The thin monkey went to inform xiaobaoshan, and xiaobaoshan came soon.
Xiao Baoshan didn't speak, but looked at Xing San. His face said: what are you looking for me?
Xing San suddenly laughed.
He knows that xiaobaoshan is good at martial arts and stubborn, but there is one more thing: xiaobaoshan is honest. He eats soft rather than hard. As long as he has a good attitude, he can hold him to death.
"Baoshan, have you done well on the wharf recently?" Punishment three questions.
"OK." Xiaobao mountain road.
"Are you willing to take some private work?" Xing San asked, "for example, following a boat or something?"
Xiaobaoshan's main task now is to see the wharf, and "following the ship" is equivalent to pressing darts.
There are bandits and thieves on land, and there are also water thieves on water. Water thieves will stare at the goods on the ship and rob when people are not prepared. Some businessmen will find more ship followers to deter water thieves.
Xiao Baoshan said directly, "yes."
He knew that there was an income from following the ship. After the success of following the ship, the merchant would give the money directly to the people who followed the ship.
But Xing San stopped talking at this time. He only squinted at Xiao Baoshan with a smile.
Xiao Baoshan knew that Xing San wanted to get some points. He knew the rule, so he directly asked Xing San, "how much do you want?"
Unspoken rules on the wharf: after the ship is finished, they should give some money to the management of the wharf. As for how much they give, they can agree on their own.
Xing San patted Xiao Baoshan on the shoulder and suddenly said with a smile, "you still know the rules. A businessman from Fujian Province came to me two days ago and said he would go back and forth with a boat to the wharf over there for about six days. The reward is eight Liang silver per person. How about four Liang for you and four Liang for me?"
Half?
Even the thin monkey was surprised.
Xing San, this is the lion's big mouth. Is it a little too much?
But Xing San looked at xiaobaoshan without changing his face. He expected that xiaobaoshan would not bargain as long as he didn't fight against xiaobaoshan.
"Baoshan, the businessman from Fujian Province was my first acquaintance. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't know him, would you? I don't think four Liang silver is much. Besides, you follow the businessman from Fujian Province, and you can make four Liang net in just six days. Why not?"
Xing San continues to bargain.
Xiao Baoshan agreed: "yes, when is the ship time?"
"Just tomorrow afternoon." Three punishments.
After Xiao Baoshan turned and left, the thin monkey said to Xing San, "boss, did you... Smoke too much?"
"Is there much?" Xing San said, "isn't what I just said reasonable? If it weren't for me, where would he go to meet any businessmen in Fujian?"
"But I've heard that there are water thieves on the road in the middle of Fujian Province, and those water thieves are particularly rampant. There won't be any danger when xiaobaoshan goes?"
"It depends on his nature!" When Xing San finished, he looked at the thin monkey unhappily: "Why are you worried about so many things? Don't you hurry to take care of your territory."
"Here, here!"
……
At noon the next day, Xiao Baoshan got on the boat of businessmen from Nafu Province as promised.
The merchant's name is Wen Lei. Now the goods transported are a batch of iron and expensive goods.
When Wen Lei saw xiaobaoshan for the first time, he didn't trust xiaobaoshan at first, but when he saw that xiaobaoshan was so tall and strong like a cow, he asked xiaobaoshan, "have you ever practiced? How many can one play?"
"Practiced!" Xiao Baoshan said, "how many you can play depends on your opponent's skill."
Wen Lei touched xiaobaoshan's arm again until he touched the bulging triceps and biceps of xiaobaoshan. He said, "well, then you'll follow us. I heard from Xing San that you can play very well. I hope he didn't introduce the wrong person to me."
Xiao Baoshan got on Wen Lei's boat.
This ship is an ordinary commercial ship. There are goods covered with oil paper cloth on the ship. The cabin is under the bottom of the ship. There are two rooms in which four or five people can sleep.
Since the departure from Qinghe County wharf, the ship has been very smooth.
Xiaobaoshan sits on the deck during the day and sleeps in the cabin at night. The river was foggy, but he looked very calm.
The food is also solved on the ship. Because Wen Lei is worried about complications, he won't let him get off the ship even if he passes through some docks on the way. He eats dry food on the ship.
Xiaobaoshan also ate dry food.
On the night of approaching the boundary of Fujian Province, Xiao Baoshan suddenly felt that the ship seemed to move. Realizing that it was bad, he immediately flew to the deck.
But then he heard the "whoosh" arrow. Xiao Baoshan immediately protected the people on the ship to the cabin. After everyone arrived, he asked the people in the cabin to keep quiet.
And he took a baffle and returned to the deck.
It was so dark that I could see nothing but the lantern light on the deck.
What's more troublesome is that even the lanterns have been shot down by the water thieves.
Xiaobaoshan did not panic, but listened to the voice and argued in the dark.
Archery and human voice come from the same direction, but there should be water thieves under the bottom of the ship.
Water thieves come to rob goods. The order is to kill people and then rob the ship. Generally, they won't damage the ship, so xiaobaoshan doesn't worry about the ship being damaged.
He just waited quietly for the water thief to get on board.
Finally, a sound came from the stern. It was the sound of a wet man climbing up the deck.
In the dark, Xiao Baoshan quickly reached that direction like a ghost. After touching the man's neck, he twisted it off.
Once these water thieves take the road of bandits, even if they are locked up in the government, they will never mend their ways. Xiao Baoshan doesn't mind sending them to the West.
Besides, they are not ordinary thieves. If they steal something on the street, they can be locked up and educated, but these water thieves have murder cases. No matter how they are detained, their hearts are black.
After finishing this, xiaobaoshan heard someone climb up again. He floated to the man again, so and so, until there was no sound at the bottom of the water.
The thief ship is not far away.
Their plan is to send sailors over first, touch the ship here, kill the people on board, and then the people on board can get on board.
But their arrows had been released, and the sailors had come, but there was no movement on the merchant ship.
After a long time, someone shouted, "Hello, where are you?"
There was no sound on the empty river.
The thief ship was quiet again. The people on board felt very strange. Even if their sailors were killed, at least a few screams would come out.
Therefore, the people on the thief ship lit a torch, and the fire also lit up the merchant ship.
But the merchant ship was still quiet, with no lights and no one moving around, as if it were a ghost ship.
The water thief was so brave that he rowed quietly towards the merchant ship. There were at least ten people on the pirate ship. When they got close to the merchant ship, they found that the merchant ship was still quiet.
So, another bold man climbed onto the merchant ship with a knife
