Seeing Guo Qiang coming, the two men didn't say anything and left quickly.
The rules of this industry are not to interfere with each other, let alone take advantage of others. If Guo Qiang sees his face, they will not even think about operating in the black market.
Guo Qiang chased for a while, but seeing that the two men were running so fast, he stopped chasing. He was afraid that he might just miss Liang Xiaonan.
When he returned to the door of the old printing factory, he saw Liang Xiaonan standing there looking around.
"Have you been waiting for a long time? Sorry."
"It's okay, I just arrived." Of course Liang Xiaonan was pretending. She couldn't say that she had thrown the bricks and stones!
"Did you bring the food?"
"I brought it," Liang Xiaonan pointed to the dark corner and put it here.
Guoqiang strode over and saw two half-full bags placed against the wall. He said in surprise: "This is it?"
Opening a bag, he copied it with his hands and found a handful full of soybeans, plump and fresh.
When he opened the other half sack, he was shocked: "Black beans?"
"Well, your uncle is sick, probably due to malnutrition, right?" Now his limbs are weak, and the doctor prescribed soybeans. It's basically due to hunger and malnutrition.
Guoqiang nodded.
"Well, go ahead and get half a bag of black beans. It's also over 100 kilograms, just a little more. What's your relationship with that fifth grandpa? Are you a kiss?"
"My parents died young, and I grew up with my fifth grandfather and fifth grandmother." Guoqiang's thoughts were on soybeans and black beans. "Can you give me these two sacks of beans?"
"Can."
Guoqiang said: "Don't worry, the books are all new and well-preserved. Let's go read them together. I'll take the soybeans away when you're satisfied."
Guoqiang goes to work during the day and sets up a stall to sell some things in the black market at night. He is not greedy for other people's things, but if he can take advantage of the situation, he will not let it go.
Guoqiang tied two sacks with ropes and hung them on his shoulders like a sash, one sack on the front and one on the front.
He was originally very big, but now he couldn't eat enough and he didn't have much strength. After walking for a while, he was so tired that he wheezed and said, "Shall we take a rest first?"
Liang Xiaonan gave him her backpack. She carried two sacks and said, "Let's go. How far is it?"
"It's not far, just a little way away." They chose to trade in front of the printing factory because the book was hidden nearby.
Sure enough, when they turned around behind the printing factory, there was a dilapidated yard. The house and walls were smashed beyond recognition and were completely in ruins.
Guo Qiang led Liang Xiaonan into the shabby courtyard without saying a word. Before entering, he looked around for a while to make sure there was no one before leading Liang Xiaonan in.
There was a large, half-broken water tank in the corner. Guoqiang moved the large water tank away, then lifted up the wooden board under the water tank, and saw a hole as big as one person.
Guoqiang turned on the flashlight and took Liang Xiaonan down. Liang Xiaonan's eyesight was not restricted and he followed down carrying the sack.
Only when she got to the bottom of it did she realize why she was asked to choose glasses at will.
This is a basement with a total area of 20 to 30 square meters. It is full of books, but they are packed in sacks.
"You can choose any of these books." Guoqiang said, "I don't know what books you like. When Grandpa Wu heard the news last year, he made a quick decision and packed the good books in the library in sacks overnight. His family would definitely not dare to
Hiding, this used to be the yard of a big landowner's house. It was deserted and no one came here at all. The fifth grandfather hid the books here."
Although what he said was confusing, Liang Xiaonan had a high probability of guessing the whole story. The glasses belonged to someone from the Cao Xiaoyuan County Library, probably a leader.
In order to protect the books, I hid the good books here. This big landowner might have been his friend before. This is a ruin, so hiding it here is the safest place.
Now I can't stand it any longer, so I have no choice but to sell books. Those who can risk their lives to exchange books and buy books must be people who love books, and they can be regarded as benevolent.
Liang Xiaonan opened those sacks and briefly looked through some of the book titles in each sack. They were all new books, many of them unopened, and all of them were high-quality books, many of which had only been heard in legends.
She decided to take them all.
Seeing that she liked them, Guoqiang held great hope that if this lesbian could take away these books, Grandpa Fifth and Grandma Five's food rations should be able to last for a long time.
Liang Xiaonan didn't know if Guoqiang could make the decision.
"Do you plan to collect these books or sell them gradually?" Liang Xiaonan asked.
Guoqiang immediately said: "We have to take action, give it to whomever you want, money is fine, food is better."
Production started to decrease last year, and this year is not as good as last year. Even if you have money, you can't buy food.
"If I want all these books, how much will they cost or how much food will I need?"
"Ah!" Guo Qiang was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He actually didn't know how many books there were, he hadn't counted them at all. Moreover, he sold out several books every now and then, and no one asked for them.
"Can you wait for me here for a while? I'll ask my fifth grandfather?" Guoqiang was afraid that Liang Xiaonan would run away.
"Aren't you afraid that I will steal all the books?"
"Don't be afraid. Fifth Grandpa said that you are a book lover. People who love books have a pure mind and will not do anything."
Guo Qiang's words have the meaning of being a high hat, but he is really not afraid that Liang Xiaonan will take the book away. This girl is really rich, so she should be a person with a good background.
"Go find your fifth grandfather. Hurry up. If it's ok, I'll leave."
Guoqiang ran faster than a rabbit and left.
Liang Xiaonan continued to open those sacks and looked at them. The more she looked at them, the more excited she became. Oh my God, she had unintentionally unearthed a masterpiece from the library!
After waiting for less than twenty minutes, Liang Xiaonan heard footsteps coming from outside. It was Guo Qiang and the fifth grandfather with glasses who were coming.
This time his glasses were not worn around his face, and he looked like a very skinny old man.
"Comrade, you want it all?" the old man said excitedly, "Do you have a place to hide?"
"Yes." Liang Xiaonan said in her heart. Even if it were ten thousand times more, I could easily hide it.
"There are a total of 30 sacks here. I packed about 40-50 books in each sack, a total of more than 1,300 books. I don't want you to exchange a pound of soybeans for a book. You love books and can protect these books. I am grateful.
"I heard from Guoqiang that you brought 100 jins of soybeans and 100 jins of black beans. That's enough. These beans are enough."
The old man wants to give her all the books in the basement.
Liang Xiaonan would not take such a big advantage in vain, but the old man took back too much food. When the neighbors saw it, he couldn't tell clearly.
"How about this? I'll give you some supplies, and then I'll ask my family to give them to you later and deliver them to this yard?"
The old man refused, saying that these 200 kilograms of beans were enough.
Liang Xiaonan wanted to say that it was settled, but suddenly she heard footsteps in the distance. She stopped talking and raised her ears to listen carefully.
Guoqiang suddenly jumped up and asked nervously: "What are you listening to?"
"Does anyone usually come to this place?"
"No, no..." The old man was trembling with fear and said to her and Guoqiang, "Go quickly, hurry up, hide immediately."
Guo Qiang pulled him: "Fifth Grandpa, let's all leave quickly and leave the books alone. From now on..." He grabbed the old man and pulled him towards the entrance of the cave.
The old man burst into tears: "It's all my fault. When I came out just now, I was just happy and forgot to see if anyone was watching... You all should go quickly, children, books are my life, and I will die with these books."
