I rely on talking to brush the copy

As early as when he was in Fengtian, Le Jing had thought about submitting his work to the Literary Newspaper, but he gave up because he was not sure.

Now he does not have to worry about his livelihood for the time being, and he has the opportunity to try and make mistakes, so he submitted his work to the Literary Newspaper without any psychological burden this time.

In his opinion, if the Literary Newspaper does not like his novel, he will turn to other newspapers. There are so many newspapers in Peking, and it is not impossible to find a newspaper that will publish his article.

So after submitting the manuscript, Le Jing did not consider the follow-up problems and began to concentrate on his recuperation.

His illness this time really hurt his vitality. Now that the weather is getting warmer, he is still wearing thick cotton clothes, his hands and feet are cold, and he starts to have a fever and cough after a little wind.

An old Chinese doctor he found took his pulse and talked about the mysterious theory of Chinese medicine. In summary, his body is too weak now, he thinks too much, and he cannot be supplemented by medicine. Medicine is useless, and he can only slowly recuperate.

He still remembered that the old man didn't know what he had imagined in the end. He looked at him with a complicated expression, shook his head and sighed: "Too much wisdom will hurt you. You'd better relax."

Le Jing believed that he was not a person who liked to get stuck in a rut. He was open-minded when encountering things. After thinking about it, he could only have one explanation for his current physical condition - his soul had a rejection reaction with Li Jingran's body.

It was quite logical to think like this. After all, Le Jing was a resurrection. In medicine, organ transplants still have rejection reactions. It doesn't make sense that there is no such thing. Moreover, Li Jingran had always been a fool, and his brain had always been a decoration, while Le Jing just liked to think, just like a computer with very low configuration that was always running at high load, and the CPU would overheat and the computer would go black.

Le Jing couldn't change his body, so now he could only make do with it.

But...

Le Jing had a question that he had been thinking about and curious about for a long time since he woke up from this era - if he died in this era, would he return to the modern era, or really die? Or... would he travel to another world?

But he was just curious, and he didn't plan to conduct experiments for the time being. This era is still interesting, and the ordinary daily life of ordinary people in the Republic of China is not so boring. He still has some things he wants to do. Li Shuran, who has a pure heart, is still "beautiful", so he doesn't mind being her good brother. In short, it's not too late to commit suicide to verify his conjecture after he gets bored here.

In order to stay in the Republic of China for a longer time with this low-configuration body, Le Jing decided to start his own Buddhist recuperation routine. He would write books, appreciate flowers, feed birds, and be a low-key and indifferent Buddhist man.

However, Le Jing wanted to be Buddhist, but others didn't let him be Buddhist.

So in the afternoon of this day, Le Jing, who was sitting on a stone bench in front of the courtyard feeding sparrows, heard a "gossip" from the rickshaw driver.

His sister, Li Shuran, a primary school student who is only thirteen years old this year, seems to have a passionate pursuer.

Le Jing did not just send Li Shuran to school and then ignore her. Considering the poor security situation in the Republic of China, he asked the landlord to introduce a reliable rickshaw driver and hired him to pick up Li Shuran every day. It was the rickshaw driver who told him that someone was pursuing Li Shuran.

"The lady asked me not to tell you. I thought about it and decided that you should know about this matter." The driver said, "Someone invited the lady to dinner and seemed to want to pursue her, but she refused."

Le Jing raised his eyebrows and was not too surprised. Thirteen years old looks very young in modern times, but in the Republic of China, it is also half an adult. It is normal for a young and beautiful girl to have suitors.

"What is the other party's identity? How old is he?"

The driver replied, "He is only a few years older than the lady, and he looks well-dressed. He is not a poor family. I don't know what his family does." He hesitated for a moment and added, "The man's eyes look... not very straight."

Le Jing nodded, indicating that he knew and did not care too much.

He would provide Li Shuran with a life of food and clothing, and as for what kind of life she wanted, it would depend on her own choice. As long as the choice was the result of her free will, Le Jing would respect it. So since Li Shuran didn't want him to interfere, he respected her idea.

And... from his observation of Li Shuran, the little girl is now obsessed with studying and hasn't gotten her way yet. No matter what the suitor is up to, he should give up after hitting a wall a few times.

...

Yang Jinglun is an intern editor of the "Literature Newspaper". He just graduated from high school this year. He is envied by many people for being able to work in the national newspaper "Literature Newspaper". So he also made up his mind to work hard and make a career. Unfortunately, his ambitions were soon defeated by the bleak reality.

As a new intern and the youngest editor in the editorial department, he was usually responsible for some work such as serving tea, pouring water and cleaning, which was far from his imagination of a beautiful life of chatting and laughing with literary masters and sleeping with their feet touching.

Of course he would also review manuscripts. Every day, manuscripts from all over the country would be gathered in the editorial department, but these were all manuscripts from newcomers.

Famous writers have established a stable contribution relationship with "Literary Journal" and have exclusive editors in charge of them. Those veteran editors have almost monopolized all the pillars in "Literary Journal", and the newcomers in charge of Yang Jinglun The manuscripts are sitting on top of each other in the corners of the newspaper, occupying a few half-palm-sized spaces, not to mention how frustrating it is.

This morning, after pouring a round of tea for the seniors in the editorial department, Yang Jinglun finally had time to sit back in his seat and start reading the new manuscripts. To be honest, this is not an interesting job for him, because new writers also mean poor grammar, poor plots, and some even have typos throughout the text, which hurts the eyes.

On this day too, after he read through countless unappetizing works, he finally found one that stood out to him. He hasn't read the content yet, but at least the author's manuscript is clean and there are no traces of alteration, which makes people feel refreshed at first glance.

This made his impression of this unknown author's work much higher. Based on this, the rejection letter he will write later will be gentler.

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and as soon as his eyes turned to the manuscript paper, he was attracted by the unconventional title - "Rat Eyes Look Down on People"?

This name is somewhat interesting. He began to read the content of the article with great interest. Unknowingly, his expression became more and more serious, and his original scornful heart had long since been put away. When he read the article to the end, he sighed with regret, feeling sorry for this article in his heart. The author of the article has nothing but deep admiration and admiration.

He has never read such a story, such a ridiculous, whimsical, yet inspiring and thought-provoking article!

It was only after reading the full text that he realized the author's clever choice of names! Do rats look down on people? ha! Isn’t it just that rats look down on others? After reading the article, he had to lament that humans are really inferior to rats.

As the name suggests, "Rat Eyes Look Down on People" tells a story about people looking down on people with rat eyes. The author geniusly determines the identity of the protagonist as a pet rat, and he is also a "superior rat" who has traveled through time and space from China a hundred years later and has enjoyed the influence of advanced civilization. Such a fantastic idea is really exciting. He marveled. And that’s not the best part of this ingenious story!

Rat eyes see people differently than human eyes see people. How would a dumb rat from the future, completely independent of human society, view these "ancients"? How do you view all aspects of human society? What will China be like a hundred years from now? This was Yang Jinglun's question when he first read the article, and the author didn't shy away from it and answered it with a doctor's story.

This white guinea rat named Bai Xue just came to this era. Because he helped a doctor find medicinal herbs, and because of his cute snow-white fur, he seemed to be unhuman, so he was picked up and made a pet by the doctor.

The doctor is a famous doctor, with a kind heart and a skillful rejuvenation. He has saved countless people in his life. He is a gentleman of high moral character.

He knows that his country is poor and many poor people cannot afford medical treatment, so he always treats people for free. He is a living bodhisattva in the eyes of many poor people.

But there are too many poor people in this world, and he can't save them.

The pet rat Bai Xue saw that his new owner gradually moved from a big house to a small one, his suit was replaced by a long gown, the foreign watch disappeared, and the smell of oil on the dining table became less and less common.

So when the new owner broke off his own steamed buns to feed it again, it ran away.

With her beautiful coat color, Bai Xue soon became the favorite pet of a noble lady and once again lived a life of fine clothing and fine food.

The next time I heard about the doctor was three months later, I heard someone laughing at the doctor at a banquet, saying that he had previously spent all his money to treat people, but now he was so poor that he couldn't even afford to treat himself when he was sick. I can only wait to die.

Although Bai Xue is a mouse, he thinks he is a mouse with only thoughts and emotions, so he plans to visit the doctor.

It took a long time to find the doctor's home - not long after he left, the increasingly poor doctor moved to a thatched house in the suburbs.

When it arrived, the doctor was already dying of illness. He had saved so many people during his lifetime, but he fell ill and died in a thatched hut. The only person who accompanied him during his lifetime was a dumb rat.

Bai Xue feels a little pity for the doctor. After all, the diseases the doctor has are minor illnesses that can be cured in future generations. Even if the doctor has no money, the country has medical insurance that can reimburse him for medical expenses.

It's a pity that this is the backward Republic of China after all, so Bai Xue can only watch the doctor die with his own eyes. Then Bai Xue, out of moral integrity, called someone to collect his body.

The doctor's parents had died of illness and there were no relatives left at home, so the landlord cursed the bad luck while picking up the doctor's body with a straw and threw it into a mass grave, just like any poor person in this world.

Before leaving, the landlord sneered at his corpse and said: "He is still a doctor, but he doesn't even understand this. Listen carefully, there is only one disease in the world that no one can cure, and that is poverty." sick!"

A few days later, another poor man came to seek medical treatment. A poor neighbor from a nearby thatched hut shouted: "Oh, it's such a bad time for you to come. Dr. Wu has already died of illness. He couldn't even cure his own disease. I want to come." He is not a very good doctor, so you should find another doctor!”

"But other doctors charge money for medical treatment." The poor man complained: "Doctor Wu died at the wrong time!"

Several months later, when Bai Xue came here again, she found that no one here had mentioned the dead Dr. Wu.

…

Yang Jinglun read this story several times, each time he had a different understanding. He should be angry because of Dr. Wu's tragic ending.

In the beginning, he was indeed angry, for this unfair world and for this ruthless people.

But after the anger passed, the landlord's last words began to keep lingering in his mind, "There is only one disease in the world that cannot be cured, and that is the disease of poverty!"

He chewed these words in his mouth countless times. The moment he understood the deep meaning behind it, he no longer felt angry. He only felt cold all over his body, and the sadness turned into a wave that almost swallowed him up. He finally understood what the author really meant.

This impoverished country is so sick that no wise doctor can do anything about it. Everyone living in this sick country has become infected, and even Dr. Wu is no exception. He seemed to hear the author's roar with the help of this novel: Dr. Wu's death was not the fault of the heartless people, it was the fault of this era when people were inferior to rats, and it was the fault of this unfair country that did not let good people live!

But beneath the profound despair and sorrow, there is also a glimmer of hope that the author gives readers, which is the bright and beautiful future China where Bai Xue lives. In that future, China's medical skills will be developed, the country will provide basic medical security to the poor, the people will be happy, the country will be prosperous, and the nation will have hope.

It is precisely in this future China that is so beautiful that it is almost unreal, that pet rats as sensible as snow will be born. It is precisely this bright future that can give every Chinese person the motivation to work unremittingly! It is precisely because of countless warriors like Dr. Wu who fight to the end against this cannibalistic world that China can have a bright and bright tomorrow!

He sat in silence for a long time before his thoughts got out of the article, and the editor's instinct began to boil in his blood.

No one knows the excellence of this article better than him! Maybe his literary talent is not the best, but in terms of thoughts and ideas, it is a perfect masterpiece, and it can be directly published in their newspaper without any deletion.

The author who wrote such a mature article cannot be just an unknown newcomer! He thought about the pen name "Night Watcher" for a long time, but he never thought it was the pseudonym of a famous person. Looking at the address on the envelope, it has nothing to do with the celebrities in the newspaper.

An idea just popped up in his mind, making Yang Jinglun's heart full of passion, and his eyes when looking at the envelope were even hotter.

Is it really possible that this is really a newcomer's contribution? And Yang Jinglun will be the first Bole to fall in love with this thousand-mile horse?

When he thought of this possibility, his brain felt dizzy with excitement, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body with excitement. The chair under his butt burned like a stove, and he couldn't sit still at all. So the editors in the same editing room as Yang Jinglun saw this scene with their own eyes: the new young man's face was red and he ran out like a rat.

"Still at work! What are you doing?"

Yang Jinglun answered without looking back: "I'm going to go on a field trip!"

The editors looked at each other in confusion. They were not reporters from the press department, so why did they do field work? There was an old man who shook his head solemnly and sighed: "Today's young people are really uncertain!"

So Jing, a Buddhist man who was growing flowers at home and was addicted to health, was blocked by a young man who claimed to be the editor of the "Literary Newspaper". Then he became confused because of the young editor's endless interpretation of his article. fell into silence.

"Dr. Wu's death is not the fault of the heartless people, it is the fault of this dark and tragic era, and the fault of this unfair country that does not let good people live!"

Le Jing:……

"This country is sick, and has been sick for nearly a hundred years. Individual efforts are just a mantis under the pressure of the times. Do we have to give up because of this? No! Never! So sir, you lent Bai Xue, the pet rat from the future, to Readers' hope of fighting against the times Hope. Look, the future is so bright. Even a pet rat is more civilized and compassionate than a human being, and leads a decent life that is envied by the poor. What reason do we have not to strive for that bright and beautiful future? ? Sir, do you understand me correctly?”

Le Jing:……

Facing the young editor's shining eyes, Le Jing nodded as if nothing had happened: "Yes, you are right."

Sure enough, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers.

In fact, his original intention is to tell readers that studying medicine cannot save Chinese people!

However, the editor's interpretation is also very reasonable and can be used as an excellent reading comprehension answer template. It is a good starting point for Chinese language test papers.

The author has something to say:

Note: The landlord said in "Rat Eyes Look Down on People": "There is only one disease in the world that no one can cure, and that is the disease of poverty!" This is adapted from a line by a counterfeit drug dealer in "I'm Not a Medicine God". This sentence touched me very much.

In the last chapter, I saw a comment from a reader who questioned the huge contrast between the first chapter and subsequent performances of Lejing. This is my fault. Because this is a series of articles, I explained the origin of Le Jing's character in "Plane Little Bookstore", but I subconsciously forgot to write out the reason in this book. This is too unfriendly to new readers. I will strengthen my understanding of Le Jing in the future. This chapter also briefly mentions Le Jing’s thoughts and [abnormality].

Below I’ll post the original plot from another book about Le Jing’s analysis of his own personality:

【“When a person is born, he has no self. Human growth is actually a process of self-development and growth. So it is difficult for people to have memories of when they were one or two years old, because at that time, people have not yet formed their self, so there is no memory based on the self.” The young man’s eyes were empty, obviously lost in memories, with a relaxed and happy smile on his lips, “My self was born very early, probably when I was two years old and learning to walk. It was an autumn, and many red maple leaves fell on the ground. When I was young and had not yet formed aesthetic awareness, I stood there looking at those maple leaves, and unexpectedly I had an awareness of beauty: maple leaves are so beautiful. So ‘I’ was born. ”

“My self forced me to get closer to the maple leaves. So without anyone to help me, I learned to walk. This is the original story about my self. A beautiful story that began with maple leaves.”

The young man propped up his chin with his hands intertwined, and smiled at the stunned half-elf, his eyes were rarely bright and lively: “In other words, I came to this world because of ‘beauty’, and ‘beauty’ is my connection with the world. So if I hold a sword, it will not be for personal gain, but to fight to protect ‘beauty’, for which I can do whatever it takes. ”

That’s why he has always ignored his father’s worries and control. His father was really overthinking. Crime is indeed very simple for him, and it is an instinct like breathing. It is also too unchallenging and boring.

Life is short, and we must always find some meaning for life to live up to our life in this world. What a beautiful and ugly world this is. So he is willing to use his life to protect this beauty, and will always point the sword in his hand at evil and ugliness.

Not for justice, not for righteousness, not for law and morality, just because it is interesting enough, and he wants to do it.

Keynes looked at Le Jing blankly and asked, "What is beauty?"

"Everyone has a different definition of beauty." Le Jing smiled gently, his eyes were like the Milky Way hanging above the sky, bright, gorgeous, always dazzling, and shining forever: "For me, interesting is beautiful. Interesting people are beautiful, and interesting world is also beautiful. In order to protect interesting people and the world, I will become the night watchman of the times."】

————————————————————————

At this time, Le Jing was still relatively immature, and had not yet formed his mature "aesthetic theory" after adulthood, but he had begun to learn to protect beautiful things. The sister of the original body in the Republic of China world has a pure and flawless heart, which is beautiful enough for him to protect, so he will play the role of a good brother. But if Li Shuran becomes "ugly", then Le Jing will abandon her immediately, and will only provide her with basic material life out of obligation. He will not even see Li Shuran's figure in his eyes, and he will completely ignore her.

Le Jing is a non-mainstream antisocial personality patient, but at the same time he has some similarities with the antisocial Holmes in the BBC version, that is, he is also tired of dullness and pursues exciting or interesting things.
