As soon as school ended at noon, Zhao Xiaoguo and his three good buddies rushed out of the classroom like a flying boy, rushed all the way down, and sure enough, they were the first to leave the school gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A short distance across the school gate is a rental bookstore.

"Boss, has "Dragon Babu" arrived?"

These three are all old book lovers, and the membership card has been done for several years, and the boss is naturally familiar with it, but when he heard the words, he smiled and said: "You guys are one step late, I just sent five copies in the morning, and all of them were rented out!"

"Huh?" Zhao Xiaoguo was furious when he heard this, "Didn't you say that you would leave us three copies?"

The boss sighed helplessly, "Yes, I know, but people are willing to pay the price of five yuan a day, and they said that they will pay it back before six o'clock in the afternoon!

Zhao Xiaoguo was speechless when he heard this.

Don't look at it as an old bookworm, but after all, it's a poor student, and it's true that you have a membership card here, but since the third part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the price has risen, and during the new book, members have been promoted to two dollars a day, and non-members are simply three dollars a day.

Now someone pays five yuan a day to rent books, although Zhao Xiaoguo is a student, he also knows that how can he be a boss and not make money?

But yesterday, someone in the class next door had already bought "Dragon Babu", which made them a bunch of old bookworms greedy, they couldn't stand it, it was Jin Yong's new work!

As a result, they made an appointment in advance, and they were the first to rush over after school, but they still didn't grab it!

Zhao Xiaoguo was indignant, "Why don't you leave us a copy!"

His classmates couldn't help but complain, "Why don't you buy more of Jin Yong's books? There are also people willing to rent ten or twenty books!"

The boss squinted his eyes and smiled, and quickly turned into a helpless face, "If you can rent it as well as "Shooting the Condor", then I will make up the book in a few days, but if the rent is not good, I will enter ten or twenty copies in one go, and I will not pay to death! The delivery person said, this "Dragon Babu" is only given a 20% discount, 16 yuan a piece, classmates! How much do you rent a day, I have to rent eight times to get back, do you know?"

Zhao Xiaoguo immediately retorted when he heard this, "This is Jin Yong's new book, and it is definitely no worse than "Shooting the Condor"! Alas, why are you so timid in business!"

The boss smiled, "I have a total of ten square meters of storefront, and the rent is so expensive every month, dozens of yuan is a lot of money, young master!"

Zhao Xiaoguo couldn't say anything about him, so he reluctantly exchanged glances with the two iron buddies, and at this moment, someone was already running over quickly, still panting, and asked: "Is "Tianlong Babu" coming?"

The boss pointed at Zhao Xiaoguo with a smile and said, "They came faster than you, and they didn't grab it!"

After a pause, he smiled unintentionally: "Who asked you to make up the class! If you don't make up the class, you will wait here for me in the morning, and you will definitely see the new book at this time!"

A group of boys sighed one after another.

Originally, I started to make up classes before I entered the third year of high school, and things were depressing enough, but because I couldn't grab a new book to read because of the make-up class, I was naturally even more depressed!

Seeing that there were more people, many people went straight to the rented bookstore here when they left the school gate, Zhao Xiaoguo and the three of them left the rented bookstore and walked away a few steps away, thinking about it, they were very unwilling. Thinking about it, someone in the next class has been holding a book and reading it all morning, and it's even more itchy.

Zhao Xiaoguo suddenly put his hand into his pants pocket, took out a few banknotes, and opened them, "I have six yuan, you two will find a way to get ten yuan, let's go buy one!"

His two classmates were stunned when they heard this, but their eyes lit up immediately.

That's right, you can buy it!

In the past, these poor students were reluctant to spend a dozen yuan to buy books, or mainly to rent books, after all, they read books quickly, one book a day, they used to read new books a day, but now the price has risen to only two yuan, which is much more cost-effective than buying books, not to mention that if you look back at those old books that have been on the market for more than a month, one book a day is only two cents, which is very cost-effective!

But the problem is that now depending on the situation, although "Dragon Babu" has just started to release the first part, the popularity is no less than the third and fourth parts of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

As soon as Zhao Xiaoguo finished speaking, his two classmates glanced at each other and reached out to take out the money.

One took out four yuan, and the other actually took out a "big bill" of ten yuan!

Zhao Xiaoguo's eyes lit up, "Good guy, you really take advantage of the money!"

His buddy smiled and said, "I just asked my mom for it this morning, and that's all for the next few days!"

Zhao Xiaoguo immediately made a decision, "Buy!"

As he spoke, he took the four yuan in the other person's hand, handed it to the other one, and then took his ten yuan, always in his hand, and said proudly: "Let's not rent it anymore, let's buy it ourselves! This is also a support for idols!

The other two nodded.

The guy who came out with four yuan had sparkling eyes, and said: "I estimate that Lao Chen's rented bookstore here will definitely be difficult to rent next, the three of us can rent it out after reading it, we can also rent it out, we will charge one dollar a day, maybe we can earn back the money to buy books, what do you say?"

The other two people's eyes lit up when they heard this, and Zhao Xiaoguo patted him directly on the shoulder, "Okay, you kid, it is worthy of your ancestors who carried the burden of selling vegetables, and it is really a belly of business! Okay, just do it! I will give six yuan, and Cheng will also give six yuan, he will look first, I will look later, you will pay four yuan, you will be the last one!"

The three of them had made up their minds, and they all looked high-spirited.

Zhao Xiaoguo put sixteen yuan in his pocket and said, "Let's go, brother, buy books!"

As he spoke, three sixteen or seventeen-year-old men shouted excitedly and ran.

However, it backfired.

Twenty minutes later, they stood in another bookstore, and all they got was the same sentence, "Out of stock, sold out!" But if you're willing to wait, I'll have it here tomorrow!"

Zhao Xiaoguo cried with a sad face, "Then you don't have any goods here, do you know where you can have them elsewhere?"

This question is stupid, it is said that peers are enemies, and it is unlikely that the shopkeeper will tell them, so as to drive away their potential customers, but the three children look at the eyes, unlike this one, and he is out of stock anyway, he directly pointed out a clear way, "If Dongguan Bookstore is out of stock, then there will definitely be no goods anywhere in the city! But just a little, expensive! It is generally the original price, and it is nine percent off!"

Expensive also go!

Another twenty minutes later, "Dragon Babu" arrived!

It is said that after I bought it, there were only three or two copies left in the Dongguan Bookstore!

It's just a copy!

Although it sells for a really expensive price, twenty dollars a book!

But it doesn't matter, after all, I bought it, after all, I can already start watching it!

The three of them all had empty pockets, but they were all very excited, and Zhao Xiaoguo was in charge of carrying the books at noon, because he had a place to hide - there was a stack of bricks outside his house, and he often hid the books he didn't dare to take home!

Go home, get scolded, just find an excuse to explain why you came back so late, hurriedly picked up a few bites of food, there was no time to take a nap, and hurried to school!

Okay, let's take a look at the ten yuan first, Zhao Xiaoguo is itching.

As a result, he couldn't finish watching it in an afternoon, so Zhao Xiaoguo had to urge him to watch it quickly, while continuing to wait. As a result, at ten o'clock in the evening, Chengzi did not come to knock on the door to deliver the book.

Zhao Xiaoguo was lying on the bed, unable to sleep, staring at his eyes and fantasizing, what kind of story does this book tell, how beautiful and beautiful its story should be! It must be better than Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and there must be characters in the book who are more powerful than Huang Laoxie and Wang Chongyang!

I thought about it and suffered in every way, until it was more than one o'clock in the middle of the night, and finally I fell asleep!

As a result, he got up early the next morning, didn't need his mother to call him, ate a few bites of food hastily, and trotted to the door of Chengzi's house to ask him to go to school together, and the result was ...... Chengzi came out with dark circles!

However, I still haven't finished reading it.

Zhao Xiaoguo was furious, and the other was also quite complaining, "I knew that you shouldn't have read it first, I read much faster than you!"

Na Chengzi had no choice but to beg his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and compensated the two of them in a row, and at the same time couldn't help but explain: "No way, if it weren't for my mother, I would have finished reading it a long time ago." The key is that my mother checked the night, if I hadn't been clever last night, my mother would have accepted this book!"

Then he continued to beg, "Two, two, it's my fault this time, you let me go for another half a day, I don't have much left, and it'll be over soon!"

The man wanted to say more, but Zhao Xiaoguo was simply, "Don't say it, Ren Chengzi has ten yuan, he will read it first, and there is nothing to quarrel about!

In the third class in the morning, Chengzi finished reading.

Zhao Xiaoguo took the book like holding a ginseng fairy fruit, the teacher on the podium was talking about ABCD, and he saw it in the audience with his eyebrows fluttering -, Duan Yu's luck is really awesome! This Mu Wanqing is so beautiful, so simple, it would be nice if Wang Yumeng in our class was like her, whoever pulls her hand first, she will marry whoever in this life! Then I have to be the first to rush up! It is useless for Lao Liu to be bigger than me, when it comes to that time, it is about who is smart, he will definitely not be able to get me, Wang Yumeng must be mine!

Looking at it, he actually accidentally laughed.

Fortunately, the teacher on the podium was writing on the blackboard, and they were sitting in the bottom two or three rows, the teacher didn't care, so Chengzi quickly touched him, and his eyebrows danced, "Looks good, right?"

Zhao Xiaoguo nodded hurriedly, Chengzi felt itchy in his heart, and couldn't help spoilers, "The back is better-looking, Duan Yu has obtained the Six-Vein Divine Sword, which is particularly powerful!"

Zhao Xiaoguo had a book in his hand, so he reluctantly agreed, but continued to look down at the book, and the person next to him couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice: "What is the Six Veins Divine Sword?"

Chengzi immediately wanted to speak proudly, just as the teacher finished writing the blackboard, turned around and continued to explain, the classmates in front of them were already quite dissatisfied with their constant exchange of ears, he had to shut up, take the homework book to the last page, write the words "Six Veins Divine Sword", and write below: The world is unlearned......

I saw that I bought a book together but only paid four yuan, so I had to be the last to read the book, and I couldn't help but feel even more itchy!

Students have always been one of the important readers of martial arts novels, but it is generally difficult for students to become the main force in buying physical books of martial arts novels. You say that music albums, CDs, or tapes are not much cheaper than a book, but parents generally believe that although listening to songs is not much help for learning, after all, it is just after class and listening to it, and it is not completely unacceptable.

But martial arts novels are different!

Chinese have always had the habit of reading novels, since "Sou Shen Ji", relatively early various strange novels, in the history of Chinese literature is not uncommon, to the Ming Dynasty Shun Dynasty, novels as the main body of citizen literature, is even more vigorous, especially the Ming Dynasty as the peak of classical novels, in one fell swoop dedicated four famous works - "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Jin Ping Mei".

First of all, they have a good story, which is very popular and loved by readers at the time, so that they can become famous within a certain range, and then they can talk about their literary nature.

After all, in the final analysis, the novel was written for people to read, especially at the beginning of the birth of the novel, and it was written for the new burghers of the Ming Dynasty.

In the last years of the Shun Dynasty, the country and the dynasty had no great changes in three thousand years, social turmoil, and the people were struggling to make a living, but literature was radiating great vitality in such troubled times.

Starting from "The Legend of the Swordsman and Heroes", modern and modern Xianxia novels flourished, and from the same period "The Legend of Qi Shaobao Ping", modern martial arts novels began to appear.

Before the 40s, the power of martial arts novels was still weak, but after 20 or 30 years of faults, martial arts novels revived in the sixties and seventies, and by the seventies and eighties, there were many famous artists.

Basically, at this time in the year 2000, almost nine out of ten people under the age of forty, especially men, have read martial arts novels.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the popularity of the current generation in their thirties and forties that is the fundamental reason for the great prosperity of martial arts novels - the continued popularity of martial arts movies and martial arts TV series is actually just a continuation of the popularity of martial arts novels.

But it is this group of people who also liked to read martial arts novels when they were young, and when they grew up to be the heads of the family and had children, they strictly forbade their children to read novels!

Still buying?

That's all idle books!

Now that I think about it, if I hadn't been addicted to martial arts novels, I wouldn't have even been able to get into a public university?

As a result, there is at least one rental bookstore in front of a school, which is already the standard configuration of the school.

If you don't want to buy it, I'll rent it.

If I can't rent it, I'll scrape together the money to buy it!

Then, when Jin Yong, who created a great reputation among readers of martial arts novels with a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", released a new book, it can be said that since "Dragon Babu" was first released, things like Zhao Xiaoguo and his people pooled money to buy books have been happening all over the country.

But this is not surprising, what is surprising is that within a few days of effort, many children who either rent books or are forced to use pocket money to buy books suddenly found that there is an extra copy of "Dragon Babu" at home.
