Chapter Seventy-Five: Wandering

Towards the end of the period, the second issue of "Solo Singer" was officially released. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first printing of 300,000 copies, this printing is very large, it can be said that there are very few magazines on the market that can reach 300,000 large magazines, but Gu Bei believes that "Solo Singer" has this charm and reputation, and now the fame of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has already been played, and the number of online readings is tens of millions, as the only distribution channel of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the sales volume of "Solo Singer" will never be low, plus "Solo Singer" also has a group of top writers in later generations to help, and the sales volume of 300,000 should not be a problem.

In the days of release, the entire editorial department was very busy, and he couldn't even take care of the final exam, but he was a little busy, and the process was quite smooth, Lin Guodong didn't make a stumbling block for Gu Bei in the distribution, and now Lin Guodong is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect himself, the inside story of his extramarital affair with the school counselor Yu Xiaoling was revealed, and his wife Zhao Fengling heard the rumors, and a world war broke out between the two, and everyone in the whole of Xize knew about it, and it spread far away.

Lin Guodong's face was completely lost.

Gu Bei didn't know the specific situation, and he didn't care much about it, because this bit of lace news obviously couldn't bring down Lin Guodong, at most it was disgusting and disgusting Lin Guodong, Gu Bei clearly realized that if he wanted to completely pull Lin Guodong off the horse, he had to have more powerful killing moves, and now there were many things, so he focused on "Solo Singer".

On January 2nd, the day after the publication of "Solo Singer", Gu Bei took Li Yusheng to Qingchuan Book City.

"Minister, what are we going to the Book City for?" Li Yusheng asked, sitting in the Buick.

Gu Bei smiled: "We are a magazine, to do a good job of a magazine, in addition to solid editing, hard work, there is also the market, we must find out the market, have a strong market concept, respect the small merchants and vendors who finally put their products on the sales table, rather than sitting in the office building and dreaming." ”

Coming to Qingchuan Book City, Gu Bei took Li Yusheng's family to observe one bookstore after another, just after the holiday, there were a lot of people buying books in the book city, people of all ages, and in the magazine area, Gu Bei found that most of them were young people, and sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school students were the main consumers.

In a very conspicuous position in the magazine area, Gu Bei found "Solo Singer", there are the most people in this area, it seems that the sales are very good, and they are all high school students, among them are two fifteen or sixteen-year-old students with schoolbags, who are sitting on the floor, holding "Solo Singer" and watching it with relish.

Gu Bei took out a copy casually and held it in his hand, with a dark blue cover, three big black characters of "Solo Singer" at the top, and a content catalog and the words of the editor-in-chief Gu Bei below.

"Yusheng, you go and ask the counter, how many copies of "Solo Singer" have been sold. ”

"Good. ”

When Li Yusheng left, Gu Bei squatted down, squatted next to the two high school students who were reading, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, classmate, is this "Solo Singer" good-looking?"

The high school student looked up, wore a pair of glasses, nodded and said, "Looks good." ”

Another short high school student also said: "It's very good-looking, the stories in it are very young, passionate and popular, not as lifeless as other magazines, which suits my taste." ”

Gu Bei smiled: "What do you like the story the most?"

The short high school student immediately said: ""Ghost Blowing the Lamp", I was chasing this story when it was first published, and I have been waiting for almost two months.

Gu Bei was happy in his heart and asked, "Have you seen this kind of tomb robbery story before?"

The short student shook his head: "No, at first I thought this "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was a ghost story, but I didn't expect it to be a tomb robber, I have never seen it, it looks fresh and exciting, especially the fat man in the story, it's so interesting." Eh, by the way, do you also like to read tomb robbery stories, I recommend you buy this book, if I have more pocket money, I will buy it back and read it. ”

Gu Bei's mood suddenly brightened: "This magazine is not expensive, you don't need a lot of pocket money, right?"

The short student said: "It's not much, I have 30 yuan in my pocket to buy "Solo Singer", but I don't plan to buy it now, just read it here, and prepare to donate my pocket money." Speaking of this, the short student turned the "Solo Singer" to the end, pointed to the photo above and said: "This abandoned baby named Huahua is really pitiful, only seven or eight years old, has no parents, and has congenital heart disease, I plan to donate my pocket money to her." ”

Hearing this, Gu Bei's heart was particularly warm, and he turned to the last page of "Solo Singer", which was a public service advertisement for the orphanage he had engaged, which was equipped with the specific situation of the Furong Street Orphanage and the contact information for donations, as well as the photos Gu Bei took for Huahua a month ago.

The photograph occupies an entire cover, in a black-and-white, gloomy old house, with a ray of broken light falling through the cobweb-covered window and falling on the little girl sitting on the cramped and messy bed, the little girl is very thin, her face is shriveled, she is wearing a large old printed cotton coat, her body is curled up, her head is tilted, her mouth is open, and tears welling up in her eyes.

This photo touched many people, including Gu Bei himself.

Every time he sees the flowers in the photo, Gu Bei will remember his experience as a child, when he was about eight or nine years old, he lived with his grandmother in the countryside, grandma is a traditional rural woman, working year after year, there are endless things every day, but silently, like a table or a chair at home, always dependent but completely ignored.

I remember one time, Gu Bei and his grandmother went to the lake to put ducks, the wind and waves were urgent and big, hundreds of ducks were scattered by the storm, Gu Bei and his elderly grandmother sat on a bamboo raft to chase, a wave hit, the bamboo raft sank into the water, he was at this end of the bamboo raft, and grandma was at that end.

Gu Bei remembered that he was about to be flooded by the lake at that time, and he couldn't save it, he wanted to call his grandmother, but he couldn't shout, he knew that his grandmother was the person who loved him the most, but her love couldn't do anything, in that short moment, Gu Bei felt the helplessness and panic of fate, and then the lake flooded his waist, and the bamboo raft floated up again, but the panic of being submerged could not be dissipated.

The same is how the girl on the cover feels.

Huahua and the one who was submerged in the lake back then are heart-to-heart, full of helplessness and panic, with his mouth open, wanting to speak, but unable to speak, despair and longing for his parents are filled with those tearful eyes, this poor orphan's immature heart is struggling, screaming silently!

So Gu Bei wrote down her silent cry and wrote it on the cover:

If one day, my ideals are drenched in wind and rain;

Would you like to give me a hand?

If one day, I am powerless to move forward;

Would you like to spend a warm afternoon with me?

If I ask you anything;

Do you hear the cry of my dreams?

If this is an orphan abandoned by the world, will you wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with kindness?

If this is the future of a country, do you let her sleep soundly and stop hesitating!
