Hidden Words

"Alright, let's go." Lin Ye nodded, and led a few people out of the Internet cafe and went straight to the next door. Gu Kai also responded to the call and got out from the counter to follow the team.

"Boss, hello! We are here to help." Lin Ye greeted Ji A with a smile.

"Hi, boss!" The people behind also greeted one after another, looking around, all candles reflected the dim yellow light.

"Thank you so much, can you put all these books on the shelf for me?" Ji Ah responded with a smile.

"Okay." Several people responded, and started to work one after another, arranging the books according to the serial numbers marked on the pile.

Twenty minutes passed, and several people probably had neatly arranged Ji A's pile of books with serial numbers, and started wandering around on their own.

This bookstore is neither big nor small, it looks like it has opened up three front rooms.The rows of bookshelves inside are all carved and wooden, and the rows and rows are neatly and orderly, elegant and generous. The faint woody fragrance lingers in it, and the candlelight shines on it, which is very interesting.

The books that I moved just now are almost all in the ancient style of soft cover and soft paper, which makes people afraid that they will be scratched with a little force.

Gu Kai picked up a slightly newer book and flipped through it casually, but soon gave up.Because of the words on it, he couldn't understand them at all.

"What kind of book is this? I can't understand it at all." Gu Kai whispered.

"Let me take a look." Xu Wenxiu leaned over, flipped through two pages and came to a conclusion, "I don't understand."

"It's written by Qin Xiaozhuan, it's normal for you to not understand." The bookstore owner said lightly with a smile, and the two found the steps in an instant.

The characters written more than 2000 years ago, the new generation who have learned simplified Chinese, how can they understand it if they have not learned it deliberately.

"Is this the same?" Xu Wenxiu also picked up a copy and opened it to read.

"That's Zhenwen, that is, Qin Dazhuan and Qin Xiaozhuan, which were commonly used in Qin State before Qin Xiaozhuan." Ji A replied.

"What is this writing about? This book must be old, right?" Gu Kai casually flipped through a few pages.

"It's just written by hand. It's been many years." Ji A replied again, and after a few glances, she realized that this was an essay she wrote before, and it should be a diary according to the current words.Looking at the year, it has been 100 years.

"Is this written by the boss? It's amazing!" Xu Wenxiu put down the book in his hand and admired it.It's better not to mess around with what other people wrote, although he can't understand it either.

"Why don't you turn on the lights?"

The flashing lights, along with a voice, caused extremely dazzling damage to everyone's eyeballs.

"...This is..." A handsome boy stood at the door, seeing several people blocking or rubbing with their hands one after another, he was puzzled and embarrassed at the same time.

"Sorry, I thought..."

"It's okay, it's okay, we are here to help from the Internet cafe next door, are you?" Lin Ye first came to his senses and came forward to say hello.

"I'm the clerk here, Zhou Yuzhi. Hello." The handsome boy also greeted everyone.

"Oh, the one with electric lights? I forgot." Ji A also came over and said.

"Boss, when did you remember?" Zhou Yuzhi seemed to sigh, and walked over to blow out the two nearest candles.

"It turns out that there is electricity. We thought that the circuit you are repairing here is temporarily unusable." Lin Ye sneered and explained the fact that there was electricity here, and leaned over to blow out the nearest candle. The ones below were also wiped out by several people.

"By the way, thank you for your help. In return, I would like to invite you to choose a book or something you like to take away, is that okay?" Ji A said with a smile.

"Isn't that bad?" Lin Jie and Lin Ye whispered.How much help did you come here to take other people's things?

"We haven't been here for a long time, and we haven't been of much help. How can we get the boss's things?" Lin Ye replied with a smile, and couldn't help thinking that this person is really strange.

In this day and age, there are still people who ask someone to take their things?Although they did help, it's still not good to replace a few old or even antique books with such a little help!

"This is a reward. You have also seen it. The most important thing I lack here is books. If you have any favorites, please ask." Ji A still smiled.

Lin Ye just wanted to follow Ji A's words and decline the matter politely, but in the blink of an eye, he saw that Xu Wenxiu had already picked up a book and looked at it carefully, and Gu Kai was also pulling out a few pages from a book with great interest. Looking at it, only Lin Jie was obediently beside her and didn't touch anything.

Lin Jie was her younger brother, so she could take care of her, but it was hard for her to talk about the other two, let alone one of them was Gu Kai, whom she had worshiped for a long time.

"It seems that these two have already been chosen." Ji A's eyes fell on Xu Wenxiu and Gu Kai.

"Well, the writing in this book is beautiful." Xu Wenxiu nodded and said.Lin Ye was speechless, is this the time to make a choice based on whether the words look good or not?

"Boss, what is this?" Gu Kai asked with a torn page drawn out of the book.

"It's a handwritten letter from a friend of mine, and it hasn't been bound yet." Ji Ah replied with a smile.Behind him, Zhou Yuzhi secretly said, this is because the binding has not been done yet, the original binding is broken!It breaks as many times as it is bound.

Seeing that the brothers and sisters of the Lin family hadn't moved yet, Ji A glanced around, went to the counter and took a Chinese knot with hanging tassels, handed it back to Lin Ye, and asked, "Do you think this long knot is beautiful?"

"Beautiful." Lin Ye replied, his gaze involuntarily turned around the object in Ji A's hand.

Long knot?She has only heard of Chinese knots. This should be a kind of Chinese knot, right?The tightly woven long knot of red rope and the hanging tassel below, such an ordinary match is not as vulgar as the gadgets that are often sold outside, but has a strong sense of solemnity and history.Maybe this is the real Chinese knot!Lin Ye thought silently.

"Then I'll give it to you." Ji A smiled.

"what?"

"Any questions?"

"No, no." Lin Ye smiled and took the long knot.I can't help but wonder in my heart, is this boss giving gifts so casually?But this gift-giving method is really superb.

"The long knot in the folk symbolizes the highest state of unity of heart and matter, no beginning and no end, and eternal immortality, and represents the auspiciousness of the avenue. Of course, these are all fabricated by people. The length of the long knot is originally long and short. But there is also a saying that liver and intestines, Panchang, means lovesickness, I think you should like it." Ji A explained.

"So that's how it is." Lin Ye held the long knot with some emotion.Only then did she realize that they didn't give it away casually, and she wouldn't be able to say such a bunch of words even if she was killed!Really, the thoughts of people who are educated and can say anything are turbulent.

"This one seems to have been chosen." After Ji A finished speaking, her eyes turned to Lin Jie who was behind Lin Ye.

"En." Lin Jie nodded, holding a book in his hand.

Unlike Xu Wenxiu's very old book, and Gu Kai's one with broken pages mixed in, what Lin Jie chose was just an ordinary novel in an obviously modern style.Zhou Yuzhi on the side saw that the three had chosen, and handed paper bags to each of them.

"It's getting late, and we won't bother the boss anymore. If you need anything, you can find us next door, thank you for the boss's things!" Lin Ye was the first one to react, and he greeted and prepared to leave, and the rest of them took it away The things I picked, also said goodbye one after another.

"Okay, welcome to be our guest anytime, goodbye." Ji A and Zhou Yuzhi responded with a smile.

After a few people left, Zhou Yuzhi complained to Ji A while his subordinates were packing up, "Boss, you don't light mermaid candles like you. It's the Internet age now, so don't light this candle unless the power is cut off." .”

It's a waste to light candles all day long!If things go on like this, even the ever-bright mermaid candle will burn out sometime, right?Not to mention that such a circle of ancient books and wooden shelves are all fire hazards!

"I remember." Ji A smiled wryly.She really hasn't gotten used to electric lights or anything like that.

"How many of the things you sent out this time can you get back?" Zhou Yuzhi asked again.

"Let it be." Ji A brushed her fingers over a row of ancient books on the bookshelf, and replied softly.

Back at the Internet cafe, Lin Ye and the others let out a long breath as if they were relieved.

"You guys, do you feel that something is wrong next door?" Lin Jie asked.

"Yes." Lin Ye agreed with Gu Kai.

"What's wrong?" Ye Lin asked.

"I don't need electricity, just light candles. The midnight bell?" Xu Wenxiu pretended to be terrified.

"Fuck you, most of the books in the owner's bookstore next door are old, and many of them are incomprehensible, like ancient characters." Lin Ye told Ye Lin that she had read a few books just now.

"In a civilized society, you can forget to turn on the lights, and the clothes are so thin and there is no heating in the store. Who is this?" Lin Jie asked.

Ye Lin smiled and said nothing. She was at the counter just now, so she didn't go there.

"I'm going to the smoking area." Xu Wenxiu said, putting the paper bag in his hand on the counter.

"I'll go too." Gu Kai said, also throwing his own paper bag to the place where Xu Wenxiu put it just now.

"I'll... go there too." Lin Jie looked at Lin Ye bitterly, and finally put down the things in his hands and ran over with Xu Wenxiu and the two of them.

"Download the copy." Xu Wenxiu put on the earphones.

"Play in the arena." Gu Kai also put on his earphones.

"..." Lin Jie remained silent.

"Copy." Xu Wenxiu emphasized.

"Arena." Gu Kai also emphasized.

"..." Lin Jie.

"Everyone plays their own way," Xu Wenxiu said.

"Arena." Gu Kai said.

"You are annoying." Xu Wenxiu disliked it.Lin Jie was speechless. This is Gu Kai, but he was rejected?

"26385, come here quickly." Gu Kai ignored Xu Wenxiu's refusal.

"Why don't you come? Nima!" Looking at Xu Wenxiu's screen, Gu Kai still couldn't help swearing.This guy took his words as a deaf ear in a dungeon!

"No, this." Gu Kai simply took off his earphones and lay down in front of Xu Wenxiu's screen.

"Your head is up to block my screen." Xu Wenxiu asked Shura to block the next attack, jumped back again to widen the distance, and then stretched out his hand to remove Gu Kai's head.

"This is still a dungeon of Cage Land? You want to upgrade to play in the arena, what is the effort in the dungeon?" Gu Kai turned his gaze back to his own screen.
