"Wait a minute! Tie them up first. Senior Brother Liu will be arriving in the next few days." The female shopkeeper raised a deep eyebrow and said quickly as if she remembered something important.
"Okay, boss." The boy agreed quickly.
The boy helped Zhang Sanbao up.
He had just taken a few steps when he paused, put an arm on Zhang Sanbao's waist, squeezed it hard a few times, and then whispered with a heavy and worried look on his face:
"Master, this silly boy has strong muscles and has practiced some boxing and kicking. However, he is less than 6 feet tall and does not meet the height standard! If he turns it in, will it anger the superiors? If he is blamed, you can..."
"I'm a bit short in height, but I have to give it a try if I'm strong. Besides, Senior Brother Liu has failed to hand over qualified candidates several times." The female shopkeeper replied coldly with a calm face.
"Well, I'll tie up the silly boy right now." The boy responded and helped the young man to walk to the back room.
...
Zhang Sanbao, who was groggy and had a splitting headache, came to his senses after the Mongolian sweat medicine wore off.
It was pitch black before my eyes.
"Ouch!" At this time, the Menghan medicine was still strong. He cried out in pain and hurriedly stretched out his hands to support his head. Only then did he realize that his hands and feet were tied with cloth ropes.
It was quiet all around, and the sound of pain echoed through the air, which was particularly clear and harsh, making Zhang Sanbao feel terrified.
His heart tightened and he immediately closed his mouth tightly, fearing that he would make a sound again and attract the two vicious female shopkeepers.
'You have to think of a way to escape quickly! She was sold into slavery, her mouth was silenced and her body was thrown into the wilderness, she was chopped into pieces and stuffed into meat buns... I didn't provoke this vicious and vicious woman! Mother, help me!' Zhang Sanbao thought.
I thought in a panic, thinking about the possibility of persecution I was about to suffer.
'It's over, it's over! I entered a shady store, mother, what should I do?'
After a short while of random thoughts.
The previous sound of pain did not attract the two evil women to come to check.
Zhang Sanbao's wariness diminished and he began to struggle hard.
He pulled hard on the ropes of his hands and feet, trying to break the restraints and get out of the current predicament.
It was only after a cup of tea that the rope was extremely strong and was not broken, but there was no trace of strength left in his body, so he reluctantly stopped!
At this time, Zhang Sanbao, who gave up struggling, became calm and rational.
"It's not cold or warm under me. It should be a wooden house, and I should still be in the teahouse." Zhang Sanbao squirmed and thought.
'Having your eyes, mouth, hands and feet tied up and blocked means that you still have profits to make. If you don't have to worry about your life in the short term, you can only look for other opportunities.'
'What if: I don't have those few taels of silver...'
At this moment, Zhang Sanbao regretted it!
He regretted the hospitality: he followed the waiter into the store, fell into the female shopkeeper's beauty trap, and then licked his cheek and drank wine with hospitality!
He regretted the ancient saying of Rechang: taking the old man home on his back, and receiving a few taels of broken silver with a happy face, thus causing undue disaster!
Zhang Sanbao's originally sincere and kind heart was tainted by the evil influence of the evil-hearted woman, and there were already signs of wavering.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Sanbao fell asleep in a daze due to fatigue.
...
"Creak, creak, creak..." A burst of rapid footsteps woke up Zhang Sanbao, who was sleeping lightly.
Immediately afterwards there was the sound of opening the door, and there was a vague sense of faint light shining in.
"Wake up, wake up, it's time to hit the road." The boy's vicious and harsh voice sounded.
When Zhang Sanbao heard that he was about to go on the road, his heart tightened and his heart suddenly felt cold.
Then Zhang Sanbao, with the help of a young boy who forced him to do so, turned around several detours and obstacles and got into a carriage.
"Senior Brother Liu, why did you come to pick me up in person? It's been a long journey, so come in and have a cup of tea and wine to relieve your fatigue." At this time, he was filled with hatred, and the voice of the sinister female shopkeeper sounded, which was both frivolous and flattering.
"Huh!" a strange young man's voice sounded.
The young man was not old, but his tone was not young! He whipped his riding crop in the air angrily and scolded the female shopkeeper:
"Ma Cuihua, you are so brave. You dare to disobey orders given by your master! Not only have you repeatedly refused to perform tasks, but even the people you turned in failed to meet the physical requirements."
"Senior Brother Liu, please calm down. There are already very few people passing through this place. In addition, due to the consumption in recent years, there has been a shortage of qualified people nearby. This is also an inevitable result. I have indeed not neglected my duty. I would like to ask Senior Brother to take a closer look." Female
The shopkeeper was immediately frightened and cautiously lowered his head to plead guilty, for fear of offending the young senior brother.
When the female shopkeeper saw that Senior Brother Liu didn't answer and was still angry, she glanced at the boy next to her.
The young man understood.
He took out a heavy silver bag from his pocket and tremblingly handed it to Senior Brother Liu.
Senior Brother Liu put away his angry whip, took the silver bag, and weighed it. Then his anger faded and he said with dignity:
"Hmph! I'm sorry you don't dare. I think the master also knows your difficulties. Well, senior brother has something important to do, so I won't delay here!"
"Drive, drive."
After putting away the silver bag, Senior Brother Liu straightened his face, pulled up the reins, shook the whip, and drove the carriage westward.
The female shopkeeper stood there, her eyes moving.
She stared at Senior Brother Liu's carriage, gradually going further and further away, until there was no trace of him, then she cursed angrily:
"You are a vicious villain who eats people without spitting out their bones! The money you spent on human meat buns after months of hard work is gone like this!"
"Master, wouldn't it be great if we abandoned this place and went away to another country?" The young man stood aside and threatened to console him.
"Jiang Xiaozui, get rid of that evil spirit as soon as possible. You are a human and I am an immortal!" the female shopkeeper scolded angrily.
"Hehe." The boy licked his cheek and looked at the woman with a silly smile.
...
The carriage driven by Senior Brother Liu is not gorgeous but very spacious.
Zhang Sanbao, who was sitting inside, felt that the carriage was very smooth and very fast. He vaguely heard the whistling of the wind outside the window.
While driving.
I experienced this intermittently several times, similar to the conversation between Senior Brother Liu and the female shopkeeper.
The carriage became small and crowded, but Zhang Sanbao felt better in his heart! After all, there were more of the same 'idiots', and he felt better and more balanced.
I don’t know when? The carriage finally stopped.
"Senior Brother Liu, you have worked hard all the way. Today is an hour or two later than usual. Did the trip go well?" A strange voice, also young, greeted.
"Junior Brother Ge, please worry, everything is fine! I was delayed a little on the way." Senior Brother Liu responded casually.
"It's okay. How many coolies are there for this pick-up?"
"Four coolies."
"Um."
"I have to trouble Junior Brother Ge to untie them one by one and send them to the hospital."
"You're welcome, Senior Brother Liu."
From the conversation between the two, everyone in the car learned their new identities: coolies.
And this place is the destination of the carriage: the end.
The young man Ge Si helped everyone out of the carriage one after another, and took off the ropes and cloth covers.
After Fang Yi took off the blindfold, Zhang Sanbao suddenly felt that the light was dazzling and could not open his eyes. When his eyes relaxed and recovered, the scene that greeted him made his heart click.
The scene in front of him made his heart suddenly feel very bad!
