Chapter 39
The small bookstore didn't even have a name, Qin Zan and Xiaomi stood outside the door, and didn't even hear any movement.

"Qin Zan, is there really someone here?"

"I don't know. I haven't been here either. It's okay. I'll try to knock on the door."

'Knock knock knock...'

After a brief knock on the door, it took a long time before there was a slight coughing sound from inside.

Xiaomi immediately looked up at Qin Zan, there was really someone inside.

"come in."

The two entered immediately.

The small bookstore is very messy, and there is no place to stand on the ground.

Clutter everywhere.

But the strange thing is that the books on the bookshelves are very neat.

And there is no dust at all.

"Whatever book you choose, just look at the bookshelf yourself."

The old man sitting in the corner kept his head down all the time, and his voice was low and scary.

Xiaomi shivered suddenly.

Then he stood behind Qin Zan.

It was dark in the room, and it was even darker in the corner where the old man sat.

Xiaomi always felt a little cautious and panicked.

And Qin Zan also seemed to feel that Xiaomi was a little scared, so he raised his hand and patted the other's arm lightly.

for comfort.

The movement is very light, so light that no one can notice it.

But Xiaomi's sense has always been keen, and he immediately felt the touch on his arm.

He couldn't help but look up at Qin Zan's back.

"Old man, we want to buy some books for elementary school students, can you recommend some books?"

Qin Zan really thought that Xiaomi was buying books for his younger sister, so he only mentioned buying books for elementary school students.

The old gentleman sitting in the corner didn't respond.

Qin Zan twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, then turned to look for it on the bookshelf.

Xiaomi, on the other hand, began to look across the bookshelf.

On the opposite side is a wall with a small bookshelf hanging on the wall.

The above are all books about human geography and history.

Because the light was a little dark, Xiaomi had a hard time seeing.

Just when she couldn't decide which one to buy.

Suddenly, the old man in the corner stood up slowly, walked to the wall, counted from the third floor above, on the right, and pulled out two or three books.

Then he walked straight towards Xiaomi.

The area of ​​the room is not big, and you can walk in front of the two of them in four or five steps.

Qin Zan quickly scanned the books in the hands of the old man and the other party, just when he was about to say that this was not the book he was looking for.

The other party has already stuffed several books into Xiaomi's hands.

Seeing that the book in his hand was exactly what he was looking for, Xiaomi became even more frightened.

For some reason, she always felt that the old man opposite seemed to be able to see through her own thoughts.

"Thank you... thank you."

The old man didn't look back.

"Let's go quickly."

Although it was to drive someone away, for some reason, Xiaomi just felt that this person had no malice towards him.

Even like myself a little bit.

why?
Could it be that he has a good feeling attribute all over him?

In the blink of an eye, Xiaomi suddenly felt his eyes heat up.

His eyes fluttered again, and he almost lost his footing.

The ground, what is it that is trampled on the ground.

Take a closer look.

Name: Journey to the North
Dynasties: past dynasties

Author: Cheng Ming
Value: Reference price 2 yuan
Xiaomi: 2 yuan! !
Now it's 87, 2 yuan is a huge sum of money!

Such a huge sum of money was trampled underfoot.

It's really reckless.

Xiaomi was a little excited, but still tried to restrain himself.

"Old man, do you sell books on the ground... on the ground?"

Hearing these words, the old man suddenly turned around, staring sharply at Xiaomi with a pair of slightly cloudy eyes.

After a long time, he slowly asked two words.

"On the ground?"

"Yes, it's just the books that were trampled on the ground."

There were many books on the ground, some of which were almost deformed by being stepped on, and even the paper was torn.

The place where the precious ancient book is placed under the bookshelf is less frequently trampled on.

But you can also clearly see the footprints on it.

"Sell it, it's very cheap, pack it up and take it away, just give me 50 yuan."

"If you can help me clean up the library, I can charge you ten yuan less."

Hearing this, Xiaomi looked at the other books on the ground.

Although those books are of little value, taking them back and showing them to Qin Ning can increase knowledge and be cheap.

Why not?

Xiaomi looked up at Qin Zan, saw that the other party was nodding towards him, agreed with the old man's statement, and quickly responded.

"Okay, I'll clean it up for you."

Seeing Xiaomi's eager look, the old man turned around and smiled, then sat in the corner and watched the two clean up the study.

His study has never been taken care of.

Not for anything else but because no one ever understood its value.

Now, finally, a chubby girl has come along and realized the value of it.

The old man was happy.

So it is inevitable to give Xiaomi a problem.

"Which book did you read?"

The question was asked casually, Xiaomi was squatting on the ground sorting out the books, did not check for a while, and replied.

"Just the Journey to the North."

After the words fell, I suddenly felt like a fool.

He quickly looked up at the old man.

Seeing that the other party lowered his head and showed no signs of suspicion, he finally relaxed and continued to tidy up the books scattered on the floor.

But Qin Zan looked back at the book of Journey to the North that Xiaomi had in mind.

Although he has not read this book, he has studied it.

Who doesn't know the four great classics.

Why did Xiaomi take a fancy to this book?

Despite the doubts in his heart, Qin Zan moved quickly.

Thanks to his help, the books on the ground were cleaned up very quickly.

It took the two of them almost an hour to arrange all the books.

And did a big cleaning.

Even wiped it several times with a mop.

Seeing the polished concrete on the ground, Xiaomi finally realized what was wrong.

This bookstore looks old, but the floor is concrete.

Qin Zan also seemed to sense something was wrong. After paying the money, he put all the books in the bamboo basket on the bullock cart and left quickly with Xiaomi.

The speed of the bullock cart was very fast. After 10 minutes, it had arrived from the east of Azi County to the west of Azi County.

Not far from the location of the compound.

"Qin Zan, do you think that bookstore is strange?"

Sitting on the bullock cart, Xiaomi asked Qin Zan with a sideways face.

"Yes, but we did take advantage today. We bought so many books and only spent less than 50 yuan."

Here, books are very expensive.

Although there are few people who read books, it seems that there is a kind of paranoid appreciation for scholars.

All books, books are sold very expensive.

Therefore, there are not many families who can afford to read books.

That's why, when his mother informed him that the girl who was betrothed had graduated from junior high school, he had no objection.

Neither the younger sister nor the mother has ever read a book. If there is a scholar at home, he can feel at ease when he is away from home.

"That's true, it's really cheap."

Xiaomi didn't expect it, and finally the old man gave them a discounted price.

Including the few books the old man gave her, and the few books Qin Zan selected, the total cost was only a dozen yuan.

In short, they made a solid profit this trip.

Qin Zan parked the cart next to a small restaurant not far from the compound on the west side of Azi County.

 Thank you guys for your votes! ! !Love you guys!
