Chapter 1544 Selling Matches

In the big forest, a kingdom of stories quietly appeared.

In the kingdom of stories, countless stories are staged every day.

Some stories are comedies, some stories are tragedies, and some stories are...

The protagonists in the story kingdom most often appear as Cinderella, prince, princess, queen, king, guards...

Strangers often come in, either as dwarfs, crows, or poisonous snakes...

"No, no, Lao Han, these stories of yours are too cliche and not exciting!" Xiao Huan was hopping on a big tree.

"What's wrong? I think it's very educational. Cinderella was picked on by the king and queen because of her living habits. Two years after her marriage, she had many conflicts with the prince, gave birth to a child, and was eventually kicked out of the palace... This shows that you need to be a good person.

Keep your feet on the ground and improve yourself instead of hoping to jump into the dragon gate." Dashu said seriously.

"The story just needs to be interesting, so what's the educational significance?" Xiao Huan hung on the branch of the big tree, swinging back and forth.

"I didn't write these stories just to make them look good. Didn't the teacher think about how good they would look when he made those scenes?" Dashu said seriously.

"He didn't think about looking good because it was real enough for you to live in it and accept the beatings from society in the name of it. Fortunately, I am strong, otherwise I would have been beaten crooked by him." Xiao Huan said angrily.

"Isn't my story kingdom real? I try my best to be close to reality." Dashu said unconvinced.

"Look at your story about the king and the guard. The guard was chosen by the king because of his bravery and honesty. He was allowed to marry the princess and the kingdom was given to him. Which king of a real kingdom would be so stupid as to give his kingdom to his son-in-law?

Huh?" Xiao Huan said contemptuously.

"Yes, you just don't like studying," Dashu said with disdain, "There was a man named Guo Wei in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, so he gave the throne to his son-in-law Chai Rong."

"You didn't learn well. Chai Rong is Guo Wei's wife's maternal nephew. There is no blood relationship, but the adopted son was raised as a child and is as close as his own son!" Xiao Huan shouted.

"Uh, did I remember it wrong? My extraordinary memory cannot be wrong, right?" Dashu was a little ashamed.

"Of course you remember it wrong, this is what Lao Wen said in his dreams." Xiao Huan vowed.

"As expected, I know that I remembered correctly. There will definitely be some adaptations to the words that the teacher said in his dream." Dashu said assuredly, "In short, I was not wrong. It is true that the king gave the kingdom to his son-in-law."

"Too fake!"

One big and one small quarreled endlessly.

…………

The kingdom of stories continues to move.

On this day, the one-eyed pirate was patrolling in the wild and found a path. As he walked, he entered the story kingdom.

This is a prosperous big city.

They are having a grand festival.

Snowflakes decorated the city, and candles lit up the windows.

People were well dressed and talked elegantly, sitting in the shop and eating roast goose.

The one-eyed pirate looked around, very surprised.

Only then did he realize that there was such a good thing in the world...

Wait, that's not good at all.

He saw a little girl with blond hair in ragged clothes.

The other party was carrying a lot of small wooden sticks in the apron around his waist, and was wearing a pair of large shoes that obviously didn't fit his feet.

What are those little wooden sticks used for?

He didn't know, he only knew that there was a four-wheeled, horse-drawn cart rushing towards the little girl.

The little girl was so frightened that she turned and ran away.

One of the shoes fell off and was snatched away by a naughty little boy.

"I can use it as a cradle for my future children!" the little boy said mockingly to the little girl.

The little girl had no choice but to walk with one foot bare.

"This is so abominable!" the one-eyed pirate said subconsciously.

Although he is a pirate, he is very friendly to his own people - as long as there is enough food.

No one will bully others.

Because the entire tribe is struggling to survive, and everyone who can move has to work. If you bully others, if others feel resentful and retaliate, the entire tribe may be destroyed.

Then he realized something, ran to the little girl, tore open his deerskin coat, put it on the little girl's feet, and wrapped it with the hemp rope he brought with him.

During the whole process, the little girl just stared at him blankly.

valley

"Are you sent from heaven by my grandma?" the little girl asked with her eyes wide open.

Her face, which was red from the cold, exhaled pieces of mist as she spoke.

"Yes." The one-eyed pirate smiled, as if he saw his two daughters starved to death. He untied his leather coat and put it on the other party.

He suddenly felt real recognition in his heart.

That big forest that seems hurried and weird is actually a world that only exists in the sky.

"I want to see my grandma, I hope she can take me to heaven." The little girl pulled on her apron and begged.

"I'll take you to dinner first." The one-eyed pirate nodded.

"Okay, let's go eat..."

The little girl's eyes showed longing, and she couldn't help but look at the roast goose in the window in the distance.

The one-eyed pirate took the little girl into a restaurant, but was stopped.

He took out the shell and was laughed at by the clerk until he took out a fist-sized golden stone from the bag on his waist.

This very heavy stone was given to him by a friend in the market, asking him to make a beautiful collar for his wife.

"Gold nugget!" The clerk knocked on the golden stone, held it up and weighed it a few times, then his eyes widened and he couldn't help shouting.

Nugget gold, a natural gold nugget, is a symbol of primitive wealth.

Many people looked over immediately.

Among them are guests, bosses, and waiters.

"Gold nugget? Where is it?"

"In the hands of a barbarian!"

"Oh, Barbarian, is he from Africa or India?"

"No, they look like Vikings from the north."

"It seems to be passed down from his ancestors."

Everyone was talking a lot.

"Distinguished guests, come in quickly." The shop owner hurriedly welcomed the two people in and sent them to the best private room on the second floor.

Here you can see the most beautiful night view of the entire city.

The little girl stayed in the box with the fireplace, feeling warm all over, like being in grandma's arms.

"I must have reached heaven!" she said.

Then a golden roast goose appeared in front of me.

"Eat, eat, you will be in the sky." The one-eyed pirate understood the little girl's thoughts very well.

He remembered that when he was the hungriest and coldest, a woman from the tribe fed him with her warm embrace and pine nuts picked in autumn.

After the woman died, he was the only one who did not eat her body. He chose to bury the remaining bones in the sea.

Because he is smart enough to think that this is wrong.

Thinking back to the past days, the present days, and the little girl in front of him, he realized how ridiculous his previous idea of ​​​​being in a camp was.

If he relies on his cleverness to exploit the loopholes in the forest, the forest will collapse and the world will no longer have such a paradise.

His intelligence should be used to maintain that paradise, not destroy it.

If he hadn't seen this little girl eating the roast goose desperately, he wouldn't have thought of this. He would have just continued to work hard, becoming a sacrifice, a high priest, and then embarked on the path of an ambitious man.

But now, he has awakened.

His dirty and invisible thoughts were purified in front of this pure, pitiful, humble little girl.

Unless you are a heartless person, it is difficult not to be touched by a girl who sells matches in the cold weather on New Year's Eve.

Yes, the one-eyed pirate understood that the small wooden stick is called a match, and it is a convenient tool for making fire.

It is much more convenient than using fire pits to store fire.
