Places with a large population flow will always have various security problems, and the hardships of the last days will make the surviving humans take risks. It is an adventure for Koma to do business in various parts of the Caribbean on a small steamer, and some people choose a more direct way to obtain wealth.
Old clothes are very conspicuous, and more than a dozen barrels of kerosene represent a lot of money. So when Kema brought a large amount of goods out of the market, someone immediately focused on the supplies delivered by the coolies at the dock.
"Boss, a fat sheep has appeared." Another boat came on the pier, and a dozen guys in messy clothes jumped ashore. Compared with the residents of Havana, they are more shabby and poorly dressed.
The leader was a tall black man. He was wearing at least a dozen or twenty summer clothes, wrapped in layers, and he still had a bad smell on his body. The other entourages were not much better. They all looked like gangsters, but they were very poor.
The tall black man ignored the reminders from his subordinates. He just looked at the busy port of Havana and said with a grin: "This is the most prosperous place in the Caribbean in the last days! It seems that I have come to the right place. If I grab a fortune here, I will definitely Can make a fortune."
A dozen of his subordinates walked ashore swaggeringly, and they all laughed cheerfully when they heard what their boss said. It's just that passers-by looked at them with disdainful eyes, and even scolded them mockingly.
"Hey, Boss Mars, did you hear that? The bitch who just walked over dared to call us stinky? She also said we were natives, and I must kill her." A subordinate complained furiously. The leading black man was also full of anger, and wanted to bring others forward to show his majesty.
"Stop, you guys." Before the black man brought his men up to stir up trouble, a dock worker came up and said, "Depending on the size of the boat, you have to pay a port berthing fee of five silver coins per day."
"Parking fee?" The black Mars turned his head, forced him in front of the staff in a vicious manner, grabbed him and cursed: "You dare to charge me? Do you know who I am?"
While speaking, Mars slapped the staff member twice and kicked him away. Seeing the other party running away in embarrassment, he laughed loudly and said, "I've never heard of people charging money for stopping the boat. You're too young to blackmail me, Mars."
Mars's subordinates also kept laughing. They wandered around various ports in the Caribbean. The places they visited were extremely chaotic. They had never heard of charging money for stopping the ship.
Seeing the arrogance of this group of people, all the people living on the pier stayed away. It's just that everyone is not afraid, but a look of gloating. Even the staff who had just been kicked away didn't say much, but turned around and left.
Seeing that he was obviously isolated, Mars didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to a tavern to inquire about the news, and see if there is any good business here."
A group of people gathered together, turned around and left in a show of power. But before walking a hundred meters, a sharp whistle sounded, and dozens of armed men with guns and ammunition appeared from all over the pier, pointing their guns at Mars and his gang.
Seeing the serious expression on the other side, as well as the uniform clothing and firearms, Mars and others were immediately dumbfounded. He quickly raised his hand and muttered: "Is it true that there is a parking fee here?"
The dock worker who had just been beaten ran back, covered his swollen face and said, "This is the guy who violated the dock management regulations and beat the managers."
Mars and the others were even more dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that there is still a place to talk about management regulations in the last days. Shouldn't it make sense for whoever has the most guns?
But right now they are definitely not the side with more people and more guns. I can only obey obediently.
A man in uniform and epaulets walked up to Mars, he looked at the tall black man, and said in a deep voice, "My name is Nieto,
It's the sheriff here, but I'm very upset today. I really don't like seeing people making trouble. "
Nieto is not tall, and he is very young, but Mars can only smile and say: "Sir, I am sorry that I made you feel bad. We just don't understand the rules and have a little dispute. "
"No, I'm not in a bad mood because of you." Nieto shook his head and said blankly: "I'm in a bad mood because I was kicked out by the army. They said I'm not suitable to work in the army. But I'm qualified I was old, so I was arranged to be a policeman.
Although I am not a good soldier, I like the army. Only with my comrades around me can I sleep peacefully. But I am now a policeman, and today is my first day on duty. My boss said that I should cheer up and be more vicious to those who dare to provoke me. "
As soon as he said "Be fierce", Mars felt chills all over his body. Just as he was thinking about how to bribe, he heard that the sheriff named Nieto had already pronounced the sentence: "Let them work as coolies on the dock for five days, receive labor education, and shoot them if they dare to escape."
Mars wanted to protest a few words, but the armed police on the pier told them to shut up with gun butts. A dozen or so people were disarmed on the spot, and handcuffed in groups of two to become coolies. The foreman was the staff member who had been slapped by Mars. The other party sneered and said, "Your name is Mars? I will educate you well and reform you."
This was an unwarranted disaster for Mars' gang, but the real law of the jungle made it impossible for them to contend. And they soon understood what education they were about to receive.
"Everyone take a shower first and change your dirty clothes. We will provide you with some change of clothes. Of course, clothes are not free. They need to be earned by labor. I promise you will enjoy labor." The foreman said this When talking, the meaningful smile makes people shudder.
The steam boilers widely used in Havana brought so much hot water that Mars couldn't remember the last time he took a bath. But this time the hot water in the public shower room made him cry out.
"Wow, this is amazing! It's heavenly to have hot water in this cold weather."
"The dirt on me can be balled up, I can't believe I'm so dirty."
"Look at the water that washes off of me, it's all black. It's just horrible."
Taking a bath made Mars and his gang startled and screaming, but everyone was generally very happy. And then the foreman gave each of them a piece of thick old clothes. Although they didn't look good and didn't fit well, they were still quite warm after being tied up.
"If you can take a hot bath every day and have such a set of warm clothes after working as a coolie for five days, it doesn't seem like a loss." Mars actually felt that he was lucky.
But the foreman came over quickly with a smile, "According to the sales price in the legion, your bath fee, clothing fee, and subsequent board and lodging expenses, each of you owes one gold coin and six silver coins. Reimbursement for legion labor.
And as a punishment, half of your labor income before paying off the arrears will belong to me, the victim. So I will definitely let you work hard. "
Mars and the others were all stunned, and this group of people realized that their next life might not be easy. (To be continued.)
