"Hello, please sign for your express delivery."
In the Four Seasons Community in Yan Province, the doorbell of a house rang.
A man with big dark circles under his eyes and yawning opened the door of his house.
After signing for the express, the young courier did not leave immediately, but stared at the man curiously.
"What's up?"
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Tianji Bai, the famous fairy tale writer? I have seen your photo on the Internet..."
"It's me."
The man said with a smile.
He is Tian Jibai, one of the Yan writers who initiated a literary battle with Chu Kuang.
After challenging Chu Kuang last night, Tian Jibai was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. His mind was full of scenes of beating Chu Kuang bloody today, so much so that he even had dark circles under his eyes.
"I didn't expect it was really you! Teacher, could you please sign for me? Just sign on my bag!" the courier said expectantly.
Tianjibai smiled and satisfied the other party.
When he was about to leave, the courier suddenly clenched his fist and said, "Keep up, Mr. Tianji Bai, and defeat Chu Kuang. We Yan people will all support you!"
The sky was white and silent.
It seems that the literary duel between Chu Kuang and the nine famous writers has become known to everyone.
"I promise!"
He nodded confidently: "At least when facing the famous masters of our Yan Province, Chu Kuang has no chance of winning!"
"Of course I must!"
The courier left while cheering himself up.
Tianjibai raised the corners of his mouth slightly and opened the express delivery.
Today is the day when he and Chu Kuang’s new book is released. In the express delivery is Chu Kuang’s new book that he had pre-ordered from the bookstore, as well as the second issue of "Fairy Tale King" specially released in advance by Silver Blue Bookstore.
You are most familiar with your own work today, and now you should take a look at the story written by Chu Kuang.
There was a book with a black cover in the sky. In the fragrance of ink, three large characters were written in a flamboyant style on the cover:
Fairytale town.
And at the bottom right of these three words, a small note was added: This book is also known as "Chu Kuang Fairy Tale".
It turns out that the real title of the book is "Fairy Tale Town".
Tianjibai curled his lips. This was about illustrations and title adjustments. Chu Kuang was using all these fancy tricks but forgot that the most important thing in writing a book was the content.
“Maybe this is why bad movies can produce divine hits?”
If the theory that bad movies can produce great hits is true, then Chu Kuang's fairy tale is probably just second-rate content with first-rate illustrations
If only I could work with that illustrator.
With this thought in his mind, Tianjibai opened Chu Kuang's new book, which was actually titled "Fairy Tale Town".
The first story is "Snow White" which Chu Kuang has already published.
“I have to say Snow White is pretty good.”
Tianjibai said to himself, "But among the short fairy tales collected in this book, the only one that's worth mentioning is "Snow White."
If Chu Kuang was to fight a one-on-one literary duel with me this time, and if he took out a work of the level of "Snow White", it would be really difficult for me to win, but Chu Kuang fired at nine people at the same time this time -
Could he write another nine works of the same level as "Snow White"
This is impossible. Taking into account the creation of nine works at the same time will only completely drain Chu Kuang's energy.
Thinking like this.
Tianjibai looked at the second fairy tale.
The name of this fairy tale is "Cinderella".
Seeing the title, Tianjibai couldn't help but complain:
"Before it was Snow White, this time it became Cinderella. Is Chu Kuang trying to take advantage of his own popularity? Why don't you just call her Black Girl?"
It's not that the sky is white and full of violence.
Normally, Tianjibai would not have such a high hatred towards a writer, and he is not a narrow-minded person.
The principles of Yan people are:
Even if the other party is your rival, you should still engage in literary competition in a friendly atmosphere. This is called making friends through literature.
But this Chu Kuang is too arrogant!
He actually tried to challenge nine people in a literary duel!
This is unacceptable to any of the nine famous fairy tale writers. To use a popular saying:
Feeling offended.
Just as some netizens joked, isn't Chu Kuang saying to the nine masters at the same time, "You all come together"
Who can stand this
What made these masters even more furious was that Chu Kuang was not satisfied with defeating nine people alone, and even openly provoked them in front of the tribe:
"Who else?"
Are the nine of us not enough for you to defeat
This sentence became the last straw that completely ignited Yanren's anger. I believe that not only Yanren, but also Jinshan and Qiqi who had lost to Chu Kuang before should be able to understand Tianjibai's mood at this time.
If it weren't for these reasons, how could Tian Jibai be so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
"It's time for you to pay the price for your arrogance."
Suppressing his personal emotions towards Chu Kuang, Tian Jibai began to read the story called "Cinderella", but there was still a bit of contempt on his face.
Five minutes later.
When Tian Jibai finished reading "Cinderella", the contempt on his face had disappeared completely.
Instead, there is a seriousness and thought.
"Um… "
Without coming to a conclusion directly, Tianjibai started reading the second story. This time the fairy tale was called "Little Red Riding Hood".
"This is… "
When they finished reading the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, Tian Jibai's serious face was filled with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
Pursed her lips.
Tian Jibai opened the third story, which was called "The Emperor's New Clothes". The story slowly unfolded under his solemn eyes.
"Hiss..."
After reading the third story, Tianjibai suddenly took a deep breath, but still opened the next story in silence.
"The ugly duckling..."
The fourth story also ended, but when he saw that the ugly duckling finally turned into a beautiful white swan, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As if sighing.
He was already in a state of confusion, and this rising emotion was rapidly escalating as he opened the fifth story.
"sleeping Beauty… "
When he read to the end of the story, Tianjibai's right hand was turning the pages as if in a slow-motion movie, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.
Sleeping Beauty wakes up.
But a strong sense of unwillingness emerged in Tianjibai's heart, and it was under this trend of unwillingness that he opened the sixth story.
It's called "The Frog Prince".
It’s a cliché name, but Tianjibai didn’t dare to complain about the title, especially when he finished reading the story, his palms began to sweat, so much so that when he turned to the next story, he pressed too hard and left a deep mark on the lower right corner of the page.
The seventh story.
This time the story is called "The Little Mermaid", and the male protagonist is again the familiar prince. However, when Tian Jibai saw the ending, he suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable collapse. I don't know if he was feeling sorry for the mermaid's sacrifice or for other reasons.
Tear!
The force of turning the pages finally exceeded the limit of the paper's endurance. With a crisp sound, the page in the lower left corner was slightly damaged.
His eyes were slightly red.
Tian Jibai almost forced himself to read the eighth story, and as the story unfolded, he felt as if he was in a cold night, with a chill running through his body. In front of him was the little match girl, who was slowly lighting a match.
"The Little Match Girl..."
The paper suddenly became wet. When Tian Jibai realized it, a small part of the paper had been wetted by his tears. A childish voice seemed to ring in his ears again: "Sir, do you want to buy some matches?"
"all right."
Tianjibai muttered to himself, and even he himself did not notice how gentle his tone was at the moment, as if he was gently smoothing out the wrinkles on the pages of a book, his movements were so careful.
finally…
After finishing the last story, Tianjibai suddenly closed the book, his eyes fixed on the three large characters on the cover:
"Fairy Tale Town!"
Finally, his eyes locked on the word "Zhen". Suddenly, a strange thought popped up in his mind. The so-called "Zhen" in the so-called fairy tale town, is it the "Zhen" in the town, or...
The “town” of suppression
