Guo Chongtao got "Zhuge Qi Book", he dressed up as a Taoist, and he came to Chengdu.
As soon as Guo Chongtao arrived in Chengdu, he secretly made a private visit to the whereabouts of the "Zhuge Qi Book".
At the same time, Guo Chongtao was also secretly asking if Wang Yan was also looking for that book.
Guo Chongtao inquired: Wang Yan didn't look for the book.
Guo Chongtao put his heart down.
Guo Chongtao said: Now Wang Yan may not know what has appeared in "Zhuge Qishu"?
Wang Yan didn't send someone to find the book, Guo Chongtao was relieved: If Wang Yan also sent someone to find the book, there are many people and I have few people, then it will be troublesome!

Just talk about this evening.
That evening, Guo Chongtao and his two entourages were walking on the road when he met a book seller.
Guo Chongtao saw that the book seller sold either medical books or books like stories.
As soon as Guo Chongtao saw the book seller, he made do.
Guo Chongtao came here for the "Zhuge Qi Book", and he wanted to see if there was "Zhuge Qi Shu" among the books sold by the book seller.
There is another reason: there were very few people selling books at that time, and Guo Chongtao was also a little curious when he saw the book seller.
At that time, there were many people selling rice and noodles, and there were very few people selling books at that time.
At that time, many people had difficulty eating, so how could they have the time to read?
At that time, many people had difficulty eating, many people could not afford to hire their husbands to teach, and many people were illiterate.
At that time, there were very few people who worked with books.
*******
As soon as Guo Chongtao saw the book seller, he made do.
After Guo Chongtao passed, he flipped through the book seller's book, but he didn't find the "Zhuge Qi Book".
******
At this time, Guo Chongtao wanted to talk to the book seller.
Guo Chongtao wanted to ask the book seller if he had any books he hadn't taken.
Guo Chongtao asked the book seller: "Excuse me, are you all about these books?" ”
The book seller said, "I still have some books that I haven't brought." ”
Guo Chongtao said: "Why didn't you bring them all? ”
The book seller said, "I have a lot of books at home. All brought, I'm idle trouble. Anyway, it's all brought. I can't sell much every day, so I only bring a part. ”
Guo Chongtao's eyes widened suddenly.
Guo Chongtao asked the book seller again: "Excuse me, do you just point to selling books to make a living?" ”
The bookseller smiled.
The book seller said, "Just sell books to make a living, and don't you starve me to death?" I don't mean selling books to make a living. I'm a farmer. When the farm is not working, I take out these books from my house and sell them; When I was busy farming, I farmed at home. No, it's just spring, and the field isn't alive yet, so I'll come out with my books. ”
Guo Chongtao asked the book seller again: "Excuse me, these books of yours." Where did it come from? Why are you selling these books? Don't you love to read? ”
The book seller said, "My ancestors left me these books." When my grandfather was alive, he loved to read. My grandfather and his old man also collected a lot of books. After my grandfather died, our family's life went down. When my father was alive, although my father also liked to read, my father and his old man did not have much time to read due to his busy life. When I get here, I don't have time to read. Life is busy! Besides, since I was younger, my family was not very wealthy. My dad only let me study for two years, and after that, my dad couldn't afford to let me study, so I didn't know many words, and some of the words in the books were written. I couldn't read it either, so I wanted to sell it. Because these books are in my hands as well as not. There are some books that I can't read anyway. I just want to take these books out and sell them for a few dollars. ”
Guo Chongtao said: "Now I am asking for a book. Can you let me come to your house and see your other books? ”
The bookseller said, "Of course." All I wish I could have done was sell my books sooner! ”
*******
Guo Chongtao said: "Then let's go now." ”
The book seller said, "......? ”
Guo Chongtao said: "What? ”
The book seller said, "That's right." If I don't meet you today, it's not yet dark yet. Now I can still sell here for a while. If I sell it for a while, maybe I'll be able to sell the book. If I go with you, it's good that you really found the book you want from our house. If I go with you and you don't see the book you want from our house, if you leave our house empty-handed, will I have wasted my efforts? ”
Guo Chongtao listened: This person is careful!
In order to get that precious book, can Guo Chongtao be too stingy?
Guo Chongtao said: "Aren't you just worried that you will sell fewer books? I'll give you the money for a book, okay? ”
The book seller said, "If you want to only give me money, how can I be embarrassed if you don't buy books?" Why don't you buy me a book? ”
Guo Chongtao said: "Okay. ”
The book seller said, "Good." ”
Guo Chongtao said: "How much do you sell a book?" ”
The book seller said, "My books are expensive and cheap. My books are expensive if they are thick, and cheap when they are thin. Some of my books are the most expensive for 20 yuan, and some of the cheap ones are sold for 2 or 3 yuan. Pick a copy! ”
Guo Chongtao was not very interested in the books on his stall, and he didn't want to bother to pick them, so he took out twenty yuan, and he put it in the hands of the book seller, and he said to the book seller: "Okay?" ”
The bookseller took the money.
The book seller said, "Pick a book." ”
Guo Chongtao said: "No need to pick. I don't want your book. Just come with me. ”
The book seller said, "I want your money for nothing, how can I be embarrassed?" You pick one. ”
*******
Guo Chongtao said that he would not ask for the book seller's book.
Because Guo Chongtao was not very interested in his books.
The book seller said, "You just give me money, you don't want my books, how embarrassed am I!" ”
The book seller was quite stubborn.
The book seller said, he took out a thicker book from his book, and he forced it in front of Guo Chongtao's eyes.
The book seller said to Guo Chongtao, "Otherwise, you want my book." ”
Guo Chongtao saw that the book seller was very stubborn, so he took the book.
Guo Chongtao wanted to leave quickly, he didn't want to waste time here, he was afraid that if someone would recognize him after a long time, he would be in trouble.
Aren't the people of Xishu very, very hostile to Guo Chongtao now?
After Guo Chongtao took the book seller's book, the book seller cleaned up the book stall, and he was ready to leave, ready to accompany Guo Chongtao to read the book.
******
Guo Chongtao took advantage of this opportunity to open the book given to him by the book seller.
Guo Chongtao usually likes to read books very much, and he looks at what is written in them.
Guo Chongtao opened the first page and saw that it was written: "Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, Zheng Wang, Feng Chen, Chuwei, Jiang Shen, Han Yang,......。 ”
Guo Chongtao said: What kind of book is this? This is a book for children to learn! You......?
Guo Chongtao didn't say anything in order to get the book he needed, he put the book away.
At this point, the book seller packed up his books.
After the book seller packed up the books, he led Guo Chongtao and went.
*******
Soon, Guo Chongtao arrived at the house of the book seller.
Soon, the book seller took out all the books he had in the house.
Guo Chongtao saw that the book seller had taken out all the books in his house, so he looked for them in those books.
Guo Chongtao rummaged through those books.
Guo Chongtao looked for it, his eyes suddenly lit up, he suddenly found a book, and he saw that there were four words written on the cover of the book, "Zhuge Qi Book". (To be continued......)
