Chapter 1072 Fatty Ding's Team (12)
"Uncle Biao, Uncle Xiong.
You guys go back, no need to see us off.
We'll get on the car and leave now." Outside Wanshan County, Su Wu was in a team of Roman cars, waving goodbye to Li Xiongbiao and Li Xiongxiong who were standing in front of two donkey carts on the roadside.
Both of them smiled.
Li Xiongbiao looked at the Sanyang Society and Huangdao Society members gathered around Su Wu, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, it's still early, we'll wait here, and we'll go home after you leave."
As he spoke, Uncle Xiong beside him called a boy who was selling sesame cakes along the way, bought more than 20 sesame cakes, and distributed them to Su Wu and the people of the Sanyang Society and Huangdao Society.
At this time, the leader of the team came from the front and greeted the drivers of each carriage.
After calling several car owners over, he explained some things, and then led several car owners back to the car team, and said to the passengers and attendants in the car team: "Everyone, our car team is actually going to Dancheng, or it is gathered by eight car owners who happened to be on the way from Wanshan to Dancheng.
You are also going to various places along the way from Wanshan to Dancheng, so follow our car team.
I don't know if you have experience in traveling far away, but since we are all together, it is always a fate - we often travel around, and we know more about the rules and regulations of various places than ordinary people, so If you encounter any problems on the road, we still hope that everyone can listen to us first and do what we say.
We are traveling together, so let's not hurt each other's harmony.
We will send you to the destination safely, and you give us the silver, and that's it.
- But if you don't want to listen to us, and we don't allow you to go down the river, but you insist on going down the river, and we don't allow you to stay in the wild temple, but you insist on running to the wild temple - if something happens, you can't blame us!
Everyone, do you understand what I said? "
"I understand, I understand!"
"When are we leaving?"
"Hurry up, it's almost noon!"
The crowd clamored for a while.
The short, black and fat man in the lead smiled and said, "Okay! Let's set off now!
According to the previous agreement, brothers who have only paid one penny and are willing to serve as a guard in the caravan, come to me and I will assign you a job;
Those who have paid three pennies will sit in the four mule carts without a canopy at the back.
Those who have paid five pennies will sit in the three large canopy carriages in front!"
As soon as the short, black and fat man, often called 'Ding Pangzi', finished speaking, some people immediately squeezed into the canopy carriages in front to grab seats. Some people saw that the passengers in the three canopy carriages in front were about to be full, so they turned around and ran to the four donkey carts in the back.
Now it doesn't matter how much money has been paid.
No matter whether they are men, women, old or young, they are all struggling to grab a seat in the car.
There was a young woman holding a child. Seeing that everyone was rushing to the carriages, she was stunned for a moment before she thought of fighting for a seat in the covered carriage in front. Then a woman rushed past her and knocked her down, squeezing into the only remaining seat in the covered carriage.
In a blink of an eye, several carriages were full of people.
The woman holding the child got up from the ground, already covered in mud.
The three or four-year-old child in her arms was crying loudly, and there was a lot of mud on his back.
Now, except for Su Wu and the White Lotus Sect members around him, there was no one else standing in front of the convoy.
‘Fatty Ding’ glanced at the people standing in front of the convoy, and his eyes fell on the woman holding the child who was closest to him. The woman said with a miserable look: “I, I gave five cents of silver and bought a superior seat.”
As she spoke, she took out a bamboo sign from her purse.
The short, black and fat man did not even check the wooden sign in her hand, but just smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I watched you pay when you pay, I remember you."
When the woman heard him say that, she felt a little relieved and was about to say something.
Ding pointed to the three carriages with a canopy in front of her and said, "Just go to the carriage with a canopy in front and find a seat. I won't check your ticket."
"I, find a seat by myself?"
The woman stammered and looked up at the three carriages in front.
The people in the carriage looked at each other with their eyes and noses, and sat there calmly. No one wanted to move.
If it was an older and fierce woman, she could sit on other people in the car to fight for a seat for herself, but she was a young woman with a thin skin, how could she do such a thing?
But Ding's words clearly seemed to promise to provide her with a seat.
The other party seemed to have done nothing wrong.
She was at a loss for a moment and kept silent with her head down.
Wu Wenyuan, who was standing beside Su Wu, was furious when he saw this.
Li Xiongbiao and Li Xiongpi, who were standing on the side of the road, also came over. Li Xiongbiao shouted at the short, black and fat man: "What's wrong with you, fat man? You want to turn your face against me before you leave the city. Are you obsessed with money?
My nephew paid for a seat without a canopy. Now he has no place to sit for the one who paid more, but the one who paid less can sit steadily in the car. What's going on?!"
As Li Xiongbiao said, Su Wu bought a seat for three taels of silver in the motorcade.
Other members of the White Lotus Sect helped the motorcade share some of the guard work, and each person only gave one tael of silver.
Su Wu had enough money in his hand, so it was not difficult to buy a seat for everyone. However, the current situation of each carriage house and fleet meant that even if he had money, he would need someone to act as a guard.
Since there is more money and less money, nothing can be done about it, so it would be better to just give less money.
Wu Wenyuan and others felt that they were also followers of King Ming, and they did not object to such things.
Only Su Wu occupied a seat in the mule carriage without a shed.
"Hey, brother, just don't worry.
Since your nephew paid the corresponding price, I have to find him a good seat no matter what! Fatty Ding, still smiling, turned back to Su Wu and said, "Here, let me see your cards." "
Su Wu looked calm and handed a bamboo sign to the short black fat man.
After Fatty Ding checked the ticket, he pulled an old man from the uncovered mule cart at the back and asked Su Wu to sit on the vacant seat: "Come on, little brother, you can just sit here!"
The young woman also raised her head at this moment and bravely asked Fatty Ding, "Can you find a seat for me too?"
The previous experience of hitting a wall made her dare not even ask Fatty Ding to sit in a seat that matched her ticket price.
"Okay, okay!" Fatty Ding jumped out of the mule cart with a free seat at the back and shouted to the people in the front, "Come on, one of you get off and make room for this guest!"
He shouted like this without any specific direction. Who would listen to him?
They all sat firmly in their seats and pretended to be dead.
Fatty Ding didn't really want to arrange a seat for this young woman - he traveled all over the country, and with some discernment, he realized that this woman was not a local and had a child with her, so he decided to manipulate her!
The woman looked around and saw no one gave up her seat, so she lowered her head again.
At this time, Su Wu stared at Fatty Ding and suddenly said: "Don't you have a ticket stub?
Isn’t it clear who spent how much money and who should sit in which seat?
Now people spend money but can't buy the corresponding seats?
What's the point? "
"You young man, how can I not give her a seat?
Those people are already on the bus, how can I influence others? She is a guest, and so are others. How can a host offend other guests for the sake of one guest? Fatty Ding rolled his eyes and retorted directly, "If you don't like it, don't be my car!"
Anyway, in the convoy going to Dancheng area, I have been the only one making this trip in the past few months! "
He only told Su Wu not to build his car, but he never mentioned refunding the money for the car.
