Chapter 1240 Cool Work(2/3)
Qin Junliang naturally knew Lin Yu's concerns.
If you mention this matter to your sister, your sister will definitely be worried.
Afterwards, the two of them walked quickly towards the dock of Funing City.
On the way, Lin Yu told Qin Junliang the little cultivation techniques he just mentioned. Qin Junliang listened very seriously.
Just walking and talking like this, half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the pier.
Funing City is located on an important waterway, with countless water transport ships coming in and out every day, so the dock is very busy.
Since the technology of this era was not yet developed enough, the hard work on the docks mainly relied on manpower, which provided job opportunities for many capable young people.
Lin Yu led Qin Junliang to the labor market.
After some exchanges, the two received the job of loading and unloading goods.
In fact, it means carrying the goods off the ship, or carrying the goods on the dock onto the ship.
Basically, it can be said that there is no technical content, as long as you have some strength.
The dock foreman took Lin Yu and Qin Junliang to a place, then pointed at a batch of goods to be loaded and said to them: "That's it. Follow those people and carry everything on the boat."
"Okay." Qin Junliang agreed.
The foreman nodded, and then warned: "Be careful when you work. If something falls into the river, you won't be able to pay for it even if it costs you your life."
In his opinion, these two people have strength, so this warning is not harsh.
After saying that, he turned and left.
Lin Yu and Qin Junliang joined the team carrying goods.
For Lin Yu, this job is too simple. If he is willing, he can just blow his breath and have all the goods instantly transferred to the ship, neatly stacked.
He is willing to do such work mainly to experience life and experience experiences he has never experienced before.
To be honest, Lin Yu has never done such hard work since he was a child. The biggest physical labor in his life is housework and school cleaning.
So when he first started doing it, he thought it was quite fresh and interesting.
Of course, Qin Junliang is different from other dock workers.
Each of these people worked hard and were sweating profusely.
"drink!"
Qin Junliang put one sack of goods on his shoulders with a strong effort, and then asked the person in charge of unloading the goods to load three sacks of goods for him before walking towards the cargo ship with heavy steps.
As he walked, he practiced the body-building techniques according to the tips taught by Lin Yu. He was full of energy and had no intention of complaining at all.
Lin Yu also carried several sacks and followed Qin Junliang to the boat.
Naturally, he was very familiar with it and didn't feel tired at all.
Of course, he still pretended to be struggling on the surface to avoid others looking strange.
"Master, the method you taught me is very useful. I feel that my improvement is much faster than usual practice!"
Qin Junliang could still talk while walking, which showed that these four sacks of goods were not his limit.
Lin Yu said: "In a week at most, your foundation will be solid, and then I will teach you a set of boxing techniques."
"Okay!" Qin Junliang shouted excitedly.
Afterwards, the two men loaded and unloaded goods back and forth until the cargo ship was full, and then they stopped to rest with other workers.
"So hungry."
As soon as Qin Junliang sat down, he said he was very hungry.
He had just been practicing while carrying sacks, which consumed a lot of energy, so he was very hungry now.
Upon seeing this, Lin Yu said: "Bring more food tomorrow. If you don't eat enough, you won't be able to lay a solid foundation."
"Yeah." Qin Junliang nodded and rubbed his stomach to stop crying about hunger.
Today's work had just begun, and it was still early before dinner, so he could only endure it.
And this also made him feel the hardship of life firsthand.
Like before, his sister had always supported the family, so he didn't need to do such hard work to make money, and all he did was relatively easy work.
But now the burden of the entire family falls on him, and he can't do it unless he works hard.
"Come on, come on, come over here."
In the distance, the dock foreman shouted again.
As soon as he shouted, the dock worker who was sitting and resting quickly got up and walked quickly towards him.
The work on the dock is paid according to the work done, not dead wages, so no one likes to be idle.
Of course, this is all because of the pressure of life. If they had the choice, they would naturally want to lie down.
But in this world, lying down is equal to death.
Lin Yu and Qin Junliang also followed other dock workers and walked towards the foreman.
Over there is another pile of goods that have just arrived at the dock, waiting to be loaded onto the ship.
But the goods this time are different from the ones just now.
This time it was bulk cargo, not all packed in standard sacks like before.
Therefore, it is much more difficult to load and unload.
The dock workers didn't complain at all, and started working nervously at the foreman's order.
In this world, it's good to be able to survive. Tiredness is nothing.
Lin Yu observed Qin Junliang and found that Qin Junliang no longer had the same excitement as before.
It was obvious that physical fatigue and hunger made him not happy at all.
"Master, I feel that we need to change our clothes when we come to work tomorrow. This work is too hard on our clothes."
Qin Junliang suddenly turned to Lin Yu and said.
"It's time to change." Lin Yu responded casually.
Another two hours passed quickly.
Two hours later, the goods were finally loaded.
Qin Junliang couldn't bear it anymore and took Lin Yu to have dinner with him.
After eating, the two returned to the pier.
But Lin Yu suddenly saw four familiar figures.
They are the two couples Xing Tai, Liu Hui, Fang Xingsi and Jin Moyu.
They had just gotten off the cruise ship and seemed to be coming back from a trip somewhere.
And when Lin Yu saw the four people, the four people also saw Lin Yu at the same time.
"Hey, isn't that Lin Yu? Why is he doing this kind of work?"
Jin Moyu said in surprise.
Liu Hui answered: "This is not normal. If he doesn't do this kind of thing, what else can he do?"
"Yes, he is a boy from the mountains. He has neither culture nor ability. He can only work as a coolie."
Xing Tai and Fang Xingsi also didn't take it seriously.
They felt that this was the right place for Lin Yu, and he could only do this kind of work.
"It's so dirty and disgusting."
Jin Moyu said with disgust.
Originally, she was thinking about going up to say hello, but now she has no idea at all.
"Let's go." Liu Hui said, "If we stand here again, he will come looking for us."
She felt that Lin Yu was living a hard life now and felt the difficulty of life. Maybe after seeing the four of them, he would stick to them like brown candy, which would be troublesome.
