Chapter 16 The Bookstore

"You'll be able to get your wish right away." Sun Yang said.

Regardless of whether the matter is related to Long Qingting or not, Dai Baichuan looks like he is definitely going to be unlucky, will Long Qingting's footsteps enter the country?

Sun Yang is not an insider, but looking at the attitude of those young detectives when they see Long Qingting as if they were seeing idols and stars, he knows that it is only a matter of time.

If not this time, it will definitely be next time.

Long Qingting smiled and didn't say anything.

"You two, do you want to go in?" The driver asked suddenly.

A fault suddenly appeared in front of the road, and they had been walking on an asphalt road built by the city government, with white paint in the middle of the road, but concrete pavement in front of it, and the ground was marked with yellow paint to mark the boundary of the road.

A police assault car was parked on the edge of the demarcation line, followed by a large mobile police booth with a dozen military police officers sitting inside.

Not far from them was a food stall, and on the deck chairs on the sidewalk outside were several young men with tattoos on their arms, playing with each other nonchalantly.

The distinction is clear.

"That's it." Long Qingting said, and then checked out and got out of the car.

The street in front of me suddenly narrowed enough for two cars, but the roadside was full of all kinds of shops.

a scantily clad young girl with a tired face; Laborers with a wooden expression, engaged in low-level labor; a middle-aged woman with a loud voice and a capable face; There are also office workers who are submissive and wear inferior suits; But most of the time, it is the young people who are arrogant and deliberately expose their tattoos.

Countless voices converged here, although because it was just noon, many shops had not yet opened, but in front of Sun Yang, it was still a chaotic and prosperous appearance.

The buildings on both sides of the road are tall, at least a dozen storeys, and are full of all kinds of alluring billboards, and black wires are densely hung on the shelves, stretching out in all directions like cobwebs.

After Sun Yang looked at it for a while, he found that many houses were directly built on top of the original houses.

The streets are narrow and flanked by tall buildings, and there is a strong sense of oppression, as if those buildings are about to fall on the heads of pedestrians at any moment, giving people a strong sense of insecurity. Sun Yang was a little puzzled by how the people who lived here could ignore such a threat.

This should not be the legendary nightclub area, but the real side of the bustling area of Nanyan, maybe because they said they were looking for someone, and the driver sent them here.

Long Qingting patted him and walked in with a smile.

Ignoring them, the two of them strolled along the main road, flanked by narrower alleys that stretched out like capillaries, with more dilapidated houses and more shops. A person in one house can effortlessly cross the distance between two houses and jump to the opposite side. In some places, there is a sky corridor between the two houses.

Sun Yang couldn't imagine what it would be like at night, when the night obscured the dilapidated buildings, leaving only colorful neon lights, the world might look completely different from what it is now.

But he began to have a headache, Long Qingting's previous spell was only determined by a point on the map, but in a place like Nanyan, the location of that point may have thousands of people, plus the intricate lanes and house structures here. How easy is it to find two hidden people here?

"When you get to this place, of course, you have to look for the snake here." Long Qingting said.

"These bastards, you say? Will they know the monk's whereabouts? ”

"Don't underestimate them, in a place like this, they may be much more efficient than the best cops." Long Qingting shook his head. "But you're right, for cultivators, of course, you have to find cultivators."

"Cultivator...... "Sun Yang couldn't help but be a little curious, what would a cultivator who would live in seclusion in such a place look like?" Where do we go to find him? ”

"I don't know." Long Qingting shook his head. "Well, though, you can't go wrong with looking for the most obtrusive place."

Sun Yang looked along his gaze and found that it was an ancient book calligraphy and painting shop that had just opened.

"Who would buy books and paintings in a place like this?" Long Qingting said. "You're in this business, would you open a store in a place like this?"

The two walked into the store.

"Welcome, welcome, please take a look." A man in his thirties said he was busy cleaning.

The atmosphere here makes Sun Yang feel very familiar, speaking of which, his own "Xinzhai" has not opened the door for a long time, and without a place to drink tea and the object of ridicule, will the surrounding bosses feel very unaccustomed?

He picked up a book and found that it was a carved version of the Dream of Red Mansions that had been out of print for many years, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"How?" Long Qingting asked.

"The book here...... It's all good. Sun Yang said.

Unlike the Taoist or Buddhist classics that he mainly sells, the books here are very miscellaneous and varied, but the key thing is that the random bookshelves are definitely not fakes or looks, almost every one of them has a history and is different.

He even saw the "Wengen County Chronicles" he had seen in the archives before, the paper was a little yellow, but the ink was still very clear, and it was very well preserved, and it looked almost like new.

His fingers rubbed the slightly rough paper, and he suddenly remembered the dead Lu Lou, and felt a little emotion in his heart.

The question is, as Long Qingting said, in such a place, who would buy these things?

"You're the boss?" Long Qingting asked.

"You're looking for a boss?" The shopkeeper put down the dust in his hand and looked at them with some suspicion.

"My brother is also in the ancient books business, and he wants to talk to your boss when he sees Hunting."

The shopkeeper looked at Sun Yang and saw that he was too young, so he couldn't help but shake his head.

Sun Yang took out one of his business cards and handed it to him, and after he looked at it, he returned the business card. "He's supposed to be coming soon, right? But that's not for sure, sometimes he doesn't come all day. ”

"Is there a phone number for him?" Long Qingting asked.

While the three of them were talking, the door of the bookstore was pushed open, and a sloppy man who couldn't tell his age walked in humming a song.

"Oh~ you're in luck." The shopkeeper said. "Boss, there are two people looking for you here!"

The man who had just entered the door raised his head, his sleepy-eyed expression suddenly changed, and he opened the door of the store and ran out at a very fast speed!

Sun Yang was already about to greet him, and such a change caught him off guard, but Long Qingting had already chased him out like a sharp arrow, and the door of the bookstore swayed back and forth, making a creaking sound.

Sun Yang and the shopkeeper were stunned, and a few seconds later, the shopkeeper suddenly shouted.
