Li Weimin was picking up the old books scattered on the ground, not long ago, when the library was renovated, there were too many broken books, he immediately asked people to take away a cart and sell scrap, but he didn't expect that there were so many tattered ones, which was really a headache.

Just when he was busy, Lin Su suddenly asked, "Where are those thread-bound books?" ”

Li Weimin got up, slapped his face and said, "Lin Yi, how do I feel that you are very interested in those thread-bound books?" To be honest, when you said earlier that our school has something to sell, did you mean these thread-bound books? ”

Lin Yi was stunned, but he didn't expect that he was cautious, and in the end he was seen through. This Principal Li Weimin is really shrewd.

So, Lin Yi no longer hid it, and said: "That's right, in fact, I am engaged in the trading of used books, maybe you don't know, the price of used books is very high now, especially the wire-bound books, which are in good condition, rare in content, and the price is tens of thousands, or even millions." Since you have such a treasure here, I think if you put it up for auction, you may be able to save the urgent need......"

It seemed that Li Weimin was reluctant to sell books, after all, thread-bound books were basically ancient books, Lin Yi added, "I can assure you that the auction or purchase price will be very reasonable, and if you are not satisfied, I can also help you introduce it to other auction houses or buyers...... In short, to sell or not to sell, everything is decided by the school. Lin Yi's tone was sincere and not hypocritical.

Li Weimin looked at Lin Yi's sincere appearance, his expression changed a few times, and finally ---

"Thank you for being so frank, I also believe what you said, it's just a pity......" Li Weimin sighed.

Lin Yi didn't understand what it was a pity, so he only heard Lin Weimin say: "You come with me, and you will understand when you see it." As he spoke, he walked straight to one of the walls of the room, and pushed it with his hand, and it turned out to be a door, and behind it, another room, nay, a row of steps leading to the ground, to be exact.

Lin Yi was surprised, how could this be?

Looking at Lin Yi's surprised appearance, Li Weimin smiled and said, "During the Cultural Revolution, the whole country mobilized to dig air-raid shelters to prevent the American empire from throwing bombs over. ”

Lin Yi nodded, he also knows these "interesting things" of the Cultural Revolution, it is said that whether it is in the city or in the countryside, at that time, the whole country mobilized to dig holes, so that people picked up hoes after work, children and adults went into battle, you dig the soil and I carry the mud, and the whole city is almost dug into Spider-Man's home--- densely packed, and in the end, even the planners and initiators of the digging do not know how many "air-raid shelters" there are underground, and some large ones, such as Chongqing, Nanjing, and Beijing, Now it has been completely filled in or transformed into a good place to cool off in the summer.

Li Weimin turned on the light bulb below to illuminate the ladder, the basement is not very deep, shallow, only two or three meters away, similar to the underground parking room in the current community.

Just like Li Weimin said, there is a lot of moisture inside, and there are some white limes piled up next to it, which should be used to absorb moisture. After walking a few steps along the stairs, it is another spacious place, and under the light, you can vaguely see the inside: three walls, it turned out to be a large bookcase dug out, on which a lot of wire-bound books were placed, but unfortunately, those books were either scattered, falling off, broken, or eroded by moisture, moldy and discolored---

Lin Yi was distressed, although he didn't know the specific content of these wire-bound books, but so many books were piled up in such a place, wasn't that death? You must know that thread-bound books and the like are most afraid of moisture, otherwise there would be no such thing as "drying books" since ancient times.

Fortunately, the people here still have a little conscience, know how to use lime to absorb moisture, and know that there are some newspapers lining it...... But looking at the thread-bound books here, in terms of quality, they are all ruined.

And Lin Yi finally understood the meaning of Li Weimin's previous sentence, why it was a pity, this is the reason.

Li Weimin looked at these multi-line bound books and sighed: "It's a pity, so many books, put them outside, I'm afraid that the children will take them indiscriminately, and I'm afraid that they will be damaged if they are placed here." It's hard! ”

"How many thread-bound books are there?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I've seen the records, almost seven or eight thousand."

"So much."

"This is still a few, I heard that when the Cultural Revolution first copied books with his family, 50,000 or 60,000 copies were copied from those old people's homes, and they were all in good condition." Li Weimin stroked these books with his hand, "It's a pity, it's only been a few decades, and there are only so many left, and they are all ruined like this." Alas, my duty! ”

Lin Yi didn't say a word, his heart was very uncomfortable at the moment.

As a book lover, seeing such a large number of treasures being ruined like this, the feelings in my heart are impossible to vent, and it is uncomfortable to hold in my stomach.

In the past, Lin Yi also read some miscellaneous books, and remembered that there were some books about the Cultural Revolution copyists copying a lot of wire-bound books. Those thread-bound books are mainly about the "four olds" and the like, and the most preserved are some medical books, and the others are either burned, or pulled to be pulped, or stuffed into the toilet, wrapped in fritters, and indirectly ruined. It can be said that the book burning of the Cultural Revolution was an earth-shattering disaster.

The thread-bound books that can survive now are all loved by God, so no matter what the theme of the thread-bound books is, or what the content is, in a sense, they are all treasures, treasures that have survived disasters.

Looking at these thread-bound books, there are all kinds of books in terms of content, and the common ones such as "Four Books and Five Classics" are even more full of them. There is a Yipintang version of "University" in the Jiaqing period, but unfortunately it is very moth-eaten; There is a Guangxu Wenzhaitang version of "The Mean", but unfortunately, there are only one or three fragments; There is the "Yongzi Eight Laws" in the Xianfeng period, the quality is acceptable, but the back cover falls off at the back, and the inside is wet and sticky; I don't know the age, it should be the Qing Dynasty's "Yizong Jinjian", "Jingyue Quanshu" has many copies, but unfortunately they are all tattered; There are also the upper and lower volumes of the "Star Destiny Traceability" photocopied by the Republic of China, I heard that this set of books was written by Zhang Guolao, the "earth immortal" in the Tang Dynasty, and it is the earliest book about fortune-telling. There are also some thread-bound books about Feng Shui geography and the five elements of gossip, which needless to say, have been searched for a lot as the focus, and they are also the most tattered.

In fact, the price of line-bound books such as feng shui geography divination and fortune telling on the Internet is basically ridiculously high, Lin Yi didn't understand why this is the case before, but now he understands, because the content is sensitive, it was copied during the Cultural Revolution, and now it is rare and expensive, plus the content is unique, it has become a fragrant bait.

It's really funny to say, it is precisely because there are few surviving that the price is high, and the reason for the lack is man-made destruction and burning, I don't know if this is the luck of the book collector, or the sadness of the thread-bound book.

Walking past the bookshelves dug out of a wall, Lin Yi continued to browse through another wall, which was no better than the previous wall, and the books on this wall were not much better.

The thread-bound book pays attention to the appearance, not to mention the large open, the small book, the sky is open, the fishtail is conspicuous, and it is not said whether the eyebrows are approved, and the title page has no collector's seal, and there are five or six ways to wear the book line of a single book. It can be seen how complex and strict the process of thread-bound books is in terms of "quality".

Based on this, when Lin Yi looked through these thread-bound books, he intentionally or unintentionally picked some ones that were in good condition--- mainly picking generals among the lame people and browsing them in his hands.

Lin Yi stroked it with his hand, looking at these moldy and smelly thread-bound books, his heart was surging, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this moment, a heavy scent of books came out of the pile of tattered thread-bound books.

Smelling this heavy fragrance of books, Lin Yi couldn't help but flutter for a moment, you know, in the past, the fragrance of books he smelled was basically very light, very light, either into silk or into wisps, there has never been such a strong smell of books, even if it is the first time he comes into contact with the ancient book "The Book of Tea", there is no such a strong smell.

At this moment, Lin Yi's whole person was stunned, smelling the fragrance of books, as if he heard a peerless lone book shouting "help"!

With such a strong aura and such a powerful aura, what kind of book would this be?

Lin Yi's heart was full of curiosity. (To be continued.) )
