Chapter 387: The kite in the child's hand

"I went out with the 'paper kite'!"

The child named the kite he bought, and called it "Paper Kite".

The 'paper kite' was bought by the child from the village carpenter with his father, and the craftsman said that he made it himself.

……

This is the beginning of this fairy tale, and the opening story does not unfold directly from the perspective of the kite 'paper kite'.

Instead, more brushstrokes were spent on children, the little masters of the 'paper kite'.

The child lives in an ordinary peasant family,

There are parents, there are grandparents, and they live together.

At the end of March and the beginning of April, when he was planting rice in the rice field, he also helped in the paddy field with his pants in playfully, until his trouser legs were also wet, covered in mud, and he was grinning.

In August and September, when the rice was harvesting, my mother was cutting the rice, and my father was threshing the grain, and he also followed, either cutting the rice back and forth, or holding the rice, and stepping on deep footprints in the rice field that had not yet dried up.

When he woke up in the morning, he would lie by the window and look at the birds in the trees outside the house.

In the evening, when his parents came back from the busy work in the fields, he would also sit on the threshold and watch the sunset.

There was a small stream in front of the house, and the water was just above my ankles, and the sound of the water washing over the stones was loud.

Sometimes, children will also take a dustpan to catch fish in the stream.

But more often than not, he squatted by the stream, looking at his parents who had returned from working in the fields, washing the mud off his feet.

Grandma and Grandpa would sometimes tell him stories at night, but they were accompanied by the chirping of insects and cicadas, and most of the stories children heard were frightening.

More often than not, when the child expects his grandmother to give him money to buy food, he can always give him more snacks to eat.

The beginning of the plot,

It is at the beginning of the fourth month of the lunar calendar.

The rice fields have just passed the water, and they are still wet,

The rice seedlings have grown, and the fields are full of greenery.

In the early morning, the rice seedlings are still decorated with drops of last night's dew,

The dew bent the leaves of the rice seedlings and dripped to the ground.

At this time, those who have been on the ridge of the field can still be soaked in their trouser legs by the rice seedlings stretched out from the field.

Stain it with something like weed seeds.

When the child flies the paper kite with it, it is also on the ridge between the fields.

Sometimes they run to the edge of a small ditch to irrigate the fields.

However, when the child comes out, it is often already in the afternoon.

In the morning, I was either greedy for a lazy sleep, or I was called up by my grandmother to eat breakfast, and I yawned listlessly.

At noon, the sun was shining again, and my mother would not let me run out indiscriminately.

Wait for the afternoon, when the wind blows, it is a good time for children to fly kites.

The child is the only child in the family,

There are not many children his age in the village.

In addition to talking to adults, other children,

The child also likes to talk to the neighbor's leashed yellow dog, the big rooster in his pen, and other poultry things.

But often the neighbor's yellow dog is probably a little troubled by being leashed all the time.

As soon as the child approached and spoke to the yellow dog, the dog barked at the child, pulling the chain and pounced on the child.

When the child was eating, he threw the bones in the bowl to the yellow dog, and the yellow dog lowered his head and gnawed the bones, wagged his tail at the child, and listened to the child say a few more words.

The big rooster in his own house, the child didn't dare to approach, and several times he was chased all over the house by the big rooster that flew up from the circle, and was laughed at by his grandmother and grandfather.

There are also ducks grazing in the stream, going back and forth in the stream, I don't know whether they are washing their feathers or eating aquatic plants.

The child sat by the brook, dangling his legs hanging in the stream, and watched a row of ducks swim past him, and spoke to them.

He also gave a name to each of the ducks in this row, from duck row to duck six.

One day, I don't know if the duck is big or the duck is dead, and the child was sad for a while, until he ate a bowl of roast duck with potatoes brought by the neighbor.

Except for the ducks in the stream,

The child also gave names to other animals, things, and names that could be found.

Like here

This kite in his hand.

"Paper kite" is another name for kites, and the child listens to the kite maker.

It sounded good, so I gave the kite this name.

The craftsman made the paper kite like a big swallow with spread wings, and carefully colored the paper kite.

“…… Come back early and don't go to the river......"

The child was about to go out with a paper kite, and the house was busy with other things - the mother who had packed up a basin of dirty clothes and was about to go out to wash poked her head out of the next room.

Shouting at the child.

"I see!"

The child didn't look back, answered loudly, and ran out of the house with the paper kite.

"Little paper kite, let's go, I'll let you put it in the sky......"

"Eh, it's a pity that you're too young, otherwise take me and go to the sky for a spin."

The child spoke to the paper kite with great interest, and then sighed,

However, children's emotions come and go quickly.

After crossing the bridge over the stream, we reached the farmland opposite the stream.

Standing on the ridge, the child became excited again,

Along the ridge, I walked to the front, and I had to find a slightly empty place to put the paper kite.

Some baby his paper kite kite,

As he passed by the edge of the farmland, the child held the paper kite aloft.

I am afraid that the rice seedlings on the edge of the ridge will scratch the paper kite and stain it.

"Here it is!"

When the child came to an open place in the field, he stood on a ridge that was still wide.

Tidying up the kite strings, with a gust of wind,

Running along the ridge, he ran with a kite.

The child gradually lengthened the string of the kite, and the kite trembled slightly with the wind, and it grew taller and higher.

Waiting for the child to stop and raise his head, the kite 'paper kite' is already high in the sky.

"Paper kites! Little paper kite! Fly a little higher, fly a little higher......"

There was no one in the surrounding farmland, and the child raised his head and spoke loudly to the 'paper kite'.

The kite string in his hand gradually lengthened, and the paper kite flew higher and higher, but with the kite string, with the wind, and then slowly swayed back and forth in the air.

Seeing that the kite was released, the child was happy,

Holding the kite string, he first sat down with his ass, sat on the ridge, and looked at the sky and the resources in the sky.

In the end, he simply lay down along the ridge and looked at it.

However, the child's hand has not let go of the kite string,

But at this time,

High in the sky, a sudden wind blew the position of the 'paper kite' in the sky.

The child sat up as soon as he got up, stood up, and went to pull the kite string, for fear that the 'paper kite' would fall.

It's just that with the pull of the child, last year, the kite thread made of cotton thread was broken like this.

The kite 'paper kite' was blown higher by the strong wind,

The child chased after the 'paper kite' in the direction where it was blown away.

……

The 'paper kite' that had just been broken off the kite string was filled with fear.

The wind blew at it, and without the kite string, it could only sway with the wind.

Every gust of wind seemed to crush it.

And her little master is still down there.

The paper kite looked down and saw that her little master was still panting and chasing her on the ridge.

Until finally I couldn't catch up,

The little paper kite heard the last shout from the little master,

"Paper Kite...... Little paper kite, fly a little higher...... Fly a little higher! ”

Immediately after, the little paper kite was blown by the wind and carried farther away.

Riding the wind, the paper kite that is fading away,

In the beginning, it was fear, fear,

Just as the wind calmed down, just carrying her to the distant sky,

She is also like her little master, she is curious about her surroundings,

I liked the feeling of being in the sky and not being fixed in one place.

Then I'll go farther afield, and then I'll go back to the little master." ’

When the paper kite thought like this, she was even more happy and happy,

She's going to look further afield, and then go back to the little master!

Just riding the wind, the little paper kite gradually flew away.

When you want to fly out of this village completely,

The paper kite looked down and saw that the little master seemed to have returned home.

The family was having dinner, and the light was shining through the window, reflecting the outside of the house.

Then, with the wind, the paper kite left the sky of the village.

……

"Hoo ......"

"Crackling ......"

I didn't get up early today, and when Ji Zhuo was sitting in the study, it was already noon.

At this time, with the sound of keyboard tapping, the length of the new book "Kite" increased.

The noon sun outside the window also gradually shifted westward, and then sunset.

In this study, immersed in the plot, Ji Zhuo hardly had any other actions,

Just coded words, and sat in front of the computer for another afternoon.

Until the evening comes, the high-rise buildings in the city are like trees in the mountains and forests, blocking the setting sun.

Instead of the stars at night, the bustling lights also dot the city.

Before the lights were turned on in the study, the city lights were shining through the window.

and the light that reflects the computer screen.

Only then did Ji Zhuo stop today's code words and let out a long breath.

Moving his shoulders, neck and wrists with some pantothenic acid, Ji Zhuo looked at the content written today on the codeword software.

There are no chapters,

An afternoon down,

wrote about 10,000 words, giving a beginning to "Kite", or "Paper Kite".

Looking at it now, Ji Zhuo is still quite satisfied.

Such progress,

I'll probably be able to send it to me tomorrow.

……

"Fifteen days to go before the release of Shadow Empire!"

"Shadow Empire is about to be released, and many well-known people are looking forward to it."

""Shadow Empire" will open online pre-sale a week later, and it is reported that Bert Publishing has stocked a large number of "Shadow Empire" this time"

"The total sales of the language versions of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" are about to exceed 4 million! Monthly sales exceeding 5 million are just around the corner! ”

Delvin Press, editor-in-chief Lou is looking at the news and public opinion on the Internet.

The whole person is a little bad.

There's something wrong with this Bert Press.,It was fine before.,

Suddenly, it was like beating chicken blood, and suddenly increased the investment in publicity resources, dragging the parent society of Bert Publishing House North Comprehensive Publishing into the water.

For a while, countless celebrities were talking about "Shadow Empire" on social platforms...... It's as if the release time of "Shadow Empire" that was announced before, they only know now.

In a short period of time, it really suppressed "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals", which should have been the first hot.

"What's crazy about this Bert Press, isn't "Shadow Empire" still half a month away from being released, and now it's so hyped?"

"If you continue to promote it day by day, waiting for the official release, readers are tired of this information."

"What to do then, is this necessary? "Shadow Empire" needs to create this kind of heat? ”

Editor-in-Chief Lou said with a frown.

The assistant next to him raised his head, glanced at her, and didn't dare to speak,

It seems that when "The Shepherd Boy Seeks Immortals" was published, it was not promoted in advance.

At that time, there was a lot of movement.

However, the assistant considered his salary and did not dare to say.

Editor-in-Chief Lou was still frowning and watching,

For "Shadow Empire" to publicize or not, Editor-in-Chief Lou doesn't care,

But the key is that now it has robbed the popularity of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals".

Sure enough, this Burt Press is not a good thing,

It's a pity that ABC cooperates with such a shameless publishing house, if it were also in our publishing house......

“…… Editor-in-Chief Lou, why don't we increase publicity...... And our publicity effect is definitely better than theirs, after all, we have a book, and "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" is really on sale. "Shadow Empire" hasn't been filmed yet. ”

"It is definitely necessary to increase investment in publicity, and it is impossible for this Burt publishing house to steal the popularity of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" in vain, so I will discuss it with others...... You go to the notice meeting! ”

"Now that Bert Press has made a move, we have to keep up with it! The sales of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" will exceed 4 million, which is not comparable to the popularity of a book that has not been released? ”

Editor-in-chief Lou said categorically.

And then......

The two publishing houses rolled up against each other,

In terms of the popularity of Europa and even the entire Internet, it is simply a fairy fight.

……

"The total sales of overseas versions of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" in various languages officially exceeded 4 million, and Delvin Publishing issued an announcement to thank readers for their support on behalf of the author!"

"The "Shadow Empire" signed book will be forwarded to the lottery, and after winning the award, a copy of "Shadow Empire" signed by Mr. A will be obtained after the official release of "Shadow Empire"!"

"The famous writer Fřawk-chant praised 'The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals' as a great fairy tale."

"The famous publishing giant said he had read 'Shadow Empire', and it was a great book......"

On the Internet,

Delvin Press and Burt Press, for the popularity of the works published by their respective publishers,

It's really a combination of means, you sing and I will appear.

The whole web is buzzing.

“……”

And at this time, sitting in front of the computer,

Looking at the news on the Internet, Al was a little silent.

He didn't know which god he had offended,

The road to publishing the excellent work "The Ordinary and the Great" is always a bumpy one.

Seeing that the popularity of "Ordinary and Great" has improved with word of mouth.

As a result, the two big publishing houses, Delvin and Bert, were fighting at this time.

Forget about fighting, don't hurt the pond fish.

Al Publishing House is pure bad luck and has been affected.

Al Publishing House is a small publishing house, in addition to some publicity that can be provided as much as possible,

The word-of-mouth spread of "Ordinary and Great" mainly depends on the tap water of readers.

Naturally, there is no way to compete with these two major publishing houses for promotional resources.

Bert Press relied on its parent company, and Delvin Press frantically poured propaganda resources.

And Al Press...... Can only watch.

Originally,

With the quality reputation of "Ordinary and Great",

Even in the gap between the two publishing houses,

The popularity of "Ordinary and Great" can also exist tenaciously in the cracks,

Now it's okay, the two publishing houses are fighting fiercely, and even the cracks are gone.

I didn't see the two publishing houses that fought fiercely, which one completely pressed down and lost it.

But Al Publishing is a little uncomfortable.

There was silence for a while,

Al moved silently again,

Directly search for topics and posts related to "Ordinary and Great" on social platforms,

Waiting for the search results to come out,

Al breathed a sigh of relief.

Although on the bright side, the popularity of "Ordinary and Great" was frantically poured into the resources of the two publishing houses,

was inundated, but in fact, the discussion about "Ordinary and Great" is still increasing,

The loyal readers of "Ordinary and Great" are still working hard for "Ordinary and Great" to be seen by more readers.

This reassures Al.

He didn't believe that those two publishing houses could continue to pour out promotional resources like this.

Even if it is really poured like this, I am not afraid, anyway, the popularity of "Ordinary and Great" is also continuing to grow.

In this way, readers are working on it, and it would be good for Al Press to continue to work it.

He has enough faith in "The Ordinary and the Great".
