Chapter 2: Pirates in the Backyard
The camera in the display shows that the image is thrown into the wormhole in real time, but unexpectedly, the wormhole not only swallows the camera, but also seems to swallow the video signal at the same time, and nothing can be seen in the display frequency, and it is completely dark.
"I'll go, my camera won't just be gone, will it?" Sun Wenbin hurriedly pulled the USB cable out of the camera again, and at the moment when the camera was dragged out of the wormhole, the image taken was miraculously displayed on the screen.
"What's going on?" Yang Minghuan curiously took the camera and threw it into the wormhole again.
As before, the camera lost its image the moment it entered the wormhole, and it returned to its dark state.
"What's going on? Can't the camera transmit the footage? Or is it black to enter a wormhole? Sun Wenbin is full of curiosity about his camera. Why don't you throw your camera over and take a look? ”
Du Yande couldn't stand Sun Wenbin's agitation, removed his camera from the monitor, hesitated slightly, and threw it into the wormhole.
There is no suspense, the monitor is still showing a dark picture. "It seems that it is impossible to get a picture of the situation over there through the camera, but you can't just go over and see it...... What are we going to do? Yang Minghuan couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
"This may not be so troublesome, the wormhole is originally negative energy and negative mass to keep open, and it is not particularly strange if these things are shielded from the input and output of the current." Du Yande thought about it for a while, and immediately came up with a bad idea. "Let's use a mobile phone to turn on the shooting mode and hang it, and the things that are photographed will never be erased on the memory card, so we should be able to take pictures. We'll just need to reopen it here and see. Sun Wenbin, take your phone and use it. ”
"Don't even think about it! I've only bought my phone for three months, and the one next door doesn't have a phone that has been left there and useless? You won't borrow it, will you? Sun Wenbin felt very depressed about being always remembered.
So a few minutes later, an old phone tied to a network cable was put into a wormhole with the shooting mode on, and it was pulled over after a minute.
"I'll it! It's a big yard on the other side! Yang Minghuan looked at the backyard surrounded by red brick walls on the picture, with flowers and grass and a small pool. Occasionally, a few men who looked like servants walked quickly near the doorway in the distance, not even having time to glance out into the courtyard.
Although the 3 million pixel image is not very clear, it still captures the general situation of the courtyard relatively clearly, but because of the shaking of the mobile phone around the network cable several times and the shaking picture made the three people feel dizzy for a while.
At this time, the three of them looked at each other, and the discovery of a wormhole was definitely a milestone in the scientific community, at least until now, they had never heard of a real wormhole ever discovered. But the three people here are not physicists, and it is certainly no fun to win the Nobel Prize by studying everything in the world through wormholes. If it is a major news, none of the three people is a media person, and at most they are the parties in the news. Although the discoverer of a wormhole may be mentioned in the news about the size of a tofu block, but that's it?
And Yang Minghuan thought of it not without conspiracy theories that given the impact that the wormhole can bring, the existence of this wormhole and even three people may be covered up...... Just as Americans have always thought that there is a fifty-one district in their country...... In this case, the wormhole can be preserved intact, but three people ...... I'm afraid I'll have to go to the west.
But how big of an opportunity is that? What are the chances of a world where someone has a building and the dress of a servant does not seem to surpass the nineteenth century?
"I think maybe we can have a new world." Du Yande shrunk the wormhole into a ring.
Yang Minghuan immediately objected: "That's not necessarily, although it looks like the building is relatively simple, but it can't be ruled out that it is an ancient building that has been preserved." Wormholes are not something that our technology can toss, since wormholes can connect that time and space with ours, then maybe the technology level of that time and space will be higher than ours. ”
Sun Wenbin nodded. "It's very likely, otherwise we really can't explain the existence of the wormhole, but we have to go over and see it to find out, otherwise we can't find any breakthrough just looking at it here, right?"
After the three of them agreed, they decided to cross together that night, Du Yande found an evergreen training uniform to put on his body, and looked at the other two companions wearing short-sleeved tops and jeans and couldn't help but shake their heads. He picked up a small assault bag and was the first to pass through the wormhole.
Yang Minghuan followed him through the wormhole, and finally Sun Wenbin drew a cross on his chest, and said silently: "I hope that the Time and Space Administration will approve this operation, and may the seniors of the time crossing bless us!" Then he walked through the wormhole without hesitation.
………………………………
"Big boss, there should be a lot of things in this stockade, right?" A one-eyed dragon said to a man who looked like a big leader beside him, "You see there are so many families outside, and the village is so big, it shouldn't be much worse." ”
The big boss smiled and said, "You guy only has one eye, can you see so accurately?" ”
"Of course, the big boss," the one-eyed dragon replied with a smile, "This big Huang family has a few taels of silver, and even the small one can see it." This has been surrounded for three or four days, and even if the owner of this stockade does not surrender, he will come out to sue for peace. ”
The one-eyed dragon's words made the big boss nod secretly, the village in front of him was a wealthy merchant named Huangshi, I heard that Huangshi had a father-in-law Ding as a backer in the palace of the capital, and he was doing foreign trafficking in this Mingzhou city. This time, he brought more than 1,000 pirates ashore to find the Huang family's bad luck.
Huang Shi was standing on the wall at this time, with a sad face. His grandfather's generation was in business, and later came to this Mingzhou City to develop, and after he took over the family property, he actually found a backer in the palace after several twists and turns. However, this backer said that he was Gonggong Ding in the palace, but it also made him feel quite unhappy. Since he found this line, Gonggong Ding almost didn't give him any help, but just got a waist card, which can be used to scare and scare when ordinary officials are deliberately embarrassed, but it is useless for the governor in Mingzhou City. On the contrary, although Gonggong Ding was busy and didn't help much, his appetite for money was not reduced at all, and he had to share the money from Huangshi's business three festivals a year, and from time to time he would send a little eunuch to this Mingzhou City to ask the Huang family to serve. This effect is not a few hundred taels can be satisfied, every time Huangshi has to be quite painfully and has to offer a thousand hundred taels of silver with a happy face.
But Huang Shi also knew that although this Gonggong Ding was a sidelined character in Da Nei, he was not even Mao compared to the nine thousand years old who were rampant in the government and the opposition at this time, and I heard rumors that Gonggong Ding was not in the nine-thousand-year-old camp at this time, and he had been squeezed out of the place. But Father-in-law Ding's side still has to be effective, if even Father-in-law Ding falls one day, the crime of selling foreign smuggling in his own family will be immediately turned into an iron case, and the fans of Dongchang will come to knock on the door immediately. If you encounter a black-hearted person who charges yourself with communicating with foreign countries, even if you don't make a fuss, you have to lose a few heads to finish it, and you and Gonggong Ding are also grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous and one is lost.
However, what he has to worry about now is not that the Ding Gong Guild will seize power in Da Nei, but the more than 1,000 pirates in front of him. Yesterday he had just made a big deal, he had just received 3,000 stone of grain from the countryside of Mingzhou, and sold it to the Maidno maritime merchant who came to buy the grain, and he made a net profit of 30% in the middle, and he also sold a large number of porcelain and silk cotton cloth that were popular among the maritime merchants. The Medeno people are a maritime people, I heard that they had to drift on the sea because of certain things hundreds of years ago, because they set foot in the sea early, so they are familiar with sea life and warfare, and gradually began to dominate the sea and monopolize the sea transportation.
But here's the question, how did these pirates know that they had just made a big deal? Could it be that there is an inner ghost?
He is not afraid of pirates attacking the village, his own village has been operating for decades, the walls of the wall are two zhang high brick walls, the inside of the brick wall is rammed loess, and the outside is poured with glutinous rice juice, extremely strong, ordinary pirates can not break through without siege equipment. Although he has just sold 3,000 stone of grain, there are at least 6,000 stone of grain in the village at present, and he is not afraid of the siege of pirates at all, not to mention that there are clear water springs and sweet water wells in the village, even if the total number of Zhuang Hakka Ding in the village exceeds 600 people, these grains are enough to cover everyone's needs for several years. The only thing he is worried about at this time is the inner ghost, you must know that no matter what dynasty it is, there is a story of attacking the city, and it is impossible to capture a city without more than ten times the strength of the defenders and a long-term siege, but as long as it is out of the inner ghost, even if the city wall is high, no matter how strong the wall is, it is a matter of day and night to be captured.
At this time, Huangshi has been worried about this matter for the past few days, and he has been in a hurry all day long, not thinking about tea and dinner, and there are two fire bubbles on his mouth. The whole house was trembling, lest his words accidentally collide with the master and be dragged out to serve in the family law.
Today, these pirates are still camped outside the wall, and although their camp is not worth the lack of discipline at all, the kind of thing that goes out of the city to harass is only heard in the teahouse when listening to the commentary. If he really wants to let his family and villagers rush out to cover up and kill, he knows that he is two catties, and he still guards the current wall, so as not to be bought by pirates and the ghosts will break the village, and at that time, he can't cry.
At this time, it has been two watches, and the pirates have been surrounding the village for several days, and in the past few days, many pirates have been observed on the walled wall in search of wild meat, and it can be seen that the food carried by these pirates has run out.
At this time, he suddenly heard a gong behind him, and Huang Shi looked back in amazement and saw that it was from the backyard of his house. At this time, the light of the torches in the backyard flickered, which made him feel dizzy for a while, but there was no fire, and it seemed that the pirate ghost had failed to set the fire successfully, and he couldn't help but feel a little lucky.
"Sir! Master! Huang Shi heard a hurried cry from behind the wall, and saw the leader of the courtyard trotting all the way over, obviously running in a hurry, and slipped and fell twice on the steps of the wall before climbing up.
Huang Shi was a little frightened, he, the head of the nursing home, usually does things quite calmly, and it is rare that he is so anxious that he can't even walk steadily, he can't help but turn around and look at the leader of the nursing home.
The leader of the nursing home didn't have any injuries on his body, and he didn't see any blood, but he probably fell a few times along the way, and there were just some stains. He couldn't help but feel a little relieved, "I have something to say!" What is it that alarms you so much? Take a deep breath and say! Although this Huangshi has never commanded a war, he has cultivated the ability to survive in danger after more than ten years of hard work in the shopping mall, and scolded the head of the nursing home in a low voice.
"Master......" The leader of the family took a deep breath, "Backyard...... In the backyard...... Here come three pirates! ”
"Three?" Hearing that three pirates came in the backyard, Master Huang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although he didn't know how the three pirates got into his backyard, but now they must have been caught, since it is always a good thing that there is no loss. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and ordered: "It's just three pirates, just scare you like this, tie them up and throw them in the firewood room first, and then interrogate them tomorrow morning." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand calmly, but his mind turned several times.
At present, the pirates are attacking the village, and the three pirates are naturally not here to smoke at night, and these guards seem to be doing a good job, and the pirates have been captured before they have time to set fire to it. However, since they can get into their backyard late at night in this besieged situation, the skills of these pirates must not be bad, and it stands to reason that arson and sabotage should be a matter of handicap, aren't they in a gang with the pirates outside?
He couldn't help but suddenly think of his collaborator Qiu Dechao Qiu Boss on Baji Island outside the estuary, this boss was also a pirate leader, but it was not all the way to the pirates besieging the city outside. When the pirates outside came, they also called someone to tell Qiu Dechao's name, although they were a little jealous, but they still continued to besiege the city regardless of it, could it be that Boss Qiu learned the news and sent someone to come overnight to find out the situation? But Boss Qiu wouldn't stuff the three pirates into his backyard in the middle of the night anyway, right? He suddenly remembered that he had heard those maritime merchants who had dealt with ocean pirates talk about some of the many Japanese dancers in the big gang, who came and went without a trace and could kill people invisibly......
"Master," the leader of the courtyard hesitated, "these three pirates are a bit weird...... The little ones didn't dare to ...... Rash to do it"
Hearing this, Huang Shi was also taken aback, the leader of this courtyard was his fellow villager, who had almost grown up watching since he was a child, and he said that if he didn't dare, it could only mean that these three pirates must be very threatening. You must know that at this time, pirates often landed and plundered along the coast of Wuguo, even the sailors of Wuguo retreated when they saw the pirate gang at this time, and now even the city wall of Mingzhou City near the sea was also closed because of the long-term robbery of pirates. At this time, since the three pirates sneaked into his backyard silently...... Could it be ...... "Where are these three pirates now?" ”
"The little ones have already surrounded the backyard with bows and arrows, but they are just ......" The leader of the courtyard looked up at Master Huang and lowered his head and said: "The little one thinks that these three people don't seem to have bad intentions." ”
"Nonsense!" Huang Shi was angry for a while, "No bad intentions? Didn't you come to my backyard in the middle of the night to make soy sauce? ”
"Master, none of these three people have weapons, and the leader of them even threw them to the younger one." The leader hesitated slightly, then pulled a small box out of his pocket. "They said a lot of things, but the little ones didn't quite understand."
Huang Shi was stunned for a moment, looked at it and reached out to take the box, the outside of the box was unusually smooth, it felt as smooth as the glaze of porcelain, and it could also reflect the light of the torches on the side, but the edge was rough, and the hairy mouth let him know that it must be a cardboard box.
He gently stroked his long beard and said to himself, "It's really a little weird. As he carefully opened the carton, there was a small cylinder reflecting a golden glow, and he curiously pinched the small tube with two fingers and pulled it out, which surprised him extraordinarily......
At this time, the three people sitting in the living room were a little nervous, and from time to time they looked at the family nursing home standing beside them. These people are not tall, and the tallest is only about 1.5 meters. And most of them are thin and small, most of these family guards have short sticks in their hands, and some of them hide weapons such as iron rulers and short blades under their clothes, but they can be clearly seen.
"It scared the hell out of me." Sun Wenbin took a deep breath lightly and quietly patted his chest.
"That's it, Lao Tzu was scared half to death." Yang Minghuan was also quietly trembling in his legs at this time.
"Don't talk much, they didn't know what they had in mind when they invited us here." Du Yande said softly, his right hand still in his trouser pocket, holding a Swiss Army knife in his hand, and the Phillips screwdriver in the middle opened upwards, peeking out of the fingers of his fist, like a fist stab. If it really starts fighting, although this thing is not powerful, it can immediately make the hit part ineffective.
The three men encountered real danger from the outset. As soon as Du Yande put the wormhole into his jacket pocket and closed the zipper, he heard a gust of wind behind him, followed by a wild bark, which immediately scared the three of them into a cold sweat, and their legs were weak. Fortunately, Du Yande stuffed a capsaicin sprayer in his pocket at some point, and in a hurry, he took it out and sprayed it like a mosquito, which immediately stimulated several unlucky vicious dogs next to him to tears, just barking with his eyes closed. The other dogs who didn't get hit knew what was going on and stopped coming forward, just barking from a safe distance.
Before I could figure out what to do, the red lacquered wooden door of the courtyard was pushed open, and more than a dozen Tsing Yi families rushed in at once, complete with knives, guns and clubs in their hands. The two family members in the distance were still nervously grasping the bows and arrows, although the range of these wooden bows was only more than twenty meters, but the three of them were confident that in the distance of more than ten meters in front of them, it was impossible to dodge the arrows like Quirrell Reeves. From a distance, the arrows on the fully drawn bow were pitch black, and I don't know if they were rusty, but if they were really shot, it would be troublesome to deal with the wounds.
Immediately after that, a firecracker followed, holding a three-eyed firebolt in his hand, the black mouth of the firebolt facing this way, and several rings of firerope wrapped around his hand, surrounding the three time travelers who didn't react at all.
It is obvious that the first aborigines they met in this time and space were not friendly and hospitable, and it didn't matter if they were not hospitable, and at this time, their lives were also in the minds of others. Not to mention this otaku who has just graduated from college, even Du Yande, who has been a soldier, is the first time to encounter this kind of thing.
Du Yande has read a lot of historical weapons on weekdays, and he has always scoffed at the Three-Eyed Gun, which has a range of only more than 20 meters, and the power of this weapon is simply not worth mentioning. But in the here and now, which is less than fifteen meters away from the mouth of the gun, compared to the bad three-eyed gun, the three of them can still hit the three of them with a dazzle, and the three of them don't know what to do for a while.
Fortunately, the family members knew their dogs quite well, and at this time, they saw that these usually vicious dogs were just shaking their heads and sneezing and flying around, but they didn't dare to come forward to bite or approach. After a few seconds of confrontation, Du Yande suddenly became arrogant, raised his hands and said loudly in Mandarin that he was an overseas businessman, strayed into the backyard, and by the way, he took out a bottle of counterfeit Chanel perfume from his backpack and threw it along with the box to show that he had no malice.
I really didn't expect this bottle of perfume to cost less than fifteen yuan to have such a big effect, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the three traversers who almost became the souls of the guns suddenly became guests.
"Lao Du, you worked in Shenzhen, do you think their words are like Cantonese?" Sun Wenbin listened carefully to the careful exchange of heads and ears between the family members, and turned his head to whisper to Du Yande, who was on guard.
Du Yande nodded, "I think so too, if it's Cantonese dialect, it means that we are still on the earth, maybe we have traveled through time and space?" ”
"That's it, you see that the housekeepers outside are still holding torches, and there are oil lamps on the table, which is obviously ancient." Yang Minghuan whispered to the dark oil lamp on the table that looked like the *'s former residence at first glance.
"Surely the wormhole isn't a product of this plane?" Sun Wenbin shrugged his shoulders and stared curiously at the oil lamp on the table, the wick burst with a slight "pop", and a small puff of green smoke rose along the heat.
At this time, Mr. Huang was surrounded by seven or eight family members and walked into the living room, the three of them were frightened and flustered for a while, and now they have settled down, and when they saw a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes walking into this living room, they couldn't help but be curious. Suddenly, three pairs of straight eyes fell on this middle-aged man who was white and chubby.
Huang Shi was taken aback as soon as he opened the box, under the golden tube was a completely transparent small bottle, which contained a golden liquid, a translucent jar extended from the bottom of the tube to the bottom of the transparent bottle, and there was a rich and good fragrance that filled Huang Lao's nasal cavity for a while, making him a little intoxicated.
He is not an uninformed earthen bun, he has seen this transparent bottle, in the early years of Maideno Sea once sold some to Mingzhou City, but those from the Central Continent Yaning Kingdom These things called glass bottles are far less clear and transparent than the one in front of him, and the appearance is also crooked, not as delicate as this. He remembered that the Maidenor Sea, who sold glass bottles at that time, said that this glass bottle was a luxury even in Yaning, and the three pirates threw out a glass bottle as soon as they came up, which was really extravagant. Not to mention the rarity of glass bottles, the golden liquid in it is fragrant, and I accidentally pressed the golden cylinder on the top and sprayed a little on the sleeve, but it was half an hour and the fragrance was still strong. Such a good fragrance is not smelled even in a gouache shop that specializes in buying incense powder.
