However, the two of Xu Lin didn't come here to visit.
Their destination was a remote alley behind this street.
"It's still so clean here, and it's so close to the commercial street and snack street."
All the way forward, after turning two corners in the alley, what Xu Lin and the others saw was no longer the quaint but brand new wooden houses before, but some slightly dilapidated small houses made of bluestone.
"Of course, after all, tourists generally can't find it here www"
The eldest lady said with a light smile.
Speaking of it, it was just an accident that the two found this alley. It was just that when they wandered here that day, they got lost and bumped into this old street that seemed to have traveled from centuries ago to the present.
The aunt on the side of the road beat and washed the clothes by the stream at the door, and the heavy wooden board in her hand made a very regular sound.The scorching sun in August was blocked by the towering willow trees overhead, and there was a cool breeze blowing in the face, and the exhaustion of wandering on the crowded street disappeared instantly.
Spots of light are scattered from the gaps in the shade of the trees, shining on the thick stone bricks paved with years of polishing but still somewhat uneven, like a road to the time of the Republic of China , only Xu Lin and the eldest lady are completely inconsistent with the antique world.
"Grandpa~ I'm here again! Do you have any good books today?"
As soon as Xu Youyue entered the door, she greeted a white-haired old man very enthusiastically, with a bright smile, and she did not show her self-willedness as a young lady at all.
"Oh! You're here, kid. I finished reading the book I pushed you so quickly last time? Don't just swallow it and read it once and then throw it aside!"
The old man was already in his eighties, but his body was very healthy, and his ears were not deaf at all. When he heard the young lady's voice, he looked away from the book in his lap, raised his reading glasses, and smiled.
The book he gave this little girl last time was "Book of Changes", which is enough to study for a lifetime, so he might read it so quickly, and what he said was just teasing the eldest lady!
"I didn't understand it, so I came to you to recommend something simple~"
The eldest lady stuck out her tongue knowing she was wrong, trying to get away with it.
"I know that you are young and don't have the patience to study the Book of Changes. Okay, I bought a few prose books when I went to the morning market, and you go and see if there is anything that suits your appetite?"
The old man has a lot of books, but they are all his treasures, so he is not willing to sell them. As for the old books he sells, Xu Lin and the others also asked the source when they came here.
As for this old man, since he was young, he has had the habit of going to the surrounding morning market to buy old books. The old books there are cheap. I can’t remember the price before, but now they are sold by the catty. The better ones, Ten or twenty-five yuan a catty, and the broken ones cost five or six yuan a catty.
The old man doesn't buy much every day, but he can't stand to save it for so many years. The big bookcases in the house are full.
(Actually, I can’t stand being nagged by my wife every day)
In this way, since more than ten years ago, the old man has put a few wooden tables in his yard to clean up some old books that have little collection value and he doesn't like very much, which can be regarded as finding a reader for these books.
Anyway, they don’t sell when it’s cloudy and rainy, and they don’t sell when it’s windy and sunny. Sometimes it’s common to not open for a month when the weather is bad, and people don’t rely on this to make money.
The eldest lady was taken to the house to get books, and Xu Lin just went to the small stall outside to see if there was anything he was interested in.
After all, the used books that this old man sells here are really all-encompassing. As long as you are patient, you can find anything. When Xu Lin came last time, he still had his brother's famous book. Collections that are hard to come by from hundreds to thousands are all sold at stalls for more than ten yuan a piece here.
The old man himself has mixed tastes, and the books he sells also have everything.
The ones that Xu Lin has seen, the time difference is very far away, there are old books published in the [-]s and [-]s, and there are also modern readers such as Yilin.The scope is even more chaotic, from the high-level I Ching gossip to the previous pirated novels, even Xu Lin bought two light novels of "Shakuyan's Shana" from here last time, and I don't know whether the old man read it or not. I did not see.
"Xu Lin! Look, look, what is this?"
After a while, the eldest lady came out from the old man's room with two books in her arms, bouncing up and down to show off in front of Xu Lin who picked up a reader to read the joke page.
"Huh? This is..."
Xu Lin raised his head, took the book and read it, slightly surprised.
"Prose collection? Zhang's? Which edition is this?"
"The reprint of the 80s hehehe~"
The eldest lady was holding the book with a look of joy on her face.
In fact, she doesn't particularly like reading prose, especially Zhang's. After all, she has no emotional experience and can't understand that kind of thinking, but the joy of finding good things is not bad.
"The reprint of the 80s, so it should be quite expensive, right?"
The 80s are books that have been around for decades, but Xu Lin looked at the two books that the eldest lady was holding in her hand. If it hadn’t been for the bookstore that hadn’t been sold all the time, then the previous owner of these two books really kept enough. Ok, don't know why it's sold.
"Hey, these two books are just my presents for the little girl, no money required."
Saying that, the old man also came out of the house, waved his hand, and said generously.
"Thank you, old man~ I will come to buy books from you next time~"
The eldest lady squinted her eyes with a smile, like a greedy cat stealing ham.
"Then grandpa, by the way, let me see how much these two books cost. I want them."
Xu Lin thought for a while, picked out two books that he had just read, and handed them to the old man for a price.
That's right, the old man sets the prices on the spot when buying things here, but the prices are not expensive. Sometimes people who buy books are happy and want to give the old man even more.
To put it bluntly, they are not short of this money.
after all.
The average price per square meter of a bluestone house with a yard in this area is not much worse than that of a courtyard house in the capital.
Chapter 41 Chapter 41 What does the avatar live broadcast outdoors?
"Could I trouble you to see how much these two books cost?"
Xu Linke politely handed over the two books, looking completely unfamiliar.
She still hadn't forgotten that she was no longer the same person she was before. Other than the eldest lady and a few other people, her interpersonal relationship had been completely reset, and of course the same was true of the old man who hadn't met a few times in front of her.
"Oh, it's you?"
The old man took the book, but he didn't rush to read it. Instead, he looked at Xu Lin carefully, as if looking at some strange object.
"She's my friend~"
The eldest lady took the conversation a little strangely, not understanding what the old man was looking at.
After all, although girls with albinism are rare, and people with albinism who are as beautiful as Xu Lin and who are not afraid of the sun may not be able to see one in their entire life, but with the cultivation of the old man, it is not so rude to look at her?
"Oh? Then where did the boy who came with you go?"
The old man came back to his senses, and cast a long look at the young miss.
"He...he didn't have time today and didn't come here~ Besides, my best friend and I went shopping together, why did we take him!"
The eldest lady was a little panicked. Everyone said that people are old and mature. I'm afraid the old man saw something?
"Heh, you little girl just confuses me."
The old man patted the eldest lady angrily, clicked his lips, but didn't continue talking.
"Take these two books as a meeting gift from me, no money is required."
"This..."
Xu Lin hesitated.
It's not about the tens of dollars for the two books, but whether this mysterious old man has seen something.
If so, is there a solution?
"What did the old man mean by what he said just now?"
In the end, Xu Lin decided to ask a few more questions, otherwise he would always be a little bit unwilling.
"The atmosphere between you and this little girl is so ambiguous, why do you ask me?"
The old man smiled.
"Okay, I'm not old-fashioned, and you don't need to explain anything to me. As for this book, I will give it to you. If there is a chance, let this little girl tell you about that young man."
It's rare for the old man to say a long paragraph, which is meaningful and mature, and he can see through the atmosphere between the two at a glance, but. . .
So embarrassing.
This special meow is clearly a cross-server chat, right?
Xu Lin smiled wryly.
"Then thank you, old man."
I thought it was the old man who saw that he had transformed, and the co-author turned out to be two people when he was a man and now, thinking that the young lady is a two-footed boat.
Xu Lin, who had lost her hope, was not too disappointed, after all, from the very beginning, she already felt that she would never go back in this life.
Bringing the bewildered young lady out, Xu Lin let out another long sigh.
"Eh? What does the old man mean? Why do you look at me like that?"
The eldest lady was still in a daze, and could only ask Xu Lin who seemed to understand something.
"He...he treats you like a scumbag~"
"what!?"
. . . . . .
The two walked all the way to explain, and walked back to the business district in front of the snack street after a while.
After walking all this way, the two of them were too tired, so they decided to find a shop to rest for a while, so they found a dessert shop at random.
"Hmm... I want a mango smoothie, Xu Lin, what would you like to eat?"
"Thank you for a cup of red bean milk tea."
For some reason, Xu Lin ordered a cup of milk tea abnormally. Normally, she would order more black tea with lemon.
"There are still two hours before the movie starts, do you want to do something?"
After the two sat down, Xu Lin took out his mobile phone and looked at it, but found that there was no message to return.And asked boredly.
"Damn it, what does the old man mean! How can this lady be a scumbag!"
However, the eldest lady was still immersed in the embarrassment of being misunderstood, and did not listen to what Xu Lin was saying at all.
"Next time I go, I must glue his two favorite books together! Let him never read them again!"
"Hey, hey, miss, your thoughts are a little dangerous! The old man misunderstood it, so what? What are you going to do if the stimulation passes?"
Xu Lin, whose hair was full of black lines, stretched out his hand and pushed the young lady's small head, pulling her out of her self state.
"Ah? Why are you pushing me!"
"If I don't wake you up, you're going to be a murderer!"
"Hmph! Miss Ben is not so stingy!"
The daily bickering between the two didn't stop until the waitress brought up the things they ordered, but the topic returned to how to pass the time.
"There are still two hours... What are we going to do..."
The eldest lady was lying on the table bored, eating the smoothie that melted very quickly.
"How about an outdoor live broadcast?"
Xu Lin was silent for a while, and then came up with a wicked idea.
"How does the virtual person open outdoors? Isn't it completely exposed where the person is?"
The eldest lady was a little confused, Xu Lin's idea was a little unreliable, her small mouth was round and round, and she complained.
"Rely on the audience to make up for it~"
However, the white-haired girl just spread her hands and said something unreliable.
The virtual human broadcasts outdoors, and the pictures are all based on the live broadcast of the audience's imagination. . .
Then isn't he just talking nonsense!
"Hello, hello, welcome to the outdoor live broadcast that we collaborated with..."
10 minutes later, a live broadcast room called "Enough Brain Supplement" was launched!The eldest lady greeted the welcomes feebly.
The audience also actively interacted with her with question marks.
[? ? ? ?outdoor】
[What about the screen? ? ? 】
[The co-authorship is really all based on imagination? ? 】
