Chapter 317 Murder at Sea
After hearing this, many laborers looked at me and I looked at you, and finally woke up from the shock and began to rush towards the manager.
Oh my God! One hundred copper coins a day are twice as long as they usually do! And they also care about food! As for the time spent on a lot of time to travel to the mainland, it is not the problem they consider, or even they are willing to accept it. They are not necessarily able to get jobs every day, and sometimes they are still hungry and can only drink porridge. If they can hire such a big boss for one month, it means they don’t have to go hungry for three months, and they will still have some surplus. The most important thing is that the transportation work on the boat is not very tiring. Because the cabin is humid, you need to move the cargo out of the cabin every day and move it in before the sunset. There is only one round trip every day, and you can rest in the rest of the time. When will this kind of beauty fall from the sky? No matter what, you must be picked.
When the manager saw the crowd rushing towards him like a tiger and wolf, he showed an undetectable contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth. His slightly narrowed eyes swept the dirty clothes of the labor door. He frowned and revealed an unpredictable disgust.
"Stop! Don't rob! Everyone I ordered will follow me!" The manager shouted softly. Although the voice was not loud, everyone was stunned.
This is a rare big-ticket employer that cannot be offended easily. Many laborers subconsciously stopped and were happy with the employer's decision. Everyone's face was filled with joy, especially those who were old and weak and had not been hired for a long time.
Fortunately, when the manager reached the seventh person, Chen Feng was selected. He was not very strong, but he was already tall. He looked more mature when wearing a Yuerong mask.
Although Chen Feng has never worked as a porter, this job really has no technical content. As long as he is more powerful and flexible, he can do it. Chen Feng quickly integrated into the group and talked and laughed with others. Others were looking forward to a better life of food, drink, and sleeping, while Chen Feng looked forward to coming to the mainland one day as soon as possible.
While transporting the goods, Chen Feng saw Dong Bao, Xu Hong, Xu Qing, Jiang Shan and Jiang Yuner. They walked around the dock, asking around for searching, and they saw that they were looking for Chen Feng. Chen Feng looked at them and did not show up. In the end, they searched several times and asked many people but had no results. They left in a low mood.
Goodbye, friends, see you again the next day! Chen Feng silently blessed them in his heart.
After moving the cargo onto the ship, Chen Feng's journey to the mainland began.
In the first few days, Chen Feng's days on the boat were as tasteless as the small amount of fresh water every day.
Because of the monotony, the coolie on the boat began to talk about women and gamble. Chen Feng sat cross-legged in a corner of the cabin, pretending to be dozing off, and was actually practicing.
In the evening, the sky came down. When the night was covering the sea, it finally rained heavily outside.
This was the first heavy rain that Chen Feng experienced during this trip.
The sailors on the ship suddenly became busy. The cargo ship was on the sea, and the most feared thing was the storm.
In contrast to sailors, the coolies on the boat cheered. They had just finished their work, and if it continued to rain tomorrow, they would not need to carry them. People are lazy, and the comfortable life on the boat made them feel that moving twice a day was also troublesome, and they did not think about the value of their existence on the boat.
Chen Feng was on the boat for several days and knew that the cargo ships hit some special differences on the red maple islands, such as tea, grain and some bulky ceramics. Tea and grain are needed to go outside for ventilation or drying every day.
The raindrops as big as soybeans formed huge waterfalls, sweeping across the sky and the earth with the sound of the wind. The dark sky occasionally passed by winding lightning, like fire snakes, drilling into the deep sea.
The huge waves were surging, and the thunder roared among the clouds. Standing on the shaking ship, I felt that the Thunderbolt Mother was about to tear the cargo ship apart. When the lightning disappeared, the boundless darkness filled everything, and the sound of rain was everywhere.
Chen Feng was practicing, but when the roaring thunder sounded, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He climbed out of the cabin and looked outside. A flash of lightning happened to pass by. He saw a black shadow flashing and disappearing on the boat.
"Is this?" Chen Feng only felt that the black shadow was very fast, but he couldn't guess who it was.
"Why is the light going out?"
"Who took my copper plate?"
"******, who hit me?"
For some reason, the lights in the cabin suddenly went out and it suddenly became a mess.
Without the light, the sudden rain made the boat even more "crackling", and the mast was swaying "squeaking" by the wind.
Another lightning flashed, and a figure flashed by again.
Chen Feng ignored the heavy rain and started looking around on the boat. However, the black shadow was too fast, and Chen Feng could not keep up without using his secret technique.
"Ah! It's dead!" A few screams came from the cabin, and several porters even rushed out of the cabin because of excitement.
The light had been lit. Chen Feng ran over and saw a porter who was still gambling money just now lying on the ground, covered in blood, a big hole in his chest, and his heart was dug out alive. What's even more strange is that this person was not dead yet, and he was still gasping for pain in his throat. He was raising his hand with difficulty and pointing in the direction outside the cabin.
It seems that the murderer was too fast when he killed someone, which caused the person not to die immediately.
Chen Feng touched his mouth, but he still couldn't hear what he was saying. After struggling for a few times, the man died.
"It's someone from outside." Chen Feng said to himself.
The noise here quickly attracted the attention of the guards on the boat. After a while, the manager brought a few guards to the cabin.
"What's going on?"
These porters immediately described it all over the place.
"Don't say it all. You," the manager pointed to a smart-looking person, "You are the first person to find a corpse, are you?"
"We were playing domino just now. When we were happy, the light suddenly went out. Then someone stole money and we got into chaos. Who would have thought that there was a sudden scream. When we lighted the light, we found him lying on the ground, covered in blood. But at that time he was not dead, his mouth was moving, but he could no longer speak."
The manager asked a few more questions and ordered a few guards to check around on the boat, while he stayed here with four guards.
"You guys are not allowed to move here. You are not allowed to leave the cabin until the murderer is found."
"But someone died here..." said the timid man timidly.
"You ******* why are you so much nonsense!" A guard slapped him and immediately knocked the man to the ground.
Another guard walked forward and gave the manager an expression asking for instructions. The manager nodded.
With permission, the guard carefully took out a gift bag from his arms and took out a red stone the size of a j egg. In the middle of the stone, there was a pattern that looked more like Yin Hong's eyes.
Chen Feng was idle and would read the book he bought from Guanlan City, and his knowledge also increased. Seeing this strange stone, he couldn't help but think of a strange stone mentioned in the book.
