Chapter 30: Questions and Answers in the Bookstore
Satoshi and Mimoscad entered the city smoothly, and the houses in this city were much neater and regular, most of them were made of wood, unlike the small thatched huts in that town. The wooden houses here are exquisitely built, and although they are beautiful, they have an antique charm to live in.
Satoshi and Mimosaki walked casually through the streets of the city, which were also paved with wooden floors, which were very smooth, but did not make a "creaking" sound when they walked on them. Satoshi found that most of the houses on both sides of the street were used for residential purposes, and very few were used for commercial purposes.
"Although it is a city, commerce is too underdeveloped, and as long as there is light and water, it seems that vegetative people have no other needs. The light here is not bright enough, but it is still like 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning, and there are more or less rivers on the other side of the water, so that it is enough to meet the needs of the plant people. Simon Satoshi thought about it inwardly, and then speculated.
Next, Simon Satoshi was looking for a suitable vegetative person, and then went up to talk to him and ask some questions about himself, but the vegetative people he met so far didn't seem to be very easy to talk to, so Simon Satoshi went up to talk to himself.
Suddenly, Simon found a good place to solve the doubts in his heart, in the house on the side of the street, he saw a bookstore, why did he say that this is a bookstore? For he saw a huge book made of wood at the door of the house, and when he looked inside, he could see some furniture in the shape of a bookcase, but no one was in sight.
Because the door of this room was open, Satoshi walked in directly with the mimosage man. He wanted to see if he could find answers to any of the books about what this place was, and all the other unknown questions.
As soon as Satoshi entered the door, he smelled a fragrance, which seemed to come from a kind of wood that he didn't know what it was, because he saw that the kind of wood that gave off the fragrant kiss was hung on the wall of this room, like one ornament after another.
He walked around with the mimostry man and didn't see the owner of the store, and found that there was a staircase leading to the second floor, and he thought that the owner of the store should be staying on the second floor, so he didn't care about it, but found a bookcase and took out a book to read.
When the mimoscad man saw that Simon had taken a book to read, he also learned to read a book, and casually pulled a book out of the bookcase and held it in his hand.
Satoshi took a general look, the books in this bookstore are made of thick bark, the front and back, and the paper inside is made of leaves similar to white paper, but it is not rectangular, and the pages are still in the shape of leaves.
The book that Simon Satoshi is holding now is called "Agnè's Love Story", which is full of love poems written by a man named Agné to his wife, which makes Simon Satoshi feel very strange, can a vegetative person get married?
Curious, he casually flipped to a page, and the green leaf-like page read:
"I have loved you: perhaps, the flame of love
In my heart is not completely extinguished,
But don't let this love trouble you again—
I don't want my actions to cause you the slightest melancholy.
I love you silently and hopelessly,
Sometimes I am too shy to speak, and sometimes I am hurt by jealousy,
I love so warmly, so single-mindedly;
Ah, I wish others would love you just as I did. ”
The words in this make Simon Satoshi a little thoughtful, this poem seems to be written gently in your heart with a pen at a glance, so that you can not forget it for a long time.
Satoshi was quietly staring at the book when an old voice interrupted his thoughts like an angry lion.
"Don't just flip through the books and read them, I can only buy the books here, not read them." A vegetative man with a slightly yellowish head and a wrinkled face slowly descended the stairs, shouting loudly as he went.
"Oh, okay." When Satoshi saw the owner of the bookstore coming, he immediately closed the book, put it back on the shelf, and remembered where he put it back, and the mimosa man next to him also put the book back like Satoshi Ximen.
"I want to ask, do you sell history books here?"
"Nope."
"Do you sell geography books here?"
"Nope."
"Do you sell biology books here?"
"Nope"
Simon Satoshi asked for several types of books, and the owner of this bookstore said no, which made him very speechless, from the history, geography, and biology books can quickly find the knowledge to answer his questions, I don't know why there are none here.
"Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Yes, as long as you have a light stone."
Ximen Satoshi didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out a small light source stone and gave it to the vegetative man, and then began to ask his own questions.
"Why do people here need light source stones?"
"Because we are all plant evolution, the light source is extremely important to us, the light here is not strong, I think you have also discovered this, there is a light source stone can extract the pure light source inside to make its own evolution faster."
"Why is the light so weak here?"
"I can't answer you this question, but one day you'll understand when you enter the City of the Centers. However, only perfect planters can enter the central city, and the vegetative people here don't know how many years it will take to evolve, and it is possible that they will not evolve into perfect planters until they die. ”
"What is the perfect plant? And what is the Central City? Do vegetative people also die? ”
"Perfect Plants are the fully evolved form of our plants, and you will understand when you see them. The central city is the city where people can only enter life if they are perfectly planted. Do vegetative people die? Your question is redundant, there is life and death, there are no exceptions. Isn't it almost the end of my life? ”
"How long have you lived?"
"I don't know, I've been alive since I was born, for a long, long time."
"And what kind of books do you sell here?"
"The books here are all written by vegetative people in this city, or who have been to this city, all genres, but if you want to know more, these books will not tell you more."
"How do you know I want to know more?"
"Because you've only been born for a short time."
Hearing this, Simon Satoshi and the mimosa man next to him suddenly felt a little uneasy in their hearts, but Simon Satoshi continued to ask.
"How do you know?"
"The question you asked has been exposed, and a long-born vegetative person would not ask such a common-sense question. And I also know that you were born from an unknown light source, and that the Perfect Planters want to capture you. ”
Ximen Cong heard the old vegetative man's words, and felt very inexplicably strange, he thought for a while and felt that he couldn't understand it, and then asked again.
"Why did they arrest us? We didn't mess with them. ”
"They're afraid of unknown light sources for some reason, so they want to catch you and question you, but the way they ask them may not be particularly kind."
"How do you know that?"
"You go to the square of the city, there is a notice posted by the Perfect Planter for the strange newborn vegetative people, they say that you are dangerous evil vegetative people born in an ominous light source, as long as you report your clues, they can be allowed to live in Canterlot, that is a condition that can't be resisted by vegetative people here, because the light in Canterlot is stronger than here I don't know how many times."
