Plane Small Bookstore [System]

The Oriental looks young, probably in his twenties, with gold-rimmed glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, and looks refined.He was wearing a strange dark gray robe, with an obvious exotic style.

Orientals from that mysterious continent are undoubtedly very rare in Bruce City. Linda blinked in surprise: "Hello, sir. Are you an Oriental?"

The oriental, that is, Le Jing smiled slightly: "Yes." The voice was warm and pleasant, and Linda inexplicably remembered the piece of white jade she had seen in a museum that was said to come from an ancient oriental country, wrapped in thick patina, There is a warm glow under the light.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a bookstore opened by an Oriental." Linda looked at Le Jing curiously, "After all, you know, Orientals are not common here."

Le Jing smiled slightly, noncommittal.

Linda glanced at the orderly bookshelves in the bookstore in awe, "I guess, you must be a wealthy collector, I dare say that the entire Bruce City, oh no, the entire Seid Empire can't find it." A bookstore with more books than you. What country are you from? Are you wearing clothes from your country?"

The level of technological development in this world prevents Le Ling from collecting data online, so he can only use mental power to scan and roughly check the environment within a radius of ten kilometers.So everything in this world depends on Le Jing to collect information by himself.

As his first guest, Linda undoubtedly provided him with important information: the publishing industry and cultural industry in this era are very underdeveloped, which is mixed news for him.

"Huaxia." He said softly, "I'm wearing a long gown." He bought this long gown on Taobao on a whim a few years ago, and he hasn't worn it much. He didn't expect it to be useful here.

Do you want to get some information from this woman?Le Jing thought for a while before giving up this plan.He is more inclined to collect intelligence and information from relatively objective books than to communicate with serious and inefficient personal tendencies.

"What about a country I've never heard of. Is it next to India?" Linda asked.

"No." Le Jing shook his head lightly, and said with a smile, "That is a country far, far away from here. She is both young and old, and she exists and does not exist."

Linda looked at this mysterious oriental man in bewilderment: "I'm so confused by you, what are you talking about?"

"You will understand, one day." There was a mysterious smile on the corner of the strange oriental man's mouth, and he looked at her with a strange determination, "Then miss, do you want to buy books?"

What book should I buy?Linda thought of the magazine "Flying Man" she was reading recently, which was a collection of travel notes about pilots flying planes around the world. This book aroused her great interest in flying, and she was eager to find something similar Take a look at the book.

"Excuse me, do you have any books similar to "Flying Man" magazine?"

The oriental man thought briefly and said politely, "I'm not sure if I have one. Can you tell me what kind of magazine it is?"

"Tell the story of the pilot's adventures around the world. The story is fascinating." Talking about her beloved book, Linda's depression and sadness disappeared, and her eyes began to shine.

Le Jing smiled, "I happen to have a book here that meets your requirements."

Linda looked at him expectantly, "What book?"

Le Jing grinned: "Its name is The Little Prince."

Only grown-ups can understand, lonely little prince.

So far, "The Little Prince" has a circulation of more than 250 million on the earth, has been translated into more than [-] languages, and is second only to the "Bible" in terms of reading and printing volume.

The emotions contained in the text are common. Even in another time and space, Le Jing believes that this fairy tale can still conquer countless adults who used to be children.

"little Prince"?Linda almost immediately thought of those vulgar prince and princess love novels, and these vulgar dramas can only fool the little girl who has no brains.

A flawless prince is destined to exist only in fairy tales.As a member of the upper class, Linda knows better than anyone else the kind of virtue behind those well-dressed young masters.You must know that even the villain Bingley, in the eyes of the little girl who doesn't know the truth, is also a handsome prince in disguise.

She raised her chin proudly, and couldn't help being a little annoyed by Le Jing's contempt: "If you think so, you're wrong, I'm not interested in romance novels."

"It's not a romance novel." Le Jing smiled slyly, "It's not a romance novel. "The Little Prince" is about a pilot's adventure after he was forced to land in the desert due to an engine failure."

Pilots, engine failures, forced landings, deserts...every word makes Linda's heart flutter and her imagination run wild.

"How much?" Linda realized after asking. She left in a hurry, without a wallet at all—and she usually didn't need to bring a wallet, as the servants always paid the bills.

Seeing Linda's embarrassment, Le Jing smiled and said, "Take it, I won't charge you."

Now Linda began to eye him suspiciously.

Le Jing showed a frank smile: "Of course I also have my purpose. As you can see, I am a book lover. So if possible, I would like to exchange books with you."

"In exchange for what?"

"A book that tells history."

Such a broad request made Linda look at the bookshelf behind him in surprise. Isn't there a book that tells history among so many books?

"But the best is the history book of your country." Le Jing added.

"Okay, I promise you." Linda said absently, fascinated by the strong and beautiful color scheme of the cover.

She quickly took the book from Le Jing's hand.It has to be said that this is a very beautiful book, she fell in love with it almost immediately, she had never seen a novel and beautiful book cover before!The cover is a melancholy dark blue. A child with blond hair is standing on a strange looking boulder looking into the distance. In the lower left corner, there is a sentence written in beautiful cursive characters: Dedicated to children and adults who have been children them.

The entire book is wrapped in a layer of plastic film, and it is obviously still unopened, and Linda will be its first reader.

The wind chimes sounded again, and the store returned to silence.The stylized smile on Le Jing's face disappeared immediately, "I'm really curious what kind of country this is." An excited smile eager to try appeared in his eyes.

Thanks to the universal translator installed by Le Ling, he and Linda have no communication barriers.Le Jing couldn't help but feel sorry for Linda's thick lines, and he didn't even notice that his mouth shape didn't match.

Since ancient times, the spread of culture has been limited by language and culture. Even the perfect translation on the earth cannot restore the original taste of the work 100%, but the translation provided by Leling claims to be able to restore the essence of the original work 100%. The translation function against the sky can only be achieved by black technology from the future.

Although the sorrows and joys of human beings are not interlinked, the greatness of a great work lies in the fact that it allows the readers and the author to have a dialogue directly to the soul.

Without the constraints of language, readers will be able to fully comprehend the thoughts and emotions of the original author.Le Jing has always believed that good works can overcome prejudices and restrictions in terms of nationality, religion, culture, etc., and arouse the resonance of readers.

Le Jing was looking forward to the girl's feedback and the book the girl brought him the next day.

The doorbell rang again, Le Jing showed a professional smile, and looked at the next guest: "Welcome, what book do you need?"

■

By the time Linda had time to look through the new book, it was already night.She wasted another afternoon!

But this is also helpless.As a young noble lady, if she wants to live in the circle of high society, she must spend time and energy on boring social activities.

She changed into her pajamas, sat on the head of the bed, and under the warm light of the lamp, she couldn't wait to open the book.

The author's name was Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a name Linda had never heard of, and it must have been some new author.

New authors often mean bad grammar and shitty content, and Linda secretly prays this one doesn't disappoint her, after all, she's interested in the subject matter.

〖I ask the children who may read this book, forgive me for dedicating this book to an adult...〗 Linda patiently read the author's preface, secretly wondering which country [France] is?She had never heard of this country.Probably some unknown small country.

〖When I was six years old, I once read in a book called "The Truth of Nature"...〗

And so the story begins.

Linda, who was looking forward to reading a great adventure story of a pilot, just met the little prince from an alien.

The little prince wanted a sheep to accompany him. He lived on a very small planet, not much bigger than a house, where he could watch the sunset 43 times a day.

He has a proud rose, and deeply loves this unique flower among the billions of stars.

He wandered all the way, met all kinds of people and animals, and successfully domesticated a fox.

In the end, he met 'me' - a pilot who crash-landed in the desert.

Linda has never read such a deep and beautiful poetry-like text, but the childlike ethereal and dreamy narration hides deep loneliness and sadness.

Halfway through the book, Linda has realized that this is not an adventure novel.This is a fairy tale, a fairy tale for adults.

So can the little prince return to his own planet in the end?

The unturned pages were getting thinner and thinner. Linda's heart was hanging high, and she tremblingly turned one page and another.

In the end, the eyes stayed on the last paragraph, not moving for a long time.

〖A yellow light flashed near his ankle bone.For an instant he was motionless.He didn't yell.He fell to the ground lightly like a tree, probably because of the sand, without even a sound. 〗

Linda was no longer a child, and of course she understood what snake venom was all about.But it was because of this that she was even more unwilling to believe that terrible guess.

is that a lie?

Isn't this a fairy tale?

How could the little prince die? !

By the way, the story is not over yet, maybe the little prince just fell asleep.Linda eagerly turned the pages of the book, looking eagerly between the words.

〖Until now, yes, it has been six years... I have never told this story...〗

〖...If a child comes up to you, if he laughs, has fair hair, and doesn't answer anyone's questions, you will guess who he is.Then, thank you!Don't make me so sad all the time, write to me quickly; he's back...〗

"No, it's a lie. The little prince will not die, he must have returned to his own planet." Linda lost her voice, and before she knew it, she had tears streaming down her face, crying like a child, "In a fairy tale It won't kill people, no."

Even so, Linda still knew in her heart that it was precisely because this was a fairy tale written for adults that the little prince died.

The little prince represents the innocence of every adult. When they grow up, everyone's "little prince" has returned to their own planet.

It is because of understanding this and connecting with herself that Linda burst into tears.

"I'm going to read this book again!" she choked out.

It seems that she has to go to see the boss tomorrow, and by the way, give him the "Complete History of Seide" in her family collection.Anyway, my father was just putting it in the study for an arty appearance, and it was just collecting dust at home.

Linda suddenly looked forward to the densely packed bookshelves that she saw in the afternoon. If all those books were as beautiful as the little prince... No, even if only one tenth of them were as beautiful as the little prince——

Then this bookstore will drive the whole Seid Empire, no, people all over the world crazy!
