Back to 11 years old

Now the town is no better than ten years later. There is no direct train to the provincial capital at all. He Lin has already thought about it, first take a car to the railway station in the city, and then take the train to the provincial capital. My son hasn't developed much, and he's not tall. It only costs half the ticket to take the train, and the train ticket is indeed cheaper than the bus ticket. There are more trains to the provincial capital, which is more convenient.

It's quite rare for a person as old as He Lin to go to the city by himself. Even in the countryside these days, most families only have one child. The baby is very precious. Who can rest assured that the child will go out alone? However, someone soon recognized He Lin. Hejiawan was only one kilometer away from the town. Lin Hong's husband found someone else outside. The news that Lin Hong committed suicide by drinking pesticide had spread widely. I commute to and from school on this road every day. There are quite a few people who know him in the town. Now I saw him wearing a white coat, a pair of cloth shoes, and carrying a schoolbag. He told the conductor that he was going to the city. Everyone had some guesses, some thought that He Lin might want to find He Aiguo, some were worried that He Lin might have other plans.

The conductor is a woman in her thirties, with a relatively fat body, but she is the mother of He Lin's classmate. He Lin has met him several times. Seeing He Lin asking how much it costs to go to the city, he gave He Lin a pitiful look: " You are such a small number of people, what kind of ticket do you buy, um, you can sit here, so that someone will come up later and ask you to give up your seat!" As he said, he directly led He Lin to the passenger seat and sat down, then asked: " He Lin, why did you think of going to the city today?"

He Lin hugged his schoolbag in his arms, bowed his head and said softly, "Thank you, auntie, I am the only one at home now, I want to go to the city to see if I can learn something to support myself!" How much money can he get from selling those few ancient books? He just wants to save some capital. With the right idea, it is actually easy to earn money.

The conductor heard this, and immediately sighed: "You're still young, but it's good to go see it!" She felt a little pity in her heart. He Lin had good grades in school, and he won the three-best student award every year. When encountering this kind of thing, there is no parent to take care of it. I am afraid that I will not be able to go to school. At a young age, I have to find a way to earn money to support myself. Thinking of my son, the family serves delicious food and drink , but still not up to date, really nothing to say.

However, everyone is willing to show their sympathy in unimportant places. For a child as old as He Lin, it is optional to buy a ticket in the car, as long as it does not occupy a seat. The conductor is happy to give it a ready-made As for other aspects, she didn't have that kind of thought, so when the people in the car were almost loaded, she woke up the driver who was dozing off with his eyes closed, and told him to drive.

He Lin bumped all the way to the city. Fortunately, the bus station and train station were not far away. He Lin walked all the way there, but he couldn't buy the nearest train ticket to the provincial capital. He Lin gritted his teeth and bought a You need to buy a platform ticket, and you can make up the ticket when you get on the train. Although it costs a few dollars more, it can save some time.

There were a lot of people on the train. Even though it was already October, the weather was still relatively hot. This kind of green train did not have air conditioning or anything. Even with the windows wide open, it could not hide the unpleasant smell inside. He Lin huddled in a corner , hugging his schoolbag tightly, along the way, someone asked where his parents were, and he said that he was going to the provincial capital to find his parents, and his parents didn't have time to come back to pick him up, so they waited at the train station. When it comes to picking up the station, most people's curiosity is limited, as long as they have a plausible reason, no one will get to the bottom of it. Therefore, He Lin was able to arrive at the provincial capital railway station peacefully, and even because of the large number of people on the train, The flight attendants were not able to squeeze through, so even the money for supplementary tickets was saved.

After He Lin came out of the train station, he felt a little dazed. It was several years later when he arrived in the provincial capital in his previous life. At that time, the train station had already been overhauled once. Naturally, the nearby buildings were quite different from what they are now. It was noon again, and the sun was overhead, and for a while He Lin couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north, and south.

He Lin didn't dare to ask the staff at the train station, because they might think he was lost with his parents, or something like running away from home, so he had to find the bus station by himself, raised his head, and went to the bus station. After carefully looking at the crude stop signs one by one, I finally found a bus going to the Provincial Town God's Temple.Naturally, there are shops selling antiques in the Town God’s Temple. He Lin also went there when he was shopping in his previous life. He also spent 20 yuan at a stall to buy some so-called ancient copper coins. Facts have proved that those ancient copper coins are fakes. He Lin didn't know where to throw it.

The bus at this moment is far less convenient than it will be more than ten years later, and it is not an unmanned ticket bus, which charges according to the distance. He Lin bought a ticket, found a seat and sat down, but he suddenly became nervous. The hope placed on this matter is relatively high, and I am also worried that I will be disappointed this time.

In a state of anxiety, when He Lin arrived at the Town God's Temple, He Lin got out of the car and heard shouts one after another. There were long street stalls on both sides of the street, selling everything. He Lin held his schoolbag and walked carefully from Passing through the middle of the street, my eyes scanned the shop signs on both sides, and finally chose a "Jubaoxuan", after a moment of hesitation, I walked in.

There are all kinds of things in Jubaoxuan, and the decoration is antique. When He Lin entered, there were only two people inside, who were sitting together appreciating a piece of inkstone. When He Lin came in, a middle-aged man wearing glasses A smile appeared on his face, and he asked, "Little friend, have you separated from your parents?"

He Lin shook his head and said, "I came here alone, do you accept ancient books here?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, but he still asked: "Is it accepted, but I have to discuss this matter with your adults!"

He Lin bit his lower lip and said, "My parents are gone, and my family has no money. When I was packing up, I found a few ancient books and wanted to sell them for some money so I can continue to study!"

The middle-aged man didn't say much, since he has seen a lot of people in their profession, he has never heard of any tragic stories, but since He Lin said so, he didn't say much, and asked: "The little friend, Take it out and let me see!"

He Lin took out the six ancient books together, and the middle-aged man stretched out his hand to take them. He didn't say anything when he read the cover, but after turning a page, his eyes suddenly widened.
