Chapter 18: A Chance Encounter on the Train
After listening to the old man's colorful introduction, Xing Tianyu couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable in his heart, and even a little unimaginable, this is mainly because the place where he lives is a coastal city near the sea, with a dense population, and the land is an extremely valuable industry, and it is impossible to imagine such a thing as an entire town being abandoned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, listening to the old man's words didn't seem like a joke, he had to say thank you, he paid twenty-five yuan for the ticket, and stuffed the remaining box of cigarettes to the old man, in the old man's repeated thanks, Xing Tianyu found a place by the window and sat down, waiting for the train to leave.
Glancing at the inside of the carriage, there was not a single passenger in the empty carriage, but it seemed that the old man's words were not unreasonable, and after waiting for a few minutes, just as the train was about to depart, two more passengers, a man and a woman, came up, and as soon as these two people got on the train, the train departed almost immediately.
"Thank goodness we finally caught it, it seems like the last train, and we had good luck today." Xing Tianyu heard the woman in the seat in front of him say.
"If you hadn't had to go for a barbecue, we'd be so late." The man spoke in strange Chinese, sounding like a foreigner.
"Hungry, fighting is a hard job, how to do it if you don't eat enough, you logistics staff can't understand it."
"I think you're greedy."
"What is this called, as if you have eaten less."
The two talked for a while, and suddenly switched to English conversation, and lowered their voices, Xing Tianyu was not interested in eavesdropping on the conversation between the two people, just looked at the scenery outside the window boredly.
Looking at the mountains on both sides of the railway being thrown behind the car one by one, looking at the lush mountains around him, I don't know if it is the relationship that the old man told just now, even the shape of these mountains in front of him seems strange, like a deformed giant beast lying prone in the night, Xing Tianyu feels that he is driving towards an unknown wilderness, only the vibration of the train below his butt makes him feel a little comforted.
Idle and bored, he took out a book from his backpack and was about to pass the time, but he didn't expect to open it and find that it was a book written by himself.
When I left, I was in a hurry and just stuffed two books casually.,I didn't notice it for a while.,Look at another one.,It's also a magic shadow series.,It's also depressed.,But it's very boring.,He has nothing to choose.,His own book is his own book.,Look at the novels you wrote in the past.,It's also quite interesting.。
Xing Tianyu thought about it and opened it and looked at it, this book is the first part of the Demon Trace, "The Book of the Evil Spirits of the Demon Trace", and it is also the first published work of Xing Tianyu himself, at that time, because he had just entered the industry, he was not very good at writing, and this book was largely borrowed from his experience in Daqingshan.
"You're also a fan of Lou Xingyu's books?"
A woman's voice suddenly interrupted Xing Tianyu's emotion, he looked up, but was slightly stunned, in front of him was a tall woman, estimated to be one meter eight tall, with a healthy figure, wearing a men's super-long windbreaker, with a slightly neutral appearance, although it was a woman, Xing Tianyu had a feeling of heroism, obviously without makeup, and his wheat-colored skin looked like he should often exercise outdoors, which would be inserted into his waist, looking at him with blazing eyes.
Xing Tianyu was a little surprised, it was the first time he had seen such a woman, the young women he saw on weekdays were typical urban women, generally fair-skinned and lacking in exercise, even if there were occasionally a few who liked fitness, at most they were just for weight loss, and I had hardly seen an athletic woman like this in front of me.
After a moment's distraction, the woman repeated her question again.
"What?"
"I mean, do you like this Lou Xingyu novel too?" Lou Xingyu is the pen name he used when he wrote about the Demon Trace.
"Uh, yes, almost." Xing Tianyu said.
"Ha, that's a coincidence, I like this series too," the woman said indiscriminately, taking a seat across from him, "can you lend me a look?" ”
"Well, of course." It is rare to meet his book lover on the way to travel, Xing Tianyu was a little surprised and happy.
The woman took it and looked at it, "Hey, this is the first edition of yours, I remember that this edition was only printed in 5,000 copies, and it is very collectible." ”
Xing Tianyu nodded, at that time, because he was a rookie author and was not well-known, only 5,000 copies of this edition were printed, and later when the later books gradually became popular, another edition was printed.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you, I still have it in my hand."
"Thank you very much!" The woman said excitedly when she heard this.
"Why do you like this man's book?" Looking at the woman's look of finding a treasure, Xing Tianyu couldn't help but ask.
The woman thought for a while, "Of course there is a reason, his writing, can only be said to be average, but the details in his book are in place, and there will be fewer loopholes, believe me, I have read a lot of books of this type, you don't know how bad the common sense of those authors can be, his book is absolutely excellent."
But what attracted me the most was his sense of immersion, and his knowledge of the occult, which the author had obviously studied, and there was a lot of very real information in the book, a lot of things that ordinary people couldn't reach. ”
Xing Tianyu was a little surprised, in fact, when he wrote this book, he did refer to some information obtained from the dialogue between the demigod Barros and the Sphinx, as well as the additional knowledge and inspiration obtained from reading the book of the other world, although he did not dare to write down the details related to the summoning ritual and those other worlds, but it was very common to change the face, or use some not very sensitive information to describe it in vague terms.
This is also a point that he is extremely complacent, but unfortunately few people can see the mystery, but he didn't expect to be pointed out by a woman he met unexpectedly today.
"What do you do? Listen to your tone and seem to be very knowledgeable. Xing Tianyu asked suspiciously.
The woman was indeed full of nonsense: "I'm an archaeologist, have you seen Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones, it's basically taken according to my deeds." ”
(That Indiana Jones is a man, right, and how many years ago was that movie?) Xing Tianyu secretly complained in his heart, "Are you sure you are really an archaeologist?" So what do you usually do? ”
"What are you doing, of course, digging holes, digging bones, and fighting monsters." As she spoke, the woman herself laughed, "Hehe, just kidding." ”
The woman said, looking out the window at the night and the mountains in the distance, and suddenly a wistful smile appeared on her face, as if to say to herself, "But if I really want to be an archaeologist, man, can you imagine that picture." ”
Xing Tianyu's mind suddenly appeared with a picture of a female archaeologist exploring the ancient tomb with a whip, but speaking of it, it was surprisingly no sense of disobedience.
"So what the hell are you doing?"
The woman smiled and shook her head, "Man, I think you'd better not know about this, and even if you do, you probably won't believe it." ”
