"Boss, I'm here to return "The Four Famous Catchers of Jingshi", I've watched it for two days, right, make up for you a dollar, and I'll rent another copy." Tao Laosan took out a steel hammer from his pocket and put it on the table.

The boss picked up the steel hammer and threw it into the money box on the counter, then opened the account book, found the rental book record, and ticked off the record of "The Four Famous Catchers of Jingshi": "Okay, you can pick it yourself." ”

Tao Laosan went to the bookshelf to pick up books, and asked casually: "Boss, do you have any new books recently?" ”

"Or do you want to watch martial arts?"

"Hmm."

"For martial arts, Zhang Feifei wrote a book "Ten Thousand Swords and Escapees", if you want to read it, it is on the bookshelf on the left."

Tao Laosan shook his head: "If you don't look at Zhang Feifei, his writing is too artificial and fake, and I can't stand it." Is there a style like the Four Famous Catchers? ”

"Tan Zhang, the author of the Four Famous Arrests, wrote two books, Zhen Kanto and Huijingshi." After the boss finished speaking, he remembered something again and said, "Oh yes, Tan Zhang has written a new book called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which should look good." ”

"yes, where?"

"I'm sorry, the new book said it was eight volumes, and now only two volumes have come out, and I didn't buy it if it wasn't a set, if you really want to see it, you can go to the bookstore opposite to buy it."

When it comes to buying books, Tao Laosan is a little hesitant.

He is just an ordinary college student, renting books to read in his spare time, a book is five cents a day, and he only needs to read a book for a day or two, and the cost is at most one dollar. If you buy a book to read, a book will be sold for at least one or twenty yuan, and the money spent can allow him to rent books and read for more than half a month. Seriously not cost-effective.

However, now the martial arts novels in this rented bookstore have basically been read by him, and the rest are either not good-looking or non-martial arts.

There is a shortage of books.

Reading books is also addictive, and if you don't read a book for a day, you feel uncomfortable.

So Tao Laosan asked hesitantly: "Is that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" good-looking?" ”

The boss didn't answer and asked: "What do you think of the writing of the four famous catches?" ”

"It's good-looking, the best martial arts novel I've read this year."

"That's it, I haven't watched "Shooting the Condor" yet, but "Shooting the Condor" and the Four Famous Catches are written by the same author, so it shouldn't be ugly to think about. You can go to the bookstore and look through it first and buy it if you think it looks good. Or wait a while, I'll take a look at the situation, there have been a lot of people asking about "Shooting the Condor" recently, I'll observe and observe, if it's really good-looking, don't wait for it to be a set, buy it first. ”

Tao Laosan nodded, and then asked: "Are there many people who ask "Shooting the Condor"?" ”

"It's a lot, and many of my old customers who rent a bookstore have told me to buy condor."

In the end, with curiosity about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Tao Laosan left the rented bookstore. This time I didn't find a martial arts novel that I could read, he had read all the works of the old batch of famous artists, and some of the famous artists who are active now did not have a good appetite for him, that is, the four famous catches that have emerged recently.

It's a pity that the four famous catches have also finished reading now.

"Let's go to the bookstore and read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", if it's really good, I'll eat two less meals...... Or just stand in the bookstore and read the book. ”

A penny is difficult for a hero, Tao Laosan is just a poor student after all, and book money is a big expense for him.

The bookstore is just across the street from the rental bookstore, and it's not long to get there.

It's a small bookstore, just the size of a room, with a row of bookshelves on each side of the wall, two bookshelves back to back in the middle, and a small desk for special books next to the door, and then a variety of magazines piled up in boxes.

As soon as Tao Laosan entered the bookstore, he saw a man holding a book and putting it on the counter to pay the bill.

The brown and gray cover of the book has the words "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" written in cursive, and is accompanied by an ink painting of a man wearing a felt hat and shooting an eagle eagle with a bow.

"It's the book?" This thought swirled in Tao Laosan's mind.

Immediately, Tao Laosan began to look for "The Legend of Shooting Heroes", and he didn't look for a long time, in fact, he saw the bookshelf where "Shooting the Condor" was located at first sight. Because under the bookshelf, there were seven or eight people standing and squatting, each holding a copy of "Shooting the Condor" in their hands, looking at it with relish.

Compared to other places, this small area is simply lively.

"Don't be so exaggerated." Tao Laosan complained, and also pulled out one of the only three books left from the bookshelf, also stood aside, and began to look through it.

Turning the book open, the first page of the book, there were only three rows of words written on the snow-white paper.

The first row is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the second row is "Tan Zhang", and the third row is "Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House".

Turning another page, there is a self-preface written by Tan Zhang.

"I didn't want to write a preface, but Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House mentioned it, so I mentioned it superficially. I'm 16 years old, and I don't have much life experience to talk about, except for the things I liked to read when I was a child. The Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Journey to the West, Red Mansion, and Fengshen have all been read through, and Tang and Song poems, twenty-four histories, and Buddhist and Taoist classics have also been slightly involved. ”

"The greatest pleasure is undoubtedly reading martial arts novels, swords and swords, chivalrous rivers and lakes, children's love, martial arts cheats, there is a hundred times the pleasure of reading classic masterpieces. Watching others write about the rivers and lakes, colorful, I unconsciously follow the weaving stories, most of them are imagination, part of them are checking information, sketching for a long time, and finally started to write the four famous catches. ”

"Since the serialization of the four famous catches, it has brought me a lot of gains, both simplified and traditional Chinese have been published, and the prosperity of life naturally makes me continue to take martial arts novels as a career. When I make a cup of tea tonight, tap on the keyboard, and turn my ideas into square words, I will be full of emotion, like a dream: I am not a writer, but a student. ”

"Here with the students in the readers, the sea of learning is endless, there is a hard work, there is a road to the mountain of books, whether it is study or work, accumulation, diligence is the cornerstone of success. I often feel that my pen power is insufficient, I can't write what I think and feel, this is because the accumulation is still weak, and I have to continue to learn. ”

"I have read more than 10,000 books, and my pen is like a god. I am 108,000 miles away from this realm, but I also know that I can't afford not to be Hongyi, and I have a long way to go. Writing for me, should be brave and diligent, every time I think about this, I feel like climbing Mount Tai. Mount Tai is majestic and high, it is difficult to climb to the top without great perseverance, but when you reach the top, you can see all the mountains at a glance, and you can collect all the pride in your chest. ”

Following this feeling, inspiration sprung and decided to suspend the creation of the four famous catches and start a new book, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The story of the Condor is the process of climbing Mount Tai: a small person, how to practice hard in the rivers and lakes, how to adhere to his character, between the pitches, worthy of his heart, and finally ascend to the top to become a generation of heroes. ”

"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people."

"The hero I want to write, I hope he is a simple and upright, filial piety and diligence, patriotic and people-oriented hero, his personality may not be perfect, but he must have the power to infect the people around him, and carry out his life! Through this novel, I want to tell you that the rivers and lakes are not only reckless, but also real heroes. ”

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", 40 times, more than 1.2 million words, published in a total of eight volumes. I hope you and I can drink a glass of hero wine together and have a good dream. ”
