Chapter 18 Preparation
When he arrived at the appointment, Wu Dengke was already waiting for Chen Wen there. Seeing that it was already noon, Chen Wen invited Wu Dengke to the snack shop on the side of the road for lunch.
As the food was served, a funeral team came out from the alley not far away.
While Chen Wen was having a meal, he heard the diners at the table next to him mention the mother of the deceased. However, the man died in battle two years ago, while the man who wore mourning clothes to perform his son and nephew was the man who had sworn brothers. Then there were some words like Yuntian who were so righteous. He didn't hear it very clearly, and he didn't care.
After dinner, Chen Wen and Wu Dengke got up and went back.
Not long after leaving the town, Wu Dengke inexplicably mentioned the family who had been attending the funeral.
The family's surname is Liu, and he is a general. Wu Dengke, who is named and who is under Wu Dengke, said he had never heard of it. Two years ago, the Qing army surrounded Siming Mountain, and Liu Ba died in battle, leaving behind a crying and blind mother. After receiving this news, a friend who had lived in his house had taken the initiative to take on the obligation to support his mother and died until now.
Chen Wen was not a sworn brother yet, which surprised him very much.
Liu called the good friend of the general manager Li Ruixin, a native of Guangning, Liaodong. After the defeat in Shaling, his family fled to the pass. Later, because his father was from Liaodong, he became a small officer in Huang Degong's camp. By the time of Hongguang, he was already a guerrilla figure, and Li Ruixin and his brother also became Huang Degong's personal soldiers and were very trustworthy.
In the first year of Hongguang, the Qing army went south, and Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie's remaining troops Li Chengdong, Wu Shengzhao, Li Benshen and others surrendered. However, Huang Degong, the only remaining towns in Jiangbei, chose to continue to be loyal to Emperor Hongguang.
When the Qing army heard that Emperor Hongguang was hidden in Huang Degong's army and attacked Taiping, Huang Degong died. General Weng Zhiqi threw himself into the water and committed suicide. General Tian Xiong, Ma Degong and others showed Emperor Hongguang to the Qing army. At that time, Li Ruixin's father died in a fight. His brother, him and his personal soldiers wanted to steal Huang Degong's body back, but his brother and everyone died, and only he was seriously injured and broke out of the siege. The widowed mother, sister-in-law and young sister in his family were all missing in the chaos. It seems that he had suffered misfortune.
Afterwards, this man failed to find his widowed mother and others, so he wandered around the world and never followed any Ming army. A few years ago, he met General Liu, who was once in Huang Degong's army on the road, and came to Siming Mountain. Chen Wen already knew what happened later.
"What kind of business does he usually do?"
"I'm hunting. I heard that sometimes I went out to the mountains to kill a few green camp soldiers to get some rewards. This man was more jealous than the top. I heard that even Liu Dadao wanted to recruit him was pushed back."
I live by killing the Green Camp soldiers and leading the rewards. Is it necessary to live so hard?
Chen Wen thought for a while and asked, "I heard from Brother Sun that Brother Wu is extremely brave. I don't know what this person compares to you?"
But what Chen Wen didn't expect was that Wu Dengke whined for a long time before he spoke up. "He is good at riding and shooting, and he is good at infantry fighting. Just five or five."
Come on, you, I also said that we are playing League of Legends and Faker at the peak. The question is who believes it.
Chen Wen thought about it and said that a guy who can make Wu Dengke highly regarded people like Wu Dengke have to admit that he must have two tricks, and he may not be able to compete with the two.
The most important thing is that after his friend died in his country, this person took the initiative to support his mother, and was also considered a filial and righteous person. It was a good goal to come, but he had to think about how to start.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Chen Wen and Wu Dengke parted. However, when he was separated, Chen Wen asked Wu Dengke to help him release the news, saying that he would talk about the ancient times at the threshing ground in the south of the village that he passed by tomorrow after dinner.
Hearing this request, Wu Dengke seemed to have received so much face. He patted his chest and even tried to ensure that he would not disappoint Chen Wen.
When he returned to the Sun family, Chen Wen suddenly remembered that his mobile phone was originally intended to be used as an inkstone, but now it was a waste of money. After putting aside his random thoughts, he began to write the manuscript he had thought of on the way behind closed doors.
It is said that everything is difficult to start. The first show tomorrow night needs to be a good start, and it cannot make people feel that they are the first storyteller. After all, in ancient times, there was no title of performing artist. Storyteller is called Xianer, and acts are called actors, and they are all despised by others.
In this era, people who are engaged in similar professions probably would not have thought that their disciples would become dazzling stars in hundreds of years. This is the inevitable product of the civilian era and the peaceful era, because people need idols.
Since this is the case, the first article must show its position and show the difference between itself and the literary and artistic workers of this era. Therefore, the content of the first article can be determined.
Chen Wen's quick writing quickly attracted the attention of Sun Ming, who was in the same room. After a while, the little guy came over and watched Chen Wen constantly editing and finalizing the manuscripts. Soon, he was completely attracted by the story written by Chen Wen, so that when his brother came back, he had not finished half of his homework.
Facing Sun Yu, whose anger was about to be full, Chen Wen had to show him his manuscript. Soon, Sun Yu was like his younger brother, so when the meal was ready, Yi Shi came to urge him to have a meal and was perfunctory and used words like him for a while. However, Yi Shi did not dare to exaggerate his husband, because it was a husband-in-law and a forbidden area that a virtuous wife could not touch in this era.
After Sun Yu finished reading the pile of drafts that Chen Wen had driven out for a whole afternoon, he looked at his younger brother who was still waiting for him to have a meal and suddenly lost his temper. He only said that he would not read Chen Wen's manuscripts if he didn't finish his homework next time, nor would Chen Wen read it for his younger brother.
At night, Chen Wen, who was not convenient to use fuel to boil the lamp, took time to talk to Sun Yu about the domestic and international situation.
To recruit talents, can’t you just ask for an appointment? It’s too rough; you can’t just say it directly as soon as you meet. Hello, do you know Amway? This is the 17th century and will be regarded as finding missing people. It’s great to talk about the current situation. You can show your own position and ability, and you can also explain your own opinions to attract similar people, thereby increasing others’ expectations for you.
The next morning, Chen Wen got up first under the surprised gaze of the Sun family. Suddenly, he had something to do and his mental state seemed very good. After getting up, he ran around and rushed back to have breakfast. After breakfast was served, he locked himself in the room and began to continue writing according to his memory.
Today's task is heavy. I have to sort out yesterday's draft in the morning, but I have to memorize the final draft in the afternoon, and I also have to do some revisions.
Chapter completed!
