Chapter 1 Heaven is too far away, San Francisco is too close
Your Long-Term Yanfu Event: Shattering 100 weapons of excellent quality or higher has been completed!
The clue of "Jianhua" has been doing it since Li Yan first entered Yanfu, and he has been doing it in the successive fierce battles of various fruits, coupled with the battle of the Red Mountain Enclosure, Li Yan finally completed the task.
I saw a blood-colored tattoo climb up the back of Li Yan's hand and turn into a one-horned dragon body, lifelike.
You have officially started the Yanfu Incident: Bloody Killing

"Accept them all."
Li Yan's eyelids didn't blink. He sat up and looked around, it was a ship port, and it was approaching dusk, and there were only a dozen people in the entire dock.
Ironclad steamers belching white smoke from chimneys were docked on the sea, and the shore was full of old shacks, with dirty rags of canvas on the ground with slogans such as chinks, fuck off, etc. Beyond the dock are scattered red brick factories. A loud noise and black smoke rose into the sky at the same time.
A dragon-like railroad track weaves through the sea, towns, iron nets, and forests, leading in an exaggerated arc into the distance, towering mountains like clouds......
"Woooooooooo
Suddenly, a whistle sounds, metal pistons move up and down, and on the roof is an armless figure, and a strangely shaped mechanical rail car follows the railroad tracks, past a huge no-entry sign, and up the mountain.
Li Yan could even peek through the car window and see a foreigner wearing a gentleman's hat and a pot-bellied lady and a lady wearing a dress and covering her face with a fan.
His gaze follows the train and the railroad tracks into the distance, and the hill is towering like a cloud, a Gothic Revival castle, and the sunset and colorful fireworks reflect everything in the alpine castle like a fairyland.
There are stock exchanges, theaters, churches, and beautifully shaped storefronts. The majestic building is topped by a huge wooden billboard that reads Welcome to San Francisco. Steaming and bright yellow airships drift slowly through the sky, and the metallic spires are awe-inspiring. The variety of machines that serve humans is dizzying. Beneath their cold exterior is the fiery and surging ambition of human beings to try to control nature.
A disgusting fishy smell came, and Li Yan withdrew his gaze.
The truckload of dead fish was stacked haphazardly, and a few thin hungry people stood sparsely, without exception, these were the faces of Asians, most of them with greasy braids, and the hair of the Heavenly Spirit Gai was shaved off, and they looked numb.
"The new ones! Move these down, and come with me. ”
The man spoke Cantonese, he stood on the dock, the same black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese face, short and fat, garlic nose and mung bean eyes, a long mustache, one foot was a little lame, and he was not tall. Dressed as a cowboy, but also with a braid, it looks nondescript. Behind him stood several thugs with five big and three thick feet, and even foreigners with meaty faces.
Those hungry people responded to the action, but only Li Yan was indifferent.
A sailor who drove away the hungry people came over to push Li Yan, but was knocked away by a strong force, coughing up blood and falling to the sea, which suddenly attracted everyone's attention, and several other sailors with sticks and even guns immediately surrounded them, but before they could react, a sticky and terrifying smell enveloped the audience, and the people on the ship felt violent tinnitus at different times, and some even knelt on the ground and vomited.
The mustache that gave orders was far away, and when he noticed the commotion, he immediately led a limp over, looked around for a while, and said gloomily to the only person standing on the boat, that is, Li Yan, "What are you doing?" ”
Li Yanzheng looked down at himself, he was wearing a rag coat with mud on it, just like these hungry people. There is no doubt that this is where he came from in this world.
In San Francisco at this time, a large number of Chinese laborers gathered. Most of them fled the famine to find a way to survive, so they had to go to the ocean. Or they are deceived by the contracts of black-hearted merchants, or even simply forced to sell. There are a large number of Chinese who gather here to work in the dock, their wages are far lower than those of the locals, and they are cruelly abused and discriminated against.
Seeing that Li Yan didn't answer, a violent look obviously flashed on his bearded face, but somehow, the man in front of him, who was covered in mud and was almost one meter nine, only glanced at him casually, and made him lose the courage to scold.
The mustache cautiously took two steps back and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Li Yan."
Li Yan replied casually.
The bearded man reached out and called a fellow, snatched the roster from his hand, flipped it irritably, and soon, he found Li Yan's name, and his face suddenly danced.
"Oh, Li Yan! I know you, you were trafficked by Governor Liu! It's a demon who was captured after the government suppressed the fist rebellion! You deserved to be beheaded! ”
He closed the account book and walked around Li Yan with a sneer: "You spent the money, and Governor Liu saved your life, so that you can be sold here as a piglet." I don't know how vicious you were when you were in China, but I want you to understand your current situation. ”
The eight-character beard stood still in front of Li Yan, and said with a smile: "You can call me Mr. Wu, I will cooperate with the Americans to build the railway, as long as you work diligently and don't make trouble." You can make enough money to settle down here and become a rich man. However, like everyone else, you have to pay the same ticket to come here, pay for it with your salary for a year, and after a year, you can make money. ”
It's weird......
Mr. Wu sneered in his heart.
Li Yan stared at Mr. Wu directly, until Mr. Wu took two steps back a little uncontrollably, and Li Yan smiled heartily: "Of course it's no problem, Mr. Wu." ”
With that, Li Yan turned around and walked to the cargo pile, carrying the boxes one by one and walking down the boat. Leave everyone with a back.
Mr. Wu's face was a little gloomy, he made a fortune from such a business, and he raised a large number of thugs. There were no less than 10,000 "piglets" in his hands, but for the first time, he felt fear from a piglet, and he vaguely felt that this time it might be difficult to ride a tiger.
Maybe you shouldn't have taken over Governor Liu's business this time.
Mr. Wu had such a thought in his heart.
