Chapter 1 Storytelling
Danzhou Port is located in the east of Qingguo, although it is close to the sea, but because several ports in the south have been built recently, and the expected sea route to the west has already been connected, the country's trade center of gravity has moved to the south. The port is gradually declining, and the once bustling port has become quiet a few years ago.
The seagulls flew freely, and there were no more hateful sailors to harass them.
The residents who originally lived in Danzhou Port did not feel that their lives had changed much, although their income had decreased, but His Majesty the Emperor had already exempted the tax here for a few years, so life was okay, and this harbor was very beautiful, and now it has become quiet, and it is naturally more suitable for people to live.
So occasionally some big people will choose to build a manor here.
However, due to the distance from Kyoto, there are not many officials who really stay, and the one who can barely be counted as the old lady in the courtyard in the west of the city.
I heard that the old lady is the mother of Count Sinan in the capital, and chose to come here to retire. The residents of the city all knew that Count Sinan seemed to be very appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, and had not been sent according to the law, but stayed in the treasury of the capital to work, so most of them showed enough politeness and awe to that courtyard.
But children don't understand that.
It was a beautiful day, and the adults sat in the tavern to enjoy the saltiness and humidity of the sea breeze, the salted plums and the drinks in the glasses.
There were also a bunch of teenagers who were gathered outside the stone steps of the back door of the Earl Beppu in the west of the city, densely packed, not knowing what they were doing.
Looking closer, it turned out to be a very interesting scene, it turned out that these teenagers were listening to a child who was only four or five years old.
The little boy is very beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows and clear eyes, but his voice is still milky, but the tone of his voice is old-fashioned.
I only heard him sigh, and his little arm gestured: "It is said that Truman walked to the wall and found that there was a ladder there, so he walked up step by step and found the door, so he pushed the door and went out......"
"And then?"
"And then? and then...... Naturally, it is to return to the world. The little boy pouted, as if he was impatient that the teenagers next to him who were older than him would ask such a retarded question.
"Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you go and ...... that or something?"
"Hani died. Another teenager answered.
"yes, isn't Truman going to beat that Hani to death and get angry? ”
The little boy shrugged his shoulders: "No." ”
"Hey, it's really boring, Young Master Fan Xian, today's story is not as good as the story of the other day. ”
"And what do you like to hear?"
"Ethereal Tour. ”
"The Tale of Grace. ”
"Huh!" The little boy named Fan Xian gestured to the children who were older than him around him, "It's not healthy to fight and kill, and it's not environmentally friendly to dig treasures around!"
An extremely angry voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "Young Master, where have you been again?"
The children in a circle also had a middle finger compared to him, but there were more people, so it looked much more spectacular, and they said in unison, "Huh!" and then laughed and dispersed.
The little boy named Fan Xian stood up from the stone steps, patted the dust on his buttocks, and ran into the courtyard as soon as he turned his head, but before closing the door, his clever eyes glanced at the young blind boss in the grocery store opposite, and his face showed complicated emotions that were completely inconsistent with his age, and then gently closed the wooden door.
―――――――――――――――――――――――
This is Fan Shen's fourth year in this world. Over the years, he finally realized that he was not dreaming, he had really come to an unknown world, which seemed to be the same as the world in his memory, but it seemed to be very different.
By eavesdropping on the people in Earl Beppu, he finally understood his identity, and it turned out that he was the illegitimate son of Count Sinan of Kyoto.
Just like the general rich family grudge drama, the identity of an illegitimate child is easy to be poisoned by the eldest aunt, the second aunt and the like, and his cheap father seems to have only one son, in order to continue the blood of the earl, so he was sent to Danzhou Port, which is very far away from Kyoto.
Over the years, he gradually got used to his identity. Although it is said that the soul of an adult is trapped in the body of a young child, whether it is physical or psychological, it has to go through a completely different experience, if it is replaced by a normal person, I am afraid that it will go crazy - but it is very coincidental that Fan Shen was a myasthenia gravis patient in his previous life, and he has been lying in the hospital bed for many years, and now he is only a little immobile, and compared with the miserable situation in his previous life, it is nothing, so he is now living in this child's body, and there is not too much discomfort.
The most uncomfortable thing is actually the current name, when he was one year old, the Earl of Kyoto sent a letter, taking his name as: Fan Xian, the word Anzhi.
It's a bad name, and it sounds a lot like the swear words in his hometown - "guilty".
But he was only a child on the outside, so it was impossible to object in words.
In his previous life, when he was in the hospital, he could still twist his head in the early stage, so he often begged the cute little nurse to buy him some pirated DVDs and books to watch.
has lived in the Earl's Mansion for a long time, although the old lady is cold and warm-hearted outside, and loves herself very much in her bones, and the maids in the mansion do not look at her differently because of her identity as an illegitimate child, but the pain of having nowhere to communicate with others still makes him a little unhappy.
Can you tell Yahuan that you are from another world? Can you tell Mr. Teacher that he can actually recognize all the words in this book?
So he often sneaked out of the side door of the Earl's Court and played with the children of the commoners on the street, more telling them stories, about the movies and novels in his own world.
It seems that he wants to use this to remind himself of something, to remind himself that he is not a person who does not belong to this world, and that there are movies, the Internet, and YY novels in his world.
To this day, for some reason, he tells about Truman's world in this movie. The plot of this movie is a bit wooden, and there is no Jim Carrey to be cute there, so he should know very well that it is impossible for these Danzhou Port teenagers to like it at all.
But he spoke anyway.
Because he always has a sense of absurdity in his heart, why would he suddenly be reborn in this body when he is obviously a person who is about to die? I can't help but think of that movie...... Perhaps, these people in front of you, these streets, and these seagulls flying in the sky, were all arranged by people?
Just like Truman.
Truman finally discovered the falsehood of his existence in the world, so he resolutely took a boat and found the exit.
But Fan Shen, no, it should be Fan Xian...... Knowing that he is not Truman, this world is indeed real, and it is not a big studio.
So he found himself telling stories every day to remind him that he was from another world, which in itself was a ridiculous act.
