Dimensional Bookstore
Chapter 66 Dream Weaver (1)
Lu Miaomiao walked out of the supermarket in embarrassment holding a paper bag filled with vegetables. Her ponytail had long since unraveled, and her clothes were wrinkled like dried pickles. She didn't look like she had returned from shopping for groceries, but as if she had just returned from Syria.
She took a deep breath of the fresh air outside, and then she felt like she was alive. Every time there is a Friday vegetable special, those aunts are particularly cruel and scary. Fortunately, after so many years of experience, she is no longer the helpless little girl she was before.
Suffering is the best teacher.
She walked slowly to the bus stop and waited for the bus home. The setting sun gilded the building opposite with a layer of gold, and a GG was playing on the huge GG screen.
"Hey, isn't this a promotional video for the recently popular dreamland "The Journey to Wonderland"?" someone around him exclaimed.
"Ah ah ah, it's His Highness Tiange!! So handsome, so handsome!" A girl held her face in her hands and looked at the handsome and elegant man on the screen and said infatuatedly.
Lu Miaomiao looked long and hard at the GG screen, and did not change her gaze until the promotional video was over.
"Hello, young lady, can I take you for a few minutes?" A young girl wearing a T-shirt surrounding "The Journey to Wonderland" proactively approached her and said, "Can you cooperate with me in conducting a market survey?"
The huge "Surely Immortal Path" logo on the T-shirt was extremely dazzling. Lu Miaomiao's eyes were slightly cold. Just when she was about to refuse, she saw the oil and sweat on the girl's face. After all, she softened her heart: "Okay, you ask Bar."
"Excuse me, what is your occupation?"
Lu Miaomiao paused and pursed her lips, "...Dream Weaver..."
"Ah? So you are a dream weaver?" The girl looked at her with admiration, "That's amazing!"
"...Assistant." Lu Miaomiao carefully hid the embarrassment in her eyes and repeated: "Assistant to Dream Weaver."
Now 30 years old, he has no house, no car, and can’t even afford food. He doesn’t have a representative work, Dream Weaver Assistant.
What is Dream Weaver?
As the name suggests, he is the one who weaves dreams.
The dream weaver uses the pen in his hand to communicate with the intangible things, giving the intangible things shapes and thoughts, and based on the intangible things, he builds a majestic and magnificent world that is as wonderful and magnificent as a dream. When readers read the novels written by Dream Weaver, they will fall into a dream and immerse themselves in the joys and sorrows of this huge world.
Dream Weaver does not care about his origin or age, only his talent. Lu Miaomiao once thought she was talented, but this cruel world slapped her hard.
The girl was obviously a little embarrassed. She quickly said a few words, and then asked: "I just saw that you have been watching the promotional video of "Shu Ran Xian Tu". Are you also a fan of "Shu Ran Xian Tu"?"
Lu Miaomiao almost laughed. She held back the huge indignation and hatred in her heart and said coldly: "I'm not a fan. I just pay attention."
"Then can you give a professional evaluation of "The Journey to Wonderland" from the perspective of a Dream Weaver assistant?"
"Thief." Lu Miaomiao ignored the surprised looks of others and girls and shouted loudly: "A thief who steals other people's hard work and plagiarizes other people's inspiration and creativity!"
The originally friendly girl's expression immediately turned ferocious, "You must be responsible for what you say!" The girl said sternly: "Do you know who the author of "The Path to Immortality" is? That's the famous Teacher Zhong Mengfu! You will be held legally responsible for such casual slander!" Passers-by also pointed at Lu Miaomiao, and even fans of "The Journey to Wonderland" shouted and cursed at Lu Miaomiao.
Lu Miaomiao hugged the vegetables in her hands angrily and rushed out.
See, she knew it.
No one would believe that the famous Zhong Mengfu would plagiarize. Not to mention plagiarizing his own students’ ideas and plots.
Humans are such an animal that blindly trusts authority.
Chang Ge is obviously her leading actor!
She clearly wrote the outline and plot of "The Journey to Wonderland"!
She, the original author, was poor and despised, but the plagiarist was very successful and gained both fame and money.
This fucking world!
Lu Miaomiao wandered aimlessly on the street. When she woke up from her grief and anger, she found that she had missed the last bus and she didn't have enough money to take a taxi.
In other words... is she going to live on the street?
The house she rented was on the outskirts of the city, far away from the city. It took two hours by bus. If you walked, you might have to walk all night. Public security was very poor in the suburbs, and she, a single woman, did not dare to walk at night.
Lu Miaomiao looked up at the dark, starless sky in the city. The streets were brightly lit, surrounded by roaring vehicles and noisy crowds.
This city is so big, but it doesn't belong to her.
She was hugging the vegetables in the bag awkwardly, as if she was holding on to her last support.
The plan for now is to first find a place where you can stay overnight, similar to a store like KFC that can be open 24 hours a day.
Her eyes wandered on both sides of the street, and suddenly stopped on a solid wooden plaque: Kaiming Bookstore.
This is a bookstore!
After dreams became popular, traditional bookstores that could not allow readers to enter dreams have been completely eliminated by the times, and were replaced by dream book spots established by film companies.
Lu Miaomiao has not seen a traditional bookstore for a long time. Unlike most people, she likes to read traditional books that can't lead to dreams.
Because it gives her room for bold imagination. And it allows her to calm down and figure out the author's intention.
The store was brightly lit, obviously not closed yet. She immediately walked to the bookstore and read some books to pass the time.
Pushing the door open, a young man was sitting at the counter, concentrating on reading a book. Lu Miaomiao's entry did not disturb him.
Lu Miaomiao walked into the bookshelf quietly, not wanting to disturb him.
A blond foreigner was putting books on the cart into the bookcase. Seeing her stop what he was doing, he said seriously: "Welcome, what book do you want?"
Lu Miaomiao said shamelessly: "Let me take a look first."
"Okay. Call me if you have a book you want." He walked out with the empty cart.
Lu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she was a little socially anxious and didn't like dealing with people.
She put down the heavy bag of vegetables, moved her sore arms, and slowly walked through the bookshelves.
There are undoubtedly a lot of books in this store. Lu Miaomiao looked at the rows of book titles and felt a little at a loss.
In the end, she simply picked up the book closest to her and started reading.
The name of the book was very ordinary, called "The Jungle Book"①. Lu Miaomiao guessed that it should be a book about jungle adventures, written by an Englishman named Rudyard Kipling. She had never heard of this name, maybe he was a newcomer.
'The night was released by the bat Munn,
and brought back home by the eagle Lan;
The cattle were locked in the stable,
and we will indulge all night before dawn.
This is the time to show off,
and show off their skills.
Listen, the calls! ——Good luck to the hunt,
The beasts who abide by the law of the jungle!
——Jungle Night Song
It was a very warm night in the Sione Mountains. Father Wolf slept all day and woke up at seven o'clock. He scratched his body, yawned, stretched out his claws one by one, and shook off the sleepiness on his claws...'
Unexpectedly, this was a fairy tale. The protagonist of the story is a wolf boy named Mowgli. He was adopted by a wolf pack when he just learned to walk. He grew up in the forest as a member of the wolf pack and met animal friends such as the old bear "Balu", the black panther "Bahla", the python "Ka", and the old lone wolf "Akla". Finally, with the help of his friends, he defeated the tiger Silhan and the invading red dog and became the well-deserved king of the jungle.
The language of the article is simple and full of childishness, and the plot is interesting. After reading the article, Lu Miaomiao seemed to have washed away the fatigue brought to her by the real world. She immersed herself in the book and followed the protagonist Mowgli on a great jungle adventure.
The book is not long and she reads very fast, so she finished it quickly. She closed the book cover and felt that the blood in her body could not be calmed for a long time.
She suddenly had a bold idea. Why didn't she weave a dream with the wolf boy as the protagonist? This idea made her very excited.
Although it was just an unformed idea, she felt that this must be a great story!
Maybe...it will be popular with readers.
She stroked the book cover, and she felt itchy in her heart, wanting to buy the book that gave her inspiration. But she only had 20 yuan on her body...
Finally, she gritted her teeth and shamelessly picked up the book and asked the foreigner at the counter, "Excuse me, how much is this book?"
Keynes glanced at the book cover, "25 yuan."
Lu Miaomiao's face immediately turned red, and she stammered, "I'm sorry..." She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into: "I don't have enough money, I'll come back next time to buy it."
"It doesn't matter." The young man who had been concentrating on reading a book at the counter raised his head and said with a smile: "Pay as much as you have first, and you can come back next time to make up for the shortfall."
Lu Miaomiao's eyes lit up, and she looked at the boss gratefully: "Thank you so much." She took out her pocket and took out a small amount of money. She took out her last 20 yuan and handed it to the boss, saying embarrassedly: "I will definitely send you the rest tomorrow!"
"Don't worry. You can send it anytime."
Lu Miaomiao picked up the bag of vegetables and the book, ready to leave. Her eyes casually passed over the book cover that the boss had turned upside down on the counter. Her eyes suddenly froze, and she couldn't help but read aloud: "Animal Farm ②?"
"Yes." Le Jing asked casually: "Have you read it too?"
Lu Miaomiao shook her head, with some surprise on her face: "This book has the same name as a traditional book published last year."
Le Jing was a little surprised: "So you are a writer."
Writer...
It's really a name with a sense of age.
Not everyone has the talent to be a dream weaver, so some people with literary dreams can only choose to become niche writers. Although Lu Miaomiao has the talent of a dream weaver, sometimes her books can't find an invisible thing willing to sign a contract with her, so she can only choose to go the traditional publishing route.
And "Animal Farm" is such a book.
"I'm just not a famous writer." Lu Miaomiao said. Thinking about it carefully, she is really a failure. She can neither become a dream weaver nor a famous writer.
Le Jing asked curiously: "What kind of story does your "Animal Farm" tell?"
Lu Miaomiao smiled awkwardly: "The story is boring, you may not be interested."
"It doesn't matter, you tell me, maybe I will like your book."
Lu Miaomiao thought for a moment and said dryly: "The story is set in an animal farm. The animals on the farm launched a successful revolution, drove away the humans who oppressed and exploited them, and then held new elections. , wanted to establish an equal animal society. However, the fruits of the revolution were seized by the stupid pigs, and they became more cruel and authoritarian rulers than humans."
Le Jing:...? ? ? ! ! !
She lowered her head and looked away from the obviously dazed young man, "I just said it was boring."
At that time, Zhong Mengfu yawned out of boredom as soon as he read the beginning, sarcastically saying that no one would want to read this book. The plot is absurd and incomprehensible, without any explosive points, and it will definitely be a hit.
"Do you understand the explosive point?" Zhong Mengfu said impatiently: "You can't write some plot that readers like to watch. Readers don't have the patience to enter a dirty farm to watch some incomprehensible animal exchanges, and people pursue It’s refreshing, it’s sweet, it’s a heart-wrenching love!”
"What kind of stuff do you write every day? I'm so embarrassed even if you wipe your butt!" She threw the manuscript on her face with disdain, then thought about it for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed: "Forget it. I have nothing to say to you, an idiot. I have already written so many words in this time. You go back to work."
"Oh, by the way, don't say you are my assistant when you go out. I am not happy for you to take advantage of the heat." Zhong Mengfu rolled his eyes and said meanly.
Lu Miaomiao endured the humiliation, held her breath, studied market routines, wrote "Shu Ran Xian Road", and gave it to Zhong Mengfu.
...Then the book was named Zhong Meng Fu.
Le Jing looked at the down-and-out lady strangely.
She was unkempt, shabbily dressed, and looked very frustrated.
She lives in another dimension, another era.
But in this way, she strangely wrote "Animal Farm" which is almost the same as the British writer George Orwell - this famous dystopian fable in world history!
"I'll take the liberty of asking." Le Jing took a deep breath and asked with rare anxiety: "Have you ever written "1984"?"
"1" Orwell's most famous work, together with Zamyatin's "Us" and Huxley's "Brave New World", is known as the "Dystopian Trilogy" in the 20th century literary world, and enjoys a high reputation in the world literary world. status.
Lu Miaomiao gave him a strange look, "Have you read my book?"
Le Jing took a breath and looked at this modern female version of George Orwell in awe.
Time will tell!
She will become a legend!
The author has something to say:
Before writing this chapter, I counted the votes and comments below, and Dream Weaver won by a slim margin, so I will write about Dream Weaver first. But I will also write the other two copies, of course after Dream Weaver.
①I love this book "The Jungle Book"!
I read this book countless times during my childhood! ! ! Super pretty! Since then I have had a special fondness for wolves. The author Rudyard Kipling is also great! He is the youngest writer in the world to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.
②"Animal Farm" and "1984" George Orwell's masterpiece, "1984" really makes people feel chills on their backs when reading it. Interested students can read it.
They are all parallel worlds anyway, so just think that the brain waves of Lu Miaomiao and George Orwell overlap. Because only in this way can we prove how awesome a girl is.
I gave the heroine this literary status because I wanted to offend people! Defeat a group of shallow and ignorant people who sit in a well and look at the sky!
