Save the Bachelor of Heaven
Chapter 4258 4260 [Good deeds bring good rewards]
The next day, after Xiang Nan finished breakfast, he came to the first-class cabin and returned the clothes to Mrs. Brown.
"Madam, thank you very much for your help." He said with a smile.
"You're welcome, young man." Mrs. Brown waved her hand and smiled, "In fact, even if I didn't lend you the clothes, you wouldn't be rude to everyone, right?"
"Yes, but I'm still very grateful for your kindness." Xiang Nan smiled, and then handed Mrs. Brown a small box, "This box contains a magic potion. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as you don't die at the time and have a breath, you can survive. Take three pills and you will be completely cured. I hope you can make good use of it."
Mrs. Brown was surprised when she heard it.
In the early 20th century, before the invention of antibiotics, people died very easily. Even minor illnesses such as colds, typhoid fever, and dysentery can kill people.
The Spanish flu in 1918 even caused the death of 50 million people, which was worse than the Black Death in the Middle Ages. World War I ended hastily because of its prevalence.
Because all countries lost a large number of people due to influenza, new soldiers could not be replenished in time.
Therefore, the potion Xiang Nan gave her was a rare treasure.
"No, no, no, it's too precious, I can't accept it." Mrs. Brown refused.
Although these potions are precious, she is not a cheap person. It's just a small favor, she can't accept such a valuable gift.
"You're welcome, I have a lot of this kind of potion, it's nothing to me." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "So please accept it, this is my intention."
"Okay, thank you." Mrs. Brown saw him say that, and then she put the box away.
...
After returning the clothes, Xiang Nan returned to the third-class deck and basked in the sun on the deck with Tommy.
Fabrizio and the girl Helder sat together and chatted.
They were also at the party last night, singing, dancing and drinking together, which made their relationship progress quickly.
I just don't know if it will succeed in the end.
After all, one of them is from Italy and the other is from Norway, and the language is different, and the cultural differences are even greater.
What's more troublesome is that Helder's parents don't seem to like Fabrizio.
This cast a shadow over their relationship.
But it doesn't matter if he breaks up. Xiang Nan believes that with Fabrizio's charm, it is not difficult to find another suitable girl.
There are many Italian immigrants in the United States, and Fabrizio is young, handsome, charming, and enterprising, which is still very attractive to girls.
"In two or three days, we can arrive in the United States. I can already smell the fragrance there." Tommy said with a smile.
Xiang Nan nodded with a smile.
In that era, the United States was indeed a place of hope in people's hearts and was known as the "City on the Hill".
This name comes from the Bible, Matthew, "You are the light of the world, and a city built on a hill cannot be hidden."
And the economy was indeed developed in the golden age of the United States.
The salary of a blue-collar worker can support a family of four, live in a villa, buy a car, use a TV, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, dishwasher, etc.
Mom can take care of the children full-time and prepare a very sumptuous dinner, including bread, butter, cheese, steak, chicken, sausage...
Tommy is Irish. In the middle of the last century, Ireland suffered a terrible famine, which caused more than one million people to starve to death.
As a result, the Irish immigrated to the United States in large numbers in order to survive.
Just like in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, there were frequent floods and droughts in Qi and Lu, which led to a large number of people from Qi and Lu violating the imperial ban and bravely going to Guandong to make a living.
Although there is no great famine in Ireland today, the memory of hunger has been engraved in the genes and culture of the Irish.
So for Tommy, immigrating to the United States is not only about making a fortune, but also about staying away from hunger and the rule of the British (Ireland was independent only in 1922.)
So he was more excited than others.
…
Just then, someone laughed and said, "Mr. Dawson, we are going to church. I wonder if you are interested in joining our prayer."
Xiang Nan looked up and saw Astor IV, Mr. Guggenheim, Mr. Strauss, and Ismay, the ship's director, who were in the first-class cabin.
Seeing them coming, everyone present was shocked.
These were all big shots in the first class cabin. Although they didn't know them, it didn't stop them from seeing them.
And it was really strange that these big shots invited Xiang Nan to attend their worship so intimately.
You know, birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. Different classes and different wealth completely separate them.
The nobles in the first class cabin will not associate with the peasants, and the peasants will not have any intersection with the nobles in the first class cabin.
So the scene that happened now surprised everyone present.
"Sorry, I'm a believer in the god of love, not Jesus." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness."
"Okay." Astor IV and others nodded after hearing what he said, "Then can you come to our lunch party?"
"No, I'll just eat in the third-class restaurant." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "Actually, you don't have to worry about it. I will leave after getting off the ship, and we won't meet again in the future."
Hearing what he said, Astor IV, Mr. Guggenheim, Mr. Strauss and others were all very disappointed.
Xiang Nan is the only person with superpowers they have met. Apart from other things, the "prophecy" alone is shocking.
He can predict people's fate and the development of things. In legends, he is praised as a "prophet", "saint", and "prophet", which is equivalent to a god-like existence, such as Prometheus, Elisha, Isaiah, etc.
And people who do business know the famous saying "knowing in advance is more valuable than money". If Xiang Nan can make a prophecy for them and let them know the business opportunities in advance, it will be easy to make more than one or two million dollars, one or two million dollars.
So they really hope that Xiang Nan can stay and help them. But now looking at Xiang Nan's intention, it is clear that he has made up his mind and has little interest, so they can only sigh in despair.
"Okay, Mr. Dawson, then we won't bother you." Several people had to nod, and then turned away disappointedly.
...
"Man, why did those people in the first class come to you?" Tommy asked in surprise.
Those people were obviously big shots, either rich or noble. The clothes they wore were probably enough for his ten-year salary. Such people were so polite to Xiang Nan, which really puzzled him.
"Who knows, maybe they think I'm handsome." Xiang Nan smiled.
Tommy obviously didn't believe him when he said that.
No matter how handsome Xiang Nan is, she is not a woman. What use is she to these old men?
But Xiang Nan's answer was obviously that he didn't want to tell the truth, and he couldn't continue to ask.
"Jack, what god is the god of love? Is it Venus in our Roman mythology?" Fabrizio asked curiously.
