I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 47 The Blind Old Man

Chapter 47 The Blind Old Man
"...he seems to be blind?
He can't see anything. "

In the house of a family in Fancheng,
The lights in the bedroom were turned off, but some light was faintly peeking out from the gaps in the quilt.
The son of the owner of the noodle shop is huddled under the blanket, covering his head with a quilt, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and reading the new book by the author of the dog with great interest.

Seeing the description in the plot where the protagonist went blind after waking up from sleep, he couldn't help but pause, rubbing his eyes that were blurred due to sleepiness,

I continued to read it with relish.

"Dong dong."

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

Immediately afterwards, the child got his head out of the bed, and the mobile phone was left in the bed.
The whole person stood upright, lying on the bed, gradually relaxed, closed his eyes,

A series of movements are fast and skillful.

The people outside the door also unscrewed the door at this time, walked in from outside the door,

Is the child's mother.

Approaching the bed, I saw my child lying flat, eyes closed as if asleep,

The child's mother couldn't help shaking her head with a smile, pretending to be pretty, but she still didn't know that children rarely fell asleep lying on their backs.

But she didn't say anything, just stood by the bed and stretched out her hand to pull the quilt for the child.

The child lay flat on the bed with his eyes closed, only feeling the quilt being pulled up and down,
Immediately there was no movement in the room,

Can't help but cautiously opened his eyes a little bit, and then saw his mother still standing by the bed,
"Did mom wake you up?"

The woman didn't pierce the boy's pretending to be sleeping, she just said so.

"Um……"

The boy pretended to be waking up, and opened his eyes in a daze.

"...Did you see mom's cell phone? I put it in the living room to charge it."

"...well... here I am."

"...The next time you go to bed, don't take your phone, you know?"

The woman took the mobile phone away, and did not expose the boy's secret use of the mobile phone.

The boy looked up on the bed, watching his mother walk out of the house with her mobile phone.

What's the next plot?

After watching the beginning, the boy was very curious about the next plot of "Seven Days of Hell", but he couldn't see it again.

……

"Stinky boy, if you don't sleep at night, you still read novels..."

The woman walked out of the boy's room with the mobile phone, and glanced at the page of the novel displayed on the mobile phone.
After looking at it, she shook her head, she was not very interested in novels.

Walked down the aisle, back to his bedroom,
The lights are still on in the bedroom, and her husband, the owner of the noodle shop, is still looking at something with his mobile phone,
The woman looked closer and saw that her husband was also reading a novel.

"...Why haven't you slept yet? Are you going to open the shop tomorrow morning?"

"Reading a novel, the author has released a new book, quite consciously, I will read a few chapters before going to sleep."

The owner of the noodle shop looked up at his wife, then lowered his head and continued to read the novel on the phone.

The novel displayed on the phone is also "Seven Days of Hell".

"You two are just alike."

The woman said something angrily, but the noodle shop owner just laughed.

The woman tidied up and went back to the bed. The owner of the meeting place was still reading the novel, so he turned his head and took a few glances.

"...Is this novel really interesting?"

"right."

"Why didn't you see it?"

"...It's over."

"...This author, the novel is quite good, but why did he post it?"

Women don't know much about online novels. She thinks that novels are published in volumes, just like physical novels.

……

Yucheng.

The night is deep,
In a family's house,
On the bed in the bedroom, an old man in his early 60s was still tossing and turning on the bed.

When people are old, they are usually sleepy, but they sleep lightly.

After dinner, he lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze, but when it was still late at night, he woke up again,
Once you wake up, it's hard to fall asleep again,

It was obviously very quiet outside the house, but a little sound for a long time can still make his nerves jump, and then make him sleepless.

But even if he couldn't fall asleep, he still didn't want to open his eyes, just moved from the bed from time to time, tossing and turning.

"Hey……"

He sighed in his heart, stopped tossing and turning,
opened my eyes,
It's just that when the eyes are open, they are the same as when they are closed, only the darkness is everywhere, and even worse.

He couldn't see the dim light of the city outside the window, and he couldn't see the dark scenes in the house.

In the past two years, he suffered from macular degeneration in his eyes, and after a dark shadow appeared, within a short period of one or two months,

His eyes were completely blind, and he could only leave his original position, his original career,

Obviously he was just blind, but he felt like he was paralyzed.
The children also hired someone to take care of him, but every time he wanted to go out for a long time, he was always pushed out in a wheelchair.

The person who slept in the next room to take care of him without making a sound, did not fumble for the one who rang the bell next to the bed,

The old man sat up from the bed with his hands, and sat against the head of the bed,

He raised his head, facing the darkness in his eyes, not knowing what to think.

After a long time, the old man stretched out his hand again, leaned forward, and groped for the bedside table next to the bed.

On the bedside table was the bottle of melatonin he had placed there,
"Whoa..."

He groped for a while before touching the medicine bottle,
He picked up the medicine bottle, and there were rustling sounds in the quiet room.

He wanted to unscrew the bottle cap, but some thoughts couldn't stop popping up in his mind,

Did you get your medicine bottle right?Did you get another pill bottle of the same shape,

He can't see it.

"……Hey……"

Sighed a second time,

He put back the medicine bottle that had just been unscrewed.

groping again,

He found a pair of bluetooth headsets and a mobile phone from the bedside,
There are several large icons displayed on the mobile phone, and the entire page looks very simple.

The old man fumbled on the screen, and a voice rang in his ears through the earphones.

"Start reading."

Since he went blind,

Watching TV can only hear the sound, and reading books can only be listened to, only the electronic version.

He likes listening to novels, and after being blind for a while, there seem to be only a few things he can do,

Immersed in the illusory world of the novel, sometimes some pictures described in the novel can appear in his mind,
Let him temporarily forget about his blindness.

So he also has several reading apps in his mobile phone, mainly for reading e-books to him.

But he doesn't really like the novels that most young people like to read,

He still likes to watch slow and in-depth works.

And most of the books in his bookshelf were found and added by the nurse who took care of him.

It is difficult for him to find novels to read.

"Seven Days of Hell"

The built-in visually impaired mode of the mobile phone reads the words pressed by the old man,

Following his usual memory, the old man clicked into this book,
It seemed very clumsy, and after several attempts, I finally clicked on the reading button that comes with the reading software.
"...he seems to be blind?
He can't see anything..."

When the sound of the novel reading from the earphone reaches the place where the protagonist is blind,
The old man paused all his movements.
But the reading software did not stop, but continued to read the plot of the novel.

……

"Ha~"

noon the next day.

The midday sun looms from time to time behind the clouds.

Ji Zhuo sat up from the bedroom bed and yawned.

Many people tossed and turned last night because of his new book, but they slept soundly last night.

Stretched comfortably,

Ji Zhuo casually touched the phone next to the bed,
Opened the backstage of the writer who started to read the net, and glanced at it.

"Seven Days of Hell"

1569 favorites, 1996 recommendations, 101 comments, 96 tips, 236 investments, 102 monthly tickets.

Looking at this is not bad data,

Ji Zhuo's mentality didn't fluctuate at all.
Not too strange.

Based on the last [-] average subscriptions of the last book, these data should be available on the first day of the new book release.

Most of the old readers didn't read it at all, and just closed their eyes to collect and vote.

This is because Ji Zhuo has never released a single chapter in the old book at all. Some old readers probably don’t even know that he has released a new book, otherwise the previous day’s collection and other data would have increased even more.

The final result of this book still depends on the follow-up situation, or the order on the shelves.

Looking at the data,

Ji Zhuo glanced at the comments of the book by the way,
"Interesting! This is the first time I've seen this kind of doomsday!"

"...This idea is absolutely perfect! The author of the dog is cleaner, and the donkeys in the production team dare not rest like this."

"... How does the author write about the classification of reality in his new book? It's still about this kind of subject. It's well written, but I'm not very interested. I've collected it first, and voted for the monthly ticket. I won't read the book, and I look forward to the author's next book. "

Ji Zhuo flipped through a few comments that he saw in the background,
Found the expected reader comments,
Most of the readers who know him now are not those who have followed him from the first book, and have blind faith in him.

Most readers, that is, the last book "Resuscitating Cthulhu" know him, and when they see him publish a new book, they will come and have a look.

When I saw something I didn't want to see, I left naturally, not so blindly.

"Maybe I can squeeze the system once this month?"

Ji Zhuo smiled.

Then scroll down and make a few comments,

There are rainbow farts, there are reminders,
Some are worried that Ji Zhuo’s book will not do well, and some who have witnessed his counterattack in the first book and the second book have become blind to him, and his books are the readers who read them.

After a few more glances, Ji Zhuo closed the writer's background,

Holding the mobile phone, I got up from the bed and walked outside the house.

At the same time, I also glanced at Penguin chat to see if there was any news,
On one side, I went to the sink and prepared to wash.

"Squid: Boss, you really published a new book with realistic themes?"

This is a message from Squid in the early hours of last night.

It seems that I saw his new book,
It can be seen through the screen that the shock when the squid sent a message,

"Clumsy and uncommon: what else?"

While brushing his teeth, Ji Zhuo poked on the screen of the phone placed next to the sink, and replied a message.

Then there was the reaction to his new book in the book friend group.

"Grass in the Canyon: Have you all read the new book by the author of the dog? I think it is very interesting... But it is published by the author of the dog in the real category, and this style will not be good.

Wuhu Feiqi: I think it's pretty good, which book by the author of the dog is not like this.He dared to write about subjects that others dare not write about, and I admire him for that.

30 per second: I also think it’s pretty good-looking and interesting, and it’s refreshing to watch.

I am a mortal: I know the meaning of the canyon, this book looks really interesting, but for this kind of subject, this category of novels, let me ask, if you hadn’t read the author’s first two books, you would have clicked in see?

Grass in the Canyon: Yes, that's what I mean.I'm afraid that the author's book won't be well received, and it will become a niche boutique by then, but the results will be the same. "

Ji Zhuo looked at the news in the reader group,

with a smile on his face,
The reader's eyes are discerning,
Basically the same as his judgment.

This book is the kind of work that has creative significance and certain value, but it is a typical work that is not very flattering in the Internet literature circle.

"I'm just a trumpet: It's okay, I think the book by the dog author is only a medium-length novel, and I won't write it for long."

Ji Zhuo also comforted his readers,
He has such a good heart.

And after washing,

Ji Zhuo also saw that the squid replied to the message at this time.

"Squid: ... Awesome!
Squid: The boss is awesome! "

Watch the news that the squid is back.

Ji Zhuo just smiled,
Put the phone away, and walked into the study,
nothing else,
Readers are waiting for food, they are going to kill the donkeys of the production team,

The code has been updated.

……

And on the other side,
Squid watched the news of Ji Zhuo's reply, held back for a long time, and then replied a big boss,

Then I clicked on the mobile phone to start reading the novel app, and fell into deep thought while reading Ji Zhuo's new book "Seven Days of Hell".

"...Why are you in a daze?"

The squid sister next to him glanced at the squid, saw the squid sitting there moving in a daze, and asked a question.

"...No. I'm just thinking. Should I also write a realistic one or a science fiction one for my next book?"

Squid shook his head, said aloud, and then became more and more energetic as he spoke,

"I have always talked about breaking through the comfort zone, breaking through the comfort zone, but I have never dared to touch realistic subjects. I am wondering whether to write a realistic subject."

The more the squid talked, the more he fell into deep thought, as if he was already thinking about this matter seriously.

Mrs. Squid looked at the squid with strange eyes. After a pause,

Then he walked over, stretched out his hand and twisted the squid's waist.

"what……"

The squid let out a cry of pain and came back to his senses.

"I'm not dreaming either."

Mrs. Squid looked at the squid and muttered.

Squid was still dazed, looking at Mrs. Squid, he was pinched for some reason.

"...then why don't you write about games, sports, military?"

"...Well, I can also consider it."

Squid came back to his senses, smiled and said,
Mrs. Squid rolled her eyes,

Leave him alone, and take out the phone by yourself,

Start reading the net and take a look.

"...You know the author, you urge him to update, why haven't you updated today?"

She is also following "Seven Days of Hell".

……

"Crackling."

In the study room, the sound of typing on the keyboard sounded again.

Ji Zhuo had to code out today's update. Fortunately, he already had some ideas about the follow-up plot.
The coding is also fairly smooth.

When the sun outside the house gradually begins to slant westward,
Ji Zhuo then stayed in the study for half a day,

It can be said that he doesn't hear things outside the window, and only works as a coder.

The blank pages are filled with words,

The subsequent plot also continued to unfold under Ji Zhuo's pen.

"...Xu Hua and several other professors from various fields arrived in the same car with automatic driving."

"...he didn't even know where he was, or what the surrounding environment was like. He didn't even know how long the car had been driving, maybe an hour, maybe longer."

"...'We are inside the capital military region', the people who came to pick up Xu Hua and several other professors seemed to be able to sense Xu Hua's doubts, and explained something for Xu Hua, but did not say much.

'Professors, please hold the arm of the person in front, and I will lead you into the conference room where the meeting is held. '

Someone said something again.

Several people got out of the car, only the occasional physical contact and some other noises after getting out of the car made Xu Hua feel that there were still people around.

Xu Hua grabbed the man's arm, and another professor behind him grabbed his arm.

After confirming through voice that everyone had grasped the arm of the person in front, the group seemed to move forward.

After walking for a while, it seemed that they had reached a certain place, and the person who led the way stopped.

Xu Hua's eyes were still pitch black, he didn't even know if he had entered the building, after he didn't touch the surrounding things, his perception of the surrounding environment was the darkness with nothing in front of him. "

 Ask for favorites, recommendations, investments, and monthly tickets.
