Whether you like it or not, time is gone.

In the expectation of many people, consciously or unconsciously, Sunday and Monday have passed without a sense of existence, and today is Tuesday. Tuesday is very usual, reincarnated every seven days, but today's Tuesday is usually the same, calm and the past are very different, once said that every day has two identities, today's Tuesday's identity is August 5th.

August 5th, is a day that many people forward on Weibo, and some of the people who forwarded it at the beginning of the retweet may not know the specifics, after all, some people don't have this hobby, but after the turn, many people know that in the era of network information, everyone can know what he wants to know, except for certain kinds of things.

I know, even if I'm not very interested, I want to take a look, even if it has nothing to do with me, curiosity is still curiosity no matter how big it is. And a person who has risen rapidly in the online literature industry, and quickly inherited the physical publication of the old man in the online literature industry is easy to arouse people's curiosity, those who don't know want to see, those who know want to buy the next set for collection, "Seven Weapons of the Immortal Sword" is the first martial arts book in the full moon purple city in terms of order and classification, and it is not low in terms of quality level and life thinking, not to mention that so many celebrities reprint, not to give the author face, but also to give face to idols, especially Brother Feng's face, the lethality of "Faith Flying in the Air" is too great, I was accidentally conquered by "Conquered".

On August 5th, the sky was beautiful and the sky was clear.

It's not beautiful, isn't it all like that in summer? The summer rain is just a shower, and the scorching sun is a frequent visitor to people's daily life, and a personal companion.

A certain city, a certain road.

Expensive or cheap, all kinds of vehicles are hurrying back and forth, or because it hasn't rained for a long time, the air is full of dust, and every car is not so new, even if it has just been driven out of the car wash, it is inevitable that a thin layer of dust will obscure the luster of the car itself.

No matter how rapid the development of human civilization is, something can never be avoided or eliminated.

In a car that is not very expensive, but not cheap either, a middle-aged man is engrossed in driving, paying attention to the street lights around him and in front of him.

Suddenly, a bell rang, and rhythmic sound waves spread through the small space inside the car.

The man was slightly stunned, glanced at the caller ID that was lighting on the mobile phone screen on the side, turned on the connection on the car, and communicated the phone. Sometimes the most expensive is not necessarily the most complete, after all, there are many things in the world that focus on one aspect.

"Hey, Dad, what's your instructions?" As soon as the phone rang, the middle-aged man said, and at the same time slightly moved the steering wheel in his hand and turned a corner.

"Son, did you go to the bookstore?" A voice that belonged to an old man, but sounded absolutely tough, came out.

"Dad, don't be too anxious, I'll arrive at two intersections yet, don't worry, it's only two twenty now, and it's not even half past two, I'll buy it back for you." The middle-aged man replied, there was a wry smile on his face, early this morning, he was woken up by his old man's phone, and after connecting, he was arranged by the old man, and after listening to it for a long time, he actually wanted to go to the big bookstore in the afternoon to buy two books, and he couldn't buy it, oops, really, the old man's words should be, and as a result, one morning even just past noon, the old man actually made four phone calls, and the arrangements were all noted, alas, the old man was on one thing, and he was hanging in his heart.

"Then hurry up, my grandson and I are still waiting to see." The old man's voice came from the phone again.

"Well, Dad, don't worry, I will definitely buy the book, and I will send it to you as soon as I buy it,...... Hey, don't worry, I'm still at the intersection,...... Well, Dad, I'll hang up first. Leaving another intersection behind the car, the middle-aged man hung up the phone.

He looked at the vehicles behind and around him in the rearview mirror and observed the road conditions in front of him through the windshield in front, the middle-aged man slightly accelerated the speed of the car, the old man was very anxious, and he could be relieved to arrive earlier.

"There are two books in the series of seven weapons, one is called the Immortal Sword, and the other is not known by name, the old man can really solve the problem!" Looking not far away, you can faintly see the bookstore with the big signboard, and the middle-aged man who is relieved muttered, "The author is full moon and purple gold city, I heard that this is a fantasy written martial arts How can the old man be so fascinated, and when I bought him the Legend of the Condor Heroes two days ago, I didn't urge him so much!" You have to buy it, hehe, when you have time, you have to go online to find out, I haven't been online for a long time, and I'm outdated. ”

The road doesn't seem far, but it's actually not far. It's not that the fog in the mountains is filled, bringing the far ones closer, and making the mountain passengers who have walked a large circle happy.

Stopping the car under a tree in the parking lot at the side of the intersection, pressing the electronic button in his hand to lock the car, the middle-aged man turned to the bookstore, which was just around the corner at the intersection. Walking through the intersection, the middle-aged man was stunned, in order to buy books, he specially came to the largest bookstore in the city, after all, books are only sold in large bookstores, and the biggest one is naturally for insurance. The largest bookstore naturally refers not only to the number and variety of books, but also to its façade, but what did he see, and where did the façade go? There are only people, there are so many people, and the façade is blocked. During the long holiday, the sea of people in the famous scenic spots, well, this is not comparable for the time being, but there are really a lot of people.

"Hey, brother, why is there so many people in the bookstore today? What's happening today? The middle-aged man stepped forward, patted the shoulder of a man in front of him, and asked politely.

"Uh, don't you know?" The man in front of him asked in surprise.

"Hehe, I really don't know, is there a book lottery today?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"Lottery? This is not enough, you really don't know, the news that has been promoted on the Internet these days. The man sold slightly, and asked some others.

"On the Internet, I'm sorry, I've been busy lately, and I haven't had time to pay attention to other news on the Internet, what's wrong? What's the matter? Does it have anything to do with the fact that there are so many people in bookstores today? ”

"The full moon opened a single chapter and said that seven kinds of weapons have been published in the physical book, and many celebrities are helping to promote them on the Internet, you really don't know, you are really, really a little special. We are all here to buy books, you said that this broken bookstore, every day is open all day, today it closes at eleven o'clock, and it opens again at three o'clock, if I didn't know that the full moon is on sale this afternoon, I will definitely leave a few greetings on their official website, you know, I am going to wait in the bookstore today until I buy the book in the afternoon. ”

Speaking of which, the man was gushing and saying a lot of useful information, while also expressing serious dissatisfaction with the bookstore.

"I'm really here to buy seven weapons, are these two books so good?" Listening to the man's words, the middle-aged man was a little stunned, muttered, and didn't want to believe it, after all, waiting to buy books at the door of the bookstore is all about the sale of everyone's works, and it is only with the sales of a lot of publicity, well, he said that this book is also promoted on the Internet, but is this author everyone?

"Hey, brother, what did you just talk about?" The man listened carefully for two sentences, and couldn't help but ask out loud when he didn't hear what the middle-aged man said.

"Ah, oh, am I in such a hurry to buy a book? It's a long time coming. The middle-aged man came back to his senses and said.

"This is not the same, today's book is partly special, deluxe edition, special cover packaging, and there is a full moon purple city big autograph, the full moon for the first time autographed physical book, it is worth collecting." The man retorted and explained.

That's right, this is a strategy of Tianxing Publishing, and the deluxe edition will be marketed on the day of sale, which is not limited, but limited to people and time. Only on this day, each person can only have one set, that is, the two books that have just come out, and they can be purchased with their ID cards, of course, the ordinary version is casual. As for the autograph of the full moon purple city, it was written by Lin Feng a few days ago and sent it by fax.

"Oh, I see, no wonder, everyone is waiting to buy the deluxe version of the book." The middle-aged man said.

"Not exactly, it's also for the ordinary version, after all, the deluxe version of an ID card can only buy one set, and the time limit is only two and a half hours today, and you may not be able to grab it if you come early." The man shook his head and said.

"The normal version doesn't have to be in such a hurry, right? How many more copies are I going to buy? The middle-aged man said.

"Ordinary ones are more urgent, brother, let me tell you, you must act quickly when you buy it in a while, damn Tianxing Publishing House is too insidious for this seven weapons publication, the official announcement of the first listing is only 800,000 copies, and it is not only for one city, they get it evenly divided, 800,000 copies does not sound too little, there will not be much left after being distributed to various cities, and the next sale does not know when, there is no news revealed." Otherwise, how could there be so many people queuing, you must know that the deluxe version is much more expensive than the ordinary version, more than three copies per book. The man explained.

One top three copies, is the price of the deluxe version, and it is the price of this store after this village, people usually think about it in the face of such a price, so they need to be forced to do it. And the ordinary version, then you need hunger marketing, the first time is so much, the second time, the third time, it depends on the market. The sales plan for the "Seven Weapons Series" formulated by the sales department of Tianxing Publishing House was very practical, especially after Lin Feng sent the second series to them, the plan was even more scolding.

"Uh, why does this behavior sound so bad, these profiteers really do anything for money!" The middle-aged man nodded.

"Who said it wasn't, so many people came to line up early, brother gave you a suggestion, if you really want to buy it, buy the luxury version, the probability of buying this is much higher than the probability of buying the ordinary version." The man suggested to the middle-aged man.

"Well, thank you, we'll see, thank you for delaying you for so long." The middle-aged man said.

"Hehe, you're welcome, it's idle anyway. Hey, brother, you just said that you were going to buy a few copies too, don't you know? The man smiled and asked.

"I bought it for the old people in the family, and I must call to buy it, so I came, and I just wanted to buy two copies for myself when I heard you say this." The middle-aged man smiled.

"Oh, so that's the case, brother, I won't introduce you more about this book, you will know it after reading it, and I promise that you will not regret it after reading it." The man said.

"Hehe, I see, thank you brother." The middle-aged man came again to thank him.

"It's fine." The man said.

……

Asked what he wanted to know, the middle-aged man who had made a decision in his heart chatted with the man for a while, and there were still a few minutes left at three o'clock, so he waited more slowly.

When chatting, looking at the more people behind him, the middle-aged man sighed in his heart that the full moon was ferocious in the purple gold city, and he was also a little glad that he was not late, otherwise he would have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

In the scorching summer, a hot wind blew, and the people gathered at the door of the bookstore began to be a little restless, and the moment was gradually approaching three o'clock, everyone was ready, and the time for the charge had come.

Second-by-second, the digital clock on the side of the signboard finally changed to three o'clock, and the door of the burglar-proof floor outside the door of the bookstore gradually rose.

The staff of the glass door inside had already opened the lock, and at the same time opened the door, after such a long time of accumulation, how could they not be considerate in the event of an outbreak, these people are all here to send money.

The two doors are gone, and the scene inside the house catches people's eyes, banners, streamers, tables, registration books, and well-dressed staff. The banner reads 'Warm congratulations on the launch of the first person on the Internet', this is the main word, and there is a line of small print next to it, the deluxe version and the ordinary version of the summer vacation in the hall on the first floor and the eastern area on the third floor.

After a little scrutiny, the crowd that had been waiting for a long time was like a monk who had eaten meat for too long and had never seen a feast of delicious vegetables, and they rushed in one by one, and their movements were very sensitive.

The middle-aged man, after several struggles, also followed the crowd into the crowd, moving towards the bookshelf with the books.

"This one is mine, this one is too, let it go, I'm going to pay."

"Hurry up, don't rub it in, I want four copies of the normal version."

"Don't be in a hurry to shout, hurry up, the second of the seven weapons with a full moon is what, talk about it."

"Hehe, I'm going to pay for it, wait a minute, I'll take a look, oh, this one is called the Peacock Feather of the Seven Weapons."

"Peacock Feather? It's a good book when I hear it, brother help me with that one, let's make friends. ”

……

The bookstore, which had been quiet for a few hours, was lively, even more lively than in the morning, and the role of fame in money was once again confirmed.

An endless stream of voices came and went in the bookstore, and the staff of the bookstore were busy, and the smile was obvious.

"Oh, it's not easy, it's finally out." The middle-aged man carried a bag and squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty, it was still cool outside, although it was summer, the heat was the characteristic of summer, and people were also suffering from the heat, but the heat of summer was nothing compared to the heat generated by the crowding in the bookstore.

Man, this creature is absolutely omnipotent, not to mention intelligence, even the heat generated by crowding between people is more unbearable than the heat generated by the sun.

Opening the car door and putting the books away, the middle-aged man started the car and, instead of driving away immediately, turned on the air conditioner and began to fight the popularity with the machine. After taking a sip of water, the middle-aged man took out his mobile phone, looked at the series of missed calls on it, and shook his head helplessly, my son, I was just grabbing a book and didn't have time to answer the phone!

After a few fiddles on the screen, the middle-aged man dialed back his old man's phone.

"Hey, Dad, it's me, I've just been buying books, there are too many people, I didn't have time to answer the phone."

"Oh, I see, it's okay, just buy the book, do you buy it?" The old man's voice came out.

"I bought it, I bought it in a deluxe version, and it is said that there is also the author's signature, but I haven't opened it yet, and I haven't seen it yet." The middle-aged man said.

"Just buy it, you can come back quickly, my grandson and I are still waiting." The old man's voice was satisfied.

"Got it, I'll go back right away."

Hanging up the phone, the middle-aged man picked up the water cup again and took a sip of water, water is indispensable, and salt is indispensable.

Putting the water cup down, the car pulled into the road again, merging into the traffic.

In the world, both animate and inanimate like to be in groups, because even if it is inanimate, fundamentally speaking, the dominant person is alive. Everything is centered on life.

Coming out of the traffic, the middle-aged man drove the car into an alley, this alley is not dilapidated, and the wall is not painted with the word 'demolition', this is the old area, it is the original residential area of the city.

After a few turns in the alley, the car stopped at the door of a courtyard, the wall of the yard is crawling with green, is swaying with the wind, giving people a green flavor, although in the city, but this is a world, not only because of the building, but also because of the people who live here. The city needs to keep fighting, even if you are tired, you can't be tired, because it is in the city, and here is different, the city's fighting spirit has not been able to erode here, and it is allowed to rest here.

Turning off the car, the middle-aged man got out of the car with the books he bought today, walked to the door, and without any hesitation, pushed the door directly and knocked on the door? I knocked on the door of my house, and I laughed.

This place where I wished that time would speed up when I was a child, but that I could count the stars at night, and this place where I didn't count the stars when I was a little older still wanted time to speed up, and when we reached the place where we wandered outside, where we came back and forth like passers-by, we came back without knocking.
