In the wax moon, with a few strong winds blowing, the sky is also cold day by day. The day under the snow is getting bigger and bigger. Push the door, because it had just snowed last night, and the snow-covered earth was getting thicker and thicker.

Using a wooden stick to sharpen his cane, Chen Moran limped out of the stone layer, the abandoned quarry was empty, the semi-trailer truck parked in the stone yard was covered with thick snow, and a dilapidated stone house not far away was emitting a little smoke.

Chen Moran, who let the snowflakes fall on his body, looked up at the lead-colored sky, his face still looked like he was lost and depressed, what happened? What is that fireball? The legendary ball lightning? But why is it ......?

Twenty-six years of Guangxu! 1900......

Time travel! Travel back 110 years......

"Jinling! Shogunate Mountain! ”

Sitting by the door frame, Chen Moran took a tree stick and drew a simple map on the ground, frowning, looking puzzled, since he "settled" here, he has been pondering here, what happened?

"Lightning?"

Writing two words on the snow, he looked at them.

Could it be because of that strange lightning?

Lightning-crossing-car accident--26th year of Guangxu...... All kinds of clues are full of threads in Chen Moran's mind, but he still can't figure out what made him "fly" to this place, especially in this era.

"Damn! If you could really figure it out, you would have become Einstein! ”

Finally, Chen Moran, who was puzzled, smoothed out the words on the snow with the tree strip in his hand, and then folded the branch and threw it aside. Turning around, there was a faint pain in his left leg, which made Chen Moran frown.

"This leg...... Ay! ”

Looking at his injured leg, Chen Moran couldn't help but let out a long sigh, this broken leg is a fucking waste now, although he thought so in his heart, he walked towards the outside of the quarry with crutches under his feet.

The north wind is howling, the cold is blowing, and the snow is falling. On the snowy road in the field, a donkey cart carrying firewood is struggling to move. The handlebar-style wrapping cotton of the car breathed into the palm of the palm from time to time.

Shunzi, who was driving the car, turned his head to look at the side of his hand and understood his ears, and Chen Moran, who was crying and laughing, was happy.

"Brother Ran, just rush your hair, if it was left ten years ago, this time I entered the city, I am sure that people will click it!"

"Junko, no one will dare to cut me now!"

"That's right, I'm going to take Brother Ran, you should be a second devil!"

Wrapped vigorously in the torn cotton jacket in his jacket, Chen Moran, who was so cold that he couldn't hold it anymore, couldn't help but be happy. The second devil is the number one given to him by the people in the village, and the third master who saved himself at the beginning also mistakenly thought that he was a second devil, not to mention others, because he was in Jinling, if he was somewhere in Hebei, he might be treated as a second devil and beaten to death.

"The two devils also have the ability to be the two devils, the ancestors are not easy to sell!"

Chen Moran, who rubbed his hands vigorously, half-jokingly.

"Brother Ran, these two devils can't be done, my father taught me, I can't do the things of forgetting the sect, turn around your hair is long, and you have to continue the braids, look at your hair, I think about the foreign devils in the church, and those two devils."

Compared with Chen Moran's jokes, Shunzi became serious.

"Hey, Shunzi, two hundred and sixty years ago, when the Manchurians came to us, if they kept this braid, they would also forget the sect! It was a shaving of the head that day, and it wasn't a matter of forgetting the scriptures, at most...... Well! Go with the flow! ”

Brother Ran's words made Junko stunned, obviously he hadn't thought about it.

"Brother Ran, there is Jinling City in front! If you hit this, you can see the city walls! ”

Sitting on the donkey cart, the cold wind was blowing over, Chen Moran couldn't help but shiver, listening to Shunzi's words, he looked up and looked forward. It was on this morning that he saw the walls of Jinling for the first time. Looking at the city wall in the distance, Chen Moran's heart couldn't help but be shocked, this was the first time he had seen the ancient city wall of China.

Where is this city wall? It's a mountain.

In the early morning sun, the walls of Jinling placed in the snow are like a blue-gray dragon's back, lying silently in the biting morning breeze. It doesn't seem to have woken up from last night's sleep, and is still lying quietly between heaven and earth.

The donkey cart was getting closer and closer to the city wall. Chen Moran gradually saw clearly, the city wall is made of huge green bricks and stones, some parts are still relatively intact, while some parts are dilapidated, a lot of weeds grow between the cracks of the city wall, the weeds hanging with snow are shaking in the cold wind, and many places on the city wall have cracks, and some of the cracks have grown small trees.

Looking at this magnificent old city wall, Chen Moran felt small for the first time, and finally understood why in many novels, the nomads would always talk about the trembling of the nomads when they saw the city wall for the first time, not to mention them, that is, Chen Moran, who was used to seeing high-rise buildings, was also shocked when he saw the remnants of the old city wall for the first time.

A frozen moat appeared in front of him, and the moat was very wide, at least a few tens of meters. There was a bridge on the river, and the donkey cart walked on the bridge, Chen Moran still looked up at the majestic old city wall from time to time, with amazement in his eyes.

Jinling, these two words are familiar and unfamiliar to Chen Moran. But for decades later, Chen Moran is all too familiar with his other name, Nanjing, where he spent two years.

"Brother Ran, that ......"

After entering the city gate, Junzi looked at Brother Ran next to him, and his tone became a little stammering. He also had to rush to the city to bring firewood, but Brother Ran was going to the city to go around, and it was nothing if he changed others, but Brother Ran had legs and feet.

Shunzi's stammering appearance made Chen Moran suddenly understand the reason, and people still had to send firewood.

"Junzi, then you go to the market first, I'll be alone, I'll wait for you at the entrance of this city at noon!"

"Hey! Brother Ran, wait for me to sell firewood, buy some meat, and wait for you here. ”

In the market, Chen Moran didn't take a few steps, Chen Moran saw the place he was going to find, the big sign with the word "dang" on the side of the corner building on the second floor in the distance was swaying in the wind, and when he saw the word "dang", he showed a smile on his face, although he was on crutches, but his feet were obviously faster.

Walking to the gate of the pawnshop, looking at the tall cabinet in the shop, and the two or three ragged people in front of the cabinet, Chen Moran became a little hesitant,

"The shop is a murder shop, forcing the poor to find a short-term view."

Although I have never been in a pawnshop, whether in the novel or on TV, the pawnshop is by no means a good place.

"Or just accept your fate and be a poor bastard! Either ......"

Thinking of this, Chen Moran raised his cane and stepped into the door. As soon as he entered the pawnshop, he walked to the window of a pawnshop with a height of a person, and took out two things from his arms.

"Horn!"

With a metallic sound, the guy wearing a melon skin hat behind the pawnshop cabinet raised his eyes, and when he saw the two shiny golden guys on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"A piece of broken foreign watches, a miscellaneous silver chain ......"

Sure enough, as soon as the guy behind the cabinet spoke, he almost didn't make Chen Moran angry, Rolex's gold watch and Zhou Shengsheng's platinum Lian turned out to be a silver chain with a broken foreign watch.

"Hey! Blind you dog-eyed thing, show me, what is this! ”

As he spoke, Chen Moran had already grabbed the watch and necklace back in his right hand, and shook it in his hand, scolding unforgivingly.

"The latest Swiss gold watch, the French full platinum chain, when it comes to your dog's mouth, it has become a fucking broken foreign watch, mixed silver chain, a visionless thing that the dog said, call your boss!"

"This master, don't get angry, don't you guy's eyes don't know, don't be like a guy."

As soon as this person came out, Chen Moran was happy in his heart, and he was making such a fuss as he forced the shopkeeper to come out, and wanted to sell these two things at a good price.

"Pillar, bring a pot of tea!"

Yan Wenyuan, who stepped out of the counter, commanded at the counter, and only pointed to the chair near the wall.

"Master, please here!"

As soon as he came out of the closet, he saw this person's short-haired shirt, and he knew that he would receive good things this time.

As soon as he sat down, Chen Moran casually threw the object in his hand towards the tea table between the chairs.

"The shop is a murder shop, the ancients don't deceive me!"

"What Master said is that the shop is a murder shop, there is a void, and the shop is an emergency relief, but it's true!"

With a cup of tea in one hand, Yan Wenyuan still had a smile on his face, a nine-year-old man, twenty-two years old, and thirty years of accumulating this family business, relying on this mouth and the eyes on the mouth.

Although this person is on a broken wooden cane, he is wearing this non-silk and non-satin dress, although he has short hair on his head, but his mouth is full of Beijing official dialect, maybe it is the capital escape, in the past half a year, this kind of person is not uncommon.

"Otherwise you wouldn't have come, no!"

The shopkeeper's words made Chen Moran dumb.

"This shopkeeper is not simple!"

While Chen Moran was thinking about how to answer this sentence, Yan Wenyuan took the platinum chain on the table in his hand.

"Chains! It's a platinum chain that foreigners like......"

As soon as the pawnshop shopkeeper's words came out, Chen Moran couldn't stop screaming in his heart, the next sentence must be to lower the price, looking at the teacup on the table, his heart couldn't help but move.

"Boom!"

The sound of a heavy object sinking into the water and hitting the cup made Yan Wenyuan look up and see that the foreign watch had been thrown into the water.

Seeing the shopkeeper's gaze on the table, Chen Moran reached out and took out the watch from the cup, dangling it in the cup with the strap, and then looked up at the shopkeeper before sinking the watch into the tea again, and at the same time pushing the cup forward.

"Shopkeeper!"

"Ahh

Seeing that the dial in the cup was still turning the watch hand, Yan Wenyuan replied stunned. He has seen too many foreign watches, in his arms, in his waist, and around his neck, but this watch is really the first time he has seen it, not to mention, it's okay to fall in the water.

Just when Yan Wenyuan was stunned, Chen Moran pulled the teacup with one hand, stood up, and buckled it down.

"Don't ......"

Before the words came out, Yan Wenyuan saw the watch and the tea, and fell directly to the ground.

"Whoa, whoa!"

Two voices came one after another, and Yan Wenyuan, who was a little heartbroken, looked away, full of heartache, and couldn't help but scold in his heart again.

"These losers who are sloping birds in the city!"

The pawnshopkeeper's behavior made Chen Moran, who bent down to pick up the watch, feel at ease, picked up the watch, and wiped off the tea ash on it.

"Shopkeeper!"

As soon as he turned his head, Yan Wenyuan saw the watch again, it was complete! The second hand on the dial was still turning, and I was overjoyed, grabbed the watch, and listened to it close to my ear.

"Da, da......"

The sound of the second hand turning was crisp and pleasant, and when he heard this sound, Yan Wenyuan was relieved, but at this time, a voice almost didn't make him throw his watch to the ground.

"This watch, 20,000 taels!"
