Chapter 7 The book has its own story
Jiu Wentian walked into the study, he was not controlled by curiosity like those children, since Manager Cao didn't let him move in that room, then he didn't want to go and do his job well.
This study is huge, and it occupies an area that is as big as a football field in Jiuwentian's opinion, such a large study is densely packed with bookshelves, only a table is placed behind the door, and the table is full of study accounts, it seems that no one wants to work in this place, because the accounts are messy, and it doesn't look like someone has sorted it out at all.
Jiu Wentian tidied up, picked out an unfinished account sheet and put it in a clean place, then picked up the brush on the table, and used the tools to grind the ink. Jiu Wentian thought to himself that he was fortunate to have learned the brush when he was fine, otherwise he would not have been able to complete this thing.
On the empty column of the account sheet, it is written that the manager of the study has been changed to Jiu Wentian.
Jiu Wentian compared the handwriting of his predecessors, and couldn't help but have a sense of superiority, because the manager's handwriting was really ugly, and his own italics looked particularly comfortable.
After cleaning the study, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and Jiu Wentian saw a very thin book, so he took it down and put it on his desk. Although this book is clean and tidy, it is also a little old, and the pages are almost broken when they are turned over, and the words are not particularly good-looking, there is a feeling of looking at traditional characters.
Jiu Wentian thought to himself that he had nothing to do anyway, so it was better to copy this book by himself, first, to practice calligraphy, and secondly, to give this book a new life, how comfortable it would be to read.
Jiu Wentian took out a clean notebook and copied it according to the words on the cover, "History of the Ancient City".
Well, it turned out to be a history book, but the author didn't write it, it seems that this book may just be an essay, and it is estimated that the genuine version has been sorted out. But this essay may be a valuable thing.
"History of the Ancient City" tells the history of a city three hundred years ago, and it can be seen intermittently that this city is constantly at war, and there are evil beasts staring at this city in the "darkness", but it is sealed in the "darkness" by a mysterious person. Whenever that time comes, he will come out to endanger the world, and forget to remember it for future generations. This was the first thing three hundred years ago.
The second thing is that there is a group of high-ranking people living in a certain cave, they are the messengers who maintain the old city, but in the time of the day, the moon and the moon, those messengers are no longer in the cave, but when the old city is in danger, the descendants of this group of messengers will stand up to protect the old city.
The third thing is about the Great War a hundred years ago, which is the story of the people of the ancient city rebelling against foreign invaders, but the notes also tell the story intermittently, picking the refined places to talk about it. After copying it for a long time, I found that this war was a bit like the Seven Heroes Fighting for Hegemony during the Warring States Period, and it also briefly brought the practices of several cities and the experience of the old city.
In the end, it was simply said that after the unyielding struggle of the people of the old city, the old city was finally defended. Next is the author's exclamation, "After all, the evil beasts of three hundred years ago have not been able to compare with the cannibalism of humans." ”
Jiu Wentian nodded, thinking that sure enough, what was terrifying in this world was not anything else, but human beings themselves.
Finally, on the last page of the book, a folded piece of yellow paper fell out, Jiu Wentian picked it up and was about to open it, but he didn't expect a tall man to come in, Jiu Wentian threw the yellow paper into the drawer, and then asked, "My lord, what do you need?"
This man looks tall, but he is a little thin and has the feeling of a paper tiger. The man said, "It turns out that someone has taken over here, and when there was no one before, I always took the book myself and registered." I'm sorry for the trouble for the little brother. ”
Jiu Wentian also replied: "You don't have to care, what you need, just go and get it yourself." I just arrived this morning and am not yet familiar with the location of the books. ”
The man nodded, and suddenly saw the book and notebook on Jiu Wentian's desk, and picked up the book excitedly, but he didn't expect it to shatter as soon as he used the book, but he didn't feel a trace of embarrassment, but immediately picked up the notebook, he looked at the notebook in fascination, and shouted: "Wizard, genius......! This one...... It's ......"
The man put the book in his arms, and then whispered: "My name is Cao Tianyun, don't tell others about this book, I'll take this book first, you tell me if you translated it yourself?"
"Translation?" Jiu Wentian was a little confused, but nodded and said, "This is what I copied." ”
Cao Tianyun gasped and said: "Don't tell others about this book, I haven't found it for a few months, I thought it was a delicate book, but I didn't expect it to be just an essay." Listen to me, don't tell anyone. ”
"Okay," Jiu Wentian didn't want to know anything else, "then I'll register first." ”
"No!" Cao Tianyun yelled, then realized that he had lost his temper, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, this book can't see the light, it's the ...... I beg you"
At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door, and a female voice said, "May I ask Jiu Shuguan, do you need to eat?"
Cao Tianyun didn't say anything more, and staggered out quickly. Jiu Wentian asked to bring the food in, and then it was a maid who came in.
Jiu Wentian asked her, "Who was that person just now?"
"He," the maid said unhurriedly: "He is the son of Mr. Cao, but his mind is a little abnormal, this study was originally taken care of by him, but Mr. Cao saw that he was addicted to books all day long, and from time to time he would say a few strange words, suspecting that he had read some abnormal books, and then transferred him away." But he still ran here when he had time, and then Mr. Cao simply ignored him and left him to fend for himself. ”
"This Mr. Cao is really big-hearted. ”
"Jiu Shuguan, I see that you are relatively small, and you shouldn't say something. The maid paused, waiting for permission from Jiu Wentian.
Jiu Wentian nodded and agreed.
The maid continued: "Jiu Shuguan, I heard that this Cao Tianyun is obsessed with history all day long, and is often possessed by historical figures, it is very scary, if he comes to the academy again, you can blast him out." Mr. Cao wouldn't say anything, he hoped so. ”
"Okay, I see, you go down. Jiu Wentian said lightly.
The maid serves the master, this maid is a food deliverer, she knows what to say and what not to say, Jiu Wentian is just a child, and Cao Tianyun is a fool. The maid's experience tells herself that this child seems to have a good relationship with the city lord, and it is not a problem to have a good relationship with himself and master a small child, as for Cao Tianyun, what is the use of a fool?
It is said that officialdom and the workplace are not easy, everyone has their own thoughts, and they have their own intentions in what they do.
