Chapter 280 Looking for someone (22 please subscribe)

PS: The two chapters are combined into one.

Song Wen has a habit of buying the latest issue of comic magazines every week, "Alloy Club", "Da Tang Fantasy Night", "Fist of Fury", "Comic Rabbit"...

These are the best comic magazines in China at the moment. As a cartoonist, Song Wen must maintain inspiration and a keen sense of market trends. Reading magazine comics is the easiest way.

There are two main modes of manga serialization, one is based on network serialization, supplemented by magazines, and the other is based on magazine serialization, supplemented by the Internet.

Generally speaking, the second mode is more difficult, because the cost of magazine serialization is higher, and the publisher must strictly control the serialized comics in order to control profits, so the quality of comics that can be serialized in magazines is basically guaranteed.Serialization is a long process. If the standard drops during the process, it will immediately usher in the fate of cutting in half. This forces comic authors to maintain high pressure and online standards at all times.

Song Wen's "Lampburner 1" is being made into an animation, and "Lampburner 2" is currently being serialized, and it has come to an end. She began to conceive the plot of "Lampburner 3".

The first work was very successful, so it was picked up by Pujiang Film Studio, but "Lantern 2" has reached a higher level, with higher popularity and better response. Not only is it producing animation, but also releasing a booklet .

"I have to treat Zhang Tan to dinner when I find time, thank him for helping me think about the plot." Song Wen thought while running in the morning. The plot of "Lantern Burner 2" was conceived by her and Zhang Tan, most of the creative ideas praised by readers came from Zhang Tan.

As usual, she maintains the habit of running in the morning every day.After the morning run, I stopped by to buy breakfast, and when I walked home, I finished my breakfast, took a shower, and started the day's work.

She is an independent cartoonist, one person is a studio, keeping the rhythm of one update a week.

"Boss, are there any new comics?" After running in the morning as usual, he returned from the finish line, passed by the newsstand, and asked the boss who had just opened the door and was sorting books.

"The new "Da Tang Fantasy Night", do you want it?" the boss asked.

"Here's a copy."

"Three dollars."

After getting "Da Tang Magic Night", Song Wen walked back and flipped through the magazines. The covers were still "Suppressing Demon Tower" and "Flowers Dreaming of the World".

These two serialized comics are the main works of "Da Tang Fantasy Night", they are very popular, and Song Wen is also following them.

She glanced at the catalog to see if there were any new serials.

"Huh? There are three new comics serialized, "Number One Under Heaven", "The Prince", and "Coco"..."

Song Wen didn't read it right away, but first finished "Suppressing the Devil's Tower" and "Flowers Dreaming of the World", then had breakfast, returned home, took a shower, sat in the study, and then started to read the three new serial comics.

The painting style of "No. [-] in the World" is very sharp, which fits its name. "Flowers Dreaming of the World" is very cute, this is a love story comic, and "Coco" is rich in ancient style, with bright and bold colors.

Song Wen read "Coco" first, and quickly turned to the homepage to check the author. The painting style, rhythm and story are obviously not like a novice.

"Little Red Horse Comics Studio?" Song Wen had never heard of it, but since it is a work of the studio, it must not be bad.

10 minute later.

"Why is it gone??? It went to the underworld!" Song Wen was immersed in the plot, but just after watching it fascinated, she realized that it was gone!

There are many comic lovers like Song Wen on this day, and "Coco" has attracted everyone with its unique style of painting and plot.

In the evening, Huangjia Village.

Aunt Huang's house, Zhang Tan is having dinner at her house tonight, and Huang Berry is also there.

"Not in good spirits?" Huang Berry asked.

"Great."

"Fart, look at you, it's as if Frost has slapped you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the three people who were eating looked at her, and Aunt Huang said, "Can you be more gentle as a girl? Everyone is eating! You can learn from Zhang Tan."

Huang Berry murmured softly: "The child of someone else's family."

"What did you say?"

"I said Zhang Tan is so handsome."

"..."

"Is the air conditioner turned on? It's a bit hot. Mom, Zhang Tan is sweating. Turn off the air conditioner. The house is quite warm."

"Is Zhang Tan going to turn off the air conditioner?"

"Shut it up, Aunt Huang."

Aunt Huang went to turn off the air conditioner, and Zhang Tan wiped his forehead. He did sweat during the meal, and it was a bit stuffy. He was young, at the age of burning coals.

After dinner, Zhang Tan sat for a while, played two games of chess with Huang Berry, lost 200 yuan, left with Aunt Huang, and went back to Little Red Horse Academy together.

Huang Berry glanced at the kitchen, then got up and walked: "I'll go too, I'll go to see that naughty dude Liuliu."

Uncle Huang shouted behind him: "Berry, don't go, come and help wash the dishes."

Huang Berry pretended not to hear, and closed the door behind her.

Aunt Huang said, "Give back the money to Zhang Tan! You are so kind."

Huang Berry said confidently: "Why am I embarrassed? I made money by my skills."

Aunt Huang sneered: "... No wonder you are single until now, straight girl of steel."

Huang Berry said: "Zhang Tan said that I am quite plump, this figure is very attractive to men, isn't it Zhang Tan?"

"Cough cough cough~~~" Zhang Tan almost choked on his own saliva, this Huang Berry spoke too toughly, he did say it, but when he said it to his parents, how embarrassing, isn't she embarrassed?

"Aunt Huang, I think there is something else to do, you go back first, I'll do some shopping, and I'll go back to the school later." Zhang Tan said.

"Go, go back early, it's cold outside." Aunt Huang urged, taking Huang Berry with her.

Huang Berry kept looking back, thinking that Zhang Tan might be going on a tryst with a girl.There is no way, I have known Zhang Tan for more than 20 years, and the impression he left on her is too deep, it is difficult to reverse it all at once.

"Don't look, even Zhang Tan can't stand you."

"The average man really can't stand me."

Aunt Huang rolled up her sleeves angrily, wanting to teach her a lesson.

Huang Berry laughed loudly, and rushed into the tea room in the alley next to it. It was very popular and warm inside.

"Aren't you going to see Liuliu?" Aunt Huang asked.

"That naughty boy Liuliu, what's there to see. You can go, Mr. Gardener. I see Xiaolan is here. I'll meet them for tea and chat."

……

Zhang Tan put on a red scarf, wore a coat, and walked in the deep and quiet alley.Lights were on in the houses on both sides, and occasionally someone’s voice could be heard through the cracks in the doors and windows, the dog barked in the yard, and the cat came out leisurely from the shadow of the alley...

Unknowingly, he walked downstairs to a small four-story building. The walls were covered with creepers. The windows on the first floor were lit, the second floor was lit, and the third floor was also lit.The sound of the news broadcast came from the windows on the first floor, human voices came from the second floor, and the sound of swords clashing in TV dramas came from the third floor.

Only the windows on the fourth floor were pitch black.

Zhang Tan just glanced at it and didn't stop walking. He went to a nearby convenience store and bought a pack of batteries. The remote control of the air conditioner at home was out of power, and he couldn't survive the night without turning on the air conditioner.

-

In a remote mountain village in Sichuan, at around seven o'clock in the evening, this small mountain village in the depression was lit up with lights. Compared with the boundless and dark surrounding mountains, it seemed that it would be swallowed up at any time.

These lights are crowded together, more like warming each other, keeping them alive in the cold wind.

Go north along the center of the lights, pass a stone arch bridge, and then walk about 500 meters along the dry rice field, and you will come to a red brick house with only one floor.

The red brick house was a work in progress, not even a work in progress.In rural areas, people usually build small three-story buildings with freshly painted interiors and porcelain panels pasted on red bricks on the exterior walls.It's not as good as the buildings in the city, but it's still considered a well-off family. The family lives in it and enjoys it happily.

But the foundation of this small house was only laid and the first floor was repaired. Before the planned second and third floors were built, the man in the family passed away, leaving this "unfinished building" and a pile of people in the yard. Plan sand and red bricks for building a house.

It has been several years, and the red bricks are neatly stacked, and canvas is pressed on the sand to prevent it from being blown away by the wind and eroded by water.The appearance of these principles is clear, as if someone will use them at dawn tomorrow.

"Tanwei Building" is located on a small hill, backed by mountains and forests, with continuous paddy fields in front, but it is winter, the paddy fields are empty and lonely, and unknown small animals neigh from time to time in the dark night.

365 days a year, most of the time in the unfinished building is always dark, as if no one lives there, but today, the place is brightly lit, and laughter can be heard from time to time.

"Mom~~ Xiaobai is back, I want to go and play with her." On the left hand side of the unfinished building, on another small hill across two paddy fields, a three-story small building that is most common in rural areas was built.

A solid-looking little boy stood at the door and looked towards the unfinished building. The evening wind blew in his face and made him shiver a few times, but it also brought the laughter and voice of a little girl, which made him reluctant to go back. Home, just want to run outside.

A woman came out and called him into the house: "I'll go find Xiaobai tomorrow. He wants to talk to grandma, so I don't have time to talk to you. Dunzi, come in, you have a runny nose!!"

In the unfinished building at the moment, Xiaobai is nestling in grandma's arms, chattering about what he has seen and heard this year.

Grandma's hair is all white, with a kind smile on her face, holding her in her arms, rubbing her watermelon head from time to time.

Whenever this happens, Xiaobai will squint his eyes and show a look of enjoyment.

There are many wrinkles on her face, showing that she has experienced a lot in her life, but at this moment, listening to Xiaobai chattering about the outside world, she no longer understands many things.

Ma Lanhua sat aside and listened with a smile, interjecting from time to time.

A brazier was burning in the living room, and the light from the fire illuminated everyone's faces, making them glow red.

After eating, we are chatting.

There is no entertainment at night in the countryside. After dinner, I either rush out the door, or watch TV at home, and turn off the lights at eight or nine to go to sleep.

"Xiaobai, where did you buy grandma?" Ma Lanhua said.

"Give it to grandma~~"

I gave it a long time ago, Xiaobai bought new clothes and a new hat for grandma.Of course, she paid for it, and my aunt paid for it.

Grandma once again thanked Ma Lanhua for taking care of Xiaobai. Speaking of which, she is not related to Ma Lanhua's family, but they are of the same family in the same village.

Ma Lanhua said: "Xiaobai bought these with her own money, and she is a great chatter."

Xiaobai proudly raised her chin, and Balabala said that she was both filming and singing.

"Boss Zhang asked, Xiaobai, come back and chat with us before filming. You are so good, you must come, you played the doll well."

Grandma listened with a smile. She had heard Xiaobai talk about that Boss Zhang a long time ago, and Xiaobai always mentioned it inside and outside the words.

While talking, Xiaobai ran to the room, and soon came out holding a fish maw glass bottle, which was a bit heavy, and it was full of candied fruit.

"Grandma eats one." She pinched one and fed it to grandma.

Grandma let her eat it by herself. Her teeth were falling out badly, and she couldn't eat candied fruit. It was sticky and too sweet.

Xiaobai's face was bulging, and she was very disappointed. She specially brought some food for grandma, but she didn't expect grandma to eat it.

"Xiaobai eats by himself."

Ma Lanhua smiled and said: "Xiaobai, you melon, let me tell you. Grandma can't eat it, so you insist on buying it. It's a good time to chatter. You can eat it by yourself. You bastard is secretly laughing."

Xiaobai was furious: "Auntie, you are such a bad fart~~"

Ma Lanhua: "With grandma, you dare to scold me, don't you?"

"Then why are you scolding me?"

Ma Lanhua said to grandma: "Look, Xiaobai is very fierce, no one will dare to provoke her, don't worry."

"Hmph! I'm not fierce, I'm grandma's good baby."

"A good baby will often scold people?"

"I don't swear, I never swear."

"You're still fighting."

"Shovel... Where is it, there is nothing, aunt, are you thinking wrong?"

She stared at her aunt hard, as if as long as her aunt dared to continue to speak ill of her, she would fight.

Ma Lanhua saved some face for the children, and moved to other topics. When talking about her son's marriage, grandma's face was full of relief. Congratulations to her for becoming a grandma too.

……

Xiaobai was a little sleepy, and fell asleep in grandma's arms. Grandma wanted to carry her back to the bed, but she couldn't hold her and straighten her waist. Malanhua rushed to help and sent Xiaobai to the bed.

The sleepy Xiaobai grabbed Malanhua's clothes and told grandma to sleep together.

"Grandma will be here later, why don't you go to sleep first." Ma Lanhua said, went out of the room, went to the living room, picked up the tongs, turned over the firewood in the brazier, and the flame became more active.

Sparks splashed like fireworks, the two were silent for a moment, and Ma Lanhua said, "We still haven't found that person."

Grandma's eyes looked at the jumping activity, cloudy and difficult to distinguish.

"Didn't find it?"

"I only know that she lived there for a long time, and she has very few friends, and there are very few people who can inquire about it, so I still haven't found the man."

After a long time, grandma said in a slightly warm voice: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Don't say such outrageous things, Xiaobai is my niece."

After sitting for a while, Ma Lanhua left with a flashlight.

"Don't send it off, lock the door and go to bed early." Ma Lanhua said.

"be careful on the road."

"You know how to chat."

Grandma stood on the hill, watching the light of the Malan flower fade away until it disappeared. She went back to the living room and put the brazier in the yard, watered it out, then turned off the lights in the yard, closed the gate, and went back to the garden. in the bedroom.

She stood by the bed and looked at Xiao Bai who was sleeping with a red face, and her rough right hand lovingly stroked her little face, laughing silently.

"Grandma, you are so cold."

As soon as grandma went to bed, Xiao Bai squeezed into her arms.Grandma was so cold that she woke up Xiaobai.

"It will be warm after a while, so don't stand next to it."

Xiaobai didn't listen, but hugged grandma tightly, and said with a smile: "Auntie tricked me into being a warm baby, it's so hot, grandma, let me warm you up."
