Chapter Seventy-Four: Ji Zhuo Tells a Story

"Editor: 'Resuciative Cthulhu' and 'Seven Days of Hell' have been published by publishers, and will be available on various shopping sites in a few days."

"Editor: When the time comes, the website will recommend it, and you can also send a single chapter to recommend it."

"Clumsy and extraordinary: Okay, thank you, big guy."

"Edit: Hmm...... By the way, the award ceremony of the Galaxy Awards is on the 5th of this month, so don't forget to attend it then. If you don't have time to go, just leave some time to give your acceptance speech via video link. ”

It's nothing more than the editor is so sure that Ji Clumsy, this "Seven Days of Hell" can win awards.

The main reason is that Ji Zhuo was selected for the Galaxy Award for Best Internet Science Fiction, except that his book can barely be counted as science fiction.

The others were purely picked out of fantasy novels.

And it's unlikely that there's anything shady.

Because there is a title in front of the Galaxy Award, it is called 'Shiyue Cup'.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: Okay, big guy, I should just video connect when the time comes, I don't really want to go."

"Edit: Okay, the website will help you communicate."

Ji Zhuo replied to the editor.

As he himself said, the old book is finished, and the new book is not opened,

He actually had the time, he just didn't want to go.

Because he's not in the same circle as those who write science fiction novels at all,

When the time comes, someone else is a science fiction author party, and he is out of place there.

I don't know anyone, and I haven't even heard the names of a few science fiction authors.

Save the time to be embarrassed, just don't go.

The Galaxy Awards, which have only come out in recent years for the best cyber science fiction awards, are a bit embarrassing in themselves.

What's the matter, science fiction posted on the Internet is not science fiction? It has to be counted separately......

……

"Edit: Okay, you're busy.

Clumsy and extraordinary: Okay, big guy, you're busy. ”

and the editor chatted a few words,

Ji Zhuo was not in a hurry to send a single chapter of the novel to be published.

Instead, he put his phone away.

It's noon, and the sun is just right.

In early summer, the sun is warm and not very poisonous.

When he received the message from the editor, Ji Zhuo was about to go out.

He's going to go somewhere today.

But first, you'll have to find a shop to buy something.

Packed up, changed into shoes, and Ji Zhuo went out.

……

“…… Pack me up with all those clothes. ”

“…… Can you please help me get those boxes of toys...... Thank you. ”

Pack a small bag and come out of a mall.

Ji Zhuo stopped a roadside taxi, and it took several times to stuff the small bags he bought into the car.

"Yo, the young man buys such a thing, for the children of relatives? Is this going to leave relatives? ”

"Sort of. Master, go to the Guangming Welfare Institute. ”

"Okay. You sit tight. ”

……

“…… Eh, little clumsy, you're here. ”

When I arrived at the Guangming Welfare Institute, a group of blind or deaf hairy children had just finished lunch and were playing around in the courtyard.

Ji Zhuo came in with a large bag of things,

Aunt Ai, who was looking after this group of children in the welfare home, saw Ji Zhuo's eyes lit up and greeted her.

“…… Aunt Ai, I said I would come back again, so why don't you come and see this group of children? ”

Ji Zhuo stayed here for a few days before, and when he left, he said that he would come back to see these children when he was free.

Naturally, I want to keep my promise, and now that the old book is finished, I will come and read it when I am free.

“…… Come here, why do you bring so many things, you transferred so much money when you left last time, you ......"

Aunt Ai looked at Ji Zhuo's big bag and small bag, which were toys and clothes, and couldn't help but say.

Ji Zhuo just looked at it or heard the movement, or saw a group of hairy children who also greeted him,

shook his head at Aunt Ai, signaling her not to say this in front of the child,

Aunt Ai understood, but turned her head and smiled at the faces of the hairy children.

“…… Xu Zihao, listen, who is here? ”

“…… Brother Ji, Brother Ji ......"

Aunt Ai crouched down and asked aloud to a boy who also walked over with a blind cane,

In the few days before Ji Zhuo was a volunteer in this welfare home, he was most familiar with this child.

But before the boy Xu Zihao could answer, other children next to him shouted.

"It's Brother Ji, Brother Ji!"

Xu Zihao was also a little excited, and shouted happily.

"Yes, it's me. I said I'd come back to see you again, didn't I break my promise? ”

"Nope!"

Ji Zhuo smiled and said to these children,

A few children responded loudly.

“…… I brought you some gifts, and you can take whatever you like, and you are not allowed to fight for them. ”

"Thank you Brother Ji yet."

"Thank you, Brother Ji, thank you, Brother Ji......"

A group of hairy children cheered and rejoiced, and some of the children who had lost their speech were also excited.

Ji Zhuo put down the big bags and small bags of things he was carrying, and let these children divide them.

Aunt Ai and several other aunts in the welfare home took care of these children, and they also talked to Ji Zhuo from time to time.

“…… These children are so glad to see you coming. ”

"Xiao Ji, have you had lunch, haven't you eaten Aunt Ai, I'll cook a bowl of dumplings for you again."

"Eat, eat."

"Then Xiao Ji, you must stay for dinner before leaving, and by the way, play with this group of spearhead children for a while."

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Ai."

"Thank you, I thank you, I thank you, you transferred that money last time, it was a big help. I'll show you the money in the book, and I'll show it to you. ”

"No need, Aunt Ai, I have given all the money to the welfare home, you can arrange it yourself how to spend it, and you don't need to give me any explanation."

"That's not good, then the money you give is donated to this group of hairy children, then every money has to be spent on these children."

"I believe you, Aunt Ai."

"That'...... Okay then...... By the way, the last time you transferred such a large amount of money to the welfare home, it didn't have any impact on your life, you ......"

“…… It's okay, Aunt Ai, I have money. ”

Ji Zhuo transferred 200,000 yuan to the welfare institute when he left last time,

For him now,

He doesn't have a lot of money, but he's a money-loving person.

“…… Well, Xiao Ji, then you go talk to the children, Xu Zihao asked you a few days ago......"

……

“…… Brother Ji, Aunt Ai said that you write novels, can you tell me a story? ”

"Okay, I'll tell you a mythical story."

After playing with this group of children for a while, Ji Zhuo found a shade on the edge of the courtyard and sat down.

A few familiar children next to him were either squatting or sitting next to him.

The boy Xu Zihao seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Ji Zhuo with some expectation.

Ji Zhuo answered, and several other children next to him also turned their heads when they heard Ji Zhuo's promise, and looked at Ji Zhuo with anticipation.

Facing these hairy children with either sideways heads or expectant glances, Ji Zhuo considered it,

I just made up a story.

“…… Legends. In another magical world. It was still in ancient times, and the talent was divided into four continents. ”

"They are, Luzhou in the north, Zhanbu in the south, Niu Hezhou in the west and Shenzhou in the east."

"There is an Aolai country in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and there is an island in the vast ocean to the west of the Aolai country, called Penglai Island, and there is a big stone on the highest mountain on Penglai Island."

"One day, the ground on this Penglai Island shook, and the big stone suddenly exploded, and then something popped out of it, guess what?"

Ji Zhuo casually talked nonsense, and then asked the child next to him.

"I know, it must be the Stone Man!"

Next to him, Xu Zihao said loudly.

“…… Yes, it's the Stone Man. However, this stone man looked like a villain, and then it grew when he saw the wind, and within a few minutes he grew into the appearance of an eleven or twelve-year-old child. ”

"Well, it's probably Xu Zihao, you're so old."

This made the child next to him more interested, either holding his chin or listening carefully with his ears sideways.

“…… Why did a child pop out, in other words, this stone was originally the stone left over from the heavenly gods when they made up for the sky, called Lingzhuzi, which fell on this Penglai Island, and was bred by the essence of the sun and the moon, and gave birth to such a little doll, which was conceived for three hundred years, and this little doll finally jumped out of the stone. ”

"This little doll, as soon as she came out of the stone, she stepped on two rolling circles on her feet, and there was a fire burning on it, called Hot Wheels, and she still held a gun in her hand, called a red tassel gun."

“…… The dragon king in this sea, when he saw such a big movement on this island, he came to take a look. Then I saw the Hot Wheels under the feet of this little doll, blazing, how strange this is, I thought it was a treasure, and I wanted to ...... This little doll just said that he was ignorant, he didn't understand, he was about to be deceived, at this time, there was another person on the sea, he was a Taoist priest, and he was also a cultivator of the immortals...... This immortal ......"

Ji Zhuo met the expectant eyes of the children next to him,

Just rambling on such a story.

It seems to be interesting, and all the children listen to it with relish.

“…… How about the story? Does it sound good? ”

“…… It's good, it's so interesting, Brother Ji keep talking! ”

“…… Let's talk about it next time, Aunt Ai has to urge you to eat. ”

“…… Eat, eat......"

“…… Xiao Ji has worked hard for you, and helped take this group of children for an afternoon. ”

“…… It's okay, I'm pretty relaxed with this group of hairy kids. ”
