Chapter 198: Wudu Brothers and Sisters
Same London, different time.
Although he knew that he had arrived in London more than a hundred years ago, Lu Qi still couldn't determine which game world he had arrived in.
The name "Thug Gang" is very familiar, as if I have heard it before. However, just having a name is not enough.
Anyway, there is still plenty of time for him to continue exploring the world, so Lu Qi is not too impatient.
However, the top priority is that he must find a way to integrate into this strange era and world first...
Thinking of this, Lu Qi couldn't help but lowered his head and looked at the young man, smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but the young man beat him to it:
"Ah! We have to leave quickly, Alice is still waiting for me!"
"Alice?"
"Let's talk as we walk."
After saying that, Connor took Lu Qi's hand and walked out of the alley together.
Arriving on the street, Lu Qi could truly appreciate the style of the era under Queen Victoria's rule.
The city of London, known as the "Fog City", is shrouded in a gray sky.
The architectural style with the characteristics of the times, the carriages passing by on the brick and stone roads, the London residents and British gentlemen passing by in a hurry, and the fashionable women holding small umbrellas in their hands and wearing lace cake skirts...
The epitome of the entire era is vividly expressed in the noise.
Following Connor, walking quickly on the brick sidewalk, Lu Qi did not forget to ask:
"Connor, where are we going now?"
"Go home, my sister Alice is still waiting for me."
Seeing Connor nimbly walking among the passers-by, Lu Qi raised his eyebrows, as if he had guessed Connor's means of livelihood.
Just half a block away, Lu Qi discovered bad news:
In the streets and alleys, men wearing red vests can be seen almost everywhere!
Although he already knew the answer, Lu Qi still asked Connor:
"Are those people in red vests from the thugs?"
"Yes, they are the biggest gang in London. No one dares to mess with him..."
Halfway through, Connor seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly closed his mouth, turned to look at Lu Qi, and said slightly apologetically:
"I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you got into trouble..."
Hearing this, Lu Qi waved his hand, patted the young man's shoulder, and comforted him casually:
"It's okay, at least now I know what the trouble I got into is."
The uniformed gangs illustrate their tight organization; the largest gang in London represents their strength, which also means that they are very rich!
Looking at the gang of thugs wearing red vests, Lu Qi's eyes flashed...
...
"arrive!"
Following Connor, turning left and right in the streets and alleys, Lu Qi finally arrived at Connor's home.
It is not so much a home as a simple shack made of boards of different lengths and nails.
The space in the shack was very narrow, and Lu Qi had to bend down to get inside.
Inside the shack, there was nothing else except a "bed" made of straw and a piece of curtain cloth.
And a little blond girl covered with a thin blanket was lying on the straw bed.
Even without the [Battlefield Medic] skill, Lu Qi could tell from her flushed face and sweaty forehead that the little girl was sick.
Perhaps hearing the footsteps, the little girl closed her eyes tightly, tried to open her eyes, and shouted softly:
"Brother...is that you?"
Hearing this, the young man immediately came to the bedside, grabbed his sister's hand, and responded softly:
"It's me, Alice. I'm back. How do you feel?"
"I feel... okay, it seems... not so hot anymore..."
Reaching out and touching the girl's forehead, Connor couldn't help but his expression darkened.
The girl's body temperature not only did not drop, but was even hotter than before he went out.
Although he was very anxious, Connor, who was his sister's only support, did not show any panic. Instead, he held Alice's hand tightly and said firmly:
"Alice, just wait a little longer. My brother will soon save enough money to take you to see a doctor."
"Okay, brother, Alice will be good and won't cause you any trouble..."
Looking at the brother and sister in front of him, Lu Qi suddenly felt a huge boulder pressing on his heart, making him breathless.
It seems that the Victorian era more than a hundred years ago was not all beautiful things...
Only then did he understand why Connor had not paid this month's protection fee.
Looking at the sweating little girl, Lu Qi didn't hesitate at all. He stepped forward and patted the young man on the shoulder and asked:
"Connor, is there a hospital near here?"
"Uh... Yes, it's just a block away. Are you hurt?"
Shaking his head, Lu Qi smiled slightly, pointed at Alice, who had a wrinkled face and looked in pain, and said:
"Let's take Alice to the doctor!"
"But, I haven't saved enough yet..."
Before the boy could finish speaking, Lu Qi took out all the coins from his trouser pocket and spread them on his palm, "Are these enough?"
Looking at the money the other party got from the mob gang, Connor paused for a moment and said, "Enough is enough, but I can't..."
"If there's anything you can't do, take it!"
As he spoke, Lu Qi directly took the young man's hand and poured all the coins into his hand. He did not forget to explain: "Just think of it as the guide fee I give you."
"Guide fee?"
Seeing the young man's stunned look, Lu Qi pinched his cheek with his hand and said casually:
"Didn't I just say that I just came from a far away place and don't know anything about London? You can be my guide and take me to get familiar with this city. This is what I gave you in advance.
salary."
Although he is young, he lives in the lower classes of London and deals with villains all day long. Connor is not a stupid and naive child.
He knew that Lu Qi said this deliberately to get him to accept the money.
Staring closely at Lu Qi's kind face, Connor couldn't help but pursed his lips and whispered:
"Thank you, Sir Alex..."
"Let's go, let me pick Alice up..."
After saying that, Lu Qi was about to step forward and pick up Alice, but suddenly he heard footsteps and voices coming from outside the house.
"Are those two stinky rats here?"
"Yes, that's the shack."
Hearing this, Lu Qi stopped suddenly, turned to look at the young man, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Oh, trouble is coming..."
"You and Alice stay here, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
After that, before Connor could speak, Lu Qi reached out and patted the boy on the head, then turned and walked out of the shack.
I saw six gangs of thugs wearing various red costumes, walking towards the shack menacingly.
Seeing this, Lu Qi did not retreat but advanced, opened his arms as if welcoming a guest, and faced him:
