at all, and my heart is cold.
The dry goods piled up in the house were all soaked by fish.Shen Siyuan wiped the rainwater off his face, wanting to cry but no tears.Come on, let's go to Da Niu's house for a while!
Carrying a small amount of dry goods (wet goods?), Shen Si walked under the rain of the night.It seems that the roof is imminent.
I don't know if it's because of being used to harsh treatment these days, Shen Siyuan, who was drenched in the rain all the way, got up from Daniel's bed alive and kicking the next morning.
However, the rain outside did not stop.Rain means no work.No job means no free lunch.The dry goods sent by the villagers are now hanging on Daniu's table, and the room smells like salted fish.
Fortunately, rainy days are cool.Shen Siyuan thought, first borrow some money from Daniel and build the roof.Like knocking on the door at night and scaring Daniel, he never wants to experience it for the third time.The rain didn't stop till late in the evening.Daniu refused Siyuan's request to go to the town together (Siyuan walked too slowly), and went to buy straw alone.Shen Siyuan waited for nearly an hour, when the night sky was full of stars, Daniel came back.Under the moonlight, seeing a huge black ball from a distance, Shen Siyuan's eyelids trembled, what is it?
The black ball moved very slowly, between danger and curiosity, Shen Siyuan walked forward.Then he exhaled, it was Daniel.Daniel was carrying a large bundle of straw that was as tall as his own.The straw was tied very tightly, and Shen Siyuan touched it with his hands, and it was very dry.Looking at Daniel again, the clothes on his body are all wet, and one of the shoes on his feet is missing. That toe is now greeting him.
Shen Siyuan moved his mouth: "Brother Niu, why have you been away for so long?"
Daniel found a relatively not so wet place, put down the straw, wiped his sweat, and said naively:
"I heard that the straw in the west of the city is cheap, so I went there to have a look. You see, it's enough for your roof, and I can even weave a straw mat for you! I can weave it!"
The straw in the west of the city is cheap, and the same money can weave one more mat for Siyuan.Although the journey was a little farther, it was still a one-way retreat, so Daniel went to the west of the city.
"What's the matter with you?" Under the moonlight, Daniu asked Shen Siyuan, looking at his unhappy face.The boy looked at him so bluntly for a long time, and then asked a very strange question.
"Brother Niu, what do you want to do most?"
Daniel scratched his head, what do you want to do most?He said seriously: "Hurry up and put up the roof, and then sleep well, don't delay going to work tomorrow."
Siyuan: "..." I mean...what do you want to do.Forget it, Shen Siyuan shook his head, turned around and moved the ladder borrowed from the village.He originally thought that if Daniel had any lofty ideals, maybe he could help realize them.Such as becoming rich, such as becoming an official, such as other things and so on.Anyway, he is also the second son of the prime minister's family. Although he is a bastard, he is the only one.If there is a chance to return to the capital, no matter what, he will never forget Daniel's kindness to him.
Later, Daniel told Shen Siyuan that what he wanted to do most was to marry Huang Li, so he kept saving money and working hard.
Shen Siyuan thought about the daily wages that Daniel received, and then thought about Huang Li, whose heart was higher than the sky, and silently closed his mouth.That kind of restless woman is not something Daniel can subdue.
When the house was built, the sun was already above the sea.Daniu's desire to hurry up and go to sleep was fulfilled reluctantly, because at this time he was lying on a pile of straw, soundly asleep.Mats, of course, cannot be weaved, and there is not enough time, and I am afraid that I will have to wait until tomorrow to start work.
Shen Siyuan, who hadn't rested all night, walked on the beach in the morning light to pick up the small seafood exposed after the low tide.Small crabs, small shells, and some unknown sea creatures that look like they can be sold for money.
A bucket full of fresh seafood was sent to Grandma Niu's house, and Shen Siyuan returned it.
I wanted to make it myself, but there was no pot, no firewood, and nothing to start the fire. Eating it raw would cause diarrhea, so I gave up.
Lying on the thatch, looking at the roof, Shen Siyuan's mood was unexpectedly good.
For some reason, Shen Siyuan felt that sleeping on a pile of weeds was more comfortable than sleeping on the cold jade bed.
In the next few days, Shen Siyuan continued to make jokes at the pier, dawdling around, inquiring about the news from the few big towns, as for the news from the capital, there was almost no news.
He didn't see a ship whose destination was the capital, or a larger city.
Shen Siyuan sighed, this place is still too small.
……
The red and blue lights were flickering, and in the quiet laboratory, several good-looking robots were working in an orderly manner.
They have smiles on their faces and bright eyes. If it weren't for the occasional flashes of green light in their eyes, no one would notice the difference between them and humans.
Among them, there is a robot that is different from the others. R1 is stepping into the spherical aircraft with a serious face. This is the first mission arranged by his father since his birth.
His creator is the most famous Dr. T in this galaxy, a scientific researcher with a weird temper. There are many robots made by Dr. T, but R1 knows that he is the most unique one so far.
But at present, the doctor has arranged a difficult task for him.
Enter the aircraft and travel through time and space to find energy spars.Energy spar, he knew.It is the one inlaid on his chest at present.
This is the only energy spar in the galaxy, which contains huge energy.The doctor did not know how to link the spar with his energy system.
The doctor told him that this is a secret, if it is known by others, it will cause a lot of trouble.
Unlike other robots, he needs to be recharged.Since his birth, the energy is eternal, because the energy of the energy spar is enough for him to survive for tens of thousands of years, or even more.
Father endowed him with a digestive system, his alimentary canal, which can break down most substances and convert them into energy.
Although he has nearly eternal energy, he doesn't think this system is redundant.
Because he can eat with father, he feels that father is too lonely.
No one knows how old Dr. T is, the enhancement of genes that lead to the extension of human lifespan.
However, it seems that Dr. T has been active in this galaxy since there were robots.
The long years and the historical gap caused by several large-scale wars made this doctor even more mysterious.
A mysterious figure, a figure that even the military is afraid of, the originator of all intelligence, a legendary...a terrifying monster who is said to be immortal.
Father is not a monster, maybe, he is also a robot.
Because the work that father asked him to do is always different from other robots.
Dr. T opened R1's chest cavity and put a blue chip in it.At the moment of entry, the chip is connected to the memory bank of R1. R1 doesn't know the purpose of this chip, but the doctor said:
"R1, remember, your chip is your most important thing. With the chip, you are immortal."
eternal life?For robots, it is a word that is both unfamiliar and familiar.Is he alive?
The author has something to say:
When R1 comes out, I really want to cut off all the previous 14 chapters; Archangels who have read it, remember to bookmark them!Tiger touches you! ! !
