Chapter 59 This is not his level(1/2)
"Luxing? Is the novel written by Li Ye actually "Luxing"?"
""
After learning that Li Ye’s novel was called “Louching”, Lu Jingyao didn’t speak any further all night, which made her younger brother Lu Zixue very angry, saying that she “has hard wings, has a big temper, and doesn’t know anyone anymore.”
However, after the "money fee incident", Lu Jingyao was no longer the same as before. She was no longer willing to betray herself to cater to others. She pretended not to see her brother's eyes.
After tossing and turning all night, Lu Jingyao got up before dawn, quietly went out, and walked all the way to the county town.
It takes three hours to walk thirty miles. At 8 o'clock in the morning, Lu Jingyao rushed to Xinhua Bookstore in Qingshui County.
She took off her scarf, rubbed her face numb from cold, and asked the salesperson: "Hello, is there "Luxing" here?"
The salesperson sat at the counter with a wooden face and said impatiently: "No, don't you come and ask all day long, are you annoying?"
Lu Jingyao didn't sleep all night and walked for another three hours. When she encountered this kind of service attitude, she suddenly became angry.
It is true that salespeople are very arrogant these days, but college students are not arrogant?
"Who has come to ask all day long? What kind of service attitude is your attitude? Is the service of the people hanging on your wall fake? Who are you showing it to?"
"Oh, how do you talk? Who are you scolding?"
"Shaking face" is the dialect of the north. The native salesperson girl couldn't understand it. She decided it was a swearing word and immediately stood up and scolded Lu Jingyao.
This scolding provoked the bookstore managers. It was the end of the twelfth lunar month, and there were already people on the streets who were going to the market to buy New Year’s goods. If they didn’t deal with it quickly, it would be embarrassing to attract onlookers in a while!
"Oh, ah, don't scold me! Xiao Hu, please pay attention to your attitude, please calm down this girl, what's going on?"
The salesperson was about to speak, but Lu Jingyao rushed to say, "This leader, you judge. I came here to buy books early in the morning and asked her if there was any "Land" in a angrily voice. She would whisper to me."
The salesperson hurriedly defended: "Uncle Wu is not like this, she scolds people."
"Okay, OK, I'll solve this matter. Xiao Hu, come and help me organize your New Year's goods later."
Uncle Wu rushed the pouting salesperson to the back and explained to Lu Jingyao: "The child is ignorant. Many people have come to ask about the book "Luxing" these days, but we don't have one here. The emphasis is a little higher, don't mind."
When people were kind enough, Lu Jingyao naturally couldn't be angry anymore. She calmed down and asked, "Are there many people coming to buy "The Hidden" these days?"
"Many," said Uncle Wu, "most of them are students and teachers from No. 1 Middle School, and people from the grain system, but we really don't have one here, even Xinhua Bookstore in the city."
"There is nothing in the city? Why?"
Lu Jingyao was surprised. Although she inferred from Liu Muhan's obsession with reading, the book "Luxing" should be "inspiring", it was strange that there was no Xinhua Bookstore in the city.
Uncle Wu explained: "Because this book was just published and launched at the end of the year, the first edition was printed with 100,000 copies.
But the market reaction was too abnormal. It almost sold out in provincial capitals. There were not many books that could even go to the first-level bookstore in the city, so I couldn’t reach our small county town at all. Otherwise, you go to the provincial capital to take a look?"
"Is it so easy to sell?"
Lu Jingyao murmured to himself and left the county Xinhua Bookstore.
Outside the county Xinhua Bookstore is a long street, leading to the county No. 2 Middle School to the east and the bus stop to the west.
Lu Jingyao thought for a long time and gritted her teeth and walked towards the bus stop.
She was going to the provincial capital to see what magic "The Hidden" has, which could seduce so many people to "lost their ambitions".
The ticket from Qingshui County to the provincial capital costs 45 cents, and you can buy a pound of fat meat back and forth. Usually, Lu Jingyao can't bear it, but today she really can't stand it.
I can't stand the burning fire in my heart.
[How can Li Ye publish a novel? How can he earn a few thousand yuan in royalties?]
【I can’t buy his novels? How is it possible?】
Lu Jingyao is also a man who has submitted manuscripts, so he naturally knows what it means to publish 100,000 copies at a time.
【Famous Writer?】
【Just him?】
....
In the winter in the north, the sun sets very early.
The last bus from the provincial capital to Qingshui County drove into the bus stop in the sunset.
The passengers in the car rushed to get off the bus and their paces dispersed everywhere in a hurry.
The transportation conditions in the county are limited, and nine out of ten townships are not open to traffic, so everyone has to rush home in the sunset.
The flight attendant who had been bumping for a day took out a broom and sweeped the garbage in the car, but found that a girl had not got off the car and was reading it in a daze with the book in her hand!
"Hey, the car has arrived at the station. Are you planning to live here today?"
"ah?"
Lu Jingyao, who was awakened, looked up and found that she had arrived in Qingshui County, and hurriedly ran down.
But as soon as she got off the car door, her feet became weak and she fell into trouble.
"Ahhhhhh, are you okay!"
The stingy flight attendant quickly got off the bus and helped Lu Jingyao up.
"It's okay, my legs are numb."
Lu Jingyao smiled awkwardly, staggered out of the station, and headed straight for a noodle shop not far away.
She went out before dawn this morning, and went straight to the provincial capital without eating breakfast.
After arriving at the provincial capital, I went to several bookstores but didn't have any stock. Only one said that the last batch of "Luxing" this year would arrive at noon.
Lu Jingyao was determined to buy "Luxing" today and waited until one pm.
The result is really funny. I was still queuing up to buy books.
Just queue up! You can go to the back door and it took more than an hour to buy it.
Then Lu Jingyao hurriedly took the bus back, and only then had time to turn on "Luxing" in the car.
Then, he looked up and arrived at the station.
Only then did she feel intense hunger.
Fortunately, during the holiday, the school sent out a few kilograms of national food coupons to everyone go home for the New Year. Otherwise, it would be troublesome for Lu Jingyao to eat a bowl of noodles at this time.
After drinking a bowl of hot green onion noodles, Lu Jingyao slowly recovered.
She touched the "Land" in her hand and shook her head slowly after a long time.
【This is not his level, it is weird!】
Lu Jingyao asked Li Ye's literary background clearly. At that time, they discussed poetry and prose with Xia Yue and others, and Li Ye was just a group of people who made up the numbers.
Now look at the various verbal modifications and plot descriptions in "The Hidden" and even if you don't believe that Lu Jingyao was written by Li Ye.
[It's just half a year since he was separated. Could it be that he has changed his own?]
Thinking of this, Lu Jingyao felt like three kittens were burrowing into her heart and lungs, making her restless.
She really wanted to go directly to Li Ye and ask what was going on?
But when she thought of the last time Li Ye’s letter said, “Don’t meet again in the future”, she couldn’t afford that shamelessness.
Suddenly, Lu Jingyao remembered Wen Leyu.
She promised Teacher Ke to take care of Wen Leyu, who has been teaching at the County No. 2 Middle School and must know some inside information.
Lu Jingyao immediately had the strength and walked quickly towards the No. 2 Middle School of the County.
When she entered the county No. 2 Middle School, she found that there were still students in the classroom.
She walked over and happened to hit Xia Yue with her head raised.
"Lu Jingyao? Is it you?"
Xia Yue shouted in surprise, then ran out excitedly.
"Oh? Xia Yue, haven't you had a holiday yet?"
Lu Jingyao grabbed Xia Yue's hand, and was also surprised and happy.
The two used to be best friends, and they met again after half a year, and they were both extremely happy.
It is not fun to meet and hug each other now, and holding hands and stomping feet is the correct posture to express happiness.
Not only Xia Yue and Lu Jingyao were happy, but in just a few minutes, the students who stayed in the school all gathered together.
College students, living college students.
Lu Jingyao was admitted to the Beijing Foreign Languages College with a counterattack. It was the pride of the entire county No. 2 Middle School, a legend among these repeat students, and a pillar of their belief in insisting on repeating.
Seventy or eighty repeaters crowded in the corridor and looked at Lu Jingyao like a big star watching. This feeling made Lu Jingyao feel guiltless in her heart instantly disappear.
She is an excellent person, she is a role model for the No. 2 Middle School in the County and a role model for all high school students in Qingshui County. She is qualified to be proud enough.
When the director of the teaching director Tang Feiyu also came to hear the news and held Lu Jingyao's hand and greeted him enthusiastically, Lu Jingyao's pride reached its peak.
"Welcome to your alma mater to guide you! You are a role model for our county No. 2 Middle School. Tomorrow we will prepare a speech, and you will tell you about your experience and strengthen your confidence."
Lu Jingyao agreed generously, and her attitude towards people was completely different from that of high school students six months ago.
