Global Update [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 64
Jing Xinglan fell asleep for two days and two nights.
When he woke up, it was already the afternoon of the third day.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, and the eyelids of the man lying on the bed trembled twice, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that catches the eye is the ceiling above the head.
This is a strange bedroom, small in size, and looks a little old.Jing Xinglan managed to get up half of his body and wanted to get out of bed, but just in the middle of the movement, he stopped suddenly.
——Because he saw Qiao Jing.
The black-haired young man was wearing a white stand-collar gown that was very popular among literati in the Republic of China. Probably because he was tired from writing, not only did he not notice that Jing Xinglan had woken up, he even fell asleep soundly on the table.
The young man looked a little tired, his slender eyelashes fluttered slightly in the air with the air of his breath, even though he fell asleep, he still held a pen loosely in his hand, and the ink on the pen tip had already smudged the manuscript paper. A dot of ink.
Jing Xinglan tilted her head and looked at him for a while, with a smile on her lips unconsciously.
If Qiao Jing woke up, he thought, seeing this page and rewriting it again, I am afraid that even if he is silent on the surface, he must be extremely unhappy in his heart.
It is manifested in small movements, that is, the young man will lightly purse his lips, and then blink his eyes twice quickly, as if to remind himself to firmly remember this mistake and not to make it again in the future.
very cute.
Jing Xinglan got up carefully, and just about to put the blanket covering Qiao Jing on Qiao Jing, the young man who was still asleep just now woke up suddenly.
"……you're awake?"
He raised his head abruptly, and when he saw Jing Xinglan, he couldn't help but a little joy glowed in his pitch-black eyes.
"Yeah," Jing Xinglan paused for a moment, with a slightly annoyed expression on his face, "Did I wake you up?"
"No, I didn't plan to sleep for a long time." Qiao Jing rubbed his temples, watched Jing Xinglan put down the blanket with an indescribable expression on his face, then walked to his desk with his upper body naked, and picked it up curiously. A manuscript was read.
He coughed and looked away in embarrassment: "Well, can you get dressed first?"
Even though there were only the two big men in the room, Qiao Jing still felt a little uncomfortable with Jing Xinglan dressed like this.
"Huh? My old clothes..."
"It's too worn out, so I threw it away." Qiao Jing pointed to the folded clothes beside the bed, "This is mine. The tailor made it too big, so I haven't worn it yet."
Jing Xinglan took a look and found that it was a set of black gowns, the style was exactly the same as the one Qiao Jing was wearing.
He was in a happier mood again.
After changing her clothes, Jing Xinglan looked around and asked, "Is this where you live now?"
This place is too shabby, Jing Xinglan looked at it and pondered in his heart, how to persuade Qiao Jing to move out with him to live in a big house next.
Even though the young man was wearing loose clothes, Jing Xinglan could tell at a glance that he had lost a lot of weight during this time, even his already thin waist had narrowed a bit.
Thanks to the fact that he is still working hard to learn nutrition by himself in modern times, he sighed in his heart and thought, it was hard for him to feed people to make them rounder, and it turns out that this is the real one and return to before liberation.
Qiao Jing nodded.
"Actually, I lived in the dormitory of the school," he whispered, "but the dormitory does not allow outsiders to enter, so I left the dormitory."
The reason why he was so tired these two days was because during the period when Jing Xinglan was in a coma, Qiao Jing not only withdrew from school, but also signed a rental agreement with the landlord in just half a day. After settling down, Qiao Jing, who had just paid the tuition fee for this semester, was too cash-strapped because the rent of the house near the school was too high, so he had to write the first [-] words of "All Beings Crossing" all night and send it to the newspaper office, using it as a guarantee , paid some manuscript fees from Xu Weixin in advance, and then temporarily solved the rent problem for this quarter.
Of course, Qiao Jing didn't tell Jing Xinglan about these things.
He is not a kindergarten student who needs to be praised by the teacher Xiao Honghua. Even if Qiao Jing is not good at dealing with people, he is a person who has lived alone away from home since college.
After all these years, he has already actively or passively learned the necessary life skills for adults.
Jing Xinglan stood there in a daze for a while. Although Qiao Jing said it lightly, how could he not know the trouble and hard work involved?
"You've worked hard." He sighed, "Next..."
He was just about to say that it's my turn to take care of you, but Qiao Jing suddenly said to him seriously: "Jing Xinglan, don't feel pressured."
Jing Xinglan:?
He was a little dazed and didn't quite understand what Qiao Jing meant.
"I probably know a little bit about the matter of time travel," Qiao Jing said vaguely, "but generally speaking, it was an accident, and you were implicated by me... So, logically speaking, I should tell you Say sorry."
Jing Xinglan frowned fiercely: "Stop talking nonsense. This is obviously the cat's fault, so what does it have to do with you?"
While he was in a coma, 008 had already explained to him the ins and outs of this time travel, and Jing Xinglan finally understood where the time-transcending knowledge in "Song of the Earth" came from. Tell him that if Jing Xinglan deliberately leaks secrets to expose Qiao Jing's identity in the future, or dares to treat Qiao Jing badly, it will apply to the headquarters to erase the man's memory and send him back to Earth, and let him no matter what electronic products he uses in his life. The speed is always hovering between 008 and 404g.
Although Jing Xinglan always felt that the black coal ball-like cat face was inexplicably bluffing when he said these words, but after listening to it, he only found it funny, and he didn't feel threatened at all——
Of course he wouldn't do anything to offend Qiao Jing!
Hearing Jing Xinglan take the initiative to mention 008, Qiao Jing glanced at the man in surprise, but didn't ask him when he knew about it, but said: "That's not what I mean. I just want to tell you, I'm the one who took you I came to this world, so naturally I have to be responsible to you."
Jing Xinglan thought: "Responsible to me?"
"Yes," Qiao Jing said seriously, "I know you have a gap in your heart, but it doesn't matter, I have money." You don't have to do that... that physical work."
Jing Xinglan: "..."
After doing it for a long time, he thought dumbfoundedly, so Qiao Jing really regarded him as those dock laborers who made a living by moving goods?
But with Jing Xinglan's attire back then, even Xu Weixin doubted it for a long time, so it's no wonder Qiao Jing thought so.
The man wanted to explain, but suddenly he had an idea, swallowed the words that came to his lips, and then showed an expectant expression: "Really? In the days to come, I will ask Mr. Qiao."
He smiled and said: "I'm in charge of cooking and cleaning at home, and you are in charge of earning money to support the family. How about a happy division of labor?"
Qiao Jing: Does it sound like something is wrong?
But he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, so he nodded, agreeing with Jing Xinglan's statement.
Not only that, but the honest young man turned around and took out a money bag from the locked drawer of the desk, carefully counted out ten silver dollars, and put them in the man's palm.
Jing Xinglan: "This is?"
Qiao Jing: "This month's living expenses."
Jing Xinglan: "..."
The black-haired young man also told him solemnly: "Ten silver dollars is enough for a long time, but it's better to save a little. Recently, the prices in the city are very expensive, and the business is not doing well. I worry that one day the newspaper office will not be able to publish Drafting fee."
Jing Xinglan was silent.
He stared at the ten silver dollars in his hand with a complicated expression. When he was still studying abroad, so much was probably enough for him to buy two textbooks. Now, it has become their family's living expenses for a month...
how to say.
Suddenly, I felt that the burden on my shoulders was heavier again.
In the "Dongfang Beijing News" newspaper office, Xu Weixin stared blankly at his messy desktop.
Spread out on the table was Qiao Jing's manuscript, the first [-] words of "The Crossing of All Beings", which Qiao Jing had written all night.
He sat on the seat and did not move for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, the editor-in-chief let out a long sigh, lit a cigar, and silently walked to the balcony.
In fact, Xu Weixin had this hunch when he saw "Beggar" before.
He had said at that time that Yan Heqing, or Qiao Jing, would definitely be able to make a name for himself and win a place in the literary world within ten years.
——Now it seems that he still thinks too conservatively.
This young man is not a rough jade that needs to be polished at all, but a diamond that has been basically carved and only needs one chance to shine!
However, what made Xu Weixin both excited and entangled was not because Qiao Jing's "The Crossing of All Beings" was poorly written.
It is precisely because the writing is so good, too real, and too slanderous... Xu Weixin is worried that this book may cause an uproar in the whole society.
There are many literatures about women throughout the ages;
There are quite a few literature about women in brothels;
But when written like Qiao Jing, every word and every sentence is like bleeding, Xu Weixin has to stand up and take a while after reading a page, and only after he is mentally prepared can he have the courage to continue reading. For thousands of years, this family has been alone.
Obviously, they are seven women with different backgrounds, different regions, and even their appearance and character are completely different. There is a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River. Live a luxurious life; there is the famous lark in the Shanghai Beach dance hall, wearing a red dress, looking bright, so many men can't ask for her;
There is also the daughter of a prostitute who lived in a brothel and called her "mother" since she was a child. She has a naive personality. She didn't like to learn needlework at a young age, and she didn't want to please men, but she was fascinated by the Buddhist scriptures taught by passing monks; And because her husband owed debts, she was sold as gambling debts to the lowest "nail shed" on the edge of the city. Although she was beaten, scolded and abused by guests and tortoises every day, she couldn't protect herself, but she paranoidly recognized a lame When the yellow dog is his son, even if he is hungry, he still insists on giving him a bite to eat...
This is just the beginning. Xu Weixin doesn't know what kind of ending Qiao Jing wants to arrange for these women, but he has a hunch that whether it's the famous prostitutes in the book or the bottom prostitutes, they may not end well in the end.
Even the title Yan Heqing gave to this book, "All Beings Crossing", Xu Weixin had been thinking about it for a long time.
Who is the Buddha crossing all sentient beings?
In other words, are these women really counted among the ranks of "living beings" by the world?
Are they human, ghosts, or just a tool in the eyes of men, a symbolic symbol?
What will they experience next?Will there be good people to save them from the fire and water?How are these characters related to each other?
Xu Weixin didn't know.
But he wants to know so badly!
He is in a kind of situation now, he knows that he will be tangled and uncomfortable for a while after reading it, but if he can't read the following, it will be even worse, it will be like being pricked by a needle, and he will feel uncomfortable all day.
"Chief editor, have you thought about it yet?"
Since Xu Weixin did not make a decision for a long time, other members of the newspaper did not dare to publish this novel privately. They sent someone over, walked to Xu Weixin's desk, and asked cautiously: "What's next Monday? In the newspaper, should we publish this article or not?"
If it is published... What kind of consequences will it have at that time, even if Xu Weixin has worked in the newspaper industry for many years, it is completely unpredictable.
You must know that the reason why the current business of opening a brothel is legal is not only because it is an absolute profiteering industry, but also because it must be well-known within the government.Qiao Jing's book is equivalent to a blatant slap in the face, directly tearing off their fig leaf!
Everyone knows that the emperor's new clothes are intended to hide the truth, but no matter when, the person who takes the lead in revealing the truth is doomed to bear more verbal criticism.And if it is put into reality, once the top blames it, not only the author Yan Heqing will be unlucky, but even their newspaper office will be implicated. Suspending business for rectification is a trivial matter.
Xu Weixin hesitated for a long time, and finally even the cigar in his mouth was almost burned out, and then he managed to recover.
He clutched the manuscript tightly in his hand, stared at the three big characters of "All Beings Crossing" in the title, and decided to go all out, gritting his teeth:
"send!"
He promised someone that today he would be a Buddha who cut meat and fed it to eagles, and accompanied Yan Heqing to cross the world for once!
When he woke up, it was already the afternoon of the third day.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, and the eyelids of the man lying on the bed trembled twice, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that catches the eye is the ceiling above the head.
