I read miscellaneous books to become a sun god

Chapter 4

"This poor scholar has made a fortune! Just now I saw him go to the clothes store, buy so many books, and even come here to buy meat... I'm afraid it's worth a few taels of silver..." A tall rascal looked towards the pork shop. After a glance, he pondered.

I wondered in my heart if there was any benefit to be reaped.

"It's more than just getting rich. Did you see the little lady next to him? Although she covered her face, she looked like a beautiful woman with a fair and tender skin. She was not raised by ordinary people, maybe she was a lady from a great family. .Let me sleep in your arms for a few months, and I would be happy to shorten my life for a few years." The short bastard next to him winked and smiled lewdly.

"Before, all the poor scholar's family died, and he was the only one left. I don't know where to pick up such a little lady."

When he said this, the tall poppy immediately paid attention: "I don't know where I picked it up?"

"I've never seen these streets before." The short Hooligan thought about it.

"Or it's from a rich family, somehow fell in love with this scholar, and eloped with him. Normally, a rich family would definitely look down on such a poor scholar, and if they want to recruit a son-in-law, they are also recruiting a scholar."

"Or it's the sister in the brothel who redeemed her body and brought her dowry with him. Isn't that what storytellers say? Or why did this poor scholar suddenly become rich, buying clothes, meat, and So many books?"

The short Hooligan's analysis is quite methodical.

"Do you want to sleep with that little lady?" the tall Hooligan asked suddenly.

"what do you mean?"

"Let's see where the two of them go back later. At night, I will touch the scholar and kill the scholar. The little lady will take it away for a few days, and then find a brothel in another place to sell it." The tall man whispered.

"There are monsters happening right now. When the time comes, take away the internal organs of the scholar. People think they were eaten by monsters. How can we find them on our heads?"

"Regardless of whether the little lady eloped or the brothel redeemed her, she must still have a lot of money in her hand now, and we both can make a fortune by then."

The two Poppis looked at each other and smiled.

Anyway, it was very chaotic now, no one dared to go out when it was dark, and no one knew that the two of them did it.

As for what to do if you run into that monster... Qingyang County is so big, how could it be so unlucky?

This time, at least one person can divide dozens of taels...

A private school teacher earns only a dozen taels a year, and ordinary people earn less than ten taels a year. These dozens of taels are enough to eat, drink and play for a long time.

……

"My lord, go read your books, and I will cook at the servant's house."

"Take off the clothes and put them aside, I will wash them after the slave's cooking."

As soon as she got back to the yard, Yan Ruyu went briskly to the kitchen with the meat.

On the contrary, it was Gu Sheng who had walked for so long and sat in the room with a book in hand to rest for a long time.

Gu Sheng looked at his arm, it was really thin like a stick, and the wind blowing was not an exaggeration, but an accurate description.

Before going out to the stall every day, I just carried a thin wooden board and four table legs, and I was exhausted going back and forth.

Now that there is no shortage of money, I have to raise my body first.

After resting for a while, Gu Sheng picked up the thinnest book "Journey to the Southwest" and started reading.

This book was written thousands of years ago, and it is not well-known. There is only one copy in the bookstore, and it has been kept for an unknown period of time. The pages are very yellowed.

It mainly talks about what a person named Liu You saw and heard in a country called "Southwest Yi".

And this country has long since perished.

In addition to describing the humanities and customs of the country, the book also has a large number of descriptions of mountains, rivers, landforms, hydrology and climate, depicting a mysterious and strange southwest territory.

Gu Sheng sank in after looking at it.

"Young master, it's time to eat."

It wasn't until Yan Ruyu woke Gu Sheng up that Gu Sheng put down the book with unsatisfied intentions.

Dinner is still rice, but there are two meat dishes, one is broth and the other is stir-fried pork with vegetables. Since there is only salt, the taste is not very good, but Gu Sheng is also very satisfied.

At least there is meat to eat.

It's much better than the previous few days when I couldn't even see the oil and water.

Taking a mouthful of millet rice, feeling the rough miscellaneous rice passing through his throat, Gu Sheng said: "Remember to remind me to buy some white rice tomorrow."

"Okay!" Yan Ruyu said happily.

"Young master, is the slave's family going to buy it?"

"Let me go, it's not safe around here, you're too noticeable." Gu Sheng shook his head.

There are a total of [-] workshops in Qingyang County, which are divided into upper eight workshops and lower eight workshops.

There are many rich people in Shangbafang, but in Xiabafang, there are only civilians and poor people, and the public security is not much better.

Let’s not talk about stealing things, and it’s not uncommon for gangs to dominate the market.

Children and young girls were often kidnapped.

If it wasn't for making clothes today, he wouldn't have taken Yan Ruyu out.

"Oh!" Yan Ruyu thought for a while and said, "Then my family will patch up the house tomorrow. My family sees that the roof is leaking, the windows are also leaking, and the door also needs to be repaired."

"You know this?" Gu Sheng asked in surprise.

Yan Ruyu was stunned, a little uncertain: "It should be quite simple, right?"

"Forget it, we'll talk about it when I come back." Gu Sheng shook his head, he felt that he was better than Yan Ruyu anyway.

If it doesn't work, just hire a carpenter to come over and fix it.

"Tomorrow, check to see if there are any earth dragons in the ground, and collect them together when you find them."

"My lord, why are you looking for that?" Yan Ruyu asked curiously.

"Try to see if it can be raised. If it can be raised, it can be used to feed chickens." Gu Sheng said.

"Young master said yes, then it is definitely possible." Yan Ruyu affirmed.

After dinner, Gu Sheng went back to continue reading, Yan Ruyu sat next to Gu Sheng after washing his clothes, quietly watching him read.

I have to say, smelling the faint fragrance coming from around me, I can see a pair of eyes like autumn water when I turn my head.

Reading at night with Hongxiu Tianxiang is indeed fascinating.

Gu Sheng would rub his eyes every once in a while, panicked by the oily smoke.

I thought that I would remember to buy an oil lamp with water to filter the smoke tomorrow.

This kind of lantern was originally a palace lantern, and it was spread later that ordinary people can buy it, but the price is so high that he couldn't afford it before.

"It's getting late, young master, isn't he still resting?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"Close the front and rear windows, close the door, and then go to rest. I'll watch later." Gu Sheng urgently needs to find some ways to improve his strength and protect himself from the book.

He wished he could spend twelve hours a day reading.

After all, there are monsters killing people in the city at night, and the surrounding environment is not safe.

"The young man also rested earlier."

In the middle of the night, Gu Sheng turned to the last page and read it word by word, thinking about the meaning of the sentence from time to time.

"despair"

A thumb-sized bug that was as crystal clear as jade, with a few bloodstains on its body, fell in front of Gu Sheng.

It looks a bit like a cicada.

Gu Sheng thought for a while, and then he was a little uncertain.

"This is... the Nine Age Cicada?"

……

According to "Journey to the Southwest", there is a cicada called Jiuling in Xianyan, which dies every nine years and is resurrected after one month. After nine times of resurrection, it will turn into an auspicious bird and fly to Nanshan.

Nanshan is the residence of the Madonna of Nanshan in the legend of the Southwestern Yi.

Because of this characteristic of Jiu Ling Chan, the people of Southwest Yi believed that Xianyan had a mysterious power, which could bring people back from the dead, and this place became the cemetery of the people of Southwest Yitou.

And this nine-year-old cicada, every time it dies, sheds a layer of beautiful jade-like body. After eating it, it can make the body strong and live a long life.

It is said that there was a tribal leader who ate a cicada slough and lived for more than 100 years. When he was more than 100 years old, he led the tribe to fight with the people, and died of exhaustion after killing hundreds of people.

Because of this legend, every generation of leaders in the Southwestern Yi will send people to find the Jiu Lingchan, and as a result, they can find everything except Jiu Lingchan.

In particular, you can always find all kinds of auspiciousness.
