Chapter 642: A River of Tears (Ask for Subscription)

This time, Lin Han is not ready to revise the cultural background of the novel, mainly because he cannot modify it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

If the story of "Rejuvenation" takes place in China, it is from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the beginning of the 21st century, what happened during this period is not clear to Lin Han, and the protagonist cannot be completely combined with these historical events!

If he had to do this, it would be a huge project, and what Lin Han lacked most now was time, so he simply used the background of the movie, so that the writing would be faster.

People in China may still believe in this foreign anecdote and treat it as a real story.

Anyway, it's a short story, and no one should scold it, so Lin Han found an excuse after weighing it, and he could only fool himself with his excuse!

Fitzgerald confessed that the inspiration for this work came from Mark Twain's sentiment that life always begins at its best and ends at its worst.

In fact, this stalk is not new in China, and all kinds of creativity have emerged in the online literature circle, even "Hyperion" is not the first, and before that, there is Samuel Butler's book "Notes".

But these books all treat rejuvenation as a gimmick, and Fitzgerald puts such a fantasy story of a time reversal in a specific context, which is even more shocking!

After deciding to write this short story, Lin Han recalled that the story, if summarized, was of course very simple, nothing more than the fantastical life of Benjamin Barton, the magical color novel of this retrograde time!

His time was the opposite of normal people, he was an old man of seventy or eighty years old when he was born, his mother died because of his difficult childbirth, and he was abandoned by his father as soon as he was born. A black couple working in a nursing home adopted him and gave him boundless love and wisdom.

From the First World War to the 21st century, with the passage of time, Benjamin became younger and younger, experienced the story of studying, getting married, and joining the army, spanning nearly a hundred years, and finally died quietly in the arms of his temperament in the state of a baby.

The contradictions of the legendary life of time and the vicissitudes of the world, the gentle sigh of life like a dream.

The story begins with the story of a watchmaker: during the First World War, his son went to join the army, but when the war ended in 1918, his son was killed in a foreign land. The watchmaker had made a wall clock at the train station, but the clock was upside down!

The watchmaker said that I did this on purpose, so that the children who died in the war might be able to go home, to farm, to work, to have children, and maybe my son would come back.

It so happened that this is how Benjamin Patton's life went backwards!

Benjamin's father was a successful button maker, but his beloved wife died in childbirth when he gave birth to Benjamin, and he abandoned the monster Benjamin in a nursing home, and lived alone for decades until he was about to die.

As for the adoptive mother, Queenie, is a perfect mother with a soft heart and a hard mouth, raising Benjamin, and Benjamin learned a lot from the old men and women in the nursing home.

Lin Han's mind was playing the plot of the movie, and his hands were flying on the keyboard, perfectly converting the image into words, and in more than three hours, a short story of more than 18,000 words was completed!

With the five-stroke input method, it can be written so quickly, and the speed is almost 6,000 words per hour, which is almost impossible for many handicapped parties.

After reviewing Benjamin Barton's life, Lin Han checked the words and sentences in the novel to see if there were any typos or inaccurate words. Bo Shang!

……

Chen Jiaxuan packed up her things and was about to get off work for dinner at noon, but the secretary Xiao Tu knocked on the door and came in excitedly and said, "Sister Xuan, Mr. Lin has just updated a novel called "Rejuvenation", take a look!"

As soon as she heard this name, Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but think of her favorite story in "Hyperion", isn't Rachel, the daughter in the scholar's story, rejuvenation?

From an adult girl to a baby, is this "Rejuvenation" novel telling the story of Rachel?

She put down her bag, then turned on the computer again, and said to her secretary: "Xiao Tu, you can order a sushi takeaway for me, the one I often eat." ā€

"Okay, I'll order it right away. Xiao Tu said as he exited the office and closed the door.

After speaking, Chen Jiaxuan quickly logged in to the micro. Bo page, find the novel that Lin Han just released, this 3-minute micro . The number of likes has reached 60,000, and there are relatively few comments, and probably no one has finished reading it.

She clicked on the long Weibo, and the first line of words came into view, but Chen Jiaxuan was disappointed!

"Isn't it outside of "Hyperion"?"

Although Chen Jiaxuan thought so, she still insisted on reading it, and the novel of "Rejuvenation" began with Daisy lying on the hospital bed, and in the hurricane hospital, Daisy's way of telling stories to her daughter began to gradually recall, and a man named Benjamin Barton officially appeared.

The old lady Daisy told the story of the watchmaker, and the wall clock that walked upside down left a deep impression on Chen Jiaxuan.

At first, Lin Han did not describe in detail what Benjamin Patton looked like when he was born, but only described his mother's instructions on the death of his mother and the reactions of his father and nurses.

There may be many people who are as curious as Chen Jiaxuan, what Benjamin looks like to make his father ruthlessly abandon him!

"My mother just died here, and my father abandoned him, what kind of person, it's so tragic!"

Even if they knew that Benjamin could grow up smoothly, there were still countless netizens who felt sorry for little Benjamin in their hearts and cursed the father who abandoned the child.

The story continues, and when Queenie, an employee at the nursing home, hears the child's crying voice, Benjamin has a positive portrayal, which according to Queenie is as ugly as an old jar.

"On the steps, there was an old man who looked to be seventy years old, tightly tucked into swaddling clothes. His hair was sparse, almost all white, and he had a gray beard growing on his chin, which was swaying gently under the strong wind outside. His face was wrinkled, and the skin on his body was extraordinarily loose, and he didn't even cry loudly!"

Chen Jiaxuan imagined the image of an aging baby like Benjamin, and she couldn't help but shudder, it was indeed scary.

Queenie can adopt such a child, which is completely worthy of everyone's admiration!

As time passed, Benjamin looked a year younger with each passing year, and although he was rickety and suffering from presbyopia, he met Daisy at the age of 12, who came to visit his grandmother.

The relationship line between these two people is also online at this time, the old man-like Benjamin and the lively and lovely Daisy, these two people are not on the same timeline at all!

Chen Jiaxuan was fascinated, and she couldn't help but whisper to herself: "Love is so wonderful, but how can it feel like a tragedy?"

Benjamin turned back the clock, getting younger and younger, looking like a middle-aged man in his fifties when he was 17 years old, and at this time he chose to become a tugboat sailor and had a relationship with a swimmer.

1945 was a critical day, not only because of the end of World War II, but also because the 26-year-old Benjamin returned to meet Daisy again, Daisy, who became a dancer at this time, did not get along with Benjamin very happily, until an accident happened, Daisy had a car accident and could no longer continue dancing, and the two of them were officially together and had their own daughter.

At this time, Benjamin's biological father also came to the door, and this old man had been silently watching Benjamin all along, and handed over all the inheritance to him.

Everything seems to be on track, but Chen Jiaxuan knows that things will not be so simple, Benjamin is getting younger and younger, while Daisy is getting older and older, when the young and handsome husband is with his old and decrepit wife, there will inevitably be a gap in his heart!

Because of all this, they keep missing out. When she was young, he was too old, and when he got younger, she was old! Fortunately, they met at the middle of their lives.

Benjamin finally chose to leave, and no one wanted to see his father younger than his daughter.

A line in the novel made countless netizens who watched the novel a little teary-eyed, Daisy said that nothing lasts forever, but Benjamin said: "I will never stop loving you"

As the saying goes, when Benjamin came back many years later, Daisy had a new husband. Benjamin was like a teenager at this time, and he had not heard from him after spending a night with Daisy!

It wasn't until after Daisy's husband died, that the nursing home called her to inform her that Benjamin had become a child and suffered from Alzheimer's, and Daisy decided to take care of Benjamin without hesitation until he left the world in her arms as a baby.

Chen Jiaxuan wiped the corners of her eyes, and then took out a tissue, this novel was so sad that it was suffocating from the beginning, and she could only praise her boyfriend by applying the idea of rejuvenation to this part!

The tears of netizens almost flowed down as if they didn't want money, especially some female readers, they were deeply moved by this love, some things have always existed, that is, love!

After reading this novel, it is like going through a life, meeting many people, seeing many landscapes, having unforgettable love, having warm family affection, and finally going to death.

"Honey, do you like this novel?"

After Chen Jiaxuan saw the text message on her mobile phone, she knew that this was a little surprise given to her by Lin Han, and the little sadness generated by reading the novel before disappeared, and the whole person burst into tears!
