"What did she do before?" Katy and Zhang Su walked together.

"Vtuber, the holster man, is doing live streaming." Zhang Su explained.

"Whew!" Katie didn't understand.

"It's that now there are a lot of factory girls who should have entered the factory, and the image of the whole animated villain has started to broadcast live, everyone can watch it hard, and give them money, in order to escape reality on the Internet and find some psychological comfort. Although they are very rich, after all, the cultural level is stuck there, so things often happen. Zhang Su said.

"I don't understand." Katy Road.

"We'll watch it together when we have time." Zhang Su said.

"Why?" Katy frowned, "Why are you watching?" ”

"Think of it as a date." Zhang Su said.

"What...... Do you want to stay together? I'm going...... Ready to prepare. Katie reacted and walked away immediately, she needed a change of clothes, a new hat, and maybe a wash.

Zhang Su returned to the office to prepare for class.

Then I went to the classroom to teach the children, and today I am talking about the article "My Uncle Hule", written by Maupassant.

Maupassant's novels are very familiar to Zhang Su, and they basically revolve around the petty citizens and civil servants of the time, and the characters in them are hypocritical, snobbish, despicable, and usually colluded with demons to filth and degenerate.

As a result of the demonic invasion, the war of resistance on the continent has become more and more severe, and there is no hope until the human defense plan is formed. His writing style is basically a realistic approach, reproducing the social picture of the French people at that time who were mediocre and empty, and their behavior was obscene. Only in "Two Friends" it is written that two good brothers fish together, and then decide to fight against the demon bewitchment is more enthusiastic.

Zhang Su thinks he's okay, not a real first-rate master, but he is also famous, and the content is easy to understand, which is just right for children. Maupassant himself died in a duel provoked by demons in disguise, and before his death was very devastation, and only half of his works have survived.

When he arrived at the classroom, Zhang Su moved the textbooks from the library reading room to the classroom and taught everyone.

"Let's open the book, and we're going to talk about 'My Uncle Hule' today." Zhang Su nodded, and there was a sound of flipping books in the classroom, and Saho, Yuanori, Xia Xi, Lian Yang and Murohua were all studying hard.

Zhang Su led them to read aloud.

"My family is originally from Le Havre, not a wealthy family, but fortunately far from the front lines of the demonic war. My father worked and came back from the office very late and didn't make much money. I have two older sisters......"

The kitten's ears twitched, and she liked the teacher's serious, strong tone to tell the story.

The other children are also immersed in the story, and every day during class, they forget for a moment that Ansanin is a witch shelter and think of it as a real school.

They each read it a few times, and then Zhang Su explained some of the main points in it. Since the outbreak of demons, human literary and artistic activities have become more and more desolate, but modern works have been preserved more.

When this novel is selected as a text, the first paragraph of the original book is often deleted, which is this paragraph:

"'A poor old man with a white beard begged us for alms. My companion Joseph Dafranc gave him a silver coin of five francs. I was a little surprised. Then he said to me, "This poor man reminds me of a past that I will never forget." I'm going to tell you about it. ’”

"Can you understand why the first paragraph of the original text should be omitted?" Zhang Su asked.

"Because it's too long." Saho is tired of reading.

"Because...... Too boring? "Mercy is absent-minded.

"It doesn't work for fiction?" Murohua said sharply.

"You've all said that this part is actually a 'flashback' technique, which is to tell a certain plot first, and then go back and tell how the whole story developed. When writing, be careful with flashbacks, as it can interrupt the story that is currently in progress and forcibly pull the reader back in time. Zhang Su explained.

"I watched an old anime "Demon Slayer", and the first scene is the protagonist running in the snow with the unconscious Bean, and then the protagonist goes to the village to sell charcoal or something." Lianyang was thoughtful.

"That's right, it's a classic flashback, showing the protagonist in trouble first, and then going back in time, leaving the audience to wonder when the 'crisis' will happen while watching. When we write, we have to try to let the story develop one after the other, otherwise it will cause confusion. Zhang Su explained.

"But there seems to be another technique called 'pre-narration'?" Lianyang asked.

"Who asked you?" Haho interjected.

"Don't get in the way of asking questions." Zhang Su taught Saho a lesson.

It seems that the lazy Pian Yang is finally interested in literature? Zhang Su was very pleased.

"To get back to the point, 'pre-narration' is to foreshadow the ending in advance. For example, in Greek legend, when Queen Troy gave birth to Paris, she dreamed that she gave birth to a burning cabinet of fire that burned the city of Troy. This is how the destruction of Troy is told in advance. Zhang Su explained.

"Oh......" Lian Yang put her hands on her cheeks, and now she feels that the teacher is really knowledgeable.

"Is this Paris the one who was entangled by three witches and demanded a decision on the ownership of the golden apple?" Murohana listened to Lianwu tell this story in the reading room.

"Yes, but we're talking about 'my uncle Hule' today. It is about the family who originally heard that their uncle Hule was very rich, so they looked forward to it every day, and when they found out that Hule was a poor man, they sneered at him. What do you think of the family's behavior? Zhang Su asked.

"I want to eat oysters!" Natsuki said.

"Oysters will have it." Zhang Su nodded, "But have you finished reading the text?" ”

"How do you write oysters?" Natsuki studies hard.

"I don't think their family is sincere." "If I have the chance, I want to try the magic of 'sincerity' with others again. ”

"It's rare." Zhang Su shook his head.

He arranged a classic study, the theme of which is a small essay, starting with "Uncle Hule has become a rich man again", hoping that everyone will be free to play, gallop their imagination, and continue to write about what happened after that.

……

New Tokyo, Witch Countermeasures Bureau.

"Surprise attack on the gates of hell on Mt. Kagura? Councilor Yuke Mihashi, you're a little too extreme. Edith raised an eyebrow.

She picked up the glass on the table, the liquid as red as blood, just as her lips were the color.

"Yes, Mt. Kagura is located in the Echigo region, and once the demons pour out of it, it can easily threaten New Tokyo, which is only two hundred kilometers away in a straight line." Yu Mihashi calmly explained at the table.

"That would cost too much manpower and material resources, unless there is a volunteer team that can investigate the situation of the Hell Gate of Kagura Mountain in advance and set off from the 'Dongzhou Wall'." Edith whispered.

"The economic crisis in Dongming is getting deeper and deeper, and it is necessary to divert the attention of the people, whether it is a good reason to take a knife with the devil, or the kind that can be used again and again, the devil is all over the world, killing people like hemp. People will understand the righteousness of fighting against demons, and announcements about war can stimulate the economy. Yu Mihashi explained.

"It will also promote capital outflows, and once the campaign is lost, who knows how many people will die." Edith laughed.

"Prime Minister Hikoshiro Nagai is trying to raise a plan from us to revive the economy, and we are also very troubled, this is the only feasible way, otherwise the giant ship of Dongming Province will sink in the ocean. And...... I heard that the vicinity of Mt. Kagura is a sanctuary for witches in Shinshu. Mitsuhashi frowned.

"So what?" Edith looked into Mihashi's eyes and read a hint of anxiety in them.

"I've heard that Larojie was shipped there." Yu Mihashi said.

"This is not the news that can be obtained by 'hearing', your news network is really powerful, and it deserves to be a new star in Dongming Kingdom." Edith whispered.

"I want to ask for her pardon, I want her to leave the house." Mihashi Yu suddenly got up, losing his usual demeanor, "Please, as long as Lalujie is released, I will fully support the Witch Countermeasures Bureau regarding the proposal to increase the donation and increase the share of funding." ”
