Chapter 634 Demonstration


Chapter 634 Demonstration

Niu Er leaned against the wall and basked in the sun.

After two consecutive days without any work, the rice vat at home has reached the bottom. If there is no more work today, the children will definitely go hungry tomorrow.

Niu Er is a bag carrier.

I have always made a living on the dock.

In the past, the boat dock in Danyang City was extremely prosperous. People like them who relied on their own strength never thought that one day they would have no bags to carry and no money to earn.

The sun was soft in the sky and had no strength at all. Niu Er tightened the hemp rope around his waist again, raised his collar, curled up into a ball, and moved as little as possible.

In the morning, my daughter-in-law cooked a pot of porridge and gave most of the porridge to herself. There were only a few grains of rice in the bowls of the two children, and my daughter-in-law only had a bowl of rice soup.

Because the daughter-in-law knows that carrying a bag is a strenuous job. If she doesn’t have enough to eat, she won’t have the energy to work. If she doesn’t have the energy to work, she won’t get any jobs, and the family will continue to starve.

I walked to the pier full of hope. Everywhere I looked, there were people everywhere who had the same hope of finding work.

But the pier was still empty.

The only boats parked were all painted boats. In the past, you could still hear the sound of silk and bamboo and the sound of women singing inside. During this time, there was no movement on the boats, and it seemed that business was also very bad.

When will this day get better?

Niu Er sighed.

Life is obviously going well, why can't we live in peace and quiet?

Why did they say that the Queen Mother was a devil from the Demon Cult? What did they say that the Queen Mother killed the late emperor?

Anyway, it was rumored everywhere in the streets and alleys. Niu Er listened to some stories from the storyteller outside the teahouse, but because he was not willing to spend two pennies to go in and drink tea, he was driven away by the nasty waiter.

Niu Er felt that what the storyteller Xingsheng said was too mysterious and he must be talking nonsense.

Anyway, he felt that his life had been much better than before in the past few years when the Queen Mother took charge of the house. Every now and then, he would still see something fishy in the house. Although it was mostly unwanted pigs, but after cleaning it, it was okay. Can be eaten as meat.

How could a poor family be so particular?

But now that the Queen Mother has been kicked out, life suddenly becomes difficult again.

"A ship is coming!" A roar of surprise came from his ears. Niu Er was excited and stood up as soon as he straightened up. Before he even opened his eyes, he had already grabbed the rope pole beside him with one hand. Then ran towards the pier.

There are many monks in the porridge, so many people are competing for work. If you can't squeeze in front, you won't be able to get any work.

While running, he looked towards Dajiang.

At this sight, Niu Er stopped.

That's not a cargo ship,

That's a warship.

In the past, warships actually did business. Those businesses were done at night and secretly, but they also paid a lot of money. Niu Er did it several times.

But if it's daytime, there's no need to think about it.

So Niu Er didn't want to waste all his efforts to squeeze, and squeezing also took effort, so he had to save what he had eaten in the morning to use when he was working!

So he returned to the wall, hugged the pole and narrowed his eyes.

So many warships!

There are at least more than a hundred ships.

Looking at more and more warships on the river, Niu Er couldn't help but stood up again,

Maybe there really is a business!

Although the business of being a soldier is not easy, now is not the time to pay attention to it.

It’s just that the flag on the ship is wrong!

Niu Er is illiterate, but he remembers that the word in the middle of the big flag on the navy warship stationed here some time ago has many strokes, but the word on the big flag that is getting closer and closer now is very simple. Like his surname Niu, there are only four strokes.

Niu Er can write his own surname.

Suddenly Niu Er saw the people on the boat running from the boat on the pier, and then running up the stone ladder as hard as they could.

Most of these people are women, wearing red and green, with voluptuous figures, and their faces painted like monkey butts. These people are now holding up their skirts and running very fast.

What is this for? Before Niu Er could figure it out, he saw more people running up below the pier, shouting as they ran: "Director Wang is here, Director Wang is here, run!"

Niu Er was also startled.

Director Wang still knows the name of those who make a living on the dock.

He was originally a high-ranking figure, but he suddenly became a rebel some time ago. His portrait was posted on the city gate as a wanted man, and his head was hung on the city wall for a long time before it was taken down.

Are you here for revenge?

Niu Er was not in a hurry to run, he was still some distance away from the lower pier!

The bells rang one after another, and the entire dock was in chaos.

Niu Er's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw a woman running and a bag fell from her body. However, the woman was running so fast that she didn't pay attention at all.

Niu Er ran over in the opposite direction, first stepped on the bag, then took advantage of the opportunity to squat down, picked up the bag, and opened it. He couldn't help but be elated. There were actually more than a dozen silver coins inside. He hurriedly Stuffed the bag into my purse.

People are running to the city.

Because the city gate is slowly closing at this time.

Niu Er was not in a hurry. His eyes wandered around the ground. Sure enough, not long after, he found another thing that fell on the ground. It was a copper hairpin. Although it was not worth much, it was more valuable than his wife's hairpin. The wooden fork in the hair also looks much better.

Above the river, Director Wang spread his legs and stood on the command platform on the top floor of the warship. He placed one hand on his hips and held a knife in the other. His bright red cloak was blown high by the river wind. Behind him, there were two rows of healthy soldiers. They were lined up in a figure of eight along the side of the ship, all like wolves and tigers.

Director Wang is back!

He looked up to the sky and roared!

The warship approached the dock from the center of the river.

There was a rustle of armor leaves behind him. Niu Er turned around and saw groups of soldiers coming out from both sides of the city wall and running towards the dock. There was a crashing sound in his ears, and a big stone suddenly He was thrown out from behind the city wall, flew far in the air, and then landed on the river with a roar and a big wave.

He quickly grabbed the pole and ran to the base of the city wall. There were many people there like Niu Er who had not had time to run back to the city before the city gate closed.

Everyone was huddled there, shivering.

Director Wang did not seem to see the threat to the warships from the stone bullets thrown from behind the city wall.

Jiang Fang in Danyang is too familiar to him.

Because that was what he and his father had arranged together. He knew exactly how far those giant trebuchets could hit.

So his warship moved forward without any scruples, and stopped just outside the range of the trebuchets in the city. Then, with an order from the ship, several stone bombs flew up and hit the dock.

The pitiful boats had several big holes smashed out in an instant. The river water gurgled out from below, and the boats slowly sank before their eyes.

Rockets shot over and set fire to other ships on the dock.

More and more soldiers gathered above the pier. Niu Er looked up and saw more soldiers on the city wall, but it seemed that no one could do anything.

Because the enemy is above the river.

On the city wall, Na Wei, Xiong Yi, Zhou Zheng and others came.

Things couldn't get any worse.

Director Wang's appearance here means that Chen Yan has failed again, and the last navy of Da Chu will no longer exist.

The other party is here to demonstrate.

Everyone's face looked like the bottom of a pot.

His face was swollen from the opponent's blow, but he had no way to fight back.

Do you expect the other party to come ashore?

Director Wang is not a fool.
