CHAPTER XXXI
The two of them just talked all the way and walked forward slowly.
They live in a wealthy neighborhood in the suburbs. The road to the city is smooth, and although the road surface is broken from time to time, the rusty road signs along the way always guide them in the direction of progress.
"This road used to be super busy." Julia looked at the shops on both sides of the road and said, "It's all high-end shops, probably because the villa area is here." ”
However, those originally glamorous and noble boutiques have now been unified into a dilapidated black hole, the bright glass has long been smashed, the large advertising pictures have been torn off more than half, and the English trademark with white characters on a black background has been eroded by several years of rain, and it is almost impossible to see what the brand is.
Julia looked at these shops with emotion, but Yin Zhen next to her was expressionless, as if he couldn't see what these shops meant.
Then, at the door of a Sephora, Julia stopped.
"What's wrong?" Yin Zhen saw that Julia's expression changed, her lips opened slightly, her eyes stared at the house on the street, and some light appeared in her pupils.
After a while, she shook her head: "It's nothing, let's go." ”
Yin Zhen didn't give up, he also poked his head into the Sephora: "What? Do you have anything to eat? ”
Julia was helpless: "Stupid, that's Sephora, where will there be food?" ”
"What is Sephora?"
"A woman's paradise." She sighed softly, "I used to be able to stay inside for two hours on weekends. ”
"What are you for?" Yin Zhen came to curiosity, and he persevered.
"Lipstick, foundation, lotion, cream...... Isn't that all? ”
Yin Zhen frowned and thought hard for a long time: "Is it selling rouge gouache?" ”
"That's fine." Julia smiled, "Let's go, don't look at it." ”
Yin Zhen took a closer look at the store again: "Don't plan to go in and look for it?" ”
"Nope." Julia shook her head and said, "You can't eat or wear, what's the use of these things in this day and age?" ”
Despite what she said, Yin Zhen could hear the frustration and reluctance in Julia's tone.
It seems that after passing by the "rouge gouache" shop, Julia's expression is infected with depression. She no longer quarrels with Yin Zhen, let alone talking nonsense with chickens and ducks, she is in a heavy mood.
Yin Zhen wanted to ask her what was wrong, but he also knew why Julia was depressed.
"Lao Lu said what I said, in fact, I should use it to persuade you. The good days are over. Besides, if you are a people, how good can the life be? ”
Julia heard the arrogance in his tone, and couldn't help but sneer: "Well, I'm a flat-headed commoner, and you're a nobleman, and the toilets are all gold and jade, okay?" ”
"I haven't used a gold-inlaid toilet." Yin Zhen said with a straight face.
"I know you haven't used it." Julia snorted, "Although your family is rich, in my opinion, your life is not as good as that of me, a commoner." I haven't seen anything, I haven't heard of anything, what are you saving all that money for? Live like a Qing Dynasty person, what do your parents think? ”
Yin Zhen suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong with the Qing Dynasty?" He said in a strange tone, "Why are you talking about the Qing Dynasty like that?!" ”
Julia looked at him stunned: "What did I say?" Why are you angry again? ”
Yin Zhen's eyes looked fierce, as if he was angry, but he didn't make a sound.
"Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with the Qing Dynasty." Julia softened her tone, "My father and I don't think the same thing, and I don't think the emperors of the Qing Dynasty are extremely evil. Look at those concubines of Guangxu Tongzhi...... The appearance and figure, the winter melon into essence, one by one, makes me sympathetic. By analogy, I guess even if it is Yongzheng, who has the most glamorous/history, I'm afraid there are few beauties in the harem. ”
Yin Zhen was originally angry, but when he heard this, he was stunned: "Wait, Yongzheng has the most Yan/Shi?!" ”
"Isn't it? It's time to catch up with Emperor Yang of Sui. Of course, they are all made up by posterity. ”
Yin Zhen frowned and said, "Why? Why do you want to make up so many glamorous histories? ”
"Of course, it's because of his aggressive style, exaggerated emotions, and a bit of a pervert" - this sentence, Julia swallowed it back and didn't say it, because she remembered the lesson from last time.
"That...... Probably because everyone thinks he's very handsome. ”
For no reason, Yin Zhen sneered.
The two of them set off early in the morning and were a little tired by noon. Julia was looking for a place to rest for lunch, and when she looked up, her eyes lit up!
"Ah Zhen, look!" She gestured to a building across from her.
Yin Zhen took a closer look, and the low fence surrounded a garden-like place, and there were red block letters on the wall: Yucai Middle School.
"What?" He also looked at Julia with a puzzled expression.
"It's middle school, you know?" Julia said excitedly, "There must be a book rental next to the school. Ah Zhen, there is hope for your Tianlong Babu! ”
Hearing Julia say this, Yin Zhen was also happy: "Really? Let's find out! ”
Julia took Yin Zhen around the school, and sure enough, she found a rental bookstore.
The crooked sign of the book house had not yet fallen, the door was ajar, and the lock was casually hung on it. Julia walked to the door and cautiously looked inside.
The store is small, narrow and long, and although it is very dark inside, you can still see three or four rows of bookshelves.
The shelves are full of books.
"Luck!" Julia couldn't hold back the joy in her heart, and she touched the lock with her hand. The lock was not fastened, and it fell off with a slight tug.
"There's "Dragon Babu" in it, right?" Yin Zhen couldn't help but whisper excitedly.
"Definitely! I see it, woohoo! On the shelf over there are two red letters written 'martial arts'! Julia pointed, "Not only are there Tianlong Babu, I guess there are all the martial arts you can imagine!" ”
"That's great!" Yin really wanted to pull the door and get in, but was stopped by Julia.
"What?"
"Before I go in, I'll tell you something." Julia said seriously, "The big villain is Xiao Feng's father. ”
"Xiao Feng?" Yin Zhen was stunned, "Are you mistaken?" There is only one named Qiao Feng in it - South Murong and North Qiao Feng. ”
"Haha, I won't explain, Ah Zhen, you just need to remember: the big villain is Xiao Feng's father."
"Oh......"
Later, after a long time, Yin Zhen understood what Julia's behavior was called, and for this reason, he was so angry that he didn't talk to Julia for two or three days.
The two of them tried to open the door with light movements and entered the rental library.
As soon as she came in, Julia smelled the heavy musty smell in the room, she covered her nose, first looked around the store to make sure there were no zombies inside, and then took Yin Zhen to the martial arts bookshelf with confidence.
"Oh, Jin Yong's, Gu Long's, Liang Yusheng's, Huang Yi's...... Ahem, why is "Tomb Robbery Notes" also here? ”
Yin Zhen didn't care about Julia's verbosity, he only searched for what he wanted in the bookshelf, and after a while, he became happy: "Found it, the third and fourth!" ”
Yin Zhen pulled down two books that were about to be turned over from the shelf, the covers were gone, and I don't know how many fingers touched them were yellow and black, but fortunately, from the first page to the last page, there were no defects.
"Luckily, what about the second and fifth?" Julia asked.
"Keep looking. Sure you can find it! By the way, Julia, is there a serious history book in this house? ”
Julia shook her head: "How is that possible! This kind of place is full of pastime books, and Jin Yong is already very serious - do you want to find a Qing history manuscript? You'll have to go to the library. ”
Yin Zhen immediately stood up: "Where is the library?!" ”
Julia said angrily, "Stop dreaming. I heard Lao Lu say that our villa area is in the west, and the library is just in the east of the city, and the whole north and south poles are located. If you walk on two feet like this, I'm afraid you will have to walk for three or four days. ”
Yin Zhen was disappointed, but he still said, "Then I want to go too." ”
"Fool, even if you get there, you won't necessarily find the book. That kind of place is used as a refuge for citizens in times of emergency, and if you think about it, there must be piles of zombies. ”
This sentence scared Yin Zhen.
"I see you, just look for it in this kind of place, if you can find it, count your luck, don't be too discouraged if you can't find it, wait for God's mercy." Julia said, glancing around, and walked quickly to a shelf of books.
"Don't you want to read history books? Although this is not a history book, it is accurate, and it is not the way of interpretation in novels. ”
She tossed the book to Yin Zhen, who took it and looked at it, scoffing.
"What about the Ming Dynasty? Forget it, I know better than anyone else about the Ming Dynasty, and I still use him to tell me? He threw the book away.
"You're a man." Julia said angrily, "Aren't the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty all the same thing? Anyway, it's just watching and playing. ”
"It's really the same thing for you fool." Yin Zhen said sarcastically.
"You want to be beaten again, don't you?" Julia glared at him.
Yin Zhen was silent, and continued to look down for the remaining two Tianlong Babu.
Julia leaned aside and flipped through: "Just want the Eight Dragons?" Not interested in anything else? ”
"Something else?" Yin Zhen looked up at her blankly, "What else is there to see?" ”
"Gu Long's don't want to see it? "Chu Liuxiang". Julia took a copy.
Yin Zhen took it, turned two pages, and slowly leaned against the bookshelf: "...... Well, this one is interesting too. ”
Julia touched it: "Oh, let's be lucky today, you see, there is also "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", a full set." ”
Yin Zhen took it: "What are you talking about?" ”
"Wei Xiaobao, don't you know? Kangxi's good friend. ”
"Kangxi?! You mean Kangxi! Yin Zhen was very excited for some reason, he was stunned for a moment, "Then, what is a good friend?" ”
Julia thought for a moment: "If you are better than a good friend, you will be called a good friend." ”
Yin Zhen was very surprised: "Who wrote this book?" ”
"Jin Yong, he is the one who wrote Tianlong Babu. Alas, Ah Zhen, how come you don't know anything? ”
"Then I'll take this one back with me too!"
Julia almost fainted: "There are a lot of copies of "The Legend of Deer and Ding"! With so many books, you're going to be exhausted! ”
"Since it's a matter of the Kangxi Dynasty, I must bring it back!" Yin Zhen said stubbornly.
"Can't stand your ......"
Unexpectedly, Yin Zhen picked up the first book, read a few pages carefully, and suddenly dropped the book of Lu Ding Ji!
"What's wrong again?" Julia was startled.
Yin Zhen's face didn't seem to be very good, and he muttered, "...... It's nothing. This Jin Yong dared to ...... Right...... In short, he was dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty! ”
Julia was stunned: "How come! I think Kangxi on TV looks like a positive character! Quite flattering. Since the characters in the pen are written so well, Jin Yong must be on Kangxi's side! ”
Yin Zhen was stunned: "Really?" ”
He bent down and picked up the book again, but he still muttered: "But at the beginning of this book, Gu Yanwu was written, and he criticized current affairs, which is naturally wrong!" ”
Julia began to understand again: what else is there to talk about today?
But she didn't bother to care about Yin Zhen anymore, so she simply went to other bookshelves to search for books that she could read.
"Hmm...... These are all romances, hey, Ah Zhen, there are a lot of clear clothes here! It's all related to Yongzheng! Do you look at it? Aren't you interested in him? ”
Yin Zhen raised his head and said, "What kind of books are they?" ”
"In other words, it's all a story of beauty and Yongzheng talking about love!"
"Tell them to get out!"
Julia turned around and was about to make a joke with Yin Zhen, but suddenly, the laughter was stuck in her throat!
A zombie is standing next to the bookshelf behind Yin Zhen!
