MTL - Attack Stream of Life-Chapter 55

Uncle did not give any good advice, but Qingchuan himself said that he wanted to set up a snack stall. His mother was very embarrassed. Today, life is not easy. There are so many gangsters on the street. Without a background force, this food stall is really difficult to set up. It is a trivial matter for people to eat and take for free, and they are afraid of extortion and robbery. Even if there is no extortion and robbery, there are still scoundrels who come to collect protection fees in an upright manner.

They are notorious for being careless here.

The top executives are all British, they don't care about the lives and deaths of the Chinese, they want 'Hong Kong people to rule Hong Kong', so they assign various black power gangs to oppress the Chinese and exploit them at every level. There are also large consortiums that monopolize people's livelihood, resulting in prices only rising but not falling, and it is difficult for dual-earner families to support their families.

The soles of other people's feet are the ceiling of one's own, so what is more than sadness? It's just that the people are small and single, and there is no sound when speaking, so they have to mix it up like this.

"It's not that I don't allow it. In the food business, the craftsmanship must be special before someone buys it. The rice you have cooked at home can be counted on one hand, that is, you can eat it. You want to do this business In business, you have to prove your ability." Qingchuan's mother used this to dissuade him.

"I can buy some materials to do it once, and two of the three people in the family said yes, you can let me try it. I don't go far away, nor do I go to downtown streets, I Go to the school gate a little earlier to set up a stall, just in the morning. People only come out to hang out in the afternoon when they are on the street, and I am at the school gate again. If it really doesn’t work, I will let them eat for nothing.”

He said this, his mother is not easy to refuse, boys want to come out, it is not good to polish people's will at home.

Qingchuan went to buy the ingredients, some flour, pork and leeks, he used his home pan to fry a pot of dumplings, crispy dumpling bottom, tough and chewy dumpling skin, fresh and tender filling Son, the group is just right, I want to eat one pot.

The two younger brothers and sisters ate without raising their heads, and proved their brother's craftsmanship with practical actions, even the neighbors next door smelled it.

"Sister-in-law of the Gu family, I think Ah Sheng, you need to do this business." The grandma next door spoke in local dialect with a strong accent, and was full of praise.

Everyone has their own preferences, but none of them say they are not delicious.

Qing Chuan looked up at her, knowing that the child had made up her mind, so she nodded.

She gave Qingchuan 500 yuan, which is the capital. She only paid more than 100 yuan to sweep the land for a month, and it was almost 200 yuan plus various tips. Now it's the early 1970s, and you can eat a meal for a few cents, not less than 500 yuan. The family relies on this income to support their living. If they hadn’t bought the house, they wouldn’t be able to pay the rent alone, let alone raising children. Therefore, I have no savings, and sometimes I have to be cheeky to ask my elder brother for help, but my sister-in-law looks down upon me.

Qingchuan went to the second-hand market to find a second-hand snack cart. It was repaired and it was barely usable. Bought another large iron pan and other odds and ends, and have since started a breakfast cart business.

The place where he set up his stall is at Wenbo Primary School across the river, where most of the students come from well-off families. The wealthy family members generally do not eat street stalls, nor do those who have no money. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a school where the family goes to, and the children have some change in their hands. Like the original body, because of poverty, he went to a church school nearby, and he had hardly eaten street food stalls and had no money in his pocket.

In fact, children in middle school are even richer, but considering that the original owner's small body can't stand the torture, he chose the primary school.

No matter how good a school is, there are school bullies, and there is no anti-criminal activity here. The little ones come and the old ones are endless. In addition, the school now has a grade-repeat system, and many gangsters are still adults in middle school. They say they are students, but in fact they are almost social people.

There is no way for middle school students, but for elementary school students, he always has a height advantage and an age advantage.

The types of stalls in Qingchuan are not fixed, except for the white porridge, which is fixed, and everything else is exchanged. Fried dumplings today, fried rice cakes with sizzling noodles tomorrow, and fried with glutinous rice the day after tomorrow. But the taste is very good, but after half a month, the students of Wenbo Elementary School have gathered their appetite, and even the teachers here have to buy two for breakfast.

The price is not high, usually one piece is enough for adults, and children save more. Because the booth was set up early, and the booth was closed before nine o'clock, there were few troubles. However, because the stall was already set up there, the protection fee still had to be paid, and there was a fixed fee. Qingchuan only thought that he had given the ground rent, and he could only forget it.

Qingchuan set up a stall in the morning, went to buy the materials for the next day at noon, and often had nothing to do in the afternoon. I don't go out to play with other peers, and I write at home with a pen. His mother worked as a cleaner in an entertainment club, and she had no other requirements for her eldest son, as long as he didn't make trouble, so he wrote a newspaper office casually. The postage isn't a waste anyway.

In fact, she didn't have the slightest expectation in her heart. She didn't hear that her eldest son's writing was particularly good, but she still encouraged her children.

Sometimes the broken jokes of the neighbors made Qingchuan a kid who dropped out of high school who didn't get into high school and learned to write manuscripts, which made her scolded back. Don't look at her being very gentle in front of children, her voice is soft, and she is full of anger when scolding people. She doesn't breathe for 15 minutes in one breath, and she doesn't repeat a word of swearing. She has the essence of a street shrew.

Yes, she can guard her home at a young age, so she is not a weak person.

Qingchuan used to write a lot of detectives, but now he has changed, he writes horror.

He has carefully studied the setting of the original plot. The ghosts in this world are imaginary monsters, pure spiritual energy bodies. Usually it’s all kinds of ancient stories of ghosts and ghosts, as well as strange urban stories. It didn’t exist before, but it spread widely. With the blessing of human thoughts, it appeared, and the people who believed in it disappeared, and it disappeared again.

So for so many days, even if he deliberately went to the house of someone who just died, he didn't see many souls. Even if he did occasionally, he was very weak and soon disappeared.

The system says that this type of wandering ghost belongs to one type of 'wandering ghost', no matter how many there are, it is useless, it is only one type.

There are many other types found in schools with various campus legends, but they can also be summarized as 'toilet ghosts' and 'sleeping ghosts'. Because these ghosts do not have very specific settings, the background introduction is particularly general, and the behaviors are similar, which are grouped into one category.

It's like the 'sexy ghost' he caught, all female ghosts who **** blood and blood belong to this category.

The worse thing is coming, this kind of ghost cannot be killed.

The ghost he trapped with chicken blood ropes, sun exposure, fire roasting, frying, electricity, splashing black dog blood, salting... All of them worked, but they couldn't die. At that time, their weakness became paper Pieces, will soon recover on their own.

He later investigated and visited, and it turned out that there was indeed such a legend of a ghost in the local area. Legend has it that ghosts have names and surnames, and there are records of how many people have been sucked dry. Many people really believe it, not as stories. These people sent their thoughts continuously, so that she would never die.

If the legend is deciphered, everyone knows it is false, maybe she does not exist. Unless the person who designed this rumor is alive.

In the plot, the protagonist created a monster by himself to spread the school horror rumors. This monster instinctively chases after the person who created it, the protagonist spends his time to break up the rumors, and logically the ghost is about to disappear, but it is still good.

The protagonist and others analyzed, because the protagonist, the person who created it, still exists, so it will not die. A few of the protagonist's friends died, and there were still a bunch of innocently involved students in the school, and everyone sealed it with the method of sealing it in rumors.

Of course, Qingchuan didn't want to let her die, after all, eliminating such rumors is a thankless task. What's more, he still has a task hanging on him, a hundred high-definition photos.

"Too weak." Qingchuan disliked the ghosts very much, just because it is a traditional setting, there are a lot of things to restrain the ghosts, chicken blood, black dog blood, ink bucket line, salt ...Wait, no matter how high the force value is, it's useless. So he took a clear and unobstructed full-body photo of Yan Gui and let her go.

Yangui didn't dare to have any revenge, and slipped away.

Damn it, he ran out in the middle of the night to find this place, it is already a big place, and there are about ten kinds of non-human creatures that have been found here and there, and some are still in The edge of weakness that is about to dissipate.

There are so few types of ghosts and monsters, when will it be possible to collect 100 types of ghosts? Could it be that he traveled eastward to collect some exotic ghosts? Otherwise, after waiting for more than 20 years to return, okay, the mainland will vigorously break the superstition.

After thinking about it, write some urban weird stories, maybe someone will believe it? Even if there are not more than a few, it is necessary to stabilize the few that are about to dissipate.

If it doesn't work, I have to wait for the ghost gate to open in the middle of July.

Qingchuan's literary talents still exist. No matter how stupid a person is, he will become better after a long time of study, not to mention that he has also learned several worlds seriously. His first article was included, divided into ten issues and published in the supplement, each issue of about 3,000 words.

Because I am a newcomer, the fee for the manuscript is not high, 18 thousand words. Nowadays, a bowl of wonton noodles costs a few dollars, which is really not that high. There is a wonton equation here. A normal fixed author's fee should be 1000 words equal to ten bowls of wonton noodles. For a famous author, a word counts for money. A word is a few cents, and a thousand words is a few hundred.

Can't eat.

The title of the first article is 'The Invisible Man', starting from a serial murder case, leading to a very strange creature, an invisible man.

Sometimes you feel like someone is watching you, watching you, on the road, at work, at school, at home, or even in your sleep. But anyway, you can't see it. Sometimes cameras and cameras can spot it, like a shadow of a failed exposure.

This monster is born in the dark, its setting is that it cannot be seen by humans, but it is extremely eager to be discovered, so it will track those who are popular and concerned, it gives gave them three chances to discover its existence.

Sometimes it's a guest you don't know at your banquet, who has no impression, but knows everything about you like a friend.

Sometimes it's a neighbor who passes you by, you feel familiar but can't name it.

Sometimes you see it at school and you are not sure if it is your classmate, even though it is in school uniform.

If it doesn't recognize it after three times, it will snap your throat when you're alone.

Invisible people are not afraid of what most traditional ghosts are afraid of, mahogany swords, crosses, light, animal blood, etc., are useless to it. The only thing that can trap it is the blockade formed by the white salt. But once you look at it, because of the setting of "cannot be seen", even if it has been surrounded, it will escape in the next second.

Qingchuan couldn't help thinking of illegitimate meals, and those stalkers and voyeurs...

This is a series, The Invisible Man is the first, about 30,000 words, and the manuscript fee for the accompanying letter is almost 600, which is almost three months salary of his mother plus tips, Or his two-and-a-half-month breakfast stall income.

In this way, the author of the manuscript can indeed be counted as a middle-income group, decent, and does not have to be entangled by hooligans, and will not be forced to collect protection fees. Whether setting up a stall or sweeping the floor, it is a low-level occupation, because the income is low and the risk is high.

One blow. So almost the next day, the whole building knew about it.

Selling characters is a pretty good career in their opinion. Many writers can only make a living by selling characters, and it is difficult to live a decent life without other income. But for the people in this building, just being able to make ends meet is pretty good.

They borrowed the newspaper, and after reading the first issue with relish, they couldn't help but follow the development of the plot after he asked. The editor of the newspaper is very bad at breaking the manuscript at the key point, and is well versed in the essence of leaving suspense.

Of course Qingchuan wouldn't say that, chasing updates is also a kind of fun.

This story was unexpectedly popular, and many people, especially the beautiful women, felt that there was really such a creature stalking her and spying on her. The newspaper sent him a bunch of letters from readers, most of them saying they were troubled by this.

She genuinely believed that invisible people were chasing her. She asked Qingchuan for help, although a solution was given in the story later, that is to call the name of the person who broke its disguise.

"It will only find people who are concerned and popular." Qingchuan said seriously.

"I know, isn't that me? Who doesn't know me in this building?" The aunt's voice trembled, she was really scared.

Qingchuan:…

What gave you this illusion?

Because of the fire of the first article, Qingchuan felt that he had the capital to bargain. He personally went to the newspaper office with his handwritten manuscript in his hand. He didn't know the depth of the industry, so he had to invite professional people to come, and at the price of 80 yuan an hour, he hired a lawyer with considerable experience in this field.

The editor in charge of the newspaper was also very surprised to see him, Qingchuan was too young, fifteen years old. He also knew how to find foreign aid. Few people think of looking for a lawyer when signing the contract, only to regret it after finding a loophole. Qingchuan knew from a young age that chopping wood was not a mistake for a knife sharpener, and this caution alone was worth taking seriously.

They signed another contract, Qingchuan signed a three-month contract with the newspaper, and provided a new story of the same series every month, with a word count of not less than 30,000. All kinds of copyrights are still in Qingchuan's hands, but all of them are published by their newspaper, and their publishing house enjoys the right to re-publish and publish in a collection.

The manuscript fee is 35 yuan per thousand words.

Qingchuan insisted on signing a short contract, because he still thought about raising the price three months later.

And he has secretly made up his mind to publish his detective work in another famous newspaper. There is no need to choose the content. What he has written in the past is easy to catch, and he can also take advantage of the situation to fill in the loopholes in logic and common sense.

He is not willing to be held in the palm of his hand like this, and he has not signed an exclusive author contract, so he can publish it separately.

A writer without a trump card is a money-making tool in the hands of the publishing house. And it's always a little short for those publishing houses, unless you've already made a name for yourself, maybe it's a little respectable. That is to say, powerful people still do not take any writer in their eyes.

In the continent of the same era, he has never swallowed his voice like this, and he can't be here.

After the invisible man, followed by his second article, the man in the closet.

surface wandering. After being seen, in anyone's eyes it is what they fear most. It only likes to hide in closed dark small spaces, such as wardrobes, cracks in the walls, and above the ceiling, which makes it very safe.

In contrast to the unseen, the person in the closet is extremely afraid of being seen, and if it is seen, there will be a horrific scream that can disrupt the work being done of all electrical appliances.

Usually it is very docile and not lethal, but after being seen by others, it becomes very angry, whatever you are afraid of, it becomes what it looks like, it is extremely fast and powerful , you can instantly break a steel bar with a thick bowl mouth.

The person in the cabinet is a special two-dimensional creature, which can be attached to any plane and cannot be caught.

So at the beginning, the case was very strange. The beast entered the house and killed, was sucked to death by blood, because of fear of cardiac arrest, and was professionally divided into corpses... But there was no sign of anything leaving at the scene.

The only survivor was a child who was in the period of changing her teeth and was very afraid of the doctor who pulled her teeth. Then she had all her teeth pulled out. Fortunately, they were all deciduous teeth. When it was about to kill, the child's parents came back and found that the light was broken, so they lit it with a flashlight and drove it away.

According to these clues, the protagonist duo found its weakness, the people in the cabinet don't like light, it can't move when it is illuminated, this is its only weakness. They found him, sealed it up in a special container with spotlights on all six sides, connected it to electricity, and buried it near the power plant.

The people in the cabinet can't be killed, because of fear, they can't be killed.

As soon as this article came out, the public cried and cried again. When they saw cockroaches, they would be so excited that they called the police and claimed that they had been attacked by "people in the closet".

Sometimes Qingchuan really feels that it is a very great and rare thing that a fragile creature like human can survive and develop to this day.

Still the top of life.

Nature is so amazing.
