In a parallel world.

I don't know how many people have won the Nobel Prize. It is estimated that 90% of Nobel Prize writers have never heard of their names and works.

But there is one person, there is a work, but it has spread almost all over the world!

Thunderous among billions of people around the world!

This person is: Hemingway!

And this work is: "The Old Man and the Sea"!

Hemingway established his position as a master in the history of global literature with "The Old Man and the Sea", and this book has also been rated as one of the 100 classics that have influenced history, ranking among the most influential in the literary world in the 20th century, and has a huge role in promoting and influencing the development of literature in the whole world. And this book is only 40,000 words, which can be called the work that has won the least Nobel Prize except for poetry and prose, which can be seen how high its literary value is!

In particular, it is worth mentioning that this book has also been listed as a compulsory reading journal for primary and secondary school students by the Ministry of Education of China, which is extremely rare in China.

More importantly, don't think that this highly literary Nobel Prize work sells worse than ordinary publications. In the parallel world, the book once set a record of selling an astonishing 5.3 million copies in two days.

No. 1 in the world in terms of sales!

"The Old Man and the Sea" does not involve any national or religious elements, but purely shows a fighting spirit that does not bow to fate and is optimistic. Plus it's only 40,000 words. And now, I have this experience in front of me again, so it is only fitting that I can take it out and give it to Miki to win the Nobel Prize in Literature!"

That's it!

When Lu Mingjun was still chatting with the old man.

They didn't know what kind of decision Wang Huan, who was lying on the side with his eyes closed, made.

……

……

The small fishing boat traveled in the sea for almost an hour before it approached the shore.

At this moment, the sun has gradually set, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, as if paving the sea with a layer of gold. There is a small village on the coast, which is also quiet and peaceful in the golden sunset.

The return of the old man's small fishing boat did not attract the attention of the rest of the village, and even everyone did not notice the arrival of Wang Huan and Lu Mingjun.

From this, you can see the status of the old man in the village.

But that's just right.

After going ashore.

Wang Huan and Lu Mingjun went to the old man's room: a dilapidated mud house that had fallen into disrepair.

"Take a break, I'll get you something to eat. And I've got an old friend coming later. ”

The old man spoke.

Wang Huan was surprised: "Old friend?"

There was a smile on the old man's dry face: "Yes, his name is Waltergu, and he has been in the village for half a year. Every time I came back from fishing, he would come and talk to me and ask me to tell him stories about the sea. ”

"Waltergu?"

Wang Huan always felt that this name was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

He wondered in his heart.

Could it be his delusion?

It stands to reason that he could not have known anyone in Cuba at all.

……

After the old man left.

Lu Mingjun said in a deep voice: "Wang Huan, how are you doing now?"

Wang Huan said: "It's just that the whole body is out of strength, it's not a big deal." Now it is gradually recovering. ”

Lu Mingjun: "That's good, I looked at it just now, and my phone was not damaged or flooded, but there was still no signal." Now we must get in touch with the outside world as soon as possible, or your disappearance may cause global shock. ”

Today's Wang Huan's status is extraordinary.

If the news of his plane crash came out from the outside world, it is estimated that the whole world will explode.

Wang Huan knew the seriousness of the matter and asked, "How to get in touch?"

Lu Mingjun said: "You are here first, I will go out to learn about the surrounding situation and see if there is a way to contact the outside world." ”

"Alright, you can go. ”

Wang Huan thought for a while and said: "By the way, if you contact the outside, don't tell them the news of the plane crash, just say that the helicopter just made a forced landing for special reasons, and we are all safe and sound." And, for the next three days, I'm going to stay here and not leave. ”

"Huh?"

Lu Mingjun's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of the sixth sense that Wang Huan said before.

Sighed in his heart: Wang Huan's sixth sense is also amazing, right? Before he said that he might encounter danger, and then there was really a big incident, fortunately we were replaced by a helicopter, otherwise if we still sat on the business plane according to the original plan, it is estimated that we would have died at this moment. Now that he said he was going to hide the news of the plane crash, he was going to stay here for three days. I guess he has a point.

Countless thoughts flashed through his heart, and finally he nodded and answered, "Okay!"

……

Lu Mingjun finally came back after going out for two hours:

"I borrowed a motorcycle, rode out for dozens of kilometers, and finally got a signal. The company of the helicopter we were flying in was scared, and if you did die in the crash, their entire company would not be able to pay for it. So hearing that you are fine, the chairman of their company has rushed here as soon as possible, and it is estimated that he will be able to arrive tomorrow. ”

"In addition, hearing you say that you are hiding the news of the plane crash, the other party is overjoyed, and it will not be surprising that it will give you a huge benefit as compensation. And there is also good news that the pilot who parachuted on the plane actually hit the big luck, jumped without accident, and happened to be carried to the shore by a current, and has been rescued at this moment. ”

"As for the others, I'm just telling you that there are very important things that need to be temporarily here for three days, so I didn't arouse anyone's suspicions. ”

Wang Huan nodded.

This pilot just suffered an unwarranted disaster, and at this moment, he was also relieved to hear that the other party was fine.

The outside has been taken care of, so in the next three days, he will perform a miracle here:

Write the epic masterpiece "The Old Man and the Sea".

……

The old man's dinner was simple.

But in Wang Huan's view, this is already his greatest passion.

A plate of sweet potatoes.

A pot of salmon bone stewed in broth.

That's all.

Just as he was about to start eating, there was a knock on the wooden door, and then someone pushed the door in, with a hearty smile: "Old Fulai, you are finally back, what have you gained at sea this time? Tell me quickly, I brought two catties of good wine." ”

A bearded man of forty or fifty years old walked in, carrying half a pig's trotter in his left hand and a jug of wine in his right hand.

After coming in, I saw Wang Huan and the two.

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "Is there a guest? Asian? Hey, old Fulai, I didn't expect you to have such a friend? Did you meet at sea? It seems that this time the story is more exciting than before." ”

The bearded eyes swept around Wang Huan's face twice, then looked away, and didn't seem to recognize him.

It was Wang Huan, whose eyes widened the moment he saw the bearded man.

Sky!

He finally remembered!

No wonder the old man always felt familiar with the name when he said that he had a friend named "Waltergu". Seeing the beard in front of him at this moment, Wang Huan's mind was instantly clear.

Waltergu!

World-renowned writers!

2010 Nobel Prize in Literature!

But how could Waltegu be here?

Wang Huan was stunned.

Soon, though, a huge surprise swelled up in my heart.

Doesn't Waltergu's arrival here mean that he can use the Nobel laureate in literature to do him a great favor with a little thought in the future?

And this big favor is the Nobel Prize nomination recommender of "Miki"!

"I remember, I guess I used the full version of luck before, which made me so lucky. ”

Wang Huan was pleasantly surprised.

Then.

Old Fold came to find a stool: "Waltergu, my friend, you are here, sit down." You guessed it, these two young people from China did meet me at sea when they were attacked by sharks......"

The old man soon began to talk to Waltergu.

The two talked and laughed.

Sure enough, they are a pair of good friends.

Soon, the old man recounted in detail what had happened at sea.

Waltergu didn't know when he took out a pen and a notebook from his body, and his eyes lit up to record.

When the old man finished speaking, he exclaimed: "Old Fulai, your life experience is so rich, I really came here right, such an experience is the most wonderful creative inspiration in the world for a writer." I think your adventures at sea this time, as well as the rescue of two Chinese people, are enough for me to write a good article. ”

Old Fu Lai took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that creation is difficult? Why is it suddenly so simple?"

Waltergu nodded and shook his head: "Inspired creation is the most wonderful thing in the world. If there is no inspiration, then it will become the most painful thing in the world. Just like the Nobel Prize, as long as inspiration comes, maybe you can write an essay casually and win the prize. But if you don't have inspiration, you may not be able to win this award for the rest of your life. ”

Lao Fulai smiled: "You said it simply, now there are two young people from Huaxia here. I remember you said before that no one in China has won the Nobel Prize until now, right?"

"Haha, sorry, sorry. ”

Waltergu said sorry to Wang Huan and the others, and continued: "The situation in Huaxia is special and cannot be generalized. ”

On the side.

Wang Huan, who had been forgotten on the side, listened to the chat between the two old men.

He finally understood why Valtegu had come to this small fishing village.

It turned out to be an inspiration!

And stay in such a small fishing village for half a year.

Sure enough, none of the writers who can become a generation of great writers are simple characters. It is no wonder that Wang Huan has heard that many writers do not hesitate to travel the world in order to find creative inspiration. After all, you can't write soul-shaking works without enough experience, and you can only turn these things into great works by experiencing some things yourself.

Just to hear Waltergu's words.

Wang Huan couldn't help but say, "Why is Huaxia's situation special?"

Waltergu glanced at Wang Huan and said seriously: "I have studied many of your famous works in China, and I think that China has a specific text and culture, and the works written in this situation, whether it is human nature or other meanings, are very difficult to be recognized by other countries, which is also the reason why Huaxia cannot win the Nobel Prize." For Chinese people to win the Nobel Prize, I think it will take at least ten years or more, and there will be a writer with a pioneering mind to write a work that is not affected by the deep-rooted culture of China, so that there can be a big breakthrough. ”

Ten years?

Wang Huan raised his eyebrows.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Waltergou, I remember that when I was in France, Wang Huan once said that he was going to compete for this year's Nobel Prize, right?

Walter laughed: "It's not that I don't have confidence in him, it's that his words are too exaggerated." The Nobel Prize is a sacred stage, and it represents the highest achievement in the world literary scene. And with Wang Huan's current literary skills, I think there is still a big gap to be on this stage. And now there is only a month before the Nobel Prize is awarded, and Wang Huan still has not written any works, which means that what he said before is completely unbelievable. Let me ask you, as a Chinese, do you think Wang Huan's words are credible?"

Wang Huan nodded seriously: "Yes." ”

Waltergu: "......"

Wang Huan said: "Because I am Wang Huan." ”

Waltergu: "......"

Wang Huan continued: "Mr. Waltergu, you also said just now that when inspiration comes, you may be able to win the Nobel Prize by writing an article casually. Today I experienced the most thrilling event of my life, and I also listened to the wonderful and exciting process of Mr. Fray Sr. hunting at sea. Now I have a lot of emotion in my heart, and I am going to write a casual article about this matter and use it to compete for the Nobel Prize. When this article is written, please review it. ”

“？？？”

What's that?

Waltergu looked at Wang Huan's eyes at this moment, as if he was mentally retarded.

He just mentioned a little bit just a little that Huaxia is not good, Wang Huan is not good, you Wang Huan is going to write an article on the spot, and he is not ashamed to use it to compete for the Nobel Prize?

You're a bar, aren't you?

Interesting?
