The English teacher’s hometown is not far from Shao City, about 20 miles away. He is on the only way back to the county town to Shao City.
Looking through the window at the orange rice fields outside, Li Heng suddenly shouted to the driver: "Master, step on the jio!"
"My son, I haven't arrived in Shao City yet." The driver saw his tender face and thought he was coming to Shao City for the first time, so he kindly reminded him.
"I know." Li Heng replied.
"Brake!", the car stopped.
Li Heng carried his bag and got out of the car, while Li Ran and Zhang Zhiyong got out of the car in a daze.
Li Ran looked around and saw that in addition to rice fields, there were hills, and some thatched huts:
"Li Heng, what are you doing? Why did you get off the road?"
Li Heng pointed to the wooden house in front of the right and said, "That's the English teacher's home, let's go and take a look."
Li Ran suddenly realized: "Go to someone else's house, you have to buy something."
"certainly."
Several people found a nearby village convenience store, bought some sugar and wine, and also bought some fruits, which cost nearly 15 yuan in total.
Over the years, this is already a very luxurious gift.
The three of them were covered with bags and walked along the ridge of the field. In a short while, they arrived at the English teacher's house.
As soon as I stepped into the threshing ground, I saw the old principal, the English teacher's father.
There is also a fashionable woman next to her, probably the second-married wife who was married at Yali Middle School in Changshi.
Seeing the couple, Zhang Zhiyong couldn't help but mutter: "Mr. Heng, we may have to go to the sky."
Li Heng also had this bad premonition.
Sure enough, after saying hello to the old principal and the English teacher’s grandparents, I learned that the English teacher had returned to Shao City the night before, and left after having a meal, and did not spend the night in my hometown.
I didn't see anyone, and the three of them left even after drinking a glass of water.
"What should I do? Is there no car?" Zhang Zhiyong asked on the ground.
"Wait, there will be passing cars." Li Heng answered firmly.
About 5 minutes later, a mid-shuttle bus came towards me, which was crowded with people and the driver did not stop.
11 minutes later, another car came. No matter how much I waved my hand, the people ignored the three of them and raised a wave of dust and passed by.
"Damn it! It's so awesome. Is it amazing to have a car?" Zhang Zhiyong was splashed with dust and jumped to scold.
After scolding, the three of them continued to wait.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, I finally had a car willing to carry them.
As soon as he got into the car, Li Ran suddenly asked Li Heng: "Do you want to bring your English teacher with you again?"
Li Heng had no idea before, but after seeing the old principal and his wife, he had this idea again:
"Anyway, everyone is familiar with each other, and many people are busy. I'll call the city later to ask."
Zhang Zhiyong was always happy when he heard this: "Hehe, we have four more people, and one one is missing suddenly. I can't bear to leave it alone."
Li Ran deeply agreed. Last month, the four of them gathered together to keep warm and had a deep relationship.
When he arrived in Shao City, Li Heng got off the car and called the English teacher by phone.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
The phone rang out and a sexy voice came from over there, "Hello, who?"
"Teacher, it's me."
"Li Heng? What's your business?"
"Teacher, I just went to your hometown and found that you were not here. We are going to set out in the Three Gorges, why don't we go together? I'm so stupid and Li Ran are waiting for you." Li Heng didn't talk nonsense, and he explained his purpose in conciseness.
"Teacher Wang, let's go together. We have a companion. If you don't have any shortcomings, you will feel that you are not interested." Li Ran made fun next to him.
Wang Runwen pondered for a long time and finally asked: "Where are you?"
Li Heng said: "Western Bus Station, I just got off the bus."
After Wang Runwen was moved, he became bold, "Then you go to the train station first, I'll come to find you."
"Hey, okay! OK!" Li Heng was full of joy. After hanging up the phone, he patted Li Ran's palms and celebrated.
"Li Heng, I'm hungry, I'll go find a restaurant and have a big meal." Li Ran said.
"It's not a problem, I'll treat you." Li Heng was in a good mood after returning to the team.
Not long after the three arrived at the train station, the English teacher came. She was wearing a red shirt and tied her upper body very full. She walked with casual pants and red shoes and was charming and charming. She stood out and was so sexy.
Many people's eyes were straightened and they swallowed secretly.
After greeting Li Ran and Quexinyan, the English teacher squinted his eyes. When passing Li Heng's ear, he lowered his voice and warned: "Look again, be careful that I will pick out your eyes!"
Li Heng rolled his eyes.
The teacher is wronged! Don’t keep staring at me, okay?
The cost is so sufficient. The men who sneaked around the neighborhood didn’t say 100, at least 80. I’m completely instinct, so what’s wrong?
I have an English teacher’s network, but I didn’t expect the train ticket to be successfully obtained, but I still have a hard sleeper.
After dinner, when the four of them were waiting for the bus, Wang Runwen shook his hair and smiled and sighed: "The plan cannot keep up with the changes. I didn't expect that the couple would meet in my hometown, and I didn't expect that I would go out with you again."
Li Heng asked: "Teacher, the old principal came back from the Changcheng City, don't you communicate with you?"
The English teacher sneered, "I refuse to communicate with him."
Li Heng nodded and handed her a bottle of soda.
After 8 o'clock in the evening, the four of them boarded the train to travel west and arrived at Sanxia early the next morning.
Unfortunately, the weather was not beautiful, and it started to drizzle and the wind blew, and the few people could only stare blankly in confusion.
However, Li Heng was not idle and found a place to live, he started calling Harvest magazine.
"Hey, who?"
"Editor Zou, good morning!" Li Heng suddenly heard the other party's voice.
"Is it Teacher Li?"
Zouping has never been able to connect with Li Heng in the past month, and no one answered the call from Wang Runwen. He was so anxious that he suddenly received the call. Because he was too excited, he stood up:
"Teacher Li, you finally called. If you don't come, I will go to your hometown to find you."
Li Heng apologized: "I have been traveling outside for the past two months and have no fixed residence, so I'm sorry."
When Zou Ping heard the scenery, he asked curiously: "Teacher Li, where are you now?"
Li Heng said: "In the Three Gorges."
Zou Ping thought about it and pretended to be brave enough to ask: "Is there a new writing inspiration?"
It's not bad, it's the ingredients for this bowl of rice. I didn't expect it to be quite sensitive. Li Heng didn't hide it: "I have been writing for the past two months and have written tens of thousands of words."
It turns out to be true!
Zou Ping, who had originally tried it, was overjoyed and calmed down and asked, "What kind of subject is it?"
Li Heng said: "Prose."
"What? Scattered, prose?" Zou Ping was a little shocked.
No, it was very shocking!
How old is it?
Not long after he turned 18?
How did the subject matter jump to prose?
Zou Ping's mind froze, and he was a little puzzled for a moment, but it was difficult to question publicly. He just asked anxiously: "How long do you want to stay in Sanxia?"
Li Heng pondered for a moment and said, "It depends on the weather conditions, it should be one to two days."
Upon hearing this, Zou Ping was a little disappointed and continued to ask: "Where is the next stop? Is it settled?"
Li Heng said: "Dongting Lake."
Zou Ping immediately made a decision, "Then I'll go to Dongting Lake to wait for you."
Li Heng almost knew what the other party meant, probably because he was in a hurry to check the quality of the new article, but he did not refuse: "Yes, we will not arrive in about three days."
After finalizing the details of the meeting between the two parties, Zou Ping began to report the good news: "Teacher Li, congratulations! The single-line version of "To Live" has exceeded 1 million copies. As of yesterday, the accumulated sales have reached 1067,203 copies."
1.06 million copies?
This data is so fierce and completely unexpected.
Li Heng was very happy to hear it, and his mouth was almost at the back of his head.
I calculated it carefully. Each book is priced at 3 yuan, with a 5% royalty, and more than 1.06 million copies, you can get 160,000 yuan.
160,000!
It's a huge sum of money!
Li Heng's head was a little dizzy, and he felt that it was more exciting than the tens of millions of deposits in later generations.
"Teacher Li, are you still here?" Zou Ping asked carefully when he saw that there was no sound on the other end of the phone for a long time.
"Here." Li Heng replied.
Zou Ping solicited his opinion: "Will this bill of exchange be given to you directly this time, or will you wait for your college entrance examination before you give it to you?"
I'm quite concerned about it, and I even know where I'm going to go to college.
For safety reasons, Li Heng weighed the pros and cons and said: "No hurry, I'll give it to me when I arrive at the Shanghai Stock Exchange."
"OK."
Because the phone bill is too expensive, I hang up after a few simple conversations.
The phone was just hanging up, and a figure came from the editor-in-chief's office.
Editor-in-chief Liao asked: "Is the writer's December call just now?"
Zou Ping answered yes.
Editor-in-chief Liao asked with concern: "He disappeared for so long, where have he been?"
When facing the leader, Zou Ping did not make any jokes and told him everything he had just said.
For example, Li Heng travels to most of China.
For example, he is writing a new book.
After listening patiently, Editor Liao frowned: "You heard it right? Are you really writing prose?"
Seeing that the editor-in-chief was as suspicious as he was, Zou Ping felt a lot more uncomfortable: "I have confirmed it repeatedly."
Editor-in-chief Liao was silent. After a while, he said, "Go and buy two tickets, forget it, don't worry about this matter, I'll take over."
"Ah?" Zou Ping looked confused.
Meng, his future gold medal editor, made up his mind to hold this thick-legged person, so why don’t he have to worry about it yourself?
He felt very uncomfortable immediately, but he didn't dare to show it.
Editor-in-chief Liao noticed his strangeness and reached out to pat his shoulder and said, "The credit is still on your head, and you are still responsible for connecting with December.
As for this time, I have something to see him."
Hearing this, Zouping suddenly turned dark and smiled happily.
Seeing his appearance, Editor-in-Chief Liao laughed and changed his mind again, "You should go with me, so as not to avoid your dormitory being uneasy."
Zou Ping scratched his head and pretended to be giggling.
Back at the office, Editor Liao closed the door, then grabbed the landline phone on the table, and called a number.
After waiting for about half a minute, the phone got connected, "Zhaoyi, it's me."
"Uncle Liao, so early, I have something to do with me?" Huang Zhaoyi had not even opened her eyes before she got up.
"I have news about the writer in December." Editor-in-chief Liao spoke.
Huang Zhaoyi opened her eyes instantly, "Uncle Liao, are you busy? Let's meet and talk."
"Yes." The two parties agreed to meet in a cafe and ended the call.
An hour later, Editor Liao appeared in a nearby cafe, looked around at the door, and headed towards the elegant seat in the right corner.
"Zhaoyi, you came earlier than I thought." As soon as Editor-in-Chief Liao sat down, he took the initiative to ask for a conversation.
"Uncle Liao, I just got up when I saw you laughing."
After ordering two cups of coffee, Huang Zhaoyi pondered for a long time and asked, "What is his real name?"
Editor-in-chief Liao had speculations about various issues before coming, "Li Heng."
Huang Zhaoyi thought about the name and asked again: "Where is the other person?"
"Now in the Three Gorges, I will be in Dongting Lake in three days." Editor-in-chief Liao told the situation he knew.
Huang Zhaoyi thought about it and asked: "Will I go to see him rashly? Will he be unhappy?"
This problem stumped Editor Liao.
Because he didn't know what was happening between Li Heng and Zhaoyi?
I didn't know what the two wrote.
I only know that Li Heng suddenly ignored her.
Zhaoyi seemed a little resentful about this.
Editor-in-chief Liao gave an idea: "Then this time, will you show up as my assistant?"
Huang Zhaoyi shook her head: "I sent him a photo."
???
A row of question marks floated in Editor-in-Chief Liao's mind. Although he knew that the other party admired Li Heng's talent very much, he didn't expect to be so proactive?
He actually took the initiative to send photos.
This somewhat subverted Editor Liao's perception of her past, and she was always close to her, and she was choked and didn't know how to speak.
Huang Zhaoyi asked with a wry smile: "Do you find it incredible?"
Editor-in-chief Liao said, "What was Li Heng's reaction?"
Huang Zhaoyi's eyes floated out the window: "I haven't contacted since then."
Editor-in-chief Liao sighed secretly when he heard this, but he was also very understanding of Li Heng.
After all, Li Heng is only over 18 years old, and although Zhao Yi in front of him is of extraordinary origin, she is a little older than others. How could she be moved?
In fact, there is an information error here. Editor-in-chief Liao didn't know that Li Heng refused Huang Zhaoyi as a married older man.
Huang Zhaoyi didn't know that Li Heng was only over 18.
Due to his identity and face of preservation, Editor Liao couldn't ask about the content of the communication between the two. Naturally, Huang Zhaoyi wouldn't say much.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the two of them talked about their own opinions and did not communicate with each other.
The coffee came up. After the waiter left, Huang Zhaoyi asked: "Is his new book this time prose?"
Editor-in-chief Liao said: "I just heard of it, but I didn't see the content."
Huang Zhaoyi asked: "Uncle Liao, do you think so?"
Editor-in-chief Liao thought for a while and shook his head: "It's hard to talk about."
Then he added: "But Li Heng's talent is obvious to all, and there may be unexpected surprises, so I decided to go there in person."
After saying that, Editor-in-Chief Liao looked at her.
After a long time, Huang Zhaoyi finally replied: "I still won't go anymore, I'm waiting for his new work at home."
Editor-in-chief Liao nodded after hearing this.
After drinking the coffee, the two of them dispersed.
Before they parted, Huang Zhaoyi wanted to instruct editor Liao to make a photo of Li Heng for her, wanting to see what the other party looked like. But thinking of Li Heng's refusal and concern for his image, he swallowed the words back to his mouth.
…
The drizzle in the Three Gorges lasted for two days, and Li Ran took Zhang Zhiyong to go crazy in the small town for two days.
Apart from searching some local related county annals, Li Heng didn't go anywhere, so he stayed in the hotel and focused on revising the manuscript.
Regarding "Cultural Journey", he did not copy Mr. Yu's words.
Although the words under Mr. Yu's pen tip are very beautiful, their shortcomings are also particularly obvious.
If the writing style is too pretentious and lacks natural and smooth expression.
For example, although "Cultural Journey" sets the standards of cultural tourism with a cultural, historical and sensational model, Mr. Yu ignored the in-depth discussion of the essence of culture.
Although everyone recognizes that "Cultural Journey" is a rare classic in the history of Chinese literature and plays an extremely important role in the history of contemporary literature. However, these shortcomings have affected the depth and breadth of the work to a certain extent, and have also made a small number of readers not highly evaluate it.
Li Heng, who has rich reading experience and decades of life experience, decided to improve his shortcomings while inheriting his strengths.
Especially in exploring the essence of culture, he really put in effort.
Not only did he come to the scene to admire and experience it personally, he could also read the local documents and county annals. In addition, Zhao Jing left him more than 140 materials and transcripts, as well as his experience in being a human being in two lifetimes, he can now be said to be ready and full of wings.
Li Heng can confidently say: the words under his pen are not only more beautiful, but also literary and cultural, reaching a new level that the original book does not have.
Of course, he did not mean to belittle his husband. On the contrary, he still admired the other party in single literature.
What he is doing now is to stand on the shoulders of others to improve and repair, eliminate redundantness, add new cultural heritage, and let the works reach another level.
Originally, the original work of "Cultural Journey" consists of a preface, a postscript and 37 articles, with a total of more than 230,000 words.
However, after Li Heng's renovation and improvement, he expected that the number of completed words would reach about 320,000.
This is a very vast project, and it also carries his ambitions after his rebirth.
He plans to drain all his knowledge and work hard to integrate it into this work, making it more dazzling and dazzling.
Let it have a higher historical status in the history of literature.
Although I was already shocked and had been shocked several times, I personally watched him make drastic moves on the original basis. The English teacher looked at his meticulous side face and still couldn't calm down for a long time.
I thought he was very genius, and I thought his words had been perfect, but every time I modified them, the words would be more refined and vivid, and the progress was obvious, which made Wang Runwen think that he had encountered a monster.
Maybe, okay, he is really a monster! He doesn't belong to this world.
While the English teacher thought so, she was secretly happy for him. She felt a sense of glory to witness history and miracles.
The rain outside kept falling, falling on the corners of the eaves.
Although the window was open, the room was still very stuffy. When he saw the sweat beads on his forehead gathering into a ball and about to drip onto the paper, Wang Runwen, who was already immersed in the literary world, did not think much. His upper body leaned forward slightly and instinctively took out a handkerchief to wipe it carefully.
But just this moment, her plumpness almost pressed against Li Heng's left hand, and it was gently, hazy, and the touch was soft and clear.
The air trembled.
One looked up and the other lowered his eyebrows and looked at each other quietly, without saying a word, and then he worked hard to work hard.
The English teacher wiped his forehead with a handkerchief and frosted back and forth between his neck. His movements were always gentle and delicate, which was very different from when she was usually spitting the word "roll".
The house was very quiet, with only the sound of rain falling, and only the tip of the pen wandering on the white paper.
After doing all this, the English teacher returned to his original appearance, focused on his writing, occasionally glanced at his side, and felt peaceful inside.
