America 1881: They Call Me Legend

In the winter, New York, as always, has a lot of snow.

Chen Jianqiu sat in his luxurious box.

Although most of the railway companies in the United States are currently in deep business difficulties, they never treat their VIP customers badly.

This box is heated.

The windows are full of steam.

Chen Jianqiu's son was lying on the edge of the window sill, scratching and pulling on the window with his fingertips, and then watched the small water droplets come together and flow down into big water droplets, and then guessed which one reached the bottom of the window first.

"Father, where are we going?" Xiao Pengkun asked.

"New York." Chen Jianqiu replied, "Your uncle Astor wants to see you. He got married and gave birth to a daughter."

Originally, Chen Jianqiu did not intend to bring his wife and children with him on this trip to New York.

But little Astor got the news that Chen Jianqiu was coming to New York from somewhere, and a telegram came, saying that he wanted to see Xiao Pengkun.

As for why, Astor has not disclosed.

Chen Jianqiu had to bring Camilla and his son with him.

"Oh." Xiao Pengkun agreed, and continued to lie on the window sill and play with the water drops on the glass.

Camilla was wearing a red skirt and a fur coat, and curled up lazily in the corner of the seat.

"Xiao En is going to be the door-to-door son-in-law, who do you plan to ask to take care of our children when we arrive in New York?" the beautiful woman put her head in her hands, looked at Chen Jianqiu, and asked with a smile.

"Isn't there Li Sifu here?"

Chen Jianqiu looked out the window.

At this time, most of the water vapor on the window glass has been wiped off by the son, and the middle area has become clear.

The snow was flying like goose feathers, and there was nothing but whiteness outside.

"It's really impossible, let little Astor's house for a few days, anyway, he's fine all day long." Chen Jianqiu withdrew his gaze and looked at Camilla.

"Then he has to tear down his house!" Camilla rolled her eyes, "Forget it, I'll take him with me later, only I can clean him up, and no one else may be able to catch up."

Hearing what his mother said, Xiaopeng Kun shrank his neck suddenly.

Looking at the "benevolent" parents, the fear of being mixed doubles came to mind again.

The child lay obediently on his stomach without saying a word.

The train arrived at Brooklyn Station in New York the next afternoon.

Chen Jianqiu and Camilla got off the train with their luggage, and there were no servants behind them except Li Sifu.

This is in stark contrast to several other rich people who also got off the luxury car.

Not everyone's team is as simple as Chen Jianqiu's.

Most of them were hugging each other, and the attendants were very busy carrying suitcases and hand warmers.

Compared with the deluxe car, the ordinary car is a world apart.

People squeezed out of the crowded carriages like toothpaste, looming in the white steam of the train.

Chen Jianqiu noticed that an old woman in a headscarf was leading her grandson along the platform.

She bent her body and carried a bulging bag in her hand.

Her blue linen woven shoulders looked a little thin in the cold wind, which made her shiver from the cold.

"Hey Chen! What are you looking at? I'm here! I'm here!"

Just as Chen Jianqiu's attention was still on the platform, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

Chen Jianqiu turned his head and found little Astor standing in front of him.

He came up and gave Chen Jianqiu a big hug.

The New York landowner grew a mustache.

He wore a splendid woolen coat, of fine workmanship and material;

And the woman next to him was wearing a mink fur hat, and around her neck was a scarf woven from the fur of some kind of animal. She was furry all over her body. If she didn't know, she might have thought that some kind of mammal had crawled out of the forest. come out.

"This is my wife, Aiwa." Little Astor let go of Chen Jianqiu, pointed to the woman beside him and introduced to Chen Jianqiu.

"Where's your daughter?" Chen Jianqiu glanced behind them and found that there was no one else.

"It's too cold, and the child is too young, so I didn't bring it out, but the nanny brought it with me." Little Astor was talking, with a white breath coming out of his mouth.

He suddenly noticed the little pengkun in Camilla's hand, and immediately showed great interest.

Little Astor bent down, trying to touch Little Kunpeng's face.

"Don't..." Camilla was about to stop it, but Little Astor yelled.

Xiaopeng Kun pinched the fingers of his outstretched hand and moved his joints.

"It hurts, it hurts, loose," Little Astor screamed.

Xiaopengkun's reaction was subconscious, he quickly let go of his hand, but Chen Jianqiu had already lifted him up.

"This is your Uncle Astor, not a bad guy. You have to be polite." Chen Jianqiu said to his son slowly, his voice not angry but pretentious.

Although Chen Jianqiu is very busy and doesn't have much time to educate his son by his side, in Xiao Pengkun's mind, his father will always be the first person he fears.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Astor, I didn't mean to." Xiao Pengkun muttered.

"The tiger father has no dogs, the tiger father has no dogs" I don't know if it was the memory of the abuse that was activated at the beginning, or for some other reason, Astor was not angry, but just laughed.

He took out a golden brooch from his pocket and handed it to Xiaopengkun.

"This is a meeting gift for you." Little Astor said to him with a smile.

Xiao Pengkun looked at his parents, and after receiving Chen Jianqiu's nod of approval, he took the shiny golden brooch from Astor's hand.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion on the other side of the platform.

Several Italians wearing hats and black coats ran wildly carrying suitcases.

Behind them, the old woman that Chen Jianqiu saw just now was sitting on the ground, and her grandson was standing aside trembling.

"Stop them, they robbed my luggage!" The old woman shouted in despair.

However, no one came forward to stop them. It seemed that many people on the platform knew the identities of these Italians.

They all looked young, but their faces were fierce.

"People from the Five Points Gang, an Italian gang in Brooklyn." Astor looked at the Italians and frowned, "Why are these people robbing old women now?"

These Italians rushed all the way, running towards Chen Jianqiu's direction.

Because of the exit, behind Chen Jianqiu and the others.

The Italians were getting closer and closer.

One of them suddenly saw the outfits of Chen Jianqiu and Astor, as well as the suitcase in his hand, and his eyes lit up.

To rob one is to rob, to rob two is to rob.

There are many people around other rich people, but there are no people around these two people. If you don't do it now, let alone when.

He patted the other two people beside him.

The three quickly reached a consensus and ran towards Chen Jianqiu's direction.

They each had a knife in their hands.

"They're coming to snatch us, go!" Little Astor hastily tugged at Chen Jianqiu's sleeve.

But neither Chen Jianqiu, nor Camilla, nor even Xiaopengkun wanted to move.

It was only then that Little Astor realized who this was next to him.

He also grabbed his wife who was about to run away, and motioned her not to panic.

Those three Italians have come to Chen Jianqiu.

The well-dressed Chinese and his Latino beauty seemed to be frightened by their own aura, standing still.

They were just about to open their mouths to order the person in front of them to hand over their luggage.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jianqiu raised his foot.

With this kick, one of the Italians was kicked in the lower abdomen, kicking him flying, and fell heavily on the stone floor of the platform.

Camilla next to her also kicked her feet, but her movements were not large, but her kicks were more ruthless, and she kicked the other one firmly in the crotch. Next cool, take a step back.

I am afraid that this kick will kill off children and grandchildren.

The two Italians wailed on the ground in pain.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining one turned around and ran away.

Chen Jianqiu didn't chase after him, but quietly stood aside and waited for the arrival of the station police.

After a while, the police arrived late, tied up the two lying on the ground, and prepared to turn them over to the police station.

"Thank you very much for your brave actions!" The policeman saluted Chen Jianqiu and the others, "But you must pay attention to safety, these gangsters will hold grudges."

"If they hold grudges, let them go to the gallows!" A voice came from behind the policeman.

Chen Jianqiu and Little Astor turned their heads to look.

Theodore Roosevelt was smiling at them through his round glasses.
