Chapter 472 The Basement (One More Asking for Votes~)
The library in Qu's garden has now become a temporary shelter for a group of street children. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The books were stacked up as beds, pillows, tables, piled up in the open space to be used as firewood for cooking, or to tear open origami airplanes or serve as toilet paper.
Most of the rest are ready to be shipped to the scrap yard to be sold, and in the end they are either beaten into pulp for "scrap recycling", or they cannot escape the fate of being bought home as handwritten paper.
Zhou Xiaoan was so distressed after hearing this!
The Qu family is a family of scholars who have been inherited for hundreds of years, it is said that the ancestors of the scholars can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, when the Japanese invaded China, the Qu family tried their best to disperse most of the family wealth to keep the collection, but I didn't expect it to be ...... now
It is said that on the eve of liberation, the old lady of the Qu family passed away, and his children and grandchildren were scattered, and he fled to Taiwan in a hurry, taking only the gold and silver with him, and no one could care about the collection of books. Later, the workers' pickets broke into the house and burned the books for a day, which shows how huge the Qu family's collection of books is.
Other people's basements are gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and jade, and theirs are rare books.
The books that can be hidden by the Qu family must not be ordinary.
But now these books are so wasted, and they will soon be reduced to firewood, toilet paper, and even pulp for recycling, even Zhou Xiaoan, who has no sense of historical responsibility, can't stand it.
She had never thought about changing anything when she came to this plane, but at this moment she felt that she had to do something for these books.
"Little Potato, do they sell those books?" The price is right, you must sell it, right?
Little Potato smiled, he usually rarely laughs, and when he gets along with people, he must smile and purse his mouth, even if his lips are curled, the smile will not reach his face, so everyone always thinks that this child is gloomy and not easy to approach.
But in front of Zhou Xiaoan, he can always smile and show a neat little white teeth, and his warm smile goes straight to his eyes, especially cute and well-behaved, like all real good brothers.
"An An, if you like it, I'll give ......them to you," Xiao Tudou remembered what Da Dong and Xiao Dong relayed to him, and the conversation changed, "...... Buy it back. Let's buy those books back! ”
Then explained to Zhou Xiaoan in detail, "Qujia Garden is close to the suburbs of the city, it is not as convenient as the city, and there is nothing to pick up, we generally don't go there, and now that area is a territory called Ge Hongbing." I found a new face to buy from him, bought it all at once, and said that people who knew the paper mill would definitely not ask for a high price. ”
It's not just that you don't ask for a high price, you can just get something in exchange!
And I don't even ask who bought it.
Zhou Xiaoan listened to his thoughtful arrangement, and after thinking about it, he didn't seem to have anything to add, so he could only tell him, "Don't fight!" ”
Little Potato smiled again, "An An, don't worry, we don't fight." ”
Now there are really few people in Peizhou who dare to fight with them, and most of them are so frightened that they run away when they hear that the sixth son is coming, and it is estimated that only Zhou Xiaoan is always stupidly worried that someone is bullying him.
Little Potato wasn't going to tell her that.
He just hopes that she can always care about everything about him like this, just nag a few words if it's okay, little potato, don't fight! Don't be stubborn, little potato, if you can't win, you will run! Little Potato, did you do your homework? Little potatoes come home early in the evening! Little potato, you write me a review!
If she can always care about him like this, he doesn't mind disguising himself at all, being a good brother in front of her, and he is willing to pretend for the rest of his life.
Little Potato used this topic to talk to Zhou Xiaoan for a long time, and only ended the topic when she was a little sleepy.
These days, she often has insomnia, goes to the balcony in the middle of the night to sit quietly for a long time, her back is lonely and lonely, and the next day she still pretends that nothing has happened.
If he hadn't seen her sitting alone in the middle of the night, even he, who was paying attention to her all the time, wouldn't have noticed that something was wrong with her.
But he tried many times, but she refused to tell him, and he even took the opportunity of Da Dong and Xiao Dong to send her books to tell her that he knew that she had something on her mind, but she still refused to say a word to him.
So if this book could make her happy, he'd get it for her anyway!
It was about Zhou Xiao'an, of course, Xiao Tudou took it to heart, and told Zhou Xiao'an the next night, "The library is vacated, let's go and see it tomorrow!" ”
Fifty yuan and ten catties of sorghum flour were exchanged for that library of books and a large library.
The so-called vacated means that he not only bought the books, but also got the library together!
Zhou Xiaoan was a little confused, "What about those people?" Where did they go? It's already cold, so don't leave people with nowhere to sleep! ”
Little Potato nodded seriously, "I know, I didn't chase them, they went back to the broken warehouse where they used to live, and they voluntarily let it out." ”
It's just that the person he sent to buy books asked for ten catties of sorghum noodles.
Zhou Xiaoan changed into Zhou Xiaoquan's previous clothes the next day, hid his hair in his forward hat, disguised himself as a half-sized boy, and showed off in front of Xiao Tudou and Zhou Xiaoquan, "How is it?" Like your big brother? So no one will recognize us! ”
Little Potato barely held back a laugh, "Definitely not recognizable!" Big brother, let's go! ”
Zhou Xiaoquan twitched the corner of his mouth, so he had to say nothing.
With the way she looks, she can still recognize her as a beautiful little girl at a glance when she wears clothes called Hanako.
The dark boy's clothes made her face whiter and more pink, her hair was hidden, her face was smaller, her eyes were bigger, and she was more beautiful and conspicuous than before, so it was better not to disguise.
But they had already arranged it, knowing that there would be no trouble, and it was easy to be so happy to see her in high spirits, of course they wouldn't break it down.
The secret library of the Qu family garden is on a rockery with strange rocks deep in the woods, the surrounding grass and trees have not been pruned for many years, the vines are growing wildly, and the shrubs are overgrown.
She finally knew why those street children were willing to give up this comfortable place so easily, it was so inconvenient to get in and out!
After walking through a large area of woods, bushes and vines, I had to climb the mountain for half a day and go around a pile of large rocks to find the entrance to a rockery cave in a black hole.
The entrance is small enough for one person to enter, but down the wide steps, the basement below is staggering!
Jianxin and Da Dong and Xiao Dong had already lit torches below and were waiting for them, and as soon as Zhou Xiaoan entered this large library like a small library of more than 200 square meters, he was dumbfounded.
It is estimated that for the sake of moisture and mothproof, the books here are packed in small camphor wood boxes one by one, and the boxes are neatly arranged one by one, and there are hundreds of boxes.
Because the basement was only discovered a few days ago, the destroyed boxes and books only accounted for a small part, and those children probably did not have any interest in books, and when they opened some of them, they found that they were all books, and they did not move anything else.
However, there are still a lot of people who are used to cook and boil water, and some of them are taken away to sell scrap products.
On the ground, there are not only ashes from burning books, but also ancient inkstones that have been smashed indiscriminately, and broken brushes.
A pile of ancient ink was thrown aside, and the ink ingots had broken a lot, and there were dirty footprints on them.
Jianxin saw Zhou Xiao'an picking up the ink painfully, and hurried over to help, "Sister Xiao'an, there are still a few big boxes of things over there, which are heavy and useless, they said that they didn't ignite the fire, so they didn't move." ”
He wanted to say that these are all dirty and broken, and there are so many more, let's not want them!
But Zhou Xiaoan looked at the words "Qianlong Imperial System" on a few ink ingots engraved with broken dragon patterns, and he really didn't know what it was like.
This kind of ink, how many people regard it as a treasure, but now it has been reduced to the point that people are disgusted and can't ignite it!
These books are the accumulation of hundreds of years of generations or even more than a dozen generations of a scholarly family, and any one of them can be called a cultural treasure, but they are facing the end of selling waste products for two cents and a pound!
What the hell is wrong with this world!? (To be continued.) )
