Chapter 1669

"Didn't everyone eat? Hurry up, I can't move and change the next one, don't waste time!"

"There is still a lot of goods waiting in the cabin!"

The noise came from afar.

Xiao Lingyue looked over at first sight. On the busy merchant ship deck, there was a middle-aged man standing with a railing in his hand, staring at her with a serious expression.

Perhaps she didn't expect that she would suddenly see it. The middle-aged man was shocked and immediately lowered his head in disguise, pulled down the straw hat on his head, turned around and merged into the busy crowd, and soon disappeared.

Xiao Lingyue frowned and returned to the room with the food box.

Zhan Beihan and King Xiang were discussing something in a low voice, but stopped when they heard the knock on the door.

"Come in." King Xiang said.

Xiao Lingyue walked into the house with a food box and closed the door: "His Royal Highness Xiang, do you know what the merchant ship next to him does?"

King Xiang was stunned: "I don't know what's wrong?"

Zhan Beihan looked up at her.

Xiao Lingyue shook her head: "Maybe I'm suspicious. I just went to the kitchen to get things. I saw a strange man on the boat opposite, staring at me, as if I was observing something. When I saw him, I hid."

Zhan Beihan's eyes narrowed: "What kind of man is it?"

"A middle-aged man in his forties is wearing a coarse cloth short-shot and a straw hat. He has a dark face and looks very ordinary, but his figure is strong. He looks like he is the kind who often does physical work."

Xiao Lingyue described it carefully.

King Xiang's slightly nervous expression relaxed: "This kind of dress should be just the laborers working on the ferry terminal, and there are everywhere, and it doesn't matter."

Xiao Lingyue said: "Then what did he observe me?"

King Xiang thought about it and guessed casually: "Maybe the guard uniform you wear is not common, so I feel curious and took a few more glances?"

"Is that true?" Xiao Lingyue was skeptical.

King Xiang laughed and said, "Shen Wan, don't be too vegetarian and vegetarian. This kind of uninformed ordinary people are very common. Sometimes I go to the suburbs of Beijing to live in a small village. When passing by some villages, the carriages can attract many people to stop and watch. Just get used to it."

Xiao Lingyue nodded and said nothing more.

Zhan Beihan spoke in a deep voice: "What do you think is wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong? I just took a few glances, and it was still across the boat." King Xiang replied in a lingering manner.

"I didn't ask you!" Zhan Beihan sneered and looked at Xiao Lingyue again, "You said."

"I can't say it either. It's just that the man gave me a wrong feeling, not like an ordinary person who sells coolies."

Xiao Lingyue recalled: "There are indeed many laborers moving goods on the merchant ship, but when I found that man, he didn't have any transport tools in his hand, and stood in front of the railing empty-handed, staring at me straight.

Moreover, the supervisor on the merchant ship stood not far behind him, and was still scolding other workers and asking them to move as soon as possible.

The man stood idle, as if he had nothing to do."

King Xiang couldn't help but say, "Maybe he was tired of working and just stopped to rest?"

“Impossible.”

Xiao Lingyue shook her head, "Your Highness Xiang, you have never been exposed to laborers who really work hard. They have no idea of ​​'rest' at all. Only when they have work can they have food to eat. If anyone dares to be lazy when working and moving goods, they are discovered by the foreman, they may not be able to find a job next time, which is equivalent to ruining their own job."

King Xiang was shocked: "Is it so hard?"

"That's why I feel that this man should not be an ordinary laborer, but I don't know why I stared at our boat and left immediately after I discovered it." Xiao Lingyue continued.
