"May the powerful God of Time Bless us, and may the Space-Time Administration approve our actions. [No pop-up novel website]. Amen."
After Wen Desi muttered, he was the first to pass through the wormhole carrying the assault pack, followed closely by Xiao Zishan and Wang Luobin.
Wen Desi is a travel enthusiast. He usually has a complete set of camping travel equipment at home, which is considered well-equipped. However, he only chose quick-drying clothing, a survival kit and a multi-purpose knife, and also brought an assault bag to carry the wormhole exit with him.
As for weapons, Wen Desi considered his all-steel crossbow and hunting knife, but after thinking about it for a while, what really happened? It might be a bit mysterious for three urban otakus to compete with people from the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, the wormhole exit can be moved at will. If you are in danger, just open the wormhole and escape. To be cautious, Wen Desi took out three stab-proof vests, some smoke bombs, and an electric shock device, which could be used to escape in an emergency.
Xiao Zishan didn't have this kind of equipment, so he went directly to the military labor insurance stores all over the street and bought a training uniform, a pair of high-top liberation boots, and a replica military backpack.
Wang Luobin is wearing common field work clothes. Everyone brought two days' worth of compressed dry food and several bottles of purified water. I also brought some emergency medicine. This is just to minimize the chance of opening a wormhole and avoid exposure.
Xiao Zishan brought many types of promotional products. I originally planned to bring glass cups and plastic powder boxes, but later I thought it would be better to bring a little of each kind - after all, I didn't know Mingren's aesthetic taste and needs, so I brought more samples to explore. Pathfinding.
After confirming the crossing location, Xiao Zishan went to the library several times, roughly found the current location of Haopan Street, found an express hotel nearby, and rented a room. Then, Wen Desi slightly opened the wormhole at night for several days in a row to observe the environment on the opposite side - Haopan Street is a commercial district after all, densely populated. If you open a wormhole at will, you might end up in someone's bedroom or even on a busy street. To be on the safe side, Wen Desi simply ordered infrared night vision glasses online. If the location is not suitable, you will have to change the location - it's a complete stroke of luck.
According to Wen Desi's several nighttime observations, the space opposite should be the backyard of a certain mansion. You can see many rows of gray brick houses, and there is no one there after dark.
In fact, everyone has no idea what will happen after time travel, and there is no place to consult. The initial plan is to go through it, hide in a secluded place for a while, and as soon as it gets dark, go in and show the shop owner a sample of the goods to see how they react.
It is impossible to predict what attitude the ancient people of the 17th century would have towards these strangely dressed people: whether they would avoid them or attract a large number of people who did not know the truth. There are also language communication barriers. However, according to Mr. Wen, Cantonese is the dialect that preserves the most elements of ancient Chinese, and the difference may not be as big as modern Mandarin.
The time was determined to be around 5 a.m., which was the beginning of Mao in ancient times. It was early and it was still dark. Although there was no clear curfew system in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the nightlife was lonely and there were few pedestrians at night. An investigation will be carried out now; it is too late, and more people are getting up to work, and the possibility of being seen opening the wormhole greatly increases - three people are drilled out of thin air, and it does not cause a sensation in Guangzhou.
Mr. Gao Zhigao always felt that he had trouble sleeping at night these days. The dogs in the hotel yard behind him kept barking every night. The nursing staff went to check a few times, but there was nothing unusual. The warehouse itself is a place where goods are stored. Not only are the walls high, but there are side streets on both sides. Even a first-rate snitch and thief can't sneak in easily. So some people became suspicious, saying that strange lights often appeared in the courtyard in the middle of the night. For a while, people in the high house were panicked. It was fine during the day, but at night, the inn became a place that everyone avoided. The weather is also weird these days. Thunder is always rolling in the evening, but there is no rain. The sky often turns strange purple. Mr. Gao was always in a bad mood, and even his concubine, who was usually the most favored, was too lazy to be lucky.
It's not that Mr. Gao is afraid of ghosts, but that the hotel in the backyard is related to his wealth and life. There are hundreds of merchants, large and small, on Haopan Street, all of whom make money from foreign goods. Now he has turned the goods and silver he got from the Francois last winter into raw silk, satin, and porcelain that the Francois like. He also has a lot of saltpeter and ironware that the imperial court has banned from exporting, just in case something happens. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it cost him his life? It's a trivial matter to kill him. Half of his huge property belongs to Eunuch Yang in the palace. Although Eunuch Yang is not as prominent as Nine Thousand Years Old, his whole family will be wiped out. Not difficult.
The dog was quite quiet that night and didn't bark anymore. Mr. Gao finally had a good night's sleep. He had been sleeping alone in the study because he had been restless these past few days. He got up just after five o'clock. Under the service of the girl, he brushed his teeth with green salt and washed himself. He squinted his eyes and watched half a day. It's half-dark, wondering what the weather will be like, and whether you want to go to the courtyard and have some fun...
There was another burst of dog barking in the backyard, and Mr. Gao couldn't help but be startled. The refreshing mood of getting up early was completely ruined. He gave the cup a heavy meal, and when he was about to call someone for questioning, he saw the head of his nursing home rolling and crawling. Rush into the yard. Mr. Gao's expression changed greatly. This is the inner study room, and the male servants are not allowed to enter unless they come in. The leader rushed in so angrily, and it is obvious that something serious has happened.
"Master, master, the hotel yard... the yard... is coming... is coming..."
"Why are you so anxious? Speak slowly." Mr. Gao has been dealing in foreign affairs for many years and has long developed a calm mind in the face of danger. He only panicked for a moment and then calmed down.
"Backyard, backyard, three Japanese are here!"
Hearing that there were three Japanese people in the backyard, Mr. Gao didn't quite understand how these Japanese people got in, but as long as they were human beings, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How many Japanese people scared you like this! First tie them up." Locked up in the woodshed." He waved his sleeves in an extraordinary manner, but his mind made several turns.
Could it be that someone sent by Boss Wang on Youyu Island has a boat docked now? Gao Ju knew that many of the people in Folangji had Japanese slaves, but now was not the time for the ship to arrive. Besides, as his partner, Boss Wang would not send a few Japanese slaves here without saying hello in advance, let alone sneak them in. Into his backyard.
"Master, these Japanese... are really weird!" the leader quickly reported, "You guys don't dare to act rashly."
"Bullshit! Trash!" Mr. Gao was furious, but he was a little scared in his heart. Although he lived here as a guest from other provinces, he had heard many stories about the ferocious Japanese pirates who raided the coast in the early years. The reason why Haopan Street is now a circle I came to the city because Japanese pirates were rampant back then. These three people sneaked into his backyard late at night without anyone noticing. I'm afraid... Mr. Gao remembered that he heard from Tongri's maritime merchants that there are some alien warriors in Japan who are used to being invisible and killing people invisible...
Thinking of this, I felt great fear in my heart. My original idea of asking my servants to arrest them before talking about them faded away, and I quickly asked: "Where are these three people now?"
"The youngsters are surrounding the backyard with bows, arrows and firecrackers," the leader glanced at Mr. Gao's face, "Looking at their appearance, they don't seem to have any malicious intent..."
"Asshole!" What are you doing here in his backyard without any malicious intent? Are you here to have some light soy sauce?
"Sir, these people don't have weapons. They threw this to the younger one for one of them." The leader quickly handed over a small box from his arms, "They also said a lot of words, which the younger one couldn't understand very well."
Mr. Gao took the paper box over with hesitation, but was surprised. The box was very smooth, as if it had been glazed, but the burrs on the edge made him immediately realize that it was a paper box.
Thought: It's really weird. Carefully opening the box, there is a small oval flat box inside. The material is neither jade nor porcelain. It also seems to have a layer of enamel like the paper box, but the color is an extremely delicate pink that has never been seen on porcelain. , it’s easy to get started. Mr. Gao sells foreign goods all year round and is well-informed, but he can't figure out what they are made of. It looked similar to the powder box used by the woman. When I tried to lift it, the lid of the box opened like a shell, but I saw a bright piece of light inside. When I looked at it intently, I couldn't help but feel ashen!
