Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Accountant Tan was locked in the cellar.

And the cellar is the cellar of Aunt Deng’s house.

To put it bluntly, Aunt Deng was worried and decided to look after Accountant Tan herself.

Accountant Tan was quite honest. Although he was dejected, he had no intention of resisting. When he saw Aunt Deng, he was more or less like a mouse seeing a cat. He shrank his neck and wished he was a quail.

Aunt Deng didn't make things difficult for him, but she didn't retry him either.

Even the food was not skimped on every day.

Xu Yun took up the post immediately and temporarily served as the accountant.

Since the people who came to buy grain did not come back, Xu Yun had quite some free time when he first took office.

She took some time to memorize two enlightenment books and successfully exchanged them for two points from the system.

These two points were indeed too few. Xu Yun almost laughed out of anger and asked the library: "What can these two points be exchanged for?"

The cold voice of the librarian seemed particularly emotionless: "You can exchange it for the reading rights of the elementary books."

This time, Xu Yun learned a lesson: "Is it a one-time thing, or is it permanent?"

Library: "The reading privileges exchanged by the host are permanent, but can only be read within the library and cannot be borrowed."

Xu Yun caught the key words: "So, books in the library can be borrowed? And they can be exchanged for points?"

Library: "When the total points reach 100, the library will open the borrowing function, and you can borrow books with your points. You can return them within three days."

Xu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly: "What if it's more than three days?"

Library: "If it exceeds three days, the points will be deducted again."

Xu Yun asked again: "Is there anything else you haven't told me?"

The library asked back: "What does the host want to inquire about?"

Xu Yun was silent for a moment: "Everything you didn't say."

Library: "There are 1999 rules in total, which will take six hours. Host, would you like to start now?"

Xu Yun refused immediately.

She once again clearly felt the difference between a library and a person. The rigidity of the library had almost reached an outrageous level - facing such a rigid existence without any emotional changes, her feelings also changed from novelty to speechlessness.

Whenever she talked to the librarian for more than a quarter of an hour, she began to feel uncomfortable.

The other person seemed to be a human, but... it felt completely different.

But this situation makes people feel at ease for some reason.

Because rigidity means that the other party has no ulterior motives, no calculations, and no betrayal.

Xu Yun then asked what books he could choose to read now.

The next moment, she saw the huge towering bookshelves.

Among them, the thin mist in front of the bookshelf closest to her dissipated, and the names of the books that she could not see clearly before became clear.

Xu Yun looked through them one by one and found that they were all books he had never heard of.

She frowned and asked, "What are these books for?"

Library: “This is enlightenment reading.”

Xu Yun looked through them one by one and found it difficult to make a decision, so he asked the library to recommend two books to him.

The library replied coldly: "The library does not have the function of recommending books. Please choose by yourself."

Xu Yun: …

Finally, she asked, “So which two books are the best-selling ones?”

This time the library answered: "Xinhua Dictionary, 100,000 Whys."

Xu Yun decisively chose these two books.

The two books on the bookshelf seemed to be pulled out from the bookshelf by an invisible big hand and then placed in front of Xu Yun.

Xu Yun first looked at the Xinhua Dictionary.

The number of copies of a book must be related to demand. Bookstores must ensure profitability. This book is the best seller because many people need it.

However, she found that she didn't recognize one of the four characters in the written "Xinhua Dictionary", but she guessed it was "Hua".

At this moment, she believed what the system said, that these books came from another world.

Only in this way can we explain why the characters used are different.

Xu Yun took a deep breath and opened the book in front of him.

Then I saw the index.

After spending some time with the library to understand the meaning and purpose of the index, Xu Yun officially opened the first page of the text.

Then she understood why the book was called "Dictionary".

After a long silence, Xu Yun asked, "Are elementary books the same as enlightenment books?"

System: "Beginner books are for children aged 4 to 12."

Xu Yun: …

Forget it, since I’ve already changed it, it might as well take a look.

So in the next few days, Xu Yun used his free time to read through the Xinhua Dictionary.

Before reading, Xu Yun didn't think much of it, but after reading it, she realized that she had made the right choice in choosing this book. The comparison between traditional and simplified Chinese characters made her completely connect the two languages.

She benefited greatly from the explanation and application of each word in the dictionary.

I even had a vague understanding of many parts of the books I had read before that I didn't quite understand.

But what surprised Xu Yun the most was that reading in the library did not take as much time as reading outside!

She asked the library and found out that the speed of time inside the library was only half of that outside!

This is simply amazing!

Xu Yun couldn't even imagine how much more he could do with the same amount of time with this!

However, just as Xu Yun finished reading the Xinhua Dictionary and was about to start reading the thick book "One Hundred Thousand Whys", the grain transporters came back.

Xu Yun became busy all of a sudden.

This time, twenty-five people went out to transport grain, but only thirteen came back.

There is not much food.

Faced with these twenty people who were so depressed and tired that they didn't want to say a word, Xu Yun didn't dare to think about what they had encountered.

Aunt Deng didn't show any surprise on her face. Instead, she looked calm, as if she had already guessed this possibility. She just said, "The others should go back and have a rest and a hot meal. Xiang Niang, come with me to count the food."

Xiangniang is the sister-in-law who leads the team this time.

The others dispersed.

Xiang Niang sat down tiredly, looked at Aunt Deng, and tears came down: "It was almost completely blocked."

Aunt Deng patted Xiang Niang on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "We knew on the first day of doing this that we can't always come back."

Xiang Niang raised her hands to cover her face, her shoulders shaking, and she burst into tears: "But I think it's all my fault. If I had thought more carefully, would the news not have leaked out?"

She really blamed herself.

The loss is nearly half.

The money was spent, but no food was brought back.

So many people died.

Aunt Deng said nothing, but just hugged her in her arms.

Those who didn't wait to return home were also crying quietly outside at this moment.

The crying sounds were connected together, like a net, dragging people as if they were about to sink into the abyss. The feeling of oppression was impossible to escape.

Xu Yun lowered his eyes, sighed softly, and put down the pen in his hand.

At this time, another injured young lady rushed in regardless of her own injuries: "Xiang Niang is lying! She is the traitor! She wants us to die on purpose!"
