Chapter 408: A thief never leaves empty-handed

Zuo Feng had a plan for asking this question. The previous questions were irrelevant, so Zuo Feng could ask directly.

But just now, Zuo Feng suddenly had an idea and thought of a way to kill two birds with one stone, but he was afraid that someone would see something, so he deliberately asked Liu San in a roundabout way.

Hearing that these goods would be counted after entering the warehouse, Zuo Feng also secretly showed a hint of joy. Originally, this method was a bit risky, but now the situation was urgent, he had to choose to take some risks, otherwise he would not be able to complete the several almost impossible goals he set in the remaining few days.

Zuo Feng was originally scheduled to leave with everyone on the fifth day, and now half a day has passed. Although it seems that the beast pattern has a little clue, he can't be sure whether it is the beast pattern, and how to approach it is also a problem. Moreover, the investigation of Shop No. 13 is still in the initial stage, and it is impossible to achieve his goal without taking some risks.

However, if Zuo Feng's plan can succeed, it will no longer be a luxury for him to complete the previous two goals. But now he only has a preliminary plan, and he is not sure how much difficulty there is in actually implementing it.

And up to now, he had not investigated the Cheng family mansion. In addition, Su Yan had alerted the enemy there before, which would make Zuo Feng's next investigation difficult.

Zuo Feng could only take things one step at a time now, temporarily focusing on dealing with the matters at the dock, and then taking the time to quietly go to Cheng Mansion to try his luck.

After everyone finished eating, they started a period of chatting and practicing. Zuo Feng didn't want to tell too many lies to these simple people, so he simply kept silent and just listened to their chat.

Although it was just a casual chat, Zuo Feng knew that Liu San and Tie Zhu were the backbone of the group, and everyone followed their lead. Although the person who paid the wages was Zhu Fei, everyone had no good impression of that person.

Zuo Feng's presence made everyone's conversation more or less reserved, but the extremely dissatisfied mood and the greed and shamelessness of Zhu Fei were all sneered.

During this period, Liu San hesitated for a while and actually invited Zuo Feng to live in his home. Zuo Feng saw that the other party was kind, but in the end he could only politely decline. He used the excuse that he had to find time to look for his relatives in the evening. Although this excuse was a bit far-fetched, Liu San didn't say anything more.

The work in the afternoon was basically the same as in the morning. Everyone lined up to move the goods to the deck. Zuo Feng saw that the warriors guarding the bottom of the cabin were absent-minded, and secretly used the storage crystal to take away a box of goods.

Zuo Feng had to use this method because he had no choice, otherwise he didn't want Liu San and others to accompany him to take risks. Just looking at the formation of these guards, you can know that they attach great importance to this batch of goods, but if Zuo Feng took it away directly like this, it would definitely implicate many people.

The space in Zuo Feng's storage crystal is several times smaller than that of the nano crystal, and can only barely fit a box of goods in it. And after this box of goods is put in, it is impossible to put other items in it.

Of course, Zuo Feng didn't really want to deduct the goods. This was just the first step of his plan. The prerequisite for this action was the information he got from Liu San during dinner. The goods would be counted after they were all transported to the designated location.

After putting the box of goods into the crystal storage, Zuo Feng pretended to be fine and continued to carry the goods with the team. No one noticed his little action. Or no one could have thought that among these poor porters, there would be someone who had such a rare thing as the crystal storage.

A batch of goods had been delivered before Zuo Feng arrived, so Zuo Feng roughly estimated that the goods carried by this group of people were at least thousands of boxes. The possibility of being discovered if there was a problem with so many goods was very small. If one was really missing, it would probably not be discovered.

Of course, these are just Zuo Feng's guesses, and everything will be revealed when the goods are counted. When the last batch of goods was delivered, everyone gathered on the deck. A warrior in armor came forward and symbolically searched everyone.

The search process was extremely careless. It was probably just a symbolic inspection of these people carrying goods according to some orders from above. Of course, the reason was to prevent these people from stealing things on the ship and taking them out. Zuo Feng saw that everyone accepted the inspection calmly, so he naturally had no fear.

The ring he wore was very ordinary and would not attract anyone's attention. Moreover, the crystal storage was of the lowest quality, and its surface color was very similar to the ring itself. If one had not had a firm opinion, one would not have noticed anything special.

Zuo Feng had specially checked the severed hand that he had cut off because of Kui Xiang's unusual behavior. With Zuo Feng's careful observation, he almost missed it.

At this time, the warrior in armor casually checked it, and his eyes only swept over the ring on Zuo Feng's hand, and then he showed a look of disdain. His expression seemed to say, "A poor guy actually learned to make a ring to wear. This kind of broken metal ring is even more embarrassing to wear."

Zuo Feng judged that the other party was paying special attention to him because he was a newcomer, otherwise he might not pay attention to the details of the ring he wore.

Zuo Feng just laughed at the mockery of the warrior and didn't take it to heart. A group of people followed and got off the big boat, and saw the fat pig with a face full of fat standing under the boat. The people on the boat seemed to make a gesture to him, and Zhu Fei nodded with a smile on his face to show that he understood.

When Liu San and others approached, Zhu Fei threw out a purse, and at the same time, his eyes swept over the crowd with a smile, and stayed at Zuo Feng for a while before taking it back. After Liu San took the purse, he seemed to be very distrustful of Zhu Fei. He immediately opened the purse and counted it, and finally his eyes fell on Zuo Feng with some complexity.

Zuo Feng could already guess that there must be no wages in it. Needless to say, Zhu Fei must have deducted it from it, but this was also the agreement between the two at the beginning, and he would not say anything else at this time.

At this time, the middle-aged woman Xiang Aunt and another woman who delivered lunch at noon were also waiting under the boat, each of them holding a wooden barrel that was exactly the same as the one in the middle. Seeing that everyone else was lining up to get food, Zuo Feng followed them consciously.

After observation, he found that everyone would receive a bag of dry food in a wooden barrel, as well as coins. Zuo Feng's sharp eyes had already seen that each worker would receive one silver coin and two copper coins, which was the money they earned after a hard day's work.

This price is definitely a large number for ordinary mountain people. Even in Luancheng, it is difficult to find a job that can earn this much money in one day. With the cultivation of these people in the strong body period, it is not bad to earn this much money in one day's work. Of course, considering the high expenses in all aspects of Xinjun City, this money is not much.

Zuo Feng was the last one to go over to get dry food, and of course he had no money to get. But after Liu San hesitated for a while, he stuffed a silver coin into Zuo Feng's hand.

"What is this?"

Zuo Feng and Tiezhu on the side spoke almost at the same time, and both of them looked at the silver coin handed over by Liu San in surprise. Liu San looked at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Little brother, you are desperate and have come here to work hard. From now on, we are all family. I thought that you have nowhere to stay now, and you have to find your relatives, and you need money in all aspects.

Tiezhu and I have been orphans since childhood, and we can understand the anxiety of finding relatives. This money is enough for you to spend for a few days. You should hurry up to find your relatives, and don't exploit the fat pig here."

Tiezhu looked at Liu San, hesitated for a moment, and took out the money he had just received, handed it directly to Zuo Feng, and said, "I will give this to you too, little brother, you must find your relatives."

Zuo Feng was slightly stunned, and felt a little sour between his chest and abdomen. He originally just made up the reason casually, just to get into this team and slowly investigate his own affairs. But he didn't expect these two people to be so righteous that they actually gave him their one-day wages on the first day they met.

The last words of the two also deeply touched Zuo Feng. Strictly speaking, he has been trying to find his sister who is still missing. The care of two people who just met, plus the lack of any utilitarian elements in it, made Zuo Feng particularly moved.

Sighing slightly in his heart, Zuo Feng smiled and said: "I appreciate the kindness of the two elder brothers, but I don't need any money for the time being. But if I have any difficulties in the future, I will definitely ask the two elder brothers, and you must not refuse me then."

As Zuo Feng said this, he stretched out his hand to push the hands of the two back, but in his heart he was thinking that he would definitely find an opportunity to repay the friendship of the two today in the future.

Zuo Feng is such a person who knows gratitude and never forgets it. He will remember the kindness of others to him, and he will also remember the hatred of Zuo Feng. The four words "happy gratitude and revenge" are a true portrayal of Zuo Feng's character.

While the two were stunned, Zuo Feng had already walked out of the dock, waving his hand to say goodbye to the two. In fact, he didn't want to stay here for a moment, because he had to hurry up and try his luck at the Cheng family mansion.

Zuo Feng's pace seemed slow but actually fast, and he quickly disappeared from the sight of the two people. At this time, Liu San and Tie Zhu looked a little puzzled, but they were already stretched to the limit, and they didn't have much energy to care about other people's affairs.

At this time, it was getting dark, but Zuo Feng came to the area where the Cheng family mansion was located with ease. Zuo Feng discovered the abnormality here from a distance. Not only were there many secret sentries outside the door who looked like they were doing business, Zuo Feng could also vaguely see that there were occasionally some dark shadows on the wall of the mansion.

Just as Zuo Feng had guessed before, the defense here has increased by more than a little bit, and it seems that he can only go back today.
