Zhang Zhong knew that they would have this question, how could a computer student suddenly be able to make a living selling literature?
"Dad, you have entered a misunderstanding in your thinking. Let's not talk about youth literature and martial arts novels. Looking at the great writers in modern times, a large part of them are not majoring in literature." Zhang Zhong said.
Hu Huifang nodded, "This makes sense. I heard that Zhuang Yu studied medicine, and Yu Dongyu, who has recently become popular, seems to have been an electrician before. So, our son, who is a top student in computer science, would like to write a novel.
It’s reasonable.”
Zhang Xingjun shook his head, "I still feel strange. Although I didn't major in literature, I must have been interested in it since I was a child. I don't know about you? You were interested in painting when you were a child."
Hu Huifang frowned and said angrily, "Zhang Xingjun, I think you don't look down on your son, okay? Shen Wenhe graduated from elementary school and became a literary giant, but you can't stand my son writing novels to make some money?"
"No, I'm just curious..." Zhang Xingjun's voice became smaller and smaller.
Hu Huifang glanced at Zhang Xingjun, who looked cowardly, and then turned to look at Zhang Zhong, "By the way, son, your article was published in "Agitation Literature", right? Is it available in this issue?"
Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, there are both issues. There are two articles in total, one is "Chameleon" and the other is "Jieyou Grocery Store"."
"What?" Hu Huifang looked at Zhang Zhong with a strange expression.
As a middle school teacher, Hu Huifang read almost every issue of "Agitation Literature", and the two novels from the last issue were particularly memorable to her.
Because these two novels are written by the same person, and they are placed at the beginning and the end.
It is said that one of the articles was reprinted by the Huaxia Minbao. She does not go online, but she heard this from a teacher in the same office.
She still remembered the author's pen name - fifth-grade vegetative - and Hu Huifang's eyes became even more surprised.
At that time, she felt that this pen name gave her a special feeling. Now it seems, isn't this her own son?
Zhang Zhong smiled, his mother had indeed read his book.
"Yes, I wrote both of these books. I'm lucky and many people like them."
Zhang Xingjun saw his wife's expression from the side and was a little confused, "Huifang, what's wrong?"
Hu Huifang told Zhang Xingjun about "Agitation Literature" and Huaxia Minbao. After talking, the old couple looked at their son as if they were aliens.
When they first heard that Zhang Chong was making money by writing books, they thought he was similar to those writers of martial arts novels. They didn't expect that his influence was so great that it even alarmed the Chinese People's Daily.
Although they were surprised that Zhang Zhong was a "vegetative person in the fifth grade," the couple was more happy for their son.
"I didn't expect our son to become a great writer." Hu Huifang smiled from ear to ear.
Pengpeng had been eating the jelly beans provided by the hotel just now. When he heard grandma's words, he wiped his mouth with his fleshy little hands and said, "Dad is a super, super, great writer."
Hu Huifang laughed and scolded, "You little brat, you know what a great writer is."
Pengpeng shook his head, "I know, he is a more powerful person than a university professor."
"Look how beautiful you are!"
…
Things went much smoother than Zhang Zhong imagined. His parents quickly accepted the fact that he became a writer, and the family of four had a great meal.
It is worth mentioning that because Pengpeng ate too many jelly beans, she didn’t eat much during the big meal. She looked at the big meal on the table and touched her round belly, almost crying.
In fact, she could still eat some after holding herself up, but Zhang Zhong was determined not to let her eat. Overeating and eating was certainly not a good habit. It was not only bad for the body, but also reduced people's ability to control themselves.
Aunt Wu's money was repaid. Although the family had nothing, they were debt-free and the family was healthy. Zhang Xingjun was very happy and took Zhang Zhong to drink some liquor.
Zhang Zhong used to be a good drinker, but today he started to feel a little drunk after drinking two ounces, so he quickly put down the glass.
After returning home slightly drunk, Zhang Zhong turned on his computer and uploaded a chapter.
The book has been distributed to Chapter 9.
And in this chapter, the general died.
There are only seven left out of eight.
As soon as this chapter came out, many people who had previously guessed that the murderer was the general were immediately confused, and many of these people had also guessed that the maid was the murderer before.
How do you guess who will die?
There are now seven people left on the island. Readers have ruled out the possibility of others, because these people searched the house and found no one else. Unless they were a person with super powers, there would be no one else.
It was impossible to avoid their search and still continue to kill people.
Among these seven people, there are male servants, religious women, judges, doctors, female teachers, veterans, and police officers.
Not long after the book was released, some netizens launched a poll to let everyone choose the murderer in their mind.
Later, the website saw that readers were very enthusiastic, so it held an official poll.
When the general was not dead, his vote count among the eight people was quite high. He had an approval rate of over 20%.
There are now seven people left, among whom the veteran has the highest vote, followed by the police, then the doctor and the judge, and finally the male servant and two women.
Some netizens are more into the drama and not only find various evidences to prove that the person they support is the murderer, but also go to ridicule the book friends who support other people.
I often see comments like this.
[Don’t think about it, the murderer must be a doctor. Those who think veterans are the murderers should give up. He will get a box lunch when the new chapter comes out tomorrow.]
[Put it down, the doctor will be biss tomorrow!]
[Don’t argue, the doctor will die tomorrow, the veteran will die the day after tomorrow, and I, the chief judge, will definitely live to the end.]
[The police expressed dissatisfaction!]
Unknowingly, readers begin to wait for the next person to die.
They wanted to see who would die first.
The two people who died later were a religious woman and a male servant, but there was no reaction. After all, not many netizens thought that these two people were the murderers.
Especially for the male servant, it seems unlikely that he killed his wife.
Now there are only five people left. Except for the female teacher, the support ratings of the other four people are not much different.
An exciting moment seems to be coming, with the doctors' party, police party, judges' party, military party, and a small group of inconspicuous female teachers' party.
Who can laugh at the end? The answer is being revealed step by step.
The judge's party retreated first, and among the five members, the judge died first.
The doctor party was defeated next... No, it seems not, the doctor just disappeared and did not say he was dead.
When the policeman died later, readers agreed that the doctor was the murderer, and he just hid it until...the female teacher and the soldier found the doctor's body on the beach.
The doctor party, which was originally confident of winning, suddenly felt like they were in mourning.
Now, only the soldiers and female teachers are left.
However, what happened exceeded all readers' imaginations. The soldier was shot to death by the female teacher, and then the female teacher suddenly hanged herself.
It stands to reason that the person who hanged himself in the end was the murderer, right? But the female teacher was obviously not the murderer.
