Chapter 126(2/2)
"Woo——!!!"
The little boy was still looking at him eagerly, "Brother, don't go!"
Feng Wuli started to move his mouth, "Brother, be obedient. We can't just eat and drink from my sister all the time. I'll give you a wife when I dig out the gold!"
The little boy kept crying and scolding him, scolding him for not being a thing, and begging him not to leave.
But he had already followed the crowd and boarded the steel behemoth.
"Let's go back!"
He shouted to the young man under the boat and waved his hand: "Go back quickly! I will come back when my brother digs out the gold!"
The hull of the boat began to sway, and the whistle was honking again. Surrounded by young people or middle-aged people who were about the same age as him now, most of them spoke Cantonese and Hokkien. Feng Wuli couldn't understand it very well, but these young people had a look on their faces.
Full of smiles.
Some people said that they were lucky enough to catch up and get on the boat this time.
They laughed heartily and said that there was gold everywhere over there, and they would go dig it and come back.
Those who have made money are reluctant to come back. They cannot forget their roots.
The man possessed by Feng Wuli suddenly crowded to the side of the boat and said to the young man on the shore who was crying non-stop: "Brother! Wait for me to come back!"
"You must come back!"
"Go back quickly!"
There were more than twenty people crammed into a cabin of tens of square meters. The smell was really unpleasant, there were no windows, the light was dim, the smell of sweat and smelly feet were mixed together, and everyone in the cabin was talking happily and digging.
How to get gold.
The louder the voice, the calmer Feng Wuli's heart becomes.
Because he knew that there was no gold on the other side of the sea, at least not the gold they were looking for.
The great spring and autumn dreams of the people in this boat can be easily swallowed up like a floating leaf on the sea.
In the 19th century, the country was ups and downs. White people from another continent said that their land was filled with gold. Countless people boarded ships across the ocean, and a large number of ships loaded with Chinese workers were shipped to the other side of the Pacific.
The gold rush that was set off at that time swept through the cities along the East China Sea. What they didn't know was that the Chinese were treated like piglets and cheap labor because of their hard work, low wages, and low living standards.
Their pigtails were tied together and treated like slaves like animals.
No one expected them to survive; their purpose was to die in the mines and build the railroad.
Feng Wuli opened his mouth to say something, but when he opened his mouth, it turned into a smile. He smiled and talked to the people around him.
"When the time comes, I will also pick up a few pieces of gold and go back to marry my brother-in-law."
As soon as the scene changed, Feng Wuli realized that he had not come to a place full of gold.
The sound of clanging shovels hitting the ground could be heard all around.
