Chapter 80: Mr. Eating Books
The eightieth episode of Mr. Eating Books
Night Cry Lang Taishi Ling is the first devil to escape from hell captured by Ermao and Pig Pig since they came out of hell! The two secretly rejoiced in private.
The next day, Chen Baohua was afraid of neglecting his friends, so he went to the county seat early in the morning. In preparation for the next poetry meeting, after Chen Baohua met with his brothers, he went to the bookstore again to see if there were any books he liked?
When I entered the store, I walked around and stumbled upon a person.
Just as he was about to come up and talk, the book-eating gentleman seemed to see him too, but he consciously avoided him and turned away. Busy reading, Chen Baohua didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to look for the books he needed.
Suddenly, I heard a commotion from there. Chen Baohua looked at the sound when he heard it, but it turned out that the book-eating gentleman was arguing with the salesperson. It was clear that Mr. Eater wanted to leave, but the salesman wouldn't let him go.
As a member of a poetry club, Chen Baohua felt the need to come forward to ask about the situation, and if he could, he would help him. When he asks about the situation, he learns that the bookstore suspects Mr. Eat Books of stealing books!
Stealing books? Chen Baohua thought to himself: Is there really such a coincidental thing in the world? Could it be that he really stole my book of 10,000 quatrains of the Tang Dynasty? Chen Baohua decided to find out the situation first on the pretext of helping to mediate.
So, he stepped forward and said to the salesman: "Comrade, don't make any noise, if you have something to say, this gentleman is a friend of mine! If you can trust me, I'll help you ask him, and then say yes?"
"No need to ask," the salesman said, "Yesterday he came to the store and asked me to help him find a copy of Tang and Song poems, and I helped him get a few copies." He sat there and flipped through it for a while, and it was over. I didn't see him put the books back on the shelves, but the books were gone. I don't see him holding a book in his hand. I couldn't do a search, so I didn't say anything to let him go. Today he came again, I still want Tang poems and Song Ci, I already had a plan in my heart, and I gave him the book that was ready for Lu, and I looked at him from the side. This time he was leaving again, and I could see it clearly, he was about to leave before he put the book back on the shelf, and I stopped him!"
"Oh! That's right!" Chen Baohua looked at Mr. Eater. Then he said to the salesman: "Comrade waiter, if you don't see him put the book back on the shelf, it doesn't mean that he stole your book, after all, he is still in your bookstore and has not left." As long as you don't leave your bookstore, no one can count a book in their hands as stealing, otherwise, wouldn't everyone here be suspected of stealing books?"
"Sir!" said the salesman, "I understand what you said, but I don't see the book in his hand, and I don't see where the book he took before was placed, so did he just lose the book in vain?"
"Oh! That's right. You let me ask you. Chen Baohua turned his face to look at Mr. Eat Books and said, "Mr. Eat Books!" She said that you took the books in the store, and you answered that you didn't take them?"
"I didn't take it!" replied Mr. Eater crisply.
"Do you think this is good?" Chen Baohua said: "Since the waiter has identified you, I think you might as well let him search his body, you didn't steal it anyway." You can search to prove your innocence, what do you think?" Chen Baohua suspected that he had hidden the book in his clothes. Because Mr. Eater is dressed differently from ordinary people, he dresses very much like the ancients on his hot dog days. It is possible to say that there is a place to hide a few books.
"This..."Mr. Eater seemed to have concerns. Hesitant.
"What?" Chen Baohua asked, "Is there any inconvenience?"
"No, nothing! I'll let her search!" Mr. Eater was tough, and stepped forward to wait for the salesman to come and search him.
Looking at his indifferent tough look! The salesman was a little timid. I don't know for sure. If this cannot be found, it will violate the law and bear the consequences. The salesman hesitated .......
"To search or not to search?" Mr. Eater was a little impatient.
"To search or not to search?" the salesman couldn't decide.
"To search or not to search?" Chen Baohua urged.
"You'd better search!" said Mr. Eater, "I'll wait for you to clear my suspicions, if you don't." You have to apologize publicly to me in front of so many people!"
As soon as Mr. Publisher said this, the salesman was even more bottomless in his heart, and hesitated, perhaps because he was bottomless in his heart, sweating profusely, and his clothes were already soaked.
"To search or not to search" Mr. Eat Books is a little uncalm. In the face of so many people, who can calm down when they are suspected of being book thieves?
"In my opinion, you should search it!" Chen Baohua said: "If you don't search, you will publicize it in advance, and I am afraid that Mr. Eater will not look good on his face." ”
"It's ....... The salesman hesitated, in a dilemma between searching and not searching. At this moment, looking at that state, the waiter himself looked like a book thief, and he was nervous beyond words.
"Don't search for it, right?" Mr. Eat Books is very manic, and he is originally polite and unusual.
"Mr. Eat Books!" Chen Baohua said: "You calm your anger, take your time, just figure things out, stop your anger!"
Mr. Eat Books did not continue to attack Chen Baohua's face. But she fought back her anger.
"What do you call him?" the salesman asked Chen Baohua, "What is your name Mr. Eater?"
"Yes, it's called Mr. Eater!!what?" Chen Baohua didn't understand what she meant.
The salesman vaguely felt that his name was a little strange! Could it be that he really stole the book? Thinking so in his heart, he said it on his lips. Because that's something that no one wants to believe.
The salesman said it so unintentionally, but Mr. Eat was so surprised. But this phenomenon was soon overshadowed.
"Alas, you!" Chen Baohua smiled and said: "You are really imaginative, the reason why people call him Mr. Eat Books means that people are knowledgeable, how can you understand it so well?"
"You don't talk nonsense!" Mr. Eater pointed to the salesman's nose and said, "Do you search or not?" If not, then well, let's go to the official. ”
As soon as he said that he was going to see the official, the salesman was a little nervous. Even Chen Baohua didn't think there was a problem in his words. What is the problem? He used a special phrase commonly used by the ancient Chinese, the word "seeing officials." Try to ask, the current level of civilization of Chinese has entered the current stage, and when there is an incident, quarrel, fight, rape, robbery, murder, arson, burglary, they will say things like reporting the case, calling 110, going to the police station, going to court, and so on. Who else would say that going to see an official?
Chen Baohua wanted to use this opportunity to uncover the true face of Mr. Eater, but he ignored some of his unreasonable details.
"Hey!" At this time, Mr. Eater shouted unrelentingly: "I said you search or not? If you don't search, you will apologize to me!"
"Comrade waiter! You should search for it! If you can't find it, it can be regarded as a proof of people's innocence. ”
"This, I ....... Looking at Mr. Eater's aggressive appearance, the salesman was timid, and he didn't know whether to search well or not.
While the salesperson was hesitating, the bookstore manager came. After he asked about the situation, he looked at Mr. Eater, and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Mr. Eater's hand tightly and said, "I'm sorry sir! Our employees are really embarrassed to do such a thing! Please forgive me! I am the manager of this store, and I apologize to you!"
Mr. Eater was embarrassed by the manager's apology, and said in a loud voice, "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! It's okay! It's okay! Are you?"
"I'm the manager here!"
"What do you mean by manager?"
"You don't understand that, it's a joke!" said the manager, "The manager is the boss, and I have the final say." ”
"Oh!," Mr. Eater pondered the manager's words.
"Sir, I'm sorry. The manager smiled at the gesture of invitation.
Mr. Eater was embarrassed to continue the seizure, and walked through the steps given by the manager.
"Sir, you're welcome next time!" the manager delivered to the door.
Watching the manager do this, the salesperson couldn't figure out what the manager was thinking. But he was honestly afraid, afraid of being beaten by the manager. Fortunately, the manager didn't do that, after all, she was also good for the bookstore.
Chen Baohua was also confused, and finally seized such an opportunity to figure out the doubts in his heart! I don't know if Mr. Lu Dao will dare to come again? (To be continued......)
