Chapter 131: The Artist

Go to the mirror and see what you look like now.

has black hair, a very handsome face, a slightly short beard, looks a little decadent, the eye sockets are very deep but the eyes are very bright, staring at the mirror, there is a feeling of being overly exposed, definitely a handsome Italian guy.

is about 1.9 meters tall, the skeleton is very large but a little thin, of course, this thinness is only relative, not yet full of ribs, clenched his fists, and his strength is still his own.

According to the rules of the system, his crossing is a physical crossing, occupying only identity and memory, and the body is still his own, but the appearance will change according to the situation, so as to facilitate better integration into this world.

In fact, Renato should feel fortunate that during this period, the mafia was frantically suppressed because it offended Mussolini, all 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 Bernarno family was hanged, and the business and property were also confiscated, and Renato Bernano did not participate in the family business, but escaped the catastrophe, which was his luck, but the family accident also cut off his financial resources, and the young painter's life is not easy now.

You know, most of the art is not promising, many great artists, they only became famous after death, and they were poor during their lifetime, even if Renato Bernano thinks that his painting skills are good, but people like him abound in Florence, shouting in the tavern, can stand up seven or eight artists, no one appreciates it at all.

Jiang Hao doesn't care about these now, his task is to protect Marlena and make her happy, and the first thing he has to do is to rush to Sicily and find Marlena.

Florence is thousands of kilometers from Sicily, and now he doesn't even have money to travel, and he also needs to live on it, and the problem he needs to solve now is how to get some money.

hard-earned money,

That would certainly be unrealistic, and there would be no time.

Jiang Hao saw a few newspapers on the table, walked over to pick them up and looked through them, and found that the latest issue, marked on April 5, 1941, most of the contents of the newspapers were advocating how wise Mussolini was, how well the foreign war was going well, and what results he had achieved with his allies.

This was Italy during World War II.

Jiang Hao can only say that Italy in World War II is a joke, he has read a lot of books on this subject, Italy as a whole can be described as a comic, not about the army's equipment and combat effectiveness, but some of their behavior, sometimes unbelievable.

Forget it, these are none of his business,

History will not change, the Axis will fail, he did not think about helping Italy out of the quagmire, a few years later Mussolini died tragically at the gunpoint of the partisans, and some people even say that those partisans are Italian gangsters, because the two sides have a deep blood feud.

Renato Bernano, who is in his current capacity, is a member of the mafia family, and he also has a big grudge against Mussolini, and it is impossible to help him.

He knows the purpose of his coming here, to protect Marlena, let her not be wronged, let her live happily, this is his task, as for Italy, let him die.

If calculated according to the current time, it has been a few months since the war against Britain and France, in the movie, Marlena's husband should not be dead, she has not yet reached the most tragic moment, Jiang Hao still has time.

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

In the innermost part of another drawer, I found a small package, and when I opened it, I revealed a dark pistol inside, which was a Beretta M1934 pistol, the standard pistol of the Italian army, which was installed in large numbers by the army, and the appearance of the later Beretta M92F series was almost the same.

Even if he likes art no matter how much he likes, he is also from a gangster family, and he didn't play with guns less when he was a child, and he still brought a gun to defend himself when he came out.

Putting the gun in his trouser pocket, he put on his coat and went out the door, crossing two streets to a somewhat shabby bar.

Pushing open the door, the bar is not big, it is quite lively, there are seven or eight people sitting together chatting, someone saw Jiang Hao come in, and greeted warmly: "Hi, Renato, I didn't see you come over yesterday, did you sleep in a rich woman's bed again." ”

"Hahaha, look at his decadent appearance, as if he has been sucked dry, Renato, it won't be the female vampire count you met last night."

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

These guys gathered around the bar in broad daylight are a group of so-called artists, all of them are poor, they have not eaten a meal, but they want to be the greatest artists all day long, but the place where they spend the most time is indeed the tavern.

Or a woman's bed.

"Boss, another glass of wine."

One guy shouted.

The middle-aged fat boss with a big beard looked at the guy and said angrily: "You already owe dozens of lira, 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 back twice as much."

"You can get rich before you have a ghost." The fat boss said, and still took 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 newspaper says about inflation, I feel like our country is going to end." ”

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

"I don't know if we can get rich, but there are already people making war money, I heard that a candy merchant named Sergio, before the war, hoarded a lot of chocolate powder, after the war broke out, prices skyrocketed, that guy made a lot of money, I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of lira." Another person gossiped.

"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." A person next to him patted the shoulder of the person who had just spoken.

Umberto looked dejected and said, "Oh, his wife is in her fifties. ”

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

A guy in his forties next to him said with a smile: "Actually, it's easy to deal with old women, they need more care, as long as they feel that she is the treasure in your heart, they will be very generous." ”

"I've inquired, the guy basically doesn't go home, he often lives with his mistress, and he doesn't give much money to his wife. ”

"Then go soak his mistress." Someone suggested.

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

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

The corners of Jiang Hao's mouth hooked up a smile, and said: "Umberto, give me the address of that woman, maybe I'll try it when I have time, and if it succeeds, I'll come back and invite you to have a drink." ”

The crowd applauded in unison.
