"Lao Luo, don't tell me, with your Lao Luo's eyes, you have not shown any of these people, and have not arranged some people to prepare for the future?"

"How could that be... it's here."

While speaking, we reached the front end of the dock.

On the river, there are many ships, connected everywhere, allowing you to walk from the first boat as if you were walking on flat ground to the last boat.

Luo Yingjie stopped talking, but looked at it carefully. After searching, he took Zhang Qingshan and the others to board a fishing boat and shuttled through the deck of the ships that were together...

"Lao Luo, where is Boss Peng? There are not a hundred or eighty boats here, and it looks almost the same. We are so aimless and when will we find it? Otherwise, I will go and inquire?"

It is a rule that you don’t have a boat at night - in addition to traveling across the river, there are also many prostitutes on fishing boats rowing the boats to attract business. Therefore, there are many boats gathered on the dock now. But at first glance, almost all of them are fishing boats of similar sizes, but Lao Luo didn’t ask others. So, after walking seven or eight boats, Zhou Baoyu couldn’t help asking.

"Don't! Don't ask, there are many rules here. If you ask randomly, there will be big problems."

Immediately, Luo Yingjie explained in a low voice as he walked.

There are indeed many rules here. For example, don’t you see that the fishing boats here seem to be docking randomly, but they are actually very particular. The more you go to the big wharf, the more you go to the front of the big wharf, the more you are at the forefront of the day, but at night, it’s just the opposite. And the more you go to the opposite bank of the river, at night, the more you have the status and status among the fishermen, the more you are. For example, this can be the docking place for merchant ships during the day, but at night, merchant ships must lean to both sides, and the middle can only be a place for fishing boats for fishermen to rest, which is expensive.

Also, even if they walk on the decks of various boats, even if they encounter fishermen, the fishermen will look at them at most and will not ask, but will acquiesce them to pass through their own decks. Because there is a hidden rule here: those who know the rules will naturally tell where the ship is where the person they are looking for. Those who don’t know the rules will inquire randomly will be strangers, which will guarantee that they will cause trouble - this is a means for the fishermen to protect themselves.

Therefore, Luo Yingjie quickly stopped Zhou Baoyu from inquiring: Even if you said that it was your first time to come to discuss business with someone, why did you go back? Isn’t it okay to talk to someone on the fishing boats near the dock? But if you say you want to discuss business with someone, it would be more troublesome and more likely to make people suspect: if you are an acquaintance, he didn’t tell you the rules? Anyway, there are many rules here, and you don’t know anything, and you don’t know what you don’t know. Now, I’m absolutely right to hear Luo Yingjie.

Hearing these rules, Zhou Baoyu became interested. He followed him and asked in a low voice: "Brother Luo, how do you know which boat the person you are looking for is on?"

"At this time, when we came here to find people, all of whom were found among the fishing people, they could only walk in the middle of the river. So, when we passed by the fishing boats near the pier, they didn't ask or stop them. When we arrived at the place, we looked at the lanterns hanging on the masts of the fishing boats."

"lantern?"

Zhou Baoyu looked up in confusion, and sure enough, a few lanterns were hanging on the mast from afar, swaying in the air with the wind.

Zhang Qingshan and others also observed curiously, but Zhang Qingshan was very sensitive to the fact that although these lanterns were similar, they were hung at high and low. Moreover, most of the lanterns were light yellow in the dark, but there were several lanterns covered with other colors, probably white, so they looked brighter. Here, the red lanterns were hung with signs of prostitutes picking up customers.

He immediately whispered these two doubts to Luo Yingjie to answer.

Only then did I learn that this is a way to distinguish the status of the fishermen and the subordinates of the people and a means of communication for transmitting messages... Luo Yingjie's way to use a branch to transmit messages is to be inspired by this.

Anyone who hangs lanterns on the masts has status among the fishermen. There are also differences among them. Those lanterns made of white paper are fishing boats led by the fishermen. Around the fishing boats led by the fishermen, there will inevitably be a fishing boat of his confidant, just to hang together, or to declare who is in charge of the water. Therefore, whenever a familiar person arrives here, as long as he sees whether the people around the white lanterns are familiar with, he can determine who the leader is. Moreover, when he arrives here, he can inquire.

The height of the lantern hanging position is also important: when you have nothing to do, hang the lantern at the highest point of the mast, but once you have something to do, for example, when a guest comes, hang the lantern in the middle of the mast. Once it is halfway up the mast, the main meaning is to remind your subordinates in the surrounding fishing boats that when the guests come on the boat, everyone will cheer up. If the fire is combined, everyone will also be prepared. When the matter is over, if the lantern is not raised to the highest level in time, or the boss does not send the guests out, the subordinates will definitely check it out as soon as possible... Anyway, there are many detailed meanings here, and it is difficult to explain clearly.

Zhang Qingshan and others were very lucky. Although they couldn't remember how many decks of ships they had passed, when there were fewer and fewer fishing boats in front of them, when they finally saw the river surface, Luo Yingjie glanced and immediately walked towards a fishing boat with white lanterns seven or eight meters away.

There was a person sitting on both sides of the closed cabin door of the fishing boat: a girl sitting on the left was rubbing thread with her hands, lowering her head, rubbing her very seriously, but her mouth kept nagging something with the flat-headed young man on the right. It was late autumn, but the young man on the right was only wearing a vest, revealing his strong muscles, allowing the autumn wind to caress him gently. He held a whetstone in his left hand, and a big machete in his right hand, which was grinding the blade one after another. Obviously, this young man was a dislike, listening quietly to the girl's nagging. When he was asked anxiously, he replied occasionally, with a very pleasing word like gold.

When they saw two people who looked like they were running on the dock boarding the boat, and there were five people waiting behind them as if they were on guard. The weapons were exposed, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the girl and the young man.

"Who are you looking for?"

The girl asked this normally, but the problem was that she put down the needle and thread basket in her hand with her left hand, but put her right hand on her back. After standing up and asking questions, she looked at Zhang Qingshan and Luo Yingjie lukewarmly, but she gave people the aura of fighting whenever she had disagreement. The young man just glanced at Zhang Qingshan and the others and continued to sharpen the knife. However, the murderous aura on his body suddenly made Zhang Qingshan and Luo Yingjie clearly feel that this person is very confident in his martial arts... Even a woman dares to fight with someone with a knife. As Luo Yingjie said, the people of the fisherman are really extremely fierce.

"Xiao Yingzi, when will you get rid of your harsh problem? Otherwise, if you continue to be so harsh, how can you get married in the future? I am really worried about your future husband."

"Are you?" Peng Cuiying was obviously confused by the joke that only those who were very familiar with Luo Yingjie would make. She felt a little at a loss for a moment, showing the simple side of the fisherman's children... Luo Yingjie put on makeup, not only changed his previous white face, but also turned into a thick bearded uncle. Perhaps to joke with the brother and sister, he even deliberately changed his voice, and it was normal that the other party didn't recognize him for a while.

Even the acquaintance didn't recognize him for a while. Luo Yingjie was obviously very satisfied with his makeup. He immediately smiled at the young man who had stopped sharpening his knife and was looking at him in surprise and suspicion: "Gozi, if you dare to play with your broken knife again, what I promised you will be gone~!"

Gouzi was so shocked that his chin was about to fall off. He frowned and looked at Luo Yingjie. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he jumped up and rushed towards Luo Yingjie, shouting: "You are Uncle Luo. Ha! Ha! You are Uncle Luo."

The sincere welcome and warm welcome are clear at a glance, which is a world of difference from the previous vigilance.

Peng Cuiying, who was beside him, immediately showed a flower-like smile, ran over and said with a smile: "Brother Luo, why are you wearing makeup like this? We can't recognize you, and we thought that a villain was coming."

One of the brothers and sisters was named Uncle Luo and the other was named Brother Luo. This name was really dizzy. At least, Zhang Qingshan swept the three of them with a puzzled look, looking like a curious baby.

Before Luo Yingjie could speak, Xiao Yingzi mischievously reached out and took off the thick beard on his face, making Luo Yingjie scold her with laughter and cry, "Naughty!", and then handed the gift in his hand to Xiao Yingzi and said, "Call uncle, what do you think of calling brother?"

"You are only eleven years older than me, less than one round, why should I call you uncle?"

Perhaps they often bickered like this. After Luo Yingjie said something, he was too lazy to argue with her about this issue. Instead, he smiled at Gouzi and said, "Are you here with your elder brother?"

"Here! I drank some wine and just went to bed."

In this regard, Luo Yingjie knew that Boss Peng had arthritis and developed the habit of drinking a few sips of wine before going to bed. He didn't find it strange: people who traveled on boats, especially those who have lived on fishing boats all their lives, are generally prone to arthritis. Drinking some wine before going to bed can make it warm.

"Brother Luo, have you promised me something?"

Seeing Xiao Yingzi pulling his sleeve with his left hand and reaching his right hand in front of him, Luo Yingjie had to take out a box cannon from behind, then take out two magazines from his pocket, and hand them to her, instructing him: "Xiao Yingzi, it's hard for girls to get married when playing with guns. You play secretly, don't let your father see it, otherwise he will scold me and say I've taken you apart."

"I know, I promise not to tell him." As he said that, he narrowed his eyes and looked at his brother beside him.

Although Gouzi doesn't like to talk, he is not stupid. As soon as he sees this threatening look, he immediately shook his head and said, "Don't say it."

Xiao Yingzi then laughed. After nodding at Zhang Qingshan, he brought the gift given to her by Luo Yingjie.

At this moment, the dog said secretly: "Brother Luo, my one..."

Luo Yingjie immediately looked around and looked around with serious matters, then took out four magazines from his pocket, and secretly stuffed them to him, whispering: "You have to save money."

Gouzi nodded. After Luo Yingjie and Zhang Qingshan entered the cabin, he lowered the white lantern halfway from the mast. He did not forget to nod to Xiang Tao and others who were alert outside, and smiled...
