Chapter 364: Dictation of "The Condor Heroes" (II)
The next day, Hu Xiaomi appeared in the ward where Liu Jingting was, holding a large bouquet of flowers and carrying a large bag of fruit.
A reunion in the theoretical sense after a long absence, after a few years.
"How's it going?"
After a short period of embarrassment, Yang Lilu took the flowers and fruits, beckoned Hu Xiaomi to sit on her bed, Hu Xiaomi smiled and nodded and asked Liu Jingting casually.
"It's already healing, it's just very troublesome, you can't exercise vigorously, because once it's misaligned, you can only operate. β
"Strenuous exercise?" Hu Mi repeated, as if he hadn't heard him joke for a long time.
"I used to have a classmate who went to play badminton with a plaster cast, but he didn't have a re-examination in time, and then he had to undergo surgery, although he was sad, but he was still ridiculed for many years. β
Yang Lilu arranged the flowers and asked Hu Xiaomi: "There are so many things, how can you take them?"
"Came with a friend. Hu Mi replied with a slight implication.
"Why didn't you come up?" asked Liu Jingting.
"I asked him to wait below, but he was not familiar with it, and he did not understand the language, so he delayed his speech. β
Compared with English, Chinese also has shortcomings, one of which is that when using the third person, English can directly say gender, "shooting" or "he", a ear to understand, but Chinese is unified as "ta", curious, can only ask: "male and female?"
Liu Jingting and Yang Lilu were of course curious, but of course they couldn't ask.
"Did you graduate this year?"
Hu Xiaomi laughed for a while and said, "Last year." β
Liu Jingting patted his head and said, "In the past few years, I have no concept of time. β
At this time, Xu Qing walked in. When he saw Hu Xiaomi, he said, "Why don't you let your classmates come up and sit?"
Hu Xiaomi was curious: "Aunt Qing, how do you know him?"
"Jude Law, I saw it in the open bar the other day. β
"Open bar...... You were there that day?" Hu Mi turned his head to look at Liu Jingting.
Liu Jingting nodded.
"No wonder I left when I left. I always feel like I've seen a familiar figure, what's the matter, didn't say hello?"
"I saw you chatting with your classmates, so I didn't bother. β
Hu Xiaomi nodded.
"So, you've been in the U.S. since you graduated, what do you do now?" said Mr. Yoo to change the subject.
"Teaching Chinese in a Chinese training class, uh. He also wrote a serial for a best-selling magazine in China. β
"Oh, what magazine, how much does it cost?" asked Liu Jingting.
"It's the highest level in China. But in this case, it's above average. β
Liu Jingting coughed and said, "To make up for the gap, we still have to take it step by step." Strive to catch up with the United States fifty years ago. β
Xu Qing walked to the window. Press the windowsill, jump slightly, sit directly on the windowsill, look sideways down, and ask, "Do any of your other classmates say that your classmate looks like Jude Law?"
"Everybody says that. Hu Xiaomi, laughed.
"Is he chasing you?"
"Ah," Hu Xiaomi subconsciously glanced at Liu Jingting, nodded, and said, "Make an appointment to go over for coffee." But it was all a few colleagues together, and it was similar to the situation at the bar that day. β
Xu Qing smiled. glanced at the three of them meaningfully, and then relaxed into a posture of a byholder who began to watch the play.
"I heard Aunt Qing say that you have been traveling with them for three years?"
"Hmm. β
"Three years," Hu Xiaomi said with emotion: "It's been so long, it's hard to persevere, if it is, I may not be able to do it." β
Turning his head to Liu Jingting: "You know how you react, aren't you very moved?"
As soon as Xu Qing gave a hint, she didn't expect everyone to get straight to the point.
"It's very impressive, but it's hard to express. β
"Because it was more of a smug back then?"
"There will be. β
Hu Xiaomi laughed softly, stared at Liu Jingting for a while, and asked, "Actually, do you think you are that good at yourself? I mean, apart from writing books, do you have any other specialties?"
Liu Jingting thought seriously for a long time and said sincerely: "Dealing with words is indeed one of my greatest interests, but I never think that writing books like this is my specialty. β
"Don't say it sincerely, you used to say that the body is always a servant, and only writing gives people freedom, whether it is thought or action. β
"This is right, look at Aunt Qing, she lives so chicly, it is because she has literary talents, so many travel magazines across the country, and they are fighting to pay for her to travel. β
Xu Qing glared at Liu Jingting, but did not answer anything, she now wants to be a quiet spectator or observer, and of course she will not participate in the "negotiation".
The two girls also smiled, and the atmosphere was slightly more relaxed, and then Hu Xiaomi asked, "Liu Jingting, you already know my agreement with Banxian'er, right?"
An abrupt and sharp twist.
"Yes. β
"So you know everything?"
"Hmm. β
Yang Lilu was a little cramped, but quickly recovered as usual.
"At that time, I thought that three years would be able to change and prove a lot of things, but now it seems that this is indeed the case, and each of us has come a long way. Hu Xiaomi's face gradually relaxed.
"I'm still standing still. Yang Lilu continued.
Hu Xiaomi was stunned for a moment, and quickly agreed with this point of view, saying: "When I chatted with Aunt Qing on the microblog, I was really surprised, I was thinking how much I care about a person to be able to do this?"
Yang Lilu smiled: "It's like Xiaomi you change your vest to submit." β
The first confrontation came as scheduled, Xu Qing's expression changed slightly, but he turned his head out of the window casually, Liu Jingting didn't have any consciousness, and listened to the two girls with a warm smile on his face.
"Oh, that, it's really because the manuscript fee of "Craftsman Record" is relatively large, and I have declined many previous editing requests, so the old pen name is not easy to ...... anymore."
At this time, Hu Xiaomi's mobile phone rang. Xu Qing tilted her head slightly and looked downstairs and said, "Jude Law is on the phone." β
Hu Mi smiled and said, "Aunt Qing, his name is Lude." β
Quickly replied to the text message. Then he said: "Half fairy, Aunt Qing, I want to talk to him alone, I don't know ......"
"Oh, of course. β
Xu Qing jumped off the windowsill, and Yang Lilu also stood up.
"I'll make a long story short......"
After Xu Yang and the two left, Hu Xiaomi walked to Liu Jingting's bedside and said, "First." I admit that I can't secretly follow you for three years like Yang Lilu anyway. Or use ...... guard is more suitable, this has nothing to do with the favorite Cheng dΓΉ, it is purely a matter of values;
Second, I don't think I'm with anyone. I can get on with it too. Yang Lilu, just like what she said, has been standing still, drawing the ground as a prison, to put it nicely, it is called persistence, to put it bluntly, it is dead-eyed. It's also a matter of values;
Third ......"
Hu Xiaomi paused for a moment and put his hand on Liu Jingting's injured arm. stroked it lightly and continued: "I took the name of going alone, and naturally I have long been ready to go alone, and I hope you will recover soon." β
During the whole process, Liu Jingting didn't have time to say a word, and it wasn't until Mihu said the last four words of blessing that he answered: "Okay." β
"Then I'll go back first, let's have another meal together before returning home, I told my friends that I almost slept with the Nobel Prize winner Liu Jingting, but they still don't believe it. Mi Amber said with a rare arrogance.
ββ¦β¦β
Hu Xiaomi's laughter aloud, the hand that swept the injured arm just reached the palm, drew a pattern on the back of Liu Jingting's hand with his index finger, got up and left in a dashing manner, walked to the head of the bed, and suddenly turned his head again and asked: "Liu Jingting, have you ever touched the scumbag idea of Empress Nuying?"
"I've thought about it, I've even dreamed about it. Liu Jingting confessed.
"Haha, of course you thought about it, that day, what a pity...... I'm leaving. β
Hu Xiaomi opened the door and left, and never looked back, Liu Jingting sighed lightly, then shook his head and smiled, Mi Hu said so much, she just wanted to tell him a word, she was willing to become a world with him, but Yang Lilu regarded him as the whole world, so she chose to go alone.
Lonely clouds go alone.
Fortunately, everyone's appearance is relatively mature, Mihu did not want to find death and life, but gave herself a lesson, and Yang Lilu did not have any words to hint at Liu Jingting's confession in the desert carriage.
The whole process is very harmonious, Liu Jingting was thinking so, Xu Qing and Yang Lilu entered the house before and after, Xu Qing said: "Hu Xiaomi, who has studied in the United States for so many years, is still very classical in doing things." β
"What?"
When she was leaving, she told Lulu that as long as she wasn't married, she couldn't take it lightly. β
"She's joking. Yang Lilu explained.
Liu Jingting nodded.
Xu Qing returned to her window sill seat, looked downstairs with a strange expression, and said, "So, do you know what Jude she brought over, Oh Luther, what kind of road it is?"
"The president's son?"
Xu Qing smiled meaninglessly, turned around and said, "Have you eaten?"
Liu Jingting: "......"
Yang Lilu: "......"
β¦β¦
In the next month, no one else came to visit the hospital, and Liu Jingting worked with Yang Lilu to "write" while recuperating quietly, basically in three or four days, he could complete a chapter.
Xu Qing also began to sort out her travelogue around the world, although it was absolutely impossible for her to say it in person, but in the process of coordinating the manuscript alone, she was still grateful to Liu Jingting in her heart, and under his indirect or direct stimulation, the quality of this travelogue has been greatly improved.
It's a weird feeling, to be a companion with a big connoisseur, to remind yourself that you can't be sloppy anytime and anywhere, as if you will lose something once you write something that is not clever.
As an elder, Xu Qing can't be honestly criticized by Liu Jingting no matter what, so when she first wrote the manuscript, she carefully considered the words and sentences, pondered repeatedly, and strived to use every word appropriately, and worked hard to create various golden sentences, and wrote the part of the chicken soup for the soul mellow and skillful, and flawless.
She substituted Liu Jingting as her reader, and competed with Liu Jingting, but as a result, Liu Jingting actually accused her of "too many carved traces" and "the previous lightness and natural style were missing".
After arguing for a long time, Xu Qing learned from the pain and began to combine carving and lightness, and the use of words was no longer as casual and sloppy as before, but when expressing the central idea, he no longer deliberately pursued loftiness.
In this way, Xu Qing, who thought that her writing path had been set, faintly leaned out of another path, and at this time, Liu Jingting recommended two aesthetic books and a travel note by the Japanese travel writer Yiye Sakura to her.
It was the first time Xu Qing had carefully read a travel notebook, and as a result, Xu Qing compared Liu Jingting to a carp in her notebook.
The concept of "taking the carp out" is the result of Xu Qing's inspiration in the second year of travel, and the carp has the meaning of auspiciousness in ancient times, and it is the most widely spread mascot in China.
In addition, the concept combination with carp is very innovative and eye-catching, and it is easy to think of "the fish jumps into the sea at this time, and the flowers bloom on the other side", "the sea is wide with the fish jumping", "the carp jumps over the dragon gate" and other intentions, which is a potential advertisement.
Xu Qing tentatively mentioned this idea to Liu Jingting, after all, he was compared to a fish, and this kind of idea still had to be agreed by the parties.
Liu Jingting not only agreed, but even built yì her book title can be used "Take the carp out", when he was in college, he had come into contact with a book "Traveling with Salmon", although the title and content of the book are all kinds of weird and unexpected, but after reading it, I still feel that it is worth the money.
As a result, the main line of Xu Qing's travelogue is the record of the protagonists "I" and a "carp", which is equivalent to opening up two perspectives.
"The name of this carp can be called 'Jia Carp', and his remarks are even Jia (fake) carp words. β
Liu Jingting said.
β¦β¦
In November, Liu Jingting received an invitation from Sweden to attend the award ceremony in December.
Liu Jingting's injuries have gradually improved, and he has been discharged from the hospital, and now he is staying with Xu Qing and Yang Lilu at the home of a vineyard owner to continue to recuperate.
The three-year trip has come to an end, and it is quite complete to end in this way.
"The Condor Heroes" just wrote the eighth episode of "The Girl in White" at this time, in fact, if you calculate according to time, you should be able to write the tenth episode now, but when Yang Lilu recorded the seventh episode of "Chongyang Legacy", she suddenly played a trick and had a conflict with Liu Jingting for three days.
Because it was at this time that the heroine Xiaolongnu of Bingqing Yujie was ruined by Yin Zhiping.
For a girl, if her boyfriend is a writer and she is a reader, then substituting for the heroine is simply a matter of course.
Liu Jingting talked about the meaning of literature from the mystery of literature to the true meaning of the setting of this book, and from the separation of the author and the narrator to the meaning of love.
But, all useless.
It wasn't until she was finally forced to go into battle that Yang Lilu was forced to return to her post.
Xu Qing, who has been following this book, said bluntly: "Be prepared to be crusaded by readers." β
β¦β¦
At the end of November, the cover of the new issue of "Craftsman's Record" released a blockbuster advertisement: "Liyang's new work "Out with Carp" happily debuted on December 6!"
Another: "New Year's Special Issue, Gu Yongsheng Returns! New Work Continues the Storm of "Shooting the Condor"!" (to be continued......)
