Chapter 150

　　a certain university.

　　"Have you heard? "Contagion" is published!"

　　"The "Contagion" published in the Hope Monthly? Isn't it finished?"

　　"It's over now! It's on sale!"

　　"I saw it in the newspaper too... I'll go buy it right away!"

　　"I will go with you."

　　"Buy me a copy too."

　　...

　　A boarding school.

　　"I went to the teacher's office just now and heard the teacher say that "Contagion" has been published!"

　　"Really? I've been wanting to see the back!"

　　"What to do? We won't be home until Saturday!"

　　"I'm going to ask the teacher for leave. I will go out to buy books at noon today. Does anyone want it?"

　　"I want it!" "I want it too!" "And me!"

　　...

　　The story of "Contagion" looks quite scary. While the protagonist is looking for a cure, he must also prevent people from being infected. At the same time, people around him will be infected from time to time...

　　The detailed description and tense rhythm will make readers feel that their whole heart has been pulled, and it is precisely because of this that everyone wants to read it more and more.

　　There are more and more people buying "Contagion" in the bookstore. Fortunately, Huo Ershao has a large handwriting, and a total of 50,000 copies have been printed, so no matter how many people buy it, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell the book.

　　Fu Huai'an went to buy books early in the morning, and bought five books in one go. After buying, he brought them to school, not only for himself to read, but also for his classmates to read.

　　"This book is so beautiful!"

　　"I think this book is terrible. After reading this book, I cleaned the house specially."

　　"Me too, I have my nails cut clean now."

　　"I told my parents to pay attention to hygiene."

　　"The more I am afraid, the more I want to see..."

　　The students talked, and gathered in twos and threes to read, but there were so few books that many people couldn't read them.

　　"Let's find someone to read it!" Someone suggested, and everyone agreed.

　　In the end, a person who spoke Chinese very standard was pushed onto the stage and began to read the content of "Contagion" that had not been published in the Hope Monthly.

　　Everyone listened carefully.

　　It's not just the students of Ping An Middle School who are reading this book, even the storyteller in the teahouse is reading it right now.

　　Most of the people at this time were illiterate, but they also knew stories such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West", and this depended on watching dramas and listening to Mr. Shu.

　　These books, especially "Journey to the West", are read exactly according to the reading, and many people actually don't understand them, so storytellers usually explain them in dialects according to their own understanding.
