9. Thomas
Not long after Master Li sent the two away, when he was about to eat a few more bites of bread, the hatch door was knocked open again, and Zhang Shun suddenly came in and walked up to him with a ghostly head.
"Young master, there's a place you should go and see!"
"What place? What about Zhao Long? ”
"Brother Zhao has already taken someone to watch there!"
"Huh?" First, Zhang Shun came to report with a sneaky appearance, and then Zhao Long personally went out to guard, which made Li Mo interested? Could it be that I had just drawn a big pie here, and a vault was found on this ship?
"Not that coincidental, right?" Thinking of this, Li Mo hurriedly asked Zhang Shun to lead the way, and with the narrow passage below the deck, the two soon came to a hatch.
Seeing that Zhao Long was actually guarding the door at the moment, he hurriedly asked, "This is here?" ”
"Young master, this is what Zhang Shun found just now, and there is a large warehouse behind it." Zhao Long bowed.
"Big warehouse? What's so strange? Li Mo was puzzled, it was normal for a steamship of five or six hundred tons like this to have two or more cargo holds, especially since the cabin where they were held yesterday was not large, so he knew that this should be a multi-cargo ship.
"Not just the warehouse, but a person?"
"Alone?"
Under the leadership of Zhang Shun and Zhao Long, Li Mo soon met the mysterious person in the mouths of the two.
Foreigner, young foreigner, probably in his twenties, quite handsome, with beautiful black curly hair, maybe he hasn't seen the sun for a long time, his skin is whiter than that of a woman, but more beautiful than those blonde curly hair aliens!
But this is not what makes Li Mo strange, but this young man is actually tied with his hands and feet, and a ball of rags is stuffed in his mouth.
"Was he caught as a pig like himself?" It's not right to think about it, if you are a piglet, why should you be locked up in this hidden place alone? And also gagged, this is obviously the treatment of felons.
"Or did you offend the bearded captain? But what exactly was done? Will be tied up like this? As Li Mo motioned to Zhao Long to uncover the cloth in the young man's mouth, he finally ended his blind guessing.
"Who are you? What about Rudolph? Let go of me, let me out! After the contents of his mouth were removed, the man, who was already terrified, quickly shrank into the corner and shouted in English.
"Damn, it's foreign again, I don't know if your grandfather Zhang hates bird language the most!" Hearing the young man's roar, Zhang Shun kicked a few times, which made the other party stop a little.
"Grass, what is the language of birds? The young master also speaks foreign languages! Li Mo, who was full of black lines, kicked Zhang Shun. Give me a tap! ”
I was wondering why the young master kicked himself, hearing this, Zhang Shun suddenly remembered that the young master could also read foreign languages, didn't he think the young master had to be a bird when he said this? Hurriedly lowered his head and laughed: "Hehe, I don't mean young master, how can you compare with these foreign barbarians, I listen to the foreign language you say to Huang Li!" ”
"Orioles are birds, too!" Li Mo stomped Zhang Shun a few times, ignored him with bared teeth, and sat down opposite the young man.
Zhao Long bit his mouth to prevent himself from laughing, walked up to Zhang Shun and whispered, "You deserve it." Only then did he stand behind Li Mo and protect him at any time.
Knowing that the horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg, Zhang Shun had to turn around stupidly and ran to the hatch to be a gatekeeper.
"What's your name? Is it the British, or is it the French? Li Mo sat opposite the man and looked at the other party carefully, "Ya, the skin is good, put it at the gate of the university after a hundred years, it is definitely the best choice for that horse!" ”
"Thomas. Moon, Englishman, don't mix me with stupid Frenchmen, to be exact, I say English Jews! The man looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, maybe he didn't expect the other party to be so fluent in English, but when it came to his identity, he still looked very arrogant!
Can't you be arrogant! They are not only the people of the so-called Empire, but also a group of other people who are known as "holding the secret book of wealth in sheep's clothing", think of those great names, Einstein, Fleming, Rockefeller, Morgan, Marcus Samuel, Lyman Brothers.
God, even though it's 1889, the economic black hand of the Jews still looms over the whole world!
However, this kind of arrogance has no effect on Li Mo, not that he does not know the deeds of the Jews, but in the era of information explosion, he has heard too much, and he has become a little aesthetically fatigued.
Li Mo continued to ask with an expressionless face: "Why are you locked up here?" ”
"What about Rudolph?" Thomas was even more unanswered.
"On it! Now the ship is mine! Pointing to it, Li Mo's teeth were a little itchy. Ya, pretend to be confused with me, you'll cry in a while! ”
"What? It's yours? Are you pirates? Hearing that Rudolph had been captured and that the ship was gone, and thinking of the cruelty of the pirates, Thomas became nervous again.
"Don't be nervous." Li Mo comforted: "Tell me, how did you get tied up here?" ”
"I'm British, student! I just wanted to take Rudolph's ship to the United States, but Rudolph lied to me, he went to Canada, so I beat him and was locked up here, I don't have any money, please let me go. Thomas looked at Li Mo pitifully, hoping to arouse the young man's pity.
"Oh?" The corners of Li Mo's mouth twitched. "Bastard, you can't make up nonsense, what's the difference between going to Canada and going to the United States? I really don't understand anything! ”
Li Mo stood up and carefully inspected the large warehouse, only to see that it was full of large and small boxes, as well as a few unknown machinery, and most importantly, two small boilers, so he asked in surprise: "Oh, it seems that it was a misunderstanding, but Mr. Thomas, can you tell me what these machines are used for?" ”
Thomas didn't know that Li Mo had seen through his lies, and although Li Mo was fluent in English, he still believed that these short and ignorant guys with big pigtails didn't know the relationship between the United States and Canada. So when he heard Li Mo's question, he hurriedly said: "I don't know about this, maybe it's the goods brought by Rudolph." ”
"Oh!" Li Mo let out a long sigh, but the essence in his eyes flashed. "Looks like there's not enough blood! Ya, otherwise, how dare these foreign devils come to fool the young master one by one? Thinking of this, he immediately waved his hand and checked the cargo in the cabin alone.
got the instructions of the young master, and Zhao Long didn't talk nonsense, mainly because he didn't understand what Thomas said, so he didn't bother to waste his tongue, and directly dragged the latter out of the cabin.
Stroking a machine that he didn't know what it was used for, Li Mo's eyes fell on a dozen oil drums not far away. As his gaze moved, several boxes in the corner suddenly caught his attention.
The shape of the box made his heart beat faster, because he had seen a chest of this shape in the Military History Museum before, it was .......
Sure enough, as he lifted the lid of the box, what appeared in front of him made Li Mo excitedly want to sing loudly, this thing in front of him, how many hardcore military fans in China had been envious!
Mauser 1888 is still a rigorous German style, but it opened the prelude to the history of modern rifles, which can be called the supreme masterpiece in the eyes of military fans.
Sixty Mausers, plus five large boxes of bullets and a barrel full of gunpowder, with these treasures, where else can you go?
"God, you finally helped Lao Tzu!" The resentment against the thief God for letting him cross was mostly resolved at this moment, but the ensuing fog made Li Mo even more confused.
"Who the hell is this Rudolph, who can get his hands on the Mauser rifle that has only been around for a short time, and these machines, what the hell are they going to do? Gunpowder can open mountains and blow rocks, but does it have to be such a good gun? ”
"No, these guys are not as simple as mining a mine!" Thinking of this, Li Mo's heart was like dozens of ants scratching again, and he hurriedly put away the rifle, and took care of Zhang Shun After not allowing anyone else to come in except him, he immediately walked to the deck.
