Chapter 682: You, Mr., are you reading books too?

There are not many bookstores in the county, and there are even fewer old bookstores. Zhang Niu will not foolishly go to Xinhua Bookstore to find medical books. Those places are ordinary. Although they look simple, they require a lot of knowledge. For Zhang Niu, who doesn't understand much, this matter is a little troublesome.

Fortunately, in the county town, there are also some old bookstores with time-honored brands. However, these bookstores have now changed their storefronts and run other industries. After all, by opening a bookstore, it is estimated that the monthly rent cannot be paid.

These bookstores in the county town often came to read books when they were childhood. At that time, everyone liked to read martial arts, but they didn’t have any extra change to buy books, so they could only rent them to read books. It costs 50 cents a day, which is already very cheap. It’s because of this Zhang Niu that he remembers a few places in his heart.

These bookstores have been found in the past few days. Except for some that have been closed, the rest are basically not very well managed. Some have sold old books, and some have been placed directly in the grocery room and all of them are moldy. Anyway, they are useless.

Turn into the small street in Shuinan. This is a relatively lively street. The road is only about three meters wide and there are shops on both sides. Although it is much worse than that in Jinlong Square, it is the favorite place for students to come. It is because there are a wide range of goods and are cheap and good. Therefore, there are a lot of people coming here to buy things, which indirectly makes the street lively.

Zhang Niu has never been here himself. He hears shouts when he walks on the street and passes by people from time to time. Originally, the street was narrow and Sunday, and the number of people here was more than twice as many as usual.

A small street that is hundreds of meters long, and there are only hundreds of shops. It can be said that as long as there are free places, they are basically turned into shops, and there are several supermarkets selling erotic goods here.

Only familiar people know that there is a supermarket in front and a small grocery room behind the house. There are a lot of books in it, including the books Zhang Niu wants. Although there are not many, it should be enough for viewing.

Although I haven't come for some time, it hasn't changed much. I just open a few new shops, which doesn't take much time. Zhang Niu found the place he was looking for.

A shop that costs dozens of square meters, selling daily necessities, and the business is sloppy.

When he walked into the supermarket, Zhang Niu found the boss, who was still the middle-aged man named Gao. The baptism of time left a shadow on Boss Gao. White hair gradually appeared on his head and wrinkles began to appear on his face.

A set of ordinary clothes with thick cloth shoes under your feet, which is very suitable to wear at this time.

Zhang Niu directly expressed his thoughts about coming here. He originally planned to rent books, but they all kept them behind the house. It seemed a bit difficult to rent these books, so Zhang Niu planned to buy them back, which saved time. No matter how much you bought, you could keep them at home and watch them slowly, which was much better than running at both ends.

Although Zhang Niu knew about the existence of this place before coming, he hadn't come for so long and didn't know what changes would happen, so he was always worried. After all, there were only a few places in the county town, and if there weren't, he would have to change the place.

Boss Gao, who had a melon-faced face, heard that this young man came to buy books from the past. If Zhang Niu didn’t mention this, he would almost forget it. Since he opened the supermarket, the books were placed behind him and no one came to read them. After a long time, he naturally forgot the place. Now someone came to buy them, so he was of course happy. Although he didn’t know what it was for buying them, it was a very happy thing to sell the books piled up there.

"Then I'll take you to see it. It's been too long. I don't know if it will bite off the borer." Boss Gao shook his head, feeling a little worried. After all, it was a grocery room. No matter how good the book was placed there, it would also attract the attention of the borer.

After Zhang Niu thanked him politely, he followed Boss Gao to the inside. When he was passing by the shelves, he saw a row of books. At a rough look, they were all martial arts books, but they were all pirated. You can tell at the cover that they were all old-fashioned books, such as The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Legend of Condor Heroes, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, etc., a whole lot of them are here.

Boss Gao, who was walking in front, saw Zhang Niu's attention and smiled and said, "This was found in the past. There are many schools nearby, so he has some martial arts books for rent. Usually, many people come to watch it."

Zhang Niu didn't care about these martial arts books. What he was looking for was a book about medicine. Although it was a bit profound, it was temporarily kept in mind. Then he would ask when he met someone in this area.

Walking out of the supermarket, there is a big courtyard. After all, Shuinan Street is full of courtyards, and the entire area is basically old houses. Speaking of which, this place is an old city, but there is no news of rectification here. Even if it needs rectification, it is probably not something that can be done in recent years.

This courtyard looks pretty good, with the carvings on the beams and other carvings. Zhang Niu knew that these were all antiques. Although they were all wood carvings, if they were finished, they would be sold for a lot of money.

There are many carvings around, and in the middle of the courtyard is a patio, surrounded by flower pots of all sizes. Many ordinary flower species are planted, facing the rising sun, making the courtyard look more delicious.

"It seems that this person really knows how to manage this courtyard." Zhang Niu praised a little in his heart.

There are four rooms in the Sihe Courtyard. I originally thought that books were placed in one of them, but later I thought that this was a bit unlikely. After all, these rooms in the Sihe Courtyard should be the main room and are usually used for rest, so they will be used to pile up books.

Passing through the main room, he walked into an alley, which was black inside. Boss Gao turned on the electric light and could see a wooden ladder not far away. Boss Gao walked up carefully, and did not forget to turn around and let Zhang Niu pay attention to his feet.

Zhang Niu could not have imagined that Boss Gao would put these books on this attic, as long as the books were still there.

It's too dark inside, even if there is an electric light, it still looks dim. If a timid person comes to such a place, he will feel scared. Fortunately, Zhang Niu's nerves are considered large, so there is no problem.

Walking up from below, I found that there were a lot of firewood piled up here, and books piled up on the other side were neatly placed there. After Boss Gao brought it up, he turned on the electric light, but it was still very dark, and there was not even a sunroof.

People want to do business, so they took Zhang Niu here to the attic and went down to work hard. They left Zhang Niu to choose good books and then went down to calculate the price.

As soon as Boss Gao left, Zhang Niu looked carefully through the light. There was no skylight open here, and the books were not damaged, but it felt a little wet or even dim.

"Don't bite the insects off." Zhang Niu murmured to himself and walked towards the book, but as soon as he came over, he found a slight difference.

Although Zhang Niu is not very good at paying attention to details, he still found some differences here, the plastic cloth covering the books is not much dust. It can be seen that people are reading books here, and it seems that some people often see here because they can see a short stool next to the books.

"I guess I'm here to find a book, so why do I do that much?"

After pulling away the plastic cloth, there was only a little dust. Then the lights, Zhang Niu finally started his book selection journey. He was just a little impression at that time. It was really troublesome to find the books he needed here.

"I had known that I would ask Boss Gao if this book was put into the directory." Zhang Niu sat on the stool and began to search.

"Count of Monte Cristo, Arrogant" Seeing these two books, Zhang Niu knew that this cluster of books should be foreign literature. Although he had never read this book, his name was very famous.

Just now I put the book back and selected it again. Since it was brought back by foreign literature, I can still read it if I am bored in the future. When I thought about it, I put the book outside.

Zhang Niu guessed it wrongly. There was a famous book on each row of books, which made it easier for him to find. He had not found the book he wanted for the time being, but some books were more suitable for him to read.

Foreign literature and the four great classics are all put here, and it can be seen that the boss is not very interested in these books. Now everyone is watching martial arts and the romance you love me. When they hold this thick classic, they are so confused that they still don’t know the contents in it.

There were fewer hundreds of books on this attic. Although Zhang Niu had never flipped it, he still flipped it roughly. The books at the bottom are now yellow, and there are many book holes. You don’t need to read them and you know that this is bitten by borers. Especially in such places, it is strange that there are no borers. Fortunately, it is placed on the attic. If it is placed on the ground, it will probably be broken faster.

After searching row by row, Zhang Niu began to immerse himself in the ocean of books, and at the same time he chose what he liked. As for the medical books he found casually, some of them were bitten through. These books were kept for a long time and no one reads them, so they broke faster. When they found them, they were basically at the bottom. If they weren't for their bright eyes, they wouldn't be able to find these medical books, but they could see that these books would be thrown into the stove as firewood.

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, in this quiet attic, Zhang Niu was looking for the books he needed, and suddenly heard the sound coming, thinking that it was Boss Gao coming.

"Is it Boss Gao? I haven't found any books yet." said casually.

Although you could hear a word in this attic, you didn't respond after saying it. Did Zhang Niu care much? Maybe he came up to move things and kept looking for them.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Niu came out with a few books. Just as he turned around, he saw a figure sitting there in the place where he had sat, as if he was looking down at the book.

"Boss Gao is so scary that he sits here without saying a word." Zhang Niu would have been shocked if he hadn't been brave. It was originally dark and the light bulb was dim again. He happened to come here to find books, and the figure he saw seemed to come out of the darkness.

Zhang Niu always thought that Boss Gao was sitting there reading his books and came over with the books. Then he realized that he had read the wrong person. This person's figure did not look like Boss Gao at all.

"Are you going to read these books?" An old voice suddenly sounded under the dim light.

As soon as he heard this sound, Zhang Niu knew that this was an elderly person. Although his back was facing Zhang Niu, his white hair could still be seen.

"Yes, I wonder if the old man is here to read books?" Zhang Niu said politely.

"Are you studying medicine? Some of these medical books are very difficult." The man turned around, holding the books Zhang Niu found in his hand.

The person who turned around was indeed not old. It should be said that he was around fifty years old, looking at Zhang Niu in full spirit, and more on Zhang Niu's books.

Zhang Niu shook his head: "I'm not a doctor, I just want to learn some knowledge about herbal medicine." Although I don't know who this is, I'd better tell it honestly. Anyway, this is not a big deal, and it doesn't matter if I say it.

"Young man is motivated." Li Lin was a little surprised. He was quite familiar with the boss here and often came here to find some books to read. Who knew that today would meet a young man looking for a doctor. He looked polite and good. He was the old man who didn't know how to open his mouth and didn't have any intense reaction.

"The old man also came here to find books? Do I want me to help you find them?" The lighting here is not good, so Zhang Niu thought that the old man came here to find books, and he happened to be here. If he could help, he could help.

"Haha, since you are determined, I'll ask you to find me." Li Lin sat on the stool and nodded without hesitation when he heard Zhang Niu say this. It's rare for such polite children to be seen.

After Li Lin published the title, Zhang Niu couldn't help but frown. The old man also came to find medical books, but they all looked more profound.

"It's strange that I'm looking for Yishu too, right?" Li Lin said with interest.

"Yeah, I have some idea."

"There were many books here before, but I bought them all for people. I often came here to check it out. I opened a pharmacy at the end of Shuinan Street, which I didn't come here often."

Zhang Niu just thought that this old man was idle nearby, but now he realized that this old man was a doctor. Of course, what kind of doctor is this? Zhang Niu doesn't care about it. He met here, and Zhang Niu just happened to want to ask something.

"Then do you understand herbs?" Zhang Niu asked without thinking.

"Haha, young man, you're wrong. If you don't know how to open a herbal shop, are you interested in this?" Li Lin became more and more interested in the young man in front of him.

Zhang Niu nodded: "I live next to the mountains and know the herbs in the mountains, but I don't know what the herbs have, so I come here to find some books to go back."

Now when talking about lies, I don’t blush or beat my heart, and I look sincere. In fact, this is not wrong. It’s true that I know the herbs here, but I just have an encyclopedia.
