Lin Yi knew very early on that there was no advantage in this world, there was no lunch for nothing, and there was no one in this world who was stupider than you. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info When you think you're going to take advantage of it, you might as well think about it, is there any ingenuity in this.

At the moment, that's it.

Master Zhang is older than Lin Yi, but his thoughts are much simpler than Lin Yi, so he will be cheeky and want to get a piece of the pie, but in the end, he was whipped by his aunt's "divine logic", and his body was incomplete, and his old age was almost lost.

Lin Yi had already expected that 800,000 yuan to collect all these books was such a luxurious idea--- there must be something strange in it.

Now that the strange thing has come out, the aunt must answer three questions by herself, and only by answering correctly can she realize her wish of shooting these books with 800,000 shots, otherwise...... Lin Yi looked at the open door, and estimated that where he came in, he would go out.

"Auntie, what is the question, just ask, I will answer it seriously." Lin Yi said.

The aunt smiled and said, "Actually, the question is very simple, first, why do you want to collect books?" ”

Why collect books?

It is true that this question is simple enough, but when you look deeper, the simplest question is also the most difficult to answer.

Lin Yi recalled the process of starting to collect books, at the beginning, he just liked it, liked to collect some of his favorite books, and then found that in the process of searching for books, he could still pick up leaks, and even change from poor to rich. But at that time, I was more like a bookseller than a collector. Yes, if you don't have enough to eat, survival and food and clothing are the first, who would think about being a big collector.

Then, I had money, and I got richer and richer in the process of searching for books, which really verified the saying that "there is a golden house in the book". At that time, I was just beginning to budge into a collector.

Until now, he is only a four-grade collector, and there is still a long way to go from the big collector, according to Xu Haoming's words, the nine-grade collector is the king, and that is the collector among the collectors.

Therefore, I am consciously moving towards this goal, constantly enriching my collection, and constantly strengthening my strength.

Looking back, it's still this very simple question, why collect books? Could it be that in order to realize his dream of becoming a big collector?

Or is it because you like it, so you collect it?

After thinking for a while, Lin Yi said: "Because there are too many books, so I want to collect them!" ”

Ahem! Master Zhang, who heard this dog-fart next to him, almost coughed to death. Although he was not very smart, he also knew that such an answer was too stupid! Isn't it nonsense to say "I collect because there are too many books". This young man seems to be quite clever, how could he break down on such a simple question? Alas, it's hard to treat water in the head, and if you miss such a good opportunity, it will be difficult to encounter it in the future.

At this moment, Master Zhang had subconsciously sentenced Lin Yi to "death", thinking that his answer was a failure.

Lin Yi didn't seem to have the slightest sense of failure, he continued: "At the beginning, I bought books just to read, to read: but gradually, I bought more and more books, and I didn't have time to read them, so what should I do at this time, I had to collect those books that I hadn't read yet, and wait for time to finish them." As my hobby of buying books became stronger and stronger, my psychology of buying books also changed, and I began to collect them selectively, because I knew the value of many old books, such as "A Preliminary Study of Modern Novel Techniques", which can be bought for 1.5 yuan at an inconspicuous stall, and can be sold for one or two hundred yuan on the Internet. ”

"What do you do if you make money? As a lover of books, of course, I continue to search for books, continue to collect them, and collect all the books I like, from the modern version of the book, to the Republic of China version, from the new literature of the Republic of China, to the Qing engraving book, lithograph, to the Ming version, the Song and Yuan versions...... The more books I collected, the higher the quality of my books and the more books I collected--- so when I looked back and asked myself why I wanted to collect books, I realized that from the beginning, the original reason was that there were too many books in ---! There are too many books and I am reluctant to throw them away, so what should I do? I had to collect it carefully! That's my answer. After Lin Yi finished speaking, he looked at the aunt with sincere eyes, waiting for her judgment.

The aunt smiled and said, "The young man's brain is spinning fast, and the answers he gives are also one set at a time, so I can't understand it, but it doesn't matter, Professor Jiang has already given the answer, and that answer is ---basically exactly the same as your answer!" ”

"How is that possible?" This time it was Master Zhang's turn to be surprised, he didn't go to school or do anything, how could Lin Yi's answer be right? Could it be that there is something greasy here? But it doesn't look like it.

After Master Zhang was surprised, he began to ponder Lin Yi's words again, at first he felt that it was nothing, it was really ridiculously simple, and then he pondered, the more he pondered, the more he felt that it was tasteful, and then compared himself, he actually had a feeling of enlightenment---

yes, why do you want to collect books? There are too many books! It's like the "fighting edge" in the Buddha's saying.

Just when Master Zhang was still pondering, the aunt asked Lin Yi a second question: "How many books are you going to hide?" ”

Master Zhang was stunned, this question is too funny, do you still need to ask, of course, the more books you have, the better, is it possible that there are still bibliophiles who are afraid that they have too many books and have no place to put them?

Just when Master Zhang was suspicious, Lin Yi replied: "One!" I'm only allowed to keep one book. ”

Master Zhang is dizzy, one by one, since you want to hide a book, why do you spend 800,000 yuan to buy so many books? That's not.

Just when Master Zhang was muttering to himself, Lin Yi said: "The most collector, as a book lover, has always been looking for his favorite book. When you see a book and you can't get it, the feeling of being scratched by a cat is indescribable. Tossing and turning, you have to find a way to get your hands on it. But when you actually buy that book, hold it in your hand and think you have found the best book in the world, you suddenly find that there is another better one in your eyes--- so you will once again place your hopes on it, toss and turn again, and stay awake at night again......"

"Eventually, you may know that your favorite book will never appear in your hands, will not be stored on your bookshelf, will only be in the hands of others, and other bookshelves tempt you to --- a word, only what you can't get will always be the best! So I'm just going to collect one book, one book that I like the most, but I'll never get it......"

After listening to Lin Yi's answer, the aunt smiled again, needless to say, Lin Yi's answer was exactly the same as the answer in her hand.

This time, Master Zhang didn't have a sore egg, but heard the sound of an egg breaking. Why? Why is such an answer passable, and why is it so outlandish? Am I being stupid, or can't I understand what --- world is all about?

Master Zhang was full of complaints.

"Okay, the third question ---" the aunt said suddenly, looking at Lin Yi with her eyes that looked like a country fool, and said, "When you are old, what do you do with these books?" ”

For this question, Master Zhang immediately thought of the answer, and it is needless to say that the standard answer must be: learn from this old professor of "loose books", and sell these books with 800,000 yuan that is so cheap that it is death; Of course, there are three questions to ask the guy who took the-luck before selling.

"That's definitely the standard answer." Master Zhang said with certainty, if not, I will jump into the Qinhuai River!

Lin Yi thought about it, then scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know." Then there was no sound.

Is it over? Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lin Yi would definitely finish a sentence and explain a lot like just now, but he pricked up his ears and waited for most of the day, but there was no movement.

Does this count as an answer? It's like surrendering.

What a simple standard answer, I don't know how to copy it, there is something wrong with this Lin Yi! Master Zhang was deeply surprised.

But what surprised Master Zhang even more was ---

Auntie: "Okay, you've passed, and you answered the third question correctly!" ”

When Master Zhang heard this, he immediately became dizzy, how could it be right again? No way, it's not a standard answer, or even not at all.

At this time, the aunt solved Master Zhang's question, "Professor Jiang told me that this third question is the most difficult, no matter who it is, as long as he answers that he will sell it for 800,000 yuan at that time, he must not believe him, and he must not sell the book to the other party, because the other party must be a scheming hypocrite; Besides, how can a person determine what will happen in the future, let alone so many books...... In short, the professor said that the person who can answer the answer is either a lie or a very irresponsible person, and his collection must not be given to such a person! ”

Lin Yi understood.

Master Zhang also understood.

Lin Yi knew that he had escaped by luck. What a deep trap this is, I obviously have the answer, but I didn't use it, but followed my heart, did what I really thought, and finally passed the test.

Master Zhang understood, it was not that he was too old, it was not that he had studied too little, and it was not that he was less than eighty years old, and he was forced to jump into the Qinhuai River, but because he was too greedy!

A greedy person will never go far, because he carries too many things and too much weight. Just like at this moment, Master Zhang glanced at the room full of thread-bound books, a room full of rare and ancient books, originally wanted to have a bumper harvest and pick up leaks, but in the end, none of them were his own.

Because, I don't have that qualification! (To be continued.) )
