Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 653 I met Ye Luzi
When Zhang Zhong read "A Clockwork Girl" for the first time, he could feel a sticky feeling.

This sticky feeling is similar to when you go out early in the morning, surrounded by smog that is only visible for five meters, and you can't see it from a little farther away. Not only that, but you can also smell a strong musty smell all over your body.

Even Zhang Zhong, who has experienced many battles, has seen various themes, various writing techniques, and people with such literary themes, can still feel this way when reading this book. It is conceivable that for ordinary readers For me, this book may not be friendly.

But it doesn't matter, before "The Clockwork Girl" meets you, readers will first see a more viscous novel-alive.

In fact, it is not appropriate to say that "To Live" is sticky, because Zhang Zhong read this book very quickly at the time, and it didn't even take three hours for the first time.

As a mainstream literary novel, "To Live" has a "brisk" rhythm, and there is nothing difficult to read.

This is related to Yu Hua's own writing style.

Some people say that Yu Hua is more similar to Hemingway, because their novels are concise, vivid and unpretentious in language.

A reporter once asked Yu Hua about this question, and Yu Hua made a joke, saying: Probably Hemingway, like me, doesn't know many words.

This is obviously a joke, just like Mo Yan said that he only knows [-] characters.

While waiting for "A Clockwork Girl", readers should see "Alive" first, and after watching "Alive", they may feel that the smog and musty smell in "A Clockwork Girl" are completely acceptable.

"To Live" has only been serialized for two issues in "Zero Zero One", and people have only seen the tip of the iceberg of this book, and most people are still trapped in the whirlpool of hatred for wealth and honor.

After they finished reading the novel, the knives that cut into their hearts might make them forget that Fugui was originally a bastard.

……

On the third day in Marseille, Zhang Zhong's family went to Ive d'Ive, a place that Zhang Zhong proposed to come to.

Because the place where the Count of Monte Cristo was imprisoned was the Chateau d'If on the island of Yves.

But there is no "The Count of Monte Cristo" in this world, and there is no Chateau d'If here, so there are very few tourists here.

Zhang Zhong took his family around the island, but he also found it boring.

The group found a place with a good view on the island, and Xu Yuhan and Pengpeng set up their drawing boards and started sketching.

It's fun, but you can't miss your homework. During this time, as long as you have time, Xu Yuhan will always take Pengpeng to draw.

But this time on the Isle of Yves, it was the first serious sketching for the two of them.

Peng Peng looked at a sailboat in the distance, shook his head and said, "Dad, do you think this sailboat looks like the one that the bearded grandfather gave you last time?"

Zhang Zhong looked in the direction she pointed, not to mention, this sailboat was indeed a bit like the one that Hummels had given him back then.

But Hummels seems to be in his 40s, probably because his beard is a bit long and Westerners age faster, so Peng Peng calls him the bearded grandpa.

"Why don't you draw that sailboat." Zhang Zhong suggested.

But Pengpeng shook his head, "No, if I want to draw it, I can just follow the little painting at home."

Zhang Zhong smiled and shook his head, will this be the same?Painting here, surrounded by islands and water, has a completely different artistic conception.

It's just Pengpeng's own sketching, she can draw whatever she wants.

After staying on Isle of If for half a day, the family got nothing but two paintings.

Pengpeng didn't draw a sailboat, but Xu Yuhan chose it.

As for Pengpeng, after painting for a long time, I painted here and there, and finally the whole painting was crowded with various things.

There are seabirds, people, trees, houses...

When the family left Ive Island, on the way back to the hotel, they met a roadside stall playing games.

The family walked up with great interest.

A table, three bowls, and a ball.

The young man stood behind the table, yelled something, and started moving the ball and bowl.

Zhang Xingjun looked at it once, and said with a smile, "Isn't this the Three Immortals Returning to the Cave?"

Zhang Chong smiled, the old man was right, this is the traditional Chinese trick of Three Immortals Returning to the Cave.But here is a simplified version, because there is only one ball.

Xu Yuhan understood French, and said with a smile, "They are gambling."

The traditional Three Immortals Returning to the Cave is actually a trick performed for the common people, but there are also some people who go astray and use this trick to deceive people.

Xu Yuhan said that they were "gambling money", which was already very euphemistic, but in fact they were "cheating money".

Zhang Zhong looked at the few people standing around him, and guessed that there might be Tuo there.

Sure enough, the man fiddled with it for a while, and a girl smiled and pointed to one of the bowls and said a few words, which probably meant that there were balls in it.

The man performing the trick also said a few words, and then saw the woman take out ten euros and put them on the table.

Seeing the money, the man lifted the bowl with a smile.

But after uncovering it, his face changed, because there was indeed a ball lying inside.

The woman stretched out her hand, and the man took out another ten yuan with a distressed face, and gave the woman 20 yuan.

Seeing this, Zhang Xingjun was also eager to try, and said to Xu Yuhan, "Yuhan, help me translate, I'll play a game with the boss."

When Xu Yuhan heard the old man's words, he quickly advised, "Uncle, this is a lie. That woman is probably also a trustee. If you go, it won't be so easy to guess."

Zhang Xingjun said disdainfully, "Three Immortals Returning to the Cave is our ancestor's craft, this kid can't learn well, let uncle come and teach him a lesson."

Seeing that the old man was so confident, Xu Yuhan also hesitated.

Zhang Zhong said with a smile, "It's okay, it's only ten yuan, let my dad play."

Xu Yuhan nodded, then walked to the table and said a few words to the man in French.

The man nodded, and began to move the bowl and ball when Zhang Xingjun came to him.

After he finished a set, Zhang Xingjun pointed to one of the bowls and said, "That's it."

The young man twitched his eyebrows slightly, and then reached out to turn over the bowl, but Zhang Xingjun said, "Don't move."

Although the young man couldn't understand these three words, he still stopped and looked at Zhang Xingjun blankly.

Zhang Xingjun pointed to the child just now and said, "Come and find out."

Xu Yuhan translated Zhang Xingjun's words. The man looked a little flustered, but he still nodded to the girl.

After turning it over, the ball was inside.

The man had no choice but to take out ten euros.

After playing several more games, the old man guessed correctly.

Seeing that he met a master, the man tidied up the stall and quit.

Zhang Xingjun did not continue to entangle, took the [-] euros he won, and smiled with Zhang Zhong and the others to leave.

However, just as they were about to leave, two people jumped out from among the crowd just now and snatched the handbags from Xu Yuhan and Hu Huifang.
