Umbrella Travel to the Heavens

Along the way, Li Xiu tried his best to avoid the camera while walking, and only after returning home did he use his kung fu to change his muscles and revert back to his original appearance.

Sitting on the sofa, Li Xiu thought back on the journey, and felt that it was troublesome for a stranger like him to live in a modern city full of cameras, and all the conveniences that a modern city could provide were no longer what he valued, so he stayed in the city Rido is unhelpful.

If he wants to hide everything, most of the time he suppresses himself to behave like an ordinary person, and Li Xiu really finds it troublesome, and his thoughts are not clear.

So last night he made a decision to move out of the city full of hostility, pressure, and human desire. Next, Li Xiu first called Zhang's noodle shop and quit his job, and then called the landlord and his wife about the rent and payment. .

Three days later, in a small modern village named Liuhe in Hongdu, a middle-aged man with slightly darker skin led a young man with a calm face up the mountain.

"Little boss, look at the road up the mountain is paved with cement. It is very convenient to walk or drive up and down the mountain on weekdays. You don't have to worry about it at all."

The young man looked at the quiet mountain surrounded by green trees and clear air, and nodded in satisfaction.

In less than a moment, the two walked to a spacious yard located on the mountainside, and Li Xiu walked in to see the structure and oldness of the house.

After walking out again, the middle-aged man couldn't wait to ask Li Xiu what he meant: "How is it? Boss, is this yard okay?"

Standing by the courtyard, Li Xiu looked up and down the mountain, and a neat modern small village loomed in front of him, followed by a wide green river, which was quite peaceful and beautiful.

"Little boss, let me tell you the truth. If it wasn't for my son who made a fortune in business in the south and wanted to take me to live in the city, I would really be reluctant to sell this yard. This quiet place is an excellent place to retire. Land. You can’t even hear the firecrackers in the village at the foot of the mountain, so don’t worry about being annoyed…”

The middle-aged man wanted to continue talking, but Li Xiu turned his head to stop him: "I bought this yard, how much is it?"

Twenty days later, Li Xiu has already moved into the brand-new mountainside courtyard. Everything in the house has been renovated, everything in the house has been replaced with new ones, and the furniture is made of ancient solid wood.

The whole house exudes a quiet and natural woody fragrance from time to time, and the occasional mountain wind passing through the hall is even more refreshing.

One day, Li Xiu sat in the hall and closed his eyes as usual, using "power" to explore the virtual world. In the past, he either encountered the city of love, or encountered low-level virtual worlds like Ye Wen and Huo Yuanjia. He entered the real world. is time consuming.

This time he finally got something to gain. Li Xiu opened his eyes, weighed in his heart for a moment, and a gleam of joy flashed across his face: "Is this the world? It's just right that the force is neither higher nor lower than mine. It seems that today is a good day."

Then Li Xiu went into the room and changed into a formal dress of the Republic of China, among which he was preparing for crossing the world, and came out. As soon as he held his left hand, a ball of black ink turned into a black umbrella and appeared in his hand.

As Li Xiu activated the power to break the boundary, everything outside the umbrella became blurred in front of his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, there was another strange scene around him.

The Shanghai Bund in the 1940s was a dark and chaotic era, and many gangsters rose up. The most powerful and rampant ones were the Ax Gang and the Crocodile Gang.

These two gangs are involved in smokehouses, arms, and nightclubs. Gang members do all kinds of crimes such as extortion, robbery, and kidnapping. The entire Shanghai Beach is shrouded in the power of the two gangs. Even the police in the patrol room dare not lift their beards. , It can be said that he can cover the sky with one hand, and he is invincible.

In a dark alley, Li Xiu dissipated his black umbrella and came out in formal attire, mingling with pedestrians on the street without any surprise.

All kinds of buildings full of the characteristics of the Republic of China, theater buildings, banks, teahouses, commercial houses, etc. are neatly arranged on both sides of the road. The neon lights of the nightclubs and karaoke halls are so conspicuous in the dim light, giving a unique atmosphere of old Shanghai. Come on.

Walking in the street,

Li Xiu could see a lot of rickshaw drivers waiting for their jobs beside the shops. People in various clothes came and went, including coolie dresses, scribes' long gowns, loose suits and formal clothes, etc.

There was even a tram running across the track in front of Li Xiu, which was another novel sight.

If it is said that Li Xiu can freely travel through the myriad realms after obtaining the "power", the first thing he cares most about is that it can make him get rid of the common people and hope for a long life, and the second benefit he thinks is that he can personally experience and participate in the myriad worlds. It's amazing how different scenes are.

After Li Xiu walked along the street for a while, he called a rickshaw and sat in it: "Take me around."

Although the rickshaw driver felt a little strange, he still pulled up the pole and started trotting.

After a long time, when Li Xiu had almost turned around, he asked again: "Do you know where the Ax Gang is stationed? Take me there."

Hearing this sentence, the rickshaw, which was originally very stable and comfortable, suddenly shook and stopped.

After the rickshaw driver parked the rickshaw on the side of the street, his face was full of embarrassment and fear. He wiped his sweat and begged a little: "Boss, don't make things difficult for the little ones. It's not easy for the little ones to support their families. The ax gang..."

Li Xiu thought about what he wanted to say next, so he reached out and took out a small piece of gold from his pocket and threw it to the rickshaw driver.

"If you say so, you know, take me there."

The rickshaw driver reacted naturally and took the gold, wondering if the tactile weight was not the ocean, but when he took out the things in his hand and shone it under the light, his eyes almost dazzled.

The rickshaw driver's eyes were about to pop out. It turned out to be yellow gold. After he confirmed it, he quickly grabbed it in his arms and looked around nervously to see if anyone else saw it.

Then he changed his face in an instant, bowed and nodded to Li Xiu with a smile on his face: "Hey, Boss, you are so generous, I wish you luck and prosperity, and I will drag you, Boss."

Ten minutes later, the rickshaw stopped in front of a long, eerie alley, and there were few pedestrians on Louxin Road. Occasionally, there were a few strong men in black walking around, all of whom looked like gangsters.

When Li Xiu got out of the car, the rickshaw driver was afraid that people in the alley would see him, so he pulled up the rickshaw with a panicked expression, walked like flying, turned around and fled!

Li Xiu looked as usual and walked towards the long alley. Apart from teahouses and restaurants, there was no real business on both sides of the road. There were smokehouses, gambling houses, and meat shops. There is no outsider outside the help, it seems a bit deserted and strange.

Although Li Xiu was also dressed in black, he obviously didn't match the atmosphere of this long alley at all.

Before he could go far, the little leader of an ax gang came over with a few younger brothers, waving at him with an arrogant and impatient expression.

"Hey, I don't know if I don't have to play today, get out of here!"
