The fate of writers

Chapter 16: Visiting Beiqu Alley to observe the strange behavior of beggars
After Zhou Zhou left, Jiang Ling didn't plan to procrastinate any longer, and he would be able to sleep soundly in the next few days.How to put it, Zhou Jichuan's prompting effect is still there.

On October [-]th, the sky was cloudy, and Zhou Zhou came to press for the manuscript, feeling in a bad mood. Jiang Ling decided to turn the small setback for the protagonist into a big setback.

The last place in the ranking is also admitted to Tongsheng. Gu An can be said to have achieved his ambition at a young age.

Gu An felt that although he was really under pressure, he was able to become a boy student within three years of studying with Bai Xiucai. It was obvious that he was gifted. If he prepared well, he would be a scholar.

Gu An is still serious about studying, and it is true that he is not as hardworking as before.Bai Xiucai could also see it, but he didn't remind Gu An. If he reminded Gu An at this time, he might not be able to listen to it. It's better to wait for Gu An to hit a wall before straightening his mind.

As expected by Bai Xiucai, Gu An failed the ranking.Before Gu An experienced shock and confusion, and was about to go in the direction of paranoia, Bai Xiucai made a move.Bai Xiucai did not continue to hold Gu An to death, but asked Gu An to be a newspaper reader.

Gu An couldn't save his face at first, he just felt that he was losing his status as a scholar.Bai Xiucai sternly scolded: "Uncle Wen Xiang of Zhou Dynasty, who worked among the publishers, also once worked as a newspaper reader. Now that you have not become famous, how dare you ignore the newspaper reader? If you think that you are noble, I am afraid that I, Bai Yu, I’m not qualified to teach you, so why not hire someone else?”

Gu An suddenly woke up, bowed his head to the bottom, and apologized to Bai Xiucai.Thus Gu An's career as a newspaper reader began.The second round is over.

After finishing the first draft, Jiang Ling nodded in satisfaction, then opened the system skillfully, and then revised it.After finishing the refinement, Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief. The system couldn't be more mean, and the style is different every time. It's almost like there are different people commenting on her novel behind the scenes.It is really tormenting every time I watch it, but fortunately she is open-minded and can endure what ordinary people can't bear, which is very human.

After careful inspection and realizing that there was no problem, Jiang Ling turned off the system without hesitation, and then violently stuffed the manuscript into the drawer. She didn't want to spoil "Gu An" any longer.

Jiang Ling blinked several times in succession, but his eyes were still dry.Very well, this is the reminder of the body, the call of nature.

Jiang Ling walked out of the study and asked Xiao Ping to go out together.Speaking of which, since she arrived in Yin County, she was busy settling down in September, and then she was busy working on the novel business, so she had never wandered around.In the entire Yin County, there are only two streets that she is a little familiar with, one is the newspaper office she contributes to, and the other is the Jinxiu cloth shop that her mother just bought.

Jiang Ling carried a purse and walked on the street with great interest, looking left and right, looking at the fox mask and finding it interesting, looking at the sugar painting was a bit greedy, soon Jiang Ling's purse would be empty.

Jiang Ling squeezed her deflated purse. There were still many novel and interesting things waiting for her in front of Dongchang Street, but her purse could no longer support it.Jiang Ling has a habit, or a fault, that when he goes shopping, he must have money in his pocket, and while shopping, he buys some gadgets that he thought were novel and interesting at the time, but he forgets about them when he gets home.

"I remember that Yamen Zhang seems to be patrolling Beiqu Lane today?" Usually, it was Liu Zhi who was maintaining the relationship between people. Jiang Ling was a little uncertain, so she confirmed it with Xiao Ping.

"It's in Beiqu Lane, miss, you don't mean to go to Beiqu Lane to see it?" After all, Xiao Ping had guessed what Jiang Ling was thinking right away since he had followed her since he was a child.

"Don't worry, I have a plan in mind. And the plot of Qingyun Road requires me to go to the teahouse to understand it before I can write it more realistically. I won't go to some remote and secret places. You can keep your heart firmly in your stomach. Here." Jiang Ling tried to persuade Xiao Ping.

"Miss, I think I should tell my wife first, and it would be better to find some familiar partners to go with me." Although Yin County, under the governance of the new county magistrate Zeng Hong, can be said to have a new look, Beiqu Lane after all The lower nine streams gather, where fish and dragons mix together, Xiao Ping still feels uneasy.

"Xiao Ping, what we want to see is the real face of Beiqu Lane. There are so many people who are dressed in different clothes and look wealthy at first glance. What else can we see? We have to change our bodies when we go to Beiqu Alley. Clothes. You have to believe that Zeng Qingtian's reputation is not in vain, and we have greeted Yamen Zhang in advance, isn't it better than disturbing mother? And..." Jiang Ling was articulate, and Xiao Ping was dizzy with his reasoning.

Xiao Ping, who was fooled, followed Jiang Ling foolishly until he returned the clothes, treated the Yamen servant Zhang and his brothers to a drink, and made contact with each other before Xiao Ping vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Although Jiang Ling changed his clothes, after all, in his previous life, the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful, and he had never experienced hardship. Although the environment in this life is harsh, he will be reincarnated, so the clear stupidity in his eyes is particularly eye-catching.As for Xiao Ping, although he had a hard life as a child, after being sold to the Jiang family, his quality of life was completely different.

Just like this, Jiang Ling and Xiao Ping, two young girls with delicate skin and tender flesh, were targeted by a human trafficker with wicked eyebrows and sinister features.

"Boss, superior, do you want to do it?"

"You are the only one who is smart, and you are the only one with sharp eyes. Don't you think you are the only smart person in the world?" A kind-looking fat man slapped Shouhou severely.

"No, no, it's not a first-class one. It's rare to see one, and the one named Zeng does have some tricks. He hasn't opened for a long time, so I was confused for a while. Boss, who are these two people?" Thin Monkey asked, he He's just a low-level thug, not as well-informed as the fat man.

"As soon as the two of you arrived at Beiqu Lane, you first invited Zhang Yamen and others to drink, and Zhang Yamen didn't feel normal, and greeted you with a smile. Are you worthy of Xiao Xiang? Are you worthy of asking? You also Do you deserve to know? Have good eyesight, don't always do stupid things." The fat man pointed his head and hit the thin monkey three times in succession.

The thin monkey said yes again and again, and didn't dare to ask any more questions, and at the same time, he didn't dare to attract the attention of Jiang Ling and Xiaoping.

In this way, Jiang Ling and Xiao Ping escaped countless crises without knowing it.

Walking into Beiqu Alley, Jiang Ling felt the depression and dilapidation that other streets and alleys couldn't compare to. No, no, it can't be described that way.Jiang Ling could feel the vitality buried here.

There are many people in Beiqu Lane, most of them wear bunts and narrow sleeves, their lives are difficult, and when they receive a tael of copper coins, their smiles are so sincere.

At the same time, Jiang Lingyou noticed that the number of people begging in Beiqu Lane seemed a little abnormal, far exceeding the information she found when using the system as Dayan's dedicated encyclopedia.

So Jiang Ling stopped a pair of mother and daughter whose clothes were covered with patches and were sallow and thin, looking at the steamed buns and drooling, took out five copper coins, and asked: "I will ask you to answer, and then I will give you the copper coins, you and I will be Both money and goods. Where did you come from? How did you come to Yin County? What disaster happened to your hometown?"
