Chapter 1335 Dead Water

Fangzheng said, "Uh...it's not that miserable."

Yu Nian smiled wryly and shook his head, "It will only be worse than you think, do you know? I'm getting married today."

Fangzheng nodded, expressing his understanding.

Yu Nian said: "But you must not know how many times I have been on blind dates before I got to this point."

Fangzheng said, "How many times?"

Yu Nian said: "I started blind dates three years ago, five times a month, sixty times a year, and one hundred and eighty times in three years! Basically, I used up almost all the resources around me, and only found one who was willing to talk to me more. Two sentences. In most cases, the woman asks me what I do, and I say that I am an Internet writer, and basically the matter is over."

Fangzheng said, "So miserable?"

Yu Nian said: "Basically, in the eyes of most girls, internet writers are a bunch of poor scumbag nerds. Because they don't know you, they can only ask their friends around them. Most of the internet writers that their friends know They're all one of five or six million people, or the ones who are barely getting by. So the feedback I get is...it's impossible to live."

Fangzheng said, "Then do you hate them?"

Yu Nian shook his head and said, "I don't hate, what are you doing if you hate someone? They're right in the first place, it's just a blind date, not a betrayal. Everyone has the right to choose their own happiness. I can't ask others to accept me just because of my misfortune." Bar."

Fangzheng laughed when he heard this: "It's good that you can think that way. You said before that you were still one thousand and two last year, so how much is it this year?"

Yu Nian said: "I'm a foolish bird. I have worked hard on literature for ten years, and finally broke out in the second half of last year. I can now earn more than 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month. Plus channel fees, and physical publishing For the fee, the most I got in a month was hundreds of thousands.”

Speaking of this, Yu Nian was quite proud, and then he did not forget to add: "Also, my copyright is also being discussed. If it succeeds, I should be able to get about one million."

Fangzheng gave a thumbs up and said, "Excellent, so your conditions should be very good. At least, better than most people in Songwu County, right?"

Yu Nian said: "I think so too, but I think it's useless to get married. The woman must feel the same way..."

Fangzheng said: "By the way, is it right for you to get married today? Why did you come to the poor monk?"

Speaking of this, Yu Nian's originally energetic eyes dimmed instantly, and he said bitterly: "Master, I actually want to ask you whether I should continue writing web articles."

Fangzheng said, "Why do you ask the poor monk?"

Yu Nian subconsciously took out a pack of cigarettes and wanted to smoke, but when he took it out, he remembered that this is a monastery and smoking is not allowed.

Fangzheng smiled and said, "Let's go for a walk, you can smoke outside."

Yu Nian nodded gratefully and followed Fangzheng out.

Although the snow on the mountain is thick, it has not snowed for many days in a row. The mountain wind is strong enough to blow the thick snow into a layer of snow shell like a slate. Like on concrete.

The only difference is that it's a little slippery...

In addition, there are many tourists, and the people who come every day can step on many places on the mountain with their feet alone.

Therefore, it is not difficult for two people to walk together.

Yu Nian lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and said, "I'm very confused, I don't know if I should continue."

Fangzheng didn't speak, and waited quietly.

Yu Nian continued: "I like writing. I have liked writing since I was a child, but there has never been any channel for me to live on something. You know, the sales of traditional publications are not high, and the remuneration is pitiful. The most important thing Yes, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t matter, it’s very difficult to be selected. So, even if it’s just a few dollars, it’s not so easy to earn.”

Fangzheng nodded deeply, because there used to be an old gentleman in Yizhi Village, who used to teach in a private school, and he was full of words, lingering in every sentence. At that time, Fangzheng felt that the other party was sour, but when Fangzheng grew up, he realized that the old man was eloquent, citing scriptures, and what he said was very wonderful.

Fangzheng still remembered that once the old man was furious, he stood on the street cursing for more than an hour, and finally recited an article directly. At that time, Fangzheng was curious, so he listened to it, but didn't remember it.

Later, when I went to school and learned this article, I realized that it was the poem used by old Mr. Wen Yiduo to scold people - stagnant water!

At that time, the old man submitted a manuscript to a county publication, but it was rejected.

It’s okay to reject it. The old man told others at the beginning that there are too many outstanding literati in the world, and the things he wrote are still not good...

But when that issue of the magazine came out, the old man saw that the poem that took his place was actually...

"Oh sky, you are blue.

you are so blue...

I've always dreamed of flying,

Unfortunately no chance. "

That's right, it was such a poem, which replaced the poem that the old man had been pondering for a month.

So the old man became angry, and ran to the county seat overnight, blocked the door of the publication and yelled at the people inside, and later found out that the person who wrote the poem was a retired cadre, he was free, but he also wanted to be a scholar , Cultivate your sentiment.

That poem not only replaced the old man's poem, but also won the grand prize in the city that year. The cadre was so dazed at the time that he threw away the certificate when he went to receive the prize, and threw down a sentence: "What the hell... Can I still win an award with that shit? Are you kidding me? Or are you scolding me?"

Then the old cadre walked away...

That also became a joke at the time.

The old man didn't know what happened afterwards. Anyway, after that incident, he started cursing when he came back, and it was also on that day that he recited the stagnant water.

Fangzheng couldn't remember the whole content of Dead Water, but he always felt very happy about the last sentence or two, so he was very impressed, and now he can recite it: why don't let the ugliness reclaim it and see what kind of world it creates.

Thinking of this, Fangzheng also said something casually.

When Yu Nian heard it, he said with emotion: "Hey, although not all of them are like that, but if you are unlucky and encounter one, you probably won't be in the mood to write."

Fangzheng nodded slightly. The old gentleman from back then left Yizhi Village after that incident, and there was no news from him after that.

I guess I'm desperate for something...

Yu Nian said: "Fortunately, after the appearance of online articles, I saw an opportunity again. When I earned the first payment from online articles, when I paid 200 yuan for full attendance, I decided this was the way. This is my Hobbies, and it is possible to support myself if I work hard, this is enough. Ten years have passed in a flash, and I suddenly let me give up, I am really very difficult..."
