Chapter 47: The Blind Old Man

“…… He seems to be blind?

He couldn't see anything anymore. ”

In a house in the bustling city,

The lights went out in the bedroom, but there was some light faintly in the gap in the quilt.

The son of the noodle shop owner is huddled in the quilt, covering his head with the quilt, holding his mobile phone in his hand, and looking at the new book of the dog author with relish.

Seeing the description of the protagonist in the plot who was blind after waking up, he couldn't help but pause and rubbed his eyes that were a little blurred because of sleepiness.

I continued to watch it with relish.

"Knock knock."

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Immediately after that, the child got out of the bed, and the mobile phone was left in the bed.

The whole person straightened up, lay on the bed, gradually relaxed, closed his eyes,

A series of movements is fast and skillful.

The man outside the door also unscrewed the door and walked in through the door.

It is the mother of the child.

Approaching the bed, I saw my child lying flat, with his eyes closed as if he was asleep.

The child's mother couldn't help but smile and shook her head, pretending to be quite similar, but she still didn't know that children rarely fell asleep lying down.

But she didn't say anything, just stood on the edge of the bed, reached out and pulled the quilt for the child.

The child was lying flat on the bed, with his eyes closed, only to feel the quilt being pulled up.

Then there was no movement in the room,

I couldn't help but be cautious, opened my eyes a little, and then saw his mother still standing by the bed,

"Mommy woke you up?"

The woman didn't pierce the boy's pretending to sleep, she just said this.

"Hmmm......"

The boy pretended to be hazy and opened his eyes in a daze.

“…… Have you seen your mother's phone? I just put it in the living room to charge. ”

“…… Well...... Here I am. ”

“…… Next time you go to bed, don't take your phone, you know? ”

The woman took the phone away, and didn't expose the boy who was secretly playing with the phone.

The boy looked up from the bed and watched intently as his mother walked out of the room with her phone.

What's next?

Just watched the beginning, the boy was very curious about the next plot of "Seven Days of Hell", but he couldn't see it again.

……

"Stinky boy, I don't sleep at night and read novels......"

The woman took the phone out of the boy's room and looked at the page of the novel displayed on the phone.

After looking at it, she shook her head, she was not very interested in the novel.

Walked down the aisle and went back to his bedroom,

The light is still on in the bedroom, and her husband, the owner of the noodle shop, is still holding his mobile phone and looking at something.

When the woman looked closer, she saw that her husband was also reading a novel.

“…… Why haven't you slept yet? Do you want to open a store tomorrow morning? ”

"Read a novel, this author has sent a new book, quite conscious, just a few chapters I read before sleeping."

The noodle shop owner raised his head and looked at his wife, then lowered his head again and continued to scroll through the novel on his phone.

The phone shows the novel, which is also "Seven Days of Hell".

"You two, it's the same."

The woman said angrily, and the noodle shop owner just laughed.

The woman cleaned up and returned to bed, and the owner of the restaurant was still reading the novel, so she also turned her head and glanced at it a few times.

“…… Is this novel weirdly interesting? ”

"yes."

"Why don't you look at it?"

“…… I've read it too. ”

“…… This author, the novel is very well written, how did you send this point. ”

The woman doesn't know much about online novels, and the novels she thinks are all sent out in volumes, just like physical novels.

……

Yucheng.

It's late at night,

In a house,

On the bed in the bedroom, an old man in his early sixties was still tossing and turning in bed.

When people are old, they are usually sleepy, but they sleep very lightly.

After supper, he lay down in bed and fell asleep, but when it was still late at night, he woke up again.

When I wake up, it's hard to fall asleep,

It was already quiet outside, but a little sound for a long time could still make his nerves skip a beat, and then make him sleepy.

But even if he couldn't sleep, he still didn't want to open his eyes, but just moved from the bed from time to time, tossing and turning.

"Hey......"

He sighed in his heart and stopped tossing and turning,

I opened my eyes,

But when the eyes are opened, they are the same as when they are closed, and there is only darkness in them, or even worse.

He couldn't see the glimmer of the city outside the window, and he couldn't see some dim scenes in the house.

From the first two years, after the macular degeneration of his eyes, there was a dark shadow, in just one or two months,

He was completely blind in both eyes, and he could only leave his original position, his original career,

Obviously he was just blind, but he felt like he was paralyzed.

His children also hired someone to take care of him, but every time he wanted to go out after a long time, he was pushed out in a wheelchair.

The person who slept in the next room to take care of him without screaming, and didn't grope for the bell next to the bed,

The old man sat up from the bed with his hands propped up, and sat against the head of the bed.

Raising his head, facing the darkness under his eyes, he didn't know what to think.

After a long time, the old man stretched out his hand again, leaned over, and groped for the bedside table next to the bed.

On the bedside table was the bottle of melatonin he had people put there,

"Whoa......

He fumbled for a while before he touched the medicine bottle,

He picked up the vial, and the sound of rustling sounded in the quiet room.

He wanted to unscrew the bottle cap, but some thoughts couldn't stop popping up in his head,

Did you get your own medicine bottle right? Didn't you get a other medicine bottle of the same shape,

He can't see it.

“…… Hey......"

Sighed a second time,

The medicine bottle that had just been unscrewed was put back by him.

Groping again,

He found a pair of Bluetooth headphones and a mobile phone from the side of the bed.

There are several large icons displayed on the phone, and the whole page looks very simple.

The old man fumbled on the screen when a voice rang in his ear through the headphones.

"Read."

Ever since he lost his sight,

When you watch TV, you can only hear sound, and you can only listen to books, and you can only listen to the electronic version.

He likes to listen to novels, and after he is blind, it seems that there are only a few things he can do.

Immersed in the illusory world of the novel, sometimes some of the pictures described in the novel can appear in his mind.

Let him forget about his blindness for a moment.

So he also has several reading apps in his mobile phone, mainly used to read e-books to him.

But he doesn't really like novels that most young people like to read.

He still likes to watch some slow-burning, in-depth works.

And most of the books in his bookshelf were found and added by the nurses who took care of him.

It was difficult for him to find novels to read himself.

"Seven Days of Hell"

The mobile phone comes with a visually impaired mode that reads the words that the old man pressed to the place.

The old man followed his usual memories and clicked into this book,

It seems very clumsy.,Several attempts,I finally clicked the reading button that comes with the reading software.,

“…… He seems to be blind?

He can't see anything anymore......"

When the sound of the novel reading in the headphones reaches the place where the protagonist is blind,

The old man paused,

But the reading software did not stop, but continued to read the plot of the novel aloud.

……

"Ha~"

At noon the next day.

The midday sun looms from time to time behind the clouds.

Ji Zhuo rolled over from the bedroom bed and sat up, yawning.

There were quite a few people who tossed and turned last night for his new book, but they slept soundly last night.

stretched a comfortable lazy waist,

Ji Zhuo touched the mobile phone next to the bedside,

I started reading the background of the writer and glanced at it.

Seven Days of Hell

Collection 1569, recommendation 1996, 101 reviews, total number of tips 96, investment 236, monthly pass 102.

Looking at this pretty good data,

Ji Zhuo's mentality did not fluctuate at all,

And it's not much of a surprise.

With the last 30,000 orders of the last book, there should be these data on the first day of the release of the new book.

Most of the old readers haven't read it at all, and just close their eyes and collect the votes.

This is still Ji Zhuo's not publishing a single chapter in the old book at all, and most of the old readers don't know that he has released a new book, otherwise the collection and other data of the first day can rise even more.

The final results of this book still depend on the follow-up situation, or the average order on the shelves.

Glancing at the data,

Ji Zhuo glanced at the comments of the book by the way,

"Interesting! This kind of apocalypse is really the first time I've seen it! ”

“…… The idea is simply stunning! The dog author is clean and even more, and the donkeys of the production team don't dare to rest like this. ”

“…… How does the author write a realistic classification in his new book.,It's still this kind of theme.,It's very well written.,It's just not very interested.,I collected it first.,The monthly ticket was also voted.。 I won't read the book, and I'm looking forward to the author's next book. ”

Ji Zhuo flipped through a few comments he saw in the background,

found the expected reader comments,

Now the readers who know him are not at most from the first book, and they have blind faith in him.

Most readers, that is, the last "Resuciative Cthulhu", know him, and when they see him release a new book, they follow him to take a look.

When I saw that it wasn't what I wanted to see, I naturally left, and I wasn't so blind.

"Maybe you can get the wool once this month?"

Ji Zhuo smiled.

And then I went down a few comments,

There are those who shoot rainbow farts, and there are those who urge changes,

There are those who are worried that Ji Zhuo's book will not do well, and there are those who have witnessed that his first book and second book have been blind to him, and his books are the readers who read them.

After a few more glances, Ji Zhuo closed the writer's backstage,

Holding the phone, I got up from the bed and walked outside the house.

While also glancing at the penguin chat to see if there is any news,

On the other hand, I went to the sink and prepared to wash.

"Squid: Big guy, you really sent a new book on the theme of reality?"

This is a message from the squid in the early hours of last night,

seems to have seen the new book he sent,

You can see through the screen that the squid's shock when it sends a message,

"Clumsy and extraordinary: what else?"

While brushing his teeth, Ji Zhuo poked on the screen of his mobile phone placed on the side of the sink and replied with a message.

Then there is the reaction to his new book in the book friend group.

"Canyon Grass: Dog Author's new book, have you all read it? I think it's interesting...... But it's the dog author who posted it in the reality classification, and it's whether this style will have bad results.

Wuhu Takeoff: I think it's pretty good, which book by the dog author is not like this. He dares to write about subjects that others dare not write, and I admire him.

300,000 per second: I also think it's very good-looking, it's interesting, and it feels refreshing to look at.

I'm mortal: I know what canyon means, and this book does seem to be very interesting, but in terms of this kind of genre, this category of novels, I ask, if you had read the author's first two books, would you click in and read them?

Canyon Grass: yes, that's what I mean. I'm afraid that the dog author's book will be popular or not, and it will become a niche boutique by then, but the results will be like that. ”

Ji Zhuo looked at the news in the readership,

With a smile on his face,

The reader's gaze is bright,

And he judged basically the same.

This book is the kind of work that has creative significance and has a certain value, but it is typical of the work that is not very popular in the online literature circle.

"I'm just a trumpet: it's okay, I think the dog author's book is also a medium-length novel, and it won't be written for long."

Ji Zhuo also comforted his readers,

He's really kind-hearted.

And after washing,

Ji Zhuo also saw that the squid replied to the news at this time.

"Squid: ...... Awesome!

Squid: Big guy is awesome! ”

Look at the message of the squid coming back.

Ji Zhuo just smiled,

put away the phone and walked into the study,

Nothing else,

The reader is waiting to be fed, and he is going to kill the donkey of the production team,

The code word has been updated.

……

And on the other side,

The squid looked at Ji Zhuo's reply, held back for a long time, and then replied to the big guy.

Then I clicked on my phone to start reading the novel APP, and looked at Ji Zhuo's new book "Seven Days of Hell" and fell into deep thought.

“…… Why are you stunned? ”

The squid's sister-in-law next to her glanced at the squid, and was stunned when she saw the squid sitting there, and asked.

“…… No. I'm just thinking. Do I want to write a realistic or science fiction book in my next book? ”

The squid shook his head and said aloud, and then the more he spoke, the more energetic he became,

"I've always talked about breaking through the comfort zone, breaking through the comfort zone, but I've never dared to touch the reality theme, and I'm wondering if I should write a realistic theme."

The more the squid spoke, the more he fell into deep thought, as if he was already thinking about it seriously.

The squid's sister-in-law looked at the squid, her eyes were strange, and after a pause,

So he walked over, stretched out his hand, and twisted it around the squid's waist.

"Ah......h

The squid snorted in pain and came back to his senses,

"I didn't dream either."

The squid's sister-in-law looked at the squid and muttered.

The squid was still confused, looking at the squid's sister-in-law, I don't know why she was pinched.

“…… Then why don't you write about games, sports, military? ”

“…… Well, can also be considered. ”

The squid came back to his senses and said with a smile,

The squid's sister-in-law rolled her eyes,

Ignore him, and take out his mobile phone himself,

I started reading the net and looked at it.

“…… You know the author.,You urged him to update.,Why hasn't it been updated today.。 ”

She is also chasing "Seven Days of Hell".

……

"Crackling."

In the study, the sound of the keyboard sounded again,

Ji clumsily has to code out today's update.,Fortunately, I already have some ideas for the follow-up plot.,

The codeword code is also quite smooth.

When the sun outside the house gradually begins to set in the west,

Ji Zhuo stayed in the study for a long time,

It can be said that he doesn't listen to things outside the window, and only does codewords.

Blank pages are filled with words,

The future plot also continued to unfold under Ji Zhuo's pen.

“…… Xu Hua and several other professors in various fields took the same car with self-driving to the place. ”

“…… He didn't even know where it was, he didn't know what his surroundings were, and he didn't even know how long the car had been going, maybe an hour, maybe longer. ”

"...... 'we are inside the Capital Military Region', the person who came to pick up Xu Hua and several other professors seemed to be able to sense Xu Hua's doubts and explained for Xu Hua, but he didn't say much.

'Professors, please, take the arm of the person in front of you, and I'll lead you into the meeting room.' ’

Someone came to say it again.

Several people got out of the car, and only occasional physical contact and some other noises when they got out of the car could make Xu Hua feel that there were still people around.

Xu Hua grabbed the arm of the visitor, and another professor behind him grabbed his arm.

After confirming by sound that everyone was grasping the arm of the person in front of them, the group seemed to move forward.

After walking again, it seemed that when he reached the place, the person who led the way stopped.

Xu Hua's eyes were still dark, he didn't even know if he had entered the building, and after he didn't touch the things around him, his perception of the surrounding environment was the darkness of nothing in front of him. ”
