Behind me is the earth

Chapter 390 388. Paul’s experiences

"Woo~woo~"

Amid the roar, black smoke shot straight into the sky like a dragon. On the port, Paul, who was feeding the seagulls out of boredom, was confused by the sudden sound and the shocking picture.

"What kind of ship is that?"

The cigarette holder in Paul's mouth fell to the ground without him noticing.

A total of 5 large ships painted in dark and light blue sailed out from the military port in the distance, forming a Z-shaped shape, heading towards the deep sea.

Just as he was thinking about what those five huge ships with no sails, roaring sounds, and spitting out black smoke were, Olga ran towards this side. , behind him were a group of men in black coats.

There is also an acquaintance among them, whose name is a bit difficult to pronounce. He is called "Zheng Shuwen" and he is a translator.

"Paul, we have been summoned by His Majesty the Emperor!"

Olga's face glowed red with excitement.

"Did the treasure work?"

When Paul heard this, he guessed that the treasure he had given must have had an effect.

However, he was a little confused because the treasure had just been presented yesterday, and today he was invited by His Majesty the Emperor of Jingguo. The administrative efficiency of Jingguo must be too high!

Extra thoughts could not suppress the ecstasy in his heart.

But since he was meeting His Majesty the Emperor, he did not intend to go empty-handed. He must bring a gift that he could afford.

Jingguo was so rich in supplies that he had never seen before.

He couldn't get any other gifts, but he had many beautiful girls at his disposal.

When the girls learned that they were going to be given to His Majesty the Emperor Jingguo, they went completely crazy! Everyone is competing enthusiastically. This is the perfect opportunity for them to change the destiny of their lives. It is also the only opportunity. Once successful, they will soar into the sky!

In the end, Paul chose the two most beautiful and decent girls here.

Then, with more than 200 beautiful girls seeing him off, Paul, who changed into the most formal, clean and decent clothes, said goodbye to Dongyang Port.

Foluo Country is a small country with a total population of only a few hundred thousand people and only three city-states in total.

In the past two years, there has been another war with neighboring countries, and many men have died on the battlefield. The country has also been dragged into the quagmire of war, poverty, and hunger. There are also small countries nearby that are taking advantage of the situation. The country of Floro is already a precarious country. Paul doesn't know if the country of Floro will still exist when he goes back next time. nation.

And these girls are also women who can no longer survive in the country of Foluo. They have been trampled, trampled, and toyed with by the foreigners who entered their land, and their dignity has long been destroyed by hunger.

It is also voluntary for these women to set sail to the sea. They are willing to go out and find a way to make a living, even if this way of life is sold.

As long as you can eat enough, everything else is empty!

Paul and Olga, along with two beautiful gifts, were brought into a steel box.

This horseless car goes very fast on the road!

Arriving at Yunmeng County, the people of the two small barbarian countries were dazzled by everything here.

In a hurry, we arrived at the train station in Yunmeng County.

There is a lot of traffic here, bustling and bustling. In the dead of winter, the rickshaw drivers are sweating like rain, the bells are ringing continuously, and the vendors are selling their goods along the street.

They had never seen so many people. These people were wearing silk, cloth, or more of a cyan cloth, with thick cotton hair, and they were walking in the square in front of the station.

“Everyone here can afford to wear cotton-padded clothes!”

Paul felt like he was in a dream.

He was urged by his translator Zheng Shuwen and entered the train station.

After passing through the waiting hall, while waiting on the platform, Zheng Shuwen talked to the Jinghaiwei platoon leader who was responsible for escorting Paul and Olga to the provincial capital this time.

The Jinghaiwei platoon leader was a young man in his twenties, and he was accompanied by a dozen other young men. They were all wearing plain clothes at the moment, but they all carried pistols with bulging bags under their coats.

"Isn't that thing just a beautiful piece of iron? It actually attracted the prince's attention."

"I heard the Gentile say this is the key to a treasure."

"Zun Du Fake Du, how can I have a key like that?"

"Who knows, but that bag is really amazing."

"That bag is worthless. If you put anything in it, it will leak out. It is obviously a damaged item."

"Woooooo~"

As he was talking, a whistle sounded from a distance.

Looking up, I saw a train coming puffing out billowing black smoke.

When Paul and Olga saw the train approaching quickly and entering the station with the sound of "pants pants", they still had a dreamlike feeling.

Along the way, the pictures they saw had a great impact on them!

When the two of them were pushed into a section of the carriage and arranged to sit down, the train left Yunmeng County and entered the mountains, enjoying the magnificent mountains and rivers of Jingguo through the car window.

It is hard to imagine how one can build a magical road that passes through such a precipitous environment. Is it really possible for human beings to do this?

Especially when the train passed through the long tunnel and looked at the lights in the tunnel, Paul and the others were shocked.

The train stopped several times in Fuyang County, Quanshan County, Le County, and Yunlong County. At eleven o'clock at noon, it arrived in Qingcheng Town.

Here, they will transfer to a train that goes directly to Qifeng County.

"The train won't arrive until half past one. There are still two and a half hours left. Let's go out to eat something first."

Zheng Shuwen suggested.

The platoon leader thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The public security in Qingcheng Town is trustworthy.

Coming out of the station, Qingcheng Station is much busier than Dongyang Station. In just a few years since its establishment, Qingcheng Station has undergone several expansions. Nowadays, the daily flow of people here exceeds 10,000, which is comparable to many prefecture-level city railway stations on the planet.

Such a tall building, more majestic than the cathedral in the Kingdom of Ilan, shuttled among the crowds of people. In such a mid-winter season, Paul actually felt the heat!

In Paul's eyes, the population of Jingguo was huge, and there were countless people in every city. In such a huge country, one person can drown the Floro Kingdom with just one mouthful of saliva!

In the square in front of the station, Paul saw a tall statue.

Many people worshiped a statue, and some dropped copper coins at the foot of the statue to pray for blessings.

"Is that the god of your Jingguo?"

Paul asked curiously and Zheng Shuwen.

"No, that is our Prince Qi!"

Zheng Shuwen corrected.

After speaking, he also walked to the statue, clasped his hands together, and bowed respectfully.

"It's the king of Jingguo!"

Paul and Olga whispered.

Olga nodded.

Looking at Zheng Shuwen who sincerely, devoutly and respectfully worshiped the statue, and the people who faced the statue with the same expression of admiration, both of them felt that the king of Jingguo was among his people. A profound influence that cannot be described in words.

"This must be a good king who is wise, powerful, and loves the lives of his people!"

Olga said.

Paul nodded.

In their minds, a good king is so important!

A wise monarch can often expand territory and bring a lot of resources; a benevolent monarch can often make the country peaceful and peaceful, and the people's lives can be peaceful; while a violent monarch can plunge the country into a quagmire of war, with countless citizens killed and injured; A fatuous monarch will bring chaos to the country and starve the people.

In their eyes, the King of Jingguo was obviously a promising and wise monarch.

"Ring, ring, ring...friend, would you like to take a car? It's ten cents per person when I go into town."

Picking up passengers by tricycle has become a feature in front of various railway stations. But Qingcheng Town is particularly special. Because it developed early, the cart drivers here are also very elegant. Many tricycles are decorated in a colorful way.

Some were painted with beautiful patterns, and some were decorated with flowers, just like the coachman talking to customers. His car not only had a shed to protect it from wind and rain, but also installed glass windows on the shed to facilitate customers to see outside.

When I met him in the car, he was painted in rainbow-like colors, which attracted a lot of attention on the road.

Catalina and Anna were attracted by this beautiful car.

Along the way, everything they saw gave them a sense of freshness and shock, especially when they saw the light meals on the train. They swallowed crazily, but did not dare to say a word.

"Come here you two."

Paul shouted towards the two of them.

Both of them wore hoods and masks on their faces, covering almost their entire faces, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. In a strange country, dressing up like this can minimize possible troubles.

There are many restaurants and inns in front of the train station, but there is still plenty of time, and the platoon leader and Zheng Shuwen are also people who live their lives. He hired a few cars and headed towards Nancheng District of Qingcheng Town.

"smell good!"

Catalina smelled an alluring aroma coming to her nose, and her stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

Anna pressed her face against the car window, looking at the fireworks outside.

It was time for various factories to get off work, and workers poured out. Most of them were wearing uniforms and chatting in a bustle. The army of bicycles was like a surging river, flowing on the main road.

Similarly, a large number of stalls and small restaurants on both sides of the street are also bustling with business.

The rich aroma that the two of them smelled came from the roast duck restaurant on the street.

In order to attract customers, the boss held a fan and kept fanning it towards the roast duck, and the aroma of roast duck wafted out.

Looking at the rich food outside, Anna almost cried with greed.

Ordinary people in Jingguo can also live such a life.

Catalina had never thought that this fireworks could be so shocking in the human world. At this moment, she suddenly envied these Jingguo people for being able to live in such a prosperous country. Not only did they not have to worry about going hungry, but they could also eat such a variety of delicacies in a variety of ways!

"Ana, Katarina, get off the car!"

Paul shouted from outside.

The two jumped down quickly.

Following Paul and Olga, he quietly looked at the translator Zheng Shuwen and the platoon leader who were talking over there.

After a while, the translator came over and said to them: "The prices here are cheap, good quality and low price, so just eat here.

Is there anything you want to eat? "

Zheng Shuwen asked, but they were embarrassed to answer.

"Anything is fine."

Paul gave a universal answer that was unmistakable.

"Girls, what about you?"

Zheng Shuwen asked the two women again.

Although the two foreign women were very beautiful, they did not meet his aesthetic taste. Their blue eyes and golden hair made him feel weird. He still liked the black-eyed and black-haired Jingguo woman, who was gentle and considerate, beautiful and reserved.

Moreover, he didn't feel clear about the future of the two girls, because it was said that the prince was not good at beauty.

"We want to eat that..."

Anna raised her hand to point to the roast duck over there, but Catalina caught her with one hand: "We can do it, just listen to the adults."

Katarina said obediently.

Anna looked at Catalina heartbroken, as if she had taken away her roast duck.

Finally, everyone sat down in the store.

Anna never expected that she would end up eating roast duck.

Because this was the busiest time for various restaurants, and all the restaurants were overcrowded. Only this roast duck restaurant had two tables left because the food was more expensive, and they happened to occupy them.

With a smile on her face, Anna took off her face towel and hood, washed her hands in the water basin in the store, and held the rice bowl in her hand while waiting for the meal.

As they sat down, people coming in and out of the store frequently looked sideways.

Although Qingcheng is developed, it is not like Yunmeng County where few people can see foreigners.

At this time, the four foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes attracted a lot of attention.

Some people even thought they were monsters in disguise and started spreading rumors as soon as they went out.

“It smells so good!”

Anna followed the example of others, rolling the sliced ​​duck meat with thin pancakes, shredded green onions, and cucumbers, dipping it into the sauce, and popping it into her mouth. The collision of the fat and the aroma of wheat in her mouth filled her eyes. Her eyes widened suddenly, as if light was growing in her eyes. She had never felt that life was so beautiful and life was so happy.

She pointed at the duck meat with satisfaction and motioned to Catalina to learn from her.

When she saw Catalina imitating her, taking the rolled roast duck into her mouth with her expectant eyes and showing the same expression as hers, Anna showed a satisfied smile.

“Jingguo is so good!”

When she came out of the store, Anna touched her belly, her expression full of happiness.

She clenched her little fists and said as if she had made up her mind: "I will definitely be with His Majesty the Emperor of Jingguo!"

"Why?"

Katarina asked.

"If I can be with the emperor, I can eat roast duck every day from now on!"

Anna said seriously: "It's not just roast duck, there are other delicious things too."

In Catalina's light blue eyes, the pupils briefly lost focus, and for a moment, images flashed by like a fleeting light. Finally, she shook her head: "I'm afraid it's not easy to realize your wish."
