Chapter 58
Along the way, Li Xiu tried his best to avoid the camera and walked, and only after returning home did he move his muscles and muscles to change back to his original appearance.
Li Xiu sat on the sofa, thinking about this journey, deeply felt that it was really troublesome for a stranger like him to live in a modern city full of cameras, and that all the conveniences that a modern city can provide are no longer what he valued, so stay in the city again. Rido is useless.
If he wanted him to hide everything, most of the time he suppressed himself and acted like an ordinary person, and Li Xiu really found it troublesome, and his thoughts were incomprehensible.
So last night he made the decision to move out of the city full of hostility, pressure and desire. Then Li Xiu first called Zhangjia Noodle Restaurant and quit his job, and then called the landlord and his wife for rent and a phone call. , And then returned a new umbrella to the uncle who lent him the umbrella.
Three days later, in a small modern village named Liuhe in Hongdu, a dark-skinned middle-aged man led a calm-faced young man up the mountain.
“Little boss, you see that the road uphill is paved with cement. It is very convenient to walk or drive up and down the mountain on weekdays, so you don’t have to worry about it at all.”
The young man looked at the quiet mountain surrounded by green trees and the air was clear, and nodded in satisfaction.
In less than a moment, the two walked to a spacious yard on the mountainside, and Li Xiu walked in to take a look at the structure and oldness of the house.
After walking out again, the middle-aged man couldn’t wait to ask Li Xiu what he meant: “How is it? Little boss, is this yard okay?”
Standing on the edge of the courtyard, Li Xiu looked up and down along the mountain, and a neat and neat modern village loomed in front of him, followed by a wide green river, which was peaceful and beautiful.
“Little boss, let me be honest with you. If it weren’t for my son who had made a fortune in the south, he would take me to live in the city. I really can’t bear to sell this yard. The quietness of the land is a great place for old-age care. The ground. Usually you can’t hear the firecrackers in the mountain village. You don’t have to worry about being annoying…”
The middle-aged man went on to say, Li Xiu turned his head and blocked his words: “I bought this yard, how much is it.”
Twenty days later, Li Xiu has moved into the renovated mountainside courtyard. The house has been renovated, everything in the house has been renewed, and the furniture is made of antique solid wood.
The whole house is always scented with quiet and natural woody fragrance, and the occasional mountain wind passing through the hall is even more refreshing.
One day, Li Xiu sat in the hall and closed his eyes to explore the virtual world with his “power” as usual. In the past few times, he encountered either the love city or the low-spirit virtual world like Ye Wen and Huo Yuanjia. He entered the real world. It is time consuming.
This time I finally got a reward. Li Xiu opened his eyes and measured it for a moment. A hint of joy flashed on his face: “Is this world? It’s just right that the force is not high or not lower than me. It seems that I have good luck today.”
Then Li Xiu walked into the house and changed a lot of dresses in the Republic of China that he was preparing to cross the border, and he held it with his left hand and immediately turned a cloud of ink into a black umbrella and appeared in his hand.
As Li Xiu mobilized his power to break the boundary, everything in front of him outside the umbrella became blurred. When he came back to his senses, there was already another strange scene around him.
Shanghai in the 1940s was a dark and chaotic era. Many gangs took advantage of this. The most powerful and rampant were the Axe Gang and the Crocodile Gang.
These two gangs, smokehouses, munitions, and nightclubs are omnipotent. The gang members are doing blackmail, robbery, and kidnapping. The entire Shanghai Beach is shrouded in the prostitution of the two gangs. Even the police patrolling the house dare not slap their beards. , Can be described as covering the sky with one hand, not forever.
In a dark alley, Li Xiu dissipated the black umbrella and walked out in a formal suit, unobtrusively mixing into the pedestrians on the street.
Various buildings full of characteristics of the Republic of China, theaters, banks, tea houses, commercial houses, etc. are neatly arranged on both sides of the road. The neon signs of the nightclubs and karaoke halls in the dim lights are so eye-catching, a unique atmosphere of old Shanghai. Bashing.
Walking on the street, Li Xiu could see a lot of rickshaw drivers waiting next to the shops, people in all kinds of costumes coming and going, coolies, scribes gowns, and loose suits and formal suits.
There was even a tram that drove sideways in front of Li Xiu along the electric track, which was another novel sight.
If Li Xiu is able to traverse the ten thousand realms freely after gaining “power”, what he cares most is that he can get rid of the mundane and hope for longevity. The second benefit is that he can personally see and participate in these ten thousand realms. The scene is so different, it’s amazing.
After Li Xiu walked along the street for a while, he brought in a rickshaw and got on it: “Take me around.”
Although the rickshaw driver felt a little strange, he pulled up the lever and started a trot.
After a long time, when Li Xiu was about to turn around, he asked again, “Do you know where the Axe Gang is? Take me there.”
Hearing these words, the rickshaw, which was still very stable and comfortable, suddenly shook, and then stopped.
After the rickshaw driver parked the rickshaw on the side of the street, his face was full of embarrassment and fear. He wiped his sweat a little begging and said: “Boss, don’t be embarrassed. It is not easy for a small family to raise a family. The axe…”
Li Xiu thought of what he wanted to say next, so he reached out and took out a small piece of gold from Kabuto and threw it to the rickshaw driver.
“That means knowing, take me there.”
The rickshaw driver naturally reacted to taking the gold, wondering that the weight of the touch was not a big ocean, but when he took out the thing in his hand and shone it under the light, his eyes almost dazzled.
The rickshaw driver stared out, and it was actually Huang Chengcheng’s gold. After confirming it, he quickly grasped it in his arms, and looked nervously around, but others could see it.
Then he changed his face in an instant, with a smile on his face, and he continued to bow at Li Xiu and nodded: “Hey, boss, you are so lavish, the younger one wishes you good fortune, the younger one will take you to the boss.”
Ten minutes later, the rickshaw stopped in front of a weird long alley. There were few pedestrians on Louxin Road and Xindan Road. Occasionally, there were a few strong men in black walking around, all with gangster expressions.
When Li Xiu got out of the car, the rickshaw driver was afraid that the people in the alley would see him. He pulled up the rickshaw with a panic expression, and fleeed like a fast walk!
Li Xiu walked into the long alley as usual. On both sides of the road, except for the tea house and restaurant, there is no one in the business. There are everything for smoking, gambling, and meat restaurants. They are all luxurious, but except for what looks like an axe gang. There is no outsider to help the crowd, it looks a bit deserted and strange.
Although Li Xiu is also completely black, it is obviously not at all compatible with the atmosphere of this long alley at this time.
Before he walked far, an axe helped the little boss and brought a few younger brothers over, waving his hands arrogantly and impatiently at him.
“Hey, don’t you know if you don’t have to play today? Go ahead and go!”
