"Then I won't disturb you. It's now nine forty in the morning. At eleven o'clock at noon, you can have dinner on the basement floor. If Mr. Fourth is willing to show his favor, I will be very happy."
You are already very happy now...
Zhou Jinru nodded without saying anything more. After sending Karl away, he closed the door, took a breath of the stale air, frowned, walked to the window, and pushed open the dark wooden window. The wind soon filled the whole house.
His current physique is not afraid of severe cold, and he doesn't feel much even if he wears short sleeves. The wind blowing on his face will make him more awake.
This is not a dream, definitely not a dream.
When Zhou Jinru entered history, it was not that his consciousness sank, but that his whole person came in. After arriving in 1080, he could not escape from the method of rising consciousness. In other words, he could only leave by opening the hole, but once If you leave, you can never come back.
After leaving the survivor base in the cruel future, there was no response there. Zhou Jinru didn't know what happened, but it was definitely not a good thing.
As for why the medical car can send signals to history and confirm historical coordinates, Zhou Jinru doesn't know and doesn't dare to ask. As his strength grows little by little, he is no longer the reckless young man, although he has been a bit irritable recently.
"In my time, this period should be 980 years, but here it is 1080 years. There is indeed a gap of one hundred years. Why is this happening?"
Zhou Jinru packed his things, waited until the smell in the room dissipated, closed the window, and sat by the bed.
It must be said that this was an era when entertainment activities were quite scarce. There was no TV in the room, only an old radio. Looking at the rusty antenna, Zhou Jinru decided not to touch it.
He would rather communicate with Ming Yuexin than these old antiques.
"Ming Yuexin, is there any surveillance equipment in the room?"
"have."
"..."
He just asked casually, but he didn't expect it to happen. It seemed that the landlord Carl was not as kind as he seemed.
Just as Zhou Jinru was spreading his thoughts to certain angles, Ming Yuexin said again: "The surveillance equipment is very old. I can block it and insert some flawless pictures into it."
"good idea."
Zhou Jinru suppressed his thoughts and did not continue to think about it.
When he first arrived, he had to be prepared even if he wanted to look for clues. A good explorer would never go on an adventure without preparation.
Soon, the clock in the living room struck eleven, and it was noon.
Zhou Jinru, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and left the room wearing only a formal suit. During this period, the old couple opposite the door never came back. The tenants upstairs were either not at home or did not go out. Anyway, no one came from the second floor. Passing by the building.
When he arrived at the cafeteria on the first floor, there were several people sitting here, including men and women, adults and children.
Seeing strangers arriving, many people cast curious glances. What surprised Zhou Jinru was not them, but the little girl Luo Shan whom he had met before.
The little girl's eyes were filled with tears: "Kind sir, have you seen my puppet?"
"Sorry, no, what happened to it?"
"It's lost and I don't know where I put it."
Zhou Jinru bent down and wanted to reach out to touch Luo Shan's head, but the little girl dodged it. He retracted his hand in embarrassment and said patiently: "Miss Luo Shan, I know where your puppet went."
"Really?"
The novelty of being called a lady slightly diluted Roxanne's sadness, and she focused on the topic of this person.
Zhou Jinru said softly: "Yes."
"where is it?"
"I have no idea."
"ah?"
"I mean, I know how it got lost, but I don't know where it is."
The convoluted remark made the little girl dizzy and didn't understand what it meant.
Zhou Jinru showed his housekeeping skills: "Your puppet was borrowed by a kind of creature called a goblin. They come and go and often borrow things that people don't need temporarily. But don't worry, the goblin will take it away." If you return your belongings, you will find puppets by accident, and you will also get gifts from the goblins."
The magical little story made Roxanne gradually believe this passage.
Sometimes children can't tell the truth from some stories, and they won't discover the secret until they grow up, but by then, what's the big deal?
"As long as I wait a moment, the elf will return the puppet?"
"Yes, to be precise, you will stumble upon the puppets, which means the goblin has already arrived."
"What do they look like?"
"Well, they have transparent wings and can fly, just like dragonflies. They are cute little guys."
At this time, a middle-aged woman came over, or she had been listening not far away for a while. Roshan also noticed her voice and exclaimed: "Mom!"
Is she Karl’s wife?
The middle-aged woman with short hair and an apron smiled at Zhou Jinru and took Luo Shan's hand. The little girl waved goodbye to him: "Goodbye, uncle!"
Until the two people left, an old voice came from not far away. It was the old gentleman opposite the door whom I had met before. A smile appeared on his wrinkled face: "Little Luo Shan is a lovely girl."
"Yes, I wish her a sunny childhood."
Zhou Jinru stood up and chose to sit opposite the old gentleman. The other man obviously had something to say.
The old gentleman took off his hat, carefully groomed his sparse gray hair, and said, "Our landlord Carl is a good father."
Zhou Jinru poured himself a glass of water: "I can tell."
"Well, sir, why don't you choose a better place to live?"
"It was just an accident that I came here. Sometimes accidents are hard to say. They can bring good luck or bad luck. As an explorer, the most important thing is to take things as they come."
His appearance is clearly different from that of the Victorians. Even locals who have never seen a Yanguo person know that he comes from a distant country.
This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that Zhou Jinru is happy to see.
“Just take things as they come.”
The old man recited these words silently, and his wife came over with food. The lunch was very ordinary, including sliced bread, vegetable stew, and two pieces of fried meat.
"This is already very rich and the price is reasonable. Young man, you should try Mrs. Karl's cooking. She is very good at cooking."
Zhou Jinru nodded, but did not stand up in a hurry. From various signs, we could see some clues that this city was not as prosperous as it appeared. Something must have happened quietly, and it has not been exposed yet.
