Chapter 168: I'll Tell You Next Time
Xingqiu slandered in his heart:
Why didn't he say it? I just don't want them to know!
Being seen by acquaintances as immature, what is the difference between this and being naked in public?
He felt like his toes were going to buckle out of the three-room apartment.
"I'll tell you next time." He laughed far-fetched.
It seems that the pen name [Pillow Jade] can no longer be used.
It's a pity that his book is not finished yet......
But it's okay, no one reads it anyway, so he just continues to write and not publish it in private.
"Hu Tao, how do you know I'm writing?"
Xingqiu really wanted to know how Hu Tao knew he was writing, and he couldn't remember where he was exposed.
"Well, Albedo told me."
Speaking of this, Hu Tao crossed his waist, "The master of this hall is your poetry friend and confidant, and you can't even write to your confidant!" If it weren't for Albedo, I wouldn't know this! ”
It's a hemp line.
Why did Hu Tao know Albedo!
There are so many people in Mondstadt and Liyue, how did these two know each other?
I already knew to tell Albedo not to tell others about the fact that he was [Pillow Jade].
Also, when did they become confidants?
He sneered, and could only explain far-fetchedly, "It's just an immature work, how embarrassed to tell you ......"
"That's not right for you!" Chongyun crossed his waist, feeling that Xingqiu didn't believe them.
Originally, he just thought that Xingqiu was embarrassed to say it, but now it seems that he deliberately didn't tell them.
"It's a good thing that you write this, do you think we'll oppose it and stop you?"
Xingqiu waved his hand awkwardly: "No, I didn't mean that......"
It has always been Xingqiu who teases others, and this eldest young master has rarely had such an embarrassing time.
Where is he afraid of their opposition?
He just couldn't get past that level on his own, and he felt ashamed.
Chongyun, this guy, always can't grasp the point.
"Hmph~" Hu Tao put his hands around his chest, and he couldn't see through it.
She didn't tell him that she had already bought "Shen Qiu Sword Record", and she just told him that she hadn't bought it because she didn't want him to escape.
"Let's go, let's find a teahouse and talk about writing, I have already written the specific outline, and Albedo is responsible for the illustration, and now I will almost start writing!"
Hu Tao patted Xingqiu on the shoulder and walked forward with him, so that he would not run away suddenly.
"Great writer, you have to guide me well! You can't hide it! ”
Jiang Bai's gaze fell on Hu Tao's hand on Xingqiu's shoulder, and then the next moment, he jumped over from the other side, naturally brushed Hu Tao's hand away, and grabbed Xingqiu's shoulder.
"Yes, this matter is very important to us, we can't be sloppy!"
Xingqiu was pushed forward, and the far-fetched smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more stiff.
He is now ashamed and ashamed, and he can't run, so he can only accept his fate.
"What do you want to write? Why did you suddenly want to write? Chongyun took out his popsicle and asked curiously as he walked.
"yes? Why did you suddenly want to write? Xingqiu, who had been disturbed by shame for a long time, finally remembered to ask about it.
"Well, it's related to a business of our Afterlife Hall, and the client entrusted us to help him publish a book to write the story of the snow-capped mountains buried deep in the snow, so as not to let them be buried in the wind and snow of history......"
In the teahouse, Hu Tao, who opened a private room, slowly explained what happened.
"I see, I really have to write it carefully." Xingqiu nodded, holding his chin thoughtfully.
If Hu Tao just wants to write a joke on a whim, then it would be good for him to do it.
But if the last wish of the great adventurer is also related to the history of the past, then it must be written well.
"For the sake of circulation and readability, I have already discussed with the client before, and I will narrate his adventures in the snowy mountains in the third person in the form, and also use his name as the name of the protagonist......"
"That's what I thought at the beginning, the protagonist [Katis] found an old notebook when he was packing up at home, which was left by his grandfather, his grandfather was a big adventurer, his grandfather hid a precious treasure in the notebook, and in order to find the treasure, he came to the snowy mountain according to the clues in the notebook......"
Listening to Hu Tao's narration, Xingqiu agreed, "Throwing [treasure] as an incentive at the beginning is indeed a good way to promote the development of the story, and 'treasure' can also attract readers very well." ”
After coming to the snowy mountain, he originally wanted to find the treasure according to the instructions of the notebook, but found a lot of anomalies, strange ruins, old murals, stone tablets hidden by heavy snow, and the ghost of a beautiful and melancholy girl......
"The protagonist is the only one who can see this ghost, and among them, he walks with the ghost of the girl, and after going through countless hardships and dangers, he falls in love with the girl......"
"But later, the girl disappeared, and the protagonist kept looking for him, and also discovered the true identity of the girl, it turned out that she was the princess of the ancient country thousands of years ago, and she has been staying here, waiting for her lover and waiting for the day when the wind and snow disappear......"
Despite the simplicity of Hu Tao's narration, the twists and turns are really fascinating.
Xingqiu had to admit that Hu Tao was very good at telling stories.
Even though he has read a lot, he is also attracted by this story and is eager to know the future development.
Hearing her stop narrating, Chongyun asked, "What happened later?" ”
Jiang Bai can be said to be very clear about the story of Snow Mountain Fen's Neil, but at this time he also wants to know what the ending of Hu Tao's story is.
Later, the protagonist climbs to the top of the mountain and sees the culprit who caused the heavy snowfall, as well as the body of the princess who has been frozen for many years and has long since died.
For some reason, he regained the memories of his previous life, but he was still powerless against the culprit who caused the heavy snow, and in despair, he could only dig the princess's body out of the ice, hug his lover, and die in the cold.
"The princess finally waited for the hero to return, but she never saw the flowers bloom again."
"Can't we have a happy ending?" Chongyun sounded a little uncomfortable.
"You don't understand, only tragedy is impressive." Xingqiu is quite experienced with this.
Hu Tao poured a sip of tea, moistened his throat, which was thirsty from talking too much, and agreed with Xingqiu's words.
"That's right, that's right! Snow Mountain is originally a sad story, there is no need to deliberately write a happy ending, only unsatisfactory can make people linger and unforgettable, so as to make this book spread more widely! ”
Xingqiu slapped his face, his eyes brightened amazingly, "I'll join this book!" ”
Although the genre of this book is completely different from his book "Shenqiu Sword Record", how could he miss such a wonderful story!
