At night, Jiangcheng City's Xicheng District.
Bus No. 589 steadily stopped next to the platform. Accompanied by the sound of the pneumatic door, several passengers nimbly jumped down from the rear door that had just opened, and more people squeezed into the already crowded carriage from the front door.
Similar scenes happened here every day.
Wang Pu carried his backpack and passed through the crowd still waiting for the next bus on the platform. Under the guidance of the dim yellow street lights, he quickly walked towards the side street not far away.
A busy day of work, coupled with the toss and turn on the subway to the bus route, had already made him very tired, but the joy and relaxation of returning home also made his steps exceptionally light.
Walking through the side street and into an alley, Wang Pu returned to his rented apartment.
He had just moved here half a month ago.
This place used to be completely a suburb, but with the continuous expansion of the urban cluster, the original villages and towns were swallowed up one by one, but some villages should have been temporarily preserved for various reasons, thus forming the so-called urban village.
Everyone knew that urban villages would die out sooner or later, whether it was for the needs of the city's appearance or real estate development, they had no reason to continue to exist.
The villagers were actually very willing to be demolished, provided that there was enough compensation. Getting rich from demolition was never a fairy tale, and in order to obtain more compensation, they built privately in the village.
The additional illegal buildings could not be left empty, so the villagers rented out the houses after simple renovation, using the low rent to accept a large number of people who worked hard in the city.
Wang Pu was one of them.
The reason why he moved here was because the price of his original rented place had risen.
Although this place was a little remote, and it would take an extra half an hour on the way back and forth to work, the advantage was that it was cheap enough. Although it was an illegal room, it had water, electricity, broadband, and a separate bathroom.
Wang Pu thought about it. Before the urban village was demolished, he would always live here.
Taking out the key to open the door, Wang Pu turned on the lights on the wall. The soft and bright light instantly dispelled the darkness, illuminating the messy room.
A bed, a wardrobe, a computer desk, and a computer chair. The furniture in the room was very simple, and because Wang Pu was still single, it inevitably looked a little messy.
He threw his bag on the bed, took off his clothes, and rushed into the bathroom to wash off the stinky sweat from squeezing in the car.
After showering, Wang Pu's stomach was rumbling with hunger.
There was no kitchen in this rented house. If he wanted to cook, he had to go to the public kitchen downstairs. Wang Pu was too lazy to go there. He directly took the electric kettle and boiled some water. Then, he took out a bucket of instant noodles and two sausages from the closet.
The dinner of the City Ant Tribe was just that simple.
While waiting for the instant noodles to be ready, Wang Pu sat on the chair and turned on the computer.
In the past, when he was living in his old rented apartment, he usually went to the Internet cafe to surf the net at night. Now that he had moved to a new house, although there was an Internet cafe nearby, it was not as convenient as before. So, he simply asked the landlord to pull an Internet cable and directly surf the net at home, which saved a lot of money.
Wang Pu skillfully opened a few book websites. First, he browsed through his account bookshelf to see if there were any updates.
Different from many of his peers, and similar to many of his peers, Wang Pu's biggest hobby is not to play games or chat on QQ, but to read online novels.
In countless lonely nights, it was a wonderful online novel that accompanied him, so that he would not lose himself in the confusion of life and the heavy depression of boring and busy work, and so that he could obtain his own happiness.
The most important thing is that this kind of happiness does not need to be obtained by paying a high price. Wang Pu has always subscribed to online novels. In addition to directly topping up, he has received free coins through various activities on the website. A month's consumption of reading books is completely affordable.
According to his habit, Wang Pu first signed in at several book websites and completed the daily tasks, so that he would have a lot of reading coins, and then he would subscribe to the updates of several books. The money he spent was very limited.
It was a pity that the few books that he liked had very few updates today. Wang Pu finished reading the latest chapter in two or three minutes. He was quite depressed and posted a comment in the comment section of one of the books to urge him to update.
Hurry up and update!
After clicking OK to publish, Wang Pu angrily closed the current webpage.
At this time, the instant noodles were almost soaked. He tore off the opening paper and wolfed down the ham sausage, but his eyes were still staring at the screen. One hand was still holding the mouse, and he randomly clicked on the browser's favorite website link.
The page of Waves Blog appeared in front of Wang Pu.
Wang Pu had registered his own blog account a long time ago, but he usually did not use it much. He only looked at all kinds of gossip on it, and followed a few famous web authors and popular stars in the entertainment industry.
Since he had nothing to do, since he had opened the blog, Wang Pu simply continued to click on the message prompts in his account to see what the people he followed had done.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
"What the f * ck!"
Wang Pu cursed with a mouthful of instant noodles in his mouth, and the chewed noodles sprayed out from his mouth.
"What the f * ck!"
He quickly swallowed the noodles, and hurriedly pulled out a tissue to wipe the noodles sprayed on the monitor.
At this moment, on Wang Pu's computer screen, there was a blog post that had just been published, and the blogger was the author of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" — — Ancient Memory!
You can't blame Wang Pu for being so shocked. First of all, he was a hardcore fan of "Ancient Memory" and one of the earliest readers. Not only did he buy the original physical book of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", but he also read the book at least three times!
In Wang Pu's hands, there were five thousand fan and reader groups of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". He usually didn't use QQ much. If he used QQ, he basically ran to the group to talk about the plot of the book with his friends.
Of course, there was also the author.
It's just that "Ancient Memory" was too mysterious. So far, he had never appeared in public, and he didn't even know whether he was a man or a woman. There was very little information on the blog. At most, there were two or three new blog posts a month, and there was not much useful content.
But the new blog post that just appeared on the blog of "Ancient Memory" was different.
"Ancient Memory" was about to release a new book!
At this moment, Wang Pu had the urge to burst into tears.
He wanted to sing loudly: "I've waited for a long time, and finally today. I've dreamed for a long time, and finally realized my dream!"
This song was a new song by the King of Xiangjiang, Liu Gangsheng. It was written and composed by Lu Chen, and it was very popular in the mainland recently.
Wang Pu felt that these lyrics really matched his mood at the moment!
