026 New Life

While Li Mu was posing at the bow of the boat, Old Man Chen and Fatty White were wearing formal clothes, preparing to go up the gangway not far behind Li Mu.

When Old Man Chen and Fatty White noticed Li Mu, Li Mu's feet were on the iron railing at the bow of the boat. Although the sea breeze blew Li Mu's clothes and made a sound, Li Mu's waist was straight, and his fists were clenched strongly while opening his arms. His slightly raised head showed the confidence of the young man. Facing the rising sun, Li Mu's back seemed to be shrouded in a circle of golden light. This scene was very impactful and infectious.

"Is he always like this?" Old Man Chen looked at Li Mu with complicated eyes.

"I don't know--" Fatty Bai told the truth, and his eyes at Li Mu were also inexplicable: "If this person was not a hero in troubled times, he was a capable minister in governing the world, doing good and evil would probably be just a matter of one thought--"

The fat man didn't say something: I don't know whether this is lucky or unfortunate for me, the Qing Dynasty.

Fatty Bai's evaluation of Li Mu is quite high when he can be compared with Cao Cao. Of course, Fat Bai has given up targeting Li Mu now and has already arrived ashore. It would be useless to think about those who have nothing.

This scene was of course noticed by the crowd on the shore. Arnold Onines, a reporter from San Francisco's Daily News Chronicle, took a side photo of Li Mu. This photo will be spread all over the world as a microcosm of "staying a child" in the next few weeks.

Li Mu did not notice that his whim had been frozen forever. After jumping off the railing, Li Mu turned around and found that the little fat man was standing behind Li Mu.

"Why, you didn't show the glory of my Qing Dynasty?" Li Mu asked casually.

Before changing clothes just now, Old Man Chen said a lot, and Li Mu only remembered a few words, including words like "Showing the glory of my Qing Dynasty and impressing the four barbarians". This is like a delusion. It would be good not to be ridiculed, so Li Mu did not feel uncomfortable.

The little fat man’s idea is similar to Li Mu, but the little fat man and Li Mu have different identities after all, and he is still a little awe of me, the little fat man of the Qing Dynasty, so the little fat man did not follow Li Mu to mock him, which surprised Li Mu quite.

"You are dressed like this and standing so high, so you are afraid that others will not see you, right?" The fat man was very upset when he remembered Li Mu's actions just now.

There is nothing I can do if I’m not happy. Li Mu wore a round-neck shirt and jeans, so there’s no problem with climbing high and low. The little fat man didn’t even think about it. The little fat man was wearing a long gown and jacket, and he also had a melon-skin hat on his head. The style of the clothes was similar to the little zombies lined up on the shore, but the texture was definitely much better.

Only then did Li Mu feel in the mood to look up at San Francisco in the 19th century, but this look made Li Mu feel unpleasant.

San Francisco in the 19th century was similar to a noisy vegetable market, which was the first impression San Francisco gave Li Mu.

Li Mu had never been to San Francisco in his previous life, so he did not try to find any famous places and historical sites. What caught Li Mu's eyes were the sails everywhere, the chimneys that were spitting black smoke, and the chaotic crowds on the shore, which was really different from the United States that Li Mu remembered.

Near the pier is a square with an area that can be called a vast square. Unfortunately, the ground of this square has not been hardened and there is garbage everywhere. With the ubiquitous sea breeze, garbage and dust are flying freely, and the smell of horse manure is simply disgusting.

That's right, although Li Mu hasn't arrived ashore, he can still smell the strong smell of horse manure.

There are no cars these days, and carriages are the main means of transportation for people. There are a large number of carriages on the docks in San Francisco. They walk around the docks square at will. Occasionally, two carriages are scratched, either causing a verbal war or a full war. There is no traffic police on the docks, so as long as someone fights, they will always surround three layers inside and three layers outside.

It seems that Americans also like to watch the fun.

Since there are so many horse carriages, horse manure can be seen everywhere. There are no cleaners who patrol at any time. The horse manure is directly mixed with the soil, dyeing the ground of the square black, which shows the thickness of this "paste"-

There was also an immigrant ship from Europe that arrived in San Francisco with Li Mu and others. When the little zombies got ashore, the immigrants on the immigrant ship were also getting ashore. The little zombies could still keep quiet. The immigrants from Europe looked much vulgar, children cried, women scolded, men shouted, and some seasick guys struggled to get ashore and immediately started vomiting. The scene was really chaotic.

Someone is indeed welcoming the little zombies on the shore—

No, maybe it is more appropriate to watch. It is obvious that the quality of Americans these days needs to be improved. Those men wearing polite tuxedoes and women in court-style long skirts did not show much enthusiasm, but pointed at the little zombies, occasionally not knowing what witty words their companions around them said. These guys who seemed to be gentlemen or ladies would make unscrupulous laughs, and even bent over laughing. This scene was really embarrassing.

All the little zombies are actually children. For the first time, they came to a strange continent. Facing a group of unfriendly foreigners, these children naturally remain silent and use this method to fight against all provocations.

So it seems that these children from the Qing Empire are more gentlemen, if they ignore the braids behind their heads.

In fact, just tomorrow, the New York Times will publish a report that when talking about these children, it will be described in this way: the thirty Qing Empire students who arrived in San Francisco yesterday were all very young, all of whom were excellent gentlemen and ladies.

Obviously, because of these braids, Americans can't figure out the genders of these little zombies.

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Li Mu really couldn't raise any respect, and subconsciously curled his lips.

"Hey, you were very excited just now, what's wrong now?" Mike was puzzled by Li Mu's expression.

"Is there any reason I should be excited?" Li Mu looked at the direction of the dock and still curled his lips without hiding his disdain: "If you can take me to see the Devil's Island, it might make me excited."

Devil Island, this is a famous place.

Alcatraz Prison is located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Of course, it is not the famous prison now. It only has a lighthouse on it to guide ships entering and leaving the port.

"Why do I feel that you are familiar with this place? Is this your first time in San Francisco?" Mike felt the mystery of Li Mu more and more.

"Of course not. I have been here many times in my dream!" Li Mu was still half true and half false. After dealing with Mike, Li Mu shouted to the Yan family: "Let's go, let's go ashore, let's teach them to start a new life!"
