Chapter 141: Main Course
Miss Lu's joining made up for the shortcomings of the newspaper. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is no technical difficulty in illustrating in a newspaper, as long as you adjust the mold of the movable type and fix the woodcut in a suitable position. As for color prints or something, you don't have to think about it for a while, it's rare to have a talent like Miss Lu join, and the newspaper can't exhaust people to death.
The remaining problem is the ratio of men to women.
When Shao Ning and Xiao Pan were away, Xiao Jing was surrounded by a group of warblers and swallows all day long. He would never be distracted by his hard work, but the situation was a bit embarrassing; Besides, there are already rumors outside, which probably means that President Xiao Da used his work to benefit himself, and Jinwu Zangjiao hired a large number of beautiful women......
What is this?
Listening to Dong Xiaoya, the Ling Gongzi who appeared during the interview came when the two were on a business trip, and they didn't know what was going on. If he comes again, Xiao Jing will have to talk to him well.
A few days later, the Mirror newspaper with news pictures appeared.
It's been a long time since there has been a queue to buy a newspaper on the streets of Ruidu. This is mainly due to the continuous expansion of the printing capacity of the mirror newspaper, which has basically been able to meet people's purchase needs; In addition, everyone has gone through the process of going from unfamiliar to familiar with newspapers, and naturally they will not rush to buy them as they did at the beginning.
After breakfast on the street corner, Li Gou'er paced to the bookstore two blocks away. He had studied in a private school for several years and knew a lot of words. Since he has a mirror newspaper, his idle life has one more fun: reading the newspaper to the people around him!
The neighbors were very disgusted with him as an idle man. Young people who have read books will either go to the examination for fame, or they will find a job to do, what does it look like to hang around all day?
The cold eyes and gossip of these people once made Li Gou'er very depressed. However, since he read the newspaper to a few aunts by chance, this situation has been reversed: although people still don't look down on him as an old man, their attitude towards him in conversation is much more polite. Over time, everyone's business life has been enriched, and they have also benefited from the newspaper, and his reputation has naturally risen, and no one is gossiping about him behind his back.
"It is worthy of being a posterity who has read books", "Dogs teach my little treasure more", "When will I read the newspaper again...... The ardent words gave him a great sense of satisfaction, and he had long been hit by cold words and wanted to give up his life and wait for death, and he also felt the value of life in the world for the first time.
Now, he's going to buy newspapers so he can go back and read them to others.
A man hurried from behind him to in front of him. Li Gou'er hurriedly stopped him and said, "Third Brother Zhao, why are you going, but is there anything urgent?" ”
Zhao Sange hurriedly said: "Today's mirror newspaper is crazy again, even people who don't usually buy newspapers have gone to rob it, if you don't hurry up, there will really be no more!" ”
Li Gou'er was stunned for a moment and said, "But is there anything new, why did you suddenly ......?"
Zhao Sange, who didn't slow down at all, panted and said: "I heard that this newspaper is equipped with illustrations, just like a script!" Ahem, what are you pestering me to ask me for, why don't you go and see for yourself? ”
As soon as the words fell, he actually ran up, and before Li Gou'er could speak, he ran away without a trace.
Li Gou'er's curiosity was aroused. He hurried to the bookstore, and was shocked by the results: the newspaper was sold out before a stick of incense!
There was no way, so he had to go to a few more places to get a newspaper.
Linzhou ...... Why is Linzhou again? Didn't the newspaper say about Linzhou a few days ago?
Of course, Li Gou'er didn't know that the content of the last issue of the newspaper about Linzhou was sent back to Puhua Town by Xiao Jingtuo in advance, and that little thing was just a warm-up. Today is the day when Xiao Jing and Qin Ziqian serve the main course.
He noticed that the newspaper was much thicker than it used to be. It turns out that today's Mirror has three more pages than the original, and these three pages are all about Linzhou.
Li Gou'er found a tea stall on the side of the road and sat down casually, holding a newspaper and reading:
“…… In that extremely dark day, only blood and fire remained in Linzhou City. Escaping is a luxury, and the only way to survive is to hide.
When the city was broken, Granny Yu was washing rice at home.
It's not the first time she's lived here for generations. Decades ago, the vanguard of the Beihu people also penetrated deep into the territory of Linzhou.
At that time, she was still a little girl. She remembered that the men in the city were organized, and his father and even grandfather had gone up to the city walls.
Fortunately, the Beihu people saw that they could not reap the benefits, and quickly retreated. Since then, her father often proudly told her: Linzhou City is high and deep, no matter who comes, it can't be broken!
Therefore, she was not panicked because of the Beihu soldiers coming to the city. Life has to go on, and if Linzhou can repel the Beihu people once, it will definitely be able to repel the second time.
But she was wrong. Soon, the streets of the city were filled with the sound of horses' hooves; And that terrible howl proves that the steel knife of the invader has been cut at the compatriots.
She hid her little grandson in a rice jar and let her twelve-year-old granddaughter hide in the closet. Soon, the Beihu people came; They kicked the door open, smirking and slashing at the top of her head.
The wife brandished the knife and shouted, "Hurry up! ’
Of course, Granny Yu won't leave. She and her wife are very affectionate, and after nearly 40 years of tea, rice, oil and salt, they have always respected each other. If there are no accidents, the two should go to the end of their lives together and live in the same tomb again.
However, the Beihu people ruined all this. In the next moment, she saw the flying pillars of blood with her own eyes, and heard the hoarse roar of his wife, who was still haunting the Beihu soldier when he fell.
Granny Yu didn't want to live anymore. She grabbed a flower pot and pounced on the Beihu people, but before she could throw out the flower pots, she was kicked out by the Hu people.
She hit her head against the wall and was unconscious. Because of this, she escaped the fate of being slaughtered, and did not see the tragic picture of the loss of her loved ones.
When she woke up, it was all over.
The little grandson was pulled out of the rice jar. His eyes stared blankly at the blue sky, and his intestines had flowed out of his body.
The wife who had shed a pool of blood was silent. The young granddaughter was lying on the edge of the well, her clothes torn and her face covered with tears. Perhaps, in desperation, she tried to struggle and jump, but for various reasons she couldn't.
This is just one of the thousands of tragedies in Linzhou City that day......"
Li Gou'er clenched the newspaper in his hand, and the tea customers around him cast surprised glances.
