Chapter 147: What is this book about?
“…… Da Da ...... Da Da ......"
“…… What are you doing? ”
It was in the afternoon when the sun shone into the house through the balcony window.
The old man sat on a chair, basking in the sun, facing the direction of the sun shining out the window.
The nurse next to him held his mobile phone and raised his head from time to time to see if the old man had anything wrong.
From time to time, he lowered his head again, and then poked it quickly on his mobile phone, with some righteous indignation and excitement on his face.
The old man was basking in the sun, he didn't move for a long time, and he didn't hear the movement of the nurse next to him.
He turned his head and asked in the direction of the house.
"Replying to the message."
The nurse put down his mobile phone and walked closer to the old man.
"Uncle Yu, didn't you ask me to help me find out if there are any other suitable books to read?"
"Hmm...... After the author's "Caged Bird", there was no movement, and I am afraid that it will take another ten days and half a month before there is a new book. ”
The old man nodded and answered,
"What? Got it? ”
"No, I was just looking for a book in Feimo when I saw someone mentioning it under a book...... The author, who said that the book was better written than that author, was originally a book written in the style of that author, and in turn wanted to step on that author, I couldn't get angry, and I also quarreled with the readers of the other author and the readers of the book. ”
Speaking of which, the nurse is still a little indignant,
"Uncle Yu, you say, isn't it too much for these readers of this book?"
Listening to the nurse's words, Uncle Yu couldn't help laughing.
"Whether it is better written than the author can only be known after reading the book. There must still be someone who writes better than that author, but that author's style is very much to my taste. ”
“…… Of course, it's certainly inappropriate for them to say that the author, and the author of the book is not criticizing the book, but the readers of the book are criticizing others. ”
The old man paused, then said again.
"Look, Uncle Yu, you think so too, I'm really angry when I see these people's comments!"
Seeing that the old man supported his opinion, the nurse couldn't help but say.
The old man smiled again, paused and asked,
"What is this book about?"
"Mythology, classical mythology, it's just that this type is a bit special, so if a reader with that author mentions something like that author, there are readers of this book who are not happy."
"Hmm...... The writing should be good, otherwise there wouldn't be so many readers to protect him, but there must still be a big gap with that author. ”
"Is there a gap, who is good and who is bad, then you have to read the book to know ......"
The old man smiled again and paused,
"Open that book and read it to me."
"Hmm...... Okay, Uncle Yu. Listen, I don't believe it can be better than that author. ”
"Don't say that, the author is not in a hurry, it is estimated that this kind of trivial matter is difficult to notice, but you, the reader, are in a hurry."
"Uncle Yu, aren't I talking about justice?"
The old man smiled again.
touched it, and took the Bluetooth headset handed to him by the nurse,
Worn on the ear.
The caregiver helped the old man open the reading function of the non-ink APP.
The sound of reading sounded in the ears of the old man,
The world described in this film also unfolds in front of the old man's dark eyes,
In the mind.
From the protagonist Zhang Cheng from the somewhat dilapidated and old temple, accompanied by the storm outside the house, leaning on the statue of the Lord of the Earth fell asleep,
and then wake up briefly in the middle space,
and then was woken up from a slumber by the Lord of the Land,
It turned out that Zhang Cheng's soul was separated from his body and was led by the land lord to set foot on Huangquan Road and go to the netherworld.
Lord Land said that Zhang Cheng was a nobleman, but he didn't know where he was for the time being.
Then go down to the first stop of the netherworld, Jinji Mountain, Vicious Dog Ridge,
Those who have dark hearts are afraid, and those who are frank and swingers stride by.
Then there is the Wangxiang Tower.
It's hard to turn back, and looking back at the homeland and the old people is already yin and yang.
The sound of reading aloud is not fast,
The old man listened carefully, becoming more and more quiet and silent, and had gradually immersed himself in the world of this book with the author's brushstrokes.
It seems that Zhang Cheng in the book is traveling to the netherworld at night.
At the age of the old man, he is very close to death,
To say something unlucky, it is already half a foot in the ground,
The description of this netherworld is more touching,
Sometimes there are relatives, and sometimes there are brilliant hearts.
In my life, sometimes I don't know if I have been completely frank and honest in my life, and I have never done anything wrong.
There was some silence, and the old man continued to listen to the story.
The nurse next to him stood quietly, watching the old man's reaction to this story.
Looking at Uncle Yu's reaction, it seems that this one seems to be really good?
Otherwise, I wouldn't have heard it for so long.
The old man listened again,
The plot described in the book has been past the city of vain,
The old man groped again, and tapped the screen on the screen of the mobile phone he was holding in his hand.
The sound of reading in my ears naturally stopped.
"Uncle Yu, how is this book? Could it be better than the author's book? ”
The nurse saw that the old man stopped listening and asked.
The old man held his mobile phone, and the headphones had not been taken off, but he was even more silent when he listened to the nurse's words.
He's biased toward that author,
After all, he is also a loyal reader of that author,
But this book also feels good,
He couldn't lie about how he felt when he listened to this book.
“…… Each has its own merits. ”
The old man paused and squirmed, and finally gave this answer.
"Huh?"
"Uncle Yu really has to be so good?"
"It's not necessarily better than that author's book, but I like it a lot."
"How does it compare to Seven Days of Hell?"
"I like 'Seven Days of Hell' better."
"How do you compare it to other books?"
"To each his own."
The caregiver understood.
The old man answered, paused again,
“…… Before, when I was reading this book, I suddenly remembered something from a long, long time ago. ”
"Huh?"
"I thought I had forgotten for so long, after all, it seemed like a small thing, but then I suddenly remembered it again."
"When I was young, I was poor in the house. There are several brothers in the family, and they rely on my father and mother to support them, and they often don't have enough to eat, and they don't see oil a few times a year. ”
"One day, probably during the Chinese New Year, my mother took a small piece of bacon from the beam of the house, cut it in two, and put it in a pot to cook."
"I was so hungry...... Do you know the kind of people who starve to death, and when they die, their faces are swollen and swollen......"
"I was so hungry that I took advantage of my mother's fire behind the kitchen...... There was a wall across the stove from the stove, so I reached out and lifted the pot, took a piece of meat out of the pot, cut it with a knife, stuffed it into my mouth and ate it, and threw the big piece of meat back. ”
"My mother didn't find out...... At that time, the meat was eaten, and the brothers and sisters each got a slice, the father had two pieces, and the mother also had a piece...... I was given another slice during the meal. ”
The old man said something that seemed small, but he fell silent again,
This was a very small thing a long time ago, but it is still very clear in the old man's heart.
It's so strange, but my father's face can't be remembered clearly, it's blurred, but this little thing hasn't been blurred yet.
“…… Uncle Yu, what is this book about? ”
"I see retribution."
The nurse looked at the old man's silent appearance, and asked carefully,
The old man was silent for a moment, and then replied.
Different people always see a book differently.
The nurse listened to what the old man said, paused, and said carefully,
"Uncle Yu...... Maybe your mother found out at the time, right? ”
"You secretly cut a small piece of bacon, cut it on the side that was originally cut, and the two sides can't match, and you cut it on the side without cutting it, so there are more knife marks."
"Uncle Yu, you also said that there was less meat at that time, and there was less meat, and your mother should have found out at that time."
Listening to the nurse's words, the old man turned his head suddenly,
in the direction of the sound, and then froze in action,
I haven't moved for a long time,
It's just been a long time,
He turned his head again, facing the direction of the sunlight streaming in from the window.
"Go and help make a pot of hot water, I'll sit here and listen to this again."
"Okay, Uncle Yu."
The nurse didn't say much and walked away.
Leave the old man alone on the balcony,
The old man sat on a chair facing the balcony,
Reach out and tap the phone screen again,
The phone continued to read it.
The old man listened, but his body trembled a little with his back to the direction of the room,
Some cloudy tears couldn't help but roll out of his eyes.
This
It's not because,
It's just an old man who remembers his former parents.
……
"Uncle Yu...... The water is boiled. ”
went to boil hot water, and the nurse stood on the edge of the living room outside the balcony, and waited for a long time.
Then he spoke out again to the old man.
"Huh? Okay......"
The old man was still facing away from the nurse, and his voice was a little hoarse.
“…… You help me call Yu Mingzhi, and say that I will go back to the countryside tomorrow to meet my parents. ”
"Okay, Uncle Yu, I'll call Mr. Yu."
"Hmmm......"
……
That night.
The old man had a dream, and in the dream his mother's face became very clear again.
In the dream, he was in the earthen house of his hometown again,
And his mother stood at the table in the hall, dressed in her old clothes.
With a gentle smile on his face, he smiled at the old man, but he never spoke,
The old man stood in front of his mother, but he couldn't get any closer.
As he walked, the old man fell to the ground,
And his mother came and laughed and lifted him up, but she did not speak.
just handed over a pottery bowl, and there were a few pieces of bacon in the pottery bowl.
Give it to him and let him eat.
In dreams,
The old man cried again.
"Mother...... Our family can afford bacon...... There's a lot of bacon to eat. ”
"Mother...... There are many, many bacon to eat......"
"Mother......
……
"Crackling ......"
Last night, Ji Zhuo slept in the middle of the night as usual,
I didn't wake up until noon as usual today.
At this time, the wind outside the house is beautiful, but it is hot.
Ji Zhuo sat in the study, turning on the air conditioner and writing words, but he was not too irritable.
Seeing that the sun is about to go outside the house,
Ji Zhuo's update today has also been written about the same,
After the last paragraph is written,
Ji Zhuo stopped, and the room was quiet again,
The faint sound of air conditioning, muffled by the sound of keyboard tapping, sounded again,
The sound of branches and leaves colliding in the community outside the house can also be heard in the ears.
Looking at the chapters that are stacked,
Ji Zhuo nodded with satisfaction,
I looked at some of the chapters that I had written in the past few days from the beginning, and by the way, I saw if there were any typos.
The plot continues from the previous 'Zhang Cheng slaying the plague dragon',
Keep going.
Zhang Cheng listened to the land lord say that this was the plague qi converging into an evil dragon in front of his Huangquan Road.
Once it starts, it will start from the villages not far from his surroundings, and set off a plague in the sun, and then it will inevitably be a tragedy in the world.
Zhang Cheng was still determined to get rid of the plague dragon.
The lord of the land also told him that he was a nobleman, and the plague dragon was afraid of him.
When he stepped forward, sure enough, the dozens of meters long plague dragon was afraid of him, and he curled up his body and head backwards.
But just before Zhang Cheng was about to make a move,
The Lord of the Land also told him,
"In the next life, you can think clearly first, you have a noble spirit in you, even if this plague dragon rises, it can't harm you."
"But if you subdue and destroy this evil dragon, even if you have a noble spirit in you, when you come to the plague dragon, you will still be harmed by the plague dragon's plague energy. It's okay in this underworld, but when you go back to the yang world, you're afraid you'll be seriously ill and suffer a lot of crimes. ”
Zhang Cheng only paused for this and asked,
"Will you die?"
"The noble Ji people have their own natural appearance, so naturally they won't, but the discomfort in this process is to be borne by yourself in the future. This plague dragon has heat poison all over your body, and this plague dragon has cold poison on your body, and when you attack, you will have chills all over your body, and your lips will be dry and white. When the time comes, you won't be able to get out of bed, and you'll be uncomfortable in every way. ”
"If you can't die, you can do it."
Zhang Cheng finally chose to subdue the plague dragon.
It probably took more than half a chapter to describe the process of Zhang Cheng's subduing of the plague dragon.
Since he wanted to hit the eyes of this plague dragon, Zhang Cheng naturally climbed on the head of the plague dragon.
The plague dragon was naturally unwilling to wait for death, although he didn't dare to swallow Zhang Cheng, a nobleman,
But when Zhang Cheng crawled to death on him, he spat at Zhang Cheng,
Suddenly, Zhang Cheng only felt that he was sick all over his body,
Dizzy, hands and feet have lost strength, hot irritability and ferocity all over the body for a while, cold all over the body, shivering all over,
made Zhang Cheng, who had just climbed onto the body of the plague dragon, almost fall down, and could only lie on the evil dragon tightly,
I just waited to endure some of the pain in my body, and then climbed up the plague dragon's body to the plague dragon's head,
The plague dragon coiled its body again, twisting and rolling on the ground, trying to shake Zhang Cheng off.
Zhang Cheng, who was already affected by the plague, only felt that the world was spinning, and he could only hold on to the scales on the plague dragon's body.
No matter how the plague dragon struggled, he never let go, until the plague dragon struggled and seemed to be temporarily weak.
And he continued to climb up the head of the plague dragon,
It's just that the plague gas gradually invaded Zhang Cheng's body,
Zhang Cheng only felt that his internal organs were hurting, his stomach seemed to be twisting, and his heart and lungs seemed to be cut like a knife.
I couldn't breathe, I kept coughing, and my whole body was weak, even if the plague dragon didn't move,
are a little unbearable,
But here, Zhang Cheng still endured it,
Crawled onto the head of the plague dragon's head,
At this time, Zhang Cheng didn't have much strength,
just clenched his fists, with all his strength,
It's just a fluttering punch,
It's just that this light punch smashed on the plague dragon's eyes, but it blinded the plague dragon's eyes at once.
The plague dragon was in pain, and suddenly it rose from the Huangquan Road and flew in the air.
And Zhang Cheng is even more whirling,
The plague infected, he was also more serious, only feeling cold for half a day, and hot for half a day.
The mind is as dull as paste, and the hands and feet are as heavy as grout,
Every inch of skin and flesh on the body hurts, every abdominal distension inside is like boiling water to scald, rotten water is rotting, blunt knives are cutting, and sharp edges are stabbing.
Zhang Cheng just barely grasped it with his hands, biting the plague dragon's beard with his teeth,
Finally, he gave the plague dragon another punch,
The plague dragon screamed, lost its eyes, and flew wildly in the air for a while.
Slammed to the ground,
Zhang Cheng also lost all his strength and slipped on Huangquan Road.
At this time, the land lord hurriedly came over to help Zhang Cheng up,
The plague contaminated by Zhang Cheng's body has no master, and he gradually stopped making trouble.
All kinds of pain in his body gradually stopped.
"The nobleman is really a nobleman, except for a plague dragon in the yang world."
"But when you return to the yang world, you have to be careful, just now the noble person felt all kinds of pain, that is, after returning to the yang world, you have to bear it."
"It's just longer than here, maybe months."
The land lord said to Zhang Cheng,
Zhang Cheng gradually eased up, and the plague dragon on the ground also dissipated his body,
The land lord took Zhang Cheng and walked to the next stop in the capital city,
It's just going a little faster,
Just because the Lord of the Land said,
"Hou Sheng, in the city of Xudu in front of you, there is still a ghost who wants to sue you in the judge's palace, and I want to trouble you to confront him once and go through the motions."
