"Oriental, Oriental!"
The pudgy middle-aged woman in front of the house yelled with surprise and disgust in her tone.
oriental? Gu Jun could hear this word, so he made a judgment in an instant. Although this word is not serious discrimination, it can also be offensive. Whenever he sees him, he shouts it. This is not an era that is friendly to oriental people. place.
The people in the house over there were alarmed. First, there was a middle-aged man who was also short and fat, with freckles and pockmarks all over his face, and shouted excitedly: "Damn it, you bastard, goddamn heretic, get out of here , stay away from my house!"
"Hey." Gu Jun raised his hands, expressing that he was not malicious, and that he was unfamiliar with the place, so he couldn't argue with them, "I'm leaving now."
"Damn old John, useless old thing, how could you let such a pagan walk into our town!" the pockmarked man cursed, and behind him three children of different ages also walked out of the house, some Looking suspiciously, the man kept cursing: "Bring me my damn gun, quick!"
As soon as he heard gun, Gu Jun quickly walked down the hillside. Where the hell am I
He walked in a hurry, down the hill into a desolate maple forest, passed through the forest, and came to a wide dirt road in a small town.
Telephone poles... there are telegraph poles over there! Very old fashioned wooden poles, but the hanging wires also connect the area.
There are guns and telephone poles. This should be modern, but it is not modern.
It was also at this time that Gu Jun suddenly heard ferocious dog barking chasing after him, and a group of men's rough curses:
"Oriental bastards, they are all devils!"
"Can't let him run away, he will kill us all."
"Damn it, Ford, why did you let him run away just now, why didn't you shoot him dead!"
Hearing these cursing words, Gu Jun frowned. Even though his abdominal wound hurt, he could only run, cursing in his heart, fuck these bastards.
Even in modern times, the so-called people of color have been bullied in Europe and America, especially in rural towns like this. If you shoot him to death and then dig a hole to bury him, those people will not have any responsibility. This is not wasteland, but it is equally dangerous for him.
The barking of the dog was getting closer, as well as the footsteps and curses of those men.
From the hillside to here, Gu Jun only walked a little way, those people would catch up very quickly, he was anxious, if it wasn't for those dogs, he could find a place to hide, but if there are dogs, he can't hide. There is no drawing paper and no gun in the backpack. If I knew it, I would at least bring a bottle of anti-wolf spray...
Anti-wolf spray, how long has it been said, I have to carry it with me long ago.
Wolves can be defended, and a few dogs should be no problem.
"What to do, what to do..." Gu Jun thought, he had to use some wisdom, he didn't have a gun in his hand, and he couldn't use spells, so, I'm actually an Eastern prince living here? As long as you help me go back to the east, I'll give you money? A lot of money
At this moment, those chasing sounds were about to come out of the woods, and Gu Jun suddenly saw a carriage loaded with hay chasing up from behind.
There was only one driver on the carriage, an old white man with a naturally red face, a big shaggy beard, and a thick and callused hand holding the rein. He was a workman. However, the old man's expression was not vicious, instead, he looked at him as if he was looking at some distinguished guest.
"Young man, get in the car." The old man yelled, "Can you understand? Get in the car, if you want to survive, get in the car and hide. Those reckless men are coming, hurry up!"
Gu Jun also has some discerning eyes, and there is no other choice now, at least he is an old man and does not have a gun.
"I can understand." He burrowed into the hay on the pallet of the wagon and hid himself in the pile of hay.
The old man immediately let out a cry, waved his whip, raised the horse's hooves, and the carriage immediately continued to move forward.
Soon, Gu Jun looked through the gaps between the hay and saw a few strong dogs rushing out of the woods, some looked at this side, some looked at that, and then several big men also came out The woods, all with shotguns in their hands, looked around to find him, cursing, but did not suspect the carriage.
Da da da, the carriage gradually drove away on this muddy and tattered country road.
Gu Jun has not moved or made a sound, just silently observing the situation on the side of the road.
This small town must be sparsely populated, there is not a single house in half a day, and the distance from the road is also very far. But he saw more modern things in the front yards of those houses, and there was a black car in one family, which was in the shape of an old car, but it was not a steam car, it burned oil.
There are cars and electricity, it should be the 20th century.
Thinking about it, Gu Jun took advantage of the carriage to enter the deserted road again, and asked loudly: "Old man, thank you, where are we going?"
"My farm," said the old man, "you can get out of the car at any time, but I don't advise you to do that. You don't know what these people will do if they catch you."
"You are different from them?" Gu Jun asked deliberately, what is this old man drawing
"Haha." The old man laughed heartily, "Yes, I am different. I have always been very interested in the East, and I want to know some things from you. Boy, I don't care if you are Oriental, Indian, or black. , or someone... as long as you're human, that's fine."
Gu Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, there was something in the old man's words.
"Sir, if I know the answer to your question, I will answer it, but I have a few questions I want to ask you first." He had to figure out the situation first, "Where is this place? When is it? Please specify the year, month, and day."
"What? Okay." The old man was a little puzzled, but he still replied: "Citigroup, Massachusetts, October 25, 1929."
Even though he was mentally prepared, Gu Jun was still taken aback. Did I go back to the past
How did you get to Citigroup, Massachusetts
"Massachusetts?" He murmured, thinking of something, New England, Massachusetts, this is the place where the famous witch trials happened...
In China, this state is generally referred to as Massachusetts, and Harvard University is here.
"Yeah, Massachusetts," said the old man. "Chicktown, a little shit, next to Arkham, Innsmouth, and Newburyport."
Now Gu Jun's heart skipped a beat, what! ? Innsmouth? Innsmouth! Innsmouth!
The first time he heard this place name was from Uncle Li Zhenbo's words from memory fragments. It was one of the places that Seabird had been looking for for many years but couldn't find it. "It should be there, but I just can't find it." That's what Uncle Li said.
After that, the Tianji Bureau couldn't find it, including the search in the territory of Citigroup. After the real cooperation between goa and mo, it still couldn't find it.
Neither the old place names nor the existing ones were found.
But now, the old man said...
Gu Jun was in a daze until he cursed secretly, "Innesmouth, I may have found it."
