Chapter 312: Ordinary and Great.
"Crackling ......"
After a few keystrokes, Ji Zhuo created a new book on the codeword software.
After being paralyzed on the sofa for a while, Ji Zhuo still sat in the study, in front of the computer.
In the study, the afternoon sun is still obliquely reflecting the sunlight on the wall next to it,
The air conditioner turns slightly, bringing a cool breeze to the house.
There are probably some birds under the dense branches and leaves in the community outside the window.
It's just that the bird's song is much farther through the windowpane.
There was silence in the study.
Facing the computer screen, Ji Zhuo paused.
The tentative title of the new book was hammered out.
Ordinary, Great
This work corresponding to the main career task goal of the current period,
Responsible for the work that was sandwiched between 'Dog Author' and 'ABC'.
Ji Zhuo still plans to publish it directly overseas. It is convenient to be grabbed by the new books of 'Dog Author' and 'ABC'.
In addition to the title of the book,
In fact, Ji Zhuo also thought of several book titles, but they were all very similar.
"Ignorance, mediocrity, and greatness."
"The ordinariness of the world."
But in the end, Ji Zhuo still chose this mediocre title.
The title of the book was knocked down.
And then there's the introduction.
This is probably a somewhat depressing and absurdist work,
The introduction of the whole book should set the tone of the whole book.
Ji Zhuo clicked on this newly created book,
A new chapter has been created,
After considering the sentences, the introduction to the first edition was revised and revised.
"Synopsis: White demons descend from the sky, they use their feathered wings to stir up a storm on the earth, then a flood that fills the world, and finally they bewitch the foolish lamb with their benevolent countenance.
The demonic whiteness desecrated the darkness of Mother Earth, and listen, Mother Earth roared in anger, and I heard the roar. β
This brief smacks of absurdity,
For this version of the introduction, Ji Zhuo is still quite satisfied.
But it feels like it's almost content.
Well......
Ji Zhuo paused,
At the end of this introduction, one more sentence is added.
βThe Prophecy of the Prophets"
Write the introduction.
Ji Zhuo paused again and looked at the introduction.
Judging purely from this introduction, this ordinary and great,
It seems to be a fantasy work.
But it's really a serious work.
There may be some absurdist overtones of magical realism, but there probably isn't much surreal.
Probably, right?
Before, Ji Zhuo thought that "Seven Days of Hell" was a realistic work, but later it was not classified as science fiction.
Ji Zhuo smiled, and then created a new chapter, ready to start writing the text of the new book.
In this new book, Ji Zhuo's expected length is not very long.
Maybe about two or three hundred thousand words.
The whole book is also divided into chapters.
But only two chapters are divided.
The first chapter is called 'Ordinary'
After typing the name of the first chapter,
Ji Zhuo faced the still blank page, and paused,
Sorting out his thoughts, considering the sentences, he began to try to write the beginning.
The beginning of this part is still written slowly.
From time to time, I will write out what I have written, delete it again, and pause to reconsider.
In this revision,
There is some text on the page of the codeword software,
Words fill blank pages.
The story of the first chapter of "The Ordinary and the Great" gradually unfolds.
The protagonist of 'Ordinary Chapters' is called Mediok Hawe.
Medioc is his first name and his father's last name.
Most people call him just Little Hoss.
He and his father lived in a village in the southern part of the continent.
Well, this is a story set in time and probably in the Middle Ages.
And at the beginning of this chapter,
It was the death of little Hoss's father, Medioc.
Little Hoth's father, Medioc, was on his way down with a hoe and did not dodge the speeding Ecclesiastical knights in time.
influenced the knights to go hunting in the mountains and forests, so he was convicted of violating the laws of the church and was fined ten silver coins.
At the same time, he was suspected of devotion to the Lord's faith, and his soul was not allowed to return to heaven after death.
The knight of the church angrily pronounced the sentence in front of the other inhabitants of the village,
The rest of the inhabitants gathered around Medioc to pray prayers after the knights of the church had left,
But no one tried to heal the armored horse who had trampled and dragged Medioc.
Finally, a neighbor of Little Hoth, risking offending the gods, came back and told Little Hoth.
Little Hoss, who was still playing in the yard at the time, ran over,
rushed into the crowd and saw my father surrounded by a praying crowd,
His father, Medioc, was covered in blood and lay on the ground dying.
The farm tools that I took away when I went out were still on the side,
Father Mediaok's bloody face was so thick with fear that he trembled all over.
Little Hoss looked at his father's appearance with the same fear, he had heard from his neighbors that his father had offended the Lord and the Lord's knights.
But the attachment to his father overcame the fear, and he reached out to hug his trembling father.
"Hoth, don't come near me, I've offended the gods, don't let the gods be angry with you!"
Medioc, who was already dying, saw his son approaching him, his eyes widened, and he said loudly in more fear,
"Little Hoth! Don't come near your father, he is already a sinner! Don't go near him! β
"Save him, save Medioc, save my father!"
Little Hoth stretched out his helpless hand and said to the crowd, the residents of the same village just reached out and grabbed Little Hoss,
Keeping him from his father,
"I'm going to send my father to church and have the priest heal him!"
"Please, save Medioc!"
Others just shouted prayers and confessions, and no one paid attention to Little Hoss's words.
This is really stupid, how can a person who has offended the gods be sent to the church again.
"Hoss, don't say such things! I have offended the Lord, I have offended the gods......"
"Howss, come here, but don't come close to me, I have something to say to you."
Lying on the ground, Medioc seemed to have overwhelmed his fear in front of his son,
The person who was pulling Little Hoth next to him let go of his hand, and Little Hoth squatted on the ground,
He wanted to reach out and touch his father, but every time he was struggling to avoid and scold.
"Hoss! Don't come near me! Don't offend the gods anymore. Listen to me! β
"After I leave, I should never sell my family's land, no matter when! Hoss, do you remember? β
"Remembered."
Little Hoss nodded.
"This farm tool can still be used...... It is also able to be used, take it back. β
Medioc said,
Little Hoth crouched beside him, his eyes fearful as he watched as more and more blood pooled beneath his father.
And his father was getting weaker and weaker.
But his father didn't die right away.
Until the sun in heaven rises from the east to the top,
The sun is scorching at noon.
Offended the gods and rammed the knight's medioc before finally dying.
Before death,
Medioc seemed to see that terrible hell,
There was horror and unspeakable fear in his eyes,
Finally, he muttered a word,
"Lord...... I have never turned my back on your faith, please let me return to your kingdom of heaven. β
With that, Medioc died.
The blood flowing on the ground flowed to the side, and the people on the side dragged Little Hoth to the side.
It's like hiding from the source of plague and calamity.
The blood on the ground gradually soaked into the black earth,
Mediaoc was motionless, her eyes still open with fear.
The prayers of the surrounding residents were loud and loud.
Little Hoss's eyes widened as he looked at his dead father.
At last
After all the blood has dried up,
The inhabitants of the village buried Medioc's body in the ground.
Little Hoth took the farm implement, lowered his head, and went home.
After closing the door,
He lifted his trouser leg in fear, the position of his ankle, and he didn't know when it got a drop of blood.
