Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Is there a typographical error in Chapter 40?

Out of curiosity, Geng Yong wanted to tear the hole in the envelope a little bigger and then see what books were inside.

Anyway, there's already a hole in the envelope.

But his integrity as a squad leader prevented him from doing such a thing.

But my heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat, itchy and curious.

Because of this curiosity, when he delivered the registered letter to Cao Sheng's dormitory, he saw that Cao Sheng was not there, so he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he found a stool to sit down and chat with several people in Cao Sheng's dormitory. He wanted to wait for Cao Sheng to come back and ask Cao Sheng if he could let him see what books were in the envelope to satisfy his curiosity.

If these are really some books that are helpful for writing, he wants to write down the titles and buy two to read later.

If it was some novel, he would want to borrow one to read. He himself liked reading novels very much. Before going to college, he had read quite a few novels by Jin Yong and Gu Long.

only……

Today, Cao Sheng has not come back yet.

Geng Yong waited and waited, but Cao Sheng never showed up.

And his reluctance to leave gradually began to make people feel strange.

The first person who felt something was strange was Guan Zhi. He felt that the topics Geng Yong talked about with them were becoming more and more boring, and he seemed to be just making small talk. But Geng Yong still sat in their dormitory and refused to leave.

"Hey! Squad leader, I'm going to ask you a question, don't be angry!"

Guan Zhi couldn't help but ask.

Geng Yong nodded and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Go ahead!"

Guan Zhi: "Well, squad leader, do you have something else to do with Cao Sheng? I'm not trying to drive you away, I just think you seem to be waiting for him to come back. Do you have something to do with him?"

At this time, Wei Dongming, Pang Yunhai and others in the dormitory also looked at Geng Yong curiously.

They also noticed Geng Yong's abnormality.

Geng Yong glanced at them, then looked at the registered letter on Cao Sheng's desk, and laughed at himself, "Yeah, that's right! I want to wait for him to come back."

"You have something to ask? If I can help you, just tell me! If I can, I will definitely help you!"

Guan Zhi's curiosity was aroused.

Geng Yong shook his head. "It's nothing serious. I was just a little curious about what book Cao Sheng had in the envelope. I wanted to wait for him to come back and open it, and see if I could take a look at it. If it's a novel or a book about writing, hehe, I want to borrow one from him to read for two days. That's all. I didn't expect that he hasn't come back yet, and I don't know where he went."

These days, they don’t have cell phones, so there’s no other way to get in touch.

"what book?"

Guan Zhi subconsciously looked at the registered letter on Cao Sheng's desk.

When he saw that there was a thumb-sized hole in the envelope of the registered letter, he immediately stood up and walked over out of curiosity, picked up the registered letter, propped open the hole in the envelope with his fingers, and peeked inside from various angles.

After looking for a while, he suddenly saw some small golden words.

When he saw three of the words clearly, his eyes widened and his expression became very surprised.

Geng Yong and the others were all looking at Guan Zhi.

Seeing Guan Zhi's expression become so surprised, their curiosity was also aroused.

Geng Yong: "Guan Zhi! What did you see? Why are you so surprised?"

Pang Yunhai: "Yes! Second brother, did you see it?"

Wei Dongming: "Guan Zhi! Why do you look like you saw a beautiful woman taking a bath? Are you an award-winning actor? Are you so good at acting?"

"A little dust!" Guan Zhi looked at Geng Yong and the others and said these three words with a surprised expression.

But this not only failed to resolve Geng Yong and the others' doubts, but instead made their doubts worse.

"What do you mean? What did you see?"

Geng Yong asked as he stood up and walked over curiously.

Wei Dongming: "That's right! Guan Zhi, if you have anything to say, please speak clearly! Don't keep us in suspense!"

Pang Yunhai: "That's right! I hate people who only finish half of their sentences."

When Guan Zhi saw Geng Yong coming over, he quickly handed him the envelope, his finger still holding the hole in the cover, motioning Geng Yong to come closer and take a look.

He explained hastily, "A little gray is just a little gray! I saw the three characters 'A little gray' on the cover of this book. Oh, and below these three characters, there is also a character '著'. I remember that Cao Sheng's pen name seemed to be 'A little gray in the Central Plains', right? Am I right? This, this can't be Cao Sheng's sample book, right?"

Pang Yunhai, Wei Dongming, Zhai Jun and others were all stunned when they heard this.

Then, they all reacted.

Pang Yunhai suddenly stood up and strode over. "Is this true? Hasn't his book been published yet? How come the book was sent to me? Let me see! Let me see it quickly!"

Zhai Jun jumped out of bed, hurriedly put on the slippers beside the bed, and ran over.

"Let me see! Is it real? I haven't even seen what the sample book looks like!"

Wei Dongming hesitated for a moment and walked over here.

At this time, Geng Yong squinted at the hole in the envelope, and his expression changed. "A little gray? It really is a little gray. It looks like this is really Cao Sheng's sample book... But, this is traditional Chinese, right? Why is it printed in traditional Chinese?"

Before he finished speaking, Pang Yunhai leaned his head forward and looked into the cave with squinted eyes.

One by one.

After a while, Pang Yunhai, Zhai Jun, Wei Dongming and others looked into the cave entrance one after another.

Everyone has a different reaction after watching it.

Pang Yunhai frowned, "Really a little gray? It is indeed traditional Chinese characters! What era is this? Why are we still using traditional Chinese characters?"

Zhai Jun looked puzzled. "Is it really a traditional Chinese character? I recognize the capital '壹', but is the one behind it a traditional Chinese character for '点'? Hmm, it seems so."

Wei Dongming raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This book can't be filled with traditional Chinese characters, right? If it were, who would understand it? Did the publisher make the wrong font? This is a joke!"

……

A few minutes later, Cao Sheng came back.

His hair had obviously become shorter. The reason why he came back so late today was because his hair had grown longer recently and he just had a haircut.

Just went to get a haircut.

Why is everyone looking at me in such surprise?
Cao Sheng, who had just walked into the dormitory, was a little confused when he saw everyone looking at him in surprise. He subconsciously raised his right hand and touched his hair. "What's wrong? Is my haircut ugly? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Pang Yunhai's eyes were complicated. "It seems your sample book has been sent, but the publisher seems to have printed the wrong font."

Guan Zhi: "Yes! Your pen name is printed in traditional Chinese characters. I wonder if the main text of the book is also printed in traditional Chinese characters."

Geng Yong: "Cao Sheng, you should open it and take a look! If there is a mistake in it, I think you should report it to the publisher immediately. Otherwise, how can you sell a book with all traditional Chinese characters? Don't you think so?"

Zhai Jun: "Third brother! Hurry up and open it and take a look! Today's publishing houses are so sloppy that they can even print traditional Chinese characters. Isn't this funny?"

Wei Dongming: "Haha, Cao Sheng, is the publishing house you found this time a regular one? So unreliable?"
