Chapter 41: The Bookstore
Bei Xiaoya was a little embarrassed to look at people, so she retracted her gaze in embarrassment, and then she lowered her eyes and saw that the shopkeeper was just reading a book, Bei Xiaoya pointed to the book and asked, "Can I take a look at this?" ”
The shopkeeper gave her the book without saying a word, and Bei Xiaoya took it and was very happy. This is a copy of "The Sahara Desert", and judging by the layout, it should be a new version of this era.
The shopkeeper looked at her with her eyes shining and asked tentatively, "Do you want a new copy of mine?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Bei Xiaoya looked even more excited. Sanmao is the only female writer she likes, the writing is not pretentious, and this book is all about her personal experience, Bei Xiaoya liked to read it when she was in school. Of course, her favorite is He Xi and her love, the first time she saw He Xi's accident, she cried like a fool in the dormitory, and this matter was taken out by her roommate for a whole school year.
"I've brought two of them, and it's rare to meet someone here who likes them. You wait, I'll get it for you now. The girl looked like she was hard to find, and her face was a little more colorful.
Bei Xiaoya watched her open the door behind the counter and walked in, but she didn't come out for a while. Bei Xiaoya was bored, so she strolled around in front of a few rows of bookshelves again. When she walked to the second row of bookshelves, a few books on the law and regulations on the lowest level caught her eye, and she was about to bend down to get them, but suddenly more than a dozen people rushed to the store.
"She was the one who gave Ah Jun a concussion last time." The person standing at the front pointed to Bei Xiaoya and said to the person wearing a floral shirt and big bell bottoms behind him.
The man in the flower shirt took two steps forward after listening to the man's words, squinted his eyes and looked Bei Xiaoya up and down, "You girl is ruthless enough, I finally blocked you today." After saying that, he turned his head and asked the man next to him, "Are you sure that the soldier who was with her is gone?" ”
The man nodded hurriedly, "I saw him drive away." ”
When the man in the shirt received an affirmative answer, he gestured to the person behind him, and the people behind him immediately gathered around.
When Bei Xiaoya saw this situation, she was a little shocked. There are more people than last time, and the age looks older, so she definitely can't beat it alone. She raised her eyes and glanced at her surroundings, pondered for a moment and discussed, "Let's go out and solve it, don't be here." "This fight is inevitable, she will make a move, she will inevitably mess up the bookstore, she doesn't want to affect others.
The person in the flower shirt just wanted to agree, but the person next to him hurriedly said: "This girl has a little kung fu in her hands, and if she goes out, it will be easy for her to run away, so it is better to block her here, there are so many of us, we will be able to arrest her soon." ”
Bei Xiaoya listened to his words and scolded angrily in her heart. The man in the floral shirt agreed without even thinking about it.
More than a dozen people interspersed in the middle of each row of bookshelves and surrounded Bei Xiaoya. Bei Xiaoya looked at the three layers of people inside and outside, and her scalp was a little numb. Why didn't he go with Yu Yang just now, when he finished his errands, the two of them would find a bookstore together, so they wouldn't have to fall into this predicament. However, these people didn't give her a chance to regret it, and with a hook of the index finger of the flower shirt, the innermost person raised his fist and hit Bei Xiaoya.
After Bei Xiaoya kicked the two people one after another, she found that the encounter was not as bad as she thought, because the bookstore was very small, and there were four rows of bookshelves in it, although there were many of them, it was not good to besiege her together. Bei Xiaoya retreated to a position in her favor while fighting, and after those people were beaten down for five, the flower shirt also saw this problem.
"Knock the bookshelves down." As soon as he gave the order, the people in the house immediately overturned the bookshelves on the ground, and in a moment, the bookstore was in shambles.
Bei Xiaoya looked at the books that were trampled on or smashed by these people, and she was angry and annoyed, just as she clenched her fists and was about to fight with this group, the shopkeeper who went to the warehouse to pick up the books came back.
She pushed the door open and saw a room full of people, and then saw books all over the floor, and hostility immediately appeared on her face that was as light as autumn water.
"I'm sorry to make you like this." Bei Xiaoya looked at her with guilt on her face.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "It's fine." After saying that, he turned his gaze to the other people in the room, "Whoever knocked down the bookshelf will hold it up, and put the books on the ground back as they are." The voice was not loud, and it sounded quiet, without the slightest deterrent, and the group laughed after hearing it.
The shopkeeper didn't bother to say any more, she walked up behind a man, and before the man could react, a standard wrist grab, an elbow on his arm, and then the man's wailing was heard. When this group of people saw that there was another kung fu person, they immediately panicked.
"It's all just a showcase, let's go together." The man in the floral shirt was still calm, and he leaned over to the shopkeeper as he commanded.
As soon as the gang saw that the leaders were all on it, they surrounded them one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Bei Xiaoya knew that her physical strength would not be able to keep up after fighting for a long time, so she could only fight quickly, so she started to fight more ruthlessly than one move, or her head or lower abdomen, as long as she could summon enough strength, the few people who besieged her couldn't help but beat her so ruthlessly, and one by one she quickly fell to the ground in pain and couldn't get up.
Seeing that she had almost cleaned up, she turned around and went to help the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper seems to only be able to capture at close range, and she can handle it easily when there are few people, but when there are many people besieging her, she is a little unbearable. But before those people could gain the upper hand, Bei Xiaoya joined in. As soon as the two joined forces, these people couldn't bear it even more. Three times five divided by two, and the only one standing in the end was the man in the floral shirt.
The shopkeeper was not ready to do anything to him again, but stared at him and asked calmly, "Do you want to repeat what I just said?" ”
The person wearing the floral shirt was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and waved his hand and said, "Don't want it, don't want it, clean it up immediately." ”
The shopkeeper listened to him before he turned around and prepared to go to the counter. Whoever thought about it, she raised her foot, and the person's face changed. He viciously pulled a switchblade out of his pocket and stabbed the shopkeeper in the back.
Bei Xiaoya on the side reacted very sensitively, as soon as she saw the person's abnormal movement, she stepped on the bookshelf and kicked the person's arm, the person screamed in pain, and the knife fell to the ground.
The shopkeeper saw him sneak attack, so he didn't hesitate to walk over and give him a kick. After kicking it, he picked up the knife on the ground and swiped it on the man's face a few times, and the man in the flower shirt was so frightened that his voice changed, "I really don't dare, I'll clean it up immediately." After saying that, he shouted to the others on the ground, "Get up and clean up." ”
The shopkeeper was afraid that he was playing tricks, so she took only two steps back with her knife, and when she saw that the man was really getting up to work, she put away the switchblade and walked into the counter.
