Chapter 10 Shantytowns

"Ouch~"

The wailing voices of the three members of the Waterworkers Gang drew Escort Li's attention to the ground.

He stiffened for a moment, and his straight spine suddenly drooped.Quite a few points.

It was a long story, but it took less than half a quarter of an hour, and Wang Dayan's threatening words seemed to still ring in his ears.

Being threatened but not daring to act...

Escort Li looked in bewilderment at Wu Qing who had already walked to the door of the teahouse, no one dared to stop him,

He used to be so fast, ruthless, and decisive, when is he no longer?
Then he suddenly yelled at Wu Qing,
"Practice martial arts, just practice, don't take it too seriously, especially...don't treat it as the foundation of a family and a career."

"Ah."

Wu Qing, who sneered back, walked out of the gate of the teahouse without turning her head.

He can understand people who are in trouble because of frustration in life, but he is so cowardly that he blames others.He doesn't like it.

Escort Li didn't think this laughter was harsh, after all, it was just as condescending and condescending as Wu Qing's bowing smile at the beginning.

The only difference is that Wu Qing was still pretending at the beginning, because he saw through this, so he pretended to be vicious, but he was arrogant...

That's great!

The leader of Escort Li sent Wu Qing's back away, remained silent for a while, and then said to the owner of the teahouse,
"Let's unify, how much are the broken tables, chairs and tea bowls, I will compensate you."

The owner of the teahouse immediately wiped away his tears and smiled happily.

The strong wind blows from the southeast, causing large waves on the surface of the Dongshui Dahe River. The masts standing on the Dongshui Dahe River sometimes approach each other and sometimes move away with the surging water surface.The sky no longer saw faint cloud shadows, replaced by dark and heavy clouds, and the sky became dark.

By the time Wu Qing and Zhang Zaiqi left the teahouse, walked onto the pier road, and passed the patrolmen, there was already a drizzle of rain.

The guilty Zhang Ziqi had no intention of finding the eaves to hide from the rain, so he hurriedly dragged Wu Qing to walk quickly.

Fortunately, seeing that the heavy rain was about to fall, people around were in a hurry.

The rickshaw drivers erected the rain-proof tarpaulins on the back seats, and the anti-pack porters walked quickly, and the stalls were busy erecting water barriers.

Only then did the patrolmen not notice the two who fled past them.

The leading inspector walked into the Shuidong Teahouse with an elbow-action renzhu pistol, shouting loudly,

"Who is competing here? Do you know if it's out of date? You want to compete with my pistol, looking for trouble..."

The inspector's voice gradually became inaudible.

After walking two streets, Zhang Zaiqi heaved a sigh of relief and began to yell and curse.

"Poke his mother!"

After yelling and cursing, Zhang Zaiqi fell into considerable sorrow, he hissed,

"You won't be found by the plumber?"

He shook his head again, denying himself,

"How is it possible, we two little fish are here, looking for us, looking for a needle in a haystack."

Suddenly remembered again, and asked Wu Qingdao,
"You didn't give your name, did you?"

Wu Qing nodded.

"Poke his mother!"

Zhang Zaiqi yelled and cursed again, pinching his brains and turning his head, looking very irritable.

Obviously, Zhang Ziqi's club is not as powerful as Zhang Ziqi himself said.

Wu Qing knew why and asked,
"Cousin, didn't you say that your exchange gang is not a roadside gang, so you are so afraid of the plumber gang?"

"Then...that's another matter."

Zhang Ziqi argued,

"If you know how to fight, you know how to fight. You don't understand the things on the road... By the way, why didn't you ask who is the next person to have a wedding wine? I thought you were going to fight one by one? Instead, you asked who lost the sword. Kong Huyuan and Wei Enting?"

The rain was getting heavier and it was like a torrent, forcing Zhang Zaiqi and Wu Qing into the same roof.

Wu Qing glanced at the rainwater pouring down from the eaves like a waterfall, and said to Zhang Zai,
"I've asked the three banquet attendants, and I've almost answered what I should ask. It's useless to go on to the next one. Asking them one by one, how can I have so much free time. The rain is so heavy, I can't continue today, How about this, cousin, help me find out about Wei Enting and Kong Huyuan, and tell me tomorrow morning. You play the gong, and you are well informed.”

He didn't explain too much to Zhang Ziqi, it was too troublesome to explain, but he just wanted Zhang Ziqi to continue to help him find clues to Jiu Shoujian.Whether it is Kong Nuyuan or Wei Enting.Wu Qing only knew these two names.

Zhang Zaiqi smiled happily when he heard Wu Qingpeng's words, and didn't bother to ask any more.

After all, he led Wu Qing to find Jiu Shoujian so that Wu Qing could gain the approval of his clan leader and join his clan.Although I haven't found the sword now, I followed Wu Qing for a day and saw Wu Qing's skills.Zhang Zaiqi felt that it was not important whether he could find Jiu Shoujian or not, he grinned and said,
"The front is the communal house of our Changing Gang. The main reason for our gang is to know that I have recruited such a powerful master as you, so we must be very happy."

Wu Qing raised his eyes and looked around, and saw a large number of high and low shacks stretching southeast from Mud Avenue, and the tallest thing in the middle was a large factory chimney that spewed black smoke.

It turned out that the two of them said as they walked that they had reached the Shuidong shanty town in Yujiang.

Looking at the surrounding scene, Wu Qing didn't immediately reply to Zhang Ziqi's words, and the memories related to the original owner and this place emerged in his mind.

Yujiang water transport is well developed, and there are east and west rivers passing through Yujiang County and converging in Yujiang.Yujiang County has been a place of prosperity since ancient times.

It is located at the southern tip of Nanjiang Province.The thoroughfare of the three provinces, connecting Huai'an and Lingnan provinces, is known as the South Gate of Nanjiang Province.

It has been more than 15 years since the opening of the port during the Old Qian Dynasty. Although [-] years after the opening of the port, there were chaotic wars among the Thai and Western countries, which affected the Old Qian Dynasty and threw poisonous gas to isolate the Old Qian Dynasty from foreign countries. become.

Yujiang County is far more prosperous than ever.

In addition to the original old city, the three urban areas of Shuixi, Shuidong and Concession were gradually expanded.

Four districts with a combined population of more than [-]

There are two big rivers on the east and west sides of Yujiang Old City. The big river in the east is called Dongshui, and the big river in the west is called Xishui.

To the east of Dongshui is Shuidong.

In a broad sense, there are three land boundaries in Shuidong.

The section of Shuidongtie River is Pier Road, with [-] piers and dozens of factories.

Shuidong outside Pier Road is divided into two by an east-west mud road, with the concession area to the north and Shuidong shanty town to the south.Prosperity and filth are divided here.

Wharf Road is one kind of scenery, and the concession is another kind of scenery.Shuidong shanty town, no scenery, a mess.The residence of the lowest class.

The source of the shantytowns is that at the end of the dry season, factories were set up in the open fields of Shuidong, and then blindly flowed into the city to work and set up shelters near the major factories.

The huts made of straw, wood boards, tarpaulins and other materials of various colors, sizes, and lengths set the tone of chaos in the southeast of the water.

The inhabitants of the huts are porters, sailors, street vendors, laborers, prostitutes, blind people, pickpockets, gong players...

In such a location, it is conceivable that Zhang Ziqi's Changing Gang is definitely not a big gang.

But no matter whether it is a big gang or not, Wu Qing has no intention of being a gong player. Wu Qing is not the original owner.

Hearing Zhang Ziqi's words of solicitation, Wu Qing knew that Zhang Ziqi had misunderstood the matter of pulling Zhang Ziqi to find the sword earlier, and blamed Wu Qing for not explaining clearly, Wu Qing hadn't figured out how to reject Zhang Ziqi.
