"May the powerful God of Time and Space bless us, and may the Time and Space Administration approve our actions. Amen."
After Wen Desi muttered, he was the first to pass through the wormhole with his assault pack on his back, followed closely by Xiao Zishan and Wang Luobin.
Wen Desi is a travel enthusiast. He usually has a complete set of camping travel equipment at home, which is considered well-equipped. However, he only chose quick-drying clothes, a survival box and a multi-purpose knife. He also brought an assault bag to carry the wormhole exit with him.
.
As for weapons, Wen Desi considered his all-steel crossbow and hunting knife, but after thinking about it, what really happened? It might be a bit mysterious for three urban otakus to compete with people from the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, the wormhole exit can be moved at will.
, when in danger, just open the wormhole and escape. To be cautious, Wen Desi took out three stab-proof vests, some smoke bombs, and an electric shock device, which could be used to escape in an emergency.
Xiao Zishan did not have such equipment, so he went directly to the military and labor insurance stores all over the street and bought a training uniform, a pair of high-top liberation boots, and a replica military backpack.
Wang Luobin wore common field work clothes. Everyone brought two days' worth of compressed dry food and a few bottles of purified water. They also brought some emergency medicine. This was just to minimize the chance of opening a wormhole to avoid exposure.
Xiao Zishan brought many types of promotional products. I originally planned to bring glass cups and plastic powder boxes, but later I thought it would be better to bring a little of each kind - after all, I didn't know Mingren's aesthetic taste and needs, so I brought more samples to explore.
Pathfinding.
After confirming the crossing location, Xiao Zishan went to the library several times, roughly found the current location of Haopan Street, found an express hotel nearby, and rented a room. Then, Wen Desi opened the bug a little at night for several days in a row.
hole and observe the environment on the opposite side - Haopan Street is a commercial district after all, densely populated. If you open the wormhole at will, you may end up in someone's bedroom or simply on the street where people come and go. To be on the safe side, Wen Desi
I simply ordered infrared night vision glasses from the Internet. If the location was not suitable, I would have to move to another location - it was a complete lucky break.
According to Wen Desi's several nighttime observations, the space opposite should be the backyard of a certain mansion. Many rows of gray brick houses can be seen, and there is no one there after dark.
In fact, everyone has no idea what will happen after time travel, and there is no place to consult. The initial plan is to hide in a secluded place for a while after passing through, and as soon as it gets dark, go to the shop to show off the goods and see their reaction.
how.
It is impossible to predict what attitude the ancient people of the 17th century would have towards these strangely dressed people: whether they would avoid them or attract a large number of people who did not know the truth to watch. There are also language communication barriers. However, according to Mr. Wen, Cantonese is
The dialect that preserves the most elements of ancient Chinese may not be as different as modern Mandarin.
The time was determined to be around 5 a.m., which was Maochu in ancient times. It was early and it was still dark. Although there was no clear curfew system in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the nightlife was lonely and there were few pedestrians at night.
If discovered, an investigation will be carried out; if it is too late, more people will start working, and the possibility of being seen opening the wormhole will greatly increase - three people can be drilled out of thin air without causing a sensation in Guangzhou.
Mr. Gao Zhigao always felt that he could not sleep well at night these days. The dogs in the hotel yard behind him kept barking every night. The nursing staff rushed to check several times, but there was nothing unusual. The hotel yard itself
In the place where goods are stored, the walls are not only high, but there are side streets on both sides. Even a top-notch snitch would not be able to sneak in. So some people became suspicious, saying that there were often people in the yard in the middle of the night.
A strange light appeared, and people in the high house were panicked for a while. It was fine during the day, but at night, the hotel became a place that everyone avoided. The weather was also weird these days. There was always thunder in the evening, but there was no rain.
, the sky often turns weirdly purple. Mr. Gao is always in a bad mood, and even his most favored concubine is too lazy to show up.
It's not that Mr. Gao is afraid of ghosts, but that the hotel in the backyard is related to his wealth and life. There are hundreds of merchants of all sizes on Haopan Street, and all of them have made a fortune from selling goods. Now he has made a fortune from Buddha last winter.
The goods and silver obtained by Langji people were turned into raw silk, satin, and porcelain that Langji people liked. They also prepared a lot of saltpeter and ironware that the imperial court banned from exporting. If anything goes wrong, wouldn't they kill him?
His life - taking his life is still a trivial matter. Half of his huge property belongs to Eunuch Yang in the palace. Although Eunuch Yang is not as prominent as Nine Thousand Years Old, it is not difficult to wipe out his whole family.
The dog was quite quiet that night and didn't bark anymore. Mr. Gao had a good sleep. Because he had been restless these past few days, he had been sleeping alone in the study. Just after the fifth watch, he got up and sat under the girl's bed.
After being served, I brushed my teeth and washed myself with green salt. I was squinting at the half-dark sky, wondering what the weather would be like, and whether I wanted to go to the courtyard to have some fun...
There was another burst of dog barking in the backyard, and Mr. Gao couldn't help but be startled. The refreshing mood of getting up early was completely ruined. He gave the cup a heavy meal, and when he was about to call someone for questioning, he saw the head of his nursing home rolling and crawling.
Rushing into the courtyard, Mr. Gao's expression changed greatly. This was the inner study, and the male servants were not allowed to enter without passing in. The leader rushed in so angrily, and it was obvious that something big had happened.
"Master, master, the hotel yard...the yard...is coming...is coming..."
"Why are you so anxious? Speak slowly." Mr. Gao has been engaged in foreign smuggling for many years and has long developed a calm mind in the face of danger. He only panicked for a moment and then calmed down.
"Backyard, backyard, there are three Japanese people coming!"
Hearing that there were three Japanese people in the backyard, Mr. Gao didn't quite understand how these Japanese people got in, but as long as they were human beings, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "A few Japanese people scared you so much! Tie them up first."
Locked up in the firewood shed." He waved his sleeves in an extraordinary manner, but his mind made several turns.
Could it be that they were sent by Boss Wang from Youyu Island, and a ship has docked now? Gao Ju knew that many of the Folangji people had Japanese slaves, but now was not the time for the ship to arrive. Besides, as his partner, Boss Wang would not
He sent several Japanese people here without saying hello in advance, let alone sneaking them into his backyard.
"Sir, these Japanese... are really weird!" the leader quickly reported, "You guys don't dare to act rashly."
"Bullshit! Trash!" Mr. Gao was furious, but he was a little scared in his heart. Although he lived here as a guest from other provinces, he had heard many stories about the ferocious Japanese pirates who raided the coast in the early years. The reason why Haopan Street is now a circle
I came to the city because Japanese pirates were rampant back then. These three people sneaked into his backyard late at night without anyone noticing. I'm afraid... Mr. Gao remembered that he heard from Tongri's maritime merchants that there were some alien warriors in Japan who were used to being invisible.
Sneaking, killing people invisible...
Thinking of this, I felt a great fear in my heart. My original idea of asking my servants to arrest them before talking about them faded away, and I quickly asked: "Where are these three people now?"
"The boys are surrounding the backyard with bows, arrows and firecrackers," the leader glanced at Mr. Gao's face, "Looking at their appearance, they don't seem to have any malicious intent..."
"Asshole!" You didn't have any malicious intent to come to his backyard. Could it be that you were here to have a drink?
"Sir, these people don't have weapons. The leader of them threw it to the younger one." The leader quickly handed over a small box from his arms, "He also said a lot of words, which the younger one couldn't understand very well."
Mr. Gao took the paper box over with hesitation, but was surprised. The box was very smooth and clean, as if it had been glazed, but the burrs on the edge made him immediately realize that it was a paper box.
Thought: It's really weird. I opened the box carefully and found a small oval flat box inside. The material was neither jade nor porcelain. It also seemed to have a layer of enamel like the paper box, but the color was unprecedented on porcelain.
It’s an extremely delicate pink, and it’s very light to buy. Mr. Gao sells foreign goods all year round, and he is well-informed, but he can’t tell what it is made of. It looks similar to the powder box used by the woman. I tried to lift it, and it turned out that it was made of pink.
The lid of the box opened easily like a shell, only to see a bright area inside. Looking at it intently, I couldn't help but feel ashen!
