Chapter 7: The Silly Roe Deer
Capital of the Republic of Falot, an hour ago.
Tu Xingchuan, who was still taking a nap, fell off the bed heavily, along with a mirror he brought back from his hometown.
"How... What's going on? β
Tu Xingchuan covered his forehead and got up from the floor, and the smell of cinders around him made him very uncomfortable.
He remembers that the campus of the Γcole Polytechnique in Paris was sprayed with strange fragrances every day.
The smell of cinders was something he had never smelled during his two years at the university.
"Denis?"
Tu Xingchuan woke up and called out to his French roommate in French, but no one responded to him.
He sat up from the floor in a daze, holding his small pillow, and after glancing at the scenery in the room, his only sleepiness was instantly awakened by the cluttered layout of the room.
"What the hell is this place? I was kidnapped? β
Tu Xingchuan glanced left and right, the layout of the dormitory had completely changed, and the beds, computers, hanging pictures, bookshelves and other things he was familiar with had all disappeared.
Instead, a large pile of coals piled up in the corner of the room.
At that moment, Tu Xingchuan wondered if he had been kidnapped to the coal yard.
But the strange thing is that his personal belongings are still there, not only the clothes Tu Xingchuan is wearing, but also the mirror that his mother gave him.
Although this mirror has fallen to the ground and shattered, the cracked lens reflects Tu Xingchuan's appearance, which is definitely the kind of handsomeness that will have a girl sneaking to him on the street to ask for WeChat.
While Tu Xingchuan was sorting through the debris, he also found his backpack in this room full of coal.
He checked the contents of his backpack, and everything that belonged to him was gone, except for the French textbook he had used for class.
Two mobile phones, three full mAh power banks, wallets, and a box of cookies that I bought last night and haven't eaten...
If he was kidnapped, the kidnappers would be too weird... Only took the unfinished project and French textbook in his school bag?
Tu Xingchuan sorted out the things in his backpack and came directly to the window of this room.
The scenery outside the window made Tu Xingchuan stand in place for three seconds, and finally confirmed one thing...
He... It seems like... Crossed?
Tu Xingchuan rubbed his eyes to confirm that he was not mistaken, he had studied in Paris for almost two years, and his familiarity with Paris was second only to his hometown of Beicheng.
But Tu Xingchuan, the city outside the window, is definitely not the Paris he is familiar with, at least not the Paris of 2020.
The jams of cars on the streets have all disappeared, replaced by horse-drawn carriages and a kind of bell-and-bell cart that runs on the tracks.
Am I traveling back in time to France in 1868?
An excited emotion surged into Tu Xingchuan's heart, and under the effect of this excited emotion, the original fear of coming to a strange world was instantly diluted.
Tu Xingchuan had already rehearsed countless kinds in his mind at this moment... The story of a magnificent adventure in this new world as a time-traveler, and then get ahead!
As a man of action, Tu Xingchuan did not hesitate and directly carried his backpack out of the coal mine accumulation yard all the way to the street.
Where to start your own saga? Tu Xingchuan thought excitedly, is it to invent the AC motor, or to invent the flying machine?
Or do you want to fall in love with that aristocratic lady in Paris first?
As a qualified science and engineering dog, Tu Xingchuan's strong knowledge reserve is also the reason why he is so excited to come to this world.
While Tu Xingchuan was still making some unrealistic fantasies, he sensed that someone was staring at him.
Tu Xingchuan looked at the source of his sight and found that it was a little beggar sitting on the side of the street.
It was indeed a little beggar, and the beggar was very thin, and he was curled up at the corner of the street... His face was covered with soot-like filth, making it impossible to see what he looked like.
It's just that his eyes were very surprised when he looked at Tu Xingchuan, and he was so surprised that Tu Xingchuan felt that he was a silverback gorilla mixed into the crowd!
Come on! Have you ever seen such a handsome silverback gorilla?
Tu Xingchuan is still very confident in his appearance, but he is also very kind, and he has nothing to give to him when he just crosses over.
"Take it, you should be able to understand French."
Tu Xingchuan took out the wafer biscuits that he hadn't eaten before from his backpack and gave them to the little beggar.
The words spoken by the pedestrians around him were all in French, but the little beggar didn't seem to understand what Tu Xingchuan said, and his eyes were still 'as if he had seen a ghost'.
"Don't look, you'll hear my name resounding throughout Grand Paris later."
Tu Xingchuan felt that he had done a good deed, and after waving his hand at the little beggar, he left with a comfortable face.
He was excitedly recalling what had happened in Paris between 1860 and 1900.
There are still some major inventions that have not yet come out, and you can rely on modern knowledge to 'pick peaches' in advance.
But Tu Xingchuan's fantasy didn't last long, and reality directly gave him a big ear scraper, telling him that you are thinking about fart!
It's really a big slap in the face.
Tu Xingchuan didn't pay much attention when he walked down the street and passed by an alley, when a man walking by suddenly punched him.
This punch hit Tu Xingchuan suddenly, and Tu Xingchuan stumbled, and his whole body was pushed into the gloomy alley uncontrollably.
"You... What do you mean? β
Tu Xingchuan only felt that his cheeks were painful, the bridge of his nose seemed to be bent, and the blood flowing from it dripped straight to the ground.
In the face of Tu Xingchuan's loud questioning, the man just wiped the blood stained on his fist with his fingertips, and looked at Tu Xingchuan who was forced into the alley with a playful look.
"Wilson look! This yellow man can even speak our language, which is quite standard! β
Yellow people?
Tu Xingchuan should have thought that the situation of the yellow race in the world from 1860 to 1900 was not very good... But not to...
And Wilson... He still has accomplices?
Tu Xingchuan quickly looked behind him, and as a result, he saw a scene that almost made him vomit.
Behind him was a man with a dagger, his hands stained with blood, and at his feet lay a bloody corpse, the skin of which had been stripped from its surface.
"It's useless for the animals to know our language, so there's no need to have feelings for them." The man, known as Wilson, wiped the blood from the surface of the dagger with his hand.
"Also, hurry up and finish this, I'm a little thirsty." The man who stood in front of Tu Xingchuan said.
What's going on? What's going on! Murderer? The security in this era is really poor, how to get out?
Tu Xingchuan's mind was racing wildly, and suddenly he saw a person dressed as a police officer walking by at the exit of the alley.
This made Tu Xingchuan instantly feel that he had grasped some life-saving straw, and he shouted to the police officer for help in French.
"Mr. Policeman, there is someone here who is trying to murder! Please help me! β
Tu Xingchuan's voice shouted loudly, and the officer noticed the situation in the alley and quickly walked over to check.
This made Tu Xingchuan instantly relieved and felt that he was saved, but the conversation between the police officer and the man in the next second made Tu Xingchuan's mood fall into the ice cellar.
"Can you keep them quiet while you deal with these yellow people?" The officer said to the man with a frown.
"Yes sheriff, it's the first time we've met a yellow man who speaks our language, say hello to Mayor Renard on my behalf."
This series of conversations made Tu Xingchuan's heart seem to fall into an ice cellar.
The police officer just left, without even looking at Tu Xingchuan...
The excitement of crossing into a new world disappeared in an instant, and a sense of despair quickly spread in his heart.
After the man finished talking to the police officer, he walked towards Tu Xingchuan with a smile on his face, Tu Xingchuan instinctively wanted to resist, but the strong man named Wilson behind him had already come to his side.
For a moment, Tu Xingchuan only felt that his head was hit hard against the wall beside him.
The intense feeling of vertigo made him fall to the ground in an instant, unable to move, and he could still hear the man's conversation in between the vertigo.
"Don't just die, I'll anesthetize you and then peel off your skin so that the city can absorb more nutrients."
That's it?
Fear and despair overflowed Tu Xingchuan's heart, Tu Xingchuan struggled with all the strength in his body, he didn't want to die yet...
That annoying mom and dad at home are still waiting for him to go back!
But Tu Xingchuan's abdomen was kicked by the other party again, Tu Xingchuan fell to the ground and covered his abdomen, staring at the strong man Wilson with a dagger with frightened eyes.
He raised the dagger in his hand and prepared to stab at Tu Xingchuan... Another dagger came out of nowhere and stabbed Wilson in the neck.
Wilson, whose neck was slit, fell directly to the ground, and a black shadow also fell from Wilson's back to Tu Xingchuan's side.
It's the little beggar from before! After killing Wilson, the little beggar did not hesitate to wave the dagger in his hand and threw it at the other man.
But the guy's movements were faster than the little beggar, and the moment he dodged the dagger, he grabbed the little beggar by the neck and pressed him against the wall.
"Where did you come from?"
There was anger suppressed in the man's voice, as if he wanted to break the little beggar's neck directly.
Opportunity... It's an opportunity.
Tu Xingchuan had also received martial arts training from his father, and the scene in front of him made him hold his body, and then found a wooden stick in the corner of the alley and knocked it heavily on the man's back.
The blow briefly knocked the man unconscious, and the little beggar seized the opportunity, and another dagger slipped from his hand, then piercing the man's chin.
The man's brain was pierced and he fell to the ground heavily.
In the blink of an eye, there were two more corpses in the alley!
After the little beggar landed on the ground, he didn't hesitate anymore, and directly grabbed Tu Xingchuan's hand and said loudly.
"Come with me!"
He uses Chinese, it shouldn't be said that it's him, it's she...
Her voice was very crisp, and at the same time, the palm she held Tu Xingchuan was warm and tender, so delicate that it was definitely not a man's hand.
This little beggar is a girl!
