"The young man is here, what to eat today."

Today I went to the restaurant two streets away from the house,

Walking into the restaurant, the restaurateur was already sitting at a table eating.

Seeing Ji Zhuo walk into the restaurant, he quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and greeted again.

During this time, Ji Zhuo often came to this restaurant, and the restaurant owner was already familiar with him.

"Stir-fry shredded potatoes and stir-fry meat."

Ji Zhuo turned his head and looked at the restaurant that was already a little quiet at this time, and sat down in the window position where he usually sits.

"Okay, young man, you sit down first, and I'll go fry you."

The restaurant owner smiled and responded, and went into the kitchen again without continuing to eat.

Ji Zhuo nodded,

Sitting at a dining table, while waiting for the food to come,

While taking out his mobile phone again, he looked at the chat history of several groups on his phone.

'Era coincidence' book friend group.

"Once in the sea: the end of the flowers! Finished chasing a book by the dog author again!

Wuhu Takeoff: Chasing "Revive Cthulhu" every day, chasing more for months, and now it's suddenly over, it's really a bit of a loss.

300,000 per second: It's okay, the dog author will continue to chase after the next book. It shouldn't be long, right?

300,000 per second: should ......

Canyon Shengcao: Everyone has given me support, this book has become so popular so far, and there is also a credit for your sincere cooperation and hard publicity! ”

Yes, this book has come to this point, and none of you can escape it.

Ji Zhuo looked at the chat in the book friend group and said secretly,

snatched a celebratory red envelope from a reader in the group, and Ji Zhuo slipped away again.

"Half-pounced: Speaking of which, I have to thank the 'clumsy and extraordinary' boss. I also opened a new book with Cthulhu elements, and the results are not bad now.

Half-pounced: @拙而不凡.

New book opening: Recently, the first reading was brought up by the clumsy and extraordinary big guy and the squid, and the Cthulhu theme is very popular in the first reading. I want to open a new book with a Cthulhu theme, and rub off on the popularity of the big guys.

Squid: Don't. Mainly relied on the popularity brought up by clumsy and extraordinary bigwigs. I'm only in the middle of my book.

Half-pounced: ......

It's me hitting the streets:......

New Book Update: ......

A salted fish to turn over: Ah!! It turned out to be a squid giant! I'm dead!

It's me who hits the streets: Ahhhh I can actually see the squid giant talking in the group, and the Sprinkle family is worth it in this life.

New Book Update: Ahhhh +1”

The group unexpectedly re-read.,A chat in the group always ends with a re-reading.,

After all, the author of sand sculpture, the essence of sand sculpture group friends is a repeater.

"Squid: ......

Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......"

No, the book is finished, and you still have to poke my heart again?

Forget it, the books are all finished, it's okay, it's okay.

I have a good attitude,

It's all about making money, and I have a good mentality.

Gan!

"A salted fish is about to turn over: ah, it's the squid giant and the clumsy giant who appear at the same time, and I'm dead!

New book update: Ah, it's squid ......+1"

The group re-read it again,

I saw that Ji was helpless.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: I said it all, thank you for sending red envelopes directly, don't just say it."

"Half pounced: [Red Envelope]"

Leaving the next sentence, Ji Zhuo was ready to slip away, and saw that someone really sent red envelopes,

By the way, I touched a hand,

One look at 0.01, ten red envelopes for a dime.

Ji Zhuo slipped away directly.

……

When I looked up, I was still thinking about the stir-frying sound of stir-fry in the back kitchen of the restaurant.

The dish is not ready to come up,

Lifting the kettle next to him, he took a sip of water when he reached the glass.

At this time, the phone rang again,

The squid who showed his traces in the group just now sent a private chat message.

"Squid: The big guy "Revival Cthulhu" is finished, and it will be completed in less than two million words? I think there's still a lot of space to expand, right?

Clumsy and extraordinary: If you don't want water, you're done.

Squid: I feel that there is a connotation to ......

Clumsy and extraordinary: Isn't it, where do you count water? It's not water if there's content.

Squid: Thank you, big guy, for the compliment.

Squid: What theme is the big guy's new book going to be released, and when will it be released?

Clumsy and extraordinary: realistic themes. Big guy wants to be together? ”

Hehe, I don't believe it, I write a new book on realistic themes, who else can make me fly suddenly?

Ji Zhuo replied like this, and the squid didn't reply for a long time,

may be confused, it may be that I can't understand what Ji Zhuo thinks when I scratch my head, and the new book discovers the real theme.

"Squid: I don't dare, even though I want to keep challenging myself to get out of my comfort zone. But the subject of reality, I really don't have much confidence in writing about it.

Squid: Thumbs up.jpg, admire.

Squid: The big guy dares to touch the reality classification, which is really admirable. The new book is definitely supportive. ”

Seeing that the squid replied to several messages in a row, Ji Zhuo seemed to be able to see the squid's confusion through the screen,

Ji Zhuo sneered,

Oh, don't you dare to follow.

I'm stunned, can you still give me a chapter push this time to take me flying?

Who would normally have thought that I would write a fantasy Cthulhu theme that would become popular, and then go to write a reality classification to hit the streets?

Oh, I never care about whether I write a book or not.

Anyway, the master is earning,

You can also make a lot of money by posting it in the reality category!

……

“…… The dishes are coming, do you want to have a meal? ”

poked the mobile phone screen again, and blew a few words with the squid business,

The restaurateur also stir-fried Ji Zhuo's dish and brought it up.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

After drinking a sip of water, Ji Zhuo took the chopsticks and began to eat,

The restaurant owner next to him gave Ji Zhuo a meal, and went back to the previous table to continue eating.

"Boss, you're the only one taking care of this restaurant?"

"My wife died early, my son studied in the capital, and I didn't come back until winter and summer vacations on weekdays, so naturally I took care of it alone. When I couldn't get busy, I hired two helpers, but business was weak in the past two days, and I was alone. ”

While eating, Ji Zhuo also casually chatted with the restaurant owner at the next table,

For this kind of relatively strange person, Ji is always not afraid of life when talking about the world. On the contrary, they talked about embarrassment half-familiarly.

“…… That's right. By the way, boss, I want to ask you something. ”

"You say."

"It's the children from the Guangming Welfare Institute I saw in your store some time ago, haven't you seen much in the past few days?"

"The children in the welfare home, are all brought out by a few welfare house helpers at their own expense, the welfare home does not have so much money, take them out to play at every turn, where do you get so much money, do you say, they themselves don't have much money, they may take them out for a walk on weekdays, familiar with the surrounding environment of the welfare home, especially those who are blind, if they are not familiar with the environment, when they are older, they will not be able to go out."

"Young man, why are you asking this?"

“…… It's okay, it's just a little curious, right. Their Bright Welfare House isn't far from here, right? ”

"Not far away, just follow this street, and then go forward, turn two corners, and it's in that alley that is a little out of the way, and there is a sign hanging at the door."

Ji Zhuo listened to the restaurant owner's words, nodded, and didn't ask any more,

Bow your head and go on eating,

When he had finished eating, he got up and left.

Out of the restaurant door,

Ji Zhuo followed the direction that the restaurant owner pointed out earlier and looked forward,

This is the magic capital, and some of the infrastructure is still in place.

You can see the blind road on the side of the road, but you can see a manhole cover just across the road, which happens to be embedded in the blind road.

There is also a car parked on the side of the road, and the front of the car is pressing against the blind road.

Ji Zhuo turned his head and stepped on the blind road,

I closed my eyes, and my vision became dark.

Ji Zhuo stretched out his hand and tried to move forward,

After taking two steps, he followed and stopped,

He was a little scared in his heart.

When he closed his eyes, he didn't know what was in front of him.

I opened my eyes, and I didn't go to the welfare house.

Ji Zhuo walked back to his residence.

……

“…… Crackling......"

Late at night.

The night is still brightened by the bustling lights of the city,

But after all, it was much quieter than in the daytime.

Ji Zhuo was in the study, and every time he moved his feet, he could hear the sound of rustling.

Sitting in front of the computer, the computer lights up the screen, showing the interface of the codeword software.

Ji Zhuo crackled a few times on the keyboard and then stopped again.

If it weren't for the fear of serious imbalance in work and rest, he still liked to code words in the middle of the night.

The silence of the night can soothe the irritability of the heart most of the time.

Looking at the codeword interface displayed on the computer screen, Ji Zhuo's hand was on the keyboard,

Although it is said that I am going to release this new book after a while,

But I didn't start writing again every once in a while.

Ji Zhuo knocked out the title of this new book on the theme of reality.

"The End of Light"

And then there's the introduction,

Ji Zhuo thought for a while,

Hands crackled on the keyboard, revised and revised, and typed out a brief introduction.

"Synopsis: Normally night falls after dusk, but when many people's alarm clocks go off the next day, there is no light that they usually see.

People staggered and stumbled out of tall buildings and buildings, and they could still feel the warmth of the sun falling on them, but it turned out that everyone was deprived of the vision of visible light.

Maybe it's a prank by some alien civilization, or maybe it's a change in some physical constant, so that people's eyes can no longer receive visible light, and they can no longer see the world intuitively.

Human civilization has become blind, which is the end of not seeing the light.

Where does humanity go from here, and how can humanity overcome this shortcoming? Revive strong in the dark. ”

This is probably a new book on realistic themes that Ji Zhuo is preparing to write.

is not only a realistic theme, but more precisely, it is more like a soft science fiction essay with science fiction elements in a realistic theme.

But Ji Zhuo looked at the introduction that was revised and changed at this time, and he was very dissatisfied.

He will write this novel well, because just by the realistic classification of this book, it is enough to finish.

And it's all about making money.

Looking at this introduction,

Ji Zhuo frowned a little,

He knows what he wants to write,

Since he is writing about realistic subjects, he must want to write something meaningful and valuable.

Maybe the point of the system is to encourage him to write such unflattering things?

However, a good work,

It shouldn't be too preachy, but it should be flat and straightforward, telling its own story,

Readers naturally have their own reflections.

Rather than shoehorning their own ideas directly into the reader's head.

No one likes to be constantly preached to them.

But now in this introduction,

Although it is telling a doomsday story,

But it's still too didactic.

Ji Zhuo looked at this introduction, a little irritable,

He just felt like the profile was shit, rubbish.

Slightly irritated,

Deleted this introduction back and forth,

Ji Zhuo stopped tapping on the keyboard,

There are no better ideas for the time being.

Rubbing his somewhat swollen brow, his temples,

Ji Zhuo directly buttoned the laptop back up and stood up again from the desk,

“…… It's hard work to write a book about reality! It's harder to write than a Cthulhu novel. ”

“…… Whew......"

Ji Zhuo complained, walked to the window, and let out a long breath,

I feel that after the writing of this realistic theme is finished,

Or don't write this kind of thing, isn't it fragrant to write a street online novel, writing this kind of thing gives me a headache to write, and I find guilt for myself.

Gan!

"Sleep!"

Out of the study, Ji Zhuo threw himself on the bed in the bedroom.

……

"I'm Mortal: Did the Dog Author Open a New Book?

Zeng Canghai: No, the first thing I do when I get up every day, I start reading the network, open the writer's homepage of the dog author, and refresh it, well, there are no new books, and I quit reading.

Canyon Grass: Waiting for the new book of the dog author is almost long grass, and recently I have been watching "The Master of Mystery" by the squid. The same Cthulhu style as the dog author's previous book, you can still take a look. But the update is too slow, and I still want to be a dog author.

300,000 per second: It's been a few days, and there's no news, but it should be fast, right?

Take-off Wuhu: What are you anxious about? I'm not in a hurry. The dog author has been breaking up for so many months, and he has finally finished the book, and he can't rest, and he always needs time to write a new book. No hurry, no hurry...... I also watched the mortal cultivator and resuscitation Cthulhu twice......

Canyon Grass: I wonder what the dog author is doing now? Is it scratching your ears and cheeks for a new book in front of the computer? ”

……

"Editor: Big guy, did you say that you are writing a new book on realistic themes?

Clumsy and extraordinary: in writing, in writing.

Edit:......

Edit: Is there a section of the main article, can you send it to me?

Clumsy and extraordinary: in writing, in writing......

Edit:......

Editor: Boss, what stage is your new book progressing at?

Clumsy and Extraordinary: ...... Well, it's probably time to experience life.

Edit:??? ”

A few more days passed,

Ji Zhuo is in the Guangming Welfare Institute at this time,

Two days ago, he was about to come to this welfare home to walk around, and he saw an announcement on the door of the welfare home to recruit volunteers.

Volunteers, naturally, there is no salary, but to take care of the food, Ji Zhuo thought about it, and got in.

At this moment, at the door of the back kitchen of the canteen of the welfare home, Ji Zhuo looked at the news that the editor came back,

It seems that you can see the editor's head full of question marks through the screen.

You're not acting, and there's the experiential term.

“…… Xiao Ji, have you rinsed that lettuce slice, you want it in the pot. ”

At this time, the shout of the eldest sister of the staff sounded in the back kitchen,

Ji Zhuo could only quickly reply to the editor with another message, and then turned around and went into the kitchen again.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: Big guy, let's not talk about it first, the eldest sister in the back kitchen let me wash the vegetables.

Edit: ???"

"It's coming!"

Ji Zhuo answered as he went to the kitchen.

……

“…… Brother Ji Zhuo. I'll tell you, that's how the cane is used. ”

In the cafeteria of the welfare home,

said it was a cafeteria, but it was actually a larger room with a few tables.

For the children in the orphanage to eat with the staff.

At this point, the kitchen is ready for the meal.

A group of children from the welfare home sat around the dining tables, eating,

Several employees and volunteers of the welfare home did not sit at one table alone, but scattered around each table.

Some children need help when they are eating.

Ji Zhuo sat at a dining table with that Aunt Ai, and in other places at the table, there were some children from the welfare home.

Ji Zhuo held chopsticks, eating, and looked at the children sitting at the table.

The children in this orphanage, except for those who are very young, are a little older, and have not yet been adopted.

They are all with some disabilities, congenital cerebral palsy, immobility, hearing impairment, speech impairment, visual impairment,

These children who are thrown away are often sick with some kind of disease.

In this welfare home, Ji Zhuo saw the eleven or twelve-year-old boy he saw before, Xu Zihao,

This boy, who is visually impaired and has not been able to see things since he was a child, has become familiar with Ji Zhuo in the past few days.

At this time, while eating, he was also showing Ji Zhuo how to use the blind cane.

“…… Holding the cane like this, the wrist should be relaxed a little bit, not too stiff. Then, when you walk on the road, just use your cane to go to the literacy path. If you feel vertical, you can move forward, and if you feel ......"

Although Ji Zhuo didn't use a blind cane, he still had a smile and listened to Xu Zihao 'show off' the knowledge he had mastered.

"Xu Zihao, it's time to eat! The dishes are all sandwiched in a bowl and eaten quickly. ”

But Aunt Ai next to her said to Xu Zihao angrily,

"Oh......"

Xu Zihao obediently touched the edge of the table, touched his bowl, and ate it with his rice bowl.
