"Skyfall" is very short, less than 5,000 words.

He's not so much a science fiction novel as a social fiction in the skin of science fiction.

An empathetic mother, a stubborn sister, an ignorant "me" and a seemingly irresponsible and alcoholic father make up a post-apocalyptic family on the verge of destruction of the ozone layer.

The ozone layer is deteriorating, my mother is seriously ill, and my father, who has lost his job, is an irresponsible alcoholic.

My sister and "I" were so disappointed in my father that they even wanted to sell their organs and skin to save my mother.

When the end of the day fell, the father found a good "job", left a sum of money for the children and disappeared.

It wasn't until many years later that "I", who survived underground with the money left by my father, finally discovered the truth......

The story begins with a misunderstanding and ends with an understanding, and the ending sentence is very calm, but full of a heart-wrenching power.

“…… Mom is right, Dad really loves us. (END)"

Xu Yun was still frowning when she saw it at the beginning of the month, thinking of her father who quarreled with her mother after drinking, thinking that the "sister" in the article was Zhou Lin sarcastically mocking her. But when she saw the end, she opened her mouth slightly, as if she didn't expect the ending to be like this.

Tears suddenly burst out of her eyes, Xu Yunyue got up in silence and rushed out of the classroom.

Zhou Lin followed out and chased him all the way to the playground behind the teaching building.

"Wait!" he caught up, grabbed Xu Yunyue's hand and pulled it violently, hesitated for less than half a second, and hugged her into his arms.

The strong and irresistible hug, just like the midnight of the last day of the previous life in 1999, the two people stood in the heavy snow to welcome the arrival of the 21st century, the fireworks were blooming overhead, the snowflakes danced lightly in the air, they hugged tightly, soft as water, hard as iron.

In the past and present life, this hug has crossed the long river of time, and I don't know how many years I have been waiting.

The girl entered her arms, missing her in her previous life who was as hard as iron, and missing her who was as gentle as water in her previous life, Zhou Lin's heart flowed.

"You let go of me!" Xu Yunyue didn't feel as much as Zhou Lin, she was stunned, and it took a few seconds before she woke up and wanted to break free.

"Whatever you're afraid of, I'll protect you. Zhou Lin still hugged tightly, lest she go back to 2015 as soon as she let go, and said softly, the hot air sprayed on her earlobes, like a snake plucking the heartstrings.

The girl softened and let him embrace.

A moment later, Zhou Lin was startled when she heard her sobbing, thinking that her abruptness had made her feel humiliated.

When she asked clearly, she just remembered the "father" in the novel.

It took a long time for Xu Yunyue's mood to gradually recover, and the two of them sat under the flag-raising platform on the edge of the playground.

There is a small crescent moon in the sky, like smiling eyes, from the past life to this life, to see through everyone's joys and sorrows.

"Why did you write such a sad novel?" Xu Yunyue wiped away her tears and asked reproachfully.

"I just want to show that parents love their children. Zhou Lin said with emotion, thinking about his old parents in his previous life.

"You've written so well. I didn't even know you could write novels. Xu Yunyue said.

Zhou Lin smiled: "I am very good at writing novels." ”

Xu Yunyue: "Anyway, thank you!"

Zhou Lin: "You're welcome. ”

"It's time to go back. Xu Yunyue stood up.

Suddenly, she looked at Zhou Lin and said in a low voice, "Hug it." ”

The two of them hugged gently.

In the previous life, they hugged countless times, lingering, tangled, and merging, but they were never so close.

"After you are admitted to university, if you pursue me, I will promise you. The moment they were closest to each other, Zhou Lin heard such a sentence from Xu Yunyue's mouth.

……

Zhou Lin was in a good mood when he went home.

After his fingertips dancing on the keyboard and "crackling" out the chapters that needed to be updated that day, he landed on the Singularity forum.

As soon as it was launched, I saw 415 short messages, half of which were reminders from new members, and half were private messages from readers who were anxious to update.

Recently, the Singularity Forum has more than 200 registered members every day, and the total number of users is rapidly moving towards the 5,000 mark.

To Zhou Lin's surprise, the new members were very active, and in addition to watching "Zhu Xian", some people wrote novels in other sections.

This is a good sign.

Zhou Lin does not have three heads and six arms, even if he has a vast treasure trove of art in his previous life, it is impossible for him to support a forum with the strength of one person.

It has to be worked together by other creators to make Singularity bigger and stronger.

"There should be some material rewards to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for creation. Looking at the extra novels on the forum, Zhou Lin thought silently.

The material reward must be supported by funds, Zhou Lin originally had more than 3,000 private money, and it cost a lot to buy a domain name and rent cyberspace, and the remaining more than 1,000 yuan was not enough.

It is necessary to get a start-up fund to speed up the development of the forum.

But where to find the money?

Zhou Lin originally planned to use "Zhu Xian" to make money.

But the Zhu Zifeng who contacted the publication a few days ago disappeared, probably scared away by the harsh conditions he proposed.

The Phantom Sword World has the intention of signing a contract, but Zhou Lin does not plan to sign the online copyright of "Zhu Xian" to others.

Since the way to make money with "Zhu Xian" is temporarily impossible, I can only find another way.

He scratched his head and thought: "Zhu Xian" is good, but the number of words is too many and the plot is too long, which is a project to catch big fish with a long line.

Now the most important thing is to get some short and fast projects.

Short, less time-consuming!

Flat, the difficulty should be low!

Hurry, get the money fast!

For others, it is not easy to make money, and it is even harder to make quick money. But Zhou Lin has so many things in his head that can make money, but he is not worried at all.

He cared more about efficiency, and after a little thought, he came up with two projects.

After searching for some information on the Internet, Zhou Lin began to "crackle" and type.

From time to time, he rubbed his sore fingers and shook his numb wrist, thinking that it was so hard to plagiarize, and I was sad enough.

After a busy night, Zhou Lin leaned on the back of the chair and took a nap a little exhausted, and only after waking up did he send out the results of the night's work.

After sending two emails, he rubbed his sore temples and pounded again, muttering: It's not easy to make some money......

Money is a bastard, but everyone likes it.

finally reborn, but Zhou Lin worked hard to make money, and hurriedly washed his face with cold water after a busy job, and rushed out of the house.

Coming out of the copy shop on the street, he had two more copies of the sheet music in his hand.

"Bo ......" Zhou Lin kissed on the song sheet, "My first pot of gold is counting on you!"
