Li Ye found Teacher Ke that night and learned that she had indeed asked for leave from the school because she was going to Beijing.

And Teacher Ke told Li Ye that he would take away the already written part of "The Warlords".

Teacher Ke didn't specifically say what she was going to do, but Li Ye could roughly guess that Teacher Ke wanted to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to go to the capital with the manuscript and run around.

But Li Ye thinks it's not the time yet.

"Teacher Ke, I have only written less than 400,000 words now. Shi Cheng has just appeared not long ago and is still far from the exciting stage."

The length of online novels is obviously longer than that of traditional novels. For example, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is 1.2 million words, while "The Deer and the Cauldron" is only 1.5 million words longer.

But even if Xiao Zhixian is a eunuch, he still has more than 1.9 million words. (This old style pays tribute to Xiao Zhixian, and I don’t know if the boss is safe now.)

Even if Li Ye deleted some of the words in hydrology, because Xiao Zhi's leisurely writing style was good, no matter how much it was compressed, it would not be less than 1.5 million words, so 400,000 words would be really not enough to read.

Teacher Ke smiled helplessly and said, "I know it's not even a wonderful time. It's really not too small for the manuscripts of 400,000 words, and it's barely enough to take them out."

Li Ye glanced at Teacher Ke's eyes, saw her anxiousness and anxiety, and immediately realized that she really couldn't wait.

Li Ye had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll hurry up and write tens of thousands of words in the next few days, so as to try to write more scenes of Shicheng."

But Teacher Ke said: "Actually, it's not necessary. If anyone is interested in this novel, we can send the subsequent parts to him in batches in the future."

"Record the past in batches?"

"Yes," said Teacher Ke: "I heard that Hong Kong Island has a "serialized" writing method, which is thousands of words a day and is serialized continuously, and the effect seems to be pretty good."

[Of course it's good. There are so many online articles in later generations, aren't they all used to play this trick? What kind of hook can you temporarily change the plot as required by the boss from the context]

[Teacher Ke, you are really good. Smart people are smart people, which is admirable.]

Li Ye really admires Teacher Ke. He was able to realize the characteristics and advantages of serialization in Qingshui County, which was closed in the 1980s, and his vision was definitely far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Okay then! When will you leave, I will sort out the manuscript as soon as possible."

"I have sorted out the manuscript and will leave tomorrow, but I have a reluctant request and need your help."

"A reluctance?"

Li Ye was a little surprised because Teacher Ke was basically "not asking for help". In school, there was no teacher who offered to provide some help, but she would deal with it calmly, which was discouraged by inadvertently.

Li Ye is the "only" exception, but it is limited to the cooperation of novels. She never wants to bother Li Ye in daily life, just Wen Leyu has a meal, or borrows the title of rewarding the school manuscript!

You should say she is "high"! No, Li Ye feels that Teacher Ke is deliberately keeping the kind of soberness away from the crowd.

But today Teacher Ke actually made a heartless request, which must be extraordinary.

Li Ye said seriously: "If you have anything, Teacher Ke said that I will definitely help if I can help me. If I can't help, I will find someone to find a solution."

Teacher Ke smiled and said, "That's right. This time I went to the capital, it's not convenient for me to take Xiaoyu with me. She has always been by my side all these years and is brave and timid. During this period when I am away, can you take care of her?"

[This is definitely possible! As long as she is willing, I can take care of her completely. Is that kind of person?]

Li Ye immediately agreed, "Okay, Teacher Ke, I will definitely be able to do this. I will take her to my house for the New Year at that time, but will Wenleyu stay in Qingshui by herself?"

Teacher Ke nodded and said, "I talked to her yesterday, she is willing."

Li Ye's last worry was gone. In order to be with his mother, Wen Leyu deliberately failed to pass the college entrance exam. Unexpectedly, he was willing to separate from Teacher Ke for the time being.

He looked at Wen Leyu not far away and found that the little girl was still a little embarrassed.

.....

Li Ye asked Teacher Ke what time the train would be tomorrow, and then shouted Li Dayong, who had just gotten into the bed, and rushed to the provincial capital that night with Jin Peng and Hao Jian.

It's really not a good time to leave at 2 a.m. and ride a bicycle to travel.

Forty kilometers, Li Ye rode halfway through the ride, and then lay on the ground and pretended to be dead dogs, letting Jin Peng and Hao Jian in front drag him to paddle.

After arriving at the provincial capital, it was not dawn, but the candy vendor who came to pick up the goods was already waiting at the street intersection next to the morning market.

The bags of hemp candy were overweight and collected money, and almost no words could be said during the whole process. This strange feeling of silence gave Li Ye an illusion in later police and gangster films.

"They are very alert now. The money is easy to make, so they don't want to make others notice, and make a fortune in a low-key manner."

Li Ye nodded and looked at the morning market with crowds not far away.

Some people in the country sell cabbage and radish, some people in the city sell old clothes and furniture, and even some people sell old bicycles.

Li Ye was a little moved, and his eldest sister at home didn’t have a bicycle yet!

Jin Peng quickly said: "Those cars cannot be bought casually, maybe they are unclean goods."

Li Ye had to give up. Nowadays, it is not uncommon for a bicycle to lead to a series of major cases. It is not cost-effective to accidentally get in wrongly.

Hao Jian’s hemp candy does not spread in one place, but needs to be divided into three places. When all the hemp candy in a row of cars are all sold, it will be dawn.

The four of them, who were tired in the middle of the night, had a hot breakfast first before they could dispel the cold air from their bodies.

Li Ye took five hundred yuan from Hao Jian and asked him to go back first.

Hao Jian was thinking about where to hide the money on the way when he went back alone! Since Li Ye and a few others were holding it, he was of course happy.

After a few people parted, Li Ye, Jin Peng and Li Dayong headed straight to an alley west of the provincial railway station.

When he arrived at an alley with all directions, Li Ye saw more than a dozen people, squatting or standing in groups, and shrank their necks and smoked.

This is a small black market for ticket purchases in the provincial capital.

Li Ye came to exchange food coupons for Teacher Ke.

In 1981, I went to a restaurant for dinner. I was not as good as having money. Most of them needed to match food coupons. Without food coupons, I could still find various ways to eat enough locally, but it was difficult to do without food coupons when I was on a business trip.

Like Teacher Ke went to Beijing this time, he had to exchange national food coupons.

Teacher Ke received temporary wages at the No. 2 Middle School of County, and there was not much ration of food coupons, so he could not save a few between his teeth.

It is difficult to go out, and it is even more difficult for a woman to go out. It is related to Wen Leyu, so how can Li Ye ignore it?

Logically speaking, it is easier to find Li Zhongfa to get food coupons across the country, but Li Yeyi doesn't want his family to ask questions, and he also needs something else.

When they saw Li Ye and the other two coming, they were very alert and tightly grasped the bag in their hands.

Li Ye found that their location was very suitable for oiling the soles of their feet.

Jin Peng took a look and walked towards one of the separated men with Li Ye.

"Brother, do you have national food coupons?"

"Puff~, look at what you said, there is not even a national food coupon, why am I here to do?"

The man who split his head vomited a puff of cigarette, looked at Jin Peng with a slut, then looked at Li Ye and Li Dayong, with obvious contempt.

When I heard the accent, I saw the country people coming from the north, either from Qingshui or from Beiyang. And two of them were little kids, and they didn't look very good at first sight.

Li Ye didn't care about this guy's eyes and asked directly: "Then do you have any other tickets? Are there any cigarette tickets and wine tickets? Can you get the sleeper train ticket? How do you change them?"

The separated man's eyes lit up and said, "What cigarettes do you want to buy? What wine do you want to buy?"

Li Ye said: "Chinese cigarettes, Maotai liquor."

The separated man rolled his eyes and bared his teeth and said, "Where are I for fun in the early morning? What tickets can I buy Chinese cigarettes?"

Li Ye stopped talking. He only knew that he needed tickets for a type of cigarette at this time, but he had never bought China cigarettes since his rebirth, and he did not know the market inside.

Jin Peng waved his hand and said, "Buy food coupons first! The whole country costs fifty kilograms."

The man with a split head shook his neck and said, "One piece, two pieces, one pound, fifty pounds are exactly sixty."

""

Jin Peng and Li Ye were both stunned.

This price is not bad, it is really bad.

They inquired in advance that the national food coupons in the provincial capital are around 50 cents, 40 cents are normal, and 60 cents are not expensive. The price quoted by men in this section has doubled.

Jin Peng turned around and left, is he cheating the fool?

But the man who split up shouted at the other people at the entrance of the alley: "Others' things are more expensive, but I'm the cheapest here."

Sure enough, Jin Peng and Li Ye asked a few more people, and the price was even more outrageous.

Li Ye smiled and walked back to the side of the separated man.

"Okay, you're the cheapest here. We buy 50 kilograms of food coupons each, and then some wine and cigarette coupons."

The separated man looked at Li Ye with a slanted look and asked, "Do you have that much money?"

Li Ye reached into his pocket and took out half of the money to light it up. The thick one was as big as hundreds of dollars.

The man with a split head was stunned for a moment, spit out the cigarette, shook his chin, and signaled Li Ye to follow him.

Li Ye followed the parting man into an alley next to him, and then found that a young man squatting beside him also followed him in.

The young man was a bald man, with sharp eyes and a very unusual sense of courage.

The separated man said proudly: "Don't worry, this is my brother. I just came down from the battlefield in the south. If you don't mess with him, you will never mess with you."

No wonder the man dares to bully the market and is openly slandering others, and it turns out that he has some support.

But no matter how relied on him, Li Ye would not suffer such a loss!

Li Ye moved his ankle and kicked the wall on the side of the alley.
