The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 18 Borrowing Books
After school.

"Brother Xun, do you have any books, lend me a look."

"Yes, you come back with me, and I'll get it for you."

Runtu decided to read more books.

He needs to make good use of the hundred times flow rate of the space.

Diligence can make up for weakness, as long as I am in the space, I have dozens or hundreds of times more time than others. With these extra time, no matter what I do, I have to be better than others.

At this time, Runtu had no money, otherwise he could go to the bookstore to buy it.

Since you can't buy it for the time being, then borrow it.

Follow Brother Xun to the Zhou family compound.

Knowing that the two are classmates now, the housekeeper of the Zhou family no longer stopped Runtu.

Soon arrived at Brother Xun's study.

The current Zhou family is a big family in the county, but the situation will gradually get worse in the future.

Runtu didn't dare to change brother Xun's situation casually. If without these experiences, the world-famous writer had some butterfly effects, it would be a very big loss.

There are many books in the study.

Brother Xun took a copy and said, "Brother Runtu, here it is, this is my favorite book. I have saved money for a long time and let A Chang's mother buy it."

It is his most precious book.

Runtu took it and looked at the name of the book above, "Shan Hai Jing", which was a bit interesting.

It depicts some bizarre things.

After reading this book, there are traces of frequent flipping, but it is very well preserved.

Brother Xun loves books very much and likes to copy books.When he reads, he always wipes the table clean to see if his fingers are dirty.Books cannot be placed on a dirty table.Dirty hands will not turn the pages of the book.

What I dislike the most is the habit of scratching the page with a finger, making the corner of the book curl up, and then pinching him to turn the page.

I also specially prepared a box to hold the books, and put mothballs in it to prevent mosquitoes from biting.

Although he has so many habits, Brother Xun didn't say anything, but just said to Runtu, "Brother Runtu, this is my favorite book, return it to me after you finish reading it."

"Thank you. Brother Xun, do you have any other books? I want to read a few more at a time."

He froze for a moment, maybe he didn't like the book, "Yes, I'll get it for you again."

Soon two more books were brought over.

Runtu took the book and took a look, good guy, a Journey to the West and a Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

No wonder Brother Xun, who is very smart, has a rough road to being a scholar.

In this day and age, reading such a book is tantamount to playing with things and losing one's mind.

But maybe it is precisely because of reading such books that my mind is more open, and I have the greatest writer and thinker in the future.

Books are good books, but they are not what Runtu urgently needs now.Now he was reading books with a purpose, and said, "Brother Xun, do you have anything else? For example, "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius" and so on."

"Yes, you wait."

He was stunned, he didn't expect Brother Xun to ask for this kind of book, which surprised him too much.

He also reads these books, but they are far less interesting than "Shan Hai Jing", Journey to the West, and Romance of the Gods.

When reading Shan Hai Jing, I can go without food for three days and three nights, but the Analects of Confucius is not good, and I will get sleepy after reading it for a long time.

He quickly brought over a few more copies, "Brother Runtu, take a look at these. They are the Analects you want, Mencius, and this "Historical Records" and "Zuo Zhuan."

Runtu's eyes lit up when he saw them.

There are still many connections between these books and the imperial examinations.

"Great."

Runtu brought over five books, the Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Shi Ji, Zuo Zhuan, and Shan Hai Jing.

Prepare to read these five books first.

As soon as I got back to the inn, I entered the space to read a book.

There is more time in space.

The key is that you will not know the feeling of fatigue when you come to the space.

Although there are five.

But that word count is relatively small.

Shiji has more words, but only one of them.

Not much.

At the beginning, Runtu just glanced at it.

Take a look at the general content.

Although it is traditional.

Most of the words are still known.

There are also some unknown words.

I recorded it all and wrote it on rice paper.

The proportion of unknown words is still very small.

Years are unknown in space.

Soon, the five books, with hundreds of thousands of characters, were all read by Runtu.

After reading the first time, start intensive reading again, trying to understand.

If you want to recite it, it will take a lot more time.

You don’t have to recite other things for the time being, but you must memorize the Analects and Mencius in full.

There are not many words.

After arriving in the space, Runtu's consciousness is clear, and his memory feels much stronger.

Read it once and remember the general idea.

When I read it five times, I felt that all the content in the book was in my mind.

Thinking of this, Runtu was a little excited.

Although I am older.

But according to the progress of this study, Jinshi dare not say that those are rare, and there may not be one in a county.

However, as far as Juren is concerned, Runtu feels that he can give it a go.

It still belongs to the era of the Qing Dynasty, and it is still the time when everything is inferior and only the students are high-study. If you have an official status, your life will be comfortable.Calculating the time, there are still more than ten years left in the Qing Dynasty.

Time is completely unknown in space.

It just feels like a long, long time has passed.

The Analects let me recite the whole text.

It is very fast to memorize a book in one day.

Runtu was quite satisfied, and then his consciousness withdrew from the space.

Open the window of the room and look at the street.It was still daytime at this time, and it seemed that only an hour or two had passed in real time.

That means that I stayed in the space for nearly two hundred hours.

Looking at the sky is still early.

There is no more money in hand.

Runtu went to the pharmacy again.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy still had some impressions of Runtu.

"Boss, I still have some garden ginseng here, would you take it?"

"Of course it is accepted, little brother, the price is still the same as last time."

"no problem."

This time I got more money.

Because this time the garden ginseng has been in space for a relatively long time, and the year is relatively long.

Two pieces were sold for eight taels of silver.

With this amount of money, a total of eight taels of silver, now I can live a very comfortable life in the county.

He thought that when the school was on vacation, he would go home by himself and give some money to the family.

After leaving the pharmacy, I went to the bookstore.

I spent five taels of silver directly, bought a few books and a lot of paper.

I used up more than half of it at once, which made Runtu feel that this study is really a waste of money.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to study.

Some students copy more books, and the paper they use is not so good, so the cost will be much smaller.
