Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Heart
At the end of the song, the onlookers applauded wildly, Su Mo bowed and thanked him, and then took out a hundred-yuan bill and put it into the old man's hat.
Su Mo was very satisfied, returned the erhu to the old man, and said, "Old man, you can go back with the money, do you want me to send you?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" The old man wiped away his tears, "Old man, I have played the erhu all my life, and if I can hear this song tonight, I will die immediately and have no regrets!" Thank you so much, I can go back on my own, I live around here! ”
"In this case, then I'll go first!"
Saying that, Su Mo squeezed out of the crowd and pulled Xia Qing away slowly, the old man's lips pursed, he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, he really wanted to learn this song, but would others teach it, think about it or forget it, so he can remember three or four percent.
It was already very dark, under the street lamp, Xia Qing snuggled up to Su Mo, biting her red lips, her heart was churning, she was cheering herself up, she wanted to confess to Su Mo! That's right, throw everything away and tell him the truth, I'm not a lily, but a normal woman who likes you!
Now is the best time, after tonight she will definitely regret it!
She took a deep breath, looked up and said, "Su Mo, actually I ......"
Who knew that Su Mo suddenly laughed, and Xia Qing's brewing was suddenly broken, and she said angrily: "What are you laughing at?!" ”
Su Mo waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your expression just now is like an angry little daughter-in-law, which reminds me of a person I met recently, she has a fierce personality, she is quite unreasonable, and she is not like a woman!" So just now I was thinking that if she showed that kind of expression, it would be funny, so I laughed! ”
Hearing this, Xia Qing lowered her head, then suddenly shook off Su Mo's hand, and walked away quickly without looking back, as if she was angry: "It's all your fault, it's the kind of miserable song that affects my mood, hum, I don't want to see you!" ”
Su Mo couldn't cry or laugh, and shouted in the back: "Then I'll play a festive tune, how about Pleasant Goat!" ”
Xia Qing waved her hand with her face to show disdain, but after walking away, you found that one of her hands was tightly covering her mouth and nose, but she was still choked up, because she had already burst into tears, Su Mo, you never knew that mentioning another woman in front of one woman is a great sin in itself!
Finally in July, Su Mo finally wrote the whole book of "The Condor Heroes", and it was time to set off another storm!
On the fifth floor of the Tomorrow Building, in the office of Xia Qing of the editorial department of "My Heroes", Xia Qing, Su Mo and Lao He are holding a tripartite meeting.
"Brother Su, you have been hiding "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for so long, and you have finally finished writing it? Why don't you take it out and show it to my brother? Lao He couldn't wait.
"Lao He! Let's get down to business! Su Mo, since you have finished writing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", how do you want to publish it, whether to publish the whole book directly or serialize, although there are no famous works serialized on the "My Heroes" periodical, there are still 200,000 sales per issue" Xia Qing smiled at Su Mo, as if she had forgotten what happened that night.
"Do you remember what I said the other day about solving hidden dangers?" Su Mo smiled confidently.
"Oh, what the hell do you have in mind?"
"You give me a reference to see if there is anything wrong with it. Well, I want to contribute 1 million myself, and you will launch an event for me, with the theme of "Continuing the Legend of the Condor Heroes", just like the last Hero Cup, whoever wins the final championship will have who's bonus! ”
Xia Qing figured out the joints almost instantly, and couldn't help but light up and said, "Wonderful! This will arouse reader engagement and be a good topic again! But after the topic became hot, he threw out the same sequel "The Condor Heroes", and compared it with those works, wouldn't it be good or bad? ! But aren't you afraid that someone will continue to write better than you? ”
Su Mo said that it didn't matter, but suddenly remembered something and said: "Last time I participated in the 'Hero Cup', didn't I say that the last first place could meet Master Liang Yusheng?" How is it just a gimmick? ”
Xia Qing smiled bitterly: "That's not it, Master Liang really agreed to my request, and I will send him your book later, but Xiangjiang sent a message soon after, saying that Master Liang is old and has been hospitalized because of a heart attack, so it won't be over."
Su Mo nodded and said, "No matter, let's do this first, of course, I've been busy catching up with the manuscript for the past two days, and I hardly slept much, so I'm going back to rest, I have printed out the manuscript and handed it over to Editor-in-Chief Xia, you can do it yourself, this event is planned by you, and one million will be deducted from the manuscript fee of this book?" ”
"Stingy and slacker!" Xia Qing scolded with a smile and said, "You guys go out first, I'll read the manuscript first and fail!" ”
So Su Mo and Lao He went out, and as soon as they arrived outside the office, Lao He grabbed Su Mo's shoulders and asked in a **** whisper: "Brother, how does Editor-in-Chief Xia taste?" ”
"How's that?"
"Pretend, you pretend! We've all noticed that you've been together a lot lately, and two days ago she said she leaked and admitted that you were his boyfriend! How's it going, how many bases have you played? Lao He squeezed his eyebrows.
is as upright as Su Mo, where can he hear such foul language, he can only snort coldly to express his disdain.
Lao He was bored with himself, but said again: "Don't talk about it, but can you send me a copy of the manuscript of the new book, I can't wait, you still don't worry about my character?" I won't give away any of the content, and besides, the last time you bought a gift of 10,000 yuan for everyone in our editorial department, I remember it! ”
Nonsense, isn't it just to buy a gift to buy you?
But Lao He also has the grace of knowing him, and he also believes in Lao He's character, so he agreed: "Who called us friends, I believe in you, and I will send you an electronic version when I go back."
Lao He rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Haha, it's righteous enough!" I can't wait, I'm sure you've been looking forward to it for a long time! ”
Su Mo nodded slightly, but suddenly remembered something, and sighed: "I'm afraid that they will want to kill me then!" ”
In the office, Xia Qing opened Su Mo's "The Condor Heroes", the first page is a preface, but it is a poem written by Su Mo:
I once read a story about a wild goose that is a very loyal animal, once a hunter shot a wild goose, and its mate did not flee, but crashed into the rocks under the scream and died! Later, people buried the two geese together, and their tombs were called "Wild Goose Hill", I felt very emotional, and wrote a poem, the title of the song is "Touching the Fish", the full text is as follows:
Yanqiu words
Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death. There are double flyers in the south and the north, and the old wings have been cold and hot several times. Happy and fun, parting bitter, there are even more crazy children. You should have said: Stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, who does the shadow go to?
Hengfen Road, lonely and drummed, the smoke is still flat. Conjuring spirits, the mountain ghosts are secretly crying wind and rain. The sky is also jealous, and the warblers and swallows are all loess. Through the ages, in order to stay for the people, he sang and drank wildly, and visited Yanqiu.
"What is the situation in the world? Teach life and death to make a promise! Xia Qing muttered this, sad in her heart, and then lay on the table and cried.
