Chapter 118: Martial Arts VS Qingming Ke
After the hustle and bustle of the night, the streets seemed a little depressed at dawn on the first day of the new year, and many people who stayed up late to sleep at this time were still curled up in the quilt.
The biting cold wind blew, and the occasional newcomer walking on the street couldn't help but tighten his thick coat, and then put his hands together and blew on his mouth.
Uncle Chen is a cleaner, so he got up early on the first day of the new year and started sweeping the streets that left a lot of garbage last night.
After cleaning the area he was responsible for, Uncle Chen took out the thermos cup and took out the fresh milk that was kept warm inside and drank it.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, although there were businesses open, there were very few, so Uncle Chen's wife prepared breakfast for him on this day.
After breakfast, Uncle Chen put the thermos cup into a bag, hung it on the handrail of the garbage truck, and then pushed the garbage truck towards a newsstand not far away.
He is a fan of old books on Condor Shooting, so when he learned that Qi Ming's new book [Smiling Proud Jianghu] was going to be released, he wanted to start reading it as soon as possible to pass his leisure time.
Not far from the newsstand, Uncle Chen put the garbage truck in an unobstructed position, and then rubbed his dirty hands vigorously on his body, and then took out the wallet that his wife sewed for himself with a piece of cloth in his pocket.
After taking out two pieces of change from his wallet, Uncle Chen walked to the door of the newsstand and squatted, then took out the Yantai pot from his waist, put the tobacco on it, squinted his eyes and smoked.
At this time, there was no one in front of the newsstand, and the surroundings seemed quiet, and there were still some dimly lit streets with the occasional pedestrian passing.
It didn't take long for the newsstand in front of Uncle Chen to open the roller shutter and open.
"Uncle Chen, it's so early." The newsstand owner greeted Uncle Chen with a smile and said.
"It's not early, it's dawn." Uncle Chen knocked the Yantai pot next to him and said.
"Come and buy [Smiling Proud Jianghu], I know that you are an old fan of Condor shooting, and now that I know that Mr. Qiming has released a new book, I must be very impatient." The newsstand owner said with a smile, then took out a newspaper and handed it over.
"Haha...... You guessed it. Uncle Chen laughed heartily after hearing this. Then he took the newspaper handed over by the newsstand owner, and at the same time handed out the two dollars in his hand.
The newsstand owner did not stretch out his hand to take Uncle Chen's two yuan, but said gratefully, "Over the years, you have silently paid a lot for the surrounding environment, and when you come in the future, all my newspapers and periodicals here will be open to you for free." ”
Although it is cold in winter, the words of the newsstand owner are very heartwarming.
"It's not easy for you to open on the first day of the new year, take it, my son and daughter will make money, I just can't be idle. If you don't take the money, I won't come to you in the future. Uncle Chen said in a serious tone, but at this time, Uncle Chen's heart was warm, like a small stove in his heart.
"Okay, I'll keep it, but Uncle Chen, return this newspaper after you finish reading it, and I'll recycle it at the original price, so don't shirk this Uncle Chen." The newsstand owner said.
After hearing this, Uncle Chen smiled and said, "You think it's beautiful, I bought it and will return it there." I have time to look at it and savor it slowly. ”
"You're always in charge!" The newsstand owner also said with a smile.
"Why did you change your name and become [Martial Arts]?" Uncle Chen looked at the newspaper in his hand and said.
"You don't know yet, the original martial arts newspaper. Now it's national, and the name has been changed to the word "martial arts". The newsstand owner patiently explained.
"Qiming is a great young man, not only does he write well, but he also brings me a lot of fun and joy. And it's amazing to make a regional newspaper a national newspaper so quickly. Uncle Chen said appreciatively.
"It's really amazing, and he sings very well. We like to read books and listen to songs, and now we are blessed, and there have been many good books and songs recently. The newsstand owner said.
Uncle Chen nodded appreciatively after hearing this, and then rubbed his hands on his body again, and then carefully opened the newspaper in his hand.
"Boss, a martial arts, a Ming and Qing guest!" At this moment, a young man walked up to the newsstand and said.
"Here you go, there is a stool next to it, you can sit there and watch it if you're not busy, and you can discuss the plot with your common hobby later." The newsstand owner said with a smile.
The young man looked at the stool not far away, then smiled and sat down, and then began to look through the newspaper he had just bought.
"Boss, a Qingming guest."
"Boss, two copies of Qingming guest."
"Two copies each for martial arts and Qingming Ke."
As the sky brightened, the streets became more and more pedestrians, and the newsstand was the only one open in the neighborhood, so business slowly began to pick up.
"I can be regarded as finding one to open, hurry up and give me a whole martial arts, I can't wait."
"The world is out of my generation, the boss hurry up and have a copy!"
"I'm rubbing, I've met a confidant, and the passwords are all right, so I'll come too, as soon as I enter the rivers and lakes, I will get two copies of martial arts and martial arts!"
"It's really joyful, but I want one for martial arts and one for Qingmingke."
……
As more and more people bought newspapers and periodicals, the area around the newsstand gradually became more popular, and many people who bought the newspapers and periodicals they wanted gathered together to read the same newspaper and began to watch it.
"This Mr. Sima Zhao is really good, the writing is solid and sophisticated, and the narration ability is not bad, the first half of this first chapter [Ghost Crying Seven Evil Knives] is well written."
"Don't say it, the quality of Mr. Sima Zhao's writing is really guaranteed, it's quite enjoyable to read."
"After reading [Ghost Crying Seven Evil Knives], let me take a look at this [Smiling Proud Jianghu], I don't know how it compares with Mr. Sima Zhao?"
Just when some people who had watched [Ghost Crying Seven Evil Knives] praised Sima Zhao's good writing, the expressions on the faces of some people who were watching [Smiling Proud Jianghu] slowly changed from surprise at the beginning to doubt, then to stunned, then to puzzlement, and finally to incomprehension and loss.
Because at this time, many people who have seen [Xiaoao Jianghu] have found a problem.
The beginning of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is naturally amazing, and the eloquent and vivid text descriptions make people happy in their hearts, and they are full of infinite reverie and expectation for the next plot.
But with the in-depth reading, people found that although the text describing [Smiling Proud Jianghu] is still old and calm, the name of the protagonist Lin Pingzhi is not as good as Guo Jing's memory, but considering that the next plot is likely to be extremely exciting, people feel that it is nothing for the time being, and it is acceptable.
But as people look further back, they find that they can't find the passion and sense of substitution at first sight.
Following the description of the article to bring in Lin Pingzhi, the protagonist, the people who were watching [Smiling Proud Jianghu] at this time felt a little aggrieved, and they completely lost the joy and comfort that Guo Jinglai brought in when they watched the eagle shooting.
Compared with the courage of the protagonist Guo Jing, Guo Jing's righteousness, Guo Jing's courage, and Guo Jing's various characteristics in [The Legend of the Condor Heroes], people found that Lin Pingzhi, the protagonist of [Smiling Proud Jianghu], is completely uncharacteristic.
So after reading the first half of the first chapter serialized in martial arts [Smiling Proud Jianghu], people couldn't help but show unwillingness and disappointment on their faces.
Unwilling, unwilling, the beginning of [Smiling Proud Jianghu] seems to have lost to [Ghost Crying Seven Evil Knives].
Disappointment is disappointment why they have been waiting for a long time [Smiling Proud Jianghu], they have always believed in Mr. Qiming, how to write the new book Xiaoao why suddenly has such a big gap with the Condor Shooting, although the text and narrative techniques are as old as ever, convincing, but the plot and protagonist of the book [Smiling Proud Jianghu] made them really unacceptable for a while.
