The next day, Niu Liang didn't go out of the car because of his distress, and he got up very late, and didn't get up from bed until more than ten o'clock in the morning. Annoyed and panicked, he couldn't help but come to Liu Dong's residence, Liu Dong happened to be at home off duty, and the two chatted.

Niu Liang told his friend Liu Dong about his confusion and distress.

After listening to Niu Liang's statement, Liu Dong didn't understand, so he said to Niu Liang: "I don't understand why anymore...... Have you told Liu Kun and Lin Xuan about this?"

Niu Liang: "As soon as they finished the college entrance examination, they traveled to distant relatives' houses and left, and they haven't come back yet." …… But I think it's useless to say that it has anything to do with them. How can they analyze the causes of these complex social psychological and human phenomena that they have not been exposed to, experienced, or even heard of in school?"

Liu Dong: "Then what should you do?"

Niu Liang lowered his head and thought for a while, and said quietly: "If only I could find that person!"

"Who?" asked Liu Dong curiously.

"A strange man," Niu Liang paused, "a strange man I met in the ruins of the Old Summer Palace. ”

Then, Niu Liang told Liu Dong the story of his encounter with the mysterious book seller, and finally said: "It is really at the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the capital city, and there are dragons and crouching tigers everywhere! Maybe one day you will meet a fairy-like character!"

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Dong was a little unconvinced.

"Why am I lying to you! I bought his 'The World's No. 1 Strange Book' and put it in the box at home!"

"Can you show me?"

"Let's go, I'll take you to see it now!"

As he spoke, Niu Liang picked up Liu Dong and walked out of the room. When he came to Niu Liang's bedroom, Niu Liang took out the book he bought from a small suitcase and handed it to Liu Dong. Liu Dong took the book and flipped through it. After looking at it for a while, he raised his head and looked at Niu Liang: "I didn't expect such a strange thing...... Can you lend me a look?"

Niu Liang: "Of course you can! But you have to keep it and don't show it easily." ”

Liu Dong: "I know this!"

As he spoke, Liu Dong looked at it again. Niu Liang said, "Take it back and look at it slowly! Now go out with me for a walk." ”

Liu Dong: "You mean to go to the forest in the ruins of the Old Summer Palace?"

Niu Liang: "I want to touch him again...... Maybe I won't be there at the right time that day!"

Liu Dong: "Okay! If you touch it, I'll see it too!"

Niu Liang first accompanied Liu Dong to put the book home, and then the two walked out of the alley and walked towards the undeveloped mysterious forest in the ruins of the Old Summer Palace. The scorching sun of midsummer baked the earth, and Niu Liang and Liu Dong didn't take a few steps on the street before they felt that they were about to become roast ducks, and they ran away for their lives, and finally entered the rural road under the thick shade. There is a saying: one thing descends one thing. The deep green on the tall trees seemed to have been cultivated into refinement, and the magic weapon of the sun was collected, and the two of them felt cool, and their bodies gradually became much more refreshed. Niu Liang and Liu Dong slowed down and talked as they walked.

Niu Liang: "The man looked to be in his thirties and forties, wearing a pair of glasses and a stubble beard, like a down-and-out literati! ”

Liu Dong: "Is this characteristic of his obvious in the book?"

Niu Liang: "It's especially obvious! Everywhere there are witty words, Cui Ren reflects! At the same time, you know, it's a novel -- the author expounds his truth in the form of a novel, and the story is also written in a bizarre twist and turn, sincere and touching! The language description is full of brilliant strokes, breathtaking!"

Liu Dong: "Then I have to study and study hard when I go back!"

Niu Liang: "Through his works, I found that he has studied many social problems and phenomena very deeply, so I suddenly thought that he might also have studied those phenomena and problems I encountered, so I wanted to come to him again." ”

Liu Dong: "It would be nice if I could meet that strange person!"
