Chapter 130 Artists

Go to the mirror and see how you look now.

He has black hair, a handsome face, and a short beard. He looks a little decadent. His eyes are deep but his eyes are bright. He looks at the mirror with his eyebrows raised, and he has a feeling of exposing his air. He is definitely a handsome Italian guy. .

He is about 1.9 meters tall, with a big skeleton but a little thin. Of course, this thinness is only relative, and he has not yet reached the appearance of being covered with ribs. He clenched his fists, and his strength is still his own.

According to the rules of the system, his time-travel is a physical body-travel, which only occupies his identity and memory. The body is still his own, but the shape will be changed according to the situation to facilitate better integration into this world.

In fact, Renato should feel fortunate. During this period, the Mafia was madly suppressed because it offended Mussolini. All the Mafia families were lost, and countless Mafia people were arrested and shot without interrogation.

This period was dark and bloody for the Mafia family.

Most of the Bernano family died, and their business and properties were also confiscated. Renato Bernano did not participate in the family business, but escaped the disaster. This was his luck, but the family accident also broke him. The source of income, the young painter's life is not easy now.

You must know that most of the art studies have no future. Many great artists became famous after death. They were poor and poor. Even if Renato Bernano thinks that his painting skills are good, people like him are very popular in Florence. All the same, with a shout in the tavern, seven or eight artists can stand up, and no one appreciates it at all.

Jiang Hao is not concerned about these now. His task is to protect Malena and make her happy. The first thing he has to do is to rush to Sicily and find Malena.

Florence is thousands of kilometers away from Sicily. He doesn't even have tolls to travel, and he also needs living expenses. The problem he needs to solve now is how to get some money.

work hard to make money,

That must be unrealistic, and time is too late.

Jiang Hao saw several newspapers on the table, went over to pick them up and looked at them, and found the latest issue, the date marked on it was April 5, 1941, and most of the contents of the newspapers were advocating how wise Mussolini was. Shenwu, how smooth the foreign war is, and what results have been achieved with allies.

This is Italy during World War II.

Jiang Hao can only say that Italy during World War II was a joke. He has read a lot of books on this subject. Italy as a whole can be described as funny, not in terms of military equipment and combat effectiveness, but some of their behaviors , sometimes surprising.

Forget it, it's none of his business.

History will not change, the Axis powers will fail, and he has no intention of helping Italy out of the quagmire. A few years later, Mussolini was tragically killed by the guerrillas. Some people even said that those guerrillas were Italian gangsters, because the two sides Has a blood feud.

Renato Bernano, who he is now, is a member of the Mafia family. Speaking of which, he also has a big hatred with Mussolini, and it is even more impossible to help him.

He knew the purpose of his coming here, to protect Malena, let her not be wronged, and let her live happily. This was his mission. As for Italy, let him die.

According to the current time, it has been several months since the war against Britain and France. In the movie, Malena's husband should not have died. She has not yet reached the most tragic moment. Jiang Hao still has time.

With memory, he found the only four banknotes and a few copper plates left in a drawer, and counted them, only forty-seven lire, which was all his assets now.

In the innermost part of another drawer, I found a small package and opened it to reveal a dark pistol inside. This is a Beretta M1934 pistol, a standard pistol of the Italian army. The shape of the tower M92F series is almost the same.

No matter how playful and fond of art he is, he is also from a gangster family.

Put the gun in his trouser pocket, put on his coat and head out the door, across two streets, to a shabby bar.

Open the door, the bar is not big, it is quite lively, seven or eight people are sitting and chatting, someone sees Jiang Hao coming in, and greets enthusiastically: "Hi, Renato, I didn't see you coming yesterday, yes It's not that I slept in some rich woman's bed again."

"Hahaha, look at his decadent appearance, as if his body was sucked dry, Renato, you met a female vampire count last night, right?"

Jiang Hao waved at them and went to the bar to ask for a glass of ale.

These guys around the bar during the day are a group of so-called artists. They are all down and out, and they have a meal, but they think about becoming the greatest artist all day long, but the place where they spend the most time is indeed the pub. .

Or a woman's bed.

"Boss, have another glass of wine."

a guy shouted.

The middle-aged fat boss with a big beard looked at the guy and said angrily, "You already owe dozens of lire, and I won't give it to you on credit."

"Oh, Pia, you're such a miser, maybe I'll get rich someday, and I'll pay it back in double."

"You're a ghost if you can make a fortune." The fat boss said, and still brought him a glass of ale.

The guy took it with a smile, "Thank you Pia, I will remember your friendship, in fact, when it comes to making a fortune, everything is going up in price now, my God, is this what the newspapers say about inflation, I feel Our country is over."

"No, we will win the war, and as long as we win, we can all be rich."

"I don't know if we can make a fortune, but there are people who are making a fortune in the war. I heard about a confectioner named Sergio. Before the war, he hoarded a lot of chocolate powder. After the war broke out, prices skyrocketed. That guy But I made a lot of money, and I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of liras." Another person gossips.

"Umberto, I suggest you go to his wife. As long as you have a good relationship with her wife, she will definitely give you enough money to live, and you can start your new painting again." Someone next to him patted and spoke just now. The man's shoulder said.

Umberto said with a dejected expression: "Oh, his wife is in her fifties."

"What does it matter, Valero has the most experience with old women, you can ask him for advice."

A guy in his forties smiled and said, "Actually, it's easy to deal with old women. They need more care. As long as you make them feel that she is the treasure in your heart, you will be generous."

Umberto spread his hands, "I have inquired, that guy basically doesn't go home, he often lives with his mistress, and he doesn't give much money to his wife."

"Then go get his mistress," someone suggested.

"I heard that his mistress is very young and beautiful. I don't have that confidence. If Renato makes a move, it may be possible." The guy said and looked at Jiang Hao.

"Yes, Renato is the youngest and the most handsome among us. Many women like him, but he is a rich boy. How can he go to women for money." Someone said sourly.

Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Umberto, give me the address of that woman, maybe I will try it when I have time. If it works, I will come back and invite you for a drink."

The crowd applauded in unison.
