Big Manga

Chapter 702: : Interlude on the release day

 

    Meng Huo returned to Ninghai in the afternoon before the release of "Weekly Youth", because Li Qin was afraid that he would be too tired and asked him to go home and rest for one night because he would perform on the day of the release.

   This evening, Meng Huo received a call from Alice.

   "Meng Huo, get up early tomorrow morning, and I will pick you up somewhere for a walk."

   She said suddenly on the phone, making Meng Huo very strange: "What time tomorrow morning and where do you go? Don't you need to prepare for the performance?"

   He knew that Alice was preparing him for the show in Ninghai, but listening to her tone, it seemed that it was not about acting.

   "Waiting at the gate of Jiayuan Community at 7:30, don't worry about where you go, just listen to my arrangements."

   Alice answered with a smile, but her attitude seemed a bit tough for some reason, and she didn't even give Meng Huo a chance to continue inquiring. After she hung up the phone, Meng Huo thought that she would be tough once, and was even more curious. Tomorrow is the release date of "|Excellent|Excellent|Small|Speaking|Update|New|Fast|Fast|..|Gossip", she Where do you want to take yourself?

   Suspicious, Meng Huo slept. The next day he arrived at the gate of the community at 7:20 ahead of schedule, but unexpectedly Alice was earlier than him. At this time, the red Porsche had already parked on the side of the road.

   When Meng Huo walked over, the door of the passenger seat opened automatically.

   "Good morning..." He sat in and saw Alice eating bread in the car: "Do you have anything for me?"

   "Yes, I expected you to have no meals, so let's make arrangements first."

   Alice reached out and put a paper bag between them. Meng Huo looked at the paper bag. It contained some delicious bread and desserts, as well as milk. He unceremoniously took out a bag of butter bread.

   "This bread is good, where did you buy it?"

   "A bakery outside my house."

   The two were eating and chatting. It was exactly 7:30 after eating. Alice got out of the car and threw the garbage into the trash can, then returned to the car and drove to the south.

   "This is the road out of Ninghai? Where are we going?" Meng Huo asked strangely.

   "Suburbs..."

   Alice only answered two words.

Today is the day when "Weekly Shonen" was released, and it was also the day when "Hire of Gossi" was launched. Along the way, they passed many bookstores, and they could see the lines outside the bookstores-quite an achievement for ordinary cartoonists. But in the eyes of the two people, they are not optimistic.

   "Your response to the launch of the new manga this time is very bleak..."

   "It seems like this." Meng Huo smiled helplessly. Indeed, there were readers queuing outside the shops they passed by. However, the number of these readers is small, and they appear to be rusty. Looking at it from the road, the scene is very bleak.

   Of course, this is not really bleak. Being able to get out of the shop actually means that there are still many people inside. The number of these readers can already make others envy and envy. But for He Xi, this is a bleak scene that hasn't been seen in a few years.

You know, it’s summer now. The bookstore in Ninghai has been open since half past six. An hour has passed, and it’s the peak period of work and school. At this time, the flow of readers should have reached the maximum. Launch, at this time, it will be crowded outside.

   But now it looks a bit cold, and some bookstores have only two or three people outside, which makes people feel that they may disappear at any time.

   "It seems that pre-investigation can't be trusted."

   Alice said that previous surveys showed that readers' desire to buy "God of Go" is still strong, but the current situation does not seem to be as strong as imagined.

   "But it's hard to say..."

   She quickly denied what she said again. In the comic "God of Go", the reader's desire to buy cannot be compared with other comics. Perhaps most readers will buy it, but after all, it is a niche comics, even if readers want to buy it, they will not be active in long queues early in the morning.

   "You seem to have faith in "Goss Soul"?" Meng Huo looked at Alice's denial, and couldn't help being surprised, and he saw that Alice didn't show the slightest worry because of the condition of the bookstore along the way.

   Alice smiled: "I watched "Soul of Go" yesterday, do you think I have confidence?"

   "..." Meng Huo was taken aback, then recovered, with a smile on his face: "I think there should be."

He didn't mention it again, but was suddenly attracted by something else. Porsche suddenly drove on a cross-sea bridge that could not see the other side. On the other side of the bridge, there were office workers' vehicles driving towards the city. It was too crowded, but here, the bridge deck towards the outskirts of the city was unimpeded.

   It was the endless ocean that captured Menghuo's eyes. The sun shines on the sea, and it seems that people can smell the warm sea water.

   "It's beautiful..." Alice opened the car window and let the sea breeze blow in along the car and the boat. Her long hair was blown up, and a faint golden light was glowing in the sun.

   Meng Huo took a breath. The air was a bit humid, and the sea water smelled of Alice's perfume. He smiled and said, "Did you show me this seascape?"

This is indeed an excellent sight, but in Meng Huo’s memory, his experience in the extreme east is obviously more beautiful. Sitting on a train traveling by the coast, the scenery is shaped by cherry blossoms, the ocean, and the mountains all the way. Obviously more moving than the current scenery.

   "Why, I didn't show you the scenery."

Alice laughed and said that she did not bring Meng Huo here to admire the beautiful scenery. Although the scenery here is good, if you want to appreciate the beautiful scenery, Alice has more good places to go: "After this bridge, our purpose is The ground is coming soon."

   She said, but... the bridge took them ten minutes. After passing the bridge, the scenery in front of you has changed. Although the suburbs of Ninghai are not as dense as the city center, they are still prosperous and lively.

   Alice drove the Porsche and stopped in front of a compound building.

   "Orphanage..."

   Meng Huo looked at the door plaque above the compound with amazement, "Ninghai City Fifth Orphanage", which reads like this. Although it is different from the orphanage in the previous life, the three words "orphanage" are very easy to understand.

   "You want to adopt an orphan?"

   Meng Huo looked at Alice in a daze.

   "No, don't think about it, I'm just showing you here." Alice glared at him, then took out a pair of sunglasses and a hat: "dress me up, don't let them see you clearly."

   "Oh." Meng Huo dressed up suspiciously, and then followed Alice out of the car.

   Alice made a call, and soon, an old lady came out and smiled at her: "Miss Alice, you haven't been here for a long time."

   "Yes, mother-in-law." Alice greeted the woman, and then introduced Meng Huo, "This is a friend of mine. I will show him."

   The woman observed Meng Huo. Although she was strange about his appearance, she nodded: "Welcome, come in!"

   She turned around and wanted to go back, but Alice stopped her again: "Wait, mother-in-law, let's take the present... You come and help me."

   She glanced at Meng Huo, and then opened the rear door. Meng Huo had noticed a lot of things on the back seat long before, and he was not surprised, and helped Alice to take out the present. The two followed the old woman to the orphanage, and they heard noisy noises before they even entered.

   "Don't grab, don't grab, come in the order!", "Be careful, don't tear it, whoever tears it will have no food at noon!"

   There were the screams of adults and the noise of children. When Meng Huo followed Alice in, he saw the children in the yard at once, and then suddenly stopped-"These children..."

The children in the orphanage think completely differently from him. It should be said that these children are different from ordinary children. There are two children with broken hands, a girl with a deformed calf, and several ugly boys—not many normal children. .

"This is the case in all orphanages. Children with good looks and good heads and bodies are generally adopted. The rest are disabled children who have not been adopted. Many of them are directly abandoned by their parents." Alice said in Meng Huo's ear.

   Meng Huo frowned slightly, those parents are so cruel.

   At this time, the children noticed the arrival of the two. The moment they saw Alice, they rushed over: "Aunt Alice!"

Alice was surrounded by the children in an instant. Meng Huo almost laughed at the word'auntie', but his eyes were attracted by the things these children were holding—"Weekly Boys is still today, why is there Is the comic here?"

   He remembered the shouts just now~www.ltnovel.com~ Could it be that the adults in the orphanage were distributing comic magazines to these children? why?

"This is a free comic. Our orphanage has received the support of the cartoonist Mr. He Xi." The old woman heard Meng Huo's words and laughed: "The children love comics, and they have the possibility of higher education. Sex is very low, so we hope to give them one more choice and train them to paint."

   "If they have a skill, even if they are assistants to cartoonists in the future, they can still survive..."

   Meng was taken aback. He looked at the scene in front of him. Alice was distributing cakes. The children around him seemed to have never seen such beautiful cakes before, and they all looked around her eagerly. But Alice first distributed the cakes to the boy holding "Weekly Boy". He has only one hand. If he takes the cakes, she must put down the magazine.

   "..." Meng Huo looked at the boy, found his throat moved, and then turned and ran away holding "Weekly Youth".

"This child is twelve years old this year. Although he has not gone to school, he is very sensible. Since we invited some painters to teach painting, he has been studying very seriously. He is painting very well now, and it will be fine in two years. Go out to help."

   The old woman smiled and said, "I heard that there is a shortage of people who can paint. Phoenix is ​​willing to help these children find jobs as an artist. It would be great if they can learn comics well."

   Meng Huo turned his head to look at Alice, he thought he knew why Alice brought him here. (Want to know more exciting news of "Big Comics"?
