685 The Endless 2
"The hotel owner wants to harm us too?" Xiao Ma still didn't understand.

"We're not that famous yet, and there's no need to go into troubled waters if someone opens a shop. Someone just pays to rent a room." Now that the tiger and the scalper understand, according to the principle of the minority obeying the majority, it doesn't matter whether the pony understands or not.Hong Tao waved his hand, indicating that he could go back to the car.

"...They rented a lot of empty rooms just to make us have no place to live?" Xiao Ma didn't leave, he felt that this matter didn't make sense.Even if there is no room to live in, you can set up a tent and camp, but the hotel owner will definitely not refund the rent after the rent is spent. Who would do such a stupid thing!

"..." Hong Tao pouted at the tiger, and took out the map from his pocket.

"Brother, there are more than these drivers who come here to pull goods, and they will arrive one after another. As long as we are forced to leave, they can transfer the room out, and they won't lose a penny." For his brothers, the tiger is still very good. patiently.

"...Then if we set up a tent... let's go, the smell here is too bad, I may not be able to fall asleep." Everyone said that one key opens one lock, and the rusty lock of Xiaoma has to be restored. Tigers open.This time he not only figured it out, but also extended it.

"Don't let winter walk through the strait, I'm leaving; the living corpse is terrible, we raised it; the adjudicator is powerful, we killed it; the ground snake is not aggressive, so we also provoked it; it's a broken road, so why not walk... slap... drive!"

A few minutes later, Hong Tao put away the map, danced a whip, urged the carriage, and took the lead to drive out of the cold, damp and smelly small fishing village.Two four-wheeled carriages loaded with goods started, their wheels rolling over the broken road and rumbling forward.

The gloomy sky is getting lower and lower, and the sea breeze whips up the hem of the clothes and makes a fluttering sound.The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return when he is gone. Everything is perfect, except that the whip flowers are not too brittle.The Crimean dance made a loud noise, he was like a damp firecracker, crackling...

This scene was all seen by the drivers at the entrance of the small wine shop, most of them didn't care.Every year, the alliance hires a transport team to come here to transport sea goods several times, and there are all kinds of cars coming and going.

"Huh, showy..." But there are two tables of drivers whose eyes have been following the four-wheeled carriage. There are more than ten of them in total, and they are mainly three or 40 years old. They are faintly headed by a black-faced man wearing a fur coat. .Hearing the sound of Hong Tao's firecracker, the man sneered and made a comment.

"Brother Gang, should we move?" The people at the two tables laughed together, and then someone asked.

"Don't worry, they have a lot of loads on the car, so they can't run fast on this kind of road. Third, take someone to cover the car first, and start in 10 minutes!" The black-faced man called Brother Gang is slightly younger , more than 30 years old, with a square face and thick eyebrows, with a heavy nasal voice, and he is quite imposing in his gestures.

"Gangzi, there are tough ideas in this group, especially the two people in the lead car. I'm afraid they have kung fu. Just squeeze them out, do you have to make enemies?" Sitting next to the black-faced man was a younger man A big man, not tall or strong, but with bright eyes.

"Uncle, it's not that we want to have a feud, it's that someone stepped on us. Every year we have to go two or three times for the work of hauling overseas goods. This year is good. There are three cars left in the family and we can only go for short distances. If we still Nothing to say, if you don't wait until next year, you will have to step on the next step, and you can't retreat!"

When Brother Gang heard the old man speak, he immediately dissipated the hostility on his face. Not only did his tone soften, but his voice lowered a lot. The tone in his tone was more explanation than decision, and it was full of discussion.

"Yeah, old uncle, we can't bear it! Old uncle, you can't retreat! Old uncle, didn't you say that whoever made us feel uncomfortable, and no one should think about being comfortable, and do it with them!"

Some of the coachmen present were quite agitated, and expressed their views one after another, and some threw their wine bowls on the ground, so frightened that the tavern owner ran out to see if the coachmen were drunk and fighting again.

He doesn't care what the fight is like, it's very close to the shipyard, and there is a sentry post of the Alliance army a few minutes away.Whoever tosses out of the circle will be unlucky, but whoever breaks it must be seen clearly, small business can't afford it.

"What are you arguing about! Let's go, let's help the car when we've had enough. I have something to talk to my uncle. Old Wang, don't be afraid, we will count it together when we pay the bill!" Brother Gang's face sank, and his whole body puffed up. With a beast-like aura, he shouted to disperse his subordinates, and then took the loss of the tavern owner.

"Gangzi, we are newcomers in the past two years, and we can't stand up if we don't fight hard, but this is not a long-term solution. Do you understand if you shoot the first bird? I know you want to make the transport team bigger, and young people are high-spirited too. It should be, but there is no need to rush this matter, it’s not enough to act ruthlessly.”

"Look at the people with heads and faces in the safe zone, which one has no relationship with the above. We are jumping with one leg now, and we are always missing a leg. We can't be too fast, and it is easy to fall! As long as we fall, someone will be there immediately Come over and step on it, you won't be able to turn over easily!"

Everyone at the table left. The old man took out a bundle of long copper pipes and pots from his pocket, filled the leather bag hanging below with shredded tobacco, and lit it with the lighter that Gangzi handed over.After taking two sips, he slowly talked about his perception of life.

"Uncle, I understand what you're saying, and I've been trying to find a way to find another leg. But this time it's too annoying. The transport team with a lot of cars is not ours. No one else moved, only the buckle If there is no response to our list, others will think we are easy to bully."

Brother Gang is not tired of the old man's nagging. He can get from a penniless refugee to today. It can't be said that he didn't work hard on his own, but he can't do without the support and help of the old man.As the saying goes, having an old man is like having a treasure, and having an old uncle in charge makes one feel more at ease.

"Well, it's the company that issued the bill, not them. I always feel that this is weird. According to the rules, long-distance will not send it to newcomers. Zhou Tong is not a newcomer, so he can understand? If it is a relationship with the company, it is also used. If you don’t need to run this road, just squeeze out a little bit and it’s enough for three cars.”

"Even if it has to be deducted from the affiliated transport team, it shouldn't be deducted from our family only. If you find two or three companies at random, and each family gets a car, who can say anything? I won't be there when the job is picked up. Please pay attention." Think about it, Zhou Tong said he never said anything about Gonghuo'er. If so, then we probably let him be the gunman."

Brother Gang's respect is not superfluous at all. Although the old man has never seen many things with his own eyes, he can guess the facts based on his life experience and understanding of the industry, which is very close to reality.

"Huh... Zhou Tong said that they came from the south of the city, and their relationship was very strong, so he couldn't save face. He also said that the three of their cars were just scouting the road, and there were several new cars behind, threatening to be the largest transportation team... "

Following the old man's train of thought for a while, the firm expression in Brother Gang's eyes began to waver, and he held his chin and thought about his words and deeds in the hall that day, which seemed a little strange.

"Then have you inquired about their details?" The old man frowned as he listened.

"...My fucking brain is rusty too. Lao Yu is from the south of the city, why didn't I think of asking. Just wait, his people have arrived, I'll look for them!"

These words were like a flash of lightning that wiped out all the resentment in Brother Gang's mind, his reason came back online, and he immediately realized the big negligence.If someone uttered such words, it should not be Zhou Tong or himself, but the transportation team in the southern safety zone who should know first.

"Sit down, how can you still be so frizzy at this age, and why do you have a very flexible mind? Think about it, except for Chang'an, only the north of the city has a horse farm in the alliance."

"The carriage can be made by yourself, but the mules and horses can't be born by themselves? If they want to build such a large transport team, it can't be solved by three or five mules and horses. You don't pay attention to how many mules and horses are in stock in the horse farm in front of our house. Pass?"

The old man looked ordinary when he was not showing off his power, but once his eyebrows were raised, there was still a lot of sharp light in those big piercing eyes, which had suppressed Brother Gang in terms of momentum.

"Pa... I forgot about this!" Brother Gang raised his hand when he heard this, and gave himself a big mouth.

"Gangzi, have you been scolded again? Brother Tong, you can't use your mouth alone, you have to use the soles of your shoes... Hahaha..." This action immediately attracted the attention of the drivers at the next table. , Most of them know each other, and there are people watching the excitement right now, not afraid of big things.
