Chapter 1 The Little Liar at the Station
Chimneys towered in the distance, and black smoke rose in the white snow-capped mountains. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The whistle shrieked and shrill as a behemoth docked at the newly built station, and the crowd of onlookers rushed to see the first train in the South!
The station has been built for a long time, but the train arrives on the first day, so there are especially many visitors.
Prosperity means business opportunities, and clever people do their own small businesses......
"You have a ruddy complexion, you must have had a good relationship with women recently, what? If you want to make more progress, I can help you pray for blessings......" Tang Qi sat behind a four-cornered table, rubbing a horn totem, shaking his head and flickering the fat belly of the guests.
Tang Qi's eloquence is not good, but the people in this world believe in God very much, and the effect is quite good when fooled.
6 copper pieces were put into the account, Tang Qi tightened his money bag, wrapped his thick cotton clothes tightly, and sighed: "Money is getting harder and harder to earn, and the fortune-telling business seems to be coming to an end." Fortunately, this place is no better than the earth, and if you deceive the nobles, I am afraid that the end will be very miserable. ”
A month ago, I was a college student preparing for my graduation thesis, but I didn't expect an elevator accident in the library to send me to this world. It is not easy to go from the initial pain to the gradual adaptation.
The original owner of the body that was crossed was also called Tang Qi, 16 years old, who died of illness and was crossed by himself.
Although you are not reluctant, but I still want to thank you, Tang Qi sighed secretly.
Tang Qi, who was gradually adapting to his new life, felt that he could live a stable life as a little rich man with knowledge, and by the way, he took care of Tang Qi's mother and sister to repay the kindness of the crossing.
However, since the end of the holy war 500 years ago, goblin technology has gradually revived, steam engines have roared in the mines, and soap, toothbrushes, glass and other things have entered thousands of households...... Nowadays, even trains have appeared.
Trains are available, and cars are probably not far away.
However, technology is by no means the mainstream here, it is a world of supernatural powers.
Magic and fighting spirit, the power that makes Tang Qi a little excited does exist. However, with the holy war five hundred years ago, the magic and fighting spirit have dried up one after another. When the legendary magician who once moved mountains and reclaimed the sea could not summon even a small fireball, and the dazzling sword of the epic knight was as dim as dust, the glorious magical civilization of the ages collapsed in an instant.
In its place is the source force system, a system that is not yet mature.
"Business was good today. The hearty voice pulled Tang Qi back into his thoughts, and it was Tang Qi's best friend William, a teenager with blond curly hair and slight freckles. He glanced at Tang Qi's bulging money bag and teased, "I thought you would trick the nobles into breaking their legs." ”
Tang Qi ignored him, took out 1 silver wolf and 50 bronze leers from his money bag, and then waved his hand into the distance.
"Hey, you're crazy, that's half of your income!" exclaimed William, "and you're going to give them to the homeless!"
As he spoke, several homeless men gathered around, thanked him, and took their share of money from the table. After dividing the money, Tang Qi also looked faintly painful, but still explained:
"The vagabond's intelligence network is no smaller than that of the City Guard, how can I earn 3 silver wolves a day without them. ”
William rolled his eyes, he thought that those homeless people could solve the problem with only two pieces of black bread without sand, and it was a waste to spend 150 copper leers. However, he still spread his hands: "You always have a point, the train is about to leave, do you want to take a closer look." ”
Tang Qi glanced at the crowded crowd in front of the train, shook his head and said, "I want to see the stalls, you can go and see it yourself." ”
"It's such a historic moment, no one is going to steal from you. ”
"If I steal something, it's history. Tang Qi closed the stall as he spoke, he didn't want to lose the new tables and chairs, and besides, what was so good about a train start, and when the train was delayed in the future, there would be enough to see.
Seeing that he couldn't convince him, William got into the crowd with emotion and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Tie the table and chairs together with hemp rope, and Tang Qi lifted it with one hand, and the table and chair fell to his shoulder. I have to say that although the original Tang Qi has achieved nothing, and the source force cultivation is just getting started, the physical strength is also quite amazing in Tang Qi's opinion.
"Wait, pass by the bakery and see if there's any pineapple bread......"
Walking out with the table and chair on his back, Tang Qi carefully avoided the crowd, thinking about what to eat for dinner.
Suddenly, a small figure in a hooded cloak passed sideways and bumped into Tang Qi. Tang Qi, who was carrying a table and chair, stood very steadily, but the other party was knocked to the ground, judging from his size, he should be a child.
"I'm sorry. Tang Qi subconsciously reached out to pull the other party, but was slapped away by a palm.
The other man stood up from the ground, patted the dirt, turned and disappeared into the crowd.
"Whose child is so rude. ”
Tang Qi said secretly, turned around and continued to walk forward. Before he could take two steps, a thunderbolt suddenly flashed in his mind, oh no! Tang Qi hurriedly reached into his pocket, and the bulging money bag was gone.
Damn, does history repeat itself? Tang Qi gritted his teeth, he really couldn't guard against it.
If the money earned in a day is stolen in the cold wind, no matter how good your temper is, you will be furious. Tang Qi handed the table and chair to a familiar snack stall nearby, turned around and chased into the crowd.
It's hard to find a person in a crowd, but it's relatively easy to find a child.
After asking a few homeless people, Tang Qi pushed all the way to the edge of the station, and saw the familiar hooded cloak in the corner.
Finally found it.
Looking at the thief, Tang Qi glanced down, picked up a piece of bluestone, weighed the weight, and then walked up. He can't be careless, thieves generally have dealings with rats in the black street, and if he is not careful, he may be beaten if the money does not come back.
Luckily, it's a bakery, and there don't seem to be rats nearby.
"Hey, you're running so fast, hand over the money you stole from me!" Tang Qi walked up to the other party and said condescendingly.
The other party's thin shoulders shook, obviously startled: "I...... I didn't steal anything from you. ”
Well, thieves generally say that, Tang Qi thought secretly, but suddenly frowned, and the voice seemed to be a girl?
While speaking, the other party raised his head, and under the brim of his hat was a dirty little face, with big eyes overflowing with fear and dazedness, although the face was very dirty, but he could still see that this was just a little girl around 10 years old.
"I didn't steal anything......" the girl said timidly.
Under the girl's pure gaze, Tang Qi had an inexplicable weakness. Only then did he see that the girl was holding a piece of moldy black bread in her hand, and a little girl who picked up the garbage of the bakery to eat could be a thief who had just stolen 150 copper.
"I'm sorry, I made the mistake, but your cloak is the same as the one who stole my money. Tang Qi threw the stone to the ground and smiled awkwardly.
"Ah, this cloak was just thrown away by one person!" the girl hesitated, "I'll take you to him, but I can only point it to you from afar, otherwise I'm afraid of ......"
What a good girl! She is full of kindness to those who misunderstand her. Tang Qi sighed and nodded.
The girl stuffed the bread baby into the cloak, and then led Tang Qi to the crowd, along the way the girl relied on the petite, and quickly shuttled to the front of the crowd with him. Unlike the crowding at the back, the front of the crowd is unobstructed.
Faced with the train that was close at hand, most of the people of Winterfell were still afraid to approach.
Tang Qi was naturally not afraid, but the girl's footsteps stopped, fear flashed on her face, and she suddenly held Tang Qi's hand. The little hands were cold and soft as bones, Tang Qi was surprised, do homeless people have such good skin?
As soon as the thought came to mind, Tang Qi realized his faux pas and quickly shook his head.
"Found it!"
Just as she was about to walk to the train, the girl suddenly stopped, pointed into the distance and shouted, "He stole your money!!"
"Be quieter. Tang Qi was in good spirits and did not forget to remind him kindly.
However, the girl did not seem to hear it, and cried out, "He is the one who stole your purse!
Got you the ...... Tang Qi was stunned for a moment, sensed that something was wrong, and looked in the direction pointed by the girl, and there were eight or nine black street rats gathered not far away, and in the girl's cry, these people also looked over.
The one-eyed man at the head showed an angry and hideous expression, and with a wave of his hand, eight people followed him and ran this way!
Oops!
Tang Qi panicked, at this time, he didn't know that he was deceived by the innocent girl, and he wanted to run, but he was shocked to find that the strength of the girl's small hands was amazing, and she couldn't break free for a while!
"Where do you want to go, big brother?" a crisp voice sounded.
Tang Qi lowered his head and faced the girl's innocent smiling face, which is a girl, it is clearly an evil beast wearing human skin. Looking at the approaching rats, Tang Qi swallowed his saliva, these people are ruthless, they don't dare to kill people in the street, but breaking their legs and feet is a common thing.
Gotta run!
Donkey looked around and his eyes lit up when he saw smoke rising from the train chimney.
Raising her leg to run, the girl stuck like a plaster, Tang Qi laughed angrily, and jerked his foot on the girl's ass. The kick showed no mercy, and the girl was kicked to the ground with a thud.
Tang Qi took the opportunity to withdraw his hand, and instead of running away immediately, he flashed to the girl's side and reached into her cloak.
"What are you going to do!" cried out the girl in a panic as she had experienced such a thing.
However, at this time, Tang Qi had already retracted his hand and shook the money bag at her. Of course, I have to get my money back, and I'm not that generous. All this went smoothly, and it seemed to outsiders that Tang Qi just bent over, then turned his head and ran wildly.
After a few seconds of delay in getting the money bag back, the rat was already chasing after him, and Tang Qi's heart beat faster.
Hiss -
Regardless of the chaos and chase at the station, the train started on time, a piercing whistle, and the wheels roared.
The train moved, the behemoth slowly moved forward, and at this moment the whole station was boiling, and no one paid attention to the fierce chase in front of the train.
Tang Qi seemed to be able to hear the breathing and footsteps of the mice behind him, biting his lip, his feet swinging mechanically faster, close! Very close! With his legs forced, his body jumped out violently, and Tang Qi jumped on the train!
Grabbing the guardrail with both hands, his body accelerated forward with the train, Tang Qi turned his head to see that the eight rats were screaming and scolding angrily behind him, but he didn't have the courage to climb onto the train for this novelty.
Call.
Tang Qi breathed a sigh of relief......
