I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 329 Three Silver Coins

"Crackling..."

In the past few days, Ji Zhuo coded the content of the "ordinary" chapter of "The Ordinary and the Great" as usual,

As the length increases, the stories of the 'ordinary' chapters also extend downwards.

At this moment, sitting in front of the computer in the study, Ji Zhuo's eyes kept falling on the computer screen,

Fingers fell on the keyboard, and the crackling sound of the keyboard was hardly interrupted.

The story extends down like this, and the content of the 'ordinary' chapters increases in this way.

Outside the study window,

The sun is blocked by clouds from time to time, cloudy and sunny from time to time,
Until the sun in the sky is only the afterglow,

Only then did Ji Zhuo's hands stop typing.
The eyes that fell on the computer screen moved again.

Today, there are about 1 words of content again,

The 'ordinary' chapter is coming to an end,

Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, the 'ordinary' chapter can basically be written.

"call……"

After a pause, Ji Zhuo let out a long breath, stretched his sore back,
Looking at the evening sky outside the window, he turned his gaze back to the computer screen.

Stretching out his hand to touch the mouse, Ji Zhuo scrolled upwards for today, the content written in the past few days,

While checking and correcting the typo, I also took a rough look.

in the text.

The story continues to progress.

After Little Hoss followed Mr. Namore to the town,
Throw him to the side of the road and leave alone.

Little Hoss could only hold the small cloth bag containing three silver coins tightly by himself, and walked roughly in the direction of the church.

Along the way, Little Hoss didn't dare to raise his head. With his short body, he lowered his head so that he could only see the feet and shoes of people passing by in front of him and around him.

The town is far more prosperous than the village, and there are more people than the village, but there are still people walking barefoot on the dirty roads.

Just like that, with his head buried, holding the bag of money tightly, Little Hoss arrived at the door of the church.

……

"Um……"

Ji Zhuo took a glance, then paused.

In the past few days, the editor-in-chief Al also cares about the new draft of "The Ordinary and the Great" from time to time,
Every now and then I have to ask,
Now, send it to Al Press.

Moved the mouse, exported the content of tens of thousands of words, and Ji Zhuo sent it directly to the editor-in-chief Al.

Then continue to roughly look down at the content written in the past few days.

……

"Penny! Penny!"

The editor-in-chief of Ayer Publishing House received a new manuscript from Ji Zhuo,
Excitedly calling out to his wife in the office.

"what happened?"

Penny pushed open the door of the office and walked in.

"There's a new manuscript again. For the following content, Mr. I should have refined and polished it. After he was satisfied, he sent some of the content over."

Al said excitedly.

Simply as a reader, I am excited to see my favorite works updated.

Petunia's eyes lit up when she heard Al's words, then she walked to Al's side in a few steps, and turned her gaze to the computer screen.

"open to take a look."

"I'm about to open it too."

Excited, Al opened the manuscript newly sent by Mr. I,

Immediately afterwards, Editor-in-Chief Al and Penny focused on the content of the manuscript, immersed in the story.

……

Little Hoss held the purse tightly and raised his head.

The church in front of him was the most majestic and gorgeous building he had ever seen,

It is also the tallest building in town.

Of the two heavy doors, only one was opened at the moment.

People after prayers are coming out of the church.

Some people also cast their gazes at this short, thin, barefooted child in old linen clothes, and then turned away one after another.

And Little Hoss stood at the door of the church, looking up at the church, feeling his own insignificance,
At the same time, he dared not go into the church.

He was afraid that he had once been stained with the blood of a sinner, even if that sinner was his father.

The pain and fear of his father before his death deeply imprinted this fear in his heart.

Father said, God knows all things,

He was afraid that if he went in like this, the gods in the church would punish him.

In the half-open door of the church, it was dark and unclear, and Little Hoss, who was watching, was filled with fear in his heart.

Lowering his head, he looked at the purse tightly held in his hand,
Little Hoss trembled in fear, but still trembled, and walked towards the dark door.

……

Through the dark door, the church was not as dark as Little Hoss thought.

In front of the rows of benches for people to pray and worship, there are rows of burning candles, and the top of the wall inside is a hollow window,
Through the wind, there is also a pillar of light shining into the church.

This was such a candle-lit scene that Little Hoss rarely saw, and candles were rarely lit in the house.

When the sun went down and the moon wasn't so bright, he went to bed.

Little Hoss looked at the rows of candlelights, the dazzling candlelight that fluttered with the wind made Little Hoss feel very beautiful,
Just like the stars at night... Little Hoss' eyes also reflected these stars.

"...My dear, the little lamb of the Lord. Today's prayer is over, what do you need?"

Someone spoke up.

Little Hoss saw the people in front of the row of candles,

It was the priest of the church, wearing a smooth, clean robe,
The bare feet in the church are also extraordinarily clean.

With a gentle smile on his face, he was facing Little Hoss and talking to him.

Little Hoss lowered his head and took a few steps forward.

"I'm here to pay the rest of the fine for my father."

Little Hoss said with his head down.

"Is there such a thing?"

The priest was still gentle, turning his head and asking.

"My father is Medioc, who offended the knights of the church and offended the Lord."

"...Yes, the fine is three silver coins."

Other people beside the church also answered the priest's words.

The priest's face was more benevolent and compassionate.

"Oh...my poor child. It's okay. The Lord is merciful. He will forgive your father's sins. One day, he will return to the Lord's kingdom of heaven."

"Really?"

Little Hoss raised his head.

With a kind and gentle smile on the priest's face,

"Of course, the Lord will forgive everyone, and the Lord will continue to protect you, my child."

The priest stroked little Hoss's hair.

Little Hoss lowered his head again, and handed over the money bag in his hand.

"Here are three silver pieces, Father."

The priest took it and passed it to the person next to him without looking at it.
The person next to him untied the rope tied on the bag,
There are some scattered money inside, maybe three silver coins together,
The people next to him didn't count.

"Son, your father's fine has been paid."

said the priest kindly.

Little Hoss relaxed a lot,

Then hesitantly asked again,
"Will my father really be able to return to the Lord's kingdom of heaven?"

"Of course, we are all the Lord's children. Even if we offend the Lord and we know our sins, the Lord will forgive our sins and let us return to His embrace."

"Thank you, Father."

"It's okay, my child... Oh, my child, how will you spend the next days with difficulty."

The priest bowed his head in pity to Little Hoss and said,
Then he paused, opened the money bag that the person next to him was still holding,
He picked up some copper coins and handed them to Little Hoss.

"Son, what's your name?"

"Hoss, little Hoss..."

"My little Hoss, the mercy of the Lord will always be upon you, my poor little Hoss."

Little Hoss looked at the handful of copper coins that the priest stuffed into his hand,
Looking up again, the priest still looked at him pityingly and benevolently.

Mr. Priest seems like a nice guy.

Little Hoss thought so.

"Thank you, Father."

"Don't thank me, thank our Lord."

"thank God."

"Well... my poor little Hoss, spend the days to come and don't make mistakes again. May the Lord always take care of you."

"Um……"

Little Hoss held the handful of copper coins in his hand and left the tall and majestic church.

Before walking out of the church, Little Hoss looked back again,
The rows of candles in the church are still brightly flickering,
The priest turned his back, not knowing what he was talking to the person next to him.

Little Hoss' eyes stayed more on the candle flames, and he still felt that the candle flames were very beautiful.

……

"call……"

After reading this paragraph,

Al felt extremely depressed,
Depressed, a little out of breath,

This depression may be due to the priest's compassionate and gentle appearance,
If the priest had been more vicious, Al might not have felt so depressed.

Beside him, Al's wife and assistant, Penny, was blushing, with anger written all over her face.

"What kind of a good man is this priest! Could it be that the gorgeous and smooth robe on his body was made by raising silkworms by himself?"

"Damn it, damn it!"

"What do you mean Little Huss will not make mistakes again in the future? Did he make a mistake? Did he miss something?"

Al listened to his wife's anger, silent.

Petunia cursed a few words angrily, took a few breaths, calmed down a little, and then looked at her husband Al,

Al moved the mouse again, and continued to scroll down the content.

The two eyes fell on the content of the "Ordinary" chapter again, and then immersed themselves in it.

……

The story goes on.

Little Hoss left the church,
He carefully put the copper coin in his pocket,
After paying the fine that needs to be paid to the church, Little Hoss heaved a sigh of relief.
On the way back, Little Hoss occasionally raised his head and looked at both sides of the street in the town.
On both sides are some tall or short buildings, some are operating shops, and some are people's homes.

The town is far more prosperous than the village,
Among the passers-by, you can occasionally see someone wearing gorgeous clothes and a carriage passing by.

From a distance, as soon as he saw the carriage, Little Hoss avoided it in fear.
His father just offended the knight and offended the god and the Lord.

And on the road, there were other people in old sackcloth who hurriedly dodged like him.
Some people were so anxious that they tripped over the side of the road and hurriedly crawled away.

As for the carriage, it neither accelerated nor slowed down.

In this way, Little Hoss walked to the place where he had just entered the town,

Along the way, he saw quite a few shops. Although he had some copper coins on him, he didn't buy anything.

Standing at the place where I just entered the town, I waited for a while,

Little Hoss didn't see Mr. Moore again, so he could only walk back to the village alone.

It was still morning when I went out,
After arriving in the town and paying the fine to the church, it was already noon,

It was already dusk when Little Hoss walked back to the village along the road alone.

before returning home,
Little Hoss saw his neighbor, Mrs. Milia,
Mrs. Milia in sackcloth was standing in the yard, and Mr. Moore didn't seem to have come back earlier than him.

"Little Hoss...you haven't eaten yet. I have some bread here. You can eat it."

Mrs. Milia smiled gently at Little Hoss and said,

Little Hoss swallowed, he hadn't eaten all day and was already hungry.

But still shook his head,

"Mrs. Millia, Mr. Moore won't be happy if I eat your food."

He thought of Mr. Moore's beating of Mrs. Millia, which he heard at night,
I also saw the bruises on Mrs. Milia's face that were not healed.

Mrs. Millia paused when she heard what Little Hoss said.

some embarrassment,

"It's okay, it's okay... Let me get you a small piece."

Mrs. Milia said so, walked over, and handed little Hoss a small piece of black bread.

Little Hoss raised his head, looked at Mrs. Milia, and took it anyway.

"Thank you. Mrs. Milia."

"You're welcome."

Milia smiled again.

……

In the evening, Little Hoss ate the piece of black bread that Mrs. Milia gave him, and a little pea soup left over from the morning.

after eating,

Little Hoss took out half a candle from the cabinet,

Thinking of the rows of candles seen in the church during the day,

In the end, the half of the candle was not lit.

When his father Medioc was still around, he always cherished this candle very much.

It is always short-lived, and then it is quickly extinguished, and the wax oil that flows down will be collected again.

Little Hoss always liked to watch by his father when he lit the candles.
Seeing the candle flame swaying gently with a little breeze, and the shadow of the light swaying on the wall, that little flame is always very beautiful.

Put away half of the candle again.

Little Hoss lay on the bed.

If you don't eat much for dinner, you will get hungry easily when you move.

With his eyes open, he looked at the roof for a long time at night before Little Hoss closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After late at night, Little Hoss was woken up again,

It was the voice of the neighbor Mrs. Milia's house,

It seems that it was late at night when Mr. Moore came back,
With the same sound of beating and scolding, Mr. Moore seemed to vent his anger,

"...you bloody bitch, a hen who can't lay eggs!"

"Tell me, why can't you give birth to children... If there are no children, no boys, the family's fields will be cheaper for others in the future!"

"Damn...you stay at home to rest all day, I'm exhausted and then work outside, damn woman..."

In the scolding, there was also the sound of beating Mrs. Millia.

Little Hoss was woken up, sitting on the bed and listening to the movement next door.

Waiting for the scolding to stop, finally heard the voice of Mrs. Milia,

Mrs. Milia seemed a little uncomfortable, and said with some difficulty,

"...We can adopt Little Hoss...Although he owes Mr. Raleigh a debt, it is his field that is mortgaged. We still have the field, and his field is still producing. We can always pay it off .”

"...That's seven silver coins, a debt of seven silver coins! Do you know how much that is? Do you want me to help him pay off the debt? Is that a debt that I can pay off?"

Mr. Moore roared angrily.

Mrs. Milia said nothing more.

Little Hoss listened here, sat on the bed, paused,
Then got out of bed again,

I went to check the food and food at home,
I went to find the farm tools at home again.

indeed,

He still had a debt to pay, a debt of seven silver pieces to Mr. Raleigh.

From the end of this year, it will need to be repaid.

And the food for him at home also requires him to cultivate it.

So, he had to get to work.

There is still a lot of work in the field waiting for him to do.

Little Hoss sorted out these things at home,
Back in bed and back to sleep.

And Mrs. Milia's house next door has also become quiet again.

……

"call……"

Al couldn't help but let out another breath,
Relieve the depression in your heart.

Mr. I wrote this novel really well,

He could easily be pulled into the world in the book, and his emotions also fluctuated with what happened to Little Hoss.

Al turned his head and glanced at his wife,
His wife, Penny, still kept her eyes on the computer screen, immersed in the story,
Al paused for a moment, then turned back, touched the mouse, and moved it down a little bit.

this time,

The manuscript sent by Mr. I has a lot of content, and there is still a lot of content below.

the story goes on,
Continue to progress.

Al was quickly drawn into it following the sentence description in the book,

Immerse yourself in it.
