When Adaptation Meets Original
Chapter 12 Finding Books
Ji Qing turned to Ji Huaichu and said, "Don't run around, follow me, let's find books about enlightenment."
"Okay." Ji Huaichu always obediently obeyed Ji Qing's words.
Ji Qing swept his eyes, and wherever he looked, there were some incomprehensible characters, and there were very few characters that could be discerned. This made Ji Qing's search a few stars more difficult.
Simply start searching from the very beginning, anyway, the two of them have plenty of time.
After starting to search, Ji Qing realized how difficult it was. This place is not like a modern library, which is managed and organized by professional managers. All the books are scattered together. There are more than a dozen or even dozens of them in a bookshelf. All kinds of books.
It made Ji Qing very blind. If he can read, it’s okay. As long as he has enough patience, he will find it one day. The key is that he doesn’t know what is written in the book. He can only search for it by feeling. It’s just a blind cat looking for death. mouse.
Ji Qing's head was as big as a bucket, and Ji Huaichu squatted on the ground, looking at the books at the bottom. The two first searched for the books at the bottom with a clear goal, and then hit the books at the top.
Fortunately, the builder of the bookcase was a bit considerate, and a wooden ladder was placed next to each bookshelf, winding upwards.
The two of them worked together and slowly moved the wooden ladder to the desired position. Ji Huaichu did not agree with Ji Qing to go up, but Ji Qing had no choice but to compromise. Unexpectedly, this kid was quite stubborn. Ji Qing muttered in his heart, and told him to be careful and After finding the key to the book, he concentrated on holding the wooden ladder underneath, looking up at Ji Huaichu from time to time, worrying that he would slip and fall from it, regretting his compromise very much, and made him feel so uneasy now.
The two of them struggled for half an afternoon without any obvious progress. Instead, they were panting and sweating profusely.
Ji Qing stared at the bookshelves all over the room. This is only the first floor, and there are seven or eight floors above. It is so inefficient to search. By the time they find it, both of them must have grown up. There is no need for enlightenment books. It's almost the same as directly looking for books on literacy.
"Go and ask that person just now." Ji Huaichu suddenly said from the side.
Ji Qing subconsciously wants to refuse, and if it gets to Junxi's ears, neither of them will end well, but after thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible to realize it.
The man is a ready-made "librarian". He must know more about how to store books than the two of them.
"Let's go and have a look." After finishing speaking, the two walked towards the door of the Book Pavilion.
The two walked to the door, Ji Qing glanced around, the door was quiet, there was no man at all, Ji Qing's eyes searched around, but he didn't see a trace.
"Did you see him?" Ji Qing asked Ji Huaichu who had been looking around.
"No." Ji Huaichu shook his head.
Ji Qing frowned, how could he attract a man?Ji Qing rolled his eyes, and simply shouted "Hello, are you there?" Ji Qing didn't know the man's name, so Ji Qing could only call him "Hello".
There was no response for a long time, Ji Qing narrowed his eyebrows and eyes, and he simply got angry, and shouted loudly, "Big brother? The big brother just now."
After a few calls, there was still no response. Ji Qing walked to Ji Huaichu's side gloomyly, intending to give up this shortcut. He even called out "big brother" who pretended to be tender, but there was no response. Obviously, this Is it a rhythm that you don't want to talk to, or it's better to disappear automatically, so that you won't be embarrassed when you meet next time.
Just as the two turned around, they heard a familiar voice behind them. Ji Qing didn't care about this slow response, and went straight to the man's side, and asked very bluntly, "Big brother, what's your name?"
The man spat out two words, "Cheng Lan."
"Brother Cheng Lan..." Ji Qing said, wanting to get closer to the relationship between the two, but it was almost not done yet, and Cheng Lan said coldly, "Just call me Cheng Lan."
This is exactly what Ji Qing meant, Ji Qing didn't have the self-consciousness of being a seven-year-old child, when he met Cheng Lan, who was about his age, he naturally looked at Cheng Lan from the perspective of his peers.
Those "big brothers" and the like just now are just because they are stronger than others, and they call Cheng Lan like this in order to achieve their own goals.
"Cheng Lan, we want to ask you a favor." Ji Qing said.
"What?" Concise as always.
"I would like to ask you to help find the books used by children. The Jingxin Pavilion is too large for the two of us, especially the cumbersome books in it. You should know the location of such books better than us."
"Why?"
Cheng Lan's meaning is very clear. I know books about enlightenment, but what obligation do I have to find for you?And what can I get out of it?
There was no surprised expression on Ji Qing's face. He had figured out Cheng Lan's character just now. Although there were only a few short sentences, what did Ji Qing do?The star career in his previous life has made him used to interpreting other people's lives, and to successfully interpret the life of others, he must first understand that person's personality traits, coupled with long-term hypocrisy and obedience, Ji Qingzao has his own set of survival rules, and quickly Finding out the character of a stranger is the first principle of Ji Qing's survival.
Equivalent exchange is Cheng Lan's greatest characteristic, and this equivalent exchange has no specific criteria in his heart. As long as others are willing to exchange with him, no matter what it is, as long as he can take it out or be able to do it , we will do our best.
So Ji Qing's purpose is very clear, which is to exchange with Cheng Lan at an equal value. As for what to exchange, Ji Qing is also hesitant.
"Of course it's an exchange of equal value." Ji Qing said without hesitation.
Cheng Lan's originally divergent eyes focused on Ji Qing's body, as if he was very interested in what Ji Qing said. Ji Qing was overjoyed, knowing that he had pinpointed Cheng Lan's fate, so he quickly moved from the space He took out one of the rings, one of the "trash" he picked up last time. Ji Qing had never understood the function of this "trap". It looked like a piece of ordinary jade, but when he looked carefully, it was It does not have the clarity and moistness of jade at all. Instead, it has the coldness and sharpness of metal. It is very turbid. The most peculiar thing is that it has been growing and it is not obvious. But for a person with a very spirit of exploration, Still can find the difference.
In fact, it was Ji Huaichu who played with it in his hands every day and discovered its changes. After the two of them studied it, there was no conclusion, so Ji Huaichu put it in the space ring and waited to study it later.
Ji Qing glanced at Ji Huaichu apologetically, he knew that Ji Huaichu still liked it a little bit, this stone was like a stone but not a stone, like gold but not gold, but now the situation forced him to take a piece that was useless "Ragged" started to deceive Cheng Lan, even if he knew that Cheng Lan wouldn't care, Ji Qing couldn't do such a thing, he couldn't use other people's honesty as an excuse for his despicableness.
Ji Huaichu didn't say anything against it, even if he had some interest in that strange stone, but compared to solving Ji Qing's urgent need, it seemed insignificant. Ji Qing could think of his interest in that stone, and he was very happy. satisfied.
Cheng Lan's eyes flickered when he saw Ji Qing take out the stone from the interspatial ring. He didn't know whether it was because of the interspatial ring in Ji Qing's hand or the strange stone.
Ji Qing is not worried that Cheng Lan will use the big to bully the small to snatch the space ring. Even though he knows that the space ring is very precious here, he believes in his own judgment. , so under Cheng Lan's gaze, he took out the exchange very calmly.
Facts proved that Ji Qing's vision was correct. Cheng Lan didn't pay too much attention to the origin of the space ring on Ji Qing's hand. He reached out and took the stone that was obviously used for exchange. Putting it in front of my eyes and observing it carefully, I seem to be confirming something.
Seeing Cheng Lan's behavior, Ji Qing couldn't stop muttering in his heart, could it be something shocking to the world? Ji Qing only prayed that the aura of the protagonist would not play a role at this time, and let this stone, ordinary It's stone bar.
But even if this stone really has an amazing background and effect, Ji Qing has no intention of repenting. He values benefits, but it doesn't mean there is no bottom line.And that's over his bottom line.
It's just that the apology for Ji Huaichu in his heart deepened unconsciously. This is completely stealing the child's things, and he must make up for the child, Ji Qing made up his mind.
After a while, Cheng Lan seemed to confirm something, and said to Ji Qing in a familiar tone, "The transaction is established." After speaking, he took the two of them back to Jingxin Pavilion.
He didn't mean to tell the two about the stone at all, but seeing Cheng Lan's completely unchanged attitude, Ji Qing couldn't help but sigh that he was so upright, but it's not bad to be flattered or humiliated.
After returning to the Jingxin Pavilion, Cheng Lan left the two portraits and walked to the corner. Ji Qing followed closely behind Cheng Lan, making full preparations for the next borrowing of books.
Unexpectedly, when Ji Qing arrived, Cheng Lan had already tidied up, holding a large pile of books in his hands, Ji Qing glanced over, there were at least twenty books, almost covering Cheng Lan's head, and he could only peek from the side Cheng Lan's eyes remained blank.
Looking at the posture, it should be Cheng Lan sorting out all the books about enlightenment in the Jingxin Pavilion. Ji Qing was not polite, calling Ji Huaichu to come to Cheng Lan, and motioned Cheng Lan to put the books on the ground. Cheng Lan followed Ji Qing's instructions. He indicated that the book should be put on the ground so that the two little dolls who were not up to the standard height could move the book.
Ji Qing was also satisfied with Cheng Lan's thoughtfulness. He first bent down and picked up most of the books. After seeing Ji Huaichu picked up the rest of the books, he greeted Cheng Lan, and the two left Jingxin Pavilion hand in hand.
The distance from Jingxin Pavilion to the small courtyard is not close, at least 1000 meters away, let the two children stop and go, and stop to rest from time to time. By the time they really returned to the small courtyard, it was already dark.
Ji Qing took Ji Huaichu to do a few movements to relax his arms, and massaged each other for more than ten minutes before finishing the meal.
Shuli was still very concerned about the two of them being able to bring back so many books, but she also knew that she basically had nothing to say in front of Ji Qing, even if she was worried about the origin of the books, she was not qualified to question the two of them, she could only believe This "little young master" who has suddenly become tough recently, can be as cunning outside as he is in the small courtyard, don't attract anyone's attention, and grow up peacefully, this is Shuli's only luxury at present.
If Ji Qing knew Shuli's thoughts, he would definitely scoff at her, but he didn't know, and he didn't care, what he cared about now was how to coax the debtors.
Ji Qing didn't hesitate to guess whether Ji Huaichu was angry. This kind of boring and unnutritious problem, he knew that children would not be unhappy or even dissatisfied because of this matter, but Ji Huaichu was too sensible to make Ji Huaichu feel angry. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel distressed. He thought that Ji Huaichu was like the most ordinary child, because his relatives failed to fulfill their promises to him, or when they lost their favorite toys, he would cry and make a fuss to vent his emotions. Showing the most real emotions, but obviously such intense emotions, since the day he met Ji Huaichu, Ji Qing has not found it in Ji Huaichu, so he can't help but feel frustrated and distressed.
"Okay." Ji Huaichu always obediently obeyed Ji Qing's words.
Ji Qing swept his eyes, and wherever he looked, there were some incomprehensible characters, and there were very few characters that could be discerned. This made Ji Qing's search a few stars more difficult.
