I believe that everyone here can understand the feeling of reading a novel when it is very exciting and then suddenly comes to an end.
I really wanted to tie the author up right away and whip him hard with a whip.
The kind that doesn’t allow you to eat or go to the bathroom until you finish writing…
This is how Xu Xiaoyun feels now. She feels as if her heart is being scratched by a cat and is extremely itchy.
"Oh no! What should we do next? How can the Eighth Route Army deal with such a powerful Shanqi Battalion!
That brigade commander, why hasn't he sent Li Yunlong's independent regiment up there yet? "
When Xu Xiaoyun was worried about this, his eyes suddenly widened and he shouted at Chen Jing who was reading another book, "Xiao Jing! This is your dad! It's your dad!"
Xu Xiaodong was also startled by Xu Xiaoyun's shouting and asked curiously: "Xiaoyun, what book are you reading? You are so excited and you even mentioned Xiaojing? In which book did you read the part about Uncle Chen?"
"Yes! No! No..."
Xu Xiaoyun was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Chen Jing also smiled and asked: "What do you mean by one moment it is, and the next moment it is not? Xiaoyun, you used to be very quiet when reading! Not like today."
"As for Uncle Chen, could it be some red books? Historical materials about the Anti-Japanese War?
This Lin Huowang's house has quite a collection of books!"
Xu Xiaodong also said in amazement.
"No! Oh! This is so beautiful that I am speechless.
What I mean is, I did see Xiaojing's father, Uncle Chen, just now, but I didn't see him in any book.
It's a novel, no! To be more precise, it should be a draft of a novel, only a few thousand words, but it is so wonderful that it makes my blood boil and I can't wait to rush into the battlefield in the novel and fight side by side with my comrades. "
Xu Xiaoyun spoke very excitedly, with a beaming face, which immediately aroused the curiosity of Chen Jing and Xu Xiaodong.
"Ah! A draft of a novel? The one on this desk, could it be written by Lin Huowang or Liu Rumeng?"
Xu Xiaodong came over and poked his head out curiously. Especially when he saw the handwriting on the manuscript paper, he immediately concluded, "This font is big and powerful, it must not be written by Liu Rumeng.
But Lin Huowang is only eighteen years old, how could he...have such beautiful handwriting?
If I hadn’t known in advance, I would have thought that this was the handwriting of a literary veteran! It’s obvious that there is a lot of background. Without decades of accumulation, it is impossible to write such words.”
Chen Jing also nodded and said in approval: "This font combines the style of Liu style and Yan style, and at the same time forms its own style. Although the level is far from reaching the level of a great calligrapher, for ordinary people, being able to write like this with a pen is already very impressive."
Seeing the two holding manuscripts and studying Lin Huowang's calligraphy, Xu Xiaoyun immediately shouted anxiously:
"Oh! What happened to you two?
Look at the content! Why look at the words?
With such a wonderful novel in front of you, you are only concerned with appreciating the words, which is really putting the cart before the horse.”
"Why are you in such a hurry? Xiaoyun, isn't it just a novel about the Anti-Japanese War? Is it really that interesting? You just said that there are some parts about Uncle Chen?"
Xu Xiaodong smiled and then began to read carefully.
"Yes! The commander of the 386th Brigade is Uncle Chen! When I first read it, I didn't react for a while.
After I finished watching it, I thought to myself, wow! It really is Uncle Chen. I immediately had a picture in my mind, haha! This feeling is quite strange. "
Xu Xiaoyun still spoke excitedly.
"Oh? Some of them belong to my dad. I'd better take a closer look."
Chen Jing also became interested. After Xu Xiaodong finished reading the first few hundred words on the first page, she immediately took it over and started reading from the beginning.
On the other hand, Xu Xiaodong seemed relaxed and indifferent at first glance.
But after reading the first page, the independent regiment leader Li Yunlong's vivid "bandit" appearance made people catch him immediately.
After all, when he heard his father talk about the difficult days during the Anti-Japanese War, they were mostly about pain and difficulties, and the will and sacrifice of the soldiers.
We do need to remember the hatred and hardships.
But it is not vivid and real enough after all, and it makes people feel distant and historical. They always feel that it was not something that happened decades ago, but was engraved in history textbooks and has become a distant story in the long river of history.
Once such a sense of distance and history is created, the original motivational effect of these anti-Japanese war stories will also be greatly weakened.
On the contrary, in the novel "Drawing Sword", at the beginning, Li Yunlong bargained with the Minister of Logistics Zhang Wanhe, and even said something ridiculous about exchanging his future wife for a grenade. This brought Xu Xiaodong closer to the War of Resistance from a unique perspective.
"The Yamaqi Battalion of the Japanese invaders! So strong! So brave, they went straight into our base..."
"Not good! Our arsenal is right under their noses."
"Fortunately, our arsenal has a natural barrier of one line of sky, and there is a company of soldiers guarding it. They will definitely not be able to attack it in a short time."
"What? Without firing a single shot, the company commander ran away with his men? How abominable!"
"It's over! The Japs even have aircraft support, and our soldiers have suffered heavy losses!"
"What should we do? What should we do? Xiaojing! What's wrong with Dad? Why is he leaving a brave general like Li Yunlong as a reserve?"
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
