Dirt Dirt –

With the sound of a whistle, the cruise ship leaves the port of Calais.

On the deck, Gu Hongming subconsciously looked back at the dock.

There are a lot of students gathered on the docks,

They were all from the University of Paris, and the people in the front row were holding three banners stitched together.

It reads in French:

——

Thank you, Professor Lu!

We all love The Little Prince!

But we love you even more!

——

"Tsk......"

Gu Hongming was speechless, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and muttered to himself: "After six months, I went to Europe again, which really tortured my old bones." ”

Just then, someone came from behind,

"Hongming!"

Gu Hongming turned his head.

In front of me is a typical Qing Dynasty person,

Inside is a dark gray robe with a round neck and a large placket, and a horse coat on the outside.

The "pig tail" on the back of the head is very conspicuous.

This person's name is Lin Shu, the word Qinnan,

He is a modern Chinese writer, translator, calligrapher and painter, and one of the important founders of "Cangxia Jingshe", the predecessor of Fujian University of Science and Technology.

Gu Hongming looked each other up and down,

"Why are you still holding your luggage? You didn't say hello to the crew as I said? ”

Lin Shu was very confused,

"I've beaten it. Isn't it a 'silly donkey'? ”

Gu Hongming's face darkened,

"I taught you the pronunciation of two words, and you can't remember them. How many times have you said that 'silly donkey' is 'goodbye'...... Wait a minute...... I almost told you to go around it! ”

"Ah......h

Lin Shu was even more confused,

"Isn't it a 'stupid donkey'?"

Gu Hongming said: "Is that like a word? Of course it's not a 'stupid donkey'! It should be 'Salut'! If you pronounce 'silly donkey' according to your rules, does the French word 'hello' have to be transformed into 'Bonjour'? ”

Lin Shu suddenly realized: "It turns out that 'hello' is a 'stupid pig'. ”

!

10,000 grass and mud horses galloped through Gu Hongming's heart.

He didn't bother to dwell on it and asked the other party, "What the hell is going on?" Why didn't I put my luggage down? ”

Lin Shu sighed,

"Perhaps, the French, as you say, are very loose. I showed the ticket to the crew, and he took me to the cabin, only to find out that there was someone else's luggage inside. ”

Gu Hongming was a little surprised,

No matter how "profligate" the French are, they will not do this kind of thing of selling two votes.

It's outrageous!

He was pondering what was going on, when Lin Shu opened his mouth and asked, "Are you sure that Lu Shi is on this ship?" ”

Gu Hongming didn't answer, but pointed to the dock,

"It's written there~"

The cruise ship is drifting away,

The figures of the students at the University of Paris gradually faded into obscurity.

Lin Shu's speaking and listening skills are two knives, but he is an expert in reading and writing.

Of course he understands the content of the banner,

"I just saw that."

Gu Hongming speculated: "Lu Xiaoyou should be on this ship." I guess he's going to the U.S. for an exchange. ”

Lin Shu asked again: "What if you are not there?" ”

Gu Hongming continued: "Then we will disembark in Lisbon, that is, Portugal, and then take the overland back to the port of Calais to take the boat to London. Or, just take a boat and get off at Southampton and transfer to a train to London for a little more. ”

His books are popular in Europe and the United States, and travel expenses have never been a problem.

The key is time,

If you don't get to land, you'll have to stay in London for at least three months.

You can't chase Washington, can you?

Gu Hongming said: "Don't forget the three chapters of the covenant we just had, when you see Lu Xiaoyou, you must not ......"

Before he finished speaking, a crew member ran over,

He first cooed at Lin Shu in half-baked French for a while,

Seeing that Lin Shu was struggling, he switched to English.

But Lin Shu was still ignorant.

Gu Hongming, who was next to him, understood, and stepped forward to ask the crew: "You mean, there is a group of French scholars who have sat at the station and have not collected their luggage?" ”

The crew nodded again and again,

"Yes."

The reason for this is simply incredible.

There is still a slight possibility that the train has passed through the station,

Passing through the station on a cruise ship is really a knife for Gu Hongming's buttocks-

I opened my eyes.

The crew continued: "Still, the two can rest assured. The French scholars who occupy your cabin have said that they will not take it. ”

Gu Hongming snorted coldly,

"Are they going to give money?"

According to his knowledge of the arrogant nature of the French, it was indeed something they could do.

He continued: "I tell you unequivocally, no! Can! Yes! I've never ......."

Unexpectedly, the crew denied it: "'There will be no forcible occupation' means that those French scholars will carry their luggage out." Next on the trip to Lisbon, they stay at the club or in the corridor. ”

Gu Hongming was surprised,

"It's going to take almost two days to get from Canada to Lisbon, right?"

The crew replied: "A day and a half." However, this is also what they should bear. After all, they forgot to get off the boat. ”

After speaking, help the two of them pick up their luggage,

"Please follow me."

He led the way in front, because he was followed by two old men, and he also narrowed his stride very thoughtfully.

On the way, Gu Hongming explained the oolong incident to Lin Shu.

Because Gu Hongming controlled the speed of speech when communicating with the crew, Lin Shu also understood about sixty percent.

He agreed: "It's weird indeed. ”

The two were puzzled.

Gu Hongming couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore, and went back to the topic just now,

"You must not forget what I told you, don't touch Lu Xiaoyou's mold, just discuss your translation issues."

Lin Shu glanced at the other party and said in a low voice: "Hongming, didn't you also oppose vernacular writing before?" ”

Gu Hongming glared,

"Who told you I objected? What I'm against is just the half-baked vernacular. ”

Lin Shu snorted coldly,

"Before, who wrote 'The text doesn't matter about the ancients, but if it is Gu Yiyan, the more difficult it will be for the creator'? It's good now, 'what I'm against is just that kind of half-baked vernacular', turning your face faster than turning a book! The thought is laughable. ”

Gu Hongming's face suddenly turned red.

Historically, he was indeed a conservative opponent of vernacular literature, but his views were more moderate than those of Huang Kan, Lin Shu, Mei Guangdi, Zhang Shizhao and others.

Among these people, Lin Shu is the core,

He wrote "On the Growth and Decline of the Ancient Vernacular" and "To Cai Heqing's History Book", which made a big attack on the vernacular literary movement, and regarded it as a flood beast.

He also published "Jing Sheng" and "Demon Dream" in the "New Declaration" to insinuate attacks.

Of course, in those days, it was very common to argue with articles.

(Mr. Lu Xun is a good hand in this)

What's more, Lin Shu's response to Qian Xuantong's so-called "Tongcheng faction remnants" argument was passive and counterattacked.

Gu Hongming said: "People can change! How can the change of thinking and viewpoint be based on the previous and backward? ”

Lin Shu said again: "Hmph! "With a bang,

"You should go to Sichuan opera."

Gu Hongming was a little angry and said: "I still say the same thing, don't forget the three chapters of our covenant!" Otherwise, I won't introduce you to it. ”

Lin Shu said: "Why do you need to be introduced? You should see me when you are on the land. ”

The "should" of the god meow.

Gu Hongming's face darkened,

He couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Lu,

At that time, he was also very supportive, and asked when he opened his mouth: "Why did Mr. Lu cut his braids?" ”

Now that I think about it, it's annoying!

But in comparison, it seems that Lin Shu is a little more annoying.

Gu Hongming shook his head,

"Hmph, when you eat the closed door, you will naturally know how powerful Lu Xiaoyou is."

Lu Shi has just debuted, and he dares to stun himself,

With his current status in Europe and the United States, he must be more ruthless in provoking people.

Lin Shu said: "I also translate...... Hmmm......"

He looked ahead.

Led by the crew, the two had already arrived at the cabin door.

I saw a few French scholars in suits and leather shoes carrying their luggage, and at the same time, they were not idle, discussing a film called "The Call of Cthulhu".

"To be honest, I've never seen that kind of weird writing."

"Do you think it's scary?"

"Horror? Not when I read it. But after reading it, I will feel afraid, and when I think about it from time to time, I can't help but stand on end. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I feel that way, too. ”

"That's why I said that Sir Lu is really an all-rounder, and what he writes is."

……

The French communicate with each other, and the speed of speech is, of course, fast.

Lin Shu only understood Sancheng,

He turned to Gu Hongming,

"I think I heard 'Sir Lu' just now."

Gu Hongming was shocked,

"Horror literature? Lu Xiaoyou actually wrote horror literature. ”

He stepped forward quickly, communicated with the French, and then walked back to find Lin Shu and said in a low voice: "Go!" Let's go to the top! The previous conjecture was indeed correct, Lu Xiaoyou was on this boat! ”

Lin Shu said: "What are you anxious about! Put your luggage first! ”

"Ah......h

Gu Hongming was a little embarrassed,

"I almost forgot."

The two of them put their luggage away and walked to the top together.

Lin Shu muttered: "The top deck is first class, right?" Hongming, Lu Shi can still spend money than you. ”

Gu Hongming's head is full of black lines,

￣□￣｜｜

It is said to be "spending money", but in fact it is "making money".

In terms of income, there are few people in Europe today who can compare with Lu Shi.

Together, they go to the top.

Surprisingly, the corridors that should have been deserted due to the lack of travelers were filled to the brim.

Of the three first-class cabins, the one in the middle has an open door,

A young Asian male stood in the doorway and was preaching:

"Sometimes, the literature of fear is detached from the real thing, not monsters, tentacles, eyeballs, diseases, but a kind of tremor and panic that shakes people's belief in survival."

Lin Shu asked in a low voice, "Is he Lu Shi?" ”

Gu Hongming said "um", and then said: "Don't ask, I want to hear it." ”

Lin Shu: "......"

He actually wants to hear it, too.

It's just that after listening to Lu Shi's lecture just now, he found that his speech speed is very fast, his pronunciation is also beautiful, and his requirements for listening are not high.

Lin Shu asked speechlessly: "He cut his braids?" ”

Gu Hongming rolled his eyes in his heart,

If it weren't for relying on the Qing government to abolish the imperial examination and run a new school, he would even want to cut his braids.

At this time, someone among the French raised his hand,

"Professor Lu, why? Why detach from the physical object? ”

Lu Shi spread his hands and said, "Have you read the "Mirror"? How is the manga version inside? ”

The man immediately replied, "Of course I did!" I like "I Am a Cat" very much, and the painting is very vivid. ”

Lu Shi said: "Have you thought about it? If a great painter were to paint a terrifying scene with oil painting, would it be more impactful in comparison? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene was silent.

In fact, Lu Shi's judgment comes from modern times,

The sensory stimulation that modern people receive is very strong, and the horror presented by movies and pictures is far greater than the horror of words.

This makes the threshold for terror high in modern man.

And the indescribable horror of the Cthulhu Mythos often needs words to express it, and it is a failure to draw it.

This is its advantage.

Of course, it is also a disadvantage,

Because once it is poorly written, it will make the reader drowsy.

Lin Shu watched Lu Shi lecturing above, and the French below listened carefully, and even took a notebook to "rustle" and record,

The whole scene is like an absurd play.

And so it went two hours,

Lu Shi stretched,

"Guys, it's almost time to rest. You just vomited at noon, and you have no appetite to eat, and if you don't eat in the evening, I'm afraid you'll be so hungry that your chest is close to your back. ”

Verne got up,

"Professor Lu is right, we should eat. Anyway, there is still time in the evening. ”

Land Hours: ???

"Aren't you going back to your room to rest?"

Verne said: "Of course I have to rest, but I can't go back to my room." If we get off the boat a day late but don't buy a ticket, we will naturally be kicked out. ”

Lu Shi suddenly realized, and then remembered that there was such a thing.

I have to say that the French are extravagant,

They had only half a day's flight from London to Calais, and they had to book a room to rest.

It can only be said that business trips at public expense are fearless.

Lu Shi said: "Then you can only rest in the club." ”

Verne waved his hand,

"No, no, we'll rest here at night. First class tickets are expensive, and you are the only one in the three cabins that are activated, so the top deck is very quiet and just right for resting. ”

Lu Shi: "......"

I was sure that if these French people were to lay on the floor, the corridor on the top floor would have nothing to do with the word "quiet".

He asked, "You don't want to listen to me at night, do you?" ”

Verne smiled innocently,

"Rest is the main thing, and listening to lectures is just by the way."

Lu Shi is helpless,

"Okay. You're going to ...... in Lisbon anyway I warn you, don't go with you to the United States! ”

Verne looked embarrassed, as if his plan had been punctured,

He continued to smile innocently,

"How could that be? Of course not! We're not so bored that we want to see you write other horror literature or the second part of Harry Potter~"

This old brother has spoken everything in his heart.

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"Come on. If you can't buy a cabin ticket, you can't even sleep on the floor for more than a month. ”

This is a problem,

The French also had to accept reality.

They discussed going out.

Lu Shi looked at their backs and saw Lin Shu and Gu Hongming standing at the other end of the corridor.

Before crossing, he had seen Lin Shu's black and white photos, so he had some impressions, so he stepped forward and greeted the two: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Gu, why are you on this boat?" If you go to the United States, you don't need to go around the world! ”

Gu Hongming shook his head with a smile,

"We're here for you. Before, I asked you to write a textbook, and you wrote "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli", which was ...... in China."

Before the words fell, Lin Shu took half a step forward,

"Mr. Lu Shi, I read your masterpiece "Lord of the Flies" and was deeply shocked."

This sentence "deeply shocked" sounds a lot like yin and yang.

Lu Shi reacted immediately,

The points of the opposing yin and yang are:

Vernacular.

He looked each other up and down, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that, in addition to French, Mr. Lin actually understands Japanese?" Or do you read the French version? ”

Lin Shu must see it in the vernacular,

Therefore, if you talk about yin and yang weirdness, Lu Shi can be more than an order of magnitude higher.

After all, it is a person who has been exposed to social media in modern times, and when you carry the keyboard, your combat effectiveness can soar.

Lin Shu's face was red and white,

I really can't say anything like "I'm reading the vernacular version".

He said: "I read Chinese. ”

Lu Shi was surprised,

"Have you finished reading it?"

Lin Shu nodded,

"Of course, I read it. Otherwise, what should I judge you? ”

Lu Shi was even more surprised, and said: "I thought that if you saw that it was a vernacular text, you wouldn't read it anymore~"

It's another wave of yin and yang.

Lin Shu's face was still red and white just now, but now it has turned purple.

He looked at Gu Minghong next to him, his eyes flickering.

Gu Hongming said silently with his mouth: "There are three chapters of the law." ”

Lin Shu shook his head,

"It's not me, it's him."

This sentence is not answered with lip service.

Gu Hongming's face darkened,

"You...... The surname is Lin, you don't know what to do! Wasn't it the phrase 'deeply shocked' that you just said that took the initiative to provoke? ”

Lin Shu is indeed provocative,

But that sentence can also be regarded as Lu Shi's glass heart, which is misunderstood.

When he turned to land,

"Lu Shi...... Mr. Lu is a generous person, and he should be able to hear that I didn't mean to provoke just now. However, since we talked about vernacular Chinese, we might as well continue to discuss this topic and talk about the advantages of ancient Chinese and vernacular Chinese. ”

Lu Shi spreads his hands,

"Who told you I was generous?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was eerily quiet,

“……”

“……”

“……”

Lin Shu looked at Lu Shi in confusion,

"Huh?"
