Chapter 2 Supermarket Theft"
"Crack-knock-"
In the corridor leading to the stairwell, which is less than ten meters long, the wooden floor under your feet will squeal in unison with every step you take.This inexplicable sense of terror suddenly made Rudy feel a little panicked. He was afraid of the unknown and didn't know what would be waiting for him in the next second.
Holding the handrail of the stairs with one hand, Rudy nervously walked downstairs step by step. What made him upset was that the wooden floors of the stairs and the corridor were made of the same material. As he walked down step by step, that The torturous "clicking" sound never stopped.
After a long minute, Rudy successfully reached the end of the stairs, which was the landing on the first floor.
Different from the sunlight coming in slightly from the window on the second floor, the passage in front of him seemed more spacious and brighter. Less than two meters ahead, there was a hall.The hall has a fireplace, a chandelier that looks like crystal, three large sofas, and a television.
On one of the sofas, a middle-aged woman who looked about 40 years old was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.Seeing Rudy enter the living room, her face lit up, she smiled and raised her hand and said, "Oh, Rudy, how are you, kid?"
"It doesn't hurt from the fall, does it? Do you want a cup of black tea?"
Just like before, Rudy, who was at a loss for words, was trying to figure out how to answer so as not to make the other party suspicious, when he felt his mouth move on its own, and even his vocal cords also 'cooperated': "Thank you very much, Mai Xi. Ma'am, I'm fine."
"But I have something to buy and I need to go out now. The black tea may not be tasted until I come back. Do you think that's okay?"
Two very long answers were typed out smoothly from the end. While Rudy was shocked and confused, he became even more sure of one thing.
His body is definitely not normal!
On the sofa opposite, Mrs. Maishe put down her tea cup and stood up, walked up to Rudy, gently rubbed his golden retriever and said, "Oh, of course, honey."
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, came to a golden clothes hanger, and took off a white scarf.He turned around and squatted down in front of Rudy, wrapping a scarf around him: "It's still quite cold outside, put this on and come back early, okay?"
Looking at the kind face in front of him, Rudy nodded seriously and replied: "Okay, madam, I will."
After waving goodbye to Mrs. Maishe who sent him out at the gate, Rudy walked out of the gate and truly set foot in this otherworldly land.
Different from the sunlight coming through the windows, standing on the sidewalk with bluestone floor tiles, Rudy raised his face and looked at the bright sunshine above his head, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Damn, labor and management finally saw the sun alive for once.
Breathing the fresh air, Rudy frowned and suddenly remembered something...
Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, London has been known as the Fog City. Even though it has been controlled through iron-fist policies, for the sake of safety, it is better to buy some masks later.
Thinking of this, Rudy sighed and complained: "It's too difficult to live..."
Before setting off, Rudy looked back at the house number: "Well, No. 54, at least I know which one it is..." Then he looked at the map he borrowed from Mrs. Maxey, and Rudy started Lift your feet and move towards your first goal, the bank.
This is a small-scale map, only 1/4 of the entire city of London. It is a travel guide booklet delivered by a hotel near his location.
According to the location markings on the map, with this hotel as the center, he only had to walk for a short time to see a bank at the next street corner.But he didn't know if it was his imagination. He always felt that the name of the street he was on looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
As he walked along the sidewalk, he encountered a fat orange cat. Rudy was dumbfounded for a moment. If it hadn't raised its tail and swayed around in catwalks, he would have thought it was Garfield. Cat.
In addition to Rudy observing his surroundings along the way, most of the pedestrians on the road also showed various expressions when they saw him.
For example, several girls who were walking came towards him. When they saw this little cutie, they all exclaimed, "How cute." Then they didn't care about the so-called "ladylike attitude" and just came up to Rudy and made a mess of him. Touching is also euphemistically called "loving care".
Of course, he didn't gain anything.In addition to the 'benefits' he deserved, he also took the time to ask about the locations of several nearby schools.
As he expected, there was a school less than 1.3 miles away from this street, and the name of the school happened to be 'Aldenham School'.
But this was not the biggest gain. Rather than knowing the location of the school and where to visit, he learned a more exciting news. The young ladies told him that this street is called Baker Street!
When words such as 'Baker Street' and 'Da Ying' came to mind, Rudy's first reaction was - Sherlock Holmes!
Under the shade of the tree, Rudy looked up at the sunlight shining through the leaves of the forest and laughed.
He knows!He knows what world he has traveled to!
Traveling to Britain, he was in London, and happened to live on Baker Street!This is so obvious, why can't he guess it? ?You really underestimate me, Mr. Lu!
Wait, I remember the apartment I lived in was No. 54... If you add Baker Street to the front, it would be - No. 54 Baker Street!And Holmes’s house is 221B Baker Street! Nice, brothers!
With the corner of his mouth raised proudly, Rudy felt happy. Thinking that he would see the famous 'Curly Fu' sooner or later, he was so happy that he jumped up and down while walking.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that he would indeed meet 'Juan Fu' in the near future, but his occupation didn't seem right...
(Of course, this is all for later. Although there are spoilers, it’s not a big problem. You can’t guess it anyway).
Humming an unknown tune along the way, Rudy walked about 400 meters, and soon crossed the road and came to the next street.Looking at the tall buildings in front of him, Rudy couldn't help but be dumbfounded.To be honest, this is the first time he has seen a bank with such a shape. It is different from the architectural style of the flower garden. The entrance of the bank in London is four thick pillars, with a ceiling above the head, and another layer of pillars above. The top is covered with a triangular roof. I don't know if I thought it was the ruins of Athena's temple.
Rudy silently complained that the British people were full and had nothing to do, so why did they build the bank like this to make it difficult for him to find a meal, while walking towards the bank gate.
Not long after, at the bank gate, Rudy walked out blankly holding his bank card. Everyone was dumbfounded.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that the salesperson is very nice, but the balance of this card is shown as: 1?9960?4160!
At that time, the salesperson took Rudy's card and helped him check the business. She just glanced at it casually. She thought it was just an ordinary business and was about to seal the deal... With that casual glance, I almost... The salesperson's eyes popped out.
In the next few minutes, the salesperson looked at Rudy in the wrong way.It turned out that she just thought that as Rudy grew up, she might consider taking the initiative, but... when the balance on the card came into view, she had no other ideas in her mind, except for one thing - "Ask your supervisor for leave." ! Then get rid of this child first!!! What class should I go to! You don’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life!"
After finally getting rid of the salesperson, Rudy barely kept his hands from shaking and stuffed the card back into his pocket.Good guy, he just wanted to see how much money was in this card, but the amount was really shocking. He had never seen so much money even in his previous life.
Although the card has a password, who would let a child who lives alone carry a card with such a large amount of money?Moreover, judging from the fact that the original person has it in his wallet, it should be his biggest source of income...
Rudy frowned and touched his chin and thought for a long time, and finally determined one thing with difficulty.
The original person should know the password of this card, and may even know who gave the card.
but!
He doesn't know!How to withdraw money from the card? ?
How painful it is to have a huge sum of money but not be able to use it!
Forget it, thanks to the fact that I have withdrawn a lot of large amounts of cash in my wallet, I'll have to figure out what to do with the money in the card later... At the very least, if he goes to apply for a replacement card, he has to understand English, right? Just rely on it. Banks wouldn’t believe it. After all, the amount of deposit is really extraordinary.
With a disappointed look on his face, Rudy sighed, opened the map stuffed in his arms, determined the direction, and walked towards his next stop.
I originally planned to go to the convenience store to buy some necessary items after going to the bank, and then go home directly, but who knew I would be 'robbed' on the way...
Fortunately, it was not a loss, at least he knew the specific location of the school.
So, just go to the supermarket to do some shopping first, and then go to the school to check it out.
Oh, right.Just now, he was in the reception hall of the bank and saw the time displays of multiple countries. Among them, the time in London happened to be Saturday, and the year and month were: November 1990, 11.In other words, he further confirmed that this was Da Ying, and the newspaper in the living room at home was from yesterday.
He set out on the journey again, this time walking a little longer, because he saw on the map that there was a supermarket not far behind the convenience store!Thinking that he might need a lot, Rudy decided to take the extra two steps to the supermarket.
Who knew...the extra steps he took not only failed to exercise his body, but also got him into big trouble.
Under an oversized signboard about half a street away from the bank and more than 300 meters away, Rudy put away the map with satisfaction and walked towards the parking lot.And his destination supermarket is surrounded by this group of parking spaces in the center of the parking lot.It's very strange, why do they have to build a circle of parking lots in all directions outside the supermarket, so that he has to dodge left and right to buy something.
After passing half of the parking lot, Rudy finally entered the supermarket as he wished.I don’t know why, but shopping can always arouse human emotions. In a sense, shopping can replace stimulants and make people continuously excited without fatigue.
After entering the supermarket, Rudy found a basket and began to look for the items he needed under the guidance of the signs.
What?How can you find it if you don’t understand English?
Well, see for yourself.
Isn't there a corresponding pattern drawn behind the English words for each area?For example, in the kitchen area, he drew a pot and a spatula; in the washing area, he drew towels and soap; in the underwear area...ahem, and so on...
Walking in the huge supermarket, Rudy couldn't help but marvel. You must know that this was only 1990. Although it was not as big as Wal-Mart and Metro a few decades later, this supermarket was indeed worthy of its name now. 'Supermarket'.There are four floors in total. Each floor has corresponding security guards and service personnel, and all kinds of goods are available. You can even buy legal guns and ammunition in the firearms area on the fourth floor, which is outrageous.
There must be something wrong with this world!This is not a matter of legal gun ownership in Meijian... Wait... I remember that it was only in 1997 that the law was passed to prohibit private ownership of firearms...
In other words...as long as the money is available, theoretically, I can also hold a gun! ?
The more he thought about it, the more he was right. Rudy's eyes couldn't help but shine. You must know that besides supercars, a man's romance is Gundam!Of course, there is no Gundam in reality...so what are you waiting for!If there is no Gundam, then it must be firearms!
Holding the handrail and running all the way to the fourth floor, Rudy pushed a small cart and rushed into the gun store on the fourth floor under the astonished eyes of the security guards and several waitresses on the fourth floor.
In front of the counter, the clerk helplessly asked Rudy to find his parents quickly and stop running around alone. But who knew that instead of leaving, Rudy pointed at a silver pistol hanging on the wall with shining eyes? Ask him how much.
Good guy, you really want to buy it! ?
The corner of the clerk's mouth twitched, and he was about to throw the troublemaker out of the store.Who knows the next second, a large amount of banknotes with Queen Elizabeth's face slapped on the table of the counter. Rudy stared at the silver pistol hanging on the wall without looking back and asked again: "So, how much is it?" ?”
This time the clerk no longer reached out impatiently to grab Rudy, because out of the corner of his eye he saw a lot of banknotes on the table, and then... nothing more happened.
A few minutes later, when Rudy was satisfied, he put the silver pistol on his waist and strode out of the weapons store.In the store, the clerk was staring blankly at the pile of bills in the cashier.
He felt that he must be crazy, no, it should be said that the world must be crazy.
Just now, he sold a Beretta 1500F pistol to a child who looked definitely less than 92 years old for 15 pounds.God, if the government people knew, they would kill him.
...Wait a minute, the store isn’t mine anyway!So why am I here waiting for that kid to do something wrong and then those damn law enforcement officers come to arrest me?
The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became. Without saying a word, the clerk stuffed the large number of pounds that had just been stuffed into the cashier into his pocket. At the same time, he opened the boss's collection box and inserted the two Desert Eagles inside into his waistband. superior.After doing all this, he put on his baseball cap calmly and left towards the stairs downstairs.
In the corridor leading to the stairwell, which is less than ten meters long, the wooden floor under your feet will squeal in unison with every step you take.This inexplicable sense of terror suddenly made Rudy feel a little panicked. He was afraid of the unknown and didn't know what would be waiting for him in the next second.
