Chapter 123 Unexpected Gain
Yu Xiaotian thought that everything was over and was about to say goodbye again, but Li said, "Don't worry, there are still a few people who want to take it to the shopkeeper!" In addition, after going back, the shopkeeper is tired of sending these meat tickets to the place agreed before on land. Someone will wait there, and the redemption money will be handed over to the shopkeeper later.
Yu Xiaotian said, you, stewor Li, have something to say at once. How can you squeeze out a little bit at a time like squeezing toothpaste? And this time, Mr. Li didn't say who took him away, but asked him to send the meat ticket to the designated place for trading. It can be seen that the Li family has contacted him about the ransom of meat ticket transaction. So he just gave his head helplessly and asked, "I don't know what these people do?"
Li Guanshi shook his head and said, "The shopkeeper Yu just took the people away first. When he went back, the shopkeeper naturally knew that it was definitely what the shopkeeper wanted!"
Yu Xiaotian's heart moved, so he didn't ask much. He nodded and agreed. Then he left again and was personally sent to the trestle by Mr. Li. At this time, Mr. Li had sent someone to send those women and several men to the ship first, handed them to the Meng madman on the ship, and hid them in the cabin.
At this time, it was getting late, and all the warehouses on the island had lit the lights. During the day, even here, the Li family would not send people to the ship so swaggeringly. Once it is known, it is inevitable that the Li family will buy and sell people, so this kind of thing can only be carried out at night, so as to cover people's ears. Take a look.
Originally, Meng Madman thought that Yu Xiaotian would rest on the island and leave tomorrow morning, but after seeing Yu Xiaotian return to the ship, he knew that Yu Xiaotian would not stay here for the night, and immediately greeted everyone on the ship to set anchor and sail.
When the ship went to the place where the lights of Dalian Island could not be seen, Yu Xiaotian walked into the cabin. There were ten men in one of the cabins, which was also Yu Xiaotian's most concerned thing. Women are easy to say, but the Li family gave him a man. If the identities of these men are not clear, he will not be assured.
"Who are you and why were you sent to my ship?" Yu Xiaotian walked into the cabin, lit the lanterns, glanced at the ten men crowded in the cabin and asked them.
A young man who was about 17 or 18 years old looked very nervous, pulling four teenagers younger than him, with a trace of panic in his eyes, and carefully replied, "The little one is Wu Yuan, my father Wu Cheng! Dare to ask, are you the good man who sent someone to send money to our family?
After listening to Yu Xiaotian, he was slightly stunned. The name Wu Cheng was both familiar and a little strange. For a moment, he didn't immediately remember who it was.
After hearing this, Liu Laoliu, who followed him, immediately reacted and pointed to the later life and asked, "Do you think you are Wu Cheng's son?" People from Wujiazhuang, Fu'an County?"
The descendant who claimed to be Wu Cheng quickly nodded and said, "The youngest is from Wujiazhuang, and his father is Wu Cheng!"
After Yu Xiaotian thought about it for a while, suddenly the image of a middle-aged man with a white beard jumped into his mind. He immediately understood the identity of this descendant and asked with a little surprise, "Are you Wu Cheng's son?"
The posterior nodded affirmatively again.
Yu Xiaotian and Liu Laoliu were too surprised, because they all knew Wu Cheng, who was a man who worked for the Liu family on this ship, but when they met pirates, they had been killed by pirates.
They never thought that Wu Cheng's son would be at Li's house and was sent to his ship by the Li family.
So Liu Laoliu quickly asked for Yu Xiaotian, "So how did you get here?" What does these people have to do with you?
Wu Yuan, the descendant, asked tentatively, "Do you dare to ask if this is the sixth uncle?"
Liu Laoliu nodded quickly and said, "That's right! I'm Liu Laoliu! I used to work for the Liu family on this ship with your father!"
As soon as Wu Yuan heard this, he cried and knelt down in front of Liu Laoliu and said, "My nephew kowtowed to Uncle Six!" I finally found Uncle Six! ......”
The teenagers who followed Wu Yuan also knelt down and cried together, which made Liu Laoliu confused. They quickly pulled them up one by one and comforted them for a long time before they gradually figured out their identities and origins.
It turned out that Wu Yuan and five other teenagers were actually the sons of the boatman who worked for the Liu family. After the accident of the Liu family's boat, they couldn't wait for their father to come home, so they found the Liu family to inquire about the news, but it was okay if they didn't inquire about it.
The matter still needs to start from the Jiang family being attacked by Yu Xiaotian. At the beginning, Li Yuzi denounced Liu and Yu Xiaotian, and defiled them as pirates and seized the Liu family's boat. Jiang Baihu captured Erya, who is now Lan'er, and also tried to take the Liu family's ship goods.
However, he didn't expect that Yu Xiaotian led people to take the lead and kill Jiang Baihu and Li Yuzi, but later the news spread in Fu'an and reached the ears of the Liu family.
Only then did the Liu family know that their shopkeeper was dead. The newspaper asked the government to help them punish Liu Laoliu, Yu Xiaotian and others, but because Li Yuzi was dead, the people of the Jiang family could not tell who had robbed their ship, so they came and overturned a boat, and for the others for the Liu family The boatman was regarded as a group of Liu Laoliu.
Not only did he not settle the wages for their families, give pensions to these boatmen' families, but also sued them to the government office. The government office was indiscriminately. Under the circumstances of not being able to find out the truth, they could not catch Liu Laoliu and the people of Xiaohuangdao. They were angry with these boatmen' families and some boatmen's brothers were even detained. The crime of thieves was arrested by the government, and most of the boatman's family was forced to be desperate by the government and the Liu family. Wu Yuan's mother was forced to hang herself alive.
And Wu Yuan himself was also arrested by the government. After being imprisoned for more than two months, he was released because he could not ask anything, and his mother had already hanged himself at this time, leaving Wu Yuan alone in the family.
A few years ago, the Li family sent people to Fu'an. According to the address of the list given to them by Liu Laoliu, they found the homes of the boatmen one by one, handed them pensions, and informed them of their men's death.
After several boatman's orphans and widows got this pension, they also learned the news of their stewir' death, and they were even more sad. After Wu Yuan got the pension given to their family by Liu Laoliu, he thought about it and decided to go to Liu Laoliu. Later, because he was older, Several women from the boatman's family also handed over their son to Wu Yuan and asked him to take them to Liu Laoliu, at least to find a way to live.
So Wu Yuan followed the Li family with four other little men to Lianjiang County and was transferred to Dalian Island, which was equivalent to Xiaotian's boat. This time, he was sent to the boat together and handed over to Yu Xiaotian and Liu Laoliu.
After learning about this situation, Yu Xiaotian and Liu Laoliu sighed and comforted Wu Yuan and other teenagers to reassure them. Anyway, this incident has an inseparable relationship with them. To some extent, it was also caused by them, so Yu Xiaotian promised that he would treat them well. These teenagers will let them stay on Treasure Island in the future.
It was not until after appeasing Wu Yuan and other teenagers that Yu Xiaotian turned his attention to the remaining men. These men were obviously not all the way with Wu Yuan and others. They had been squatting next to them without saying anything, so Yu Xiaotian asked them their identity and origin again.
Until this time, a middle-aged man knelt down and replied, "Little Guo Fu, I have seen the big man! The small one and these people are all from Quanzhou. They used to work in a boat house in Quanzhou, specializing in repairing ships and shipbuilding for people.
Two months ago, after the young master of the owner was drunk, he broke into the small house and ruined the little daughter, forcing my poor daughter to jump into the well. After the little one learned about it, he wanted to go to the government to sue, but the owner only wanted to keep his son and pressed it at this time, and threatened the small one. Don't sue the official, otherwise You can't spare a small family!
In anger, the little one took his son and land and hid in the young master on his way home and beat him painfully. Unexpectedly, the guy couldn't help beating him. Unexpectedly, he was killed by us on the spot a few times. After causing such trouble, the little one knew that if he continued to stay in Quanzhou, his life would be unpreserving, and he had no choice but to stay overnight. He fled Quanzhou with his son and apprentice! He fled to Fuzhou.
Later, I was taken in by the shopkeeper of the Li family, but I was not arrested by the government. The shopkeeper Li was pitiful and told the small one that he could arrange a way out for me. We had no choice but to agree and hope that the big family would take him in! I am willing to serve the big head in the future!"
After listening to this, Yu Xiaotian almost didn't have fun on the spot. No wonder Li secretly refused to tell him the identity of these people. It turned out that these people were all boatmen. This was really when he was dozed off, someone handed him a pillow!
The last time he came, he actually talked to the Li family and wanted to find a shipmaker who could repair the ship. They have been working at sea all year round and can't guarantee that the ship will not be damaged. Once the ship is damaged, it will be difficult for them to repair it by themselves. Even if it is barely repaired, it is only temporary to deal with and cannot ensure the safety of the ship.
Now he has captured Zhou Cheng's bird boat and has been leaving it on the island. One reason is that he has been busy building the village for two months. Another reason is that he has no technology and labor to completely repair the boat. The original carpenter he caught is actually very poor and can only do a little rough carpentry work. I have the ability to fix the boat.
Yu Xiaotian even thought that when he went back to build a house, he demolished the bird boat and used the wood to build the house, so as not to soak in the sea all the time, waiting for it to rot or be decayed by the sea maggots.
Now the Li family has actually brought him so many boatmen. This ship has been saved. As long as the ship is repaired, he has two boats that can be used to go to sea to work. His strength is equal to double, and it will be easier to act at sea in the future.
So he quickly nodded and agreed, and sat down and chatted with the boatman very often. After talking, he learned that the boatman named Guo Fu had two sons under his knees, who had also followed him to build ships since he was a child. Now he is now in his teens and can help his father work. And his wife died in childbirth when she gave birth to her youngest son, and his family was poor and has never continued.
And the other two who followed Guo Fu were also his apprentices. Because the master's daughter was humiliated and committed suicide, they were very angry and helped Guo Fu beat the young master regardless of the consequences. As a result, they killed the young master of the owner and caused a terrible disaster, so they could only run away with their master. Now they also I had to follow.
This time, Yu Xiaotian is equivalent to getting five subordinates who can repair ships and shipbuilding. In the future, there is no need to worry about repairing ships. This is great good news for Xiaotian. It is more affordable than the Li family giving them hundreds of taels of silver.
In fact, the Li family also made a favor this time. They did not spend money and met the needs of Yu Xiaotian, and it was worth the silver reward they promised at the beginning. This transaction is very happy and cost-effective for both of them. It can be seen that the Li family does have something to do business and think about what people think. At the same time, it also saved them a lot of money.
After returning to the island, Yu Xiaotian did not send these ten people to the isolation camp for isolation. He just burned their clothes, let people boil water, washed them well, and let them take a few pairs of commonly used soup, beat the parasites that may be in their stomachs, and placed them. In the stockade.
At this time, Zhao Mazi and Li Gouzi, who stayed in the stockade, had also taken advantage of Yu Xiaotian's time to go to sea and began to build houses in the village with the rest of the village. Some burned houses were soon built again. Anyway, their housing materials are simple and easy to build. There are many empty houses in the stockade. A new house was soon built.
And Yu Xiaotian did not delay. After returning to the island and explaining something, he took people on the boat again and headed for Nanri Island. If it was too late, they estimated that they would not be able to get to the wharf of Nanri Island to worship Zhang Hu before the festival. In that case, it may offend Zhang Hu, and it would also make Wang Hong more difficult.
Although Yu Xiaotian's strength has temporarily increased a lot, compared with the shark Zhang Hu, his strength is still very small, which is not enough to compete with Zhang Hu, so it is also necessary to show his good for the time being. This is also a handsome hero!
