Lu Yu took the manuscript, and at first glance, he saw the three block letters on the first page of the manuscript - yellow earth.

After seeing the title of the book, he nodded secretly.

Writers of this era have a special feature of writing, where people write stories of which place.

The title may not be catchy, but it tells the reader exactly where the story takes place.

He then looked at the text.

Unexpectedly, the first paragraph of the story attracted him, and in a few simple sentences, he explained the former occupation of the protagonist of the story, he had fought a war, and he was most likely a soldier.

And why would a strong-willed soldier be so sensitive to the echo of the hollow valley, and even feel afraid?

He became more and more interested, and in the beginning, enough to entice the reader to keep reading.

Then, it is the memories of the protagonist that lead to the whole story.

At this glance, he was out of control, and he was deeply immersed in the storyline of the novel.

I don't know how long it took, but Lu Yu closed the manuscript with a sigh.

At this time, Jian Xing couldn't help but ask: "Editor Lu, is Yulou's new work qualified enough?" ”

What he said was not qualified was naturally whether he was qualified to be published in literary magazines.

Lu Yu came back to his senses from the world in the novel, only to find that Jiang Yulou and Jian Xing were looking at him.

Hearing Jian Xing's question, Lu Yu pondered for a moment and replied: "It's completely standard, and it can even be said to be a work above the standard!" ”

Not to mention the current Shaanxi literary circle, there are many writers whose writing is stronger than Jiang Yulou, but there are very few writers who can write works with such profound connotations.

Jian Xing didn't expect that Lu Yu would give Jiang Yulou's second work such a high evaluation, doesn't this mean that Yulou is about to publish his second work?

Lu Yu glanced at Jiang Yulou, who was smiling honestly, and said with emotion: "To be honest, after reading Yulou's "Yellow Earth", I thought that I would be in a very happy mood, after all, I accidentally read a good book. However, at this time, my mood was depressed. The boundless yellow earth, as well as the mighty soup and the surging water of the Yellow River, should have brought people freedom, and people should also be free.

But what about reality?

Heavy thoughts are tightly pressed on the hearts of the people who have lived on the Loess Plateau for generations, and they will not relax for a moment. Because of the letter of the heavenly tour, and the end of the letter of the heavenly tour, how much bitterness and sorrow is contained in it!

Yulou, this work of yours is very in-depth and very connotative! It's really a rare and good work! ”

Even though he knew that he was reading a novel, he was still depressed and felt sorry for Cui Qiao's ending.

But he also knew that in that era when the remnants of feudalism were entrenched, Cui Qiao's ending was the reality.

If it is a happy ending, the artistry and literature of this work will be greatly reduced.

Hearing this, Jian Xingchong Lu Yu gave a thumbs up and agreed: "As the editor of "Yanhe", I just feel that reading Yulou's novel is full of pictures, and I can't stop reading it, but I don't think about something deep. ”

"Brother Lu, if you keep boasting, I'm going to blush." Jiang Yulou scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Lu Yu looked at the young Jiang Yulou, and felt a trance in his heart, how did he do it?

The writing of this "Yellow Earth" is still a little immature, but compared with his first work "Li Shisan's Push and Grind", there has been a significant improvement.

Moreover, the story and literary nature are incomparable to the former, and the profundity is worthy of a special commentator's article and a discussion.

The topicality generated by it can definitely arouse a big discussion among the whole people.

Such a work, if it is a great writer who has been famous for a long time, he can still accept it calmly. However, Jiang Yulou is only eighteen years old!

For the first time, Lu Yu felt the unevenness of the world.

After sighing at Jiang Yulou's talent again, he asked the long-buried doubt: "Yulou, where did you get the inspiration for "Yellow Earth" from?" ”

"It's 'Orchid Flower'," Jiang Yulou replied.

"Smack." Lu Yu patted his head and said with a look of shame: "Oh, I should have thought of it a long time ago!" ”

He is a native of northern Shaanxi, and it is said that he is more familiar with the northern Shaanxi folk song "Orchid Flower" than Jiang Yulou.

Lu Yu asked again: "So, is Gu Qing's experience in your novel a part of the experience of Director Zhou of the Education Department?" ”

"That's right." Jiang Yulou nodded, then raised his eyebrows, and asked rhetorically, "Brother Lu can see it?" ”

"I'm from northern Shaanxi, and I'm too familiar with the story of "Orchid Flower". Lu Yu sighed.

But it's because it's too ripe that the lights go dark.

"By the way, Yulou, do you have any ideas for publishing this work?"

"Published?" Jiang Yulou's tone was flat.

Jian Xing was in a hurry, squeezed his eyebrows at him and said, "Oh, it's a pity that such a good work is not published." ”

"Yes, if it is not published, won't there be a very good book for readers across the country? What a loss for our readers! Lu Yu echoed.

After Jiang Yulou pondered for a moment, he asked, "Have you ever published your thoughts, do you have any recommendations from Brother Lu?" ”

Lu Yu smiled in his heart, knowing his thoughts.

It's not that I don't want to publish it, but I don't want to publish it in "Yanhe".

Jiang Yulou has this kind of thought, and he understands it.

So, Lu Yu said: "Yulou, I said before, your work is very well written, and I once thought about letting you post it in our magazine." After thinking about it, forget it, our magazine is not suitable for this work. ”

"Why is that?" Jian Xing hurriedly asked.

Jiang Yulou also looked at Lu Yu, wanting to see what he had to say.

Lu Yu smiled slightly and said: "Our magazine is still biased towards poetry and prose, and novels are also available, but the proportion is not large, and the influence of novels is limited to the northwest. If Yulou agrees to it for the sake of face, won't it affect the expansion of the influence of the work when it is published in our magazine? So I thought about it and didn't mention it. ”

Jiang Yulou smiled honestly and said, "It's still Brother Lu who thinks far-reaching." ”

"It's a shame." Jian Xing felt a little regretful.

"Yanhe" is a magazine of which his teacher is the editor-in-chief, and he definitely hopes that Jiang Yulou's novel will be published on it.

When the time comes, his face will also shine.

Lu Yu patted him on the shoulder: "It's a bit of a pity, but our magazine can publish two poems by Yulou, and I'm satisfied." With the quality of those two poems, the impact after publication is no less than that of "Yellow Earth". ”

He continued: "Yulou, my suggestion for "Yellow Earth" is to send it to "Harvest". ”

The style of "Harvest" magazine is simple and elegant, mainly publishing medium, long and short stories, and is a representative magazine of domestic literature.

The most important thing is that "Harvest" was founded by Ba Jin.
