Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Bookstore

The bookstore here is just a small bookstore with only a few rows of books, which can't satisfy Su Changqing's desire to buy the four classics of traditional Chinese medicine, and he can't, so he can only go to the center of the water city to buy them.

This trip to the water city center not only costs money, but also spends hundreds of dollars at once, which makes Su Changqing feel so distressed that his heart twitches.

This goes to the water city center, Su Changqing has nothing to delay there, after all, he has also seen a group of old friends in the sanatorium before.

After preparing a day's meals for a dog and a cat at home, Su Changqing packed up his things, and then walked out of the house with a burden.

It's a sunny day, cloudless, and the sky is blue.

He didn't walk fast, because there were still more than 2 hours before the bus came, so he walked all the way to look at the scenery around him.

Because it is almost late autumn, the leaves of the trees in the mountains have turned golden yellow in large patches.

As soon as the wind blew, they all fell to one side, clattering like golden waves of wheat.

The hair on Su Changqing's forehead was blown away, and his eyes were filled with red and gold reflections.

It was as if the flowers were flying, and he was blinded.

He sees such a scene almost every day, but even so, his heart still admires the beauty of this nature.

The mountain road was covered with golden leaves, and because no one cleaned it, Su Changqing stepped on it, and he had a thick feeling.

The wind swirled around the mountain road, whirling these leaves everywhere, as if there were a pair of invisible hands, making them surround Su Changqing's legs.

Su Changqing's spirit today is quite high, his cheeks are also very ruddy, he has a scarf around his neck, and he wears a knitting glove on his hand.

It was almost 9 o'clock, and he bought a loaf of bread in the shop as lunch and carried it in his arms, and the bus did not come until his legs were sore and numb when he stood up.

There was a lot of garbage in the bus, and Su Changqing took a step forward, and his shoes stepped on a white plastic bag.

At the same time, it is also filled with all kinds of strange smells.

Su Changqing held his breath, found a window position in the back of the car, and after sitting down, he turned his gaze directly to the window.

The windows in the bus couldn't be opened, and he scratched the transparent windows a few times, and then looked out the window with some boredom.

Task 7 On the first day of the release of the task, the countdown began, and if Su Changqing wanted to see it, he could see a line of bright red countdowns anytime and anywhere.

The countdown was like a long whip that whipped him hard, making him more sensitive to the passage of time.

Originally, he could sleep on this bus, but now it's a waste of time to even sleep, so he can't help it, so he can find those rotten books out of his bag again, and I can't wait to break one minute into two minutes.

In this highly concentrated situation, what motion sickness and what want to vomit are all floating clouds, and the more you look at it, the more energetic you are, and the nerves in your head are hung high.

These two or three hours were passed by him like this, and when Su Changqing got out of the car, he smelled the fresh and natural air outside, and almost didn't squat outside and vomit in the dark, the sun and the moon were dark.

Rubbing his somewhat sore head, his eyes were blackened for bursts.

Dizzy, holding on to the cold car body, Su Changqing looked at the blurred scenery around him in a bit of a trance and shook his head.

When his eyes cleared, he caught a glimpse of a tree.

The tree was already dying, the leaves had fallen off, and for some reason, no one had uprooted the tree.

The years have left it with only endless scars.

Su Changqing glanced at it, and his heart was inexplicably a little sad.

The cold wind whistled and he shivered unconsciously, the air here was as cold as ice, and even made him a little breathless.

The station is very lively, some people are on the same bus as Su Changqing, and now they get off the bus, some people pick up and some people pick up, and there is a lively atmosphere everywhere.

He seemed to be alone, which made him a little dazed.

Even though he had already set a goal, he was at a loss for what it was.

His goal now ......

Oh, yes, the four masterpieces of Chinese medicine.

Su Changqing shook his head and gently exhaled a white breath in midair.

It is difficult to find books such as traditional Chinese medicine in ordinary bookstores, so Su Changqing found someone to ask for directions, and the place to ask for directions was to go to Xinhua Bookstore. It's just that the answer to this question made him a little dizzy. Without him, the route that others say is too troublesome.

What to take a few buses and which bus to change to, how many miles to walk or something, Su Changqing who listened was a little unclear.

It wasn't until the other party wrote down the route with paper and pen that Su Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.

After thanking the other party, he set foot on the road to Xinhua Bookstore.

It was now noon, the sun was hanging high in the sky, exuding the warmth of autumn, Su Changqing took off his scarf and gloves from his body and put them in his bag.

It's still warm now, and he's in exercise before, so his body isn't cold.

Su Changqing looked at the swirling fallen leaves in mid-air, and looked at the pedestrians coming and going nearby, and inexplicably felt a little nervous in his heart.

Maybe it's because he is used to being alone, and when he comes to a crowded place, he is particularly uncomfortable.

I really want to go back now.

Su Changqing felt a sigh and sat down on the chair.

The bus came soon, and after Su Changqing got on the bus, he changed to another car and walked for more than ten minutes before coming to Xinhua Bookstore.

The bus was slow and had to stop and go, so it took me more than an hour to get to the bookstore.

And when Su Changqing walked to Xinhua Bookstore, he saw the rows of books, the piles of books, and the thoughts of wanting to go back were all gone, and even his face was a little red with excitement, his hands were trembling, and the expression on his face was even more radiant.

At the beginning, his dream was to have a large house of books!

In his first life, he could watch it at will, and in his second life, Su Changqing still had a few dry books to gnaw on, but something happened later, but fortunately he hid a few books in the soil at that time, otherwise the original books in his house would have been gone!

When Su Changqing thought of this, he sighed slightly, but he moved later, and he was about to forget about it, but now, when he saw this sea of books, he regained his enthusiasm for reading books and the memories of that time. It's just that he can't think of the wooden box under the big banyan tree now, and now, he can't wait to move a bed to live here, and be accompanied by books every day!

How nice would that be......

Su Changqing smiled dumbfoundedly, looked at the book here, and suddenly burst into tears.

Thankfully, he survived.

And Su Changqing, who came back to his senses, stepped on the steps as smooth as a mirror, looked at the books around him, and his heart followed them.

Staying here is simply paradise.

Su Changqing touched the east and west, his eyes wished to stick to it, he originally only planned to buy 4 books, he immediately abandoned his idea, and now, reading all these books is his goal for the rest of these years!

It's just that...... It's unrealistic.

Su Changqing was a little heartbroken, walking in the book city on these floors, it was like walking into the golden house but not being able to loot all the gold and silver treasures inside, and beating his chest!

In the second life, he worked too hard, and even his little wishes were not satisfied.

Now after a hundred years, I'm looking here, he, he, he's ......

Su Changqing took a deep breath, his heart was beating so hard that he almost couldn't breathe in this breath, and after a long time, he could barely suppress his pounding heart.

This is different from going to Zhang Xu's small bookstore, which is completely the difference between big fish and dried shrimp.

If...... One day, he was able to go to the world's largest book city?

Thinking like this, Su Changqing's heart began to jump alive again, as if he was carrying a rabbit in his arms.

His face was flushed, and his breathing was involuntarily like a broken bellows.

"Old man, are you alright?"

A woman who had been at the cash register walked over and looked at him with concern, even with deep worry in her eyes.

No wonder she is like this, in fact, Su Changqing's performance is too amazing, it looks like a precursor to the onset of the disease, and it only scares the other party a lot.

"It's okay, it's okay......" Su Changqing muttered to himself, his eyes were a little sloppy, and he couldn't hide his distraction in his cloudy eyes, and even fainted in his brain for a while.

Although he is now immersed in his own world, he still has a vague idea of what is happening in the outside world.

The cashier woman helped him and looked at him for a long time, only to gradually find that the other party had regained his composure.

"Thank you, thank you. ”

Su Changqing thanked the other party gratefully.

He is already old, and his mood is even more indifferent on weekdays, but this time he was so overjoyed that he almost fainted.

Reluctantly put his heart back into his chest, Su Changqing, a shriveled and thin old man, had no fatigue in his body at the moment, and he was in a trance and refreshed in an instant.

He walked briskly in this endless sea of books, and his face was ruddy as if he had rejuvenated a second spring.

Now he's thinking about how he can put this knowledge in his head.

Buying a book?

It's okay to buy one or two copies, but the whole book city ...... Forget it.

Rent a room near Book City?

Perhaps...... But what about the source of money?

Su Changqing can't remember the memory of his first life at all, and he even forgot his name, for him, this life that has lived a long life is his life. Therefore, he had no idea that there was such a thing as an e-book in the world.

After wandering around the book city for two hours, he reluctantly came to his destination to find the four famous books of Chinese medicine.
