Chapter 1: The secret is revealed as soon as it arrives

"Old Gu, if possible, you can come over it too. I will throw you into the Yangtze River to take a shower and let you wake up your mind... Is I the kind of bastard who makes phone calls in the middle of the night and disturbs people's dreams?"

One afternoon in August 1938, at Chaotianmen Wharf, Qin Wei looked at the iPhone 4 in his hand, and looked at the screen that had no display due to the power outage, and cursed.

He actually wore it!

Like countless writers, he traveled through time and space. But the problem is that he was just imitating his mind and words, but he was actually acting... When he first appeared on the streets of Chongqing, he thought he was dreaming. Fortunately, he was also a writer who had been in the industry for a long time and had read many online articles. His psychological acceptance ability was quite good. So, after a brief moment of hesitation, he accepted this reality helplessly and secretly excitedly, until his stomach suddenly started to scream...

He has no money and has no money at the same time.

Moreover, it was summer before he traveled, so he had very few clothes. If he hadn't just gone out to buy "grain", he might not even have shirts and trousers now, but only vests and underwear... But so what if it was like this? He didn't think street stall goods could be worth a few cents, even if it was the Republic of China now.

After a brief consideration, he began to run aimlessly. Following the road and the steps of the mountain city one after another, he actually walked all the way to Chaotianmen... Then, facing the Yangtze River and Jialing River that converged in front of him, he had no way forward. In a daze, he actually thought of calling... asking for help?!

Then, in a state of boredom, a miracle happened. After calling more than a dozen calls in succession but couldn't get through, he actually answered Gu Changjun... Unfortunately, the other party obviously could not accept the fact that he traveled through time, but instead thought he was making jokes... Well, if it were normal, Qin Wei could accept the other party's ideas, because if he and Gu Changjun were changed, he would definitely come to the same conclusion as the other party. But the problem is that he couldn't change even if he wanted to...

"What should I do next?"

The former Qin Wei didn't have any hope when he called. Although he had read many online articles before, and he could search online for information after traveling through time, the luck required was too great, second only to some "sons of luck" who had left a time and space tunnel after traveling through time. He was a unlucky guy who couldn't even find a job, and writing an online article could only barely meet the living expenses and basement rent. Can he have such good luck?

But the phone was finally connected, and the call was normal... He didn't have time to think about whether this was because the Apple phone in his hand was a third-hand copycat that he bought from Gu Changjun for 300 yuan. He had been contaminated with the other party's aura or some magnetic field, and he just wanted the other party to know his current situation... and it was obvious that his goal was not achieved.

"Gugugugu..."

My stomach began to bulge, and my arms and legs began to feel ache. I have never had a long activity since I went to college. Today I have been able to walk so far in Chongqing, a famous mountain city... While Qin Wei was sighing at his sports potential, he couldn't help but start to feel sorry for why he didn't have a good meal before traveling through time... By the way, he hadn't eaten overnight before traveling through time. Although he had been dissatisfied with society, no matter what, since he was born, he had no worries about not being able to eat even.

"The phone is out of power, and I still have it in my hand..."

Shaking his head, throwing his annoyance, unwillingness, and some vague fears of his head aside, Qin Wei began to calculate his family's fortune after traveling through time:

One Apple four-generation mobile phone, plus a pair of headphones (although it is a copycat, it is an absolute high-tech product these days, and it can also talk to the future, but unfortunately it is out of power. Also: I haven't brought the charger here!)

One wallet has several RMB in it (obviously this is already waste paper, and if it is not handled properly, it may become a tool that causes trouble for you), a second-generation ID card, a bus card, and two bank cards.

In addition, I just bought a few packs of white sand cigarettes and a one-yuan lighter...

And then...

there is none left.

Although it cannot be considered naked, it is almost the same. Moreover, whether it is mobile phones, RMB, ID cards, bank cards, or bus cards, they are all things that can reveal their identity at any time. Even if people in this era cannot infer from the dates above, they will at least treat him as an unstable person, especially the RMB. The avatar on it may accidentally take him to the prison of the National Government... Although the printed on it is the elderly Mao, which does not look very similar to the current era, you can still tell who it belongs to by carefully debating.

"I'm afraid it's not only Lao Jiang, but even if he arrives at the anti-Japanese base and sees that the one printed on the banknotes is actually an elderly person, he will definitely take me to the interrogation room to interrogate and ask me why I have made him so old, ah..."

After sighing, he pulled out the few RMB from his wallet, and then reluctantly put it in his hand and rubbed it several times. Qin Wei finally made up his mind and tried his best with both hands...

Several red and green RMB were scattered into the surging river.

"Is this considered a precious physical evidence of time and space travel?"

With a bitter smile, Qin Wei threw several cards into the water one by one.

...

"What should I do next?"

Left his cell phone, wallet, cigarette and lighter... Qin Wei lit a cigarette for himself and began to think about what to do next. He did not notice that not far away, his eyes were staring at him.

***************************************

"Does it take?"

Li Quan sat on the stairs that were visible everywhere in the mountain city, leaning against a protruding stone, staring at the front for a moment, and licking his lips from time to time... He had been staring at the guy in front for a long time. As a policeman, he had never seen anyone smoke cigarettes like this. One by one, it seemed that there was not enough. In a while, the ground was covered with cigarette butts.

"It's true that he's willing to do it."

Li Quan swallowed his lips again, and he was very slanderous. He was also a cigarette. But he was a small patrolman who didn't have the ability to smoke cigarettes every day. Sometimes when he got addicted to cigarettes, he just found a piece of paper and rolled some tobacco leaves to smoke to make his mouth full. Sometimes he was gone, and he couldn't stand it. He even crushed the leaves of the dead tree as tobacco leaves... This does not mean that he was really poor. Chongqing is a big place. I heard that the battle in Wuhan was tight, and the National Government planned to move here.

Of course, it is impossible to lose those who sell cigarettes. But the problem is war! ** cannot defeat the Japanese. The fugitives are rushing to the southwest. With more people, food, clothing, housing, and transportation are not rising prices? The rent in Chongqing has increased several times in the past six months, let alone other things. The National Government has always paid less money. If they want to live a better life, they have to make more money. But how many cents can he make as a small patrolman? Even if he has a good harvest, he is not enough to spend a few packs of cigarettes in a day, and it is not enough to raise the price of food. How can he be willing to spend it indiscriminately?

But today, I saw a guy wearing "speciality" clothes, one after another, one after another... I looked at him and looked at him.

...

"Brother, let's thrust the Gen'er?"

His throat became itchy, and finally, Li Quan couldn't help but come over.

"Um?"

The man turned his head, as if surprised.

"Just, I just want Gen'er Yan'er!" What kind of eyes are this? Li Quan was a little embarrassed by being looked at. He has been a patrolman for so many years, and no one has ever seen any miscellaneous people? He is condescending, flattering, and ignoring... But this is the first time he has seen such a strange look... It seems that this guy is just looking at monsters. Monsters? Li Quan was a little guilty and a little confused... There was nothing wrong with him!

"oh……"

After staring at Li Quan for a while, the man reacted suddenly as if he realized the truth, and hurriedly pulled out a pack of cigarette from his arms and handed it over.

"Thank you..." Looking at the exquisite cigarette box in front of you, which was wrapped in a layer of transparent and shiny paper, Li Quan carefully pulled out one from it, put it under his nose and smelled it: "What brand of cigarette is it?"

"White Sand!"

"Baisha?" Li Quan thought for a moment, "I haven't heard of it? The new brand? It's very expensive, right?"

"It's not expensive, it costs five dollars per pack!"

"Oh, five dollars..." Li Quan nodded, and then he froze: "More, how much?"

"Five pieces!"

"Gu..." Li Quan swallowed with a forced sip, "I, sir, are you kidding? Five dollars? Foreign cigarettes are not that expensive!"

"This is already very cheap." The other party sighed, looked at Li Quan again, and suddenly slapped his head again, "Haha, sorry, I made a mistake. It's not five yuan, five cents... fifty cents a pack!"

"I just said...but this is expensive enough." Li Quan smiled dryly, but couldn't breathe a sigh of relief. What did he do? Police! Although he was just an ordinary patrolman, there were many people he had seen, so his eyesight would not be bad. The person in front of him was a bit weird, but he was obviously very "special" and quite fashionable. He had a unique look on his body. No matter how you look at him, he didn't look like an ordinary person. And he could also see that the clothes on this guy were better than those of many rich people... To put it bluntly, this person was either rich or noble. This is why he had to think for a long time before he dared to live

The reason for coming to get Gen'er to smoke... It was said that he couldn't stand the addiction to cigarettes, but in fact he wanted to see if he could get good luck and get some benefits. Just like a few days ago, a colleague met a noble man and helped him a little, and he gave him five dollars. Five dollars! He couldn't save so much money for half a year. But unexpectedly, a pack of cigarettes costs five dollars... He had never heard of this price even if he beat him to death. Although the other party quickly changed his words, the 50 cents was enough for his family to eat for half a month. So, the guy in front of him was lying. This pack of cigarettes is very likely to be five dollars per pack!

"Isn't I really meeting a rich man?" Li Quan's mind began to turn. He wanted to see if he could get closer to this person anymore. After all, even if this guy is rich, he looks down and worried now. Otherwise, why would he smoke one by one by one by the river?... He is a small patrolman. Even if he can't help much, it shouldn't be difficult to get some reward in the end, right? Look at the cigarette, not to mention that the box is shining, the picture is well printed. Just this cigarette roll is long, and one end looks weird and made something yellow. It looks like it is not an ordinary product. No wonder it has to be sold for five yuan per pack. Even if he can't get the reward in the end, it's not a waste of time to get such good cigarettes.

"Do you want to be fire?"

"Hmm? Ah, I want to..."

Li Quan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly put the cigarette into his mouth and leaned over. The next moment, his eyes were fixed on the lighter in the man's hand and could not flash... It was red, definitely not glass, but he actually saw the "kerosene" inside through the outer layer. It should be kerosene? This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he clearly saw that there was a portrait of a woman printed on the other party's lighter, and that portrait... two pieces of cloth were wrapped around his body, one on his chest, and one on his bottom... With just one glance, Li Quan felt that his whole body was hot, and a vital point between his legs could not help but feel restless.

"Is this his man a rich man or a pervert? There is such a coquettish and beautiful woman printed on the lighter..."

...

"I heard from the gentleman's accent, like a northerner?"

After finally suppressing the evil fire under his abdomen, Li Quan started to chat with the other party again, but when he was talking, the almost naked woman on the lighter flashed from time to time in his mind.

"Yes, northerners."

"Then are you going south to avoid Japanese talents?"

"no."

"No? But I look at you, it seems like I have something to do."

"Haha, if you were me, you would definitely have something to worry about...a big thing!"

"Haha, you're kidding. I'm just a little policeman, how can I compare with a big shot like you!"

"Big man? Me?..." The man pointed to his nose, shook his head and laughed: "You are really good at joking. What kind of big man am I? People like me used to be just barely alive, but now... I'm afraid it's a big man to live or not."

"Look at what you said. No matter how bad a person like you is, how bad can he be? Do you think so?" He said he was not a big shot? Hearing this statement and his tone were not ordinary people. Li Quan thought to himself.

"Thank you good words..." The man smiled, then looked at Li Quan again: "Do you police officers like to enlighten people so much? But I heard before that the police in the National Government didn't seem to be very... enthusiastic."

"This...hehe!" Li Quan was a little embarrassed. He was enthusiastic. If you weren't an ordinary person, who would have given you enthusiasm? If you didn't knock away the cigarette in your hand, I would be embarrassed to stay in Chaotianmen... I just saw it clearly, and you still had several packs of white sand cigarettes on you.

"By the way, Chongqing has been recently..." The man saw Li Quan awkwardly and no longer got entangled in this topic, but as soon as he spoke, he heard a sharp and harsh alarm sound suddenly sounded nearby...

"Air Defense Alert!!"

Li Quan jumped up all of a sudden.

"Go away, the little Japanese plane is coming."

"airplane?"

"Look, you just came... the Japanese are coming to bomb, go!" No matter how many years went, Li Quan pulled the man and ran to the nearby air-raid shelter.

"Drugs often come to bombard me, right?" The man's legs and feet were not slow. In the sudden gathering of people, he could actually follow Li Quan tightly, running while asking.

"I don't come often," Li Quan sighed while running, "but these bastards explode everywhere regardless of the east, south, west and north. They are all the people... they are inhumane!"

"Human nature?" The man suddenly snorted coldly, "If the Japanese devils had human nature, the sun could come out from the west... They could massacre 300,000 people in Nanjing alone!"

"Nanjing, I know, I'm...what did you say?"
