For the first time, Hoshino Sora felt his own insignificance and the height of books. When he was in the Kudo family's study, he really felt like he was drowning in the ocean of knowledge.
"I don't open a bookstore, it's because my father is a mystery novelist, and these books are his materials." Kudo Shinichi explained.
"Material?" Hoshino Sora couldn't understand, it was beyond the scope of his knowledge, and then he pushed all the things he couldn't understand to the mysterious side, "I understand, your dad is also a magician!"
"Huh? Hahahahaha, there are no magicians in this world, only magicians!" Kudo Shinichi laughed loudly, "Mystery novelists specialize in writing mystery novels, just like Conan Doyle."
He smiled as he went to get the complete works of Sherlock Holmes.
Hoshino Sora was shaking his head in the study room, looking at the words marked on the sides of the books on the bookshelf. He was almost dazzled by the words. There were too many, so many books... can anyone really read them all?
And he said he was not a magician!
Anyway, if he were allowed to read, he might not be able to finish a book in a year. And with so many books in the study, how many years would it take to finish them? He might even die of old age without finishing them.
"Hoshino, come and take a look, this is a complete set of Sherlock Holmes novels." On the floor to the left of the study desk, Kudo Shinichi placed a stack of thick books. One look at the material on the surface of the books revealed that these books were not valuable. Fei.
You must know that the more exquisite and gorgeous the surface of a book is and the excellent texture, the more precious it is. Most people will not buy it, except for rich people or die-hard fans.
However, if you think about it for a moment, you will realize that for a person who can buy land and build a big house and villa in the world, it would be too unsatisfactory if the books in his collection are all street stalls with low-quality paper.
Hoshino Sora looked at the pile of books, his eyes twitching wildly. He preferred to practice martial arts instead of reading, "What, Kudo, didn't you say you were reading while eating snacks?"
"Ah, wait a minute, watch first, I'm going to get some snacks." Kudo Shinichi immediately went to get some snacks.
Xing Yekong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had some snacks, which was not a loss.
He walked over, squatted down, opened a book at random, then tilted his head, tilted his head, tilted his head again, frowned, frowned, frowned again, and finally closed the book.
It's not that he can't understand it, he can actually understand it. Well, strictly speaking, it's half-understanding, because he doesn't know half of the words in a sentence. Even if he knows them all, he may not be able to understand the sentence. What means.
Generally speaking, if you force him to watch it, he will just watch it lonely.
"I brought it." Kudo Shinichi came quickly with a large plate of senbei, put it on the floor, sat down and greeted, "Let's read a book."
"Uh... Kudo, don't you have books with pictures and words at home? I still prefer to read those kind of books." Hoshino Sora scratched his head and picked up a piece of senbei and put it into his mouth.
"..." Kudo Shinichi was stunned for a moment, "There used to be some, which were used for literacy when I was very young, but they may not exist anymore. Wait, the books with pictures and words you are talking about don't mean comics, right?"
Hoshino Sora's eyes lit up, "Do you still have comics at home?"
"No." Kudo Shinichi shook his head, "I don't read comics."
"Don't you think there are no comics about Sherlock Holmes?" Sora Hoshino asked unwillingly.
"There are still comics about Sherlock Holmes?" Kudo Shinichi looked puzzled. "I only know that there are film and television drama versions and radio drama versions. When will there be a comic version?"
"Movies and TV shows? Then let's watch movies and TV shows! Do you have one at home?" Hoshino Sora became excited when he heard this. Compared to boring novels, movies and TV series naturally attracted him more.
"Movies and TV series..." Kudo Shinichi looked confused, "I have some in my family, but what can I say about the movie and TV series adaptations? It doesn't have the same flavor as in the novels. I'm not saying that the actors' acting is not good, but it doesn't fit in well. My fantasy about Sherlock Holmes, do you understand what I mean? Although the film and television adaptation has the story in the novel, which is also very exciting, after watching it more, I feel that there are flaws and there is no sense of urgency like when I read the novel."
It can be heard that he has great opinions on the Sherlock Holmes in movies and TV series, because the image of Sherlock Holmes is so deeply rooted in his heart that when others come to play this character, he will always look at it with the most critical eyes. .
In this way, even actors with first-rate acting skills can be found fault with by him. What's more, the plot needs to be adapted to some extent, which would make it even less interesting.
"Let's watch movies and TV shows. To be honest, I can't understand novels. I don't know many words." Hoshino Sora told the truth and didn't feel embarrassed.
If you don’t know it, you just don’t know it. Do you insist on pretending to understand it and pretending to read it seriously?
Kudo Shinichi heard this, looked at him, and then suddenly realized, "I see, it's my fault, I ignored your age. It is indeed difficult for people like you who don't often come into contact with the Sherlock Holmes series to watch it directly. Well, watching movies is indeed It’s more intuitive than reading a novel directly. Okay, let’s go to the movie theater and go to the cinema.”
He moved the books on the floor to the desk, and then took Hoshino Sora to the theater.
Hoshino Sora picked up the plate of senbei that had been left on the ground and followed suit while eating.
In this way, the two of them watched the Sherlock Holmes series in the movie theater.
"This is a movie made five years ago. It was made by people from the Niu Kingdom, so the original version is purely in English. But I also have a Mandarin version here, but it sounds very weird. By the way, do you know English... No, Then let’s get the Mandarin version.”
"This movie is adapted from "A Scandal in Bohemia" and there will be a very powerful woman in it..."
"Look, that is the woman whom Holmes respectfully calls 'the lady'! She is also the only woman who defeated Holmes."
"By the way, does this woman look familiar to you? Haha, she is actually my mother."
"..."
Kudo Shinichi's mouth seems to be restless, or in other words, when it comes to Sherlock Holmes, he always has the urge to speak out. Even when watching a movie, he can still interject a sentence from time to time and express his own opinions. , or spoilers.
Originally, he was no longer interested in Sherlock Holmes movies, but when he watched it with his new friends today, he had a different feeling. It was unprecedented. This made him more interested and gradually became more interested.
Hoshino Sora tried his best to slow down the speed of eating snacks. He felt that it was his first time to be a guest at someone else's house and he couldn't eat too hard, otherwise he might not be able to eat it next time.
Although he is young, he still knows an idiom - fishing while draining the lake. This is what his uncle told him when he went fishing with his uncle. The reason why he can remember it is because his uncle said it very vividly. Fish will give birth to small fish, and when the small fish grow up, they will also give birth to small fish. As long as this cycle is not broken, There will never be enough fish to eat, but once the lake is exhausted and all the fish are caught, there will be no fish left to eat.
