Chapter 293: Huaguo in 1921
Qiao Mu Huoran turned his head, and saw a group of more than ten people on horseback on the edge of a cliff not far away, watching him nervously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
They were all dressed in black, with chic black hats on their heads and strange tattoos on their faces.
Qiao Mu stared for two seconds, saw the nervousness of these people, and then flew over.
Seeing him fall from the sky, the tension on the faces of those people increased, but none of them retreated.
Someone subconsciously raised the gun, but was stopped by the man in the center waving his hand.
Based on the reactions of these people, Qiao Mu guessed their leader.
He looked at the man, who looked about thirty years old, with a resolute face and a wary look in his eyes.
"You're Adebe?" Qiao Mu asked.
He had already known about this person's existence from O'Connor and the others.
For the descendants of the pharaoh's guards who guarded this place, Qiao Mu was curious and a little appreciative.
A hint of discoloration flashed in Adebe's eyes, and he bowed his head and said, "I am, what do you call me?" ”
"I'm Arbor, the owner of the Time and Space Tavern." Qiao Mu smiled and spoke.
A black card appeared in his hand, it was the VIP card of the tavern, and it was thrown towards Adebe, and finally landed firmly in his palm.
"Through it, you can find taverns." Arbor Road.
Adebay looked at the black card curiously, and with the cold touch, a message entered his mind.
The tavern's VIP card is made by Lolita using the tavern's energy, and in addition to helping the owner to be alerted and located when the tavern appears, it also contains the tavern's trading rules.
After absorbing the information, Adebe's face was irrepressibly excited.
"No wonder those three people have such extraordinary powers, I see!" He muttered.
"What about others?" When he came to his trance and wanted to look for the arbor, he found that the arbor had left without knowing when.
"Chief, he's gone." A young man next to Adebay said.
The young man's face was shocked, and he said in a trembling voice: "His speed is so fast, he disappeared in the blink of an eye!" ”
Naturally, Arbor used the Green Goblin suit.
With the Green Goblin suit, he can surpass the speed of sound!
Along the way, the arbor silently felt the scenery of this world.
Compared with the world in which Qiao Mu lived, the world of "Mummy" in 1921 was too barren after all.
Not to mention that those high-tech items have not yet appeared, even the lives of the people are far from being comparable to later generations.
He traveled eastward, and most of the countries he passed through were at war.
The artillery fire and the displaced people, the howling and the blood, made Qiao Mu completely see the cruelty of the war years.
He killed some people along the way - all of them were self-conscious, and seeing that he was so generous, there were gangsters and hooligans, just local warlords, or colonial troops stationed in certain countries.
Civilization begins with barbarism!
Just as the peaceful reunification of all dynasties was formed by the accumulation of white bones, modern civilization began with the bloodiest and barbaric seafaring colonization.
The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle, and so it is for eternity!
And the existence of arbor is a huge bug for this world.
The ordinary weapons of this world could not kill him at all.
What's more, even if he encounters a mortal situation, he will have to change the portal with himself as a coordinate and hide in the tavern.
A day later, Qiao Mu finally arrived in Huaguo.
More precisely, it is Dingbei City, located in Anbei Province in northwest China.
It is known as Chang'an, and it is one of the cities with the longest history in China.
Qiao Mu is no stranger to this city, and in the world he lives in, he was born in Anbei Province and has lived in Dingbei City for a long time.
Of course, the two worlds are not exactly the same, not to mention, the ages in which they live are very different.
The Dingbei City of this world is inferior to the small towns in the world where the arbor is located.
Although the city is not small, it is very dilapidated, the main street is paved with blue floor tiles, and on both sides are quite "ancient" shops, made of bricks and stones, the walls are mottled, and the cloth signs are hung, swaying in the wind, like a swaying ghost.
Even the city wall looked very dilapidated, with potholes in many places, and even cracks the width of a palm.
Qiao Mu sighed, but he was not surprised.
The city wall was repaired many times before it became what the trees saw on the earth.
As for the streets, there were not many pedestrians, most of them dressed in shabby black or gray cloth, and each of them was depressed and evasive, as if they were lowly ants.
Some pedestrians pushing wheelbarrows are even more yellow-skinned, and occasionally there are merchants carrying flat poles.
The only slight exception was those in military uniforms, who, even if their clothes were equally shabby, and some of them were washed white or had holes, hooked up in groups, laughed and laughed, or ate rough food from the merchants' baskets, without taking out a copper plate at all.
This is the soldier under the rule of the warlord, although it is not absolute, but according to Qiao Mu's observation, there are many such people.
"Defend your family and country, hehe, probably just want to keep your wealth." Qiao Mu sneered at the corners of his mouth, sneering at those warlords.
He wore a simple sportswear, but this kind of dress in this era could be seen by anyone to be by no means comparable to their ordinary cloth clothes, so even those ruffians who pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers did not dare to be presumptuous when they saw him.
After all, this is a warlord warlord war, and even those soldiers have inferiority engraved in their bones.
This is the saddest impact of the country's weakness.
Qiao Mu's movements were not fast, and he walked slowly on the street, observing the people and things around him.
Relatively speaking, Dingbei City in this era was quite peaceful, at least not as good as some coastal cities, and was openly regarded as an uncle by a group of foreigners, and conflicts broke out from time to time, allowing the people to experience the tragedy of a "third-class citizen".
Qiao Mu soon saw a restaurant called "Bincui Building".
According to its scale and decoration, Dingbei City should be regarded as the top level in this era.
Qiao Mu entered the door, and the guy in a black shirt and a small blue hat hurriedly greeted him and greeted him eagerly.
In front of a wooden table alone, Qiao Mu first asked the other party to recommend a few signature dishes, and then stretched out his palm and slowly spread it out.
In the palm of his hand, there was a golden ring engraved with ancient Egyptian inscriptions, which Qiao Mu had brought from the pharaoh's treasury.
When he saw the ring, the man with a humble smile on his face, who was about to leave, swallowed hard, and his eyes erupted with greed.
"What do you mean?" He struggled to speak.
"I'll ask you a few questions, and if the answer comes out, it's yours." Qiao Mu smiled, "It's a pure gold ring I brought back from abroad. ”
The guy nodded busily: "As long as I know, I must say it." ”
