Chapter 2 Here is "Bright Sword"!
When you pass through the thick city gate, what you see is a picture of the Republic of China people, people wearing earth-gray clothes coming and going, the messy stalls, and the shouts of hawking everywhere, and the bustling.
Forty or fifty meters ahead of Wei Ran, there was another city wall. It was about the same height as the first city wall, about twelve or thirteen meters. Wei Ran, who was used to tall buildings, was not shocked at all by this height.
The traces on the city walls are rubbed with the heaviness of history, and it should be a while ago.
There are also city walls on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, forming a square land surrounded by these four walls at the entrance of the city gate. This design should be used as a buffer zone for the defended city.
At this time, there was a noise ahead, as if something had happened.
Most Chinese people like to watch the fun. When something happens, they immediately besiege the city and circle.
Wei Ran also walked over and happened to see two soldiers dressed in puppet troops pulling a sack placed in front of a seller.
"Hey, boss, boss." The person who sold the goods was a young man with a pleasing smile on his face and put his hands in front of his abdomen, obviously trying to comfort the two puppet soldiers.
"Damn it." One of the puppet soldiers didn't take this trick. They carried out the rifle in their hand and wanted to smash the man with a butt.
The man casually hid, and the puppet army hit the man's wheelbarrow and fell.
"Baga." At this time, a Japanese soldier walked over in anger on the carriage parked beside him and reached out to hit the man's head.
The man just stretched out his arm to block it, and the Japanese fell down for no reason.
Another puppet army was holding a rifle and pointing it at the man with a bayonet. At this time, he rushed towards the man and stabbed it with a bayonet.
The man hid sideways again and slapped the puppet army in the back with his hands. The puppet army immediately took a dog to eat shit.
Now that we can't get it right, the two puppet troops refused to give in. The man who had been working properly also understood the current situation. He snatched a puppet army's rifle and stabbed him to death. He threw another puppet army to the ground and fisted at each other.
"Beat him to death! Beat him to death!" The onlookers were boiling and kept shouting.
Wei Ran looked at the scene in front of him and felt familiar.
After the man put two puppet troops in his hand, he walked towards the Japanese who were still lying on the ground, and another fist and kick was added. The Japanese should have died because the man not only hit him, but also tightly held the Japanese soldier's head, causing the back of his head to come into close contact with the ground five or six times, and blood flowed all over the ground.
A whistle sounded and two Japanese soldiers rushed over from a distance.
The onlookers immediately spread out, and the man was at a loss. At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a gray long gown and a hat pulled him and walked towards an alley next to him.
This is!
Wei Ran's eyes shrank, and he finally remembered why the scene in front of him was so familiar. This is the plot of "Bright Sword"! Li Yunlong and Wei Dayong put on makeup and became businessmen and went to the city to meet Chu Yunfei secretly. They met Duan Peng, who had good kung fu in the city, and recruited him as subordinates.
The middle-aged man wearing a gray long gown just now was Li Yunlong. Although he just glanced at him quickly, he immediately recognized him. He had not changed his image on TV at all, and Wei Ran was very familiar with that face.
In this way, he has traveled through time to the TV series!
This can be said to be the most nonsense thing Wei Ran has encountered since he was so old.
I originally thought that it was because of unknown reasons, but later I found that time had traveled through time and reached the Republic of China period. Now I have discovered that he not only traveled through time and space, but also through dimensions and into TV series. Does this belong to the two-dimensional world?
What can he do in this era? Follow Li Yunlong to fight against Japan? Forget it. Although Li Yunlong is the protagonist in this TV series and often wins battles, the death rate of soldiers in the army is still very high.
It cannot be said that Wei Ran is not patriotic. He has no sense of integration with this era. He knows that the War of Resistance Against Japan will win, but he has no place to deal with it if he dies. He only cherishes his life and allows this era to evolve on its own. His little arms and legs will not play any role in promoting the great cause of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
So how can we survive well in this era? Yes, if we don’t know if we can go back, living is the most realistic goal now, and we also need a quality of life. This is what Wei Ran needs to consider at present.
He touched all over his body. In addition to this outfit, Wei Ran brought a mechanical watch that had been worn on his wrist and three coins that he was too lazy to put in his wallet. The coins were of no use in this era, and it was difficult to explain if they were seen. They could only leave a thought, but the watch could be sold for some money.
To whom should we sell the watch? This question is like a slight distortion for Wei Ran. We can’t see who has the money to go to sell it. And I guess he starved to death before the watch was sold.
So, at present, the best choice is to sell the watch to a pawnshop. Even if the price is a little lower, you can only recognize it.
Ping'an City is not very big, but it is not small. When you find someone to find a pawn shop, it is easy to find it. Unexpectedly, there are as many as three pawn shops in this small county. Wei Ran guessed that there were many people who could not survive in this war-torn era, so the pawn shop business was easy to do?
After inspecting the three pawn shops one by one, Wei Ran chose the one with the strongest strength.
When I walked in, I saw a large counter facing me. A middle-aged man with circular eyes was lying bored on the counter.
Wei Ran laughed out loud, he was really in a TV series. Even the scene in front of him was similar to the plot in the TV series. He thought that the real pawnshop in the Republic of China period would be different from what he imagined.
Wei Ran's laughter attracted the attention of the middle-aged man lying on the counter, "Hello, sir, come and be a thing?"
"I have a watch that is fast to get good, because I'm tight now and want to work in a shop." Wei Ran bit his tongue and learned from people of this era. It was awkward, but he was also very good.
After taking the watch handed by Wei Ran, the middle-aged man looked surprised and kept taking pictures of him in his right hand with a magnifying glass.
The mechanical watch that Wei Ran bought specially for work is not a bargain, but is of the mid-range level.
The cutting, gold plating technology and smelting metals of modern technology are not comparable to that of this period. There is no flaw on the watch. I wiped it with a tone and shine. The watch is sealed and cannot even find a screw or a metal nail.
The most important thing is that the color of this watch is gold, which is very different from the silver-white watch style of this era, and it looks very high-end and atmospheric.
The middle-aged man sitting at the counter was shocked, constantly marveling and looking through it repeatedly. He had never seen such a watch with a strange and ingenious style.
"Sir, are you going to live or die?"
"Don't be so hard, how much does this watch cost?" Wei Ran asked, the starting point of this era depends entirely on it.
"Then please wait a moment, I'll go find the shopkeeper." The middle-aged man couldn't confirm the actual value of the watch, so he went directly to the boss.
Wei Ran thought he was the shopkeeper at first, but he didn't expect that he was just a clerk in the hall.
After a while, the middle-aged man came back, with a man following him, about fifty or sixty years old, and he might be younger. It seems that he is the shopkeeper. It is difficult to confirm his age in this era. Due to life, many people who have just entered middle age have already looked very old, and most of them look older than they are.
After the shopkeeper came, he said hello first, then picked up his watch and observed it carefully. However, the shopkeeper was much smarter than the middle-aged man. He had always had a expressionless face and showed no slight amazement.
"How much does it cost to do it, sir?" the shopkeeper asked calmly.
"Old fox." Wei Ran cursed in his heart. He didn't know how much the highest-end watch was worth during this period, but he didn't dare to shout prices randomly, so as not to suffer a big loss.
"I bought this watch from Europe for 3,000 yuan. How much ocean can the shopkeeper think it can be used as?" Wei Ran revealed the price of the watch and returned the problem to the pawnshop shopkeeper. He did not lie. He did buy this watch for 3,000 yuan. It is also a foreign brand, but it is not clear whether it is produced abroad.
The pawnshop owner stretched out a palm.
"five hundred?"
"Fifty."
Wei Ran almost breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted him to use his watch as a fifty dollar. He was really a black-hearted businessman in the Republic of China period.
During the Republic of China, there were the most pawnshops. They were on the surface to help the people, but in fact they were no different from vampires. Often, 10 yuan of things were finally recovered for 3 yuan of oceans, which was definitely a violent industry. During this period, the war was in chaos and the people lived in a displaced life. They were struggling and could only pawn items. Usually, the pawn period was from January to 3 years. If the family was unable to redeem it, they could only pay interest and issue another new ticket. If they could not even pay the interest, they would be "deadly", and the pawn items were owned by the pawn shop.
During the Republic of China, the common people had no meals and were unable to redeem the food. It was very common for them to die. Many pawnshops made money. It was no wonder that if the people lived a good life, who would go to the pawnshop to serve as things? Therefore, behind a small ticket was the hardships and helplessness of the people's lives.
Generally speaking, if you are just dead, you will pay more than living. Wei Ran said that the value of this watch is 3,000 yuan. Even if the shopkeeper thinks that he exaggerates it, he can be at least 8,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper of this pawnshop is so shady and takes it down if he wants fifty yuan.
During the Republic of China, there were watches ranging from one to one hundred yuan, and even better high-end watches of two or three hundred yuan were sold. Wei Ran estimated that his watch was several levels higher than the highest-end watches of this period. Even if it was a bit exaggerated by the 3,000 yuan, it did not exaggerate anyway.
"Less than five hundred, it's not appropriate!" Wei Ran pretended to be heartbroken.
However, his performance seemed a little immature in front of the cunning pawnshop. After a while, the price was set at 300 yuan.
After the receipt of Dangdang tickets was written, the pawnshop who had been paralyzed finally smiled, as if he had won a battle. Wei Ran couldn't help but feel a little regretful after seeing it. He understood that if he raised it again, there would still be a lot of room for improvement in the price.
The shopkeeper spoke at fifty, probably testing his bottom line in his heart. As a result, he not only silly lowered the price, but also revealed the bottom line.
