Chapter subtitle: It's too hot today!

This broken system is so annoying, Lao Tzu hums a little song and has to interfere, I really want to kick it off!

Forget it, don't worry about him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoLet's ask the adults who love craftsmanship what they think.

Our Master Yuan shook his hands and bounced back to the study, and saw Mr. Ai Yi and Mr. Chandler reading the manuscript of "A Song of Ice and Fire" intently, and he did not even notice that he had entered the room.

"Ahem, Mr. Lovecraft, and Yuri, what do you think of this book?"

"Mr. Lovecraft! Yuri! ”

He raised his voice again to wake up the two readers who were immersed in the story.

"Yuan, Yuan, Mr. Yuan, this, this, is this really what you wrote?"

The master of horror novels is worthy of being a master of horror novels, and he doesn't need to see the main plot, just read the beginning to understand the power of "A Song of Ice and Fire".

Keep in mind that writing in English is also about writing...... Writing ...... Written!

If you read the original English novel, you will find that George Martin is almost stingy in his words, and the descriptive text is just right. And he rarely uses complex sentences, but the "golden sentences" in the book are innumerable. The whole book is clean and smooth.

For the average English-speaking Chinese reader, A Song of Ice and Fire is more troublesome about the proper nouns of various clothes, food, and weapons, as well as the names of the clans and people of the major families.

If you compare it with the series written by Aunt J.K. Rowling, another 21st-century red book, Harry Potter, which claims to be "children's literature", has procrastinated language, complicated sentences, poor rhythm, and is even more unfriendly to readers. In fact, the few books after "Harry Potter" became popular, probably because Aunt Rowling was paid according to the number of words, so there was a big problem, that is, ...... Affusion.

In terms of the writing of the two books alone, it is really easy to tell at a glance between a real writer and an amateur who has become a halfway monk. (Author's note: Murong did read a little of the original English version.) So this is all my own summary, don't laugh at the Fang family. ）

And the style of the authors of this era is even more "refined", not to mention the crazy baroque style of the master of craftsmanship, the mainstream authors are a bit intellectual, and they can't help but use a little elegant and obscure vocabulary and complex and lengthy sentences. That's why authors with more modest styles, such as Dickens, Mark Twain, and Jack London, are so popular.

In fact, literature, like all other disciplines, has progressed with the times.

Yuan Yanqian frowned and asked, "Mr. Ai Craftsman, may I ask if I didn't write it, so who else could write it?" ”

"Yes and no...... Don't get me wrong, Mr. Yuan. That was not what I meant. "The lovers also knew that they had asked a stupid question.

He said embarrassedly, "I just thought it was too surprised. I didn't expect you to write such a text, Mr. Yuan. Compared to your previous two novels, this one is so different! ”

Our Master Yuan naturally had already thought of a reason, and he smiled slightly: "No wonder you think so, in fact, this is me trying a different writing style." So it looks a little different. ”

Master Ai Craft said excitedly: "Mr. Yuan, I am not complimenting you in person. But I have to say, you're really a genius. ”

"With this book alone, you can become one of the greatest writers of our time!"

Why else is it one of them, Lao Tzu must be the greatest writer of our time. I'm not the greatest, and it's certainly the people of the whole world who are blind.

Yuan Yanqian said modestly with a shy smile: "Hahaha, you have a good reputation." ”

At this time, little Mr. Chandler also spoke: "Neo, although I am a layman in literature and art, I know that Mr. Love Craft is right, this novel must be a big hit!" ”

Isn't this nonsense, if it's not popular, why did I spend a full 60,000 B coins to smoke this "A Song of Ice and Fire"?

"Hahaha, then I'll borrow your auspicious words."

Our Master Yuan invited, "Two gentlemen, let's go out to dinner." Of course, I have a treat, and it can be regarded as a pick-up for Mr. Ai Craft. ”

Master Ai Craft immediately said, "No, Mr. Yuan. I beg your pardon for rejecting your kindness, I want to read on. ”

Julian chimed in, "Yes, Neo. I didn't have the heart to eat anything after reading this beginning. Anyway, there is food at home, so I won't go out with you. ”

"Hmm...... That's right. Then you can take your time. ”

Yuan Yanqian walked out of the study and raised her hand to look at her watch, it was almost four o'clock now. So he decided to go out for a walk and eat by himself.

After dinner, it's been three days in a month. Although he doesn't like those vulgar fans in Chinatown now, he can't take care of them when he is hungry. He had just been ...... by a Japanese teacher Well, my friend warmed it up,

"That Chinese came out, you two got out of the car and followed!" Let's drive slower and don't be noticed by him. ”

MR. WYLTON AYDEN, CAPTAIN OF BOI...... Now it's a private investigator in the Pinkerton Detective Agency who is on a surveillance mission, and the target is none other than our Master Yuan.

In fact, our ZOD general chose to become a private investigator is a right decision. This is because the Pinkerton Detective Agency is in the process of transforming into a true "detective agency". In recent years, with the advent of the glory of World War I, labor-management relations have eased a lot; The vigorous supervision of public opinion has made the social cost of the big capitalists' armed suppression higher and higher; Various business activities require a great deal of investigative work; In addition, the Indians have been almost killed, and now they are all staying in the reserve.

These factors add up, and the detective agency's business begins to shift to commercial investigations. In fact, the most awesome detectives in the United States are not in the BOI or FBI at all, but in the investigation of insurance claims. (note 1)

Therefore, they no longer need people to fight and kill, but they need professionals like General ZOD to carry out case investigation.

His mission was not an order from the Democratic administration or the Justice Department, but a private assignment from the Pinkerton Detective Agency, in which the client asked for detailed records of his recent life in addition to knowing the details of Yuan's life.

Of course, Mr. Aiden didn't know who the client was, but when he saw that the target was Yuan Yanqian, he volunteered to be the head of the surveillance team.

Our Master Yuan naturally didn't know anything about this. He was also untrained as a professional agent, and was recently followed to the New York Public Library after his guard was recently lowered by the hospitalization of the two anarchist fighters.

Note 1: I don't know if anyone has seen an old movie made in 1946 "The Postman Always Rings the Bell Twice". As mentioned in this film, if the insurance detective can't find anything, then the police don't have to count on it.
