Honkai Impact: Join anti-entropy at the beginning to dominate the entertainment industry
Chapter 181 The Mysterious Veil
His classmates once recommended this novel to him and even lent him the paper book. However, he didn't have much interest, so the book remained on the bookshelf without reading it.
However, when he picked up the book, he glanced at the cover and vaguely remembered that the author of the novel was named Qian Jian...
Su Qingshan shook his head and threw these thoughts behind him. The most important thing now was to wait for the short story award to begin. He had been waiting for this moment for a full year.
Last year's champion work "Fish", he still often takes it out and reads it from time to time.
The image of the villain in the novel is portrayed to the core, making people enjoy reading it.
Su Qingshan hopes that such a work will appear again in this year's event.
Just after twelve o'clock at midnight, Su Qingshan immediately opened the website of the Short Story Award, scanned the catalog of entries, and soon saw several works by familiar authors.
These are all old authors of short stories. Their works have passed the test of time and are deeply loved by readers, so many people click on their works to read them for the first time.
Su Qingshan also looked at it eagerly.
In more than an hour, he had finished reading more than a dozen new works by old authors. As an old bookworm, Su Qingshan clicked his tongue and said that they were not enough.
He began to scan the catalog again, choosing titles that interested him to read.
He is very satisfied with the works of this session. Many of them are of good quality and look very enjoyable.
After all, it is for competition, and the authors have all produced works that they are satisfied with, so the works in the catalog will definitely not be too bad.
Unknowingly, Su Qingshan had been watching for three full hours. He also felt sleepy and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
He stretched and said, "It's almost time to go to bed."
Just as he was about to get up, he caught the name of the author of a work out of the corner of his eye.
"Thousand Swords? "Wolf"?"
"Is it the Qianjian who wrote "The Master"?"
He became a little curious, so he planned to watch another work and then go to bed.
Su Qingshan moved the mouse to click on the short story called "Wolf", and then looked at the screen interface with some surprise. He found that the work in front of him was only a short page.
"It's so short? Is it five hundred words?"
As we all know, even short stories are rarely less than 1000 words. Normal works are between 2000 and 5000 words. After all, if the number of words is too small, it will be very difficult to tell a complete story.
Of course, if the same story can be written in shorter words, it will further illustrate the strength of the author.
Su Qingshan also became interested: "Interesting, it's so short, what kind of story is it telling?"
The content of this novel is indeed very short and the story is very simple.
Su Qingshan finished reading it in less than half a minute, but he did not close the page and leave after reading it, but frowned and read it again carefully.
The story of this novel is so short that it can be summarized in a few sentences:
A butcher bought meat and went back at night carrying a bamboo basket with bones on his back. He met two wolves on the road. The butcher threw the bones to them, but after they finished eating, they followed one after another. Finally, the butcher followed the two wolves with his back against a pile of straw. The wolves confront each other.
After a while, a wolf left, and the remaining wolf sat on the ground and pretended to sleep. The butcher took the opportunity to jump up and kill the wolf. When he was about to leave, he found that behind the straw pile, the wolf that left before was digging a hole and thinking. He wanted to sneak up on the butcher from behind. Half of his body was already in the hole. The butcher started from behind and killed the remaining wolf as well.
At the end of the story, it seems that the author is summarizing, saying that the beast's strategy is just like that, it just adds to the laughter.
Is it that simple?
This is what Su Qingshan thought after watching it for the first time, but he always felt that something was wrong, so he watched it again for a second time.
Su Qingshan, who has a high level of literary literacy, noticed a slightly different flavor when he read it for the second time.
This short story uses a story about a butcher encountering a wolf and killing a wolf. It laughs at the evil wolf who plays tricks and reaps the consequences, praises the butcher's resourcefulness and bravery, and educates people to deal with enemies as ferocious, greedy and cunning as wolves. We must abandon our illusions and cannot compromise. To give in, only by daring to fight and being good at fighting can we win.
From another perspective, from the perspective of a wolf, it can also be understood as: Don't think that you can do whatever you want with your own ferocity and cunning. Doing so will only lead to self-destruction.
This should be enough to understand, and most readers will stop here.
but!
Su Qingshan asked himself again.
Is it really that simple? Doesn't it mean something else?
This level of reading comprehension can be achieved by junior high school students, but Su Qingshan still felt that this story contained a strange atmosphere, which lingered in his heart for a long time and could not be dissipated.
The whole story is shrouded in a hazy and mysterious veil.
Unable to untie this veil, Su Qingshan was restless! Couldn't sleep at all!
He carefully read the story from beginning to end several times, even reading it word by word and sentence by sentence.
Not to mention, Su Qingshan realized something again!
This story is about the contest between the wolf and the butcher. In the story, there are two main reasons why the wolf followed the butcher and did not attack directly.
The first reason is that the butcher has a machete in his hand. If the wolf rushes forward and attacks, it is likely to be injured, or even one of the two wolves will be killed. The cunning and selfish wolves knew this very well. None of them were willing to take the lead. After all, they would most likely be killed if they took the lead, so they kept following behind.
The second reason is that they want to look for opportunities, wait for the butcher to be exhausted or make a mistake, and then launch an attack to obtain the maximum value with the minimum benefit!
And there is a reason why the wolf still failed.
First, wolves only consider short-term gains.
They are willing to take great risks to hunt butchers, but the profit is only to fill their stomachs. If they do not hunt butchers, they may not actually starve to death. But once the hunting fails, their lives will be in danger, and the benefits and risks are simply not proportional!
This means that in the face of huge risks, we cannot blindly pursue profits and must be aware of potential dangers.
For the average person, this is already a good explanation.
