Chapter 1: New arrival in England (new book, please support)
The road covered with bomb craters is like a pockmarked face, the houses on the whole street have been turned into ruins, and thick smoke is floating in the sky over the city. . The wreckage of destroyed buses and cars were scattered messily on the streets. In the huge craters, broken water pipes and sewage pipes spewed out clean water and filth, which gathered in the craters, turning the streets into as dirty as a cesspool. place.
The blaring air raid sirens have stopped.
Li Yian walked blankly on the street, looking at the end-of-the-world scene in front of him. He hoped that all the scenery in front of him was a dream.
Yet this is all true.
A moment ago, he was carrying a package of goods, ready to deliver to his roommate who was setting up a stall. As usual, she set up a street stall after get off work, and he would occasionally go over to help.
But in the blink of an eye, you are on a strange street.
The red double-decker buses, red phone booths, and policemen wearing black helmets and blowing whistles look like old London from an old movie.
After all, in London in the 21st century, you will never hear the sound of air defense sirens, nor see rushing passers-by, and certainly not the propeller fighter jets roaring in the sky.
Although he was a little confused, in order to survive, Li Yian followed the fleeing people and ran into a nearby subway station.
Then there was a deafening explosion. Feeling the shock of the explosion, the whole person was in a state of confusion for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, the air raid ended. After the crowds of people left the subway station, Li Yi'an walked on the streets of London like a headless fly. He walked for an unknown number of streets.
Finally, Li Yian, who was tired from walking, sat on a bench by the roadside and wanted to catch his breath.
Face it!
As soon as I lowered my head, I saw half an old newspaper floating in the puddle at my feet, with the words "From one victory to another! The North African Germans surrendered to the Allies!" printed on the masthead.
German surrender in North Africa?
Looking at the time in the newspaper again, it was May 13, 1943.
Damn it, time travel!
After traveling through time, he had to face an unavoidable reality - he was penniless and had nowhere to live.
Walking around the streets of London like this is not a long-term solution.
What to do next?
It’s really a bit troublesome.
Having read many online novels, he certainly knows that physical time travel is the most tragic of all ways of time travel.
Body time travel means that I do not have a legal identity in this world, let alone the scenario where my father is a rich man and I only care about the prodigal family.
Now, the chance of recognizing his father is gone, and the possibility of being hanged is getting bigger and bigger.
During the war, unidentified foreigners wandered the streets... the three combined together turned into spies!
If you don’t go to the gallows, who will!
I don’t know how long I walked. Li Yian, who was thirsty and hungry, felt more and more unsure as he walked.
Fortunately, London, which had just been bombed, was full of running fire engines and ambulances. No one cared about him, even the police were too lazy to pay attention to him.
After all, the Asians who can still "hang out" on the streets of London at this time are definitely not Japanese. The Japanese in Britain, all of whom were imprisoned a few years ago, have experienced the homosexuality of Great Britain.
what to do?
Well, let’s take it one step at a time. After graduating from college, Li Yi’an worked hard in first-tier cities with his classmates, and he has long since learned to take things as they come.
Actually, there is no point worrying about this matter. In the turbulent years, I traveled through time recklessly and was not arrested as a spy. It was God’s blessing.
But it looks like it’s not far away.
It was getting dark at this time. After dark, there would be no time to talk to the police, but there would be time to talk to yourself.
Taking out a cigarette from his satchel, Li Yian sighed helplessly.
Smoke a cigarette first and calm down before talking.
At this time, a British man came towards him. When Li Yian took out the cigarette, his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the camel on the cigarette box.
Before Li Yian lit up his cigarette, he walked forward and asked flatteringly:
"Sir, are you smoking Camel cigarettes?"
Is this what you smell?
Li Yian smokes an American version of Camel cigarettes, the kind without a filter. According to the man, the smoke is so strong that one cigarette can last for two hours. Someone actually called out the cigarette by its name. Even a dog's nose might not be that clever.
Li Yian nodded, and when he saw this, the British man's face showed joy, and he said happily.
"Is it really camel smoke? Haha, I know it as soon as I smell it, haha..."
In fact, he had seen the camel on the cigarette box before. Staring at the cigarette in Li Yian's hand, the man asked tentatively.
"Sir, do you still have camel cigarettes?"
"What?"
The man said directly.
"If you still have some, I'll give you a penny for each cigarette! What do you think, sir."
"A penny?"
Although the British guy's behavior is very puzzling, for Li Yi'an, who is penniless, hungry and thirsty, this is definitely a good thing to give a pillow to someone who is in need.
"One penny..."
After pondering for a moment, looking at the desire in the British man's eyes, Li Yian flicked open the lighter cap.
The moment the lighter cover was opened, there was a crisp sound that made the British man stare straight in his eyes.
This sound must be that of a ZIPPO lighter.
Camel cigarettes and ZIPPO lighters are all authentic American products!
Money can’t buy that!
"Sir, if you sell me this ZIPPO lighter together, no matter how many cigarettes you have left, I can pay you 4 pounds and 6 pence. What do you think?"
The man gritted his teeth and offered a high price.
Camel cigarettes and ZIPPO lighters are status symbols in your hands.
With these two things, we will be the most handsome boy in the village!
"Well..."
Looking at the desire written on the British guy's face, Li Yian thought for a while and said.
"I have 17 cigarettes left in my cigarette box... I will keep five cigarettes and sell the rest to you for 5 pounds. What do you think?"
You have to leave some food for yourself.
Everyone understands that this is the last stubbornness of a smoker.
Hearing this, the British man immediately said with joy.
“Of course.”
It has to be said that when a man encounters something he likes, he is the same as a woman – there is no resistance at all.
Twelve cigarettes and a ZIPPO lighter.
It actually sold for 5 pounds!
Taking a few banknotes from the man's hand, Li Yian couldn't help but feel a little excited when he saw that there were almost half A4 paper-sized banknotes in his hand.
Finally rich!
Finally, I did not lose face as a time traveler, and made the first pot of gold on the day I traveled.
The period chosen for the new book is an era of great reshuffle. The old overlord has abdicated and a new overlord is taking over. In this period of great reshuffle, we can actually do more!
