External Transfer: Memories of the Thirty-third No. 1
Someone asked me what my name is today? I thought about it carefully and it seemed that I really couldn't remember it. It has been forty years since I didn't have a name. In these forty years, my companions have always called me No. 33. As for my profession, I think according to the current statement, I should be a killer!
As for how I entered the killer industry, I have to start forty years ago:
I still remember it was the morning of March 14th in the lunar calendar. Today, I was in a bad mood. There was no rice at home to cook. I had no work to do recently. The main reason was that the people from the Cao Gang always robbed our business and beat our brothers. Because others were supported by the Li family, the largest family of Shangling, behind us, we could only swallow our anger. Our territory was getting smaller and smaller, and there were fewer and fewer things. Many brothers really couldn't make it, and they all defected to the Cao Gang. Some brothers looked down on these people, saying that they had no backbone, but they couldn't blame others. Everyone was poor, and they wanted to eat and support the whole family. If there was nothing to do, the whole family would only go hungry. The boss also thought of some solutions, but there was no effect.
Today I decided to look for a boss again to see if I could find some work to do. Even if I was the hardest and most tiring work, I would be willing to do it. My mother is not in good health, I don’t have money to sell meat, but at least I have to eat. It’s all because I don’t have any original form. In addition to some fist and foot skills, I only have a body of brute force. When my father was there, he taught me some archery skills, but there were no mountains around Shangling, and there were no wild beasts, so I couldn’t use it at all. I originally planned to join the army, but my mother was left at home, and I couldn’t feel at ease even if I left.
When I went to the guild headquarters, many rich men passed by and saw me, and they avoided me from afar. Some were still laughing. I was angry when I saw them. What else did they have besides having a rich father? What strength do they have? One of them can knock 4 of them over, no! No 8 are fine. When I get rich, I will kill them with money. Of course, that is all fake. If I have money, I still have to worry about today's supper. I don't know what the saying goes: The days of poor people are called life. It's a day to live, and I don't know what tomorrow is like.
When the guild was almost at the guild, I suddenly heard someone calling me. I looked back and saw that it was Liu Dabiao, a good brother who had grown up. I smiled and asked him why he ran away quickly and whether the money had dropped from heaven. He took a breath and told me that you shouldn't believe it, the money had really dropped from heaven. I said that if I lost the money, I couldn't pick it up, so don't delay me. I'm going to find something to do with the boss. He told me that you don't fight for me, it was the boss who gave us the money. After that, I didn't let me think too much, and I wanted to go to the headquarters of the guild.
On the way, we met many acquaintances, all of whom were brothers from a guild. They were called to the headquarters by the boss, and they all said they had the money to take. I just heard Zhang Dabiao say that he had the money to take, and I was still suspicious. But everyone said that, and I couldn't help but wonder if the boss had a big deal last night? The money he snatched. But when you think of the boss's character, he wouldn't even take it even if you give him ten thousand taels for no reason. Or the sun came out from the west? But I looked up and the sun was hanging in the east, boss!
After thinking for a while, I really couldn't figure out why. When I saw the road, I had arrived at the headquarters. Anyway, I knew why immediately, so I simply didn't want to. If I had the money, I would take it. If I didn't have it, I would find something to do. Anyway, I can't starve tonight.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I found that the atmosphere was not right today. There were many brothers outside the headquarters, all with guys. This was a situation that could not happen normally. Is the boss going to start a war with the Cao Gang today? If that were the case, I would have gone, so I would have disliked those turtle grandsons. Everyone is poor, so it is necessary to fight the poor for money?
We walked directly to the door, and the old scholar at the door was talking about his name. After reporting his name, the old scholar found my name on the dense list, and the brother who was guarding the door let me in.
When I entered the yard, I found that there were many people, about 100 people, all of whom could do some skills. Many of them were acquaintances, and they couldn't help chatting with each other, but everyone seemed to know why the boss asked us to come today, and the door was so tight. But there was one thing that everyone had the same view, that was, the boss might want to start a war against the Cao Gang.
Not long after, no one came in at the door, and it was probably all that should have come. At this time, someone closed the door, and the sound of the door closed in my ears always sounded frustrated.
After a while, all three bosses came. We liked the most of these three bosses. We all called her Purple Butterfly. She is very beautiful and generous. We usually say that if you want to find a wife in the future, we will find a third boss like this. We don’t want other women even if they are royal relatives. In fact, this is just a joke. Not to mention royal relatives, even rich girls look down on us. In fact, we still look down on them, and have tender skin and work like this? We poor families rely on our strength to make a living.
After standing in front of him, the boss waved his hand and told everyone not to speak. We naturally calmed down, and everyone wanted to know what was going on.
After seeing everyone quiet, the boss told us that the meeting would be sent to a place, a place we didn't know, and they might not be able to come back in the future. If they don't want to go, they can't go. If they are willing to go, they will give us a settlement fee of 100 taels per person, and then they will give each family a living expense of 10 taels per month. After that, the old scholar asked the old scholar to take the list just now, and he would sign up where he wanted to go. At the same time, the third boss was holding a stack of silver notes next to me. My third boss was relatively close to the house, and when I looked closely, it was really 100 taels. I have never seen so much money.
Although the boss said he would go somewhere, we all believe that his character would never lie to us. If he didn't say that one hundred taels, he would arrive immediately after he signed up. We believe that the boss could do the monthly living expenses at home.
I was still very hesitant at first. After all, 100 taels is a big temptation for me, and if I go there, my mother will have 10 taels of living expenses per month, which is enough for her to use. But the boss just said that he might not be able to come back after he goes there, so I can’t take care of my mother. What if she is sick?
I was really undecided, so I asked Dabiao what you plan to do? He said he was still undecided. Although he had a younger brother in his family, his younger brother was still young. He asked me how he decided, but I still didn't know. After I left, my mother took care of him every month. Finally, he said, "Just ask your mother to move to my house. Then someone would take care of her." When I thought this method was good, I ran to the old scholar with Dabiao to register. After getting 100 taels for me, the third leader smiled at me. But I couldn't be happy and didn't know where to go. Then I won't be able to see the third leader from now on? She is the ideal wife in our hearts!
After waiting for the people who were going to go, the boss asked us to go back at noon and said goodbye to our house. Each of us also gave us ten taels of silver and asked us to buy some wine and food to go back and have a good meal with our house.
