Chapter 32 Rapid Growth (Asking for Milk Powder)
The matter of his younger brother was not followed until the evening, and throughout the day, Luo Yang was at the computer trying to revise his novels, and he sometimes suspected that he had no talent, as Stephen King said, a writer cannot be made, no matter the environment or the will, you may have a certain talent for writing or storytelling, but writing is still an unusual qualification.
A writer's growth process, in which ambition, desire, luck, and a little talent, all play a role.
There are no shortcuts on this path.
It is with the trust and longing for these words written by Stephen King in "The Thing to Write" that Luo Yang's dream is like a light walking through the leaves of the plane tree, appearing and disappearing.
The cub eats and sleeps, wakes up and eats, still reluctant to use the bottle, Luo Yang is becoming more familiar with the family heirloom method, and the skill of deceiving the cub is getting higher and higher.
He is revising the rejected novel of "Science Fiction World," called "Bubble Vesicles," about an unknown alien creature that clings to the surface of a building and floods the city.
The vesicles are this kind of alien civilization, which comes from a place unknown to humans, and as for how this civilization reached the earth, humans do not know.
The clash of stories naturally revolves around the clash between two civilizations, but humans don't know anything about vesicles.
This is the pit that Luo Yang dug for himself when he wrote "Bubble Sac", and now it seems that he has indeed been pitted himself, as if he was buried in a pit after the explosion of a nuclear bomb, lonely and helpless.
What if we don't know what a civilization means?
He re-read the 20,000-word "Bubble Sac", and it turned out to be written in the second person at that time, which really dug a hole for himself.
A smart writer knows what kind of story the reader likes to read, and will try to avoid dealing with problems that he can't handle well, and if there is a problem in the story that cannot be solved, it is a story that has been badly written.
The biggest problem with "Bubbles" is not the unruly second-person narration, but how humans are going to make sense of extraterrestrial civilizations.
On our planet, it is difficult for human beings to understand each other, how can two civilizations understand each other?
This question is almost the main theme of Luo Yang's science fiction novels.
It contains the loneliness of the species and the desire for companionship.
Because I can't understand that other civilizations, even if they coexist on the same planet, human beings are lonely.
It's like a family, if they can't understand each other, even if they are together in the morning and twilight, eating a meal in a bowl, sleeping in the same bedroom, or even the same bed, the two of them are still lonely.
Luo Yang picked up Shining and stood by the window, there were few pedestrians on the road, because it was too hot, the leaves were lazily glowing with the golden yellow of the sun, and only tirelessly knew that the abdominal cavity was vibrating one after another, making a buzzing sound.
The cub bit Luo Yang's shoulder, and Luo Yang noticed that the cub seemed to be a little heavier.
How can it grow so fast?
He put the cub on the bed, and the cub stared at his feet and wanted to turn over, trying several times, and finally, when Luo Yang was looking out the window in a daze, the little cub grunted, turned over to the right, and grabbed Luo Yang's gray short-sleeved shirt with one hand.
"Awesome, Twinkle, it's going to turn over so soon. ”
Luo Yang remembered that her grandmother used to say that she would turn over and sit and climb eight, so the cub was already three months old?
Three months in one day?
After a month, Luo Yang calculated, aren't you going to go to elementary school on September 1st?
"Da, da. ”
The cub who learned to turn over was turning over on the bed, and he was very happy, but Luo Yang was worried, since he would turn over, wouldn't it be easy to fall off his hands?
I should buy him a crib, but if he grows too fast, the crib won't be useful in a week or two.
Thinking of this, Luo Yang took down some thick and heavy books on the shelves, "Italian Renaissance Art", "Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aerospace Technology", "Death, War and Sacrifice", "Amber Zhi", "Dream of Red Mansions", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Net and Stone", "DK Biology Encyclopedia", "DK Animal Encyclopedia", and the second is several thick and heavy books surrounded by a semicircle, one side is attached to the head of the bed, and the other side is surrounded by a large arc, like a protractor used by students.
The cub would roll over inside, eat its own feet, giggle again, and its dark pupils with a dark blue in the iris, as deep as the Milky Way.
Luo Yang looked at the cub's eyes, and a trace of panic and uneasiness flashed in his heart, as if he looked at it a few more times, the time and space around him would be distorted, and he would never be able to take his eyes off it.
It must have been looking at the computer for too long, Luo Yang patted his forehead.
"Twinkle is playing in there, not allowed to come out. ”
Luo Yang stood by the window for a while, making sure that the stacked fence of books could temporarily block the cub before returning to the desk.
He had almost forgotten about his brother's borrowing of money, but he didn't expect his sister to send him another message.
These people haven't been in touch for a long time, and since Dad and Mom separated, these people are no longer special relatives.
My sister's name is Luo Tianjun, and she is closer to Luo Yang on weekdays. The names of these children in their family are really more exaggerated than the other, the elder sister is called Luo Tianjun, the younger brother Luo Tianming, and Luo Yang has an elder brother named Luo Tianxing.
Obviously, he is from the Tianzi generation, and his name should also be Luo Tianyang, but I don't know why his name is Luo Yang, missing the lawless Tianzi. Now the whole family is the most unproductive for him.
"Luo Yang, did Tianming look for you, he came to me to borrow money, saying that you asked him to come to me for help, saying that you don't have any money in your pocket for the time being. ”
Tianming is lying and not typing drafts, Luo Yang really can't remember when he said that he would ask his sister to borrow money.
"No, I didn't say it, but I don't have any money. ”
Before Luo Yang could finish replying to the message, Luo Tianjun opened a request for a video call.
My sister is really getting more and more beautiful, WeChat video calls do not have a beautification effect, and my sister is really better than 80% of the anchors.
"Ahem, what are you looking at? ”
Luo Tianjun urged, light peach eye makeup and light pink top, oh my God, I can't tell that my sister is 29 years old. It is said that eight glasses of water a day, taking pictures bring beauty to your face, is it true that the tap water in the magic capital has such a strong antioxidant effect?
"Haven't seen enough? Luo Yang, shouldn't you find a girlfriend? It's not okay to be single all the time. ”
"Sister, don't worry, I'm afraid I won't find a girlfriend? ”
