The 570th round
The most precious collection of books in Xicheng is not in the public bookstore, but in the private collection of the Bai family.
It is also a book city, and not many people know about it, so there is not much traffic in normal times. There is also a library room that can only be entered by appointment and registration of professor-level character certificates, because the books inside are too precious to open to the public.
Book lovers regard books as more important than their lives, and they are easily reluctant to borrow them. If it is a loan, the other party must be someone you can trust. Of course, there are a few scumbags in each group, and these people are relatively reliable overall.
The book city has also been built for more than 30 years, and from a former small house to a building today, basically all the books are still in perfect condition, just a little older.
"The books here are the oldest," Uncle Bai took Su Xing to the last library and asked her with a smile, "Look at them, do you have any ideas?"
With a little energy, Su Xing let go of her youngest son's hand, took out a thread-bound book and flipped through it. The paper is yellow, but there is still a strong scent of ink coming out, proving that they are well preserved.
"These are not originals. ”
It is impossible for the original thread-bound book to have the fragrance of ink, and the paper is relatively thin and fragile, and the contrast between the hand and the touch is very obvious.
Uncle Bai nodded, with a slight sigh, "It's really not, the original is hidden in another place." Those texts are so precious that no one dares to put them on the table lightly. ”
Su Xing turned the page thoughtfully, she had never been here in her future memory. Whenever she needed any information, she only needed to make a phone call to Senior Brother Lin or Professor Wen, and the relevant books would arrive by express delivery the next day.
It had been like this for a long time, so she never thought there would be such a book city.
Su Xing hesitated, "Can I go and have a look?"
If she could, she wanted to take a picture and put it in her ancient paintings, and when the troubled times came, she would immediately teleport over and remove them all and hide them.
But Uncle Bai shook his head, "Not now, with your ability, it will not be a problem to enter and exit the library freely in the future, but your qualifications today are not good." Xiao Su, there is no end to learning, and my uncle really hopes that you can continue to work hard. ”
Work hard to further your studies and contribute to the history of ancient culture.
"I've been working hard, I just don't have a degree. Su Xing smiled and said, "If people need me in the future, I will do what I can." "Like phone calls.
Anyway, she didn't want to join the archaeological team anymore.
The team she was following was a long way away and very dangerous, either her own people died to protect her, or she protected her own people to lure the enemy into the trap. She didn't want to repeat the experience of killing people without burden, and she was even more worried that she would harm her family by exposing her abilities.
Her attitude remained the same, and Uncle Bai and Wen Lao had long accepted the reality.
"Ambition is not old, and capable people are not bad for a diploma. Uncle Bai was helpless and handed her a scanning pen, "In June, we will print a batch of books and send them to the book city in the city center, you can come and see, which ones you like, I will ask you to print a few more sets and send them back to your countryside to keep and read slowly." ”
"Thank you, uncle. Su Xing happily took it and thanked the old man.
So, when she saw what she liked, she scanned it, and Uncle Bai didn't know where to move a few sets for her to scan together.
The two of them got busy.
Outside the library, in the book city, a curious two-year-old baby holds a big red apple in his right hand, looking around in the spacious and bright corridor.
A strangely shaped little robot followed him inch by his side, also looking around and shaking his head, and nagging from time to time: "What are you looking at, what are you shopping? You can't understand it, isn't it good to stay by Mrs. honestly?"
It thought that Xiao Ran ran a few steps and turned back, but it didn't expect that the little milk baby actually ran to the outside of the library with great perseverance, and after a while, Mrs. couldn't find anyone and should be in a hurry.
Xiao Ran ignored it, the smell of this place made him curious, and he walked forward to take a look. When he poked his little head out and looked out of the corridor, and saw the high dome hanging over, the little milk baby opened his little mouth in amazement:
"Wow-"
"Awesome!" Xiao Neng dutifully explained to the little pot friend, "This kind of roof is found in many places, the West is colorful, with various patterns, and the East is more pure ...... color, representing pure and elegant."
This bizarre little combination makes passers-by curious and funny, when they see the baby leaning out of the corridor, passers-by are afraid that he will fall out and run over, but the little robot next to him is the first to hold the baby's waist.
The olive head slowly turned and stared at the passerby, "Thank you, good Samaritan." Go play with peace of mind, it's safe with me. ”
Passerby: "......" strange things happen every year, especially this year.
The shape of this robot is not modern, but its function is novel, and it can communicate with humans.
Seeing the hesitation of passers-by, Xiao Neng continued: "If you insist on blocking it, I will suspect that the traffickers are attacking and attacking." Please don't risk my wife's wealth, the owner refuses to give her pocket money, so she feels very sorry for the money. ”
With that, the black screen in front of his forehead lit up again and flashed two blue lights, successfully scaring passers-by back a few steps.
Madame was so impressed by the fact that she had to save money for her by frugality.
Several passers-by burst out laughing, and when they saw that the baby had stood firmly, they looked up at them with an innocent expression, and one of them smiled and said, "Then you have to be obedient, don't make any more dangerous moves to make people misunderstand." ”
"Understood. The little machine answered, turned back to the baby and said, "Do you hear that?" The so-called dangerous move is what you just ......, waving your little steel claws to passers-by, and continuing the book city adventure with your friends.
After a cup of tea, the news of a pair of cute little living treasures wandering around the book city spread.
Many people came to take a few glances from afar, or to listen to the conversation between the two living treasures at a short distance. But don't get too close to them, because the robot strictly forbids everyone to get too close to their little owner.
Fortunately, there are not many people here, it is not crowded, and the two small roads are unimpeded.
When he climbed the stairs and was about to arrive at the gate of the book city, the security guard of the book city stood in the middle of the door with a smile and was ready to block the baby's way. There was also a masculine man standing next to him, smiling curiously at the approaching of the two little ones.
However, the little robot saw that there was a gate in front of him, so he refused to leave, and decisively stepped forward to block the little master's way.
"Xiao Ran, Madame is looking for us, let's go back. ”
"Mom?" Xiao Ran called as she looked at it.
"Yes, Mom is looking for you, and she left when she couldn't find you. Xiao Neng's mind has parenting experience of all ages, in other words, coaxing.
"Mom?" Xiao Ran stood and looked around.
Only Xiao Neng understood what he meant, stepped forward to take his hand, and pointed to the back, "Mom is over there." ”
After walking for most of the day, the little baby was also tired and wanted to go back to her mother's arms to rest.
So he opened his little short legs, shook a pair of small hands and walked back excitedly, but unexpectedly, the big apple in his hand fell, and rolled all the way to the feet of the man next to the security uncle.
