Chapter 211 Selling Blood for the First Time!

Originally, readers had high expectations for Lao Thief, which was based on popularity.

Nowadays, the entire literary world is paying close attention to the old thief!

There was not much time between the release dates of "Alive" and "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood".

Just like in the movie world, Lin Qiu cannot just make literary films.

In the world of novels, it is also impossible for Lin Qiu to just bring novels with such serious themes.

But these two books are rare masterpieces, and they are also worth discussing together.

…

"Should I buy "The Story of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood"?"

This issue has become a point of confusion for many fans of the old bandits.

To a certain extent, the subject matter of "Alive" is not attractive enough to many readers who like fantasy novels, but Lao Ze's books are indeed exciting enough.

"Buy it!"

"I have supported the old thief for so long, there is no way I am only missing this one! I have forgotten the oath we made together. We will support the old thief no matter what and dote on the old thief!"

"That's right! There are too few authors as productive and conscientious as Lao Zei, let alone such a masterpiece. Even if you buy it and collect it, you have to support it!"

Some old readers who were hesitant suddenly thought that it was right when they heard this. When they first entered the world of physical books, they faced all kinds of doubts and ridicules. Now they have finally started to move forward. These old books Can fans still support the old thief’s book?

What's more, a book of the quality of "Alive" is quite sincere, which shows that the old thief is constantly climbing towards a higher peak in the literary world and has not stopped here!

"Have you forgotten "Seeking the Demon"? Even though the old thief has been pursuing the peak of literature, he still has not forgotten us Internet readers! How could we still hesitate?"

"Seeking Demons" has been steadily updated, and it has been updated for a year now.

Although there are not many updates, it seems that the old thief is taking care of the readers of online novels like them. After all, the old thief now has to create both comics and physical books, which is very stressful in itself.

…

Can "Xu Sanguan Sell Blood" still create a sales miracle?

The horror sales of "Alive" stem from the novel's genre not being disclosed.

But this type of book is not a book that can sell well, even if it is an old thief...

Just as readers on the Internet are discussing it in full swing.

September 21st is the release date of "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood"!

Too empty?

Thousands of loyal fans of the old thief will tell you that this situation does not exist at all, especially in Xiazhou!

Bookstores across Xiazhou are still crowded with people.

The high-quality output and the rise of the animation industry in the past few years have allowed the old thief to accumulate a group of loyal fans in Xiazhou. Even if these fans don't like reading this type of novels, there is still no problem in coming to support them.

And what if "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" is quite exciting and different from "Alive"?

"boss!"

"Boss! Let's watch the super cool "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood"!"

"Here we go!"

"Quine up, queue up! Everyone consciously queues up!"

…

Zhang Dehua saw that there was still a long queue outside the bookstore, and he kept sighing in his heart:

"This old thief!"

"I'm afraid I now have the appeal of books at the first level in Xiazhou..."

After the popularity of "Zhu Xian", the "Harry Potter" series and the film and television adaptation of "Sword and Fairy 1" and "Sword and Fairy 3", the fans accumulated by the old thief have undergone a qualitative change.

In the entire Xiazhou, there is more than one literary master who has achieved impressive results. There are three people who have won the "Jiuzhou Highest Literary Award", and there are more than one or two best-sellers with sales of over 100 million.

But the cohesion of this kind of book fans, the cohesion of old thief book fans is not empty at all, the main focus is traffic!

…

"The Story of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood".

When Zhu Xiahua got this book, which was thicker than "Alive", he couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

"Dad, I bought the book."

"Well, leave it alone and don't disturb me in the afternoon."

"good."

Zhu Xiahua made a cup of tea, sat in the study, and carefully opened the books. Opened the first page.

[Xu Sanguan is a cocoon delivery worker at a silk factory in the city. On this day he returned to the village to visit his grandfather. 】

…

"Third person."

"Completely different way of writing."

Zhu Xiahua murmured, and the beginning of the story directly introduced the protagonist of this work, Xu Sanguan.

This simple and direct writing method is similar to "Alive".

But what is different from "Alive" is that this one is written from a third-person perspective. From a God's perspective, if "Alive" is more like a substitute, "Xu Sanguan" is more about narration.

Xu Sanguan's grandfather looked a little stupid. Even Xu Sanguan's father had died early and he didn't know it. When he spoke, saliva would remain from the corners of his mouth.

"Huh."

The first paragraph at the beginning of the novel, get straight to the point!

["My son, are your bones strong?"]

["Sturdy." Xu Sanguan said, "Grandpa, I am not a fool..."]

[His grandfather continued: "My son, do you often sell blood?"]

[Xu Sanguan shook his head: "No, I never sell blood."]

…

Why did "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" still attract so many readers to buy it when it was first released? In addition to the old thief's own reasons, the title of the book is also an important factor.

Selling blood?

What does selling blood mean?

Why sell blood?

In modern society, the term "selling blood" has almost disappeared, and more people say "donating blood".

For young people, this is an unfamiliar term.

In the first chapter, Xu Sanguan, who is also unfamiliar with "selling blood", stepped into this new world.

Donating blood is donating blood, and selling blood is selling blood.

And selling blood is very particular.

"After we sell blood, we will go to a restaurant to eat a plate of fried pork liver and drink two taels of rice wine..."

"Pork liver is a blood tonic, and rice wine is a blood-activating one..."

...

"I learned another little-known fact!"

"There is no such thing as selling blood now, but I just asked my dad, and he said that it did exist when I was a child, and there were blood heads in their village who specialized in collecting blood."

"It's also in the book!"

"The way the old thief writes this book is very different, with long paragraphs of dialogue!"

"Literary works are all written in this way, and there are not many fancy words."

A group of old thief fans who bought this book at the first time began to discuss it in full swing.

Just from the opening of "To Live" and "Xu Sanguan", "Xu Sanguan" is undoubtedly more attractive, because of the point of "selling blood", while the beginning of "To Live" is quite plain.

Selling blood is also very particular.

Not only do you need to replenish blood, but you also cannot urinate. According to the characters in the book, once you urinate, you will have drunk a few bowls of water in vain, and you will have less blood in your body.

In the first chapter, Xu Sanguan sold blood for the first time because he happened to meet a friend from the next village who was going to the city hospital to sell blood. He went to sell blood out of curiosity and to prove that he was strong!

After selling blood, he really got a plate of fried pork liver and two taels of rice wine!

And the money from selling blood was as much as 35 yuan!

You should know that in that era, 35 yuan was a huge sum of money. Even young people who didn't know about it before have learned about it after the release of "To Live".

Including Liu Lei.

According to grandma, even in later times, grandpa only made 48 yuan a month, and he was still a formal worker.

And the era in this book is obviously earlier.

"This is called blood and sweat money..."

...

Xu Sanguan was quite emotional. He earned sweat money in the factory, but earned blood money from selling blood.

Since it is blood money, it cannot be spent casually, but must be spent on big things.

What was a big deal for men in that era?

Of course, it was getting married!

For men in that era, there was no such thing as starting a family after establishing a career.

Unlike modern times, the cost of getting married was very high, requiring a lot of money, manpower, and material resources!

Without one million, it was really impossible to get married.

Thirty-five yuan is enough.

"Fourth uncle, I want to find a woman to marry."

Xu Sanguan said to his fourth uncle.

It is this kind of plot that attracts more and more readers, at least readers are looking forward to what the next story will be like.

And how this book will present the plot of "Xu Sanguan selling blood".

Zhu Xiahua was also attracted by the plot.

Compared with the first-person perspective of "To Live", the third-person perspective writing also has its advantages.

In terms of plot, the first-person perspective is a single-line plot, which can create a limited sense of conflict and is a bit thin.

The third-person perspective has strong coherence and can create a stronger sense of expectation!

At least now readers are looking forward to it. Did Xu Sanguan really get married with this thirty-five yuan?
