Chapter 7

Mr. Hu is right. Jiang Yilong and I really walked another day and a half to Chongqing. The colorful and busy traffic in front of us is something we have never seen in the mountain village we used to live in. This is a prosperous and new world. This will be a new world for us to show our strength.

However, when we were ready to integrate into the world, we suddenly found that we were just a helpless duckweed swaying in the wind. Our poverty is out of tune with the world. Everywhere we go, we can't help but attract disdainful eyes. Even when people see our embarrassment, they will deliberately choose to take a detour to avoid us.

"Two beggars are not allowed to stand in front of my shop. What are you looking at? It's you. Get out of here."

"We are not..."

Before he finished, I pulled Jiang Yilong away and said, "elder martial brother, it seems that the first thing we do in Chongqing is to learn to get used to this vision."

"We're not asking for a cut. Isn't it wrong?"

"We just know in our hearts."

"Yes, I didn't expect that I was a few years older than you. Young martial brother, don't worry. As long as we work hard, we won't receive such cold eyes one day."

"Yes, we can do it."

We didn't bring much money, but we relied on these legs all the way, and the food on the road was also taken from the mountains and fields of heaven and earth. When we arrived in Chongqing, our total possessions were still 123.70 yuan. Before, we thought it was a large amount of money. Until now, we know that this money is not enough to make us take root in Chongqing, a strange city.

Jiang Yilong and I walked aimlessly and couldn't find a place to live. Maybe it was blessed by God. When we passed a bridge, we accidentally found a flat ground under the bridge, with a straw mat stacked in the corner at one end, a few clothes and a simple stove, pot and bowl.

"This is a big city. There will be people living here?"

"Elder martial brother, it's late now, and we don't have much money. Since others can live here, why don't we take it as a shelter?"

"Yes, yes, a big husband can bend and stretch. Others can live in such a place. Why can't we?"

After a long journey, I was really exhausted. After eating two steamed buns, Jiang Yilong and I curled up and slept against the other end of the platform. I don't know how long later, I vaguely heard a burst of footsteps. Then, a few shouts woke us up.

This is a middle-aged man in his forties. A smell of sweat comes to his nose. His originally friendly face is angry at this time. "Dog day, where did you run to beg for a hole? Xiao doesn't know this is my territory. Get out of here quickly."

"Uncle, you misunderstood, we are not..."

"Uncle, don't be angry. We're just too sleepy, so..."

He glanced at us and suddenly remembered something. He quickly put down a shoulder pole and hemp rope on his shoulder and ran to the corner where he lived. He carefully checked back and forth for several minutes before he was relieved.

I knew why he had such a reaction and quickly said, "uncle, we're not asking for a cut, let alone a thief."

"No, that's good. Where did you come from? Why did you sleep on my land?"

I saw that most of his anger had dissipated, and his voice was not as fierce as before. I quickly spent a few minutes talking about what happened to Jiang Yilong and me.

My uncle's name is Luo Liguo. After listening to what I said, he frowned slightly and remained silent for a long time. He immediately took out the big front door of two yuan a bag from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Yilong and me. We said no, and he lit one for himself. "I really belittled you two and went to this place to make a lot of money. Hey, I have a great ambition, but you should know what Chongqing is."

"Uncle Luo, of course, we know that Chongqing is a big city. Every inch of land is worth an inch of money. There are opportunities to make money everywhere. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't come here to make a lot of money."

Luo Liguo looked at me and shook his head. "You're right. But I mean, what skills do you two have? If you want to make a lot of money here, if you don't have any skills or skills, you might as well go back to the countryside to grow crops."

"We are the way..." Jiang Yilong suddenly realized that it was wrong and quickly changed his mouth and said with a smile: "We are both rural shanwa. Where do we have any skills? Uncle Luo, there is a good saying that meeting is fate. We can meet here, which is also a blessing we cultivated in our last life. But my brother and I have just arrived in Chongqing, and we have no relatives. Uncle Luo, you get up here again. Can you give us a clear way?"

Luo Liguo clapped his legs and laughed, saying: "I'm doing well and still need to live here? However, you were right just now. Meeting is fate. Besides, you've all come before you come, and you may not be willing to let you go back now. In this way, I'll take it as a good thing and show you a clear way. You're new here and don't know other skills. The best way is to work hard."

"We are not afraid of hardship and fatigue, as long as we have a bite."

Luo Liguo pointed to the shoulder pole he had just put down and said, "this is what I survived here. Since you are not afraid of hardship and fatigue, you will work with me in the future. Don't worry, Luo Liguo will never pit you."

"Uncle Luo, what is this?"

"Bang bang."

Chongqing is a mountain city. Walking through streets and alleys still needs to climb slopes and ridges. Therefore, a special group of "Bangbang army" was formed a long time ago. Bang Bang relies on his hands, a shoulder pole and a pair of shoulders.

Jiang Yilong and I didn't expect that as a leader in Luo Liguo, we would be brought into the huge team of Bangbang army. We should have stayed in this team for four years. During these four years, we followed Luo Liguo around the streets during the day to solicit business. After dinner at night, we studied Taiyi Zhengfa. Fortunately, Luo Liguo didn't know big characters. Otherwise, he knew long ago that we actually had a skill.

"Xiao Jiang and Xiao Qi got up for dinner. Today, there was no sun, and there was a little wind. They were cool. After eating, they could run business."

In recent years, we have established a very deep friendship with Luo Liguo, just like a family. I opened my eyes, stretched and was about to take a bowl of porridge, but at this time, my eyes stayed on Luo Liguo's face. "Uncle Luo, what happened to your nose?"

Luo Liguo said, "just now when I was cooking, I accidentally scratched a line. It's all right. The hole is very shallow and there's no blood. I'll make it up after eating two eggs."

For fear of reading wrong, I took Jiang Yilong's eyes. He looked at it for a long time and said, "Uncle Luo, I'll go out with Zhiyuan today. You can stay at home and have a rest."

"Why?"

"This..."

After so many years together, we and Luo Liguo also know the root and bottom. We even know his birthday. According to his face and the eight characters of his birthday, Luo Liguo's life is indeed a laborious life, but there is a windfall opportunity for about half a hundred. If you seize the rest of your life, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and if you don't seize it for the rest of your life.

At the beginning, we joked about him. However, Luo Liguo did not believe in fate, let alone fortune tellers. He claimed that these were deceptive and superstitious.

Luo Liguo's seal hall has a trace of black Qi, which is evil Qi. The bridge of his nose collapsed and his nostrils were large. This was a loss of money. However, when he cooked in the morning, he was careless and cut a hole in the bridge of his nose. Jiang Yilong and I know very well that Luo Liguo may have an accident today, either to lose money or to see blood.

"Uncle Luo, just listen to us."

"Take a rest. Don't go out and make a lot of money. Drink the West and north wind. Besides, the house we went to see yesterday takes more than 800 months. If we don't make more money, do we still live here all the time?"

We know Luo Liguo very well. Even if we say it, he won't believe it. Besides, this divination calculation originally means that those who believe will work properly, and those who do not believe will have nothing. Of course, I also hope this is just that Jiang Yilong and I are not good at learning, and we are wrong.

Maybe we were a little unlucky today. We went out early in the morning and walked through the streets. It was almost noon. We didn't even take a single business. Luo Liguo was a little anxious. He said to go to the wharf, and we hurriedly carried the guy to the wharf.

As soon as we got to the dock, we saw a ship berthing. A group of Bangbang had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing this, we immediately surrounded it enthusiastically. After some bargaining, the Bangbang army left with goods on their shoulders. We came late. We didn't rush in just now. We thought we had another trip. Unexpectedly, someone shouted at us at this time: "bang bang, bang bang, come here quickly."

We hurried up with a shy face and enthusiasm. In front of me were two men, who should be no more than 30 years old and dressed very decently. Two wooden boxes were placed beside them. Most of the wooden boxes were not sealed. We didn't know what was in them. In addition, there were three bulging backpacks.

One said, "you three?"

"We are a team. Boss, you have to choose all these things?"

"Well, we have to choose."

"Where are you going?"

"Just follow us."

"OK." Luo Liguo quickly took out the hemp rope and prepared to tie it firmly. I picked it up. The box was not as heavy as the backpack. He asked curiously, "boss, can I have a word more? What's in the box?"

"Nothing, just some fruit."

We are a three person group. We are together whether eating, sleeping or spending money. After careful calculation of the business we just received, there are not many things. For everyone's ease, Luo Liguo picked a box and a backpack, and so is Jiang Yilong. I carry the rest of the backpacks. Just about to follow them, Jiang Yilong asked, "boss, the price..."

"There's a lot of nonsense. When you go to a place, you say a lot of money is a lot of money."

We were so happy that we followed them. These two people are also a little strange. First, they didn't disclose an accurate destination to me. Second, according to their words, the box contains fruits and so on. Even if the box is not very large, the fully loaded weight is at least about 50 kg. However, the weight of the box is much lighter than that of the backpack.

Of course, we just think about these problems in our hearts. Anyway, we just need to send things to the destination and take the money to shoot and scatter.

After walking with them for nearly 20 minutes, there was another alley at the head of which was an upward ladder. According to our respective loads, it's not hard to climb dozens of steps. However, Luo Liguo walked in front and just climbed to the second ladder. Suddenly, he slipped under his feet, lost weight and fell down. If Jiang Yilong hadn't avoided fast, he would suffer.
