Book seller: "It's not a book, it's a manuscript, and the cost is high." ”

Niu Liang: "Why don't you take it to the publishing house to publish?"

The bookseller paused for a moment before he said: "This is a forbidden book of the times, just like Copernicus's heliocentrism said in medieval Europe, which publishing house would dare to publish it?

Niu Liang took a closer look at the book seller: he was in his thirties, wearing a pair of glasses, his hair was nearly halfway, his ears were long, he had a short beard, his face was not beautiful and ugly at first glance, and there was a trace of handsomeness hidden between his eyebrows. Half elegant, half reckless. The book he had just read had been closed by him, and the title of the book was "The Legend of the Giants", probably from the European Renaissance. Then Niu Liang sighed and said: "It's really at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the important land of Gyeonggi, there are dragons and crouching tigers everywhere!"

The bookseller's throat was a little astringent: "What kind of dragon and tiger—— I don't have to ask for food except for a few manuscripts now!"

"The hero is in trouble, but I haven't worked yet-" Niu Liang hesitated for a while, and then said, "Okay, how about giving you fifty?"

The book seller smiled faintly and said, "Okay! Seeing that you are a knowledgeable and courageous person, I will sell it to you at the cost price!"

Niu Liang picked up the book, flipped through it, collected it, got on his bicycle, and quickly rushed home. Niu Liang read the book in one breath overnight, and in the process, his thinking also changed dramatically. What he thought was shameless is now less ugly, but more righteous. He put the book in his hand on the bedside table, leaned back on the back of the bed, and couldn't help but think of his thoughts again:

"Do you want to do it?...... There is no turning back. There is absolutely no hope of finding a bank loan, there is no guarantee, there is no collateral, and especially the mother cannot be let know that the money has not been settled...... You can't give up driving a taxi and go back to school, and there's nothing wrong with doing it......"

He remembered what Wei Lai, one of the protagonists of the novel, said in his speech: "All human exchange activities that conform to the principles of voluntariness, autonomy, equality, and mutual benefit and do not harm the interests of others around them are rational and legal, and are morally good!"

He got up from the bed, sat down at his desk, took out his notebook, and wrote down the sentence on it. He was determined to make it his general guideline for future conduct. He seems to have been reborn as a different person. He re-examines the world and feels that although the current society has made great progress compared to the past, there are still many inhumane dogmas that hinder people's path to freedom. He can no longer be swayed by these ideas and lose his pursuit of a happy life. He must reconstruct in his mind the values of the world and develop the potential for happiness with a more open mind. No wise man can afford to do it, but his life and deeds must be full of righteousness, and only then can he attain a full and noble experience of happiness.

When Niu Liang's mental journey completed such a transformation, he couldn't help but regard the book seller as a prophet of truth. One day not long after, he couldn't help but go to the clearing in the woods again, trying to meet him again and have a good conversation, but unexpectedly, people went to the sky and disappeared. He never met the mysterious book seller since.

Niu Liang made up his mind, turned off the lights, and lay down on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy yet. After a while, I turned over, and I couldn't help thinking:

"I heard that people in this area should not only be handsome, but also have some skills......"
