Big Manga

Meng Huo returned to Ninghai in the afternoon before the release of "Weekly Youth". Because there was still a performance on the release day, Li Qin was afraid that he would be too tired, so he asked him to go home and rest for a night.

That night, Meng Huo received a call from Alice.

"Meng Huo, get up early tomorrow, and I'll take you to a place for a walk."

She said suddenly on the phone, which made Meng Huo very surprised: "What time tomorrow morning, where are you going? Don't you need to prepare for a performance?"

He knew that Alice was preparing for him to perform in Ninghai, but judging from her tone, it seemed that she wasn't talking about the performance.

"Wait at the gate of Jiayuan community at 7:30, don't worry about where you go, just follow my arrangement."

Alice answered with a smile, but her attitude seemed a bit tough for some reason, and she didn't even give Meng Huo a chance to continue asking. After she hung up the phone, Meng Huo became even more curious as she thought about how hard it was for her to be tough once. Tomorrow is the release date of "|优|优|优|小|说|Updated|New|Fast|Fast|..|Soul of Chess". Where do you want to take yourself?

Confused, Meng Huo fell asleep. The next day, he arrived at the gate of the community early at 7:20, but to his surprise, Alice was earlier than him. At this time, the red Porsche had already parked on the side of the road.

When Meng Huo walked over, the passenger door opened automatically.

"Good morning..." He sat up and saw Alice eating bread in the car: "Is there anything ready for me?"

"Yes, I thought you didn't eat, so let's get some food first."

Alice reached out and lifted a paper bag between the two of them. Meng Huo looked at the paper bag. There were some delicious-looking breads, desserts, and milk in it. He unceremoniously took out a pack of butter bread.

"This bread is good, where did you buy it?"

"A bakery outside my house."

The two chatted while eating, and it was exactly 7:30 after eating. Alice got out of the car and threw the garbage into the trash can, then returned to the car and drove south.

"Is this the way out of Ninghai? Where are we going?" Meng Huo asked strangely.

"suburb……"

Alice only answered two words.

Today is the release date of "Weekly Boys" and also the release date of "Soul of Chess". They passed by many bookstores along the way, and they could see the queues outside the bookstores - quite a remarkable achievement for ordinary cartoonists, But in the eyes of the two, they are not optimistic.

"Your response to the launch of your new comics this time has been dismal..."

"It seems so." Meng Huo smiled helplessly. Indeed, there were readers queuing up outside the shops they passed by. But there are not many of these readers, and they seem rusty. Seen from the road, the scene is very bleak.

Of course, this is not really bleak. Being able to discharge the store actually means that there are still many people in it. The number of these readers can already make others envious and jealous. But for He Xi, this was a bleak scene that he hadn't seen in several years.

You must know that it is summer now, and the bookstore in Ninghai opens at 6:30, an hour has passed, and it is the rush hour for work and school, the flow of readers should have reached the maximum at this time——Usually He Xixin comics Launch, at this time there will be a bustling queue outside.

But now it seems that the door is a little cold, and there are only two or three people outside some bookstores, which makes people feel that they may disappear at any time.

"It seems that the investigation in advance cannot be completely trusted."

Alice said that previous surveys showed that readers still have a strong desire to buy "Soul of Chess", but the current situation does not seem to be as strong as expected.

"But it's hard to say..."

She quickly denied her own words. In the comic "Soul of Chess", readers' desire to buy cannot be compared with other comics. Perhaps most readers will buy it, but it is a niche comic after all, even if readers want to buy it, they will not actively queue up early in the morning.

"You seem to have confidence in "Soul of Chess"?" Meng Huo couldn't help being surprised when he saw Alice denying herself, and he saw that Alice didn't show the slightest worry because of the situation of the bookstore along the way.

Alice smiled: "I watched "Soul of Chess" yesterday, do you think I have confidence?"

"..." Meng Huo was taken aback for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, a smile appeared on his face: "I think there should be."

He didn't mention this matter again, but was suddenly attracted by another thing. The Porsche suddenly drove onto a cross-sea bridge that couldn't see the other side. It was crowded, but here, the bridge to the outskirts of the city was unimpeded.

What caught Meng Huo's attention was the boundless ocean. The sun shone on the surface of the ocean, as if it could make people smell the warm sea water.

"It's beautiful..." Alice opened the car window, letting the sea breeze blow in along the car and boat, her long hair was blown up, and it glowed with a faint golden light in the sun.

Meng Huo took a light breath, the air was a little humid, and the seawater smelled of Alice's perfume, he smiled and said, "Is this the seascape you brought me to see?"

This is indeed an outstanding sight, but in Meng Huo's memory, his experience in the Far East is obviously more beautiful. Sitting on the train driving by the coast, the scenery along the way is jointly shaped by cherry blossoms, ocean and mountains—— Obviously more moving than the current scenery.

"Why, I didn't take you to see the scenery."

Alice smiled and said that she didn't bring Meng Huo here to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Although the scenery here is good, if you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery, Alice has more good places to go: "After crossing this bridge, our purpose The land is near."

She said, but... the bridge took them ten minutes to travel. After driving across the bridge, the scenery in front of me changed. Although the suburbs of Ninghai were not as numerous as the city center with numerous high-rise buildings, they were still bustling and lively.

Alice drove the Porsche and parked in front of a compound building.

"Orphanage..."

Meng Huo looked in amazement at the door plaque above the compound, "Ninghai Fifth Orphanage", which said so. Although it was different from the orphanage in his previous life, the word "orphanage" was very easy to understand.

"You want to adopt orphans?"

Meng Huo stared blankly at Alice.

"No, don't think about it, I just brought you here to have a look." Alice glared at him, then took out a pair of sunglasses and a hat: "Give me a dress, don't let them see your appearance clearly."

"Oh." Meng Huo dressed up suspiciously, and then followed Alice out of the car.

Alice made a phone call, and soon, an old woman came out and smiled at her: "Miss Alice, you haven't been here for a long time."

"Yes, mother-in-law." Alice greeted the woman, and then introduced Meng Huo, "This is a friend of mine. I'll take him to see."

The woman observed Meng Huo for a while, and although she was surprised by his appearance, she nodded, "Welcome, come in!"

She turned around and wanted to go back, but Alice stopped her again: "Wait, mother-in-law, let's take the present...you help me."

She glanced at Meng Huo, and then opened the rear door. Meng Huo had noticed that there were a lot of things on the back seat long ago, and he was not surprised, and helped Alice take out the presents. The two followed the old woman to the orphanage, but before they entered, they heard a loud noise.

"Don't grab, don't grab, come in order!", "Be careful, don't tear it, whoever tears it will have no food at noon!"

There were shouts from adults and noise from children. When Meng Huo walked in with Alice, he saw these children in the yard at once, and then he was stunned—"These children..."

The children in the orphanage are completely different from what he thought. It should be said that these children are different from ordinary children. Two children have broken hands, a girl has deformed legs, and there are several ugly boys-there are not many normal children. .

"It's like this in orphanages everywhere. Children with no brain and body problems and good looks are generally adopted, and the rest are disabled children who have no one to adopt. Many of them are directly abandoned by their parents." Alice whispered in Meng Huo's ear.

Meng Huo frowned slightly, those parents were so cruel.

At this time, the children noticed the arrival of the two, and the moment they saw Alice, they rushed over in a swarm: "Aunt Alice!"

Alice was surrounded by children in an instant, and Meng Huo almost laughed at the word 'aunt', but his eyes were attracted by the things these children were holding-"Weekly Boys, still today, why is there The manga is here?"

He remembered the yelling just now, could it be that the adults in the orphanage were distributing comic magazines to these children just now? Why?

"This is a free cartoon. Our orphanage has received fund support from the cartoonist Mr. He Xi." The old woman laughed when she heard Meng Huo's words: "The children like cartoons very much. Sex is very low, so we hope to give them one more choice and train them to draw."

"If you have a skill, even if you become a cartoonist's assistant in the future, they can survive..."

Meng Huo was taken aback. He looked at the scene in front of him. Alice was distributing pastries. The children around seemed to have never seen such beautiful pastries, and they all looked at her eagerly. But Alice first gave the pastry to the boy holding "Weekly Boy". He has only one hand. If he takes the pastry, he must put the magazine down.

"..." Meng Huo looked at the boy and found that his throat moved, but then he turned and ran away holding "Weekly Boy".

"This child is twelve years old. Although he has never been to school, he is very sensible. Since we hired some painters to teach painting, he has been studying seriously. He is very good at painting now, and he will be able to do it in two years. Went out to help."

The old woman smiled and said, "I heard that there is a shortage of people who can draw. Phoenix Company is willing to help these children find jobs as painters. It will be great if they can learn manga well."

Meng Huo turned to look at Alice, he thought he knew why Alice brought him here. (Want to know more exciting news about "Big Comics"?
