Through the small towns of Italy a hundred years ago, through the crowds and the streets,
Seeing that there are really pictures of time after another that people can smell time, the facilities on the street are very simple, and people are talking about words that Fang Ran can’t understand, but they have an extremely clear expression.
Let Fang Ran suddenly forget that he was not in the scene, but really returned to the world 100 years ago.
They used currency that Fang Ran had never seen before, and occasionally a carriage that he had only seen in old foreign movies passed by on the paved road.
The autumn sun shines brightly and warmly, which is different from the long distance of the natural wilderness of Yier, where Delier is full of lively crowds.
I feel a little bit novel, but speaking of it, this is the first time he has carefully looked at the scenery abroad.
After all, he was thinking about other things at the meeting in Oslo, except for the sea of lights that looked back, he actually didn't look at anything.
But now, by the end of this scene, which is not yet known for how long it will last, he has enough time.
Strolling on the streets of Delier, watching the classical doors and windows being gently pushed open, the pedestrians passing by are wearing very different styles of clothes, but compared to the unclear foreign countries, if you are in China, you should feel more empathetic Notice the difference in time...
I don't know at this time, what are the people in that land doing?
Ha, but except for the lady, no one else is born yet...
Thinking of these slightly magical thoughts, Fang Ran was actually more curious about the land where she lived. Suddenly she felt that Ling who was following her, seemed to be a step slower, and then trot a little to follow.
"what happened?"
Fang Ran asked subconsciously. The moment he turned his head, he saw that the girl next to him was looking back, and she shook her head gently without speaking. From this angle, she couldn't see the expression on her face.
At the moment when he was a little puzzled, Fang Ran, who was about to move forward, suddenly saw the glass window of a shop from the corner of his eye.
There is a pair of leather short boots that he has seen.
The label below is marked with a price in ink,
50Lired\'Argento.
If a piece of black bread is a copper coin, 50 lire silver coin is definitely a high price that most people in this town cannot afford.
So...
Fang Ran looked at that pair of leather short boots in his aesthetic point of view, as if he understood something and continued to lead the the streets of the town.
It wasn't until after turning around an intersection that he suddenly stopped and spoke as if he had forgotten something:
"Oh, by the way, Ling, wait for me for a while, come back soon!"
Fang Ran suddenly said something haha to the girl next to him, and then inexplicably was left in the same place, Ling looked at him, rushing away at the same speed as if he had lost money, looking at him in a daze, as if worried. Look like.
Turning around the corner that Ling can't see, returning to the previous street, walked to the door of the well-decorated store, and the moment the door was opened, it matched the sound of the old store's bell ringing in her ears.
"Good morning, sir, what do you need..."
He spoke as usual, but the boss with a two-handed beard behind the counter was shocked when he saw the first guest today. He didn't expect that the other party was a foreigner.
And seeing him walk in calmly, the boss swallowed for some reason, and felt a sense of tension.
I glanced at the interior of this store. The lighting in the room of this era is not very good. Various leather boots, gloves, and lace cloth clothes are hung on the hangers. There are some sundries on the counter inside.
In this underdeveloped era, food is traded in open-air stalls. Even in stores where ordinary people cannot come, there are only a few items that can be sold at a price.
Withdraw his gaze and put his eyes on the side of the glass showcase with a lot of impurities. On those small leather short boots, the interface of Nightnet appeared. The words he wanted to say were transformed by the function of Nightnet. In this way, he could finally express his meaning.
It's like he knocked on the door of the town mayor's house last night.
Fang Ran took out a blank paper card and pen, wrote the string of Italian letters, pointed to the cowhide boots that were placed in the most conspicuous position, calmly placed the card on the counter, the silent text seemed to be conveying for him Words with strength.
"Sell me those shoes"
...
Suddenly being left in place, seeing Fang Ran’s figure running away, Ling stunned in place, not knowing what he was going to do.
The figure of the girl was standing on the street of Delil. She looked at the pedestrians coming and going, pursed her lips, and slowly retreated to the street. She raised her head and looked at the autumn as the washed blue sky in a daze. ,
Then a pair of cowhide boots suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Qiang Qiang!"
Unexplained voices cheered in the ears, opened his eyes wide, and was startled, Ling turned away from the wall in a panic. What he saw was Fang Ran carrying these leather short boots in one hand, flexible from the roof. Turned over,
There are no ladders or walls to focus on. It is as simple as going to the forest to pick fruit and come down from the tree every time.
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised? Do you like it?"
Fang Ran squatted in front of the girl with a glove and ankle boots, blinked and asked with a smile.
With her light golden pupils wide open, she looked at a pair of small and beautiful leather boots with thick heels and a buckle belt. Ling looked incredible at what she had just seen in the window, and suddenly appeared in her hands at this moment!
She suddenly raised her head, the incredible look on her pretty little face could not be concealed, and what she saw was still the smiling face of the young man.
Why...impossible...
It obviously costs 50 lire silver coins!
"This...very expensive..."
Ling bit her lip. Some did not dare to hold it again, but did not dare to put it down. A little entangled, it was the first time she had touched such a precious thing.
"do you like it?"
Fang Ran smiled and turned his head to look at her.
Then when he heard his words, the girl was stunned.
I lowered my head and hugged these leather short boots into my arms, nodded inexplicably feeling my eyes hot.
"Ok..."
Eye sockets were red and his voice choked, as if he was a little late for crying impulsively caught by the collar last night.
On the street in the small town of Delil, the young man crouched down looked at the girl holding the pair of leather short boots in front of him, smiled and said:
"Let's go, we have to go to the tailor's shop, the next journey may take a long time."
...
In the old tailor's shop, there are piles of various fabrics and middle-aged women wearing tailor's cloth, sitting behind the sewing machine. It is not a bright room with several sets of finished clothes.
jingle...
The moment the bell rang on the door, the hostess of the tailor shop welcomed her first customer today. She stood up anxiously, wiped the oil stains on the sewing machine, and just wanted to say hello.
What I saw was a young man wearing a white shirt she hadn't seen before. The neat and clean clothes made the room a bit brighter, led by a beautiful slender girl wearing a pair of expensive leather short boots.
"Huan... welcome..."
She immediately stammered and said, watching the young man glance around the house in a somewhat restrained and uncomfortable way, and then, after spotting the curtain compartment where she measured and changed clothes for female customers,
Bending down to the girl beside her, she spoke a language that she didn't understand.
"Ling, go in and wait."
Someone who didn't understand why they came here took a look at Fang Ran, but Ling opened the curtain obediently and walked into the changing room.
After seeing the girl enter, the seamstress turned her gaze to Fang Ran, but suddenly realized that she did not know when he had an extra set of black and white lace folds in his hand.
He brought a blank paper card to her.
"Help her change it, I will pay you"
Somewhat dazedly, she took the skirt from Fang Ran's hands. When the seamstress looked at the black and white skirt, she felt that she dared to swear to God, even if it was on the rich ladies who came to order the clothes. I have never seen such a delicate and beautiful dress.
OMG, who designed such a beautiful dress! ?
Carefully exclaimed and swallowed, she crept open the curtains of her clothes and walked into the changing room, but she couldn't help but take a few more glances before entering.
Hearing the incomprehensible communication from the curtain, Fang Ran sat on the chair by the window and looked at the distant sky outside.
That's right, it was actually created by [Chuangpai] according to the gothic skirt that Ling wore in his memory.
Although he does not remember some details very clearly, it may be a lot worse than the original, but it is also much better than the workmanship of this era.
With his wrists propped on his cheeks on the table, Fang Ran slightly raised his neck to look towards the blue sky, a piece of golden sunlight imprinted on his face, making him a little surprised.
At this time, what happened to the North Pole...
Although he knew that there was enough time, there was actually a slight anxiety and anxiety somewhere in his heart.
No, no,
What I have to consider now is the immediate matter.
A rectangular card appeared in his hand, and the woman with her eyes closed on the [Fog Card], folded her hands on her chest, seemed to be praying for something.
[Symbol: Determine the state of affairs, determine the direction]
A symbol that is diametrically opposed to what it represents, as if telling myself something,
Fang Ran looked at [Fog Pai] for a moment, and then suddenly he heard a loud voice of resistance coming from the curtain!
His eyes were cold and lowered for an instant, and he stood up suddenly from the chair. The first reaction was that the accident happened. At the moment when he was about to act,
What I saw was the seamstress pushed out forcefully.
"Sorry, sir, this little girl doesn't seem to want me to give it to her..."
I didn’t understand her explanation at all, and ruled out the possibility of an accident, but he didn’t know what was going on and then opened the curtain in strides.
Then I saw Ling in disheveled clothes, biting her lip and tightly holding the half-scattered strip of cloth on her arm, shrank in a corner like a kitten refusing to be touched.
All kinds of small scars appeared on the exposed arm.
It only took Fang Ran a moment to understand.
Why even after changing clothes at the mayor’s house before, Ling did not untie the tattered cloth strips wrapped around her arms and legs.
It also made him understand why Ling in his memory kept wearing black stockings and gothic long sleeves with her hands hidden.
He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and was silent for a few seconds.
Then Fang Ran slowly walked to Ling's body, touched her head and spoke softly:
"It's okay...it's okay, I will always be by your side in the future...you don't have to do those hard things anymore, there won't be such things anymore,"
He took a deep breath to hold the choked choking in his throat, smiled lightly at her but spoke very seriously:
"I promise."
...
...
The sky gradually dimmed, and the bright sunshine ended on the horizon,
The kerosene lamps in the small town of Delil were lit up in the station in the early twentieth century and gathered on the waiting platform. It was a man in a black suit holding a newspaper, carrying a suitcase on the seat. The waiting family of three, businessmen and women in a hurry ~EbookFREE.me~ and the sleepy old man with hats at the ticket office.
Then the sound of footsteps sounded on the steps of the entrance, and the thick heels that the civilians could not wear made steady footsteps, making the men and women in the station subconsciously look over there.
What they saw was a gorgeous gothic dress in black and white, with long sleeves on the arms with hidden hands and lace, and a pair of small leather short boots under the slender legs and black stockings.
The light blonde hair is behind her head, the exquisite and beautiful girl who is admirably dressed like a doll,
She followed closely behind the young foreigners who changed their outfits in a double-breasted suit jacket.
The two figures are very different, but they stand together in harmony.
Woo
The sound of steam neighing came from far and near, the thick black smoke window gave out white smoke of steam, and the steel wheels dyed in vermillion red made the cheering sound of ‘Clang Dang Dang Dang’ slowly buffered into the platform,
In the era when the creation with the internal combustion engine as the core could not be promoted, born in the first industrial revolution, tools called steam trains gave humans a way to go farther.
The train stopped and the door opened, opening the door for this journey to one of Italy’s most prosperous cities.
Wearing luxurious skirts that are unreal like a dream, some can’t believe that the exquisite figure in the mirror is themselves. At this moment, there are finally some girls who match the appearance in Fang Ran’s memory.
Seeing the "Steel Monster" she had never seen before, she couldn't help but gently squeezed the corner of the figure in front of her. Then she saw the young man carrying a suitcase, and gently raised the brim of the black top hat to face it. Smile to himself:
"Are you ready to go?"
The passing town, the moment the steam train screamed in the station towards the distance, finally opened the curtain for the night...
