Chapter 1 Foreign languages are too difficult to learn
Lin Xia woke up, feeling dizzy, and wanted to try to stand up, but felt that his whole body was soft and couldn't exert his strength. Every time I tried to stand up, the place where I was lying would shake a little, and I was tied to the boat.
Lin Xia recalled the scene before he fainted, and only remembered that as the core of the gang, he was accompanying his boss to negotiate with the other party. Because of the disagreement in the negotiations, there was a shootout between the two sides, and I lost consciousness after I didn't know who I was hit, and I woke up and lay here.
Lin Xia heard the footsteps of someone walking over, thinking that it was the person who kidnapped him, so he wanted to show his tenacity and unyielding, and opened his mouth to scold.
But in one mouth, the scolding words turned into a wow-wow-wow-cry, and Lin Xia was suddenly frightened by his own cry.
As soon as the cry started, the face of a middle-aged foreign man appeared in front of him, his eyes were full of pity, and he said a lot of words to himself that he didn't understand, and hugged himself as he spoke. The foreign middle-aged man picked up Lin Xia's hand again and shook it lightly in front of Lin Xia's eyes, and said something to Lin Xia in a gentle tone.
Lin Xia watched his hand become only the size of a matchbox, and followed the direction to see the place where he was lying just now, he originally thought it was a boat, but this turned out to be a cradle. Lin Xia only felt that his eyes were black and fainted.
When Lin Xia woke up again, he looked at the ceiling above his head and slowly accepted the fact that he had become a child.
"But what the hell is this? Why are there foreigners? I can't understand what this foreigner is saying. Lin Xia said in his heart.
The words spoken by this middle-aged foreign man sounded a bit like the pronunciation of English, but Lin Xia was not sure if it was English.
Lin Xia, as a scumbag who wants to mix the rivers and lakes, basically didn't score more than 20 points in English when he went to school, and the score of less than 20 still depends on the proportion of multiple-choice questions in the test paper. It makes no difference to him whether a middle-aged foreigner speaks English or not.
As Lin Xia grew up and his body slowly developed, his speech was no longer crying, and he could understand some words, but Lin Xia was a little self-defeating, and he could understand a little bit, and he didn't bother to say it. Every day, I sat in the courtyard facing the sky, scolded the thief God in Huaxia for a while, and said to myself for a while: "I am about to make a career out of my ambitions, how can I come to such a place without dying." ”
With the passage of time, Lin Xia has known that the current continent is called Charlemagne Continent, and there is only one country on the continent, the Charlemagne Empire named after the continent. More than 200 years ago, it was the Warring States period when more than a dozen countries coexisted.
Alexander I, also known as the founding emperor of Charlemagne's empire, Paul Alexander and his legendary partner Don Sealand "King the Lionheart" spent thirteen years unifying the continent and establishing the Charlemagne Empire. His family is a descendant of the legendary "Lionheart" Don Sealand.
And the first person Lin Xia saw when he came to this world, the middle-aged foreigner was his father, Antonio Sealand, who had the title of a viscount, but did not have any official position.
Lin Xia's arrival broke Antonio's heart, other people's children could already do simple conversations when they were two years old, but Lin Xia still couldn't speak normally at the age of four. Although it is no longer a school term for "da-da-da" or "ya-ya-ya", it is all spoken with inexplicable pronunciation, as if it were another language.
Because of Lin Xia's inability to speak, Antonio took out more than half of his family's already modest savings and invited a bishop of the Holy See of Light to come over to check whether Lin Xia had fallen into an evil spirit, but of course there was no result after the inspection.
Another headache for Antonio is that this son seems to like to be in a daze, and when he has nothing to do, he sits in the yard while watching the sky, while muttering to himself in a language that no one understands, and often sits all day. Because I can't speak normally, I don't know if it's possible to be an idiot in addition to being dumb.
After Lin Xia came to this world, he stayed in the Viscount's Mansion every day and never went out, even if Viscount Antonio forcibly took Lin Xia out, Lin Xia either pretended to faint, or sat and played tricks, anyway, he just didn't go out.
These three questions brought Lin Xia the three labels of "idiot", "dumb", and "autistic", and Lin Xia's three labels quickly spread in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, and became a topic of conversation among the nobles after dinner.
Fortunately, except for the three problems of Lin Xia not being able to speak, watching the sky, and not going out, it seems normal in other aspects, and he can barely communicate with familiar servants through gestures.
In addition, Lin Xia was very interested in knives due to his occupation in his previous life, and collected all kinds of knives in the room, ranging from fruit knives and kitchen knives to various machetes and mountain knives.
Antonio was worried that Lin Xia was too small and easy to get injured when playing with knives, so he once forbade Lin Xia to approach any knives in the house, but Lin Xia didn't know how to do it, but he still collected a lot of knives to the room. This made Antonio suspect that Lin Xia had violent tendencies.
In this way, in addition to "idiot", "mute", and "autistic", Lin Xia added another label of "violent tendency".
Antonio tried all kinds of ways, but in the end, he could only pray to the heavens every day, hoping that a miracle would happen and make Lin Xia a normal child.
The miracle happened when Lin Xia was four years old, and on this day the wife of the housekeeper Burton became seriously ill, and Burton's four-year-old son, Sean, had no one to take care of him. So Antonio agreed to ask Burton to take Sean to the Viscount's Mansion and let the servants who served Lin Xia take care of Sean together.
In this way, our great King Lin Xia and Lin Xia's most loyal knight Sean met in this way, but the process of this encounter is not recorded in the history books. When the historian wrote the history book, he thought that this encounter was of great historical significance, but it was still deleted by the great King Lin Xia very scoundrelly.
When Sean was taken to the Viscount's Mansion for the first time, he looked very nervous, keeping his head down and his face still a little red, which was extremely incommensurate with the strong figure he inherited from Burton.
Lin Xia has never been out of the Viscount's Mansion since he came to this world, and he has never seen children of the same age, so he has become interested in Sean. Pinching Sean's arms, which were thin but stronger than children of the same age, he thought for a moment and pulled Sean to his room.
Lin Xia pointed to a mountain knife from the various knives he had collected, looked at Sean, and asked Sean to hold it.
Sean seemed to understand what Lin Xia meant, and looked a little nervous and scared, after all, how could a four-year-old child have seen so many knives. But before coming, my father told me to listen to the young master, and although I was a little scared, I still reached out and took the handle of the knife to lift it. This mountain knife weighs more than a dozen pounds, and a four-year-old child will fall if he can hold it.
Lin Xia was in front of Sean, seeing that Sean was about to fall, and hurriedly reached out to pull Sean's clothes. But at this time, Sean was already crumbling because of the weight of the knife, and after Lin Xia's pull, Sean immediately couldn't keep his balance, so Sean lay on the ground, and Lin Xia became Sean's meat pad.
Burton was frightened when he saw the two of them fall with knives, and his son was still pressed on the young master's body, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Sean up.
looked at Lin Xia nervously, and then looked at Sean, making sure that the two were not injured, and breathed a sigh of relief. I saw Lin Xia quickly get up and squat on the ground, his left hand covering his right hand, his face was flushed, and at the same time he shouted: "It hurts me, it hurts me......" When the two fell, the handle of the knife was just pressed on Lin Xia's fingers, and with Sean's weight, Lin Xia's fingers were pressed purple.
Burton heard Lin Xia shouting: "It hurts me to death", the expression on his face changed from worry to surprise to incredible change, and said to Lin Xia with a slight tremble: "Young master, have you spoken?"
Lin Xia patronized the pain here, ignored Burton, and still bent over: "It hurts me to death......"
Although Burton didn't get Lin Xia's reply, he confirmed that Lin Xia was saying "normal things", and he didn't care if Lin Xia ignored him, and seeing that his son was not injured, he hurriedly ran to call Antonio over. He was so excited that he even forgot to go to the doctor to show Lin Xia his hands.
Antonio heard his son speak, and hurriedly trotted over, his face full of excitement, looking at Lin Xia still squatting on the ground, shouting "It hurts me", and trembling slightly: "Lin Xia, can you speak?"
Lin Xia was still squatting and holding the fingers of his right hand with his left hand, and replied angrily: "Foreign languages are too difficult to learn, if you don't say it earlier, it will hurt me to death......"
Antonio listened to Lin Xia's answer, a little inexplicable, what foreign language, the language has long been unified after the unification of the empire, how can there be a foreign language, could it be that the foreign language spoken is grassland language, but it is not like it.
Fortunately, after confirming that Lin Xia really could speak, he quickly asked Burton to find a doctor to show Lin Xia's hand, and after the doctor saw it, he made sure that Lin Xia's hand was fine, and there would be no sequelae, so he only prescribed some painkillers and left.
Antonio pulled Lin Xia to speak every day with a worried heart, Lin Xia was still a little slow to respond, but as a Chinese, Lin Xia's pronunciation of Charlemagne seemed a little weird, and even the order of words in the sentence was occasionally wrong, but it could be regarded as being able to speak normally, and Antonio's worried heart finally let go.
Although Lin Xia spoke, Antonio felt that Lin Xia still had some mental problems, and originally named him Lin Xilan, Lin had the meaning of stability and calm in Charlemagne's continent, but was opposed by Lin Xia, who had just "spoken", and insisted that his name was Lin Xia, which made Antonio a little inexplicable. Of course, Lin Xia would not tell Antonio that Lin Xia was his name in his previous life.
After half a month, no matter what method Antonio used, Lin Xia still stubbornly did not call Lin Xilan, but only called himself Lin Xia. In the end, the two men compromised with each other and finally settled on the name Linxia Sealand.
Antonio thinks that Lin Xiazhi's ability to speak is due to Sean's credit. Arrange for Burton to take the whole family to live in the Viscount's Mansion, and let Sean wait for Lin Xia.
After two years of peace in this way, on Lin Xia's sixth birthday, Antonio turned his old look of pity, called Lin Xia to the study with a serious face, and said to Lin Xia: "You are six years old today, and you need to know some family things." ”
Lin Xia didn't speak, just waited quietly for Antonio to continue.
