In that era, very few people had learned English.
After the woman opened the first page, she began to regret it. She didn't even know how to read such a difficult language, so why bother herself?
Perhaps there was a fire in her heart that refused to admit defeat. Although she once again threw the book aside, she still went to ask her neighbor who was a professor the next day.
Since the past few years, various universities have resumed admissions, but instead of passing the college entrance examination, they have implemented an admissions system based on recommendation and selection.
The old professor was very surprised by her visit. Hearing that she wanted to learn English by herself, the professor took out an English dictionary and a simple English textbook.
In this way, even without the teacher's careful guidance and relying on two books, she still stumbled through reading this famous book.
She has never been abroad, and it is impossible for her to travel through time and space to the Middle Ages where the author lived, but she has a taste of what Europe was like in the fourteenth century from the book.
She seemed to gradually understand why someone would want to open a bookstore that accommodated all kinds of books.
And Chu Yao discovered another extremely interesting thing. This "Decameron" was not an ordinary paper book.
Whenever the woman read deeply, some translucent black long branches stretched out from the book, extending inward from her fingertips until they reached various organs of her body.
Those long branches are somewhat different from the branches of plants. Instead, they are more like some kind of organ on an animal. They can move flexibly and have a certain ability to perceive the outside world.
As the long branches extend outward one inch, the words printed on the book will become lighter.
When the woman read the last word of the book, all the words in the book disappeared like smoke, and the beautiful pictures on the cover of the book disappeared, leaving only black.
In other words, the shape of this book is getting closer and closer to the "Book of Fate" that the woman took out.
When the decoration of the bookstore was finally completed, the woman's mood had changed from boredom to joy. She couldn't wait to share with someone the results of her reading during this period.
Before she entered the bookstore, the boss was already sitting in the bookstore.
The area of the bookstore is two or three times larger than the original grocery store. The overhead lights have been replaced with comfortable and bright styles. Vibrant potted plants are placed on the windowsill, which makes people feel more comfortable.
"I have finished reading the book you gave me." The woman said nervously.
Although she read it through, she always felt that she did not understand it well enough.
Many of the stories described in the book require a certain understanding of the culture at that time and the local area. The woman knew nothing about all of these, and she just completed the reading task as if she were swallowing it.
"No, you haven't finished reading yet."
The boss took the book in her hand, opened the title page, then grabbed her hand and pressed it down.
Before she could react, there was a stinging pain in her palms, as if some kind of insect was eating her flesh.
She wanted to pull her hand back, but the man was very strong and exuded an intimidating aura, making the woman unable to struggle.
Fortunately, it all ended quickly, leaving a red palm print on the page.
The boss turned back a page, and a line of wonderful words appeared on the paper. It was the time and place of the woman's birth.
"Why? This book clearly didn't have this line just now. Why did you know my birthday? Why..."
