Corpse Retriever

Missing for a year.

In the first half of the year, I was recovering from my illness.

Normal people recover from facial paralysis in half a month, but I had a big one.

A few months later, I went to the hospital for an electromyogram, and there was still no signal on half of my face. My eyes could not close completely, and I could only rely on eye drops to relieve it every day.

After consulting a doctor, I learned that if this disease has not shown signs of recovery for such a long time, it will be difficult in the future.

So I quickly prepared myself to have facial paralysis for the rest of my life, and then gave up treatment and let it go.

After a while, hey, it actually began to recover little by little.

For a while, I was used to having only half of my face, and I still only used half of my face when making expressions. Every time I realized that the other half of my face could move, I would fill it back, and the lag symmetry belonged to it.

Although there are still some sequelae now, it no longer affects my life and is basically invisible.

In the first half of the year, in addition to facial paralysis, there were many other problems with my body. I used to think that I was young and fearless, but I worked hard on my body and it collapsed directly.

When you start to reminisce about your youth, it proves that your youth has left you;

When you really understand "I wish you good health" and no longer regard it as an insignificant polite word, it proves that you have at least lost it.

At that time, a friend in the same industry was sick, and he came to tell me. I comforted and encouraged him, asking him to stay optimistic and positive. He did the same, and used to add a smiley face when chatting later.

Then suddenly one day I got the news that he was gone.

In fact, our relationship was not that close. We were both otakus and had not met many times in real life. I still remember that when we met last time, after everyone finished eating and the waiter came to pay the bill, I silently stepped back half a step and let him show up and pay the bill.

Thinking about it now, ah, I really deserve to die.

In the last period of his life, he still behaved very open-minded and optimistic, but his departure had a great impact on me, and it happened that my body was not good at that time.

It turned out that I, who encouraged him to be optimistic and positive, was a coward.

I think I was depressed during that time. When it was serious, I would wake up every night with palpitations. Every day, I was either not interested in anything or inexplicably angry and wanted to lose my temper.

At that time, every time I thought of "coding", I would feel disgusted and fearful, and shuddered. It was really that the psychological shadow caused by that incident was too great. I once thought that my career should be over.

After recuperating for half a year, my body recovered a little. I thought that I didn't have time before and had been staying at home for several months without going out, so I went out for a walk to relax.

Then I drove a 318 trip by myself. After returning, I drove G331 around the Northeast. After returning, I drove to Hainan. After returning, I drove to WLMQ around the northern Xinjiang...

I was like an ant, crawling around on the map of the motherland.

So much so that later there was really no place to go, and I actually began to complain in my heart why my ancestors didn't lay down more land back then.

The Broken Bridge of the Yalu River, the magnificence of Changbai Mountain, the grandeur of Qilian Mountain, the tranquility of Sayram Lake, the sandstorms in Inner Mongolia...

Really, going out more often is really useful.

I realized that, in a more literary way, I felt my own insignificance, and in a more popular way, I finally found out that I was nothing.

Then, I felt itchy and found the desire to write a book again.

Although I said last time that I would use the window period to study hard to make up for my shortcomings and improve myself...

But, I am sorry to tell you that I really haven't made any progress.

As an author, I haven't read much for several years. Not only that, I also found myself getting more and more out of touch.

In the previous chapter, Liu Yumei said that middle-aged people lose the motivation to learn new things, which is about me.

I went to find books to read. I can feel that the authors of many books are well written, interesting, and exciting, but I just can't read them. Some trendy styles are not suitable for me.

Then, I was unwilling to force myself to scan the charts, study and analyze. Reason told me that as a creator, this was a slow death, and I was destined to be eliminated by the times, but emotion told me that I should give up.

Because the last experience of physical and mental collapse told me that it was not certain which would come faster, being eliminated by the times or myself.

I knew very early that my style could not write a hit book, and I was only suitable for a niche.

So this time, I simply wanted to write something that I was interested in.

Nantong is my hometown, and I wrote my hometown dialect. I know that this may increase the difficulty of your reading, but it’s okay, I have a strong sense of substitution.

The characters’ homes in the book are actually my relatives’ homes in my hometown. I have positioned them in my mind. Who lives in my uncle’s home, who lives in my aunt’s home, and who is my relative of Li Sanjiang’s family who does paper-making business. When I was a child, I often went to watch Ultraman with children of the same age in his family.

So when Xiao Yuanhou and others were running maps in the village, I was in the perspective of God. Oh, I went to "cloud visit relatives" again.

I’m over 30 now, and I’ve finally reached the threshold to write some period stories.

Actually, I’ve wanted to write for a long time, but it’s not suitable because I have to wait not only for myself to get older, but also for my readers to get older.

Fortunately, everyone is old.

I can happily reminisce.

My interest in writing this book lies largely in the fact that I suddenly thought of an old object from the past, and then I wrote it in, waiting to see what this chapter says, waiting for old readers like me to post this chapter and say "Oh, yes, yes, I used to use this in my hometown."

However, it is inevitable that there will be some cognitive biases caused by geographical factors or uneven development of rural areas in that era.

For example, when I wrote that there was a small river behind Li Weihan's house, I remember that day a reader came to criticize me for writing nonsense, saying that if the house was built by the river, wouldn't it be washed away by the water! I saw the IP address and it was a reader from Shaanxi.

This is normal. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that there would be a town built against a cliff. I can only say that our country is really too big, and the landform features are really too rich.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum!

In fact, many times, the supernatural elements are more like a thread that is strung together in this book, and the beads on the thread are stories and individuals.

In my understanding, traditional supernatural stories don’t follow the pure upgrade route, so that they don’t break barriers and ascend to heaven in the end.

Therefore, the pace of this book will be very slow, and many things will be written in detail, which will be very watery, and will be flooded with water, so watery that it will be crazy.

When I showed the beginning of the manuscript to the editor-in-chief, my editor-in-chief reminded me that the pace was too slow and it was easy to discourage people.

I said it was okay, I did it on purpose.

If you want to be bad, you have to have a bad attitude. Anyway, readers who are not used to this style will be discouraged by the beginning, and those who stay... those who have read all the way to the comments on the shelf have all survived the hardships.

When I don’t have any big requirements for the performance of the book, I think I can also take the initiative to choose my readers, so this should be called looking for people with the same frequency resonance.

Our country has a large population, and I am not a perverted one in a million. I always think that if I like something I find interesting, there will definitely be a group of people who have the same taste as me.

After I persuaded some readers to leave, when the number of words is more, everyone who stayed in this chapter is good friends with similar interests. We can communicate and play more harmoniously and happily, which helps to create a more comfortable atmosphere.

Here, I want to thank my editor-in-chief Yisuo and editor Zhusha, because I have never been an obedient author, and they have always been very tolerant and helpful to me.

I also want to thank Yintian, pp, Yashao, Fanfan, Miaosang, Sisi, and others. I suddenly said that I would publish a book, and then I called them to help me set up the operation team.

I also want to thank the readers who kept sending me private messages to ask when I would come back in the past year, and you who gathered quickly after the book was published.

I found that I am really getting lazier and lazier now. I really can't say sensational words. You see, I am too lazy to even take the title of each chapter.

Of course, it is also because each chapter is too long and it is not easy to take a title.

The only author's words I said during the entire new book period were "There is another chapter before 0 o'clock."

Other than that, I didn't say a word. Because I don't think it's necessary, just communicate with everyone through the content of the chapter. I add a string of my own words or words of thanks below, I think it will ruin everyone's reading experience.

Well, after saying so much, it's time to end.

The next chapter is the chapter for the shelf, which will be posted at 0:00 tonight (may be delayed for a few minutes).

Don't say that I am lazy and blacked out today's update. In fact, I only had 3 chapters in hand when I posted the book, and then I wrote them on the third day after the book was posted. If I had saved the manuscript, I wouldn't have been so crazy that I would post updates every day, and post them later and later.

Old readers are familiar with my writing habits.

In addition, due to some reasons, the shelf plan was temporarily advanced.

Therefore, today's update can only wait until 0:00 to post the shelf chapter, because if I write the update at night, what awaits me is that I don't have time to write the update for the shelf, and the superiors arrange a shelf activity for me, and then everyone sees, oh, this guy doesn't have a VIP chapter!

Finally, I am lucky to have you accompany me on the road of life. Everyone should post more chapters and brainstorm more. You may not be as good as me in writing long articles, but I am not as imaginative as you.

Finally,

Don't panic,

Hold the dragon tightly!
