Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 116 Return of the Guards 2
Liu Yu heard everything about Xie Xian from his nephew.
I thought she was a delicate girl, but she could lift a grown man with just one hand. I heard she was ruthless, but she also loved to sleep in.
Then the most outrageous thing was that the old woman at the entrance of the village said that the female monarch was the reincarnation of Shura. Liu Yu wiped his face and thought, forget it, he should just see for himself!
When Liu Yu appeared in the center of the square with a confused expression on his face, his brothers who had returned also arrived one after another.
In the center of the square in Weizhong, a lot of reeds were piled up neatly. People from other villages came to buy them from time to time, but they held white slips of paper in their hands.
When Liu saw her brother leaving, she put away the note in her hand and waved to him: "Come and help load the car. We need to go to the dock to unload the fish later!"
Several old soldiers who originally wanted to talk to their captain felt embarrassed to just stand there and watch, so they came over to help.
After the goods were loaded and tied up, Liu took the group to the dock.
"Sister-in-law, why are there so few people in Weili?" They came here together, and when they looked up, they saw that they were all their brothers who had just returned and were strolling around in Weili.
I don’t know where the others have gone?
"It's at the dock. Our ship needs to come back today to unload the fish. It's a good thing you're back, otherwise we would be too busy." Liu said as she moved quickly.
Several old soldiers' eyes lit up. Fish? They drooled at the thought of fish. Poor God, let alone fish, they couldn't even eat meat all year round.
The guards of Tongguan didn't even take them seriously. They were responsible for patrolling the farthest places and doing the dirtiest and most tiring work.
What's more, some people wanted them to change their allegiance. And some people in Weizhong were tempted, and many of them were among those who came back this time.
But the strange thing is that at this time of year in previous years, the autumn harvest had already been completed, and most of the men in Wei would go into the mountains to hunt, while the other women and children would still stay in the station.
But when nearly a thousand of them came back, the station was obviously empty. Where did all the people go during the day? The elderly and children were nowhere to be seen, and the few acquaintances they occasionally met just said hello and left.
Compared with the lifeless guardhouse in previous years, there have been significant changes in this year's station. Although everyone is busy, there is light in their eyes and they seem to have become stronger.
"Hey! When will Weili have a boat? Is that fishing boat still needed? Why are so many people going to help?" The people following behind obviously didn't believe it.
"Sister-in-law, I know you want to take us to eat some meat, otherwise we'd better not go!" Several men said with shyness on their faces.
They didn't come back to eat for free, but it would be unreasonable if they had to compete with women and children for work and fish.
When Liu heard what he said, "Oh, by the way, there are more than just you guys back, hurry up and call everyone over to help."
Seeing that they didn't move, she pushed Liu Yu and said, "Come on, where do you think everyone in the guardhouse has gone?" She said with a smile, "Every time the lady sends someone to deliver fish, the guardhouse will be busy for two days."
Liu Yu frowned: "No way, how many fish would that take!"
Before they could finish their words, they all stood still. An old soldier took out a knife from behind him and said, "There is a smell of blood!" Several people looked alert.
Liu skillfully took out a face towel from her bosom, cursing, "I told them to kill the fish somewhere else, but they refused to listen. The smell is so suffocating that it's killing me."
One of them winked at the back, and the formation of several people changed quietly.
Liu Yu felt relieved because he saw footprints on the ground, which showed a path that was created by actual steps.
"Wow, this taste is comparable to..." Someone's expression changed slightly, obviously thinking of something bad.
But no one refuted. They felt a little uneasy. The fishy smell mixed with the water vapor from the river bank penetrated into their noses.
Liu looked at her brother, whose face was pale, and took out a face towel from her bosom and handed it to him: "Put it on, or today's shower will be in vain!"
Everyone smiled.
Gradually, more and more people were talking. Everyone quickened their pace, gradually forming some guesses in their minds, and turned around a reed marsh.
Under the grey sky, three large ships were lying quietly on the river like giant beasts. A narrow wooden pier stretched out from the shore, just enough to reach the ships.
From a distance, one could see baskets of fish being hoisted down from the boat, and then someone would push a cart to take them.
The people in the guard post were moving things. The men were moving goods, while the women and children were killing fish by the river. The muddy ground by the river had turned purple.
"What a big ship!" Everyone exclaimed. Before they even got close, they heard the captain's voice: "Can you move the dock a little further forward? It takes half a day to unload each ship! Make it longer so that all three ships can be unloaded at once!"
He looked impatient, as if he owed 1.8 million. But the busy people were not angry.
Liu Yu's face darkened slightly. The flag of the Cui family was flying on the boat. Could it be that all these fish were bought by the lady? How much would it cost? Several old soldiers seemed to have thought of something.
Before Liu Yu could speak, he heard his brother-in-law's voice: "Hey, Yang Cangtou, every time you come here, you unload thousands of pounds of fish. We are so busy with so few people. It's good enough that we can build a road for you."
The tone was unyielding, and the boss blushed. "Can't you hire someone to fix it?"
These soldiers are so difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the cold weather and the risk of getting sick from going into the water, they wouldn't have planned to build this small pier!
But when he thought that these were all subordinates of the mistress of Xie family, he swallowed his anger again. After all, it was the mistress who gave him so much money!
Liu Yu saw the captain being mocked by his brother-in-law. His face changed several times and he forced out an ugly smile. "Captain Niu, this is not my request. The boss gave the order yesterday. We need to add more ships!"
"If a few more ships come in the future," he pointed to the dock supported by driftwood that was only wide enough for two people to pass through, and said helplessly, "If they want to transport heavy objects, how long do you think this thing can last?"
When Niu Er heard the word "heavy object", he paused, as if he thought of something, and nodded quickly and said, "Fix it, I'll fix it right away." After saying that, he patted his head, feeling a little annoyed.
It's over. If the lady knew that I didn't repair the dock to save money, she wouldn't ask me to dig coal!
".
"Don't worry, Boss Yang, we will definitely build a spacious one this time. Please bear with me!" He said with a flattering look on his face. Don't make trouble before the dock is repaired.
Liu Yu and his friends were even more confused after watching the two exchange words. So after all this fuss, these fish belonged to the lady?
"Yes, didn't the lady specifically ask us to come here to deliver the fish? She said she wanted to give you a snack!"
When everyone heard this, they lowered their heads, somewhat at a loss. Liu pushed Liu Yu and said, "What are you standing there for? Help me!"
The veterans' hearts, tempered by the battles, gradually warmed up. They rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward to help. With hopeful expressions on their faces, they naturally blended in.
