Chapter 5 Used Bookstores
When I returned to the cottage area outside London, it was already about six o'clock in the afternoon.
Grace parked the car, and in the rearview mirror she could see Goering, who had been standing by the side for a long time. He seemed preoccupied, wondering if he had found something.
"Hi Grace, wine. β
Seeing the two coming down, Goering stretched out his hand and greeted him warmly.
Grace rolled her eyes and waved her hand, all of which seemed to be expected by her, but still surprised her,
"My God, Goering, you're not going to get off work and stay here all the time, are you?"
Goering's expression was serious, he was a gentle, inquisitive man, but now he tried to pretend to be serious, as if he wanted to say something important, pointed to the strange room over there, and then with a knowing expression,
"I know, Grace, you've been trying to fix that house. But that house is weird, so many people have died, and even the government can't do anything about it, you know that. You're my neighbor, I don't want to see you have any problems, and the wine is a friend of my master in the East, and I don't want him to have any problems with me. I hope you don't take him to find a way. β
Grace was still smiling, she was not an unreasonable person, and she was just about to say something. The ginger sake on the side stretched out his hand,
"Goering, I think you're mistaken. We were indeed looking for a solution to the problems in that house, but it was my own request. β
Looking around, perhaps because it was too close to the strange house, there were very few pedestrians in this area.
He took out a charm, brown and yellow, three fingers wide, more than twenty centimeters long, with some oriental mysterious runes written on it in red cinnabar.
Goering's eyes lit up, and his heart was full of curiosity and expectation, was this friend who had been instructed by the masters of Qingcheng Mountain really a mysterious monk from the East?
Grace had already seen the methods of alcohol before, but now she was a little less than the feeling she had seen for the first time. is generally in love, often the first person at the beginning, and the impact is also the most profound, and it is almost impossible to get back the original feeling later.
"Goering, your master once told you that there are monks who can fly. β
Jiang Qingjiu had a bit of confidence on his face, yes, I'm the kind who can fly.
Goering had a surprised and incredulous expression, he had thought that wine was a monk, but he never thought that the wine would be a monk who could fly to the sky, and to be able to fly to the sky, wasn't that a god in Eastern mythology?
"Don't make such jokes, wine. You must know that in your east, those who can fly to the sky are immortals in the eyes of ordinary people. β
Although he said that he didn't believe it much, his tone was full of anticipation.
Looking at the two foreigners, if they really fly in front of them, how will they react.
The charm was sacrificed, the light in the center of the eyebrows flashed, the two fingers connected the light point, and the three-finger-wide charm instantly disappeared.
W-what is this? The unique trick of the East? Goering was obviously a little disappointed.
At this time, I saw Jiang Qingjiu giving birth to wind under his feet, and a tiny single plate under his feet was born, and his body was as light as a swallow, pointing on the road plate and jumping into the sky.
Indifferently, Goering and Grace couldn't see these Dao disks under their feet, and from their perspectives, they could only see that the Oriental man in front of them was really coming and going freely in the air, like a god.
Jiang Sake was a mystical monk of the East, and a powerful monk, which had reached a common notion in the hearts of the two.
Ginger sake falls steadily from the sky, clean and scorching. At this time, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a veil of mystery, and the reports about Dongfang Huaxia that the two of them had seen in the news in the past few days had all the fantasies about the mysterious Dongfang monk in their hearts surged even more again.
It seems that the East is extremely mysterious and awe-inspiring.
Goering stretched out his hand and motioned for the two to step forward,
"Go to the house and tell me. β
......
The three of them went back and forth into Goering's house, and the little civet was well fed, lazily lying on the windowsill, staring vigilantly at the strange house on the right.
"Tell me what you've found out today, and maybe I can help you. β
Goering glanced at the cottage on his right, his eyes complicated.
His parents are dead inside, and it is conceivable that he should be the one who wants to unlock the secrets of the strange villa the most, but he restrains himself while being able to remind others, this sense is really rare.
He opened the fridge and took out a bottle of milk, and waved it at the two of them, both of whom shook their heads.
Returning to his place, he opened the glass bottle of milk, took a few sips, and let Grace talk about today's affairs.
Sure enough, seeing Jiang Sake drinking fresh milk by herself, Grace smiled sweetly, pouted, and said, "Okay." It seems that I can only talk about it. β
"The wine suspects that there may be evil spirits there. We didn't know much about this kind of thing, so we went to the British Museum to find out about evil spirits. In a book of "Demons in the Bible", we found some specific information about evil spirits, but due to the author's concealment, we had to drag a friend to find the author's descendants.
That is, Beckensfield, and we met the descendants of Vince Jean, the author of the book, from whom we have received very little information, and the old man seemed to know something, but he did not want to mention it, but he gave us the address: 10 Waldley Road. β
Goering listened attentively, intently.
"Waldlett Road, 10. Isn't that a second-hand bookstore?" he said suddenly, uncertainly, for he himself did not believe that such a coincidence could happen in this world.
"What's the matter, you know this store?"
Sure enough, it was this shop, and Goering was a little excited, and said, "When we went out to collect scenery today, we went to the second-hand bookstore. The bookshop is said to have been around for hundreds of years, with an ancient dΓ©cor and a rich collection of books, and a colleague of mine who used to be a custodian at the British Library praised the place as a treasure, because there were many of the books in it that were not available in the British Library. β
Grace's big brown eyes flashed, and she asked curiously, "Goering, can you tell me more about the second-hand bookstore, and if we want to settle the matter of that house, we must go to that bookstore." β
Goering did not refuse, and in his later narration, he was able to learn that there was only an old man and a teenager in the second-hand bookstore, like a grandfather and a grandson. The two of them are very kind, although they are only a short shot, but the grandfather and grandson still entertained them, but except for the colleague who had been a custodian and the old man talked for a while, due to the tight shooting time, there was not much contact with the grandfather and grandson at that time, and they left in a hurry.
Looking at Goering's somewhat lost look, Jiang Qingjiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing, we'll go there in person tomorrow." β
......
The night passed quickly, and I don't know why the house last night was unusually calm, like an ordinary small cottage.
At about eight o'clock in the morning, Grace came and knocked on the door of Goering's house, and she was ready to go.
Goering put his camera on his back and sat silently in the back seat of the car, he was ready for all this, he had to join in this action, otherwise according to him, he would feel guilty and regret it for the rest of his life.
The car started quickly, and Grace's operation level was naturally needless to say, which made Jiang Qingjiu even more curious about what she did before, she could have a lot of income, and she was familiar with driving skills, which seemed to indicate that her previous career was not so ordinary.
The destination is Wadlett Road, an old road lined with buildings that are centuries old, and for these reasons the road is not allowed to be opened to traffic, so people have to walk.
The car can only be parked somewhere else.
Grace parked the car in a nearby town, and the three of them got out of the car and walked towards Wadlett Road.
Just set foot on Waldlett Road, what you see in front of you has suddenly changed, although it is the same Scottish style building, but the buildings on this road are more ancient, full of vicissitudes and ancient charm, this is a unique building complex that can not be imitated in modern or modern times, even the layman who does not know how to do it, can also feel the extraordinary of these ancient buildings by sight.
This road does deserve to be protected in this way.
Goering had been here for a while, and naturally led the two of them through the long slender paths and stone-paved avenues.
Finally stopped at a location on the corner of the street, and there it was.
I was still curious about how Goering and his team found the second-hand bookstore, which had a large sign on the wall, which was somewhat conspicuous, and as long as they got closer, they could easily observe it. And no wonder.
Goering pointed to the second-hand bookstore with the sign of 'Kolbo Bookshop' and said, "This is it." β
Grace strode at the forefront of the three, she was like a diplomat of the three, with a straightforward personality and good conversation.
The door of the second-hand bookstore is one of those large double doors with brown frosted glass embedded in them, and a small golden copper bell hangs from the top of the door.
Grace looked back at the two of them and gently pushed the door open, and the brass bell made a crisp sound.
The layout of the interior is very simple, from the door to the innermost table where the boss sits, a total of 100 meters long, there are three neat rows of old books on the floor, and on either side is a mosaic bookcase that reaches to the roof, which is also full of books.
There was a table lamp from the last century on the innermost table, and the young man who was sitting reading a book behind the table stood up and asked politely, "Madam, two gentlemen, what books are you looking for?"
