chance world

Ding Qiyu hurriedly caught the book that was thrown at him, turned it over and saw that the words "Ingenious Commentary" were neatly listed on the cover of the book, and the author was "Yan Huaike".Judging from the degree of wrinkle, this book has not been read much, but the whole book has turned yellow and old, and it is estimated that it has been here for some years.Ding Qiyu opened the book and flipped through it a few times. The handwriting inside was neat and clear, and there were detailed illustrations. He couldn't hide his excitement for a moment. He raised his head and thanked the old man: "I just wanted to find such a book, thank you senior!"

The old man seemed to be out of spirits, and the whole person was lazy. When he heard Ding Qiyu's words, the corners of his mouth curled up: "You look like that guy." He picked up the bookshelf just now, "There are still a few books on it, all written by him."

Ding Qiyu glanced at the direction of his finger, there were probably three or four books left, grasped the key words in the old man's words, turned his head and asked in doubt: "That guy?"

The old man withdrew his stride, raised his hand and touched the cover of the book in Ding Qiyu's hand: "This guy, Yan Huaike."

"Senior, do you know this Yanhuai guest?" Ding Qiyu's eyes lit up, maybe through this senior, he can directly find the current master of mechanism art!

The old man moved his eyes to the distance, and replied: "A long time ago, I knew it. Now, I don't know it anymore." After speaking, he raised his foot forward again.

Does that mean that the old man doesn't know the whereabouts of "Yan Huai Ke"?Even though he thought so, Ding Qiyu was unwilling to give up the clue, and followed him step by step: "Dare to ask this senior 'Yanhuaike', is he still alive?"

The old man walked to a desk by the window, bent down and picked up an unopened small wine jar on the desk, and sat on the window sill: "I don't know, I just heard that the last time this guy appeared was in Jiangnan." In the area, there was no news after that.”

"How long ago was that?" Ding Qiyu asked.

The old man turned his head to look out of the window, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "Ten years." After speaking, he opened the cover of the wine jar, and the aroma of the wine wafted out instantly.

"More than ten years ago...Jiangnan..." Ding Qiyu murmured, since he had no news more than ten years ago, it would not be easy to find him again.And she only heard merchants mention Jiangnan, which is a big city, when she was working as an inspector in Xingcheng, which should be far away from Xingcheng.

Ding Qiyu sighed silently, seeing that the old man was staring at the wine jar without drinking, his eyes were cloudy, he seemed to be lost in thought, and there was an aura of loneliness and loneliness around him, Ding Qiyu didn't intend to disturb any more, so he said goodbye Said: "Thank you senior today, junior farewell."

"Hey, young man, sit down and have a drink with me!" Seeing that Ding Qiyu was about to leave, the old man called out to stop her.

"Huh? Drinking?" Ding Qiyu was a little surprised. The old man actually asked him to drink with him?Recalling the night before the academy when I was so drunk, I honestly said, "I don't know how to drink."

"Young people don't know how to drink? Alcohol is a good thing. Drink it a few times. Come and have a drink with me, an old man." The old man came down from the edge of the window, knelt down in front of the table, and looked expectantly. Looking at Ding Qiyu.

Just now he said that he is not old, now he will call himself an old man again, Ding Qiyu was speechless, thinking of his loneliness just now, he couldn't bear to refuse, besides, if it wasn't for him today, he didn't know when he would find it, so he hesitated for a moment and sat opposite him : "Okay. The junior really doesn't know how to drink, the senior is merciful."

"Haha, okay, I'll just give you a little drink. If you want to drink more, I can't bear it." The old man picked up the jar and poured half a bowl into the bowl on the table, pushed it to Ding Qiyu, and raised his eyes and asked, "What's your name?" What?"

"Ding Qiyu, among them, Yu Yu." Ding Qiyu looked at the wine in the bowl, reckoning that he shouldn't be drunk at such a small amount, "Is the senior the manager of this building?"

The old man looked up from the jar and took a sip of wine: "I'm only on the seventh floor, and I'm very free. There's usually no one on this floor. You were the first to ask about Yanhuai's broken books."

Ding Qiyu took a sip from the bowl and tasted it, feeling that the taste of the wine seemed to be quite good: "I think this floor is full of stories about Jianghu and martial arts, and the Academy is a place that has nothing to do with Jianghu and Wulin, so it's normal that few people come to see it. "

"Oh, that's right. Don't care about the Jianghu affairs, and live a chivalrous life forever. Being alone as a sojourner, it's hard to see people from the old days..." The old man sighed, and took a big sip of wine in his mouth, feeling the vicissitudes of life and loneliness for a moment revealed again.

Listening to his emotion, Ding Qiyu also swallowed a sip of wine, the acrid and bitter taste exploded in her throat, she frowned and sighed: "'It's hard to see old people when I'm alone', it turns out that senior and I are both The end of the world is reduced to people."

"Huh? You were also a member of the Jianghu before?" The old man put down the wine jar and asked curiously.

Ding Qiyu shook his head: "No, what I left is not Jianghu, but my home, everything I used to be..." After a pause, he calmed down, "But that's all in the past."

"Haha, you can see clearly!" The old man raised the small wine jar to touch Ding Qiyu's bowl.

"I can't go back, what else can I do if I don't think so. Senior was a member of the Jianghu?" Ding Qiyu looked at the old man again. Could this senior be a hero back then?Could it be that he is the founder of the unique martial arts "Drunken Master"?

The old man didn't seem to want to recall the past: "Didn't you say that? The past is all over."

Ding Qiyu looked at his dejected look, wondering what he had experienced before, and chose to live in such a muddle-headed way: "The past is all over, and we should face the new life with a brand new self. You don't look like the past It's..."

"I'm old, what new life is there?" Seeing that Ding Qiyu still wanted to say something, the old man raised the jar again, "Stop talking about this, drink!"

Ding Qiyu didn't know what to say anymore, picked up the wine bowl and finished the wine in the bowl, put down the bowl in his hand, and looked at the sky outside the window.Before she could say anything, the old man smiled and said, "Drink it? Hehe, that's fine, let's go and do your work."

Ding Qiyu also felt that it was time to go back, so he saluted and said goodbye to the old man. When he returned to the bookshelf, he found that there were only four books about ingenuity written by Yan Huaike, and there were no other related classics.But Ding Qiyu was very satisfied to find these four books.I took down several books and browsed them, and decided to start reading from the most detailed "On Ingenuity", put back the other three books, took "On Ingenuity" to the stairs, and couldn't help but glance back The old man over there, who was still drinking, thought about it and decided to say: "Senior, 'Mo Dao Sang Yuwan, the sky is full of clouds'." After speaking, he went downstairs.

When he went down to the second floor, Ding Qiyu accidentally saw a familiar figure, that Miss Yun Yiyun was standing in front of a bookshelf flipping through a book, there was no figure of her little maid beside her, and she looked peaceful And leisurely.Ding Qiyu couldn't help raising the corners of his lips, not planning to disturb her, and was about to go downstairs when Yun Yi raised his head and looked this way as if feeling something, his eyes met Ding Qiyu's.

Everyone saw him, and it would be bad if he didn't say hello. Ding Qiyu took back his steps and walked towards her, while greeting her softly: "Miss Yun, what a coincidence, you also come here to read?"

Yun Yi didn't expect to meet Ding Qiyu here at all, she was a little pleasantly surprised, and seeing Young Master Ding greeted herself, he smiled nervously as if flattered, nodded quickly and replied: "Well, I didn't expect to meet him here. Mr. Ding." Mr. Ding, who had come up to him, seemed to have a faint scent of wine, did he drink alcohol?

"Haha, I'm here to look for books too. What are you reading?" Ding Qiyu pointed to the book in her arms and asked curiously.

But this question startled her, she hurriedly hid the book in her hand behind her back, lowered her head and said: "One, some idle books..."

Seeing her expression of being caught by the head teacher for reading a novel in class, Ding Qiyu felt amused, thinking to himself that this girl is not reading some explosive content, is she?Curiosity grew stronger, and she glanced sideways at the bookshelf next to her. They were all books on state governance strategies, strategies for the people, etc... Suddenly, she understood the reason for her actions, and reached out to pull out a copy of "National Theory", intentionally Jokingly said: "Is this kind of book also called idle book? Miss Yun's realm is really far beyond her reach."

Yun Yi hurriedly raised her head and explained: "No, no, it's not, I, I'm just looking at it casually!" After saying that, she lowered her head again, and she held the book hidden behind her chest in front of her chest. Now I see that it is a book of "Policy for the People".

Sure enough... Ding Qiyu sighed secretly, seeing her cautious appearance, couldn't help but asked: "Miss Yun, do you feel ashamed that I found you reading such a book?" Although it was a question, he used an affirmative tone .

Yun Yi was silent for a long time, then murmured: "Isn't it... a woman like me, such a woman, reads these books..." A woman like herself who grew up in a dark corner is destined to be Isn't it ridiculous that a woman who has been reduced to a tool for political power struggles reads about public policy and state theory...

"What about women? No one stipulates that this book can only be read by men, and no one stipulates that this country can only be governed by men!" Ding Qiyu shook his head to express his disapproval of her statement, "A woman like you? I haven't known Miss for a long time. I don’t know much about what kind of person Miss Yun is, but I see you calm and gentle. In fact, you don’t have to care so much about what others think, let alone be too humble and careful, live a more self-contained and comfortable life. "

Seeing that Yun Yi hadn't spoken to him for a long time, Ding Qiyu just looked at him fixedly, and there seemed to be a flash of water in his eyes. While putting the "National Theory" in his hand back to its original position, he said with a smile on his face and sighed: " I can't understand this profound way of governing the country. There is something I don't understand in the National Conditions and Laws class, can I come and ask Miss Yun for advice?"

Looking back, I saw Yun Yi nodded slightly with her lowered head, which seemed to be an answer to Ding Qiyu's joke.Ding Qiyu had no choice but to bid farewell and leave, hoping that his words could somewhat encourage this girl who felt inferior to her bones.

Back at the residence, Ding Qiyu sat at the small wooden table and flipped through the borrowed books.Her face was hot, which made her a little restless. This body is also the same as before when she gets drunk on her face. She really deserves to be herself in another world...
