Walking with Cats [Quick Transmigration]

He once came to my world, and now he is gone, but he still lives in my heart.

……

Chen Xiao put down the book in his hand, smiled and nodded to the young editor sitting in front of him, and said, "Just publish it according to this version, don't change a single word, just add a preface."

Chen Xiao, who is more than seventy years old, still has the same handsome eyebrows and eyes as when he was young, only a few more traces of the years, and there is still a bit of cunning in his smile. He is worthy of the name of the old naughty boy the neighbors gave him.

But the editor was a little nervous because of his inexplicable smile. He straightened his back and nodded seriously: "Okay, I will definitely bring your words to the editor-in-chief. By the way, has Mr. Chen ever thought of writing a preface for this book himself?" Woolen cloth?"

"No, no, I've written so many prefaces for his books in my life, and I can't write anymore." Chen Xiao waved his hand to refuse, and showed nostalgia on his face, "He is a good writer, but he is lazy. I don’t want to do it myself, if I hadn’t grown up with him and we have been friends for decades, I wouldn’t have done such time-consuming and laborious things.”

The editor echoed with a smile: "Yes, everyone in the literary world knows that Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhang have a good relationship."

"What's so good? We agreed to live a long life together. Didn't he miss the appointment and go first?" Chen Xiao sighed softly, sorting out the scattered manuscripts on the table, "He violated the agreement with Xiao Cheng, and he also violated My promise. He, who claims to be trustworthy, is actually the most untrustworthy."

The editor didn't know how to respond, but fortunately, Chen Xiao's words were not meant for him.

"Okay, go get busy, don't come to me if you don't have anything to do recently." While tidying up, Chen Xiao gave the young editor an eviction order, "Go back."

Hearing this, the editor hurriedly stood up and said goodbye.

Sending off the guests and sorting out the manuscripts, Chen Xiao took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, left the study slowly, walked to the tall carambola tree in the yard, sat on the ground, and opened the "Essay Collection" that had been put aside halfway in the morning ".

This book looks very old, and the corners of the pages still have wear and tear after being flipped through many times. The slightly yellowed paper exudes a stale smell, and the traces of time passing can be faintly seen.

Chen Xiao read a few pages, then sighed suddenly, couldn't help but turn back to the cover, looked at the three words "Zhang Yuliang" in the author column, and murmured: "When I helped you proofread, I said the old In the future, I will co-author a memoir with you, Reminiscing about Bitterness and Thinking About Sweetness, I never thought you would leave so early before me..."

Eight years ago, Zhang Yuliang died of stomach cancer at the age of 62.

After Cheng Dan left, Zhang Yuliang seemed to be on the hook. Not only did he shine in the online literary world, he even broke the barriers between online literature and traditional literature, and wrote several online novels with strong literariness. The literary world caused an uproar.

Chen Xiao still remembers how bloody the domestic literary world was during Zhang Yuliang's strong rise and the most productive ten years.Every year when the various literary awards are announced, it is the scene of a large Shura field. Not only the famous figures in the literary world talk about him, but even netizens who simply eat melons will express some not-so-sophisticated opinions on this.And the battle between Zhang Yuliang's fans and his black fans alone can cause a lot of trouble on the Internet, and everyone knows it, let alone others.

However, Rao was the group who criticized Zhang Yuliang the most relentlessly. While scolding Zhang Yuliang, they had to admit aggrievedly that his appearance injected new vitality into the domestic literary circles, and also It breaks the barrier between network literature and traditional literature.Not only that, he also cultivated a group of fresh blood for the literary world, which made the previously stagnant literary world flourish.

In Chen Xiao's impression, his fans made a statistic in those few years, which was a statistic to investigate what careers the children around him wanted to do in the future. Among them, 30.00% of the children wanted to be writers, and 30.00% of the 40.00% Mostly because of the influence of Zhang Yuliang.

When this statistic first came out, netizens only regarded it as a joke, and made it popular in a teasing tone, and then let it go silent after a while.Even sand sculpture netizens don’t care about the stalk, and of course people in the literary world don’t care. They haven’t even paid attention to it, or laughed at this seemingly unreliable statistic. Liang arched down the dining table, and tried to prevent him from lifting the table in the literary world.

However, a few years later, the emergence of a large number of young writers turned this statistics into a resounding slap in the face of all those who had ridiculed it.The teenagers who left their names on the survey form have grown into youths, working hard towards their dreams; the children have also grown up. Although their writing is still immature, they are more vigorous and energetic than their lifeless predecessors, and they have a future with infinite possibilities.

Today, those indirectly influenced or brought up by him have grown into the backbone of the literary world, and he has successfully escaped from the storm, from a popular Internet writer with mixed reputations to a No. 1 in the domestic literary circle. [-] height.

One year before Zhang Yuliang's death, he completed his last work "Li Jian Kong".He started writing this work from the year Cheng Dan passed away. It took 33 years and he exhausted his heart and soul. He wrote a story about meeting and saying goodbye, which made his readers cry bitterly and willingly. Eat the blades he distributes.

Eight years later, "Lijian Kong" still ranks first in the total physical sales list, leaving No.2 far behind. Not only has it copied the legend of writing online novels, but it has continued to lure and abduct countless ignorant teenagers into the literary world. A huge pit mission.

If "You Yu" made Zhang Yuliang a god in the online literary world, then "Li Jiankong" is the pinnacle of his life, and it will also stand in front of everyone in the domestic traditional literary world in the next hundred years. monument.

And "Li Jiankong" not only enjoys a high reputation in China, but also has a very high reputation and a huge fan base abroad.Every year, fans at home and abroad spontaneously celebrate the birthdays, festivals, and Ching Ming of the important characters of "Li Jian Kong".It seems that they are not virtual characters, but real existences who have lived in the world and know each other well.

This kind of faith-like behavior makes people who are afraid of being abused and dare not watch "Li Jian Kong" yearn for it.

Of course, they are even more afraid to look at it after yearning. You said that birthdays are understandable, but celebrating festivals and celebrating the Qingming Festival...how cruel is this, to make so many people feel uncomfortable?Let's back out and stay safe.

Literature has no borders, just like art has no borders. Although "Li Jiankong" uses oriental mythology and tells the stories of Chinese people, it strips away the parts that are too obscure and mystical, even for people who have no understanding of Chinese civilization. People can also see it.In addition, the story of "Li Jian Kong" itself is brilliant enough, and the characters are bright enough, so it is not surprising that it is so popular.

It's a pity that Zhang Yuliang had already died of a serious illness when "Li Jian Kong" became famous, and he couldn't wait for the moment when he won various literary awards. Even his awards were received by Chen Xiao on his behalf.But considering that he is not someone who would mind such trivial matters, not many people would really regret it.

I have to regret, but also regret that his premature departure caused the literary world to lose a true genius.

Zhang Yuliang has been walking on a high place that others can't reach all his life, but his eyes are always fixed on the low place, and he has never shown his superiority.

During the period when he was the most ill, he personally received several senior fans, talked with them late into the night, and solved the knot in one of them.When he was dying, he was so sick that he was skinny, but he was still calm and showed no sign of weakness.

This is why those who love him love deeply, while those who hate him are not afraid to speculate in the worst direction no matter what he does.

He lives too chicly, with a detached heart. He is obviously qualified to be arrogant, but he insists on being a humble person, which will naturally make people who are not happy in life feel unbalanced.Even Chen Xiao occasionally envies his calm and unhurried demeanor when Taishan collapses, and envies his peacefulness of not taking pleasure in things or sorrowing himself, let alone others.

However, Chen Xiao's envy and jealousy turned into heartache again when he thought that during the 34 years since Cheng Dan left, Zhang Yuliang rarely had a moment of real joy.

Rather than standing alone at the top, Zhang Yuliang definitely hopes to be with the one he loves day and night.He also said that he was willing to use what he had to peel the crayfish for Cheng Dan again, but this was just his extravagant wish.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao couldn't help sighing again, hesitatingly turned to the last article of the anthology, slowly reading from the first line.

That was the last time Zhang Yuliang mentioned Cheng Dan before his death.

……

——Before reaching the sea, we have come to the end.

Among the legends related to the Broken Bridge of West Lake, the most popular one is the first encounter between Xu Xian and the White Snake in "The Legend of the White Snake".But in different regions, Broken Bridge also has other stories, such as the story about "fate" that my father told me when I was young.Although I have forgotten what the story is about, I only vaguely remember it as if it was a cheesy routine of forgetting first and then remembering, breaking the relationship first and then renewing the relationship, but the relationship between the two protagonists brought me a huge spiritual shock.

After writing this, Zhang Yuliang covered her lips and coughed a few times. She opened her hands and saw a layer of blood on her palm, and her stomach began to ache.

He temporarily put down his pen, took medicine from the shelf beside him, took two pills with half-warm water, suppressed the annoying pain in his stomach, and continued with his pen.

——What is love? There are many answers to this question, but most of them are commonplace, or pretentious, or narrowly attribute the word love to a certain type of emotion, and say words that think they are affectionate but can only touch themselves .At that time, I was still young, and I only had a vague understanding of many things.

Even so, when I first heard this story, I was also deeply shocked by the emotions told in it, so that now decades have passed, the story itself has faded into a vague outline, and the shock is still long-lasting. , lingering.

Later, I met a man in front of half a window frame in a small courtyard planted with a carambola tree.When I saw him, it was as if I saw the other side of this life across the Milky Way.But I don't have the luck of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and no magpies are willing to build a return journey to the other shore for me, and I don't even have an annual meeting.

I love him, maybe not as shocking as the story, but it really made me understand that love can transcend the meaning of "love" itself and make a mediocre soul.

Cangyang Gyatso said that the world is safe with the Dharma of both perfection, and it is worthy of Tathagata and worthy of Qing.I said, if you don't lose to Tathagata, you don't lose to Qing, but you know that Tathagata is not Qing.Love that is too deep will make people lose themselves, and it will also light a lamp to illuminate the way forward for those who are lost in the red dust. Love itself is not wrong, but those who use love as a spear and hurt others and themselves are wrong.

Thinking about it now, I was shocked when I heard that story. Perhaps what shocked me was not the story, nor the love, but the courage and determination to abandon love for love.If I cut off the fate of the one I love, it would be tantamount to taking my life out of my life. Even if it is just imagining that kind of pain, it makes me shudder.

Others say that I am cold-tempered, but in fact I just give all the warmth to one person.Others also say that I am detached, but in fact I am the one who can't let go.I don't have the courage to forget, and I'm not as strong as the protagonist of the story, who can't bear the heartache of cutting off the relationship before continuing the relationship.I am worried that we have reached the end of the sea before we reach the sea, so even today, I have never stepped on the broken bridge.

It's been 33 years since he left, and I'm getting old and sick.I lost my covenant with him, and I didn't live a long life. Everything else is fine, but these two things make me feel ashamed.Thankfully, I kept my promise to myself.

He once came to my world, and now he is gone, but he still lives in my heart.

……

As he was dying, Zhang Yuliang returned to the past he dreamed of, Cheng Dan's past, in a burst of dazzling white light.

It was a sunny afternoon, and there was no one in the huge yard, but the sunlight illuminated the whole yard brightly.Under the peach tree, the light and shadow are intertwined, and the rustling wind seems to be singing a soft ditty, which is peaceful and comfortable.

Zhang Yuliang looked around in a daze, but he couldn't see his parents or friends. The quiet atmosphere made him feel uneasy, but he didn't know why.

Suddenly, he felt something in his heart, and turned to look in the direction of the gate. Cheng Dan was standing there looking at him with a surprised and delighted expression.

Subconsciously, Zhang Yuliang opened his arms, wanting to hug him.But he rushed over first, threw himself into Zhang Yuliang's arms, stepped on his instep as usual, buried his face in his shoulder, and rubbed against him coquettishly.

"As expected, I saw you as soon as I opened my eyes." Cheng Dan said with a smile.

Zhang Yuliang tightened her arms, and gently kissed him in the middle of the hair.

It turned out that he didn't miss the appointment.
