At the same time, the manuscript sent by Shimene was delivered to the editorial department of Yokohama Literary Society.

Today, Matsuura Fumiichi was bored reviewing the sent manuscripts as usual, not because he didn't want to read them seriously, but because he has been an editor for so many years, many articles can be known at a glance.

And all these years, the literary world is still at the same level as before, he has never made any mistakes, and he has never seen any surprises happen.

Matsuura opened the envelope casually, and frowned at the crooked handwriting. Now it really is true that all monsters and ghosts have started to write novels.

"From Slums to Millionaire", a tacky name, most of the titles of mainstream novels in the current literary world are selected from some words with connotations and profound meanings, such easy-to-understand names are only chosen by low-level authors.

!

But looking at it, Matsuura Wenyi's casual expression faded away. Unlike the handwriting, the content of this manuscript is really eye-catching.

The thick first three chapters of the novel describe the story of the male protagonist Yoshio Aoki and his frail and sickly sister living together in the slums by the sea.

The article described in detail the tragic situation of the slums, and the people's lives were miserable. The description of the two children struggling at the bottom of the society made Matsuura Fumiichi, who was used to the miserable situation in Yokohama, feel pity and intolerance.

But through the narration of some small things, Aoki Yangsheng's optimism and motivation, as well as his beautiful vision for the future, add a bit of warmth to this heavy text. The efforts of the brother and sister seem to have a little light in their miserable life. A painful and tenacious soul jumps out on the paper.

However, in Chapter 3, a character who makes people gnash their teeth with hatred appears on the stage. A cheap and hypocritical man kidnapped his sister and forced Aoki to work for him to die.

After a period of intense rivalry, the younger sister was taken away, and the broken family was broken even more, leaving only Yang Sheng Aoki sitting in the dilapidated hut with scars all over his body...

Perhaps every tough soul needs to be tempered, and every brilliant soul needs to struggle. Aoki Yangsheng met another child in the slum by chance, and after experiencing some things, they became companions.

With the support of his companions, Aoki decided to use his tactics to save his sister.

Fumi Matsuura turned to the next page.

?

Why not.

What is Aoki's plan?Why did it stop here?

Fumiichi Matsuura took the envelope and dug it out again, but found nothing...

But at this moment, his face was full of excitement. He knew that he had found a masterpiece.

Sure enough, there are no bad names in this world, only bad novels!

Excellent words have the power to move people's hearts!

Excellent novels can make people toss and turn!

He waved the manuscript, pushed open the door of the editor-in-chief's office and rushed in.

"Editor Sano! Quickly read this manuscript!"

The editor-in-chief of the editorial department of the Yokohama Literary Agency—Kenshin Sano became interested. It was the first time he saw Matsuura-kun so excited. You must know that Matsuura-kun is also an old man who has worked in the editorial department for more than ten years. He took the manuscript, Take a closer look.

After a while, Editor-in-Chief Sano let out a deep breath.

"Matsuura-kun, you must contact this author." Kenshin Sano's complexion turned red rarely, "This novel has great potential, and he can bring our Yokohama Literary Club to new heights!"

"You will be responsible for this matter!"

"Yes!"

……

In Yang's dormitory, Shi Meng's injury began to improve, and Jian Guanyi was able to get out of bed and walk by himself.

And now it has been four days since the submission of the manuscript. She has been thinking about the letter these days. She disguised herself well, borrowed Chuya's clothes, and tied her long hair with a hat. From a distance, she looked like an ordinary boy in Yokohama. .

Taking advantage of the darkness, Shi Meng went to the contact point of the residential building alone.

She took out the letters in the mailbox, threw away the useless advertisements, and opened the reply letter from the editorial department with slightly trembling hands.

After reading the reply, the girl let out a deep breath, her face gradually stained with excitement.

Very good!

The manuscript was accepted, and the editorial department seemed to be very optimistic about the novel and wanted to sign her immediately.

Shimeng wrote a reply letter according to the original plan: claiming that he was in Tokyo and it was inconvenient to return to Yokohama, and asked if the editorial department could contact her by email, and left an email address.

Then, they can prepare to leave Yokohama.

Afterwards, she calmly returned to Yang's small room, exchanged glances with Jian Guan, and then nodded to the siblings waiting there.

"I received a reply from the editorial department." She couldn't help smiling, "The manuscript has been accepted."

Akutagawa Gin covered his mouth and screamed softly, his eyes sparkled, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke's face also showed a rare look of excitement.

Seeing their expressions, Shi Meng's expression became even more moving.

"Next, let's go to Tokyo!"

……

Before leaving, Zhong also accompanied Shimeng to deal with some preparations.

Without further ado, Shi Meng and Jian Guanyi planned to leave by bus tonight.

When the matter was almost settled, it was already dusk, and the two of them walked along the dilapidated path of Leibo Street.

Leibo Street is really a magical place!

Whenever Shimeng comes here, he can't help sighing that the slum is just like its name, full of poverty, backwardness, numbness, and selfishness...

Compared with it, Leibo Street has its unique atmosphere, the dilapidation and casualties after the disaster, the barbaric chaos of the system, and the immigration of latecomers.

The aborigines and survivors mixed together to form large and small groups, and the people were a little more vicious and wild.

Her heart, which belongs to the creator, is also beating for it, and she wants to say something.

"Zhongye, what is it like when there is a heavy rain on Leibo Street?" Shi Meng was a little curious, the terrain of Leibo Street was so strange.

"The underground system here is basically destroyed." Nakahara Nakaya looked over, and he didn't know what was surging in his eyes. "In case of heavy rain, floods will accumulate in the center, and everyone will move to the edges and higher places."

That was also the craziest time for land grabbing, Chuya thought to himself.

Yang once encountered a severe flood. The typhoon brought heavy rain for a month on the coast of Yokohama.

He led the members of the sheep organization to seize the areas that were not affected by the disaster, and the sheep grew stronger that time.

"No one cares?" she asked in a low voice.

Zhong Yuanzhong also showed a mocking smile: "The government won't care about our life or death."

Shi Meng held his breath in his heart, a little angry and a little sad.

Seeing the dejected looks of the people around him, Chuya comforted in turn: "It's okay, I will protect everyone in the sheep, and the sheep will also help many children who are about our age."

"Are you alone?" She couldn't help but ask, "There will always be a day when you can't do anything."

Besides, the rest of the sheep don't think so, so don't take everything on your own shoulders.

"I have very powerful abilities," I have a good hand, Nakahara Chuya thought, "So, I will do my best to protect the sheep."

Although when he said this, there was still a bewildered look on his face.

Shimeng really began to admire Nakahara Chuya. In her view, Chuuya is also a person who shines in the dark, and Hao generously shines warmth on others.

Just like that night, Zhong also stood by her side without hesitation and became her light!

However, it will be tiring...

"Chuya, I mean, you are very strong." Shi Meng stared closely at Zhongya Zhongya's eyes, trying to engrave this meaning into the other person's mind.

"You are the most powerful supernatural being I have ever seen."

The battle that night, the strong gravity made her yearn for it, and she also hoped that she could become that kind of person.

"You can be more yourself." You should, think more about yourself.

For the group of people who dream of raising sheep from time to time, why do some people always take other people's contributions as a matter of course?

The sad and hateful feeling attached to a person made her feel chills.

"I……"

"I actually don't know what to do..."

The setting sun took away the sunlight from the earth little by little, Zhongyuan Zhong also watched the pale red brick walls turn red and black, and Leibo Street was dilapidated and barren.

The boy's heart also fell into this darkness. In fact, he still has one thing that he hasn't told anyone, and that is - the emergence of Leibo Street...

He was at a loss about his past, let alone how to think about the future.

Shi Meng glanced at the last sunset and sighed slightly.

In the past few days, she hesitated several times, and wanted to ask if she would like to leave with them, but what qualifications did she have?

Shirose and the others are to Chuya, just like Ryunosuke and Gin are to Shimeng, they are not only companions, but also family members.

Shi Meng felt that she couldn't speak, why should she interfere in other people's lives.

In fact, several times, Zhong also wanted to ask Shi Meng if he would like to stay in Yang, but he heard the other party's vision about the future, and the firmness and calmness made him yearn for it.

Zhong also held the mountain peach blossoms in his pocket that had not been returned to the other party, and smiled self-deprecatingly. Compared with a bright future, what good would it be for them to stay in the sheep.

So neither of them spoke again.

Before the sun was about to disappear, Shi Meng took advantage of the dim light and walked on the grid lines of the path, feeling a little melancholy.

Speaking of which, when she first came to this world, it was still winter, but now, the whole summer is coming to an end.

Time flies so fast!

When night fell, they returned to the base. Before entering the door, Shimeng asked suddenly: "By the way, Chuya, do you read the Yokohama Literature News?"

"The Poor Hundred" will be published in the newspaper soon, and the leading actor Yoshio Aoki is also the leader of an organization. I hope his relationship with his companions can give Chuya some ideas.

She really didn't know what else she could do for Chuuya.

……

In the middle of the night, after saying goodbye to Zhong Yuan Zhong Ye, the four of Shi Meng left overnight in a black bus.

The girl leaned against the car window, and the hot air she exhaled condensed into a mist. In a haze, she watched the five black buildings gradually shrink into a black spot.

Yokohama is really a deformed and great city.

Slums, Leibo Street, Mafia, Concessions...

All the ugliness and complexity are accommodated and accepted by this city. The advanced and backward are intertwined, and the invasion of foreign cultures makes Yokohama form its own unique cultural atmosphere.

And she was amazed and sighed, loved and hated.

She thought, she is also a Yokohama person!

The girl brushed away the fog with her fingers.

Everyone who leaves Yokohama will eventually come back here.

One day, she will come back too.
