Hearing this, Bao Xiaoyu was relieved.

"Oh no, it's not early, we have to go back quickly, otherwise, our mother should scold us again!" Bao Xiaoyu said with a bad face.

Ruoshui looked at the sky, and then said, "Well, it's really not early, let's change it back." ”

But before he could take two steps, Ruoshui saw a bookstore on the side of the street.

This stone town is indeed much more developed than Linhe Town, and there are no bookstores in Linhe Town.

Ruoshui said, "I want to go to the bookstore and buy something." ”

Bao Xiaoyu looked confused and asked, "Do you want to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstones for your younger brothers to read and study?" ”

Ruoshui shook his head: "I want to buy a map." ”

"Buy a map?" Bao Xiaoyu expressed shock, "What are you buying a map for?" We don't expect to leave this stone town and go anywhere else. ”

Wakasui didn't say anything and strode into the store.

The bookstore in the town is very deserted, and only occasionally scholars come to buy the four treasures of the study.

Recently, this shop has been out of business for several days.

The boss is almost moldy.

When he found that someone was coming, he quickly greeted him warmly.

"Two girls, are you buying pen and ink? Or buy paper? The boss asked.

Ruoshui shook his head: "I don't buy pen and ink, and I don't buy paper." I would like to buy a map of Nanankoku. ”

"Maps?" The shopkeeper said he was surprised, "What are you doing with a girl's house buying a map?" I haven't had anyone here ask about maps in years. ”

Ruoshui said: "I can't buy a map for a girl's house?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I just have a map here that has been squeezed for years. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper went to the shelves and rummaged through the cabinets to find them.

As he rummaged through it, he said, "This map is still the goods I bought many years ago, and then no one bought it, so I didn't replenish it." This last map, I've been squeezing here for years, but I don't know if it's outdated. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper took down the dusty, yellowed map from the shelf.

"Not out of style, not out of style." Ruoshui hurriedly said.

In this ancient society, transportation was not developed, and maps would not be outdated for many years.

The shopkeeper vigorously blew the dust off the map.

Suddenly the house was full of dust.

Then the shopkeeper used a chicken feather blanket to sweep the dust off the map.

After cleaning it up, the store handed the map to Ruoshui.

Ruoshui took the map and couldn't wait to open the map to look at it.

The map depicts mountains, rivers, plains, valleys, cities and towns.

Stone Town is a very small place, so you have to look carefully on the map to find it.

Ruoshui plans to buy the map first and go home and study it carefully.

"How much is this map." Ruoshui asked.

The shopkeeper was quite polite, and he said, "That's all there is left, and it's been left for so long, so I'll give you ten copper plates." ”

Ruoshui did not make a counteroffer, because it was clear that the bookstore was not doing well.

So Ruoshui took out a copper plate for the store.

The store took the money, and Ruoshui put away the map.

On the way home, Bao Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Nian, why did you buy a map?" Do you want to go somewhere else? ”

Ruoshui replied: "That's right, I want to go somewhere else." I don't want to stay in this little stone town for the rest of my life. I want to go to the capital and see a better world. ”

Ruoshui's words were simply shocking in Bao Xiaoyu's eyes.

She looked at Ruoshui in surprise, unable to believe her eyes.

"Xiao Nian, I didn't expect you to have such a lofty ideal."
