Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Monster (Part II)

George felt that this time was very sad. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With someone's help, Li Mo's manuscript was quickly sent to New York, along with a letter of recommendation from someone in the name of HKUST. HKUST is now at least ranked in the top five among all universities in China, and later may be dragged down by the backwardness of the development of the late province, or it may be dragged down by an incident, a little behind, but it is definitely in the top ten.

This letter really aroused the caution of some people in Bantam Publishing, and they opened the manuscript of the novel and read it.

When it comes to understanding bestsellers, they have a professional eye...... Not necessarily, if Limer had made Harry Potter out, they would continue to look at it from an adult point of view, and if they didn't get it right, it wouldn't have been published.

But from an adult's point of view, there is absolutely no problem in reading this novel, is the writing of this book important? It may be important, it may not really be important, as long as the writing is not infantil.

"Or was it written by a child?"

Several editors were stupid together.

It doesn't matter if the child is a child or not, the important thing is that the book is definitely eligible for publication, and if you don't get it right, it will become a big bestseller.

Bantam Books immediately sent George to China with an overseas Chinese to negotiate the publication and to verify the actual situation on someone's recommendation letter.

The two got off the plane from Hongqiao Airport in the magic capital and went straight to Li Mo's home.

The address is still the address of Li Mo's house, in fact, Li Mo also expected that with someone's recommendation, then Bantam will quickly send an editor to review the manuscript, as long as he reads it, he will agree to publish, that is, the speed of signing the contract this time is very fast, there is no need to wait for him to arrive at the school, there may be someone from either side. Therefore, he left his own address, and he didn't want to alarm the school, so he had to study with peace of mind in the past few years. Although he read a lot of books, the professional knowledge education he received in his previous life was poor, and he wanted to make up for it in this life. You don't have to go to Peking University, but you have to go to a good university, which is one of his ideals in this life.

What Li Mo's psychology is, others don't know.

George took the overseas Chinese and ran to Baoling County, Late Province, the problem is that the overseas Chinese surnamed Jin is Chinese, but a second devil and a banana man, his Chinese is not standard at all, and most of them are still Cantonese, even if he speaks Cantonese standardly, who can understand it when he runs to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River?

The language barrier, the two of them in this line, think about how much trouble they encountered?

If it weren't for Li Mo's deliberate Chinese address when leaving the address, and George deliberately brought Li Mo's Chinese address over, the two people might not have been able to find Baoling County.

George is not familiar with the situation in China, and Translator Kim is a two-devil and is not familiar with the situation in China.

If you are familiar with it, it will not be troublesome, go directly to the county government, the leaders of the county government do not speak English, but they can transfer English teachers from the county, and the two sides can communicate smoothly.

The two of them asked people around, among the four counties and one city in the Chaoshi area, Baoling County has the smallest area and the smallest population, and this is 82 years, one speaks English, and the other speaks the language of which country it is, and the people are stupid.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of enthusiastic people in this era, and there are also literate people, looking at the Chinese character address in George's hand, someone took them to the bus station and let them get on the bus to Cao Town.

The driver of the bus was also a warm-hearted person, so he kindly stopped in front of Sun Village, pointed to the north and said, "You keep going north, this village is past, and the small village in the northeast is Li Zhuang." ”

In fact, he did a bad thing with good intentions, and simply drove it to the bus station in the town at once, Cao Zhen is small, and the appearance of foreigners will inevitably alarm the leaders of the town government not far from the bus station. The level of the English teacher in Caozhen Middle School is the same thing, but if they can barely communicate with each other, the two will suffer a lot less.

The two of them took the address written by Li Mo, and they were in this big puff, and it happened that it rained heavily yesterday.

After a new rain, what will be the scene in the countryside after the new rain, after the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather will come late in autumn. The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream. The bamboo noise returns to the Huannu, and the lotus moves the fishing boat. Feel free to rest in spring, and the kings and grandchildren can stay.

Wrong!

Once it rains, the countryside is muddy everywhere. The group got off the road in front of Sun Village and began to walk up the muddy path.

Before he arrived at Li Mo's house, George's leather shoes were not the same, and he scolded in a low voice from time to time.

Well, this mess of mud looks like shit in his eyes anyway.

After going around for a while, fortunately they met a warm-hearted person from Sun Village and brought the two to Li Mo's house.

When he arrived at Li Mo's house, George froze.

In his impression, Li Mo may indeed be very young, but he should have been born in a well-educated family, even in poor China, otherwise he would not have had the opportunity to come into contact with English, let alone write this novel, and how much popular science knowledge is in this novel?

What is Li Mo's house like?

The mud wall is not an adobe wall, but a wall made of mud rammed, and when rammed, the mud carries a lot of water, and over time, this water is evaporated.

In addition, it is thermal expansion and cold contraction, some ancient fortresses are also rammed with mud wall, but the requirements for mud are stricter, and there are also some primitive measures to prevent thermal expansion and cold contraction, Li Mo's wall is definitely impossible to do.

Over time, the walls will crack.

What's worse is that there are many cow dung cakes on the wall, which can not only be burned in the pit in winter for heating, but now it has another role, that is, it is placed in the greenhouse, after all, coal is still a little expensive in this era, and it is not easy to buy.

In the eyes of rural people, it is a treasure, but in George's eyes, it is dung, no matter what kind of dung it is, can it be pasted on the wall outside his house?

And that's not all.

Then to the straw, the straw will rot after a while, and the straw on the roof must be replaced once every two or three years. Li Guangping also changed it last year, but now, the straw on the roof has also rotted and changed color...... Dead grass on the roof.

George didn't believe it, and pointed to the Li family's home and asked the people of Sun Village, "Mo Li?"

How did the people of Sun Village know about the situation in foreign countries, and they thought to themselves, "Their surname is Li, not their surname Mo!" But the two sides could not communicate, so they had to listen to him and Mo Li, and nodded.

"The little author lives in such a house?" asked George again in disbelief.

It was not easy, and this Chinese reluctantly translated this sentence in awkward Mandarin.

"Little author, he's published a book, yes, he lives here. The people of Sun Village said.

Someone also said some information about Li Mo's family in the letter, and he listened to Li Mo, but he couldn't say it clearly, George was stupid again, and then shouted at the door of Li Mo's house, selling cakes.

Xiaomei was playing with her two younger brothers to catch ants, and when she looked up, she saw that the monster was running home while shouting.

Li Mo put on the small vest and did not wear shoes.

Once the weather is hot, at this time most rural people are barefoot, one is to be cool, the other is to save shoes, often there is a scene, sometimes by some plant thorns, will be crossed, let the family with embroidery needles to pick out the thorns.

He greeted him and first called: "Uncle Sun......"

Then he looked at George and asked, "Sir, are you from the Bantan Book Company?"

Bantam Books is another name, and its real name is Bantan Books.

Li Mo asked in English, his current speaking skills are very poor, and he does not speak British English, nor American English, but Chinese English, but can barely communicate simply.

"We are, you're the author of Jurassic Park?" George wanted to cry with joy, whether he was the author or not, he could finally find someone to communicate with in this poor country.

"Can he speak English?" The people of Sun Village were also stupid, the two villages were not far away, he knew that the son of Li Guangping's family was demonic, but how demonic was this?

"Cake seller, you are a little bigger, have you started learning from your mother's womb? Cake seller, I can't believe my eyes, you are so big, you actually wrote that novel. ”

It was Li Mo's turn to be stupid, you are a white man, how can you speak faster than a black man? He couldn't understand it, so he immediately interrupted him and said, "May I ask what is the name of Mr., and besides, I don't have much problem reading and writing in English, but my listening and reading skills are very poor, and I can only do some simple communication." Please try to speak as slowly as possible, otherwise I won't understand. ”

It's also true, just like when he says this sentence, he can think of how to write it in English, but when it's his turn to pronounce it, there is a serious mistake in the pronunciation of one word. Li Mo also knew that he spoke very slowly, and even read out one word at a time, and let him read them all together, which was really not that ability.

George could hear it very well, but he might be able to understand it.

It is not only the work of Mr. Gu, he originally had some weak foundation, he has devoted himself to English writing in recent years, and is very familiar with English, and all three things are indispensable, otherwise now Li Moxiu wants to communicate in oral language, but has to write with a pen and communicate with each other in words.

"My name is George, and this is Mr. King. ”

"Hello George, Kim, hello. Li Mo stretched out his hand, shook hands with them, and then coaxed the crying little brother, and said: "Little sister, he is not a monster, he is an American, don't be afraid, come out and take my brother well, I still have something to talk to them." ”

"Big brother, he's really not a monster. ”

"No, when you grow up, I will take you to a foreign country to play, and there are many people who look like him. ”

The little sister timidly walked out of the house, once again confirmed that George was not a man-eating monster, and after seeing him with the people of Sun Village, she went to coax the two younger brothers.
