Chapter 321 The fellow saw the fellow and stabbed him in the back
Chapter 321 A fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman and stabs him in the back
"Your name." Levi asked directly.
The kid from the Anti-Barbarian faction in front of me seems to be different from others, he is the kind who still has a bit of conscience. In this dark and autistic era, such people are like fireflies in the dark.
Of course, he was merciless when killing people. He looked like he was less than fourteen years old, but how many people had he killed? Hundreds? Thousands? Or tens of thousands?
It is truly an extremely contradictory existence.
"Kawagami Hikosai, 14 years old." the little boy said.
"Ha, you just exposed your name directly like this?" Levi smiled.
"I have other names."
"That's it, by the way, let me ask you, where is the Dutch caravan? The Dutch are not French, not those smelly foreigners who can only raise their hands." Levi asked.
"There should be some in the city. There seem to be Dutch people doing business there." He looked at Levi and said.
"No problem, I'll give you this as intelligence fee. You won't be able to do this for a long time. If you can afford it, then stop it. Just find a village girl who likes you and hide in the village and grow radishes." Levi then followed.
Throw something.
The little boy took it and found that it was a silver bracelet, and there was a mark on it when he pinched it with his fingernails. It was real silver. This bracelet was enough to feed hundreds of people.
"Also, don't get involved in the muddy waters of the Anti-Barbarian Faction and the Shogunate Faction. The water there is very deep and you can't control it." Li Wei said the last thing and waved his hand to leave.
"But, for this land that has been crying...I have to kill people..." the little boy murmured, and he accepted the bracelet and was about to take it back to Mr. Katsura Kogoro.
This bracelet may give them an extra chance of winning against the foreigners.
…
And when Levi is looking for Dutch people, he is looking for broiler chicken resources. In this era, basically any business can be done by looking for Dutch people. As long as you pay enough, they can arrange it for you clearly.
He wants dozens of breeder chickens and some of the best freshwater fish seedlings to bring back to the main world. Maybe he will be able to have at least a little meat every day in the near future.
And by the way, some fresh blood was extracted there, and some basic equipment was purchased from the Dutch. The biological experimental equipment in this era was very rudimentary, but no matter how rudimentary it was, it was still of some help to Eva.
In the main world, Eva burns even the most basic test tubes by herself. It can be said that it has to start experiments from scratch. Preparation tools like test tubes waste a lot of time.
Following the direction pointed by Heshang Yanzhai, Li Wei soon arrived at the city.
However, he was immediately questioned by the Shinsengumi. However, Levi was very clean and dressed in such a way that he said he was a foreigner doing business, so the Shinsengumi people put him in directly.
In the urban area of Luye City, there are indeed many people here, and foreigners can be seen everywhere.
Many foreigners are still bargaining in half-baked Fusang dialect, and even argue with red faces.
"Hey, have you heard about the divine descending incident in Salem, America two hundred years ago..." Two foreigners were talking there in a small language.
"You must know, what is it called now? Amilika? The place where Louis XVI funded independence. It was said that a miracle happened in Salem a hundred years ago, and the Joestar family of the United States still uses that divine demotion as a witness.
Be proud of it.”
"Where did you hear that?"
"The Zeppelin family, they are said to be family friends with the Joestar family. That old guy George often said that the Joestar family has the gaze of God..."
"But speaking of it, the country of Yu is really in trouble. What do you call it in the language of the country of Qing? You lost your wife and lost your troops, so you were tricked by Louis XVI, right?"
Several people were talking, but because they spoke a small language, no one around them could understand them.
When Levi came here, he actually saw the familiar ramen. Only then did he realize that there was already ramen in Fuso in this era? It should have been available recently.
After all, when Levi's world was in existence, there was no ramen here at all, not even flour.
The highland barley in the main world is ground as big as sand and then made into cakes, which are as hard as baguettes. Li Wei thinks that the stuff can't be considered "flour" at all.
"Staff, please bring me a bowl of tonkotsu ramen." Levi said directly.
Come here, of course you have to try some of the most famous tonkotsu ramen here.
"Well, pretty boy, our craftsmanship is authentic..."
However, as soon as the store owner spoke, Li Wei was stunned, because this was not Fusang, but... Cantonese?
The shopkeeper seemed to realize immediately that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly bent down to apologize, saying in the local dialect: "Simi Masai, my guest, the ramen will be ready soon."
Levi: "???"
"Wait a minute, shopkeeper, are you from the mainland?" Levi asked.
"Hey, I'm from over there, too?" The shopkeeper's eyes seemed to glow green, like a mouse seeing food.
"So... no, I just went there." Levi paused and changed his words.
Because he received countless malicious looks in an instant, and that place was not his hometown now.
"What's Qing's way of eating your ramen?" Levi asked.
"That's for sure. There's no such way of eating here. We brought it here." The store owner said and started kneading the dough.
"That's it." Li Wei finally understood why there was no flour during the Genji shogunate period. It was brought here.
"By the way, where is this guy from? He looks a bit like a foreigner and a bit like a young man. Is he a mixed race?" The store owner seemed a little curious.
"It doesn't matter if you insist on it." Levi returned.
"That little brother is somewhat related to us. If you look here, they are all Cantonese. If you drop a brick, there will probably be more Cantonese speakers than Fusang speakers." He said and started to chat.
Perhaps, seeing Li Wei's leather armor, he felt that Li Wei was very rich.
"Then why did you escape here? This place should be poorer than Daqing, right?" Li Wei asked.
"Then what you said is that if we stay at that old immortal's place, it's better to come here. At least here we are still superiors. Under the old immortal, we are just slaves." The store owner returned with disdain.
Especially when talking about a certain Buddha, I feel unspeakable contempt, because now that I am here, I can say whatever I want. If I were in the mainland, I would probably have been beheaded.
"Are you ready to go back?" Levi continued to ask.
"Go back? Why go back? Become slaves? We already have a surname here, Harada. When the time comes, our descendants will hold an official position here. Is it no better than going back to be slaves?" the shopkeeper said nonstop.
For a moment, I just felt that the noodles had no flavor at all.
And Li Wei took a quick look and realized that maybe he was telling the truth. There were more Daqing people here than the local people, and most of them had integrated with this place.
This is only now. After the Meiji Restoration, it is estimated that more people will escape than the entire Fuso native population combined.
Perhaps like this store owner, they don’t even need a generation, but only ten years, they are completely assimilated into the locals, and even look at their former compatriots as if they were superior to others, and may not even regard their former compatriots as
People saw it.
Li Wei shook his head. He couldn't understand this era, and he also wouldn't say much. Don't talk about bad things and just eat noodles.
But after two bites, he lost his appetite, dropped some money, got up and left.
"Hey, guest, is there something wrong with the ramen?" The store owner seemed a little anxious.
"I'm going to discuss business with the Dutch people." Li Wei put on his felt hat and left directly.
After waiting for Levi to leave, the store owner seemed a little annoyed.
"What's wrong?"
"We didn't give enough medicine and missed a fat sheep. I even wanted to gain some connections and tied him up!"
Li Wei felt that the noodles were tasteless. It might not be a psychological problem, but something in the noodles.
…
The sky was very gloomy, thundering, and it seemed like it might rain at any time.
Of course, Li Wei didn't know this, but he sighed when he saw this group of people who seemed to have just fled here after getting a poop cut.
At the end of the shogunate, Fuso had a total population of just over 20 million, but in just 50 years, the population would reach over 70 million, more than tripling.
Some of this is due to factors such as the development of productivity after the Meiji Restoration and the return of the Great Government, but more...
Li Wei saw the west side, the other side of the sea, and couldn't survive. There may be more people who escaped than the mainland people on the island...
And because of the fanaticism of converts...
Levi didn't dare to think about it, he could only sigh.
So this era is the era he hates the most, under any circumstances.
Take what you want and leave here quickly.
Levi's outfit is very eye-catching in the countryside, but in this city, some foreign faces will appear from time to time, as well as people wearing standard monocles, suits, gentlemen and walking sticks. Of course, people dressed like that only need to
Once you appear, you will become the focus of everyone.
Along the way, Li Wei saw too many familiar things, including ramen noodles, sausages, rice rolls, rice balls, fried noodles, burritos...
These are a series of ways to eat food brought by the refugees. However, many of these things have become traditional Fuso delicacies a hundred years later.
Very helpless.
In other words, where are the natives on Fuso Island? All the native hobbits here were killed by Xu Fu. The so-called natives now are just those who escaped from ancient times.
When Li Wei passed by the gate of a noble house, he saw that the place was surrounded by warriors, and they were dragging corpses one by one.
Many family members came to claim the body, and each one of them knelt on the ground and cried loudly when they saw that their former family members had turned into dry and cold bodies on the ground.
Scattered on the ground were pieces of crumpled paper, with the word "Tianchu" written in Chinese characters on them.
Another thunder sounded, and raindrops fell slowly.
Li Wei took a look, and it seemed that everyone in the entire house was dead. It was the people of the anti-barbarian faction who killed them. To be precise, it was the people who killed him - Battousai Hegami Yanzhai.
This mansion was originally a large aristocracy, but now there is not a single living person left. They have all turned into piles of corpses, with solidified blood splattering everywhere around them.
A girl who had probably just grown up came here, but she covered her mouth when she looked at the corpses on the ground, and saw a young warrior waiting for her among the pair of corpses.
But such a young samurai died last night. His heart was penetrated and fatal with a knife. There was no possibility of survival.
She threw herself on the corpse with a cry of "Wow" and started crying. She kept crying and retching.
Scenes like this keep happening here, because there are too many corpses, and the number of warriors stationed here is half a hundred. The roars of one cart after another, and one group after another can even be annoying.
"Damn it! Damn it! I must kill Battousai when he kills him! I must kill him! Only he can never be forgiven! I want him to feel the same pain as me, to feel the pain of losing everything.
!" came the shrill cry of a little boy.
Levi turned his head and looked over, and found that two men, one woman, and three children were kneeling in front of the corpse of a warrior, crying and shouting. The warrior's entire body was almost cut in half, leaving only a little bit of skin hanging down.
"Yahiko... let's go... take the teacher's body with us..."
The two boys and one girl didn't seem to have a cart. They struggled to wrap the body in a straw mat and dragged it away bit by bit.
Ren Zhan's killing techniques were very superb, almost all of them were killed with one blow, and there were a lot of bullet casings here. Obviously, the samurai fought back, and many even took out their guns, but it was all to no avail.
This was the normal state of the Tokugawa period. Murderers were everywhere, and a mansion, a village, or even a city could be massacred at any time and at any time.
When Li Wei was about to leave, he saw a short figure wearing cloth and a bamboo hat, who looked like a stunted child.
Li Wei knew him, Kawagami Saihiko, one of the Four Great Slayers at the end of the Tokugawa Period, and could even be said to be the strongest murderer. Many of his stories would become frequent guests in film and television works in later generations.
However, now he was only a minor, less than fourteen years old. He looked at the corpses on the ground and the people kneeling beside the corpses, collecting them in the rain.
The rain jumped over the bamboo hat and slapped on his face.
"I once watched a primary school detective. The murderer would return to the scene of the crime to watch his results." Levi said softly.
But the child under the bamboo hat ignored Li Wei and looked at the group of people collecting the corpses in a daze.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! The Shinsengumi is doing business!" A powerful shout rang out, and Levi forgot about the past. A team wore hats on their heads and clothes with blue background and white letters on their backs, with "Sincerity" written in Chinese characters on the back.
Word, these warriors came over.
The leader pushed away a woman who was collecting the body, kicked the body over, looked at the stab wounds on the body, frowned, looked fiercely, and spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth fiercely into the water.
"Damn the reform miscellaneous repairmen, we're late again." This fierce man said, with seemingly endless anger in his eyes.
"Captain Saito, First Division Captain Okita Souji, Second Division Captain Nagakura Shinpachi will also come to Luye Castle in the afternoon, and Deputy Captain Hijikata will also come over to discuss attacking the anti-barbarian faction together."
The bald samurai named Tsukiyotou whispered in the fierce man's ear.
