Chapter 97: Thief Xiao Shijilang (1)

He is a teenager who writes alone in a hotel outside the campus. I don’t know how long it has passed. He has written to the third chapter - the singing in the middle of the night. In this chapter, the thief Xiao Shiyilang finally officially appeared, which is also his first appearance in this world:

[Feng Siniang stood up and was about to cover the window, but a song suddenly floated in the evening breeze. The desolate and tragic song sounded so familiar. Xiao Shiyilang!... The wine bottle on the table was empty, and he was lying lazily on the bed, covering his face with a pillow. He was wearing a blue cloth dress, but he was washed white. He was casually tied with a blue cloth belt around his waist, and a knife was casually inserted on the belt...]

It has to be said that this kind of character creation method that hears the voice before seeing others is really popular among writers, such as Wang Xifeng in "Dream of Red Mansions" and the sweeping monk in "The Legend of the Dragon and Eight Parts".

Mr. Gu Long led Xiao Shiyilang with his desolate singing. In addition to using this classic technique, another purpose was to pave the way and render the character of Xiao Shiyilang and even the tone of his life.

Being free and wild, desolate and lonely, how can such a man not make people feel good about it? That Mr. Gu Long himself couldn't help but ask directly in the novel: "If you are Feng Si Niang, do you love him?"

At least Liu Jingting likes Xiao Shiyilang very much, specifically, because he tried hard to create a similar character.

This is also a major feature of Gu Long's works. Compared with the two masters Liang Jin, the protagonists he wrote are often more pleasing and can win the love of readers. Whether it is the thief Xiao Shiyilang, the thief Chu Liuxiang, the flying knife of Li Xunhuan, the four eyebrows Lu Xiaofeng, or the red hair of the Central Plains, Ximen Chuxue, they seem to easily capture a large number of male and female fans. Some commentators believe that the characters described by Gu Master all have a strong sense of loneliness of individual characters in the industrial era. As well as their clear pursuit of personality liberation, they can easily feel substituted when reading.

However, Liu Jingting doesn't think so. He believes that the main reason why the characters in Mr. Gu Long's works have many fans and are full of personal charm is not because they have impacted postmodernism or accused this lonely world, but because - they are all too casual and too powerful!

Either they are the owner of a luxurious villa, a typical tall, rich, handsome and powerful, or they are free and carefree thieves who have a private yacht and various beauties. They have never seen their lives and cannot understand melancholy and loneliness, which is really a high-level emotion.

Xiao Shiyilang is the cleanest and most accurate thief in five hundred years, but he wears white-washed "blue cloth clothes". He invites others to eat beef noodles and has to pay his own credit.

The world's number one thief, life is so simple and so shabby. How can people not help but mention thirty-two praises?

Too many readers lack sufficient resistance to such heroes who rob the rich and help the poor, bully the strong and fear the weak, and value love and righteousness. The key is that he is both free and melancholy. He casually wears a cloth bag and hangs a knife casually. He sings sad songs, like a lone wolf from the north...

Therefore, Liu Jingting stopped immediately when he wrote that Xiao Shiyilang had appeared. Because the beginning of this article was enough, he skillfully logged in to WC, and then posted the three chapters of the story directly to Lu Yichou's email address, rested for a while, moved his shoulders, and then turned off the computer to sleep.

...

At the same time, Liu Jingting could sleep peacefully, but his colleague Xue Muliang was still busy.

The new book "Sad Forest" has been on the market for nearly 30 hours. With the 50,000 pre-sale volumes, more than 200,000 copies were sold on the first day of its launch, once again proving Xue Muliang's unparalleled popularity. In contrast, Han Shuo's sales of less than 100,000 copies of "Being a Boy" are much inferior.

At around 3:40 in the morning, Xue Muliang posted a micro blog: "Your combat power is so terrifying that I can't sleep in the middle of the night (scared expression)! 300,000, is this going to book in advance? Oh, when I didn't say anything."

It is still possible to be cute, pretend to be stupid, proud, show off, and paralyze the opponent...and maybe it is also possible.

After making a comment for about an hour, he spent another half an hour to write a new emotional commentary on a new book - of course he would not post it on a micro blog. Since his articles were based on words, he has not written long blogs for a long time. As for later being the editor-in-chief and boss, he cherished his words even more, because in his opinion, those words were no longer words, but money.

...

Like Xue Muliang, Yi Shuian was also not sleeping, but she didn't stay up late until now because of work, but she had been insomnia.

Today is her happy day. She should have been happy, but she was indeed very happy. Although she had not known her newlywed husband for a long time, she rarely felt very accurate. Although she had been together for more than ten days, she had keenly observed that he would be a good husband. He could trim the lawn, know how to raise a pot of flowers, and how to raise a tank of fish. He had very skilled carpenter skills and could make very exquisite desks and chairs. In addition, he also cooked good dishes.

In terms of personal sentiment, he always maintains a innocent heart, treats others with humor and great feelings, and occasionally shows a humorous side. It can be said that being able to entrust such a man for life is an absolutely regretless choice, but Yi Shuian still has insomnia. However, this insomnia will not rise to the height of a different dream in the same bed, but it is just a kind of emotion and an involuntary flow of emotion. As the writer Yi Shuian, she never restrains this kind of emotion that can bring herself to inspiration.

She thought of Guilin, grassland, green mountains and clear waters, snow-capped horses, and the young but talented and extraordinary conversation...

Yi Shuian understood that there was no other possibility. Whether it was the age gap or the infinite potential that the boy showed in writing, Yi Shuian knew deeply that this was impossible.

The former is a natural gap, and she is unwilling to make any attempt, but the key lies in the latter. In the previous works, Gu Yongsheng has shown his genius creativity. In time, he will inevitably emit a more brilliant light. Such a person is not something that anyone can restrain.

She decided not to continue thinking about this issue and was going to bed.

...

Some people stay up late because of work, some people suffer from insomnia due to their worries, and of course some people wake up from their dreams due to happy events.

Zhao Kan, a classmate in Class 3, Grade 1, Yuehe No. 1 Middle School, had a smile on his face all day since yesterday morning. Except for a few roommates, no one knew what happened to him.

Early this morning, as soon as Liu Jingting returned to the dormitory from the hotel, Zhao Kan stuck his head out of the quilt and greeted him earnestly: "Tingting, are you back?"

Liu Jingting shuddered and said, "You haven't woken up, are you?"

"Wake up, wake up." Zhao Kan said, and sat up in a blanket, "I've woken up long ago."

"Don't you know that sleeping in is the minimum respect for holidays?"

"I want to be like them, too," Zhao Kan pointed at Yu Xiaoshu and Sun Xinyang, "I slept so soundly and had no worries, but, hey. I can't do it."

"Why?"

"I'm busy. After you leave, I've been busy. On the first day of the New Year, I haven't had a good rest."

"What are you busy with?" Liu Jingting took off his shoes and clothes and was about to go to bed to make a rest. However, he could see that Zhao Kan was very lonely at this time, so he cooperated without hesitation and continued.

Zhao Kan didn't care at all about his inattention. He seemed proud and said, "Didn't you tell you that day that I wrote a book review of Gu Yongsheng's works?"

"Um."

"Then I tagged Gu Yongsheng himself."

"Um."

"Then he replied to me, and he reposted it!"

"Um."

"Tingting, do you know what this means?"

"What?"

Zhao Kan shook his head with a hint of helplessness of 'in the world of people,' and said, "It means I'm so popular."

"Congratulations." Liu Jingting had already retracted into the quilt.

Zhao Kan still had no consciousness and continued: "After Gu Yongsheng transferred my post, he said 'It's good to write'. There is no doubt that he had carefully read my post. To be honest, Tingting, I was not surprised by this. After I finished writing it, I was a little surprised. I couldn't capture those insights again. After reading my post several times, I felt more and more that I felt that I was really a little good, and it was good."

"You are a powerful person."

"If it were before, I might think you were mocking me, but now I don't think so anymore, because if you have increased 221 fans a day and been ticked more than 500 times, you will also have this kind of confidence. I didn't expect it to be so popular. There have been messages that have been ticked me all day long. There is no way, so I have to reply one by one and explain it."

"There are not many celebrities like you." Liu Jingting cooperated with Zhao Kan in his mouth, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Brother, I have increased 200,000 fans a day and have been tagged a thousand or hundreds of times. How do you calculate it?"

"The main reason is that it happens to be on the New Year's Day holiday, otherwise I will not be able to deal with so many messages. To be honest, I have to be careful when going out now, otherwise it will be very troublesome if I am recognized."

"Bring sunglasses."

"I thought about it, but Xiaoshu and Xinyang both think that as a high school student, wearing sunglasses all day is not good, which will make other students feel a sense of distance and also make the school feel illusion that I am a bad boy in society."

"That's really a problem, but you should be able to understand the enthusiasm of your fans with your academic priority?"

"Puchi..." A strange laugh came from Yu Xiaoshu's bed. After hearing this, Liu Jingting finally couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Kan didn't care, so he took his phone, opened the micro blog, and sighed: "There are more than 20 new Aites today, so I won't talk to you anymore."

Liu Jingting held back his laughter and asked Yu Xiaoshu in a low voice: "How long has he been possessed by the devil?"

Yu Xiaoshu was sleepy, but said with a smile: "Xinyang and I were both moved to the point of throwing him out while he was asleep."

The two of them smiled again, and Liu Jingting said meaningfully: "It's a big deal to become famous overnight."

...

Qianhong is also on holiday today, but the boss Lu Yichou still got up early and ran around the community park. After exercising, he went home to take a shower and had a simple breakfast after taking a shower. Then, he opened the work email with his mobile phone, and there was a VIP email reminder that the sender was Gu Yongsheng, and Lu Yichou was busy clicking on the email.
