Chapter 12: Shackles

I have to admit that by the time I heard this, my heart was shaken. I don't know if it was because the old man in the black coat touched me with his love for his little granddaughter, or if his friendship with the old man moved me. At one point that made my heart beat, I suddenly began to believe that the story told by the old man in the black coat was true. But I still had some doubts in my heart that had to be solved, so I changed my words and said to Lao Lu: "Old man, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not. ”

Lao Lu said, "Please speak." ”

I said, "First of all, it stands to reason that your current status is actually compared to that of a wanted criminal, that is, the difference between a cucumber and an eggplant." But not only do you not hide anything from me, an outsider, but you know everything and say everything. Aren't you afraid that I will go to the police station to report you? Secondly, you are from Hebei, why did you appear in Fujian? ”

Lao Lu was silent for a while and slowly spoke: "Your name is Mo Huoyu, right?" ”

I was surprised and asked, "How do you know my name?" ”

Lao Lu said: "You wrote a book called "Shackles", right? ”

I frowned slightly: "You really knew me from the beginning." ”

Shackles is a published novel I wrote in 2011. When I heard the name of the book mentioned, my face was more of an embarrassing embarrassment than surprise. I remember that year I used to brag to people that the business I am doing now is essentially no different from the China Space Agency, because the space agency launches about five rockets a year, and the sales of my book "Shackles" are also very stable at around five copies a year.

Although the profit brought to me by the book "Shackles" almost made me almost go to the song hall to sell my ass that year, but to be honest, this book is actually a good book, and its literary depth surpasses almost all my works, but it is precisely because of this that it was the first time in my life that I did not throw away the recruitment flyer of the male publicist.

The book "Shackles" is mainly about the conflict between law and human nature.

The opening story tells the story of a woman who has been subjected to domestic violence for more than ten years, and killed her vicious husband by mistake on an unbearable day. My editor, Sister Pudding, gave me the plan for the book and told me that no matter what I did in the book, the final ending must be on the side of the woman. That's why I keep criticizing the blind spots of various laws in my book, and trumpeting that the law cannot be above human nature.

Of course, I won't talk much about this "Shackles" here. Because of the discussion of such purely literary books, let alone you, even I am sleepy. But I don't understand why Lao Lu brought up this book? Could it be that this old guy has run away by himself and can still find time to check my water meter?

At this time, I saw Lao Lu sigh and said sincerely: "Alas, this book is really well written, every word and every sentence deeply touches me, I can't help but ask myself when I read this book, how much courage and responsibility does a person have to write such a good book with strong criticism?" I was really impressed. ”

Lao Lu's words directly blinded me, and this is the first time I have heard someone praise this book.

He continued: "It was because I read your book that I decided to approach you. When he said this, his eyes couldn't help but turn to the round "scale" on the ground, and said to me sadly: "I snatched the jade of the living dead from the old man's hand just to save my little granddaughter, but unfortunately God doesn't open his eyes, I may have to walk in front of her." The doctor said that I was in the advanced stage of liver cancer, and my weight became like this because the abdominal cavity was full of fluid accumulation, but I knew that this was not any fucking advanced liver cancer at all, but because of the "yin and yang pot". ”

Lao Lu lit a cigarette heavily, and continued: "I know my own body best, I can't live for a few days." My old Lu is over seventy years old, and he has already lived enough, but once I die, what will happen to my little granddaughter on the hospital bed. ”

When he said this, his nose was sour and he couldn't help crying. After taking two puffs of cigarette vigorously, Lao Lu took out a bank card from his pocket. He gently placed the card on the table and pushed it in front of me. When I saw this scene, I blinked a pair of eyes full of question marks, and I pondered for a long time but I didn't understand what Lao Lu meant.

At this time, he said: "I have a few candidates in mind, but when I think about it, my name keeps coming to mind for some reason. Although you and I didn't know each other before, I always felt that there was a "shackle" pulling you and me in the dark. So I decided to come to Fujian to see for myself what kind of person was who could write the book "Shackles". When I first saw you by the lake, I knew that you were the one who could entrust me with everything. ”

When I heard this, I finally understood what had happened in the past month.

At this moment, I can't cry or laugh.

I really want to tell Lao Lu that in fact, the book "Shackles" is not what I thought at all, it was discussed by the publishing house at a morning meeting, and they found a writer who is good at this kind of writing skills to write after they thought of the subject, so in essence, I am a part-time worker.

Because of the "Shackles", which sold less than rockets, Lao Lu had a special feeling for me, the author behind the scenes, and he did not hesitate to find me all the way to find me, and secretly observed for a long time, and finally he decided to entrust me with all the things after his death. I really want to cry without tears, it's not that there are fewer secondary two teenagers, but they are getting older.

But I was wrong.

Lao Lu's next words made me understand that he was not a second-year teenager.

This old guy has already figured out how to trick me.

He said, "You can do something for me." ”

I shook my head: "Old man, you better find someone else." Let's meet in Pingshui, entrust the future to such a big thing, how can you hand it over to me as an outsider. You can innovate, but I can't fool around with you. ”

He said, "Why don't you even listen?" ”

I said, "Then you don't need to ask, you must want me to take care of your little granddaughter for you, right?" ”

He said, "Yes, you're smart. ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Old man, don't you make a fool of yourself." I invite you to go to the East Second Gate to eat a bowl of stewed stew and let's disperse, I really convinced you. I've seen a porcelain bumper car, but I haven't seen a sick person. Let me say something you don't like to hear, your granddaughter is the flesh of your heart to you, the pearl in your palm, but to me she is a stranger, I can't support myself anymore, how can I help you raise your little granddaughter. You can't morally kidnap me just because I wrote "Shackles". ”
