Even if his house was destroyed because of what happened last time, as an earl, he would have no problem living anywhere. This country is a kingdom with an aristocratic system.
Shen Fu and Beatrice were completely incompatible with this place, but unexpectedly, the residents around them poked their heads and looked at them, but there was no disgust or jealousy in their eyes as expected, but more of Curiosity, or fear.
However, Shen Fu noticed that when he arrived at this place, the number of people with yellow skin and dark eyes suddenly increased, and he could not see many people on the streets outside.
"Here we are, right here."
Finally, Tian Anfu brought the two of them to a large dilapidated house. It looked a bit like the old church, but it was different. Looking up at the wall outside, there seemed to be several French words engraved on it, which were full of remnants of the times. imprint.
"This was an orphanage before the war."
Orphanage? Shen Fu held Beatrice's hand and walked step by step to the door. The sounds of children playing inside could already be heard. Although the door was dilapidated, it had been wiped very clean. The orphanage before the war should have been abandoned long ago. That's right.
Opening the door, there is a hall like a small auditorium. More than twenty children are sitting on the seats, playing and playing with each other. Standing in front is a girl wearing a blue dress, standing tall and tall, almost reaching The girl with long black hair tied around her waist, her mouth slightly pursed, her facial features soft, and her two completely different characteristics of competence and gentleness seemed to be perfectly integrated into her body.
Next to her was a small blackboard with a few correct Chinese characters written on it, which seemed to be during a break in teaching.
The girl clapped her hands to quiet the children.
"Okay, that's it for today's study. You all can go back to your rooms and play."
There were not many gentle words to say, and there was no expression on his face, but the children seemed to take advantage of it. They stood up and ran past Shen Fu and the two. Many children looked at them curiously, but they did not stop to watch. They all seemed obedient.
The girl just stood there, looking at Shen Fu for a long time before she lowered her head slightly.
"Thank you very much for your help at that time, Mr. Magician."
As Shen Fu expected, Count Nangong Muyue had been hiding behind the curtain that day and watched the whole process.
"It's just the right time."
Holding Beatrice's hand and walking over step by step, Tian Anfu closed the door at the back, and the whole chapel quickly became quiet, leaving only the three of them.
"Those children? Are they all Chinese orphans?"
I looked around at the interior of this building. Although everything was well tidied up, it was still difficult to hide the shabby atmosphere. The broken glass covered with exquisite window paper could not withstand the cold wind in winter.
"Yes, most of them are orphans from the frontline battlefields, and they are all Chinese."
"What about non-Chinese people? There should be many wanderers from other countries on the front line."
"My abilities are limited and I can only take care of my own compatriots. In fact, I can't take care of them for much longer."
It was very straightforward to tell the fact that she had abandoned orphans from other countries, but Shen Fu could tell from the faint bite of her lips and clenched fists that she was not as calm as she said.
"You are very good."
She is kind and unwilling, knows how to judge the situation and make choices, and will not mindlessly help others regardless of her own strength. From Shen Fu's perspective, this girl does have great potential.
"Why can't you take it for too long? Because of financial resources?"
"...Mr. Magician, I don't know why you have only appeared in this world now, but this world is completely different from before. No one will allow a person with great prestige to appear among the Chinese people." , just like my father, he could only die unexpectedly on an unknown battlefield."
It seems that even the Evans family can at most preserve her status, but cannot allow her to continue to help the poor here and maintain this orphanage.
“What will happen to them if you stop helping them?”
"They will probably be sent to other orphanages. They will join the army when they are older. If they survive, they may become farmers after retirement and spend their lives working for three meals a day."
In other words, they will gradually forget their identity, their own language, and their own culture, and eventually integrate into this new post-war world. In this way, in a few hundred years, the inheritance of China will be the same as all other pre-war Like the country, it became a brushstroke in the history books and was shattered into human civilization.
Is this the purpose behind the deliberate suppression?
"Nangong Muyue, have you ever returned to your hometown?"
Shen Fu lowered his eyelashes slightly and stared into the eyes of this compatriot from another world, which had the same deep pupils.
"What?"
Only then did Nangong Muyue realize that the magician's palm was stretched out in front of her. She put her palm into his hand with some hesitation.
In just an instant, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. The location they were in had changed from the small auditorium to the top of a majestic mountain. White clouds were under their feet. The breeze blew, the sea of clouds was floating, and the peaks were rising. Fading and appearing, she had lived in Paris since she was a child. She had never seen such a scenery before, and she couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
"How about Mount Tai, the national mountain of China and the first of the five mountains?"
Before arriving, Shen Fu had told Beatrice to set up optical distortion magic around them, so there was no need to worry about being discovered by satellites. However, he found that Beatrice was also covering her mouth and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her. Trance.
I almost forgot, this is also a 400-year-old otaku.
After just watching for a while, Shen Fu took them to other places, such as Guilin, the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, Huangshan Mountain, etc. Most of them were natural beauties. With Shen Fu's teleportation ability, it was only a short three or four days. For an hour, they basically visited the great mountains and rivers of China in this world, and finally arrived at the Forbidden City.
This Forbidden City, which once represented the pinnacle of China's honor, is completely dilapidated in this world. The floor tiles are completely shattered, the main hall has been cut from it, and there are ruins and broken walls everywhere whose original appearance cannot be seen. Only delicate lines are occasionally exposed from the fragments. , only then can one vaguely see the majesty of the past.
"It has become like this."
Although he had expected it, when he actually saw such a scene, even Shen Fu could not restrain his inner anger. China in this world did not even defend this place. One can already imagine the intensity of the war. , but this is the consequence of insufficient strength.
