Chapter 143: Books Are My Life
Seeing that Guoqiang was coming, the two people didn't say anything and left quickly.
The rules of this industry do not mix with each other, let alone black eats black, so that Guoqiang can see his face, and they don't want to mix in the black market.
Guoqiang chased after him for a while, and when he saw that the two of them were running fast, he didn't chase them, he was afraid that he would just miss Liang Xiaonan at this time.
When he returned to the gate of the old printing house, he saw Liang Xiaonan standing there looking around.
"Waited, huh? Excuse me. ”
"It's okay, I've just arrived." Of course Liang Xiaonan pretended, she can't say that the bricks and stones were all lost by her!
"Did you bring the food?"
"Brought," Liang Xiaonan pointed to the dark corner, and put it here.
Guoqiang strode over a few times, saw two half-full pockets against the wall, and said in surprise: "This is?" ”
Opening a pocket, he copied it down with all his might, and his handful was full of soybeans, full of soybeans and fresh grains.
The other half sack, he opened it and was stunned: "Black beans? ”
"Well, your uncle is sick, probably malnourished, right?" Now the limbs are weak, and the doctors who prescribe soybeans are basically hungry and malnourished.
Guoqiang nodded.
"Okay, you can take half a bag of black beans, there are more than 100 catties, only a lot more. What is your relationship with that fifth grandfather? Dear? ”
"My parents died early, and I grew up with my fifth grandfather and fifth grandmother," Guoqiang's mind was on soybeans and black beans, "Can I give me these two sacks of beans?" ”
"Yes."
Guoqiang said: "Don't worry, the books are all new books, they are well preserved, let's go to read the books together, and I will take the soybeans away when you are satisfied with the books." ”
It's not for nothing that black eats black, Guoqiang goes to work during the day, and sets up a stall at night to pour a little thing in the black market, he is not greedy for other people's things, but if he can take advantage of the trend, he will not let it go.
Guoqiang tied the two sacks with rope and hung them on his shoulders like a blanket, one in the front and one in the back.
Originally, he was very tall, but now he can't eat enough, and he doesn't have much strength, and after walking for a while, he is tired and panting, and says, "Shall we rest for a while?" ”
Liang Xiaonan gave him her back basket, she carried the two sacks, and said, "Let's go, how far is it?" ”
"It's not far, it's just a little way." They chose to trade in front of the printing house because the books were hidden nearby.
Sure enough, they turned behind the printing house, and there was a dilapidated yard, and the houses and walls were smashed beyond recognition, and they were completely in ruins.
Guoqiang silently took Liang Xiaonan into this broken courtyard, and before entering, he looked around for a while to make sure that there was no one before taking Liang Xiaonan in.
There is a large water tank broken in half in the corner of the wall, Guoqiang moved the big water tank away, and lifted the wooden board under the water tank, and saw a hole the size of a person.
Guoqiang turned on the flashlight and took Liang Xiaonan down, Liang Xiaonan's eyesight was not limited, and he followed him with a sack.
In the end, she realized why she asked her to choose her glasses.
It was a basement, always twenty or thirty square meters, full of books, nothing but sacks.
"You can choose any of these books." Guoqiang said, "I don't know what books you like, when the fifth grandfather heard the wind last year, he immediately made a decision, and packed the good books in the library overnight in a sack, and the family definitely didn't dare to hide it. The fifth grandfather hid the book here. ”
Although what he said was scattered, Liang Xiaonan probably guessed the reason inside, who was the person from Cao Xiaoyuan County Library, and it should be a leader.
In order to protect the book, he hid the good books here, this big landlord may have been his friend before, this is the ruins, and it is safest to hide here.
Now I can't stand it anymore, so I have to sell books, and those who can risk losing their heads to exchange books and buy books must be people who love books, and they can be regarded as benevolent.
Liang Xiaonan opened the sacks, and each sack simply looked at some of the titles, all of them were new books, many of them had not been opened, and all of them were high-quality books, many of which had only been heard of in legends.
She decided to take it all.
Guoqiang saw that she liked it and had great hopes, if these books could be taken away by this female comrade, the rations of the fifth grandfather and the fifth grandmother should last for a long time.
Liang Xiaonan didn't know if Guoqiang could call the shots.
"Are you planning to collect these books or are you going to sell them gradually?" Liang Xiaonan asked.
Guoqiang immediately said: "You have to make a move, whoever wants to give it, the money is fine, and the food is better." ”
Last year, production began to decrease, and this year is not as good as last year, and even if you have money, you can't buy food.
"If you want these books, how much will it cost or how much food will you need?"
"Ahh Guoqiang was so excited that he didn't know what to say, he actually didn't know how many there were, he hadn't counted them at all, and he had sold a few books every once in a while, and no one wanted them.
"Can you wait here for me for a while? I'm going to ask my fifth grandfather? Guoqiang was afraid that Liang Xiaonan would run away.
"You're not afraid I'll steal all the books?"
"Don't be afraid, the fifth grandfather said, you are a book lover, and book lovers are innocent and innocent, and they won't do pickled things."
Guoqiang's words have the meaning of a high hat, but he is really not afraid that Liang Xiaonan will take the book away. The girl really has food, and she should be a person with a background.
"Go find your fifth grandfather, hurry up, just do it, if it doesn't work, I'll go."
Guoqiang ran faster than a rabbit and left.
Liang Xiaonan continued to open those sacks and look, the more she looked, the more excited she became, oh my God, she had inadvertently excavated a library's boutique!
After waiting for less than twenty minutes, Liang Xiaonan heard footsteps outside, it was Guoqiang and the fifth grandfather of glasses.
The glasses didn't wrap around his face this time, and he was a very thin old man.
"Comrade, do you want it?" The old man said excitedly, "Do you have a place to hide?" ”
"Yes." Liang Xiaonan said in his heart, I can easily hide it if it is 10,000 times more.
"There are 30 sacks here, and I have about 40-50 copies in each sack, for a total of more than 1,300 copies. I don't want you to exchange a pound of soybeans for a book, you love books, and it is too late for me to be grateful for these books. I heard Guoqiang say that you brought 100 catties of soybeans and 100 catties of black beans, enough, these beans are enough. ”
The old man was going to give her all the books in the basement.
Liang Xiaonan would not take such a big advantage in vain, but the old man brought back too much grain, and when the neighbors saw it, he couldn't say it clearly.
"In this way, I'll give you a little bit of all kinds of supplies, and I'll ask my family to send them back to this yard for you later?"
The old man resolutely refused, saying that the 200 catties of beans were enough.
Liang Xiaonan wanted to say that it was settled, but suddenly heard a sound of footsteps in the distance, she stopped talking and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.
Guoqiang jumped up all of a sudden, and asked nervously, "What are you listening to?" ”
"Does anyone usually come to this place?"
"No, no...... the old man trembled with fright, and said to her and Guoqiang, "You go quickly, quickly, hide immediately." ”
Guoqiang pulled him: "Fifth grandfather, let's all hurry up, don't worry about the book, ...... in the future" grabbed the old man and pulled him to the entrance of the cave.
The old man was full of tears: "It's all my fault, I was only happy when I came out just now, and I forgot to see if someone was watching...... Let's go, son, books are my life, and I will die with them. ”
