There were several blocks between the wharf and Tom's territory. Tom had enough patience to walk all the way, and Gao Qi treated it as a tour of the city. He was also patient enough to walk with Tom.
The wharf was definitely by the sea, so the hotel that Gao Qi and the others stayed at on the first day was actually quite close to the wharf. But now, he had to take a big detour.
Gao Qi was in a good mood, because at this moment, he had a new and profound understanding of the saying, "A journey of ten thousand miles requires ten thousand books to read ten thousand books." He was willing to walk and see more. In small terms, it was to increase his knowledge, but in big terms, it was to understand a whole new world.
When he could hear the sound of the waves, Gao Qi finally saw the wharf.
The so-called wharf was a breakwater. There was a seawall that extended out to the sea, and some wooden planks extended out to both sides of the seawall. Some small sampans were fixed to those wooden planks.
Gao Qi had never seen a giant steel ship before the Cataclysm, but he knew what kind of ships humans had built. Comparing his knowledge of ships with the small sampans in front of him, Gao Qi immediately felt a huge difference when he saw what a ship looked like for the first time.
At this moment, there were quite a lot of people at the wharf.
The fishermen would sell their catch at the wharf, and the restaurants in the city would come to buy it. It was still morning, so there were not many fishermen selling seafood. The busiest time was in the afternoon.
Gao Qi was very excited, because he could visit the fish market like an aquarium, even though the fish were dead.
Most of them were small fish, because there were only small fish in the coastal waters, and the fishermen's sampans could not even go a little further.
Gao Qi pointed at a small fish with a bright color, and asked Tom, "What fish is this?"
In a plastic bucket, there were seven or eight brightly colored small fish. What was rare was that these fish were all alive.
The fisherman selling the fish looked like a middle-aged man with a face full of hardships. He thought that Gao Qi was a tourist who wanted to buy fish. When Gao Qi asked, he immediately said in a hurry, "This is Shijiugong, it tastes very good! The soup it makes tastes really good! "
Gao Qi was stunned for a moment, because he did not expect that a hawker in the fish market at the wharf could speak Chinese.
"Uh, how much?"
If you want all of them, I'll give you all 600 yuan. "
Gao Qi's eyes widened. Although he was not sensitive to money, the price of this fish was beyond his imagination.
Pointing at the crabs in the bucket, Gao Qi asked curiously, "How much are these crabs?"
"Ten yuan for one, fifty yuan for a pack. Fifty yuan."
Looking at the fisherman's outstretched hand, Gao Qi fell silent. Then, he asked in confusion, "Why … is fish so expensive and crabs so cheap?"
The fisherman stammered, "Because there are small monsters in the water. It's too dangerous to touch the water. Do you understand? Exotic beasts, small monsters, we have to risk our lives to catch fish, but catching crabs and shellfish is much safer. "
Gao Qi nodded slowly, but Tom said with some impatience, "Come on, I'm here to fight with someone, but you're buying seafood here. This makes me feel very strange."
Turning his head to look at Tom, Gao Qi said helplessly, "You have to calm down, don't be so impatient."
Gao Qi was in his early twenties, and Tom was in his thirties. When he said that Tom was too impatient, it did seem a little funny.
What could Tom say? He could only stand aside patiently and wait for Gao Qi to satisfy his curiosity before he went to fight with someone.
Gao Qi stood up and said to the fisherman, "We'll buy later, we still have something to do. We'll buy your fish when we're done."
Although he did not feel any sense of urgency at all, and did not feel any danger, carrying a pack of fish in his hand when he went to fight with someone was indeed outrageous.
The fisherman seemed a little disappointed, but what else could he say?
Gao Qi and Tom began to walk forward, and Anna was already thinking about what to eat later.
"I want to eat grouper, I don't know if I can buy it. The large ones are better, without bones."
Gao Qi nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I want to buy a big one too. Small ones have too many bones."
At this moment, Gao Qi heard someone behind him say in surprise, "Hey, Shi Jiugong, I want all of them."
This voice sounded very familiar, and Gao Qi immediately stopped. Then, when he was about to turn around to see who was talking, he saw two fierce-looking men in front of him looking at Tom in shock, and then loudly shouting Tom's name.
Although they did not understand English, they could still recognize Tom's name.
The two men, who were obviously from the Dock Gang, turned around and ran. Tom spread his hands helplessly and said, "The Dock Gang. It seems that we don't have to wait for them. They will come over."
Gao Qi did not answer Tom. He just turned around and looked at the man who said he wanted to buy the fish. Then, he shouted, "Master Dog!"
The person who said he wanted to buy the fish was Wu Tong. No wonder his voice sounded familiar, but he did not expect to meet him here.
Wu Tong was looking down at the fish in the bucket. He was surrounded by a few people, each of them holding bags of various sizes.
After hearing Gao Qi's shout, Wu Tong raised his head and looked at Gao Qi, then said with a calm face, "Hey, Master Fire, what a coincidence."
Tom was stunned at first, then he began to think. After a while, he suddenly shivered and stared at Gao Qi with extreme surprise.
Wu Tong pointed at the fish in the bucket and said with a smile, "There's good stuff here. Shi Jiugong is very good at making soup. Master Fire, I'll treat you this afternoon. Let's eat together?"
Wu Tong didn't look any different from before, and Gao Qi didn't have any deep hatred for him. They could be considered old acquaintances. As long as they didn't talk about toothpicks or earthworms, they could still have a pleasant meal and chat.
Gao Qi laughed and said, "Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Wu Tong said indifferently, "Why are you standing on ceremony? Why are you here? Are you here to play for a few days?"
"Yes, I'm here to play for a few days. What about you?"
"I'm also here to play for a few days, then I'll go somewhere else. Anyway, I have nothing to do and I have money, so I'll just play."
As they spoke, Gao Qi had already stood together with Wu Tong. As for Tom, who was about to fight with the Dock Gang, that was nothing.
At this moment, Tom, who was behind Gao Qi, said in a trembling voice, "He, he, he called you Master Fire. Are you, are you that Chaoxi City's Master Fire?"
Tom was not ignorant. He was just too shocked. Now, his mind was blank. He just wanted to figure out the situation as soon as possible.
Gao Qi said naturally, "Yes, that's me."
After Tom took a deep breath, a strange gurgling sound came from his mouth, but he could not say a complete sentence.
Wu Tong looked at Tom and asked curiously, "This is?"
Gao Qi turned to look at Tom. Just as he was about to speak, Tom shuddered. Then, he said to Wu Tong, "I'm his disciple! He's my master! "
After saying a complete sentence in an instant, Tom seemed to have just come back to his senses. He raised his arms with a fanatical expression and said loudly, "Master Chaoxi City's Master is my master! I am … "
Gao Qi suddenly remembered something and said anxiously, "Don't say it!"
But it was too late. Although Gao Qi tried to stop him, Tom had already finished.
"I'm the Eldest Senior Brother of the Heaven Defying Faction!"
