I have a room in Huangquan

Page 238

After Gan Ding left, he sat back on the sofa, feeling a little silent for a moment.

Ding Xiaoyi just glanced at it and didn't ask any more questions.

On the other hand, Beilan carefully helped Ding Xiaoyi put away the necklace.

He looked like a younger brother with a saddle in front of a horse.

I pray in my heart that I can reach the port as soon as possible.

"Wow!!"

The hum of the cruise ship sounded on the sea.

As a huge island gradually appeared in people's sight, the originally empty sea suddenly became lively.

All kinds of ships converged to the port from all directions, and swam from the port to all directions.

"Look, the mouth of heaven is in front of you, and the villages below are the lower level of Paradise Island, a paradise for pirates, a paradise for merchants, and the only pure land for pirates!"

Watching the huge island getting closer outside the window, Beran became extremely excited.

Ding Xiaoyi looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about Paradise Island at all.

However, the eyes are looking at this huge island through the refraction of the mirror light on the glass window of the room.

"Master, this is really a geomantic treasure!"

A wisp of green smoke floated out from the finger, and soon Wangcai praised him sincerely.

The natural arc-shaped island is a natural port. With a little planning, it can be transformed into a large comprehensive dock, which can accommodate all kinds of ships.

And the wide mountains behind it occupy three-quarters of the island, each floor is like a terraced field, and each floor is blocked by a thick and tall city wall.

Like a three-layered cake, it's the perfect fortress.

Seeing such a good Fengshui treasure land in front of him, Wangcai was a little moved. After all, anyone who occupies such a good Fengshui treasure land is a very strong capital.

Thinking of this, Wangcai suddenly had an idea in his heart. Although the probability of success was not high, he did not give up on the experiment. Anyway, even if he did not succeed, there would be no loss.

However, the time is not yet ripe for this idea, but it already has a candidate in its heart.

Wangcai glanced at the excited Beran.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt that Belan, a cowardly and cowardly guy who dared to give it a go at a critical moment, suddenly became cute.

With the huge hull of Yuanhang, it gradually sailed into the port in the deep water area.

The workers who surrounded the pier to discuss life got up in an instant.

Before the hull docked, there was already a long queue waiting for work.

Such a harmonious scene can only be seen when a large ship like Yuanhang arrives.

Because the supplies and goods brought by the Voyage are enough to make a lot of money for the gangs at the dock.

Everyone has money to make, so naturally they won't compete for those small jobs.

This also freed up a lot of work for those scattered agricultural workers. It can be said that Yuanhang is definitely the most happy pirate ship at the dock.

"Guys, this is Yuanhang's membership card. For any cooperation, our handling fee will be discounted by [-]%. In the bars we cooperate with, you can also enjoy membership treatment!"

When Ding Xiaoyi and the others walked off the deck, Gan Ding did not forget to come to see them off, and at the same time stamped the textured membership card.

Beilan carefully helped Ding Xiaoyi take it.

Abel hesitated for a while, but he didn't refuse. He just felt uncomfortable facing the gentlemanly Ganding in front of him.

Perhaps it was also at this time that he could understand why people would sneer when they heard that someone became a sailor of the Voyage.

In the past, Gan Ding was a warrior everyone feared.

But now, he is just a domestic dog raised in capital captivity.

After letting out a deep sigh in his heart, Abel turned around and left the pier behind Ding Xiaoyi and Beilan.

After watching the crowd walk out of the pier, Gan Ding called a sailor and handed him the prepared photo and name.

"Check as much as you can, check as much as you can find!"

After the sailor took the photo, he cleverly hid everything in his bosom. Like a mouse, the sailor got into the crowd and quickly disappeared.

He took out a copper gong from his assistant and slammed it hard: "Boom!!!"

With the sound of the gong, the two iron bars were opened, and the workers who lined up behind rushed forward like a tide.

Looking at the pairs of eyes staring at him in front of him, these skinny old men, some even with gray hair, were eagerly waiting for their own voice.

This made him take a short deep breath, enjoying the feeling of superiority: "An item is 10 yuan, and it will be finished before tonight, and everyone will add 20 yuan."

As the voice fell, the huge pier was instantly filled with cheers

Thanks to Brother Qiu for the reward [Silver Alliance Leader]

Thank you, the chairman of BB Mingche in this book, the major shareholder of the letter from the ancestors, Brother Qiu cross-plane reward.

Of course the above sentence is a joke.

But in my heart, I am really grateful to the big brother Liao Qiu, brother Qiu's silver alliance.

Along the way, from stamps to hell, Brother Qiu didn't talk much, but he always supported me.

What can I say, womenswear? ?

Superficial, Brother Qiu is blushing because of my talent

Well, to be honest, it's because it's too cold in winter, and my old community has no heating, so it's not fun to catch a cold.

It's better to be more realistic, let's add more.

Because I didn't save the manuscript, I didn't dare to make changes.

But at least five more chapters must be added.

So one day is endless, and I continue to add more debts the next day.

Chapter 224: Paradise Island [Second Update]

Walking out of the port, Ding Xiaoyi looked at the strange world in front of him with a gust of fresh sea breeze.

This place is located in the gentlest area under the hillside, densely packed with similar dilapidated small wooden sheds, most of which are temporary residences for dock workers.

They probably have a home in the back town.

But there is still a long way to go, and no one can tell when the work on the dock will be available.

It could be night, it could be day.

Encountered an abnormal situation, there was no example of a cargo ship for several days.

In short, there are too many monks and too few porridge, and whoever grabs it belongs to him.

Maybe you missed a job just by going home.

So these workers often find a place to stay here by themselves.

Not far from the port, across a high place, at the foot of the mountain, you can see a gray wooden town.

The buildings in the town were intertwined in a disorderly manner, giving people a dark and old feeling, and a large number of women, children and urchins in shabby clothes could be vaguely seen.

The reason for this place is to prevent high tide.

However, because of the unique location of Paradise Island, there are not many high tides.

It's only two or three times a year. People have long been used to the pattern. It is estimated that when it is about the same time, they will hide behind the lower city wall of Paradise Island with their things.

"Krutu, don't worry about these untouchables, let's go directly to the middle floor, this is the dirty and smelly sewer, God, I really hope that there will be more tides to wash them clean!"

Facing the dirty and messy environment around him, Bellan unabashedly pinched his nose with a disgusted expression on his face.

Ding Xiaoyi frowned, disgusted by what Beilan said.

He was born in a protected area and grew up in a wealthy family.

Although grandpa restricted his extravagant spending, he was never dissatisfied with food, drink, clothing and housing.

In addition, in the protected area, even if there is a gap between the rich and the poor, such an environment has never appeared.

And when I first came into contact with it, I was still in the spiritual space, the little match girl.

Looking at the five or six-year-old children in front of them, running around with their buttocks naked.

Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but think of the little girl selling cigarettes to him with bare feet, and felt a little uncomfortable in an instant.

"You may not have been back for a long time. The situation here is different from what you have been in contact with before. Believe me, there is absolutely no reason for Beran to say this."

Abel seemed to notice that there was something wrong with Ding Xiaoyi's eyes, so he opened his mouth and explained to Bellan:

"In fact, in the past two years, the middle level of Paradise Island has been trying to absorb some bottom-level personnel to increase the population of the middle area.

Therefore, many policies and preferential policies have been made.

But the result is not ideal.

Some people send their daughters to the middle class not to let them learn knowledge, but to send them to the middle class club.

Because there can be sold at a higher price.

As for the boys, look over there, there is a new training ground opened by the pirate regiment, and they can teach basic weapon training and sailing knowledge when they enter.

Most people just send their children inside, intending to let them come out to be pirates.

After all, these people often see those pirates who are spending money, holding a lot of money in their hands, and think that being a pirate is a job that is really rich.

There are too few families who are really willing to send their children to middle-level schools. "

When Abel said this, he couldn't help but look regretful.

As a pirate, he knew exactly what kind of profession a pirate was.

Only third-rate pirates would rob those freighters.

A real pirate is going to explore unknown seas.

While looking for treasures, of course you have to fight and plunder the aliens.

The risk is very high, after all, those aliens are very fierce.

Profitability is also proportional.

This is a happy life, a chic and free voyage, but the price of freedom is definitely not cheap.

Of course, Abel is also aware of the professional characteristics of pirates.

So he didn't have the nerve to put gold on his face and call himself an explorer instead.

But if he has children, he will never let his children become a pirate who may die at any time.

Abel's explanation surprised himself.

It was even a little shocking, would there be such cruel and selfish parents who would send their children into a fire pit?

"Master, the environment determines everything. This is their way of survival. After all, this is not a protected area, and it is not selfish. The purpose of everything is to survive!"

Wangcai understands the truth far better than Ding Xiaoyi.

After hearing this, Ding Xiaoyi smiled wryly in his heart, not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, I remembered a sentence from Chu Lingzhi: "We walk with a heavy burden, and we remain silent."

For a while, I didn't know whether to say I was lucky or moved. After the reality and my cognition had a strong friction.

Perhaps only at this time can one realize that although the trade union and the alliance are constantly at odds with each other, they are surprisingly consistent in protecting their homeland.

"Get in the car!"

Bellan called the carriage, and the three of them rode in the carriage and headed straight to the middle layer of Paradise Island.

After passing through the huge city wall in the lower area, the guards checked the documents presented by Belan, then opened the sling and let them in.

The middle area is actually very large and high, and the highest point is already halfway up the mountain.

Layers of terraced buildings make the street look very narrow and dark.

Coupled with the reason of the city wall, except for some places with higher positions, other places are always in a dark environment.
