I bent the devil

For Gu Jiu, Huaicheng was just a place he had seen a few days ago, but after revisiting the old place, he suddenly found that many places were completely different from what he saw 'a few days ago'. It is here, but it has changed a lot. It is different from the low one before. Now it has directly turned into two floors, and a special shop has been set up next to it with benches and wooden tables.

After noticing Gu Jiu's surprised gaze, Song Qingyi said lightly, "Even though Huaicheng is more prosperous than other places, there are still many people who can't afford books, so I changed the stores here to other than selling books. , and is also in the business of renting books and copying silent books. Anyway... His books are not sold, but they are just stored there to collect dust, so that if someone wants to read a book but does not have enough money, he can spend one-third or even five cents One of the money rents a scanning copy to read."

When the shopkeeper who was holding the book noticed someone standing at the door of the shop, he raised his eyes and saw Song Qingyi, who was showing a look of surprise, stood up to greet him, but Song Qingyi waved his hand slightly, understood instantly and sat down again , no longer looking at him and Gu Jiu.

It's just that he couldn't concentrate on the books anymore, and Song Qingyi didn't dare to read them due to the majesty he had accumulated in Huaicheng over the years, even if the store itself was born in martial arts.

Many times, when expressing admiration and admiration to a certain person, in addition to status, strength, intelligence, etc., the most important thing is his own personality charm.

And Song Qingyi is a person who gathers all these points in one body.

When he was in Qingyang back then, when he was not proficient in martial arts at all, he relied on two of them to stand at the top of the nine ranks mixed with snakes and rats, becoming an existence that no one dared to provoke even though he obviously didn't know martial arts.

Although Song Qingyi seldom showed up in front of people in Huaicheng, he did not try to be mysterious. He would even stand on the city wall to receive the congratulations from the people of Huaicheng during major festivals every year. It's just that the people of Huaicheng know very well that their city lord doesn't like to be surrounded.

So, apart from giving good-natured smiles and eyes full of admiration and reverence, everyone didn't approach him enthusiastically, but just followed him with his eyes until he disappeared from his sight by the side of a young man.

And the store owner of the bookstore now has the same sentiment.

Naturally, Gu Jiu didn't notice this, he just felt that Huaicheng in front of him had a more pleasant atmosphere than before.

Like Chinese New Year, even though it is bitingly cold, the air is still filled with joy.This cannot be imitated by anything.

And Gu Jiu, who has felt this pleasant atmosphere since entering Huaicheng again, saw what Song Qingyi was doing at this time.He gave those who are poor, but eager to find the key to another door, the only way other than martial arts.

Standing there for a while, Gu Jiu saw those neat and tidy scholars who were not well-dressed across a few rows of bookshelves, carefully holding the books in their hands with a sincere and pilgrimage-like expression, and slowly and carefully flipping through each book. Pages, eyes do not want to leave the book even for a moment.

That look and demeanor filled Gu Jiu's heart with emotion.

The saying that knowledge can change fate is not only applicable to his era, but also used more here.In this place where there are not many opportunities to release books and characters, it is very rare to be able to read and practice calligraphy.

But if you want to further sell it to the emperor's family, it is not that simple.

After all, here, just like the martial arts family has gathered a large number of superb tricks and martial arts cheats, the huge and more esoteric books are only in the hands of everyone, and only the descendants of the family have the opportunity to study them. Not necessarily eligible.

And in this bookstore, although there will not be those famous books that everyone holds in their hands, at least Song Qingyi has given them a future of 'Through current efforts, maybe we can see more and better books in the future'.

For some reason, even though this place is quiet and silent, Gu Jiu was still shocked by the silence.

He turned around and looked up at Song Qingyi behind him. When the man in front of him lowered his eyes in doubt, he lowered his voice and looked at him with bright eyes. "...What should I do, I miss you so much."

Song Qingyi was in a daze, and it was rare for him to be dazed for two breaths before he looked at Gu Jiu in the wrong eye.

After a while, he said in a low voice.

"Don't make trouble."
