Chapter 1101, the docks are in turmoil

"Four hundred water tanks, four hundred wine" On the east bank ferry, a dragon woman was walking around the shore, holding a long pen in her hand, carefully counting the goods stacked on the dock.

This is the most prosperous place for commerce and trade in Shoulong City, and the largest cargo distribution center in the east. Countless huge boxes are stacked all over the dock, like tiny hills. And on top of this complicated ferry, there are countless counting workers like her. Countless ships stretch across the coast, and workers carrying large and small boxes and cargo are loading and unloading on and off decks, coming and going, roaring and roaring. The dragon woman was in it, and it seemed very ordinary.

After the inventory of this batch of goods was completed, the woman breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her forehead slightly, closed the record book, and turned to walk towards a large ship.

Coincidentally, a six-foot-tall man walked down from the cabin, clearly not like a dragon. The woman immediately greeted him, stopped him, and said, "Sir, this shipment has been counted." This is the detailed number, please check. ”

The big man took the book, only rolled it a few times casually and closed it, and said, "There is nothing to check, there will be no mistake in the number of the girls who have passed through it." I believe you. Then he took out a belt of coins from behind him and said, "These are two hundred dragon coins." ”

The dragon woman took a step back in surprise, bowed slightly, and said, "Sir, my reward is only one hundred dragon coins, and I have no reason to overcharge." ”

The big man waved his hand and smiled: "No, it only took you half the time to complete the inventory of the goods." Twice as fast as the other counters, we could have left half the time. For us merchants, you save us time, and you make a lot of money for us. You deserve this money, and I'm afraid I'll have to ask Miss Yue for help next time I ship it. Don't excuse yourself. ”

The dragon woman took the money bag, shook her head, took out a cloth bag from her waist, took out a hundred dragon coins from the big man's bag, and stuffed the remaining dragon coins back into his hand along with the bag. Bowing deeply, he said:

"Thank you, sir, for looking up to the little girl. In the future, we will cooperate for a long time, so you don't have to be polite. My ability to be more and more limited, since I have said that the remuneration is good, then my time has also set the value, even if it is difficult, the little woman does not dare to take more. I just hope that in the future, my husband will often think of the little girl and give me an errand to support the family, and the little woman will be grateful. You must take this money back, I can't take it. ”

Seeing that she insisted on this, it was not easy to be reluctant, so he took back half of the money and said, "Miss Yue is really a straightforward person, and it is really a pleasure to cooperate with you." Since the girl refused, it would be hypocritical for me to insist. I'll keep the money for you first, and it'll be yours next time, haha. ”

The work done by Dragon Girl Yue Shu is an extremely ordinary profession in this Dragon City. Shoulong City is a first-class commercial city in Fangzhang Continent, and a large number of goods enter and leave the wharf every day in the city. Regardless of whether it is in or out, all goods need to be counted. The number of these goods is usually very large, and this gave birth to a special profession, that of the pastor.

The teller needs to have excellent arithmetic skills, and be able to accurately count the cargo at a speed several times faster than usual, so as to facilitate the loading and unloading of ships. There are also some fast and slow ones. Naturally, it was divided into high, middle and low divisions. All the professional certificates of the tellers are only for half a year, and there will be a large-scale examination after half a year, and after passing the test, the certificate will be re-issued by the Shoulongcheng Commercial Bank with the results.

Despite this, the income of the advanced pointer is very good, but there are not many people who work in this profession. One reason is that the work of the teller is very hard, often having to walk around the dock for a whole day, and his brain is constantly turning. It was very noisy above the ferry, and it was easy to influence the way of thinking, so the pointer had to keep a clear head. As a result, I was scared all day and tired at the end of the day. Secondly, when you work as a taper, you need to pay a large deposit to the firm. In the event of a misliquidation error, the firm will use the funds to compensate the employer twice for the loss. Therefore, on their work license, there is the amount of their own mortgage. If the number is too small, there is generally no employer who has the courage to hire it. So, it's a job that can't go wrong. It's more of a gamble than a job.

Yue Shu's husband used to be a pointer, but because of a mistake in the eye, he lost his entire family. Now, she is the only one who supports the family.

She looked at the heavy bag of gold coins in her hand, wiped her sweat, and smiled with satisfaction. Last year, she was promoted to a senior pointer, and her income suddenly increased a lot. She receives twice as many orders as ordinary people every day, but such hard work also makes her suffer from leg problems. I couldn't sleep every night because of the pain.

Yue Shu bent down and gently thumped her legs. Take a long breath. He was ready to get up and go to the nameplate of the ferry, and put his nameplate back on the idle notice of the senior pointer, waiting for the next employer to appear.

But she had only taken a few steps when a little dragon girl suddenly jumped out from the fire next to her and hugged her legs.

"Mother!"

She was the girl who had been separated from her brother in the crowd before, and she slipped away in a hurry, and it turned out that she had really come to find her mother.

Seeing her daughter here, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and squatted down with some difficulty, hanging her scattered silver hair behind her ears. hugged her with a smile on his face and said, "Ling'er, why did you come here?"

The girl looked displeased, pouted Lao Gao, and said, "My brother is running around with me, I'm so tired, my skirt is dirty." I don't want to play with him!" she suddenly hugged Yue Shu's neck, and said, "I want to be with my mother." ”

"My mother has to work and earn money to buy beautiful clothes for her good daughter. You are good, go find my brother, my mother is not free now. ”

The girl jumped up and down with her neck in her arms, and said, "I don't want to!" Don't bother you to work, besides, you can teach me a little bit, I will study hard, and I can also come out to work in the future, so my mother doesn't have to work so hard. ”

Yue Shu pinched her little face with relief and said with a smile: "I'm very happy that you have this heart." But in another year, my mother will have to save some money for you to study. Don't you like to listen to stories, and when you go to the book club in the future, you can hear a lot of stories. ”

The girl's eyes were full of anticipation and nodded. Yue Shu smiled and said: "Hurry up and find my brother, you let him be well-behaved, don't run around, if he runs around again, my mother will punish him at night." ”

The girl let go of her hand stupidly, and Yue Shu reached out and took a dragon coin from the bag and gave it to her, saying, "Buy some food with my brother." Go for it. ”

"Well, goodbye, mother!" the little girl turned around and ran to the city gate.

"Wait a minute. Yue Shu suddenly saw a large piece of mud on her daughter's dress, and hurriedly shouted. The little girl stopped and looked back at her mother curiously. But for a moment, her eyes seemed to be turned elsewhere, and this time, in addition to surprise, there was also a deep sense of horror.

"Mother's kiss," the little girl's eyes flickered in surprise, and she snorted behind her mother. Yue Shu felt strange, but before she could turn around, a terrible scream came from behind her. She looked back in shock, only to see a huge gray hand slowly sticking out of the water on the edge of the barge where she had just counted the cargo. The giant hand with sharp claws pierced into the void, and suddenly the green tendons on it burst out, and the five fingers became knives, and suddenly slammed down on the seven or eight feet long barge.

"Wow!"

With a loud bang, the huge barge was instantly smashed off the bow of the ship. The cargo that had been loaded on the ship but had not had time to tie the rope was thrown into the sky and scattered, and most of the people on board screamed and shook off into the water. However, before it surfaced, a layer of crimson blood spread first.

Yue Shu covered her mouth in horror and subconsciously took a few steps back. Suddenly, I heard the screams on all sides, and when I looked around, I saw that there were huge gray hands in many places in the sea, and some of them smashed the smaller ships at the waist, and the larger ships were also smashed out of countless big holes, and the sea water fell in, and in a short time they all sank quickly.

The screams and shouts on the sea resounded through the clouds, and countless people on the boat who had fallen into the water were desperately swimming to the shore, shouting in terror. However, after swimming less than a kilometer, he was suddenly dragged into the water by something, and his voice was paused, and after a while, a pool of thick blood floated up.

In just a few moments, the entire East Coast ferry port was already in chaos. Countless pedestrians on the ferry began to flee for their lives towards the east gate, and almost none of the boatmen and sailors who fell into the water could swim to the shore, thousands of ships were destroyed, and the water surface of the entire east coast was already blood-red. The sky is full of clouds, the water and the sky are the same color, and it is even more hideous and terrifying.

Exclaiming, yelling, crying, yelling. All kinds of voices were mixed together, and people, no matter what race they had, had all left behind their belongings at this moment and ran away frantically. However, the east city gate is only two or three zhang wide, and in the face of the surging crowd, it already seems extremely narrow at this moment, as if a rolling flood is pouring in from a small gate, and a large number of ethnic groups have been stranded outside the city gate.

"Mother, mother!!" the little girl cried loudly, and kept squeezing through the crowd before she could move two or three steps, but she was squeezed into the city gate by the crowd.

"Ling'er, Ling'er!!Where are you?!!Ling'er!!" Yue Shu hissed, but her voice was too inconspicuous in the noisy cry. It seems that even she can't hear her own voice. She ran with the crowd for a while, then stopped and looked around, anxious, grabbed one of them and asked, "Have you seen my daughter?"

"I haven't seen it, I've never seen it!Get out of here!!" Before she could finish, the man pushed her aside. Yue Shu turned around and grabbed the other person's hand again, and shouted, "Have you seen my daughter? she's six years old and wearing a white dress."

"Get out of here!" the man shouted again, shoving her to the ground. Countless pedestrians hurriedly trampled over her, and she couldn't even stand up.

At this moment, a thrilling scream suddenly sounded behind the fleeing crowd.
