C648 A Storm in the Cabin

Upon hearing Master Wang's words, Du Qi couldn't help but laugh. What did it matter if this Guo Qingshan was the Guo Qingshan that Shen Luoqiang had mentioned? Why did he have to think about this question? This time, he was bored in the water and played with his heart for a moment. Coincidentally, he had broken into this boat of right and wrong. Could it be that the master of the underworld had arranged for him to meddle in this matter? However, this sudden change had caused Du Qi to secretly swear that from now on... He would decide his own fate. He would not listen to anyone's arrangements and orders. However, could he just watch Master Hee, Hee Dazhuang, do whatever he wanted? This was something he absolutely couldn't allow. Thus, he could only sigh in his heart. He quickly said, "I can live alone in Jingzhou, because I have no place to live. After a good person introduced her, she found a boat to make a living. "

Just now, on the boat, Du Qi just said that he lived in Jingzhou. He didn't have any other intentions. Now that he said it again, he suddenly felt that it was a bit strange. There were so many places that he didn't want to talk about, why did he insist on living in the Jingzhou? Could it be because of the tranquility? He thought of Ning Jing, and then he thought of the people around him, and the things that happened in the past. Ever since Looh Miaoer left, it seemed like nothing had gone well. Even Luo Changhe, who had just gotten rid of a mere Luo Changhe with a shovel, had lost so many men. Moreover, they had to chase after him for thousands of miles before they could get what they wanted. When he thought of Looh Miaoer, Du Qi's heart couldn't help but hurt. If only Looh Miaoer was still here. It would be great if she was here. Perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

Seeing the pained expression on Du Qi's face, Master Wang thought that his question had touched upon Du Qi's sad heart. So he quickly smiled and said, "Young man, don't mind it. Living in this world, it is more likely to happen than to wish. As long as you live happily, it is better than anything! Let's go. Let's go eat. After eating, we still have to work!"

It was already afternoon. Most of the dishes ordered by the guests on the ship had already been delivered. It was the most idle time in the kitchen. The chefs and cooks had to hurry to eat lunch at this time. After the meal, they had to wash the bowls and chopsticks that they had collected and prepare dinner. The busiest people in the kitchen were the chefs, and the busiest of the chefs were the wheaten food masters. Master Wang was the only wheaten food master on the ship, and Du Qi was Master Wang's hand. Naturally, he was the busiest one. Luckily, Du Qi was a martial artist. It was not difficult to carry flour and water. He would be able to hold it in a pot, add firewood, and start a fire with ease. Naturally, the work was done in an orderly manner. Even Master Wang, who was a little worried, could not help but feel happy. He really thought that Hee Zhuanggen had changed his mind and found a good helper for him.

Du Qi admitted that his physical strength was much stronger than the other chefs, but after half a day, he felt that it was too much to bear. When he finished his work at night and dragged his somewhat tired body back to the seventh cabin at the bottom floor of his residence, he saw that most of the other chefs had already returned. He lay limply on his own bed as if his bones and tendons had been pulled out. When they saw that he was about to enter, the chefs suddenly jumped up in unison. As if they had eaten some miraculous medicine, they immediately squeezed themselves into the narrow corridor that only allowed one person to pass through. The person in front was about 23 or 24 years old, and he was tall and big. One look and you could tell that he was a powerful man. He crossed his arms in front of his chest. He stood in front of Du Qi and looked at him coldly. He said coldly, "Newcomer!?"

Du Qi was shocked. He did not expect these people who lived at the bottom of the society to bully the weak like people in the martial world. They actually wanted to show off their strength to him, the newcomer. Du Qi saw that they were just ordinary people. He did not have any martial arts on him, so he thought that even with his current physical condition, it would not be difficult for him to deal with them. However, Du Qi wanted to figure out what they wanted to do and whether they were instructed by someone else to do so. Thus, he hurriedly replied, "Yes! I wonder what orders Big Brother has? "

The strong man still looked at Du Qi with his eyes slanted. He stretched out a big, fat palm and said, "Give it to me!"

Du Qi asked in confusion, "What?"

The man sneered and held the bracelet in front of his chest again. He snorted and said, "What what? You want to pretend, right? Go into the water and tell this kid what that is!"

As he spoke, the brawny man leaned his body to the side and leaned against the bed frame. Behind him, a man who looked to be about twenty-one or twenty years old, who looked rather refined, leaned his body to the side and squeezed in front of the strong man. Du Qi recognized that he was in charge of washing the internal organs of animals. He was mainly responsible for washing the stomach, intestines, and other things. It was a good nickname to go into the water!

He went into the water and came in front of Du Qi. He narrowed his eyes and sized Du Qi up. He suddenly rubbed his nose with the back of his hand and made a loud sound. He then tilted his head and stared at Du Qi. He put on a fake smile and said, "You are new and don't know the rules. We don't blame you. Now I will go into the water and tell you. In order to keep everyone safe, all newcomers had to pay protection fees. Do you know what that is now? "

Du Qi knew that this was only the opening statement, and the good show would come later, so he asked, "How much do you want to pay?"

Perhaps it was because Du Qi was so clever, but he could not help but say happily, "Not much, ten wen a day!"

Du Qi said in surprise, "Ten wen? I worked so hard to earn twelve or thirteen wens a day, and you want ten wens a day?"

He suddenly put on a stern face and said with a cold smile, "Too much? If you think too much, you can refuse to hand it over! "

Du Qi had never intended to really pay them, so when he heard the words "go into the water, Du Qi could not help but ask doubtfully, Can I not pay?"

"Of course we can. We are very fair and kind, and we will not force anyone. However, if anything happens to you in the future, just don't come to us!"

Du Qi naturally understood what went into the water meant, but he did not care and smiled. "Thank you for your kind reminder, big brother. I don't want to do anything bad. What will happen if I just work hard and earn some money?"

Going into the water was quite surprised and said, "It looks like you are not going to pay protection fees?"

Du Qi said, "Didn't big brother say that I can not pay? Why do you ask now?"

Hearing Du Qi's words, Shui Zhongshui could not help turning his head to look at the strong man. The brawny man shoved him behind his back and stared fiercely at Du Qi. Suddenly, he put on a smiling face and said kindly, "Actually, we are not after your few wens. It is just that it is not easy for us to earn money here. Each of us has a big family behind us. Moreover, they are all very poor people. Plus, there are a lot of conflicts on this ship. Once something happens, we can help each other and spend money. That's not a small amount. None of us can take out that much money at once, that's why we want everyone to come up with a little bit every day. That way, we can have money to deal with any situation. Since you don't want to, we won't force you! However, I still have to remind you that it is best to reconsider... If you return to me tomorrow night, you will be tired after a day of work. Quickly come in and rest! "
