the next day.
Before dawn, Chen Mo got up early and left the room.
Every inch of space in the Pig Cage Walled City is extremely precious. If you want to practice without being disturbed, you can only go to the rooftop on the fifth floor.
The neighbors in the Pig Cage Walled City have also gotten up, and everyone smiles kindly when they meet. Although this place is full of filth and poverty, for the residents living here, it is a rare pure land.
.
"Tongzi Kung Fu is divided into three levels. The improvement of each level will bring corresponding changes to the practitioner. Among them, the first level is the easiest to practice."
The sun has not yet risen, and the air on the rooftop is slightly cool.
Under the guidance of Xuanzong, Chen Mo continued to use more difficult postures to get closer to the standard movements of zamabu.
"Practice of Boy's Kung Fu is about abandoning distracting thoughts between movement and stillness, and combining the innate Yuanyang Qi in the human body with the concentration that has been tempered many times to temper one's life. The ancients often said that the purple air comes from the east, and the morning of the day is the beginning of life.
The most energetic person in the human body
At this time, it is most suitable to practice yourself in a static environment. In this process, we can use the power of purple energy to better promote the development of the body's potential. You must understand it carefully and gradually overcome the physical pain with strong concentration.
…”
Chen Mo's legs couldn't help but tremble.
Using this kind of posture of Zhanmabu, you can understand the so-called static state of Tongzi Kung Fu and temper yourself, which is really something that no one can persevere with.
Only a few minutes passed, and he felt like he was already sweating profusely. It seemed that the next second would be his limit, and he had to do his best to understand and overcome the physical pain with strong concentration.
"Hold on a little longer!"
On one side is Xuanzong's encouragement, on the other side is Chen Mo's determination.
He couldn't bear to see Xuanzong's disappointment. It felt like an hour had passed. Chen Mo finally couldn't hold on anymore and sat down on the ground, panting heavily and wiping the sweat off his forehead.
"Is it still cold?"
Chen Mo, who was waiting for Xuanzong's reprimand, received Xuanzong's concern instead.
Chen Mo shook his head and said: "It's not cold anymore."
"Well, let's continue tomorrow."
Xuanzong took Chen Mo off the roof of the building. The whole process took less than ten minutes. This was his first day of morning exercise.
The rising sun is shining brightly.
Chen Mo's mind seemed to become more cheerful at this moment.
Last night, facing such a difficult living environment, Chen Mo did regret deep down in his heart. He regretted why he did not choose Xiaoya at that time, but chose to follow Xuanzong here and live in such a difficult environment.
But at this moment, Chen Mo felt extremely fulfilled.
"Hello, how do you sell steamed buns?"
"One for five cents, five for two cents."
The lame man is a diligent man with an almost flattering smile on his face. This is also the portrayal of most people who are struggling to make a living in the Pig Cage Walled City.
The lame man's wife was mute and kept busy. The two of them raised three children. Even though they were busy all day long, the family could barely make ends meet. Even at such a young age, their hair was already gray.
"We want ten."
The hot steamed buns were quickly delivered to Xuanzong and Chen Mo.
Chen Mo felt as if he was starving. The buns in front of him were not small, but he devoured them one after another.
Xuanzong looked embarrassed and said, "Five more."
The lame man brought five more buns, took away two cents, and said with a smile: "You two look unfamiliar, are you new here?"
"Yes."
Xuanzong asked: "My brother and I have just arrived and haven't found a living yet. It's not an option to just sit back and have nothing. I wonder if the shopkeeper has a good place to go? Nothing else. The two of us still have the strength, as long as it is a serious business."
, as long as it can support my two brothers."
"Isn't this difficult to handle? The dock recruits workers all year round. As long as you have the strength and can afford to carry the goods, you can go there at any time."
"Thank you very much."
After devouring the steamed buns, Xuanzong took Chen Mo to the dock five kilometers away.
There are many dock workers here, and almost everyone has solid muscles. They have been exposed to the sun for a long time, and their dark skin is as warm and shiny as black jade.
Everywhere is filled with the strong smell of male hormones, like a group of wild beasts that may go crazy at any time, but everyone behaves very cautiously, always with an almost flattering smile on their face, like domesticated animals.
Xuanzong and Chen Mo were instructed and came to where Shopkeeper Tie was.
He was a serious, skinny old man, followed by two tall and round followers.
Those who came to apply for dock workers early in the morning were not only Xuanzong and Chen Mo, but also a dozen strong men who had already lined up. Among these people, there was nothing special about their stature.
"There is a sack over there. Pick it up and walk a hundred steps this way. When you get to the stone pillar, go around in a circle and then go back. You can keep what you have finished."
Chen Mo looked at where Shopkeeper Tie was pointing and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
The contents of this sack seem to be sand. If the volume is such, it is probably no less than 120 kilograms.
After gritting their teeth, the people in front began to express their feelings. Those who passed the test were not rewarded, and those who failed were not cast aside. Shopkeeper Tie was like a cold and ruthless machine, listing the names of those who passed the test one by one.
Write it down.
"My wife is sick and has no money for medicine. There are two starving children at home. I must make money. Please..."
A thin man who failed the test knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Go and drive him away."
Shopkeeper Tie looked indifferent and ordered the two men behind him to drive the crying man away. He cursed and said, "What the hell, you're crying out for me here."
Soon it was Xuanzong and Chen Mo's turn.
Xuanzong naturally had no pressure and successfully completed the test.
It seems that even if his body functions are damaged due to the side effects of the medicine, he is still much stronger than ordinary people.
Chen Mo struggled a little, carrying the huge sandbag, and reluctantly completed the Iron Shopkeeper test. When he put down the sandbag, he felt that he was about to collapse, and he couldn't help but gasp for breath.
final.
After being screened by Shopkeeper Tie, only about one-third of the more than twenty people met his requirements.
"Trial for three days, then you will be charged one yuan a day. Those who agree will have their thumbprints here, and those who disagree will get out."
Everyone came forward one after another and pressed their fingerprints.
"Urine pot!"
Following Shopkeeper Tie's shout, a tall man ran over as fast as he could.
"Coming."
Shopkeeper Tie said casually: "Take these people with you."
"Okay, don't worry."
After Shopkeeper Tie left, the man known as the Urinal walked past several people with a stern look on his face.
"I am the eldest brother of the Pier Gang. You can call me Brother Long from now on. The Pier Gang has the rules of the Pier Gang. You should do more, interrupt less, and learn more from the brothers here. If I see you disobeying the discipline
, or play clever tricks with me, hum."
After giving the warning, Brother Long sneered and left.
"The goods are here!"
Following the shouts in the distance, workers from the dock gang rushed forward one after another. The weight of the goods was not very large, each bag weighed only about seventy or eighty kilograms. A shipload of goods was quickly delivered to the trading house as required.
While taking advantage of the rest, Chen Mo would quietly activate the telekinesis bomb and despicable telekinesis shield skills to improve his skill proficiency until all the energy in his body was squandered. He would wait for the energy to slowly recover before continuing to practice.
The whole morning passed like this.
Although the wages of dock workers are not high, they are still pretty good for the lower-class residents of the city that never sleeps.
At least you can get a little bit of meat on it every three days, otherwise you won't have that much energy.
It's time to eat.
Except for a few workers who brought their own food, most of them rushed to the nearby market. Among them, the most popular among the workers were the water dishes and the eye-catching dishes.
The so-called offal dishes refer to meat dishes made from animal offal.
Because these offal meals are cheap, they have become a rare meat supplement for dock workers. When paired with a large amount of spicy condiments, they can cover up the fishy smell and make it a great meal.
As for the eye-opening dish, you use chopsticks to pick out the meat in a pot of boiling soup. These meats are often leftovers collected from various high-end restaurants and nightclub restaurants. Each time you take out the chopsticks, you need to give the boss a dime first.
, as for whether the income is good or bad, it all depends on luck, so it is called a blinding vegetable.
