Chapter 24: The Only Reader (Subscription Requested)

Although I feel that Howard's appearance is very embarrassing.

But Li Muran can understand Howard's feelings.

As a home, having the support of readers is such a touching thing.

Li Muran also wrote, and he also knows how important it is to have the support of readers.

It's not just a motivation to write down, it's a great sense of accomplishment.

That's probably what 'writing for one person' feels like.

According to Howard, Li Muran seems to be Howard's first reader in the true sense of the word.

Li Muran's behavior moved Howard quite a lot.

Howard cried a handful of snot and a handful of tears.

It took a while to regain calm.

Li Muran also took this opportunity to chat with Howard about some things he wanted to know.

When Howard wrote this, it was a long time ago.

Why did you choose to write in this era when books are extremely expensive?

Howard said he didn't know it himself.

I felt a voice in my head, or it was just an impulse, and I started writing.

Talking about this topic, Howard was like a child talking about dreams, and for the first time a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Has the benefactor ever encountered such a situation. It's just that something interesting will pop up in my head. During that time, my head was full of these thoughts. I think it's funny. Just think about it, and it will be pleasant. I want to share these interesting things with others. This is the junior high school where I wrote my book. ”

How could it not be.

Anyone who writes will have this kind of thought.

Stories are like an eraser that keeps spinning around in your head.

Share the story so that others other than yourself can feel the joy.

This should be the common idea of all families.

"Of course, there are also ideas that I want to make a blockbuster, and then make a lot of money for my family, take the opportunity to glorify my ancestors, and let my family look up to me. Unfortunately, it backfired. It's hard to write well. It's harder to write a blockbuster. ”

Speaking of this, Li Muran, who was disgusted with Howard just now and felt that he was also a troublemaker, nodded seriously.

On something, the two resonated.

"That's right. Write a dead end. Not only can you not support yourself, but you may also put a lot of time and energy into it. This is a true portrayal of the ideal is beautiful and the reality is very skinny. ”

Li Muran and Howard looked at each other and clasped their hands together.

Bella couldn't understand this kind of affection between men, and had lost interest in Howard, blinking her eyes wide and looking at something else.

In addition to writing about his feelings, Howard said a lot more.

This book, as Li Muran guessed, is really self-funded.

No wonder you can't find it in bookstores.

"The cost of publishing a book is so high. How could there be a print of such a book. ”

"The same goes for books. If I were the owner of a bookstore, I would never allow this kind of book to enter my store. ”

"Benefactor, what you said is too blunt. It's a blow to my confidence. Believe it or not, I'll hang myself to show you. It's a shame that you're still my only reader, and you don't think about being considered at all. ”

Bella, who was playing with bugs with a stick, nodded in agreement with Howard.

Li Muran is like this. He has to consider the feelings of others, so it's not Li Muran. ”

Although they had just met, Bella and Howard reached a consensus on who Li Muran was.

"I'm easy to talk about. Even if you have to publish a book at your own expense, you are good enough. ”

Li Muran looked at Howard dressed as a beggar.

It's hard to get a book out like this.

Either a head iron, or a defender of ideals who is desperate for his dreams.

Li Muran felt that Howard was not the latter.

Howard smiled wryly.

"Speaking of head iron, I don't deny it. Who is not a teenager with dreams. Young people just do things that don't think about it when their heads are hot. If you are not angry, are you still called a young man? ”

"That's right."

This kind of mistake is something that people make on the way to growth.

When a scheming wise man still has a horse and a stumble, let alone a young man who is not deeply involved in the world and does not understand many things.

As an educator, Li Muran also agrees with Howard's statement.

When it comes to stupid things, his own crumb demon and pants peeing demon have done a lot more than Howard.

Howard: It's a bit irrational to dream.

The stupid things they did didn't even touch the edge of their dreams, they were just stupid.

The demon kings of their own country are not qualified to compare with Howard at all.

"I thought that I could make a lot of money in this way, maybe I could glorify my ancestors and win glory for my family. Now it seems that things are still thought of too well, eunuch but. And at that time, the conditions in my home were not bad. It can stand my toss. I didn't ask my parents for this money, I saved it by frugality. ”

"Oh. That's right. ”

That Howard's situation was much better than that of the Crumbs.

It's good that people pay for themselves, and they don't add to the burden on the family.

Unlike the crumbs demon kings, as soon as things can't be done, they will come to 'Dora Muran'.

I look like I'm a matter of course for 'Wild Bibella'.

will cause trouble for others.

Li Muran also took out the remnant of the book and let Howard read it.

Howard looked at the remnants with emotion and said that this was 'the starting point of the intertwining of fates'.

If it is written, it will come when you open your mouth.

Also pull the 'starting point'.

How did he know that Li Muran had a 'starting point'?

He knew so much, Li Muran had to wonder if he was really destined to know this guy.

"I miss it so much. The book turned out to be tossed and turned, and finally fell to the benefactor who was injured. This book has really gone through a lot and is a 'story' in itself. ”

"Speaking of which, I've always been curious. Aren't books expensive? It should only spread in aristocratic circles. Why did your book run to the village. I don't think the villagers have a habit of reading books. ”

With that, Howard grinned and clutched at his unkempt hair.

"This one. When our family went bankrupt, we fired our servants. After all, my family is only a low-class nobleman, and the servants are all poor people from the countryside. At that time, there was no money to pay severance pay, so I gave them what I thought was the most precious thing as severance pay. After all, this book is my brainchild, and it is like a child to me. They are second only to my life to me. Fortunately, none of the 50 books at my own expense were sold, so the severance pay was sufficient. ”

Li Muran listened and pushed down his glasses expressionlessly.

"I guess the servants were looking for you frantically when they left."

"How does the benefactor know? Did you see it with your own eyes? Indeed, as the benefactor said, everyone was very excited. ”

No, no, no. How could Li Muran see it with his own eyes?

Just be emotionally involved and think about the scene Howard is talking about.

You can guess right away.

It's not hard.

Howard nodded meaningfully.

"After all, the master and servant, everyone must be reluctant to leave me. will desperately look for me. At that time, I was also afraid that I would be reluctant to meet again, and I was afraid that I would not be able to make up my mind to part if we met again, so I hid and didn't see everyone for the last time. Shouldn't I meet with everyone? ”

Other.

Thankfully, I didn't see it.

If they meet, there will be no chance for Li Muran and Howard to meet after that.

Howard will surely be torn to shreds by the 'passionate' servants.

This guy completely misunderstood.

Everyone was excited not by cherishing the feelings of the master and servant, but by Howard with the words "about me being accidentally invincible, defeating the bastard as an enemy of feud, and marrying a princess" as a severance pay to send everyone away.

Everyone must have thought the same thing at the time.

It's to kill Howard.

In the position of the servants, Li Muran would have been excited to look for Howard at the beginning. Then touch him.

This thing, in Howard's opinion, is really a treasure.

But in the eyes of employers, it is worthless garbage.

Using this kind of thing as collateral for severance pay is the same as the nature of the contractor making a white slip to owe the wages of the workers.

Howard was lucky to be able to escape.

In addition to throwing away the pity, leaving meaningless excess inventory, and sending off the dismissed servants, it is a double win.

I don't know if this guy is really stupid, or if it's the nature of the capitalist in disguise.

But from Howard, I saw the same aura of wisdom as Bella and Tinali.

Li Muran felt that it was too much to overestimate Howard to come up with the above content.

Speaking of a thousand and ten thousand, this guy is just a low-level nobleman.

Also bankrupt.

It's not for nothing that you can't be like Sam.

"I really like to write stories. For a while, I made it my calling. Although everyone says that I don't do the right thing, I don't learn anything. It would be a waste to say that I had learned the ability to read and write from the aristocratic academy for this kind of thing. I never had any expectations for my choice. But I still love writing stories like this. It's the best feeling to communicate with the characters in the book and watch them grow. It feels like it's my calling. Only when I write a book can I forget all my worries. ”

The topic is inexplicably on writing a book. Howard talked eloquently, although it was something that made him fail in his life and leave a bad record, but he was very happy.

There was no unpleasantness in the words, no complaints about the fact that the book had been written.

On the contrary, I think it is the most meaningful thing in life.

It's something that really makes Howard feel self-worth and happy.

As you can tell, Howard loves to write and never regrets it.

Speaking of this, Li Muran was also a little moved.

Then it's time to throw an olive branch.

"I also appreciate Howard's talent."

"Really, it's so satisfying to hear that. I feel dead and have no regrets. Thank you so much. ”

"I don't just appreciate Howard's talent. Howard's value is also recognized. I would love to see Howard continue to write books. You can write a book for me. That's why I've come to you all the way to find you. ”

Howard showed a very touched expression, which made Li Muran worry that he would die in the next second.

"It's so fun. It's happier than getting silver from you. Finally someone recognized me. It felt like a dream that had been going through too long and too painful. But the dream has finally come true. ”
