Half fairy

Chapter 175
From the corner of Meng Wei's eyes, he observed the reactions of the three of Yu Qing, pointed at the man and said, "So you can only do hard work in this life! Everyone will go to see Yuanshan in the next few days. Those who can read and write don't need to carry the burden. Just grow a few pairs of eyes and help the team bet.

You can also be regarded as a team leader. When you see a warning, you must be able to remind everyone in time. You can’t be illiterate and violate the rules of the mountain. After all, we can’t take you everywhere.Just two or three, yes? "

As soon as he heard that he could go into the mountain as usual, he didn't have to carry the burden, and he could be the leader of the team, which meant he had more space for activities. Yu Qing was the first to erupt, nodding and bowing forward, saying: "My lord, the younger one will know how to do it." a little."

know a little?Meng Wei frowned slightly, turned around, pointed at the table, "Then try it."

"Hey." Yu Qing trotted behind the table, looked at the things on the table, and asked, "How to try?"

Meng Wei pointed to a book on the table, "I don't expect you to have any knowledge. If you have that ability, you don't need to do this job. If you can make do with it, you can just turn a page or find a paragraph and copy it. You can see it at a glance."

It was really simple, Yu Qing responded, and immediately opened the pages of the book, then dipped the pen in the ink, put the pen down, and copied a paragraph, only a few dozen words, and finished it in a few strokes, then put down the pen and reported: "My lord! , do you think it will work?"

After Meng Wei motioned him to write his name, he took a look at it, and said humbly: "It's okay, not bad, I can read some words at first glance. That's okay, wait for the assignment."

"Hey." Yu Qing walked back.

Seeing that it was so simple, several of them shouted and wanted to try it, even Nanzhu and Mu Aotie waved their hands.

Yu Qing didn't take it seriously, and didn't regard these people as competitors at all. What kind of bird can a group of coolies write?He still has some confidence in his writing, as long as the people in charge here are not blind, he should be able to see who is better.

After a while, including those who could crooked their strokes to make up characters, Meng Wei signaled everyone to break up first and wait for arrangements.

After everyone left the warehouse, Meng Wei quickly folded Yu Qing's words and stuffed them into his sleeves, then left quickly and went straight to the upstairs room.

When he found You Lingluo, he took out the calligraphy and presented it.

You Lingluo saw it in his hand, and after just one glance, he couldn't help laughing, "It's the same as the charm on the test paper, it really is that guy. This guy is rampant enough to bully no one here, and his handwriting is not concealed at all." of."

Meng Wei smiled wryly, "It's really hard to find anywhere, and it doesn't take much effort to get it." After confirming it, it obviously gave him some headaches.

"This guy is just making fun of himself. He's really looking for trouble." You Lingluo also pinched his forehead, and finally snorted, "Since he likes to act, let him act to his heart's content. There are still a few days left, don't let him He is idle, starting tomorrow, let him live his physical life to the fullest."

Meng Wei hesitated, "Sir, is this appropriate?"

You Lingluo: "They themselves are blind, do they think others are blind too? Do they think that they wear rags like a porter? That big fat man is like a wealthy landowner. It's okay to fool ordinary people. If you are a well-informed person who is careful to guard against Can you pass an eye in front of people? Give them a layer of starch."

Meng Wei covered his forehead with his hands and smiled.

As a result, a group of people who were hired temporarily dispersed, allowing them to officially come to work early tomorrow morning.

The three brothers and sisters looked for a place to stay again, but they all became coolies, and it was not suitable to stay in a hotel again, which was easy to make people suspicious.

The three of them wandered around the county, found an old house and rented it, which was cheaper.

The next day, the three of them came to work at the shipyard. The steward who dispatched them saw the three of them, and immediately said to the foreman beside him, "It's just right, there are three here, you can take them with you."

The foreman immediately greeted the three of them, "Follow me."

The three of them looked at each other, and Yu Qing couldn't help but ask the steward, "Where are the others?"

The steward: "Where is there so much nonsense? I can still be idle after I come here. Naturally, I have to go to work."

The three of them were speechless, so they had to follow the foreman and were taken directly to the pier outside the city.

Several large boats were parked at the pier, and the boatman of one of them was rolling the rain cloth, revealing neatly stacked jumbo sacks filled with beans.

The foreman brought the three of them into the boat and told them what to do. First unload a large boat of sacks and pile them on the open space, and then load the pile of stones next to the boat. The work must be finished before dark today.

"It's just the three of us for such a big boat?" Nan Zhu asked in surprise.

Foreman: "I don't think you look like a worker. Who recruited you? That's all the work. If you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, get out and replace it. Don't delay the matter."

"Capable, capable." Yu Qing hurriedly interjected to smooth things over.

The foreman walked away.

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, what else could they do? In order to keep their jobs in the mountains, they had to work.

However, they had never done this kind of work of loading and unloading a ship, so they had to consult a well-informed boatman. Finally, a springboard was set up, and the three brothers and sisters began to carry sacks from the boat to the boat.

This trip is called a toss.

After working until noon, the ship was finally unloaded, and those who worked with other ships found a place to make lunch.

When I came back, it was time to suffer. Loading stones into a ship was more tiring than unloading sacks. The sun was shining in the sky, and the three of them pushed the wheelbarrow loaded with stones and rushed to the diving board time after time. , It’s hard to steam a layer of oil, and it’s quite hard-working.

"Didn't it mean that those who can read and write don't need to do physical work? Even if the two of us can't do it, can't you write well, old fifteen?"

"Ghost knows. It will take a few days to go up the mountain. How can these unscrupulous businessmen let people rest and get their wages, so bear with it."

When work was over in the evening, the fat white man had already turned into a fat red man, and the three of them looked ashamed.

At least Yu Qing knows that it is not suitable for people who do this kind of work to wear a ponytail, and it is not suitable for people whose hair is not coiled up, and it is not suitable for people who carry big bags to wear hairpins.

The three of them had to do a similar job for a few days.

When work was over on the fourth night, the three were notified to enter the mountain the next day. They said that they had seen that the three were hardworking people, which was quite reassuring, and that they could read and write, so they were ordered to be escorts for the mountain.

After all the hardships, the three of them felt a sense of joy that their sacrifices were rewarded.

At this time, the three of them seemed to be different people. They were already tanned, reddish in the dark.

When they arrived at the shipyard the next day, the three brothers and sisters all carried a thick stick, saying that it would be useful when carrying things, but in fact they all hid weapons inside.

Seeing Meng Wei, after Meng Wei selected him as an escort on the spot, Yu Qing and Nan Zhu, who were holding sticks, immediately surrounded them like dog legs, but Mu Ao stood silently with a stick, as if disdainful of the two fellow disciples virtue.

In fact, Yu Qing and Nan Zhu also hated the appearance of the old nine. They are here to get rich and go to the fairy house. Is it interesting to put on a high profile?Can Qing Gao get money?Is it useful to hide in the Linglong Temple for so many years if you have the backbone but no resources for cultivation?

However, the two of them knew that Lao Jiu would always look like a dog who didn't eat shit, no matter how they said it, it was useless.

Some shops in the city were also delivering goods to the shipyard. Under Meng Wei's signal, the three brothers Yu Qing called on all the coolies to help load the load, cut red silk and hung flowers on the load.

After everything was ready, You Lingluo, who was in charge of the opening of the port at the shipyard, finally showed up, followed by two people dressed as guards.

You Lingluo asked about the preparations, and Meng Wei replied that they were all ready, and then called Yu Qing and the other three to come over and introduced: "Sir, these three are all literate and hardworking, and they are escorts for this trip. Sir, on the way You can tell them to do anything directly.”

Yu Qing and Nan Zhu immediately nodded and bowed, with smiles on their faces.

You Lingluo asked, "Who is Niu Youqing?"

Yu Qing raised her hand slightly, said with her waist in her mouth, "The little one is right."

You Lingluo was choked and speechless for a while, then Fang coughed and said, "I've read what you wrote, yes, it's a bit of a shame to do this job, and I will follow me from now on." Come by, take your time."

Meng Wei quickly chimed in and said, "Sir, you look at you differently, don't you want to thank you?"

Yu Qing, who was thinking blankly, quickly nodded and bowed his thanks, but his heart was disdainful. As soon as the purpose of this trip was achieved, he would run away immediately, so why would he hang around with this old man.

Meng Wei immediately followed the words and designated Yu Qing as the number one escort, and even Nanzhu and Mu Aotie's journey would be under his control.

Lao Qi and Lao Jiu looked at each other speechlessly, and it was fine for the master to point out Lao Fifteen as the head of the sect. Why did he also point out that this place was their leader? Are scholars so popular?

Soon, a few horses were brought in. You Lingluo, Meng Wei and two guards were all riding in front, and a group of coolies were riding on a cart loaded with loads. They don't need to pick them now, the road is too long to save them some energy .

He Li loaded eight horse-drawn carts, and followed You Lingluo and the others all the way away...

It wasn't until the carriage had no way out that a group of porters got out of the carriage one after another and picked up the loads of congratulatory gifts one after another.

Yu Qing, who was the number one escort, kept calling out with a stick, "Hurry up, everyone, hurry up, there are still dozens of miles of mountain road to go."

While I was busy, I suddenly saw two old acquaintances I didn't want to see, none other than Qin Jue and Cui You, the big shopkeepers of Jianyuanzhai.

It seems that they are also here to congratulate, but the lineup is not as big as here, there are only four people in total.

Qin Jue and Cui You were also very surprised. It wasn't that Yu Qing and the three of them appeared here, but the change of the three of them. If it weren't for the fact that some people's bodies were too obvious, they were so dark that they almost couldn't recognize them. mountain identity.

"These three guys are so exposed to the sun, they really spent their money to enter the mountain, and they are cruel enough to themselves!" Cui You whispered a few words in Qin Jue's ear.

Qin Jue was calm, and led a few people into the mountain, as if he didn't know Yu Qing and others.

There are far more than this few people who entered the mountain. With such a little preparation by Bihai Shipping Company, more than a dozen groups of people came one after another, many of them are from the countable companies in Luanzhou, and there are even people from Luanzhou. official.

The barren mountains and ridges suddenly became quite lively, with an endless stream of visitors.

　Those who have feelings for the "Niu" surname are all old brothers, cover your face!
