Benshan, the dean of Huaishan Academy, who was praised in person, was dissipated a lot of the heaviness in his heart.

"Some children are born military generals, but if you want to make a name for yourself in the army, you can't do martial arts alone, you also have to read, and you can understand those military books better when you read them!"

When the stall owner heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw Zhou Huaishan.

"This old brother, listening to this, is he a scholar?"

Zhou Huaishan hugged his fists and smiled, but didn't answer the words, "Are there any second-hand books sold around here?" ”

First talked about children's reading, and then mentioned selling books at this moment, the topic naturally attracted over, and the stall owner also chatted openly.

"Yes, several! In the past, the college was closed, and the children were short of money at home for studying, and they had no money to buy new books, so they came here to pick up old books. ”

"Are you familiar with these stalls? I also want to pick up a few copies, but time is limited, can you recommend one for me? ”

The stall owner thought for a moment, "What are you going to buy?" These companies sell used books, and each of them is different. ”

Zhou Huaishan said: "My children like to dance with knives and guns, so they buy military books." ”

When the stall owner heard this, he was amused.

"It's a coincidence, the seller of military books is placed opposite my stall every day, and he will come in about half an hour."

Zhou Huaishan smiled: "What a coincidence, then you and this stall owner are also familiar with each other, why do they have so many military books in his family?" ”

The wonton stall owner sighed.

"Poor people! He used to join the army, and I heard that his official position in the army is not low! Later, I offended people and couldn't stay in the army anymore, so I came here.

The county magistrates of Qinghe County are all good people, and they don't have that kind of face that worships high and low.

After he came, he took good care of his family.

When he first came, the county magistrate at that time paid him to buy a house to live here, and wanted to give him a job in the county government to catch fast, but he refused.

There are so many books in his house!

In the early years, he didn't sell books, but this year his health is getting worse and worse, and a son in the family is not successful, he always says that if the book is left in his hands, it will be ruined.

Sell it, let the book go to meet the destined person by yourself. ”

Listening to the stall owner's chatter, Zhou Huaishan felt uncomfortable in a mess.

This stall owner, is it a horse next year?

When he had an accident, he was in his forties, and Ma Ming was in his Chinese New Year's Eve, and according to the timeline that Shen Li told him, another twenty years had passed.

Calculate, if the horse is still alive next year, it will be more than fifty.

According to his status as a general in the army at that time, at this age, he can rely on military merits to live for a long time.

At this moment, Zhou Huaishan didn't want the bookstall owner to be Ma next year.

He didn't want to see anyone with anything to do with his family.

But the appearance of the book "Zhou Luobu Bing" made him eager to see an old man back then and tell him what happened back then.

Although Shen Li told him something, Shen Li was not a person with biological experience after all.

When something happened to his family, Shen Li hadn't been born yet!

What Shen Li knew was nothing more than hearsay or official files.

Those, unreliable.

Again, my mind was heavy.

As the sky gradually brightened, the business of the early stall was also booming, and the stall owner had no time to chat with Zhou Huaishan, so Zhou Huaishan sat there and waited.

Fortunately, the stall owner didn't bomb him.

Half morning.

The second-hand goods street is lively, people come and go, bustling.

But there is no stall on the opposite side of the bookstall.

Zhou Huaishan was a little uneasy in his heart, the stall was about to be closed at this moment, the stall owner looked at the opposite side, sighed and shook his head, "It may be that he is not in good health today, and he will not come out, you can come and see it tomorrow." ”

Zhou Huaishan's gaze withdrew from the empty stall, "Do you know where his family lives?" ”

The stall owner thought for a moment.

"From here, walk along this street, go to the third alley on the left and turn in, it seems to be in the fifth house, do you want to ask."

Zhou Huaishan thanked him and left.

The third alley mouth, the fifth home.

The wooden gate has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years, and it has decayed a little.

The New Year's painting pasted on the door, how long has it been, and half of it has already been dropped.

The door was hidden, Zhou Huaishan stretched out his hand and pushed it open, and with a hoarse creak, the neat yard came into view.

The yard is not big, but it is clean.

There are three large vats against the wall, presumably with pickled cabbage.

There was a coughing sound coming from inside the room, and a young man screaming in anger.

"Dad, you're like this, what's the use of you holding on to that jade pendant! Take it out and let the doctor show you that it's serious! Father! Stop being stubborn! No matter how important the jade pendant is, it can't beat a life! ”

Zhou Huaishan walked slowly towards the main house, and his voice became louder and louder.

"You have guarded the jade pendant for a lifetime, if the owner of the jade pendant knows that you still refuse to see a doctor like this, he will probably not be happy! Father! I beg you, take it out, it's important to see a doctor, if you don't have it, I'll ...... I..... Father! ”

The person who coughed inside didn't answer, just coughed heart-rending one after another.

Walking to the door of the main room, Zhou Huaishan paused, took a deep breath, and pushed the door.

The sound of the door pushing interrupted the voices of the young man in the room.

When Zhou Huaishan entered the door, he saw a young man with red eyes and tears on his face, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a haggard and anxious face.

There was an old man lying on the bed, coughing violently.

The young man sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl with some rice soup in it and steaming hot.

The whole room was filled with the strong smell of medicine and the rotten smell peculiar to the patient.

Seeing someone coming, the young man put the bowl aside and looked at Zhou Huaishan suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”

Zhou Huaishan nodded politely at the young man.

"I'm Zhou Huaishan, the dean of Huaishan Academy, I heard that your family has a lot of books, and I just want to expand the library's library, so I want to buy them all."

As he spoke, Zhou Huaishan took out a silver ticket.

Five hundred taels of denominations.

He handed it to the young man.

"Look, is that enough?"

His eyes fell on the silver ticket, and the young man seemed to be burned by fire.

"This ......"

Even the old man who was lying on the bed and couldn't stop coughing was startled by Zhou Huaishan's words, he half-crawled and poked his head out and looked at Zhou Huaishan.

Seeing that old, sickly face at a glance, Zhou Huaishan's heart seemed to be run over by a wheel.

Horses next year!

"I don't just accept your books, I also accept other people's second-hand books, if you think the price is not enough, I can give it again, if you think the price is okay, let's make a deal now, okay?"

As he spoke, Zhou Huaishan pointed to Ma Nian and said to the young man, "Why don't you hurry up and ask your father for a doctor?" ”

The young man was stunned.

As if he had just reacted, he hesitated for a moment, his hands trembled, he took the silver ticket handed over by Zhou Huaishan, bowed deeply to Zhou Huaishan, turned his head and ran.
