Chapter 209 The world is getting worse?(2/2)
"Are you COB Sea Monster..."
For Kong Jiji, who had just crawled out of the sea with a bruised nose and swollen face, these days are undoubtedly an unfavorable time for the passing of years. This bad luck reached its climax after he finally arrived in Canton.
"Kong Jiji, you are a descendant of the Holy Lineage of Kong's family... How can someone who wants to do big things in the future be defeated by this small thing?"
He touched the purr sound in his stomach, like countless times he encouraged himself.
"But I'm really hungry..."
The next moment, he couldn't help but sigh that for the last time he ate a bowl of oyster powder with a very bad taste on the boat a day ago, and then drank a lot of sea water.
After a fight and escape, he had used up all his calorie reserves, causing him to fall into some kind of hypoglycemia murmurs and hallucinations.
Although he initially relied on his good skills and showed his might to defeat him, he was beaten up by more people because he was exhausted and was beaten up by others. He could only jump into the sea to escape.
Because, after he encountered a fairy jumping on the boat and lost most of his luggage, he got off the boat and unfortunately met the gang of the foreigners, one of the three evils in Guangzhou.
These people who live at the bottom of society, have neither legal identities nor daily travel household registration, are important components of the dark side of the society under the dark lights of the Cantonese society. They are like parasites such as bed bugs and fleas, and have long existed in the black market neighbors. They make a living by the excessive resources generated by the operation of this metropolis, gathering all kinds of people, etc.
These include fugitive slaves from other states and bankrupt local households who are desperate, all kinds of criminals, mixed-blood skeletons that were accidentally left on foreign prostitutes after getting ashore after getting ashore, etc., and so on, they do not exist in official statistics.
As the dark side of society, on the one hand, they have short-term livelihoods such as coolies, and on the other hand, they also act as some kind of eyeliner and leaking roles, playing a guest role as a powerful person who cheats or even robs guests when needed.
Of course, as the instinct of survival that has survived through previous attacks and purges, most of them have a wink and aptitude. The Cantonese people in their hometowns will not easily provoke them. Even tourists from other places will be able to choose the target through errands and other servants, and they will observe and think about it after repeated observation.
A local bull from a remote foreign country who unfortunately lost his luggage and stayed alone and had nowhere to stay, was lucky or unfortunately fell into their eyes.
When he climbed ashore from the sea again, he was already covered in sludge.
"My mother, do I want to be hungry on the streets or…"
He was dizzy by the sun in Cantonese. He listened to the increasing frequent protests in his stomach, swallowing the sour water and said sadly in a sad mood.
"I am a man who wants to carry forward the holy vein... How can I become a criminal?"
But when I think of the stereotyped and majestic grandfather's partiality with his cousins, the pressure and expectations of his mother from a famous family, and the bold words he said when he left, I can't help but feel a little depressed and lost.
In fact, he had accidentally entered a temple fair with the crowd. Of course, the surprise sounds of fingering around him were temporarily ignored by him, who was full of hunger and exhausted.
Because before, he planned to sit down and rest, but because of the dirty and stench on his body, he was driven away by the store owner. There were also several beggars who were staring at this with bad looks, staring at this all the way, and he didn't know where to come out to grab the suspected novice who was buying and selling.
Finally, I heard that there was free food donation in the crowd, and at the celebration of the Sea God Temple, he was shocked by the crazy abortions of men, women, young and old. Cantonese people are all such starving ghosts. When he escapes again, he is already dizzy and has been squeezed out. The last little strength is squeezed out and he can only move forward numbly with inertia.
Then he ran into something and knocked away his last bit of consciousness, and fell to the ground like a heavy wood.
Half an hour later, the sea monster that fainted in front of me had been cleaned of seaweed on my hair, seaweed on my body, seaweed on my body, and some messy miscellaneous items. The mud on my face and neck also wiped off, and it seemed that I had recovered a little bit of energy, but there were still some cracks on my face and traces of being acupuncture.
He ate the rice noodles and steamed fruits served by the restaurant in big mouthfuls. He had already piled up five or six sets of empty dishes, but he still had some unsatisfactory mouthfuls of Braluo soup and muttered in a low voice full of food.
"I don't thank you for helping me..."
"I will find a way to return it to you..."
"Of course, I have to wait for me to find a fellow countryman and a place to stay..."
"This thing is pledged and guaranteed."
As he said this, he reluctantly took out a cloth bag from his arms and placed it carefully on the greasy desk.
"Please keep him properly and treat him..."
In our expression of unknown reason, he solemnly spread out his cloth and exposed two short guns.
My guards couldn't help but become nervous and acted to block my face, but I stopped him. Because I could easily see that this was a weapon that could not be fired, because it was all soaked in water.
I took it up with a whisper and gestured to check it out. Although it was soaked in water, it did not affect the exquisite craftsmanship of the short gun itself at all. The lines were smooth and the details were polished by hand. In addition, a small sword-like sharp blade was added to the front end, and a machine spring could be folded.
Although it is a cumbersome style, the overall feel and weight are just right. I guess if necessary, you can double-held it as a weapon for close combat.
"Final Fantasy?... Gunsword"
The mysterious creature seemed to have a sympathy with me and said
"Where did you come from..."
"Of course it's something I made by hand..."
He had no time to think about a bun full of soup into his mouth, and then frowned so hard that he refused to spit it out. Until he swallowed it hard, he took herbal tea and hissed and painful.
"You said you did it yourself?..."
So I was even more curious about his origin and background.
According to his self-introduction, his name is Kong Jiji, and he is a relatively rare Xinzhou man, which is the vast continent on the other side of the ocean.
At least in this time and space line, there are guidance and funding from the predecessors of time travelers. During the Taixing period, Chinese people had discovered a new continent on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and it has been developing for hundreds of years.
For example, they named the continents found in the south and the islands adjacent to the nearshore Da O, Xiao O (it should belong to modern Australia and New Zealand).
The original discoverer, Ma Shizi, was named Da O and Xiao O, because of the winding coast and many places to stop ships. It is called Da O and Xiao O, which means the fjord place. It is also a relatively remote sea vassal in the Southern Dynasty. The household registration of large and small O is only hundreds of thousands, mainly concentrated in Xiao O, which is more suitable for the climate and land. It is known for producing livestock fur and minerals.
On the west, the later American continent, which was more distant to the west, was named Xinzhou, also known as Mizhou, and upper and lower north. It is said to be the descendants of the remnants of the Shang Dynasty who went out to Benbentou. The natives mostly had yellow skin and black hair, so they were named Yin people or Yin species, which was also an imported place for many novel species such as tobacco and pepper in the Southern Dynasty.
Australia and America, which have been inherited for hundreds of years, have developed to varying degrees. However, after all, they are far away from the edge of the traditional world island and have been filled with people, criminals and desperadoes for a long time. Therefore, the overall basic structure is not large. They are subordinate to the Southern Dynasties in the form of vassal regimes, and colonize and expand with coastal strongholds. At the same time, they tame the liver and absorb the local Yin people indigenous people, forming many mixed-race families...
It is mainly concentrated in coastal areas, without a unified regime, but in the form of a loose alliance formed by Wubao Manor, it operates various slave hunts and mines and farms, but other aspects of progress are limited. After all, it is too far away from Middle Earth, and the cost of ordinary products increases with transportation distances and is far from the royal education.
Therefore, the descendants of Chinese people from these places are inevitably regarded as rich people in the countryside, and are still the kind of local bullies in deep mountains and valleys, and are discriminatory.
Kong Jiji is such a Xinzhou man. It is said that his ancestors were Miaoren of the Kong family of Qufu. They came from the lineage of Kong Lingqigong, one of the three heads of the early Beijing University. Kong Jiji's ancestors were intervened in the disputes of succession by the Qubu family.
After coming to Xinzhou, after several generations of hard work, they gained a foothold in the Rocky Mountains named by Liang Gong. Of course, the professions they have been engaged in are no longer related to the scholarly family of Jintang and Yuma. They use mining and casting as their family business.
As the eldest grandson of this generation, Kong Jiji also has the corresponding expertise in casting and molding, and made this pair of guns and swords. As for why he was a very rich family, he was not alone, and why he came to Guangzhou from thousands of miles away, he refused to say more.
"I don't want your mortgage either..."
I thought about it and pushed the thing back.
"These things are a trivial task to me... You don't have to take them to heart..."
"No, my Kong family motto丨The second one is..."
"Of course, if you want to repay me, you can consider working in my house for a while."
I interrupted him slowly and said
"I will provide basic food and accommodation to make you pay for it..."
"I don't know where I can make the Lord like you..."
He hesitated and waried
"Don't you know how to make molded components..."
I was confident and compared those two guns and swords.
“I happen to have a workshop…”
“The treatment conditions can be negotiated…”
