Me and my fantasy world

Deep in the dense forest, there is a vast grassland with an unnamed village with a population of about a hundred people.

At the entrance of the village, two guards were leaning against the gate with spears in hand.

"Hey, what do you think of the treasures they brought this time?"

"It's just so-so, and doesn't look very practical."

"It's quite practical. I'm so envious of Lao Wang's stove. Just lightly tap it and fire will come out."

"How is that possible? I don't believe in this thing, including the water valve in the square. I don't use it either."

"Why? Isn't it very useful? Just turn it on and water will come out. We have been going there to get water these past two days."

"How can water that appears out of nowhere be drinkable? My family has always been fetching water from the previous lake."

"You're still going to the lake? How far is it?"

“It’s far, but I can drink with confidence.”

As the two guards were talking, the cheers of children were suddenly heard in the village.

"Come on! Come after me!"

"Don't run!"

The two guards looked back and saw a girl, about six or seven years old, riding a bicycle quickly towards the village entrance.

"Hahaha, you can't catch up with me, you can't catch up with me!" The girl was still looking back and showing off. There were three or five children of the same age chasing after her.

"Oh, these little guys are so naughty." A guard covered his head and shook his head helplessly.

But the other one didn't treat the kids well. Instead, he raised the spear in his hand and smashed it hard on the ground with the butt of the spear. The crisp sound immediately stopped the group of kids from "making trouble": "What are you doing? Go back."

"Uncle Li! Let's go out and play for a while, not into the forest." The girl on the bicycle grabbed the guard's pants coquettishly.

"Old Li, it's okay to let them go out and play."

"No, this is a special period. We can't let the children go out. We have to stay vigilant at all times."

The atmosphere was a bit tense. One guard didn't think it was a big deal, but the other guard was particularly stubborn and insisted on not letting the children go out and make a fuss.

"Special period? What period?"

A boy's voice instantly appeared in the ears of the two guards. The two guards were startled and quickly jumped two steps away.

In front of the two guards was a person dressed in black. He sounded like a man, but he was wearing a hat. The hat was very big, covering his forehead and eyes, and he had a furry scarf around his neck. He appeared so quietly that not only the two guards, but even the girl on the bicycle didn't notice when he appeared.

"Who are you! Tell me your name!" The stubborn guard immediately became nervous and pointed his spear at the man.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, Lao Li." Another guard held the guard's spear and slowly put it down. Then he looked at the man again and asked, "I haven't seen you before. Are you from outside the area?"

"I guess so. I've been running and traveling all the way and haven't eaten yet." The man said, touching his stomach.

"Really? Escape? Did you commit a crime?" the guard continued to ask.

The man did not answer immediately, but hesitated for a long time, then took a deep breath and slowly said: "This is what happened. I stole some money from a nobleman in Nord Town and was almost caught by the guards. Luckily, I escaped from Nord Town and headed south through the jungle and saw this place. I haven't eaten for a long time, so I came here to ask for a bite to eat."

"Yeah, you're a beggar..." The guard looked the man up and down and continued to interrogate him, "How long have you not eaten?"

"I haven't eaten for four or five days, including the time I was caught. I came here just to get a meal." The man said humbly, as if begging the guard.

"Really... then come in." The guard said. The man and another guard were a little dazed, looking at the guard who nodded in confusion.

"Hey, are you crazy? You haven't asked clearly yet!" Another guard ran over to argue with him, but the guard who nodded ignored him.

He replied impatiently, "Hey, I know, I know. I'll take him to see the village chief later."

The stubborn guard wanted to argue, but the nodding guard had already walked away and turned back to signal the man to follow.

But the man's eyes fell on the girl riding a bicycle in front of him.

"What is this?" The man pointed at the bicycle the girl was riding with some curiosity.

"I don't know what it's called, but it's very fun. Do you want to play it?" The girl invited the man naively.

The man reached out and touched the bicycle, then touched the girl's head and said, "Forget it, you can have fun. I'm too big and may not be able to sit in it."

"Okay then." The girl said, and rode her bicycle back to the village with three or five children behind her.

"Hey! Let's go!" The guard urged the man to catch up. The man stared at the bicycle, unable to forget it for a long time.

His palms clenched, his eyes turned cold, and the stubborn guard beside him shuddered and looked at the man warily.

The man looked back at the stubborn guard beside him, then followed the guard who nodded.

……

Walk along the main road all the way inward and you will see a big house. The exterior looks like it is made of wood, which makes it particularly eye-catching compared to the surrounding thatched houses.

On this main road, there are rows of houses on the right. Although the houses are thatched, there are people sitting in front of the door of each house to enjoy the cool air. Most of them have a propeller covered with a net next to them, and the cool wind blows out from the propeller and blows on their faces.

"Electric fan..." the man muttered softly to himself.

"Hmm? What did you say?" The guard seemed to hear the man speak, but he didn't hear clearly.

The man saw them and pointed at them curiously: "What is that device?"

"Hmm? Oh, Pochi, you don't need to understand." The guard said with disgust and continued walking forward.

"Pochi? What does that mean?" the man asked confusedly.

"Well, there," said the guard, pointing to the left side of the road.

The man looked to the left. There were rice fields on the left. There were some people working in the fields. They were dressed in rags and had some strange patterns on their bodies, black in color, a bit like flames, but also a bit like wind and waves.

"They are Pochi, and you will be one of them by then." The guard said and continued walking inside.

"Pochi...is there anything special about them?" the man said, stopping and slightly lifting his hat. His left eye shone with a blue light as he scanned the group of people.

"Hey, let's go!" The guard called to the man to follow. The man quickly let go of his hat, put the hat back on his head, and caught up with the guard.

The two walked to the wooden house. The guard walked forward and knocked gently on the door. A girl's voice came from inside the house: "I'm coming!"

The door opened, revealing a girl with pigtails on her left shoulder. She looked ordinary, with a tiny black mole on the right corner of her lip. She was not delicate, but had the innocence of a girl next door. She was wearing a simple villager's outfit and an apron, and seemed to be busy with something.

"Hmm? Aya? Where is your father?" the guard asked.

"Daddy is still upstairs, maybe still sleeping. Are you looking for my dad?" asked the girl called Aya by the guard.

"Yes, there's a new Pochi here who wants to say hello to your father." The guard briefly explained the reason.

"Oh, it might be afternoon already and my dad hasn't gotten up yet." Aya answered, glancing at the ceiling from time to time.

"Okay then, this new Pochi hasn't eaten yet, Aya, you can take care of him." The guard said, pushing the man inside.

"Okay, thank you for your help." Aya said, taking the man from the guard, pulling him into the house, and then closing the door.

The facilities in the house are very simple. There is a stove on the left side of the door, but there is a red gem in the center of the stove. Following the stove inside, you can see a sink with some tableware in it. It looks like porcelain, and there is a curved hook on it, which feels a bit like a faucet. On the left side are the dining table and the hall, as well as a corridor leading to the second floor.

"Oh, another Pochi was kidnapped here for no apparent reason." Aya shook her head helplessly and turned to look at the man.

The man seemed to notice his gaze. When he turned around to look at Aya, he found that Aya was holding a long pole in her hand, pointing down at the ground.

The man stared at the tool in Aya's hand and frowned: "Vacuum cleaner..."

"Huh? What did you say?" Aya didn't seem to hear the man's mumbling.

"No, I mean... I'm a little hungry. Is there anything to eat?" Lingyi asked.

"I just prepared food for Daddy. Now that he hasn't woken up yet, let's eat together first." Aya said enthusiastically, walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and motioned for the man to sit down.

After the man sat down on the chair, Aya brought over several side dishes from somewhere, including fish, meat, eggs, vegetables, and a large bowl of salty soup.

"Do you and your father eat such a sumptuous meal?" the man asked Aya curiously.

"I'm sorry to embarrass you, but the food here can't compare to the dining table in the big city of Nord Town." Aya smiled apologetically, brought two bowls of rice, and handed the man a pair of chopsticks.

"Thank you." The man looked at the chopsticks handed to him by Aya, and took them after thanking her out of habit, but Aya stared at him blankly. After taking two bites of rice, the man seemed to notice her gaze and looked up at Aya, "What's wrong?"

"No, you are the first Pochi to thank us." Aya said blankly, and pulled out a chair and sat down stiffly, sitting next to the man.

"Really? Pochi is..." The man wanted to ask Aya about the situation, but Aya took the lead.

"Why are you eating with a hat on? It's so inconvenient." Aya looked at the man in confusion.

"Really? Well, I'll take it off." The man said, putting down his chopsticks, grabbing the brim of his hat with both hands, and slowly turning it back. The hat was attached to his clothes, so it didn't fall off, but Aya's jaw dropped when she saw the man's face.

What Aya saw was an extremely delicate face. His stunning appearance made him look like a fairy, but his short jet-black hair and protruding Adam's apple seemed to indicate that he was really a man.

A pair of pitch-black eyes were extremely deep, like a black hole, firmly grasping Aya's sight, as if there was a special suction force that wanted to suck Aya in.

There is an earring on the left ear. It is not a pendant type, but a ring accessory worn on the man's earlobe. There is also a black gem hanging on the earring on the earlobe.

"Huh? What's wrong with you?" The man looked at Aya in confusion.

"No, nothing..." Aya hurriedly looked away, a faint blush on her face, "You, are all the people in your big cities as handsome as you?"

"Ah? No..." The man scratched his head in confusion. In his opinion, he did not seem to be that delicate and handsome, but he must have misunderstood Aya.

"Really? So you are special..." Aya said, still glancing at the man from time to time, but then looking away like lightning.

"Let's eat. The food won't taste good if it gets cold." The man saw that something was not right and quickly changed the subject.
