By the time Zhi Wan and Shuang'er arrived at the dock, it was already bustling with activity.
Food vendors shouted their wares with gusto while a constant stream of porters carried sacks and goods, some unloading cargo from ships, others loading it on.
The entire dock was a scene of orderly chaos.
Just as Zhi Wan and Shuang'er stepped out of their carriage, a young man with a simple, honest face approached. He gave Zhao Dong a good-natured smile and said, "Brother Zhao, you're here."
Zhao Dong clapped him on the shoulder and smiled. "You're right on time. Have you been waiting long?"
The young man scratched his head and said honestly, "Brother Zhao found me work, so of course I wouldn't dare be late. I just got here a little while ago myself."
Zhao Dong nodded, then turned to Zhi Wan. "Miss, this is Guo Yong, the man I just told you about. The lad is strong as an ox and very reliable. You can call on him for anything you need during the journey."
