Chapter Seventy-One: The Book Shop
Daofeng, who walked out of the right doorpost of the bookstore gently, lowered his head slightly...... Fundamentally, she still doesn't want to come out...... After experiencing the surprised and disgusted eyes of so many people just now, naturally she didn't want to stay in front of any stranger for a little longer......
"Hmm...... Hiding behind the door, I should be afraid that the old man will misunderstand you...... But it's nothing, old man, I still have knowledge, if this is a broken bookstore, if you need it, please. β
The white-haired old man did not look up, but still looked at the leather book in his hand, some chapped lips spit out very kind words, and his eyes behind reading glasses were not bright, but they were still very attentive.
It's just that he has completely gray hair and wrinkles, and he can't be judged as middle-aged.
ββ¦β¦β
Daofeng, who tilted his head slightly, still leaned against the doorpost, and did not move his steps.
"How."
After a moment of silence, he found that the girl at the door had not yet come in, so the old man closed his book and looked at her.
"Don't I think I'm sincere, old man?"
He just shifted his head and let his eyes look at Shimakaze...... However, he was not surprised at all by the way the island style was dressed.
"The ......"
Shima Feng's voice was very low, as if he didn't quite understand why the old man in front of him didn't feel strange to him compared to the other residents.
"You...... Are you from Country J? β
Island Wind stood in place, asking as if tentatively, and the puzzled expression on his face had the charm of a girl's innocent girl.
"Listen to what I have to say...... What do you think? β
The old man's fluency in Japanese made Shimafeng feel that his problem was of little value.
"That...... Here's ...... Is there anything like that...... Japanese dictionaries and the like......"
I still don't believe in the island wind of the living, and I only leaned a little closer to the bookstore.
"Dictionary? β¦β¦ The first time I've heard of someone coming to read a book to read a dictionary? β
The old man seemed to feel a little nonsensical, but looking at the expression of Daofeng that didn't seem like a joke, he could only move his neck and look at the several large bookshelves behind him.
The bookstore is not large, only the size of a storefront, so the five bookshelves are placed inside, which is a little cramped, but the width is still enough for the two to pass side by side...... And the whole bookstore, all made of wood, although there is a little damp smell, but this is nothing to the ship's mother who lives by the sea or at sea every day.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's the bottom left corner of the bookshelf in the middle...... It's been a long time since I've been here, and the book owner can't remember it. β
However, the old man is still quite funny, not like the optimism and demeanor that an old man should have.
"Hmmm......"
Island Feng was relatively relieved to trot to the bookcase in the middle of what the old man said from the slightly narrow aisle with the old man's easy chair, and squatted down with his knees crossed...... If you smell it a little closely, you can still smell a faint smell of blood on your knees......
"Woo ......"
The bookcase is still so big, even in the lower left corner, there are many kinds of miscellaneous books, twisting his brows and looking at the island wind in the lower left corner for a long time, it took a while to find a Japanese translation of the Chinese dictionary.
If you get the treasure of the island wind, pick it up and turn it over, it looks like the quality is very good, and the relevant explanations and instructions are still in place.
The old man not far away also touched a water cup next to the easy chair, picked it up and took a sip of water, and looked at the aisle outside the faΓ§ade...... A little bit of dust is slowly wafting, and there are white plastic bags floating by, which looks like the environment is relatively bad.
"What do you call this ship's mother? β¦β¦ Oh no, forget it, I probably know what your name is. β
The old man put down the glass again, but said something that made Daofeng stop looking through the dictionary in his hand.
ββ¦β¦β
Island Wind turned his head and looked at the old man who was lying nicely in his easy chair with his back to him.
"Don't be so surprised, I said that the old man I have seen the world, there is such a strong smell of blood and sulfur on my body, and my clothes are not very neat, eight or nine are not far from ten, I am the ship's mother, right?"
The old man still didn't look back, just a chatty and laughing tone, which was quite harmonious, so as not to make the island wind suddenly vigilant.
It's just that he didn't even look back...... I knew that the island wind was indeed taken aback.
"Yes, too...... Even the shoes were torn, so I guess I was injured on the battlefield and got separated from the team, so I had to run here. β
The old man, who touched his head and seemed to be thinking about something, seemed to recall something.
"Ah...... It's really incredible, if it's a reset ship...... Don't look at the dictionary......"
That's a lot of meaning......
ββ¦β¦ Hmmm......"
Shimakaze doesn't mind if others know that she's a prototype ship......
Someone else is an elderly person...... Maybe I've met the ship's mother.,The basic knowledge is quite rich.,Or maybe you saw it in a book...... In short, it is easy to deduce the identity of the prototype ship of Shimafeng.
Island Wind only whispered.
"So, coming to the old man, if you guess correctly, it shouldn't be just a little thing like reading a book, right?"
IQ is not ordinary...... The old man seemed to be very wise, and easily put himself in his shoes, a shipwreck with the smell of blood and pungent sulfur, dressed in tattered clothes, who had come here except to read a book...... There are other purposes, right?
"It's boring to be here alone anyway...... Just mention it if you need it, I don't need a lot of things, but if you don't mind being an old man's thing, then feel free. β
The old man who sighed still didn't move, just quietly looked out of the door, enjoying his leisure.
"But...... Why are you helping me? β
Shimafeng, who is still holding a dictionary, doesn't seem to let go of the unfamiliar, and doesn't understand why the other party wants to help him.
"Well...... If you're a normal person, I'm not willing to donate my stuff...... But if it's a ship's mother, then it's a different story. β
The old man gently shook the easy chair, his tone remained unchanged, as if he was talking to his own family.
"You...... Was it Admiral before? β
Shima Feng, who stood up with a dictionary in her hand, had a touch of long silver hair slightly glowing with a slight gold from the sun, which seemed to exude a spiritual light, shining behind her.
ββ¦β¦β
The old man did not speak, but still quietly rocked the easy chair.
"So you only helped me out of nostalgia for the ship's mother?"
Dao Feng looked at the old man's back, and his eyes were also very firm, a little bit of sharpness and insight that destroyers should not have, which also showed that she was different from other Dao Feng in personality.
ββ¦β¦β
The old man sat up slightly, raised his head, and looked at the sky in the distance outside the door.
"Ah...... Sort of. β
The soft answer was not as powerful as before, but rather like a soft answer, as if perfunctory.
The sunlight slowly rushed out in the white clouds, sprinkling a quiet light, and behind the old man, a grain of dust fluttered in the back of the vicissitudes of life under the reflection of the sun, which seemed to have a bit of desolation.
