I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 371 Answers
"Father, where did Grandma Milia go last night, why didn't I come back before I went to bed."

"In the early morning, I seemed to hear the sound of the door opening."

Walking on the road in the village, Gerrit changed the subject and asked his father Hoss.

Hoss looked at Gerrit, still silent.

At this moment,
Suddenly there was a quarrel,

Both Gerrit and Hoss turned their heads to look one after another.

"...Varina, my mother, why do you keep going to the cemetery? I, a living child, can't compare to my dead brother?"

"I just went to see your brother Walker."

"But you were there only yesterday."

It's outside Grandma Varina's house,
Varinna was about to go out with an old basket.

Varinna's son, who was busy with other things, seemed to complain about this.

"...I'm just going to take a look."

"But you don't have to visit him every one or two days. I'm also your child. Maybe you can pay more attention to me as a living person."

"There are still many things to do at home, but you always go to the cemetery. Does my brother Walker really make you so reluctant?"

"Sorry, York."

Varinna held the basket, was silent for a while, and said,

He just stood there, didn't leave, and didn't go back to the house.

Over there, York, who is busy with his work and repairing a farm tool,

Looking up at his mother's appearance, he sighed,
"Okay, you go, but maybe you can come back earlier, even if you have a lot to say to my brother, maybe you can talk about it tomorrow.

Anyway, you will probably go again tomorrow. "

There was still some complaint in York's words.

Valina stood where she was, silent for a while,

"Thank you."

After saying thank you to her child, Varinna still carried the basket and walked towards the village cemetery.

"Grandma Valina."

"Well, little Gerrit."

On the road, I met Gerrit and Hoss, and greeted the little Gerrit,

Valina smiled a little.

"Did Grandma Varina visit Uncle Walker again?"

Gerrit saw black bread in the basket Varina was carrying.

"Well. Then I'll leave first."

Valina nodded and walked away.

Gerrit raised his head and looked at Varina who was walking away, with doubts in his eyes.

……

"...you're back, get ready for dinner, my little Gretel."

"Hoss, come over here and help me make dinner."

Gerrit and his father Hoss went back into the house,
Grandma Milia is still busy with dinner in the house,

Father Hoss came to help, and Gerrit sat by the door, still thinking about his stomach full of questions.

He was a thinking boy,

Just like when his father was a child, his mind was full of unconstrained ideas,

Many of Howth's ideas have been obliterated by hard work and life,

Gerrit, who was sent to school by Hoss, originally thought he would have fewer questions, but he had more and more questions.

"...my little Gretel, what are you thinking?"

"Grandma Milia."

At this time, Milia came over from the house and came to Gerrit's side,
Little Gerrit looked back. His father seemed to be still busy in the kitchen, and he had Grandma Milia.

"I'm thinking about something I can't figure out."

"What? Tell grandma?"

"I don't understand why the church has a law, but it doesn't let more people know until someone violates it."

"I don't understand why God's will allows women to stay at home while men work outside. The church says this is a division of labor between men and women, but what should I do if only women are left in the family."

"If it's just a division of labor between men and women, why can't it be reversed...why..."

Gerrit couldn't figure it out.

"These grandmas don't know either. Maybe that's why your father Hoss asked you to study. At least, you know the laws of the church. When you are about to offend him, you can know what kind of punishment you should receive."

"Is that so?"

Gerrit listened to Grandma Milia's words, but seemed to think of something, thinking in his eyes.

"Um……"

"Grandma Milia, can I ask you something?"

"of course."

"Do you know Grandma Varina's child, the dead Uncle Walker?"

Gerrit asked Milia.

"Of course I know, but why are you asking this?"

"I feel that knowing this matter seems to make me understand many questions."

"That's it."

Milia paused, then squatted down again, and said to Gerrit,
"Then what do you want to ask?"

"How did Uncle Walker die? Grandma Valina seems to have a strange attitude towards Uncle Walker. She always visits him, and I have met him many times."

"Hmm...it seems a little strange. Whether it's normal or holidays, Varinna always likes to go there, and there seems to be something she can't let go of."

"Valina's child, Walker, died of illness."

Gerrit first got the same answer from Grandma Milia's mouth as the previous father Hoss said,

But under Gerrit's gaze, Grandma Milia explained the matter in more detail.

"It was when Walker was young, and he suddenly fell ill at night. Varina and Burton rushed Walker to the doctor in the town.

But the doctor couldn't help him.Then I took him back to the village, went to find Gus, and wanted to pray for God's favor.

Gus said Walker was attacked by a demon.

In the end, Walker died from the attack of demons, and died of illness like this. "

Grandma Milia's words did not answer Gerrit's doubts.

"Grandma Milia, do you have a more detailed process? Gus, is it Grandpa Gus, before Uncle Burton, the devout people in the village?"

"Yes. I don't know the more detailed process...but."

Milia looked at little Gretel, hesitated for a moment, and said aloud,
"However, in fact, there is another theory circulating in some people's mouths. I don't know if it can answer your question, little Gerrit."

"Little Gerrit, you are a child who has learned a lot of knowledge in school, maybe you can think of the answers to these questions."

Maybe it was because he was afraid of misleading little Gerrit,
Milia hesitated, and told Gerrit another statement.

"Another theory is that, late that night, after Walker fell ill, Varina and Burton sent him to the doctor. The doctor said that he needed three silver coins to treat Walker.

Varina and Burton took Walker back to the village and went to Gus, hoping that God would protect Walker and get through the disease.

But Gus said that because of his impiety to the Lord, Walker was invaded by demons and became a demon...so in the end, Walker died because of his impiety to the Lord. "

Listening to another statement from Milia's mouth,
Gerrit seems to understand, and seems to have more doubts,
"They couldn't spend three silver coins to treat Walker, so they brought Walker back to the village? But, didn't Burton and Aunt Varina's family live happily ever after?

Father can give me ten silver coins to go to school, can't Burton and Aunt Varina give three silver coins? "

The Burton and Valina family had always been relatively well off in the village.

It was said in the village before that Burton and Varinna's family was blessed by God.

The family has more land than others, but they can always plant all the food before the planting season is over,

And there is a pretty good harvest every year. Under the grace of God, Burton has other time to do other work and get extra harvest.

So Gerrit was puzzled,
"...Also, why did Grandpa Gus say that Walker was invaded by demons? Was it really invaded by demons? What was that like?"

"Also... how did you die because of your ungodliness to the Lord...was it punished by the Lord?"

Gerrit was full of doubts,

Milia looked puzzled at Gerrit, hesitated, not knowing what to say,
In the end, he was just a little silent, stroking Gerrit's hair,

Then she gave an answer that she was not sure about,

"Probably, like your grandfather Medioc?"

Gerrit listened, calmed down, and looked at his grandmother, Milia,

Turning his head again, looking outside the house,
Then he sat by the door, frowning tightly, thinking hard.

Milia looked at Gerrit who was thinking hard here, and walked away without disturbing him.

"Then think about it slowly, my little Gretel, remember to think about these things clearly, and tell grandma too."

"Um……"

Gerrit sat by the door and continued to think.

then,

Until sunset in the evening, in the house, Grandma Milia and Father Hoss had already prepared dinner.

Gerrit didn't even get up.

He doesn't understand,
The doctor said that three silver coins are needed to treat Walker,

How Burton and Aunt Varina brought Walker back to the village,
Then Grandpa Gus said that Walker was invaded by demons because of his impiety.

Was the doctor able to treat the invasion of demons before that?Or is it possible to make Walker religious?
Walker died because of ungodliness, how did he die? Is it God's punishment?

Grandfather Medioc also died of impiety to God,

But he seemed to be condemned as a sinner because he offended the knights of the church.

That's probably... Medioc didn't die because of divine punishment.

He was killed by a knight...

Gerrit thought profanely,

Will Walker die like this?

"...Little Gerrit, have you come back from school? Did you learn anything from school today? Is it the law of the church, or some imaginative story?"

While little Gerrit was sitting at the door thinking hard,
On the village road outside the door, there was a village farmer who had just returned from the farm with his child.

He laughed, and said to little Gerrit, as if telling a joke.

Little Gerrit looked up at the farmer and the boy,

The farmer looked at Gerrit with a smile on his face. The child was lowering his head, concentrating on playing with the stones and weeds on the road with his feet.

The residents of the village did not agree with his father Hoss sending him to the school in the town.

Especially when they knew that Hoss had spent half of his life's savings, only for Gerrit to learn some useless things,
Perhaps, behind his back, he was talking about the stupidity of Hoth and Gerrit.

"Yes, I just came back from school. I learned about mathematics today..."

Gerrit answered seriously.

"Is that so, those useless numbers?"

The man was even happier, and said to Gerrit with a smile.

Gerrit looked at the man without retorting.

"...Huos is really a person who has been blessed and favored by God. Like us, we don't have so much money to waste on this matter."

The man also said with a smile.

It's not that Gerrit didn't understand, but he didn't speak.

The man said a few words and left.

But Gerrit looked at the figure of the man walking away, and the doubts in his eyes were relieved a little,
Then there were more doubts.

"Is it because you can't bear it...Is it because you can't bear three silver coins? Maybe Burton and Aunt Varina have three silver coins, but they don't want to part with them."

"So...they brought Walker back."

"But, Uncle Burton is the most devout person in the village. How could this be?"

"Why did Grandpa Gus say that Walker was invaded by demons? Is the doctor wrong, or Grandpa Gus wrong?"

There were more doubts in Gerrit's heart, and there was also something called doubt.

Perhaps, some things are not necessarily right.

Just like the knowledge he learned in school, after calculating it for his father Hoss,

Father can't use it.

Is it because the knowledge in the school is wrong, or there is something wrong.

……

Great Britain, in the dormitory.

Even after watching it a second time.

Seeing the development of the plot of this great chapter, Xi Yuan's roommate still felt the emotions suppressed and accumulated in the bottom of his heart.

From the reader's point of view, Gerrit's question seems to be well answered,
But for little Gerrit, it was a difficult question to understand.

"Because that Gus is an old bastard, and he is not a good thing. If there are gods in this world, maybe they should be struck to death by the thunder of the gods!"

The roommate looked at it very seriously, and the emotional substitution was very thorough,
Even though he was the only one in the dormitory, he couldn't help cursing angrily while reading the plot in the book.

"Hurry up and understand these things, little Gerrit, you are the protagonist of a great chapter, you are great!"

This is the second time I've watched it, and I've obviously seen the rest of the plot, but now I'm immersed in the story, but I seem to have forgotten it again.

Emotions rose and fell with the story, and the roommate continued to watch.

And on the other side,
Xi Yuan took "Ordinary and Great" to the cafeteria,

Walking on the side of the road in the university, thinking about the fascinated appearance of my roommate reading just now,

I couldn't help but opened "The Ordinary and the Great" on the way, and read it from the beginning for the second time.
At the beginning, because I had already read it once, I read it a little casually,
It's just that with the development of the plot, the more you watch it, the more fascinated you become.
Then the footsteps moving slowly became slower and slower,
In the end, I didn’t even go to the cafeteria, so I sat down by the flower bed on the side of the road,

Then I was even more immersed in the story, unable to extricate myself,

Until my stomach finally couldn't help but growl,

Only then did Xi Yuan suddenly recover from the story in the book.

"...Hey, my friend, what do you think is the name of this book?"

Suddenly there was a sound beside him, and Xi Yuan realized that there was a young man squatting next to him,

His eyes were on the "Ordinary and Great" in his hand,

I don't know how long I've been squatting next to him.

"Ordinary and Great"

"Ordinary and great? It's such a good name, and it's also a good book. I was fascinated by it. I'm really sorry. I couldn't help but take a few glances when I saw you reading this excellent work here, and then I couldn’t help but watch it together.”

"Little Huss is the protagonist of this work, and his story is really uncomfortable."

said the man quickly.

Xi Yuan came back to his senses and laughed,
"Yes, but there are two chapters in this book, and Little Hoss is the protagonist of the ordinary chapter,"

"Then the remaining chapters are great chapters, cool! I'm already looking forward to the story of the great chapter!"

"By the way, friend, can this book be found in that bookstore outside? If possible, I want to buy a copy right now."

"Yes, I bought this book from there."

"Then I'll leave first, see you next time."

After getting an affirmative answer, the man couldn't wait to stand up and quickly walked towards the bookstore outside the school.

Seeing the anxious look of this man, Xi Yuan couldn't help but smile,
He can be regarded as adding a new reader for this writer, no, maybe more than one,
He also reposted the press release.

However, this book is worth it. Such a good work should be read by more readers.

If possible, Xi Yuan even wants to recommend this book to everyone he knows.

Looking back at the "Ordinary and Great" spread out in his hand, Xi Yuan hesitated,

"Forget it, let's go to the cafeteria and have a look."

then,

Xi Yuan arrived at the cafeteria, after buying food,

Let the lunch cool down.
