"Clumsy and extraordinary: this is the entire manuscript of the 'ordinary' chapter."

"al: I have received your manuscript from Mr. I. Thank you, Mr. I, for bringing such an excellent work to readers, and thank you Mr. I for allowing me, a loyal reader, to see this part of the content in advance. ”

Back in the house,

Entered the study. Ji Zhuo exported the manuscript of the ordinary chapter in the codeword software and sent it to the editor-in-chief of Al Publishing, and by the way, he sent a message to the editor-in-chief of Eyre.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: Thank you, Mr. Ayr, for the compliment.

Al: It's not a compliment, it's a statement of facts......"

Immediately after the editor-in-chief of Al sent a few more words of praise, Ji Zhuo passed it directly.

After another pause,

Editor-in-Chief Al has another message to send.

"Mr. I. The 'ordinary' chapter should be considered the first half of your work, right?

Clumsy and Extraordinary: Right.

AL: So we're starting to gradually warm up for "The Ordinary and the Great" now?

al: As agreed with Mr. I, your work will be released in about a month.

al: If Mr. I, you think that the ordinary chapter is okay, then I, as a reader and editor, think that the content of the ordinary chapter is perfect.

al: If you think it's okay, we'll start printing the 'Ordinary Chapters' part first, and then get the second half of your work Mr. I, and then move on to the second half and the overall binding.

Clumsy: Well, okay. ”

In this regard, Ji Zhuo has no opinion.

However, Al Publishing House does not have many resources and channels to warm up and promote "Ordinary and Great".

Anyway, before the news that the Al Publishing House advertised the new books of other authors in their publishing house, Ji Zhuo had never seen it.

Only...... Very good.

"al: Thank you again, Mr. I, for your trust in our publishing house."

Looking at this, Ji Zhuo didn't know what to say.

After a few more polite words with the editor-in-chief of Al, the exchange ended.

Reach for the computer,

By the way, I glanced at the codeword software that was not turned off, and the content of the 'ordinary' chapter was still displayed.

Ji Zhuo first turned off the codeword software, and then turned off the computer and got up.

Turn your head,

Outside the study window, the lights of other people's houses are lit in the night,

The lights were reflected under the window, so Ji Zhuo walked to the window and took a look at the lights of the people in the city.

It's pretty good.

Looking at the night sky reflected in the city lights, Ji Zhuo blew the evening breeze and diverged his thoughts at will.

……

"Penny, you get busy first, I'll go read the content of the manuscript sent by Mr. I. Mr. I said that the content of the entire 'ordinary' chapter has been sent. ”

Europa, the country of the White Flag, or in the afternoon.

It's not time for El Press to get off work yet.

However, the entire Al Publishing House is not big, except for the editor-in-chief of Eyre, and his wife Penny, there are several other editors of the publishing house.

They are responsible for liaising with writers who often work with different publishers, as well as some common proofreading and typesetting work.

When I received Mr. I's message, Al was busy with other publishing things.

After receiving the news, Al hurried back to his office from the publishing house hall.

When the other editors heard Al's words, they couldn't help but raise their heads and cast sideways glances.

"The whole chapter has been sent?"

"Hmm...... Yes, you can contact the printing house again, and then determine the printing side, and we will see that we are ready to start printing this work immediately, and print the first half of the work first...... The whole book will be bound later. ”

Al answered, and was already in his office.

Turn on your computer,

Received the manuscript sent by Mr. I,

Then turn it on.

This manuscript is a complete 'ordinary' chapter.

The previous part of the content has been read twice before,

But I still moved the mouse a little slowly, sliding down a little bit,

By the way, make sure that Mr. I has made minor changes to the previous content,

However, even if he looked at it so cursoryly, he had seen it several times,

Sometimes I can't help but pause and look at some words carefully.

Seeing some plots, emotions still fluctuate.

"Hoo ......"

until little Hoss had spent an afternoon in the fields, and returned to the house tired and tired.

Al stopped again and let out a long breath.

The previous content was also confirmed, and Mr. I did not make any further changes.

This is where he saw it last time, and further down, it is already the content of Mr. I's new manuscript this time.

“…… How's it going, where do you see it, and what's going on next? ”

At this time, Penny, who had finished contacting the printing house, pushed open the hidden office door and walked in.

"I've just roughly read the previous content, and I haven't started reading the rest yet."

Al answered, looking up,

"Is it OK at the printing shop?"

"The final printing square has been decided. The best printing paper, the best printing conditions, the most expensive price. As soon as we send the manuscript in, they can start printing it right away. ”

"Hmm...... This excellent work cannot be printed shoddyly. Mr. I's choice of our publisher is a sign of trust in our publisher, and I don't want to disappoint him. Moreover, even if the printing price is higher, I believe that it is worth it and can be earned. ”

Al said aloud.

This Fang Yu was originally decided between the two of them and the printing house, and Penny naturally had no opinion.

Nodding, he walked over to Al's side, pulled a stool and sat down beside him, and looked at the 'ordinary' chapter displayed on the computer screen.

Al glanced at his wife, then back to the computer screen.

"Let's take a look."

……

The story of the 'ordinary' chapter continues to progress.

After a day of hard work in the field, I don't know how much sweat I put into the dirt of the land.

But it was only a small Hoth who cultivated a small field, dragging his tired body home,

I didn't want to move, but under the urging of hunger, I ate the leftovers of noon, cold food,

He fell down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Because he slept deeply, he didn't wake up in the middle of the night because he heard the beating and scolding next door.

But I don't know if he was too tired and tired, he still had nightmares at night.

He dreamed, or that day,

The drop of blood on his body appeared on his legs, on his arms,

And when the blood is there, he feels the pain and pain there,

In the end, in the dream, he still fell to the ground, stiff and unable to move, unable to make a sound.

Like the nightmare from before, the people around him reappeared, chanting prayers in fear around him.

It is in the extreme fear of these voices.

Little Hoss woke up again from his sleep,

When I woke up, it was already early in the morning.

And after waking up, Xiao Hoss did feel very sore all over his body, from his shoulders to his back, from his arms to his legs.

It hurt so much all over my body, probably because I was so tired from working in the fields yesterday.

But

He still has to go to the ground today.

Yesterday he only cultivated a small field, and it is still a long, long way from all the fields in his family have been cultivated.

Moving his aching body and limbs, little Hoth grinned, moved a little, and got out of bed.

I still feel a little sore when I move on the ground, but I seem to be much better.

Little Fox went to the kitchen first and made breakfast.

……

Eating basically the same food as the day before, soybean soup and brown bread.

After Xiao Hoss finished his breakfast, he looked at the remaining piece of black bread and hesitated.

He picked up the piece of black bread and put it on his body.

He thought that he would not come back at noon, so he would eat something in the field, rest for a while, and then continue plowing.

Grow some crops down today.

He didn't want to eat lunch, so he could save some food.

But while working in the fields, he always felt very hungry.

Brought that piece of black bread and some water,

Little Hoss took the farm tools and went out again.

Standing on the side of the road, little Fox hesitated back and forth.

But he did not go in the direction of the field,

Instead, he quickened in the other direction, in the direction of his father's Medioc grave.

He wanted to see his father again.

soon

Little Hoth arrived at the place.

Looking from afar, he saw a figure standing in front of the grave of his father, Medioc,

It's still a little hard to see from a distance.

However, as he got closer, Little Hoss soon realized that something was wrong.

What about the tombstone in front of his father's Medioc,

The one he had erected only yesterday morning, with his father's name engraved on it.

Now it's gone!

Little Hoss took the farm tools and ran.

But even when he ran near, he ran to the grave of his father Medioc,

The tombstone was not seen again, except for the dirt that had been turned over in front of the grave bag, proving that there was once a tombstone that belonged to Medioc.

And the man who stood before the grave,

Little Hoth turned his head, looked up, and looked at the other person standing in front of the grave,

"Aunt Valina?"

Little Hoth shouted.

The person standing in front of the grave bag was Aunt Valina.

At this time, Aunt Valina was still carrying the bamboo basket, and there was black bread in the basket.

Aunt Valina was still a little sad and nervous about little Hoth.

"Aunt Valina, where's my father's tombstone?"

Little Hoth asked Valina.

"Little Hoth...... Come here, you can't make up a lie, lie to the priest. ”

Aunt Valina reached out and pulled little Hoth closer to him with some nervousness, away from the place where the tombstone had been standing.

"I'm not lying! Aunt Valina, where's my father's tombstone? ”

"Because he has been sinned against the Lord and is not religious enough in his faith in the Lord, your father cannot erect the tombstone of the Lord!"

Aunt Valina said the little Hoss.

“…… The priest said, "The Lord has forgiven my father's sins, and he will be able to return to Heaven!" ”

Little Hoss raised his voice a little and said loudly.

“…… No, no...... The mercy of the Lord is to devout believers, not to such sinners. ”

Aunt Valina was a little nervous, and said even more sadly,

His hand was still holding Little Hoth tightly.

"Aunt Valina, did you pull out my father's tombstone?"

Little Hoss raised his head and said with some anger.

"No...... No. ”

Aunt Valina shook her head.

"Who's that?"

Little Hoss still had a farming tool in his hand, inhaling.

"It's your Grandpa Gus."

"Yesterday afternoon, it was discovered that there was an extra tombstone in front of your father's Medioc. When he tried to pluck it out, I told him, "You have spoken to me, 'The Lord has forgiven Medioc.'" ”

"But such a sinner can never have a tombstone, which is a symbol of the Lord's devout disciples, a sign of returning to the kingdom of heaven."

"So, those people went and asked you about Grandpa Gus. Asked, can a tombstone be erected in front of Medioc's grave, and said what you said. ”

"But Grandpa Gus still said that the priest's words are only a consolation to you, maybe Medioc will return to heaven one day, but he needs to atone for his sins. Perhaps the merciful and great Lord does not blame us for the sin of laying tombstones for sinners, but devout believers should not do that, which would make people doubt piety. ”

"So they took your father's tombstone and burned it with fire."

Aunt Valina finished talking about what happened,

Little Hoth went from being angry to a little sad.

Grandpa Gus is the elder and wise man of the village,

Having worked for a church, he has a clear understanding of God's will and the church.

In the village, when I encountered some orders from the church and the will of God, I would always ask Grandpa Gus for answers.

His father, Medioc, had also consulted Grandpa Gus about something.

He was the wisest man in the village.

Grandpa Nags said this...... Maybe he's really wrong, right?

Maybe he misunderstood what the priest said.

Little Hoth remembered two nightmares again,

Was this the Lord's punishment and warning to him?

Little Hoss was a little scared.

"Little Hoth...... You can't do that, you're going to be guilty of the Lord. ”

"Bring some gifts and thank Grandpa Gus, if it weren't for Grandpa Gus, you would have made a mistake."

Aunt Valina said with some sadness and nervousness as she pulled little Hoss.

"Hmmm......"

Little Hoss bowed his head and responded.

When the residents of the village ask Grandpa Gus to answer a question, they always send some gifts to express their gratitude.

"Aunt Valena, I see. I want to spend time with my father again. ”

Little Hoss lowered his head and said again.

Aunt Valina looked at Little Hoth and let go of the hand that was holding Little Hoth.

"Then you can't do that kind of thing to offend the Lord anymore, we are all devout believers in the Lord."

Aunt Valina said.

Little Hoss nodded silently.

Aunt Valina walked away with a few steps.

Little Hoss looked up, and then at Aunt Valina, who was already far away.

Then he turned his head and looked at his father's grave bag and the loose dirt in front of it.

"Father...... Medioc. ”

"The priest said you can go back to heaven."

"But Grandpa Gus said it was just the priest's words of comfort."

Little Hoth spoke to Medioc's grave,

Naturally, no one could answer.

Little Hoth lowered his head and stood in place for a long time.

raised his head again, with a deep fear in his eyes,

Fearfully looking around on both sides, to make sure that no one was there,

Little Hoss stepped aside,

Holding a farming implement, he cut off a thumb-thick branch,

Two branches were tied together in the form of a tombstone,

It's just a little longer than a slap.

Little Hoss took the two sticks tied up, and went back to his father's grave.

The whole person was trembling with fear, and his feet were lighter and heavier.

Frightened and nervous, looking back and forth,

Little Hoth picked up a stone shard and carved his father's name crookedly on the bundled stick.

Then nervously, he squatted down and cut open the loose piece of dirt in front of the grave with his hands.

Then he stuck this tombstone, which was only a little longer than a palm, into the dirt until it was submerged in the dirt.

Then he covered it with other dirt, so that the little tombstone could not be seen completely.

Xiao Hoss trembled all over the whole process, and his hands trembled violently,

Waiting for the tombstone to finally be carved and buried in the soil,

Little Hoth's forehead was already covered with sweat, and his whole body was already unsteady, and he staggered and shook a few times,

He fell in front of his father's grave, and his hair was weak and trembling.

“…… Father...... I'm a sinner too......"

Little Hoth's voice trembled and he said.

Naturally, the grave bag couldn't answer him,

Only the wind blows,

The summer wind blew on Little Hoth's body, but Little Hoth felt a little chilly.

Lying on the ground for a while,

Little Hoss just got up from the place,

picked up the farm tools again, cleaned up the traces that might be found around,

Then he took the farm tools and hurried towards his field.

But even in the field, little Hoss was still worried in his heart,

It wasn't until he was tired from working in the field that little Hoss gradually became nervous because of fatigue.
