Jin Qiangzi felt that the ground in front of him was constantly collapsing, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably, and he let out an extremely frightened scream in his mouth, and heard others secretly stealing fun.

"Hadron!"

Just after Shen Qi mentally defeated Jin Qiangzi's will with absolutely powerful strength, a group of people from outside the crowd hurriedly came, led by a middle-aged man in a gorgeous black robe, who was none other than Jin Quanguo, the owner of Jinling Bookstore.

"Daddy!"

Jin Qiangzi was almost scared silly, and when he saw Jin Quanguo, he threw himself over with a handful of snot and tears to tell how he was bullied.

However, when Jin Qiangzi saw the huge pit in front of him, he was really surprised, and he had a premonition that he couldn't ask for trouble. He took a few steps closer, just in time to see the thin white paper at the bottom burn with a thud, and the dazzling light turned into a wave of qi and churned, making him feel inexplicably frightened.

Shen Qi saw that the person who came was Jin Quanguo, and he had long wanted to communicate with this colleague, so he took the initiative to walk over and compose:

"Master Jin came just in time, your son's misconduct is really undisciplined. ”

Shen Qi behaved politely, but his words were merciless.

It didn't hurt for Jin Quanguo to be reprimanded in public like this, and he didn't dare to have a trace of anger on his face. Although he also has the strength of a pen, he can't even compare to his own son.

So I heard him bow his head obediently and apologize:

"Shopkeeper Shen taught me a lesson, the dog has been pampered by me since he was a child, and I hurt him. ”

Jin Quanguo's words made everyone in an uproar, especially when Jin Qiangzi sat on the ground and became the target of everyone, everyone said that he was a scum.

"Master Jin is highly respected, the younger generation does not dare to let you admit your mistakes, and if there is a chance in the future, we can drink tea together and communicate with each other. ”

After Shen Qi finished saying this, he looked at the big pit that he had blasted out of, and said to Jin Quanguo with a frown:

"By the way, the street was damaged, and the people from the county government asked for a while, what should I do?"

"Shopkeeper Shen rest assured, my Jin family is responsible for this pit, and the county government will ask about it, and we will also be responsible for compensation. ”

Jin Quanguo took on this responsibility without hesitation, so that the people around him felt that Shen Qi's image instantly became extremely tall and majestic, but in Shen Qi's heart, he had a much better impression of Jin Quanguo.

"That's fine, Master Jin, please, there are still things to deal with next, so I'll leave first." ”

Shen Qi said goodbye to Jin Quanguo, turned around and walked towards the gray-robed scholar and Liu Ruiguang, but the little Liu Ruiguang suddenly shouted:

"This is the pit daddy!"

Amusing everyone, Shen Qi touched Liu Ruiguang's little head and left here with the gray-robed scholar.

On the way, Shen Qi learned about the situation of the gray-robed scholar, it turned out that his name was Li Qinggang, a child who was dropped out of school, and today he offended Jin Qiangzi because of a trivial matter, and was humiliated by him on the street.

"Since you don't have any means to make a living at the moment, why don't you just follow me, my Shengda Bookstore is in need of manpower. ”

Shen Qi saw Li Qinggang's embarrassed face and comforted him, which made him cry in his heart.

"Thank you, shopkeeper!"

Li Qinggang didn't say a word, knelt on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed to Shen Qi on the street.

Just when Shen Qi got another help, in a big mansion in front of him, a man and a woman suddenly walked out with smiling faces. This man is sixty years old, with a fat body and a blessed face, and the woman is only in her early fifties, dressed in floral clothes.

"Dad, mother!"

Just as they appeared, Liu Ruiguang, who was beside Shen Qi, shouted, and then ran over happily.

"It turned out to be my grandfather and grandmother, Shen Qi was polite. ”

Shen Qi still remembered that Zou Manshan's grandfather was called Liu Changtai and her grandmother was named Liu Wu, so she walked over and bowed down in a proper manner.

"Haha, good nephew, Shan'er's girl has found a good home!"

Liu Changtai was very happy to see that Shen Qi was polite, and pulled him straight home, while Liu Wu took Liu Ruiguang's little hand and walked beside him.

When they entered the living room, Shen Qi sat down to drink tea, and Li Qinggang stood respectfully behind him.

"Good nephew, if I hadn't heard that you were tinkering with Shengda Bookstore, the old man wouldn't have known that you were in the county. ”

In the joyful atmosphere, Liu Changtai, an elder, took the initiative to toast Shen Qi with a cup of tea, and the two talked about it, and there was no gap at all.

"Qi'er, why don't you bring Shan'er's girl here?"

When the two of them were talking happily, Liu Wu pulled Liu Ruiguang and walked in, and when he entered the door, he looked at Shen Qi, who was a talent, and he was in a very happy mood. In her mind, she was fantasizing about the scene of Shen Qi and Zou Manshan entering the cave room, just like when she and Liu Changtai got married.

Shen Qi hurriedly got up to greet Liu Wu, and said with some disappointment in his mouth:

"Grandma's words are not what I thought, but my father-in-law is very strict with Shanmei and does not let her interact with me too much. ”

Liu Changtai, Zou Shangzhu's father-in-law, slapped the table angrily when he heard this, and seemed to be dissatisfied with his son-in-law Zou Shangzhu for a long time:

"The old man has always looked at that old boy unpleasantly, if it weren't for my Huilan's insistence on marrying him, I would never have cheapened him!"

Liu Wu saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly stopped:

"After so many years, Shan'er is about to get married, what are you still angry with Shang Zhu. ”

Shen Qi was watching from the sidelines and found that Liu Changtai's attitude towards Zou Shangzhu was somewhat similar to Zou Shangzhu's attitude towards himself, and he felt that it was really interesting.

Liu Changtai quickly regained his senses after that, after all, he was an old man, and then he looked at Shen Qi again, and after a little consideration, he said solemnly:

"Good nephew, I invite you to come over this time, I want to confirm with you, whether you have recruited four Liu brothers and sisters recently, I want to see it. ”

When Shen Qi heard this, his mind flowed, and he realized that Liu Hanchang's four brothers and sisters had the same surname as Liu Changtai, and he somewhat understood something:

"Listening to my grandfather's words, aren't the four brothers and sisters of the Liu family the same clan as you?"

Liu Changtai sighed when he heard this, and finally burst into tears:

"You're right, the eldest of their four siblings is called Liu Hanchang, and I gave him the name back then, but it's a pity that I haven't seen him for so many years, and today I heard that you were rescued from prison, and I'm sorry for his father. ”

Seeing this, Shen Qi didn't say anything more, and ordered Li Qinggang in the back to go back to the bookstore and called Liu Hanchang over.

During this period, he also learned about the relationship between Liu Changtai and Liu's four brothers and sisters, it turned out that Liu Changtai and Liu Hanchang's father Liu Jiangkui used to be brothers, but unfortunately they were separated because of the war, Liu Changtai settled in Anxi County, and Liu Jiangkui made a living in Fuzhou. It wasn't until they got married that Liu Changtai happened to hear Liu Jiangkui's name in Fuzhou, when he relied on the engraving technology handed down from his ancestors to live well, but Liu Changtai because he started a small business, the engraving technology was wasted, and now he almost can't.

Later, Liu Changtai suddenly lost contact with Liu Jiangkui, and after some inquiry, he learned that Liu Jiangkui's family was ruined and persecuted by Geng Jimao's father and son, the guard of Fujian Town, and his four good sons and daughters were also missing.

"I see, your Liu family was originally a family that engraved books, but it's a pity that my grandfather didn't pass on the technology, otherwise I could hire some people from your family to help. ”

Shen Qi knew that it was sad and didn't want to mention it again, and the topic quietly turned to other things.

"Qi'er, don't worry, you just need to make a notice, and you can still recruit excellent engraving artists in Anxi County. ”

Liu Changtai wiped the tears from his eyes and answered, still sighing in his heart that he couldn't even find his brother's bones.

After that, a while passed, Li Qinggang rushed to Liu's mansion with Liu Hanchang, the eldest brother, although he had heard his father say that he had a close relative, but he didn't know where it was, and as for how many times he met when he was a child, he didn't remember most of them.

As soon as Liu Hanchang entered the door, no one paid attention to him, and first bowed to Shen Qi and said:

"What did the shopkeeper call me for?"

Shen Qi saw that Liu Changtai was very excited when he saw Liu Hanchang, and hurriedly said:

"Look at the guy on the other side, he's your father's brother, go and recognize him. ”

Liu Hanchang already knew about this before he came, and took out the genealogy he had with him, and then saw Liu Changtai take out his own genealogy and compare it, and found that the records of the ancestors and ancestors were the same.

In this way, the Liu family recognized each other, and since Shen Qi was the future husband of their niece, the relationship between Liu Hanchang's four brothers and sisters and Shen Qi became closer.

In the end, Shen Qi had something to deal with, so he said goodbye first:

"Grandpa, don't keep me anymore, you have a good time catching up, I will let Liu Yichuan and the three of them come over in the evening, and your family can be lively." ”

Liu Changtai couldn't keep Shen Qi, so he could only send him back.

Shen Qi returned to Shengda Bookstore and first arranged tasks for Li Qinggang, and then handed over the sale of books in front of the bookstore to him.

After arranging this matter, Shen Qi asked the maid who guarded the store, Huajian Cinu, if she had ever appeared, but the reply she received was no.

Since this was the case, he put this aside in advance and returned to his study to review the latest batch of manuscripts, as many as two dozen copies.

After reading several inferior manuscripts, Shen Qi was suddenly attracted by a manuscript with familiar handwriting, and the signature on it was: Li Hou'an.

"Okay, you Li Guangdi, you didn't come to see me when the manuscript was submitted. ”

Shen Qi looked at the name and smiled, this "Houan" is Li Guangdi's number, or was it given by Shen Qi when they played together as children.

In ancient times, men had many font names, and most of them were self-styled, but the characters would not have until they were twenty years old.

Li Guangdi, who calls himself Li Hou'an, also wrote a novel entitled "The Vamphore of the Inkstone", which tells the story of a scholar Wang Jing who often practices calligraphy at night, but does not want to hide a white-faced female ghost with messy hair who drinks blood for a living in the inkstone he uses. Late one night, Wang Jing found a female ghost, saw that she was hungry, and was willing to give her her blood to satisfy her hunger, and then the two gradually became familiar, and the female ghost with white hair turned into a pretty girl Ling'er to accompany him, grinding ink and beating his shoulders every night, so as to serve him.

Wang Jing fell in love with Ling'er like this, but in order to prevent her from hurting outsiders, he continued to let Ling'er drink his own blood, and finally unconsciously, Wang Jing's body gradually lost weight and she couldn't afford to get sick. Ling'er knew that it was because she drank the blood in his body, so she left ruthlessly, so that his body could get better quickly. Later, Wang Jing's body recovered, but Ling'er was alone, remembering the promise that Wang Jing had promised not to drink other people's blood again, so he insisted on not dripping blood, and finally caused the Yuan Shen to be damaged, and quietly disappeared from the world, poor scholar Wang Jing has always believed that Ling'er will appear again.

The story is very touching, Shen Qi couldn't help but wet his eyes when he saw Ling'er disappear in the end. The feelings of people and ghosts that have been passed down since ancient times are ethereal, but they exist in people's imagination in large quantities.
