After Hibernating for 10,000 Years, I Was Exposed on Television - Chapter 2
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“This is the place where old Master Lynn used to live.”
At the request of Kaki and the production team, the old mayor led them to the door of an old-fashioned house.
The interior and exterior of the house exuded an ancient aura but still looked very clean. It was also maintained in a tidy manner.
The flowers and trees outside the door were well-trimmed.
There was no dust on the door and windowsill.
It was obvious that someone was maintaining and cleaning the house even after a long time.
“Is there someone living in the house?” asked Megan.
Before the mayor could answer Megan’s question, a child walked out of the house.
He looked at the program team curiously.
Then, he turned to the old mayor and asked, “Grandpa Mayor, who are they?”
The mayor introduced the boy to them, “They are people from a variety show. They want to see old Master Lynn’s old house.”
The mayor then said to the program team, “This child claims to be the descendant of Lynn’s servant, Arnold. He was ordered to come here to take care of the old house.”
“General Arnold actually has a descendant?”
“Isn’t it rumored that he was not married?”
“No, it’s said that he was married, but it was not announced to the public.”
“My God, the descendant of the number one general of the army actually has to help someone take care of the house.”
“Who exactly is this Lynn?”
“At such a young age, he has to do all this hard work. It’s really heartbreaking.”
The little boy was about 12 or 13 years old. He was in his prime. However, he was asked to stay in this remote old house that was almost isolated from the world.
If it was not for this variety show, no one would have known that the descendants of the great General Arnold had to suffer this kind of hardship.
“We are willing to raise money to hire people to take care of the house, just to give the child a free body.”
“At such a young age, he should be in the school or playing outside with others. He shouldn’t be asked to stay alone in this old house.”
“No matter how glorious old Master Lynn was in the past, he has been gone for so long. He should not be used to restrain the descendants of great men.”
Everyone in the live broadcast room spoke one after another.
They expressed their dissatisfaction toward the scene.
Megan looked at the comments in front of the screen and selected a few of them. She then read it to the little boy in front of her.
She also thought that at such a young age, he should study hard and enjoy the world outside. He should also be able to make friends freely.
He should not be in such an old house for the sake of the ‘system’ that had shut down a long time ago.
After hearing what Megan said, the little boy replied flatly, “I want to stay here. The master needs my care.”
It was just that one sentence.
The scalps of all the program team members and the audience watching the live broadcast immediately went numb. They felt like their heads were about to explode.
“What did he say?”
“Master?”
“Who’s the Master?”
“Is there someone else in the house beside him?”
“Could it be…”
“What are you thinking about? It’s already been 200 years. How is that possible?”
“…”
Megan was also very surprised when she heard the little boy’s reply. Her eyes widened and she felt goosebumps all over her body.
“Who’s the master that you’re talking about?”
According to the news in the past, the little boy’s ancestor, General Arnold, was someone’s servant. The only person he could address as master seemed to be that person.
At that moment, an old man with white hair suddenly appeared behind the little boy and asked, “Who are you? Why are you here in my home?”
“Holy sh*t”
The audience in the live broadcast room was dumbfounded.
This was because the old man appeared too quickly and out of nowhere.
It made many of the audience subconsciously retreat away from the screen in fear.
“Who is this old man?”
“He looks like a sage and an expert!”
“However, the key is, did you guys see how he appeared?”
“No, he panicked, and an old man suddenly appeared in front of the camera.”
“It’s too unbelievable. It happened in the blink of an eye.”
“It was too fast.”
“I didn’t see it clearly either.”
The audience in the live broadcast room expressed the shock in their hearts.
Even the program team’s people did not realize when the old man had appeared.
Finally, they came back to their senses.
They realized that the door was opened at some point.
The old man’s hand was placed on the little boy’s shoulder.
The little boy looked very pleased with himself. It was obvious that he knew the old man.
It seemed that this old man was the master that the little boy was talking about.
The program team members thought to themselves. They then asked, “Senior, may I know who you are?”
At that moment, the mayor was the first to speak.
This was because even he did not know who this old man was.
The old man sighed lightly, “I’m just one of the duckweed beings. Also, you haven’t said who you are yet. Why did you suddenly appear in my house?”
Kaki walked forward and looked at the old man. He replied respectfully, “Senior, it’s like this. We are the program team of a brand new variety show, Yearning! Villages and Town! After hearing about old Master Lynn’s glorious deeds, we would like to pay a visit to his former residence.”
As Kaki was an internationally renowned director, his status and position were exceptionally high.
However, he still did not dare to be presumptuous when facing the old man in front of him.
“There’s nothing to see. It’s just a house. You guys can leave.”
The old man responded indifferently and pulled the little boy’s hand. He was prepared to turn around and walk back to his house.
“Senior, please wait a moment. Can you tell us your name?” asked Kaki reluctantly.
Everyone had a guess about the old man’s identity.
However, they did not dare to probe further.
This was because the time span was too long.
It was almost two hundred years of history.
There were so many great people since ancient times. However, who could withstand the torment of time?
If he was really Lynn, then he was an old monster who had lived for more than two hundred years.
Everyone was more willing to believe that this old man in front of them should have had a deep relationship with Lynn.
He might even be a descendant of old Master Lynn. He might be his grandson.
“Me…?”
The old man turned his head, and his eyes became blurry.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard someone say my name. If you hadn’t mentioned it just now, I would have almost forgotten it. My name Is Lynn.”
“!!!”
Those four short words directly struck everyone’s heart.
“Lynn!”
“Lynn!”
“The Lynn who had lived for 200 years?”
“The hero who led the local slaves to revolt and turn over a new leaf!”
“The Master of the number one fierce general of the army at that time, Arnold?”
“He was actually still alive?”
Amidst the shock, everyone was filled with disbelief.
“Could Lynn be a surname?”
“It shouldn’t be, right? If it really is a surname, then he would probably say his full name. After all, he has to distinguish himself from old Master Lynn.”
“But it’s been so many years, and he’s still alive. I still can’t believe it.”
…
The discussion in the live broadcast room was very lively.
There were also various opinions regarding the old man’s true identity.
Some people said that he was a descendant of Lynn.
Some people said that he was actually a liar.
While some people also thought that he was Lynn himself, this group of people was in the minority.
