Under the warm afternoon sun, accompanied by the sound of steam, the train on the railway track is running at high speed. From the window, you can see the modern scenery flashing behind you.
Xiao Lin didn't panic at all when he suddenly appeared on an unknown train. This was much better than being suddenly hit in the face by an iron box falling from the sky just after crossing.
The tense nerves relaxed a little, and then he began to look around for useful information.
first of all……
The surrounding seats are entirely made of wood. Although the passengers sitting on the seats are wearing suits and leather shoes and colorful skirts, and the overall image is very gentlemanly and elegant, from his point of view, their clothing is very retro style. In addition, the backward buildings and scenery flashed by the window from time to time, as well as the piercing whistle that came from the ears every once in a while.
So, is this another island country - Britain in the 19th century?
Railways were an important development in the country during this time, so there were many people riding steam trains, from all walks of life.
So walking in the aisle of the train, everyone, male, female, old and young, would cast their eyes on them... no, to be precise, on Liu Zi who was following her.
Elegant, so elegant!
Silver shawl hair, delicate and cute face, gorgeous dress, elegant behavior.
Following the unsightly man in front of her, she didn't lose her temper even when surrounded by many people like a gorilla. Although her eyes were slightly closed and her face was expressionless, it was quite cold, but combined with the elegant aura emanating from her body from the inside out, it made her even more attractive.
In this country where the etiquette of gentlemen and ladies is practiced, Liu Zi's appearance is like a shining pearl, lighting up this otherwise boring journey.
"Could that girl be..."
"Ah, judging by the accessories on her head, that's probably right."
"So beautiful, so elegant!"
"Which master is this work?"
The compliments from passers-by kept coming, and Xiao Lin raised the corners of his mouth and puffed up his chest proudly, but if they weren't mixed with the words "this man is an eyesore", "low-level dress", and "completely unworthy of her" Class would be even better.
There was something hurtful about the constant whispers.
Thanks to the fact that the ticket inspection was not very intensive at this time, Xiaolin easily blended into the various carriages. But it's also possible that Liu Zi behind him was so outstanding that the guards didn't dare to step forward and offend him.
In short, he didn't meet any blind guy looking for trouble.
After all, it is a country that follows the etiquette of gentlemen and ladies, so there should be no such dishonest people.
Arrive at the second-class compartment.
Different from the low-level carriages at the back that are scattered and crowded together, the seats here are divided into independent small rooms, providing passengers with higher-level services.
When walking in the middle of the passage, an unusually unexpected presence appeared in Xiao Lin's sight, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"……Huh?"
"What's wrong, Master Xiaolin?"
"No, it's nothing."
Xiao Lin shook his head and continued to move forward.
But before she had even taken a few steps, Liu Zi suddenly said, "Did Xiaolin-sama fall in love with the girl in the kimono just now? Did it just show her back and make Xiaolin-sama feel dirty and dirty desires?"
"No. I just thought it was very conspicuous that a kimono woman suddenly appeared among a group of Central European century-style people." Xiaolin ignored the venom and explained.
"This is the same thing, Kobayashi-sama."
"……Eh?"
Xiao Lin lowered his head and looked at his adventurer equipment. He saw that it was indeed very different from those elegant and successful people in suits and ties. No wonder he was called an eyesore and vulgar.
This was indeed a lack of consideration on his part.
It just so happens that Sato Kazuma is currently making clothes. When he returns, he will ask a tailor who is good at clothing design to design a set of clothes for him that will be more suitable at any time.
Now that he's dressed more conspicuously, it's better not to move around.
He casually opened the door to an unoccupied room and walked in. Not long after we sat down, another man and woman walked in.
The man is about 30 years old and the girl is about 6 or 7 years old. The girl is held in her arms. Judging from the closeness, she should be a father and daughter.
When he saw Xiao Lin and Liu Zi sitting in the seats, he was slightly surprised and a little confused, but he did not panic. Instead, he took off his hat and saluted slightly, and asked them in a gentlemanly manner: "I'm sorry, can I talk to my daughter? Would you like to take a short rest here?"
"Of course. I just randomly found an unoccupied room to rest, so please feel free to do so." Xiao Lin smiled gently and stretched out his hand to motion for him to sit down.
The man nodded as if he understood something. After bowing and thanking him again, he sat down opposite his daughter.
Maybe it was because they were unfamiliar and the two parties didn't talk too much. But the little girl's eyes were always cast on Liu Zi, who was sitting quietly next to Xiao Lin, with a certain light shining in her big eyes.
The sight was too hot, Liu Zi opened her eyes and looked at the little girl doubtfully.
When the man found out, he apologized quickly and said to Xiao Lin: "I'm sorry, my girl seems to have offended your companion."
"No, it doesn't matter, it's just a child's curiosity." Xiao Lin waved his hand to tell him not to pay attention.
But the little girl blinked her big eyes and blurted out: "Big sister is so beautiful! So elegant! Like a real lady! I want to be like big sister when I grow up!"
Almost every child has an idol and hopes to be like them when they grow up. It was obvious that she regarded Liu Zi as her idol.
"Fei!"
"It doesn't matter! Father, please don't blame her."
The father wanted to stop his daughter's rudeness, and Xiao Lin also stopped the father who wanted to blame the girl.
It's too late to be happy to be admired by a little girl, so how can you blame her?
Then he showed a kind smile to the little girl and said to her: "Fei...is it okay to call you that? Do you want to be as elegant as Liu Zi?"
"Riuzi? Is that the name of big sister? I want it! When I grow up, I want to be as elegant as big sister Liuzi and become a real lady!"
The little girl raised her little right hand.
That positive and serious look is as serious as a child answering the teacher's questions in class.
It seemed that Liu Zi had a great impression on her.
"Very good! Then in order to be better like Liu Zi, you should get closer to her!"
"real?!"
The little girl looked at Liu Zi with her big eyes full of expectation, leaving the doll girl with a venomous personality and cold appearance not knowing what to do.
However, Xiao Lin did this on purpose.
Who asked her to say before traveling through time that she wanted to take care of herself like a baby? In that case, let's play with her little girl first.
As if she knew she couldn't escape, Liu Zi started playing with the little girl. Her clumsy hands and feet were completely different from her previous elegant and capable manner, and she had a different kind of fun.
At the same time, Xiaolin took this as an opportunity to chat with the man.
"Is your intention to go to Liverpool?"
"Liverpool?"
"Isn't it?!"
For some reason, the man seemed surprised and looked at Liu Zi, as if wondering why they didn't go there.
This made Xiao Lin keenly aware of the abnormality, and he quickly asked what was special there.
After stating that he was not from this country, the man nodded suddenly and explained Xiao Lin's doubts.
The smart city of Liverpool.
A large amount of cotton produced in Manchester is transported from this place to all over the world. It is not only a trading city that the country boasts of being isolated from the world, but also an academic city second only to Cambridge.
And among them is a college that is enough for talents from all over the world to come to.
——Wang Li Jiqiao Academy.
"Wangli Jiji Academy?"
When Xiaolin heard this name, he felt very familiar.
Men meet
He pondered and stopped disturbing, but quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.
Time passed little by little, and the memories deep in the brain began to surface. But when the memories were about to break through the barriers in the brain, the train ran wild and lost control. It did not stop at a modern station with a beautiful semicircular iron roof, but moved extremely fast. passed.
"What, what's going on? Why didn't you stop?"
The always elegant gentleman became flustered at this time, and at the same time, doubtful and questioning voices came from the room next to him.
At this moment, the train suddenly bumped and the little girl Erfei fell to the ground unsteadily. Her nose was sore and she was about to cry.
"Don't cry. A lady won't cry because of this little pain." Xiao Lin helped her up and warned her softly.
"Yeah...yeah." She nodded, holding back the pain and showing a cute smile.
"very good."
Xiao Lin touched her head.
Then, the conductor rushed in and said in a panic: "Passengers, please... please calm down and listen to me! The brakes... failed!"
Hearing his words, Fei's little face turned pale with fright. Even as a young girl, she knew what this meant.
The next moment, people on the train began to panic. Screams, curses, and questions continued, and it was a mess.
Although Fei was also scared when she was held in her arms, she did not cry for her mother like other children.
"Very good, Fei. A true lady must remain calm in times of crisis and remain elegant at all times. You have already mastered some of the essence."
Unfortunately, Xiao Lin's comfort was ineffective. The train's out-of-control rampage continued. If this continues, a big tragedy will definitely happen.
"There is no way, we can't just watch."
Xiao Lin decided to take action.
Then he let go of the little girl in his arms, but to his surprise, the other party grabbed her sleeve.
"Phi?"
"Don't go, don't go."
With your eyes closed tightly and tears in the corners of your eyes, are you really worried about yourself?
Xiao Lin rubbed her head and said: "Fei, a real lady should not stop someone who wants to make a difference, but should offer sincere blessings. Don't worry, I will stop the train."
"Big brother……"
Fei opened her eyes and looked at the smiling Xiao Lin. She didn't know why, but she believed in her heart that the big brother in front of her would definitely do it.
"Then... big brother, you must pay attention to your safety and come back as soon as possible. Fei... Fei believes in you and will be waiting for you."
"Ah, I'll be right back when I go."
After saying that, he and Liu Zi jumped out of the window onto the roof of the train and ran towards the front of the car.
