[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] The Uncrowned King

It was still daylight, and Samuel was awake.He has long been used to getting up at this point to clean the small yard, drive the chickens for a walk in the yard (this will help them lay eggs), water the vegetables in the small vegetable garden, and so on.But today he just opened his eyes and didn't rush to get up and work.

He was tired and didn't get enough sleep.In fact, he sleeps enough time every day, because there is no electricity here, and burning candles is too expensive, so people here will go to bed early and wake up at dawn, so they can sleep for a long time, but Samuel Still don't feel like it's enough.

Of course not enough, there is no comfortable bed, no comfortable sitting posture, and no peaceful state of mind - he still feels a dull pain in his back now, and when he moves a little, he feels that the coarse cloth is rubbing against the scar on his back. It hurts.After sitting for a while, Samuel felt that his whole body was very stiff. Last night he fell asleep in a sitting position while talking, and now he felt that his body was numb.

Moreover, it seems that there is an extra strange weight?Samuel lowered his head slowly, just in time to meet the hen who was also looking up at him.Ah, yes, I still hold it before going to bed!Samuel put it down, but he still felt that there was some weight on his legs. He looked down and found that it was an egg-shaped object.Egg!Has this melancholic hen with only western style laid eggs?

Samuel was ecstatic, not just because he could escape Mrs. Bentham's punishment, but also because he had developed feelings for the chicken.It's funny to talk about developing feelings for a chicken, but Samuel really thinks that's it.Firstly, this is a clean chicken, like the other chickens that are always rolling in the feed and pooping everywhere, he has no feelings, but this chicken has a special place for defecation; secondly, , he spent a lot of effort to cure its depression, singing, talking and so on. Now that he sees it laying eggs, he naturally feels that his efforts have paid off. There is also a kind of "misogyny" The eerie sense of relief that my daughter is finally married".

However, the weight and color of this egg seem to be different?Samuel picked it up carefully and looked at the meager sunrise, but was stunned by the golden color: this is a golden egg!A very heavy golden egg!Samuel took a closer look, and he didn't smell the smell of chicken, nor did it feel as warm as when it just came out from under the buttocks of the chicken, nor did it have the kind of thing that is usually stained with eggs, although he thought Shocked, I didn't dare to try it, but I was sure in my heart that this is a golden egg.

Even with such a simple identification, such a strange thing still reminded Samuel of a fairy tale he heard when he was a child, a story about a hen who laid golden eggs.This is the hen. He looked at the hen with complicated eyes, who seemed to be looking back at him with a little pride. He felt that this was not the same as the plot in the story, but since he could be trafficked in the fairy tale world, then So what if the chicken was bought by him, an extra person?

However, this must be a soft-hearted hen, so after he confides for a long time, he will lay a golden egg for him, or maybe in the fairy tale, it was the golden egg that was laid in the Bentham family's weeping poverty.But, but...

Samuel picked up the golden egg and quickly looked for a place to hide it.He couldn't let the Benthams find out, or the hen would just die of their greed and be ripped open to find the secret of laying golden eggs that didn't exist.Samuel looked around nervously, then he pushed open the pile of feed, dug down again, hid the golden eggs, then picked up the hen and whispered to it:

"Stop laying golden eggs, you will only bring disaster on yourself! I don't need it, you just need to lay ordinary eggs!"

Samuel felt that the hen should be able to understand what he said, otherwise it would not respond to him.Now, he hopes that the hen can understand what he says, just as if he really has feelings for it, even though Samuel knows that if the Bentham family has a lot of gold, maybe the conditions for him will be better Some, but not at the cost of it dying.

Also, Samuel wasn't so naive anymore.According to the urine nature of this fairy tale world, Samuel would not believe that others would not suspect the reason why the Bentham family suddenly had a lot of gold, would not believe that this hen would be able to stay here alone, and would not believe that in In this way, after human greed and robbery, he himself will not be involved in it, and then he will be a dead ghost.

"So, just be an ordinary hen and lay ordinary eggs." He repeated.

"Then what do you want?"

A voice suddenly sounded in Samuel's head, soft and tender, like a little girl's voice.Samuel didn't look around, but immediately looked at the hen, and tried to talk to it in his heart:

"is it you?"

"It's me. So what do you want?"

It really is it.If it was at the very beginning, Samuel would have met a hen that lays golden eggs when he first came to this world, he would have been ecstatic, thinking that this was his golden finger, a veritable "golden" finger.However, he has lost this excitement now. He has long decided that if it is possible, there is a little chance that he can go back, and he will never read that kind of novel full of fantasy. Now, he only thinks, an underdog The chicken with the golden egg can't help him out of his current predicament.

Even so, Samuel also asked tentatively in his heart:

"Then what can you give me?"

"I don't know either. It depends on what you want."

This sentence has a lot of meaning, Samuel didn’t ask the question in a hurry, but thought in his heart, the hen’s tone is very loud, as if he can do anything, but the speaking skills are also in it, the hen seems to be By knowing what the questioner wants and then giving feedback, but not everything can be done, and the golden egg was laid today, it should be because of what Samuel said yesterday, there is only an egg to sell for money , it doesn't mean to let it be killed, and the golden egg is the result of the hen's self-understanding.

So, besides the golden egg, can other eggs be laid?Now Samuel finally became excited.If he says to the hen that he wants to go home, to his real home, the home on the top of the earth, can the hen do it?

"I can not."

Before he wanted to accuse the hen of eavesdropping on his thoughts, Samuel was startled, and asked involuntarily:

"why!"

"Because I don't understand what you're saying."

The voice of the hen is still the voice of a little girl, but it speaks word by word, very stiff, it is the feeling of local people who pronounce it after learning Mandarin for the first time, and it does not have the feeling of a real little girl who always speaks unconsciously and coquettishly.Disappointment, despair, heavy pressure on Samuel, he was momentarily stunned.

The hen said that she couldn't understand what he was saying, because what he wanted was too abstract and too indescribable.The hen didn't know how he was going back, nor where his real home was, so she said she didn't understand.

"So, you can only provide material things?"

Samuel pulled himself together and continued to ask.

"Well, it seems to be what you said."

Samuel turned his head suddenly, his eyes fixed on the big metal lock on the gate, he wanted to open the lock, he wanted to go out, he wanted to be free!

According to the routine in ordinary novels, Samuel tried his best to imagine the appearance of a master key, the size of which can be inserted into the lockhole, and the shape is...

Wait, Samuel hasn't seen what the master key looks like, he just read it in the novel.He stared at the hen closely, but he did not see the master key appearing.

Well, then another way of thinking.He needed a small knife, which was very sharp, and could easily cut through the lock without making a sound.He brought in the shape of the hair-blowing knife in the martial arts TV series, and imagined that the frontal blade is very thin, but also hard enough, and even has an invisible knife aura.Samuel was imagining very seriously. Suddenly, he shuddered. In his imagination, the knife seemed to have been visualized, and it was about to cut the face he was watching.

However, the hen still didn't move. Samuel wanted to see if there were any eggs under the momo hen, but was pecked by the hen again.

"Fool, does your hen lay several eggs a day?"

The hen glanced at him disdainfully.Oops, got ridiculed.However, the unquestionable loss and almost negative emotions just now disappeared.Also, whose hen lays eggs as soon as she wants, and as many as she wants?Usually one a day.It seems that although this hen is miraculous, it is not out of the category of the species "hen".However, can a hen that lays golden eggs still be measured by the standard of an ordinary hen?

It doesn't matter, anyway, wait until tomorrow, Samuel will know whether the hen will give him a big surprise.

"Don't call me a hen and a hen. I don't even call you a human!"

Ah, the hen is angry!But it really has to be given a name, otherwise it will be indistinguishable from other ordinary hens just by sound.

"Then I'll call you Xiaohua."

Samuel chose a name at random, but he also felt good about it.The hen turned her head for a while and said, "Okay, let's call it this."

It's surprisingly easy to talk, and it's also a down-to-earth good chicken, Samuel thought, if he was asked to name a chicken with a name of ice and snow, he really couldn't pronounce it.

"However, I would rather you call me a human being. How domineering! Which novel would lack such a title?"

Xiao Hua looked at him disdainfully again.

"Mary."

Fuck!Samuel didn't care how Xiao Hua knew, he just wanted to say:

Do you want to be so sharp!
