Chapter 13: The Old Man of the Literary Hall

The light rain outside the mall gradually stopped, and Ling Yu, who was originally about to leave, heard Shu Xiaoran dictate the relationship between herself and Yan Fei in college, the feeling that Ling Yu wanted to leave before was completely gone, and the fire of gossip burned in her heart.

I can't see that Ling Yu, who has always been cold and arrogant, can actually gossip, maybe only in front of a little girl like Shu Xiaoran, Ling Yu will show her feminine side. But this situation is not easy to come by.

"Stinky girl, I didn't expect you to learn to fall in love when you were in college." After Shu Xiaoran explained his relationship with Yan Fei, Ling Yu said to him.

Xiao Ran smiled, not knowing what to say.

Ling Yu then asked, "That?" Why would it be in the end? ”

Shu Xiaoran knew what Ling Yu was asking, this question was actually what she had been thinking about, and she had not come up with an answer after thinking about it for three years, yes, why did she separate from Yan Fei at that time, the thinking was different, or the pursuit was different, when we were young, we did the most impulsive thing, and it seemed that we were so chic at the time, and when I looked back after a long time, I found that the only thing left was regret.

"We were very happy every day after we were together, and when it was time to graduate from college, he told me that he was going to study abroad, because he was still relatively young at the time, and when he thought that he was going to leave and had no time to take care of me, I quarreled with him, and after we had a big fight that day, we never contacted each other again, but I didn't expect that in the end, he left forever." Xiao Ran looked at the light rain outside the window of the bubble tea shop that had gradually stopped, and his eyes seemed to be full of regret.

If we all took a step back at that time, there was no excessive quarrel, there was no so-called strength, and we had a little more understanding of each other, we might have exchanged for a different ending. It's a pity that time can't be restarted, and you have to learn to pay for what you have done.

I don't know if I was stabbed in the eyes by the lights of the milk tea shop, Ling Yu saw that Xiao Ran's eyes were flashing with crystal tears, let's stop this matter, no matter what it was for at the beginning, now the two of them are living the life they want, this may be the best ending.

In addition, Ling Yu asked Shu Xiaoran to come out this time, not just to let Xiao Ran relax, she knew that what Xiao Ran encountered was not simple, probably because of the girl, it was inconvenient to say it in front of Qin Jian and Chu Ming. Ling Yu brought her out alone, on the one hand, to ask her what had happened.

There are some things that can be said in front of one's own sisters, even if it is inconvenient to say in front of acquaintances.

Xiao Ran actually knows the purpose of Ling Yu calling herself out this time, it is true that some things can only be confided in by women, no matter what aspect of the problem is, what she cares about is a special feeling.

"Sister Ling Yu, I..." Xiao Ran's voice was a little choked.

"It's okay, silly girl, if you have something to say, it's comfortable to say it, if it's inconvenient to say, don't say it, I'm just afraid that you'll be so uncomfortable." Ling Yu said to Shu Xiaoran with a smile that the current Ling Yu is like a big sister in front of Shu Xiaoran.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, last night, my grandfather called me and told me that a friend of his lost an ancient book, this book his friend has been collecting for a long time, and it was stolen a few days ago, it is said that it records a lot of metaphysical knowledge, and my grandfather's friend has been very fond of me since I was a child, so this time he encountered such a big thing, I am not very comfortable, and I have been thinking about how to help him find it." Xiao Ran replied.

Although this matter is not a big deal for him, his grandfather, who lost the ancient book, has been very good to him since he was a child, and he is a friend of his grandfather, so he must be anxious for him. However, it can also be seen that Xiao Ran is indeed sensible, obviously it is not his own business, he seems to be more worried than the owner, Ling Yu secretly wondered why Yan Fei was willing to part with Xiao Ran in the first place? Now the specifier regrets dying.

"Don't worry about Xiao Ran, sister will help you find it together." Ling Yu said to Shu Xiaoran, "But Xiao Ran, next time you don't choke on this kind of thing, just find a book, we all think something happened to you." ”

Xiao Ran said: "No, Sister Ling Yu, you don't understand, my grandfather told me that the ancient book that his friend lost is very important, it was passed from ancient Egypt a long time ago, and some of the metaphysical knowledge on it has not yet been cracked, although science has no way to confirm the reliability of metaphysics, but if someone uses this book to do something, the consequences must be unimaginable." Xiao Ran's expression was serious.

Ling Yu realized that this matter was not so simple, Ling Yu had heard about the knowledge of metaphysics before, although there was no scientific basis, but he had to admit that it was indeed as inferred by metaphysics. There is simply no way to explain it.

"Xiao Ran, what does the lost ancient book look like, can you show me?" Ling Yu asked Shu Xiaoran.

Shu Xiaoran took out his mobile phone, the appearance of the ancient book, grandpa had already passed it to Xiao Ran's mobile phone, since he came to the office in the morning, Xiao Ran has been looking at this ancient book on his mobile phone, and originally wanted to give it to Chu Ming to let him help check it, but when he thought that this was not a business after all, it would not be good if Chu Ming was implicated, in the final analysis, this is what grandpa asked him to check. If it weren't for Ling Yu asking herself, Xiao Ran wouldn't want Ling Yu to get involved.

Turn on the phone, find the photo of the ancient book that grandpa gave him before, and hand the phone to Ling Yu.

Ling Yu looked at the contents of the photo - an ancient book with a yellow cowhide cover, there was no text on the cover, although there was no dust on it, but after such a long time of collection, it also looked a little worn, and it looked like it had been turned over. It seems that Xiao Ran's grandfather's friend should also read this book often, so that this book is so shabby.

It's just that there are probably very few people who know what is recorded in this book.

After Ling Yu finished reading it, he returned the phone to Shu Xiaoran: "Where was this book lost?" ”

"Grandpa's friend is an old gentleman from the Literature Hall, who studies ancient literature in the Wen's Literature Hall." Shu Xiaoran replied to Ling Yu.

"Let's go! Let's go check it out now. Ling Yu pulled Xiao Ran and left.

Xiao Ran was helplessly dragged into the car by Ling Yu, but he didn't expect Ling Yu to be more anxious than himself.

The rain outside has stopped, and the road in front of the Literature Hall is fresh, as if it has just been washed away by the light rain, leaving the smell of books.

Located in a bustling downtown of Chengguang City, the Wen's Literature Hall not only has the study of various ancient literatures, but also collects the works of various famous teachers. In their free time, they welcome a variety of people to visit for free, with the aim of allowing more people to learn about ancient literature.

Entering the literature hall, Ling Yu looked at the placement and decoration of the objects inside, the walls were full of calligraphy and painting, as well as various famous paintings, as well as the desk and glass cabinet, some collections of ancient literature books, laymen came to see the lively, and insiders came to see the doorway. These things may only be expensive in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of insiders, they are some immeasurable research value. There is a wealth of literary knowledge in it.

"Xiao Ran, you're here!" Just as Ling Yu and Shu Xiaoran were admiring the exhibits in the Literature Hall, a white-bearded old man walked out of the inner room, the old man wore round-framed glasses, wearing a dark Tang costume, a retro atmosphere, it seemed that the old gentleman liked this kind of literary dress very much.

"Grandpa Wen!" Xiao Ran smiled excitedly when he saw the old gentleman in front of him, and hurriedly went up to give the old man a hug. The old man was also happy to see Shu Xiaoran, after all, this child was raised by him since he was a child. It's like my own granddaughter.

"By the way, Grandpa Wen, this is my colleague and our captain Ling Yu." After Shu Xiaoran hugged the old gentleman, she introduced Ling Yu to him.

"Hello sir." After Xiao Ran introduced Ling Yu, Ling Yu stepped forward to say hello to the old man.

"You are Officer Ling that Xiao Ran often tells me, old and old, good ancient literature, unfortunately no one knows about it." Mr. Wen said to Ling Yu.

"Wenbo? Wen is deep and knowledgeable, and the old gentleman is really as good as his name, which is admirable. ”

Several people said hello, Mr. Wen took the two of them to visit the literature hall, and came to an exhibition table, Ling Yu saw that there was a place where books should be exhibited, and other exhibition tables were placed in a row of books, but there was only one place for books, and this place was still empty and there was nothing. The position didn't look so casual either, and Ling Yu immediately understood what the situation was.

She turned to the old gentleman and said, "Mr. Wen, the book placed in this vacant position should be the ancient book that was lost not long ago." ”

Mr. Wen replied: "It seems that Xiao Ran has already told you, that's right, what was placed here before was indeed the ancient book that was lost not long ago. ”

"What the hell is in that book? Does it really matter? Xiao Ran asked.

Mr. Wenbo replied: "In fact, strictly speaking, this book is not a great loss for the entire literary hall, but for ancient researchers, it is a huge loss, that ancient book records a variety of metaphysical knowledge, I saw some when I read it before, and there is also the content of the interest claim, I am worried that once this book is obtained by people with bad hearts, the use of metaphysics on this book will probably cause a lot of turmoil!" ”

"When was this book found missing?" Ling Yu asked.

"It must have been about three days ago, when I was tidying up the exhibition table, I found that the book was missing, and at that time I thought about the rigor of the book, so I didn't call the police at the first time, and I thought that you worked in the police station, so I contacted your grandfather to see if you could help." Mr. Wen said to Shu Xiaoran.

"Grandpa Wen, don't worry, this book will definitely be found." Xiao Ran comforted Mr. Wen.

At the same time, Ling Yu also said: "Yes, Mr. Wen, don't worry, we almost understand the situation, and we will go back first when the time is not early, and we will definitely try our best to help you in this matter." ”

"There's Officer Lao Ling."
