I bypassed Fang Ruoxi, who was still asleep, and walked towards Lin Ya and Li Sheng's position, and glanced at Lin Chang, who was cutting the meat into small pieces.

After talking to Yu Pu just now, I also told Yu Pu that it was Lin Chang who stole the gun and handed it to Chen Si, and that Chen Si shot and killed Wang Haobo. Yu Pu just nodded and he knew, let me be careful of Lin Chang, and didn't say anything else.

Walking to Lin Ya's side, Li Sheng noticed my approach, looked up at me and smiled.

I smiled back at him, sat down next to Lin Ya, and stretched out my hand to Li Sheng to signal him to hand me the fabric.

"I'll come, you can rest for a while." I said with a smile, "You were also tired from moving that raft before, come back and take care of Lin Ya, I'll help him cool down, you can rest for a while." ”

"It's fine, it's not a lot of work." Li Sheng shook his head and signaled no.

However, at my insistence, Li Sheng finally gave me the fabric. I poured water to moisten the cloth and wiped it on Lin Ya's neck, arms, and chest.

"By the way, we were interrupted in the middle of our chat last time." I remembered what Li Sheng said before that he was Mo Zichen, and I couldn't help but confirm, "You really have to be that well-known suspense master, Mo Zichen Teacher Mo?" ”

Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Ah, it's really me, do you like my books very much?" ”

I nodded, "I really like it, I think your character portrayal and plot design are very good, especially in the design of suspense points, every time I can't help but guess the truth, but I haven't guessed correctly." ”

"Haha" Li Sheng seemed to think my words were funny, and couldn't help laughing, and after the laughter, he said, "Isn't general suspense like this?" The reader can never guess the truth. ”

"Well, it's still different." I thought about it sideways, "How to say it, although generally speaking, suspense will not let readers guess the truth, but many of them are deliberately set up to hunt for a curious truth, which is logically far-fetched, if you read it a second time after knowing the truth, you will not be attracted anymore, and there will be no new feelings." ”

"But your book is different!" I looked at Li Sheng with a warm look in my eyes, "Your book is very well designed in terms of suspense, and when you read it again after knowing the truth, you will find many details that you didn't notice before!" There are actually a lot of these details, scattered in different places, and expressed in different ways, it may be just a sentence, an action, or a simple scene. I didn't notice it at all when I first watched it, but it was a clue that pointed to the truth. ”

"Oh?" Li Sheng also looked a little surprised, "Have you noticed those details?" I often feel that the details of my design are a bit wasteful, and most of them go unnoticed. ”

"How come," I shook my head, "those details are so ingenious, seemingly unrelated and prosaic, but when put together, they accurately point out the truth." Every time I re-read it, I find those details again, and I have to read a book at least five times or so to find almost all the foreshadowing. ”

"Do you look at it so many times just to find those details?" Li Sheng adjusted his posture slightly, and sat up straighter than just now, "I remember that you were even able to memorize my book, just to find out those details?" ”

"Ah, not really." I shook my head, "I guess I was able to memorize that book for some special reason, but I've read all of your books many times, and this is true." I don't just read those books to find out the details, but also to learn. ”

Li Sheng was a little surprised, and repeated suspiciously, "Study? ”

"Yes, learn." I nodded, "Learn the design of those suspense, learn how to lay it out, how to lay it out." I'm ashamed to say that I also write suspense, but it's far less famous than you, and a few books abroad are not bestsellers and still need to learn. ”

"It's a peer." Li Sheng smiled and asked with interest, "Then what is your pen name?" ”

"Ah pen name" I was a little embarrassed, I didn't expect to be asked for a pen name by my idol, "My pen name is Eleven Days." ”

"Eleventh day" Li Sheng repeated, and after thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly said, "Ah! I have an impression of this name! I've read the books you wrote! ”

"You've seen it!?" I was a little surprised, I didn't expect Li Sheng to actually read my book.

"Yes, I did." Li Sheng nodded, "You wrote "The World in the Brain", right?" ”

"That's right! Right, right! That's what I wrote! Have you really read my book? "I was pleasantly surprised.

Li Sheng nodded, "Yes, I have seen it, and I still have an impression of the content." Actually, your work is very good, but it lacks a little something. ”

"What's missing?" I humbly asked, "Is the writing not delicate enough?" Or is the plot not exciting enough? ”

"Neither." Li Sheng shook his head, "What you lack is a truth." ”

"Real?" Puzzled, I repeated, "Are you saying I'm false?" Doesn't make sense? ”

Li Sheng waved his hand, "No, no, no, no, that's not what it means." This truth means that the whole worldview you are depicting is not realistic enough. The worldview of your world is more like a fairy tale world. ”

"Fairy tales?" I frowned in confusion, "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

Li Sheng looked at me and shook his head, "You need to understand this yourself." Even if I explain it to you, I'm afraid you won't understand it now. All I can tell you is that if you really want to write suspense, then build a more realistic world. ”

"Build a more realistic world," I muttered, thinking about Li Sheng's words.

Since I am asked to construct the real world, does that mean that the world I originally depicted is false? Where is the falsehood? I've always felt that I'm strictly following logic, how can it be false?

I was thinking about this with my head down, and I heard Li Sheng say again.

"Speaking of which, you really surprised me."

I looked up at Li Sheng, and he had a smile on his face.

Li Sheng: "I never thought that someone would read my book so many times and study it so carefully. I have to say, I am very happy and satisfied, and I am very grateful for your appreciation of my work. ”

Li Sheng's words made me feel a little embarrassed, and I shook my head with a smile, but I didn't say anything. They're all storytellers, and I know how it feels. It's a very happy thing to meet someone who likes their own story, as if someone has read their own soul. If you have to meet a confidant in life, what a great blessing it should be.

Of course, I don't think I'm qualified to be Li Sheng's confidant.

"I once read a question, a question for writers."

Li Sheng's voice brought me back to my senses, and I turned my head to look at him and waited for him to continue.

When he noticed my gaze, he looked me in front and asked softly, "Is this the question, would you rather have one person read your book a hundred times, or would you rather have a hundred people each read your book once?" ”

A hundred times for one person or a hundred times for a hundred people? I was attracted by Li Sheng's question, blinked at him, and turned my head to think about it.

In fact, for people like me who make a living by writing, the more people who read my books, the better, because only by reading more people can I have more income. But from the perspective of a storyteller, a reader who understands me is far more precious and rare than hundreds or thousands of viewers.

I thought about it for a while before I replied softly, "Well, to be honest, I'd be very happy if someone could read my book a hundred times." But if I had to change a hundred readers to such a reader, I think I would need to think about it before I can make a decision. ”

"Consider?" Li Sheng seemed to find my answer interesting, "What kind of considerations?" ”

"Thinking about what a hundred readers means to me." I replied earnestly, "If I only have a hundred readers, and those hundred readers are all to me, then I don't think I'm willing to trade all my readers for one who is willing to read my book a hundred times." ”

"But if I had a thousand readers, I might think about swapping." I continued, "And if I had 10,000 readers, I think I'd be willing to swap." ”

"So, what is your answer?" Li Sheng looked at me with meaningful eyes.

I shrugged, "So my answer is that I hope that out of a hundred of my readers, there will be one person who is willing to read my book a hundred times." ”

"Heheheha"

Li Sheng couldn't help laughing, he shook his head while laughing, and laughed for a while before stopping, still with a smile on his face, "You kid, you're too greedy, aren't you?" ”

Even if Li Sheng said that he was greedy, I didn't feel the slightest shyness. He pursed his lips indifferently and tilted his head.

"Hey, people are always greedy, and they always hope that all the good things will be taken by themselves, and I just gave the answer in my heart. And as I said, if it's a two-choice question, I'll probably choose a hundred people. ”

Li Sheng shook his head, as if he was a little helpless, "I can understand why your worldview is like that, you kid is simply too frank." I've asked a lot of people the question just now, and you're the only one who chose a hundred people to answer it. ”

"The only one?" I was also a little surprised, "Is everyone willing to exchange all their readers for a confidant?" ”

"Yes, they do. At least they say they do. Li Sheng spread his hands towards me, "Because of any feelings, no matter the style, in short, those who can write can be regarded as literati, and literati always have some noble spirit, I haven't met anyone who gives an answer like you." ”

What this sentence means is that Li Sheng's answer to me is at least not ill-willing, right?

I blinked, thought for a moment, and asked, "What kind of answer would you give to the same question, Mr. Mo?" ”

"Me?" Li Sheng raised his eyebrows, "I"

Before he could finish his sentence, the conversation was interrupted by footsteps coming from the mouth of the cave, attracting our attention.

Lu Haisheng and Fu Lingjun are back.
