Chapter 15 Attic Fantasy(2/2)
Lin Jue didn't know why, so he went down temporarily, brought the books up, and checked them carefully upstairs.
There wasn't much stuff upstairs, just a bed with a coffee table in the middle.
There are some wooden bookshelves against the wall, but they are very empty. There are only a few common Buddhist scriptures on them. One of them has traces of being read. Not only can you turn to that page as soon as you open it,
And there is a bamboo leaf sandwiched in the middle as a bookmark.
Maybe there were some clutter originally, but someone cleaned them up and piled them all on the top of the bookshelf, out of sight.
If nothing else, it's clean and quiet.
"Now that it's here, let's make peace with it."
Lin Jue took out a few books from the bookcase and placed them on the wooden table in the middle of the couch. He also took out a knife, took two pieces of clothing to use as pillowcases and quilts, and placed them on the edge of the couch.
He even made some gestures.
The couch is about two or three feet wide, so it's definitely fine for one person to lie down on. Its design function is also to sleep on it.
It's just not that convenient to turn over.
But you can’t be picky, it’s better than being crowded into a room with a group of people down there, maybe sleeping on the floor or sitting against the wall.
So Lin Jue took the oil lamp and put it on the wooden table. He first looked around the room, flipping through a few books at random, and flipping through ancient wordless books in between.
Sure enough, no new page appeared.
Lin Jue fell into thinking.
It seems that it is indeed——
I had a strange feeling that something was wrong with this wordless ancient book, and there were signs of pages recording spells.
As for tonight...
Lin Jue thought back to his previous two times.
One time, he inhaled the smoke breathed by the monster, one time, the fire breathed by the old man burned his hair, and another time, he clearly saw the process of the old man absorbing the fire breath. Did he need his body to come into contact with a certain door?
Can the reaction of the ancient book be caused by a spell, or by seeing the general operation of the spell?
There are too few cases to be sure.
Lin Jue sat here thinking.
"..."
In fact, it is just a thought and has no meaning.
Lin Jue shook his head, put aside his thoughts, simply took out the package from the book, and counted it carefully.
When the younger generation goes out to study, the elders must be prepared to pay for it.
The aunt originally wanted to give Lin Jue all the twenty taels of silver he got from the Wang family in Hengcun, but her uncle was recovering from a long illness and the family also needed money. Naturally, Lin Jue couldn't take it. They pushed and argued for a long time before finally finally
I accepted a piece of silver stuffed by the aunt, which was about five taels, plus more than two hundred cash.
But he quietly put the piece of silver back.
Therefore, I actually only brought more than 200 coins.
There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in this world. Even in the village, there are prominent and wealthy families like the Wang family in Hengcun, and ordinary families like the Lin family who cannot afford medicine when they get sick.
When it comes to money specifically, most people don't earn much money throughout the year, and of course they don't use much money. But when you go out and really need to spend money, the money seems very insufficient.
What Lin Jue was thinking was that if he really couldn't do it, he would go to the city to perform the fire-breathing technique and earn some traveling expenses. In addition, it was early summer and the berries in the mountains were gradually ripening. He would spend more time looking for them, even if the mountains and rivers were exhausted.
It's easy to starve yourself, and if you suffer, you'll suffer.
If the family has more money, the uncle will be less stressed, and the cousin will be able to marry a wife earlier and live his own life.
You owe them what you owe, not what they owe you.
Therefore, Lin Jue was economical all the way.
Excluding expenses, there are just two hundred cash left. Tonight, after receiving a thank you gift from the short middle-aged man and giving him the sesame oil money for staying overnight, there are still four hundred and thirty-five cash left. The total is six hundred and thirty-five cash.
.
The sound of counting money all over the house late at night...
The whole room sighed again...
Lin Jue carefully divided them into seven parts and strung them together with seven ropes, each one worth 100 yuan and one with 35 yuan for easy access.
I have to say that money these days is so heavy that it really feels like ownership when you hold it in your hands.
Although it is only a few hundred words.
As for the mules and horses he got tonight, Lin Jue never thought about taking them to the market and selling them——
Even dogs know how to pay back, so how can he be inferior to a dog?
"well……"
The young scholar collected the money.
Outside the window are the lights of the temple, the mountain forest under the moon, the winding official road like a jade belt, and the wind blowing through the bamboo forest, blowing coolness.
Gradually, the lights of the temple dimmed.
The birds have stopped chirping, and apart from the wind and the chirping of insects, not even a single noise can be heard.
It is a familiar summer night.
At some point, Lin Jue looked out the window.
This is the world——
Without the moonlight, it would be pitch black here.
There aren't many interesting things to do.
Lin Jue gradually lay down. Perhaps because he encountered a monster on the way today, which was so exciting, he didn't feel sleepy at all. He could only open his eyes and let his thoughts wander.
If he had lived in the past, he would have probably liked such an environment, and would even sometimes leave the place where he lived to find such an environment. But when he really got here, as time went by, he naturally understood that the prosperous and dreamy world in his memory was the only place where he could live.
It is the result of progress.
Winters are so cold that your hands and feet tingle, summers are full of mosquitoes, you don't have enough to eat or wear well, and even princes and grandchildren may die if you get sick. Everything is inconvenient. Not many people can bear this kind of life.
Fortunately, there are also fairies and ghosts here, practicing magic, and countless interesting things.
This is a rare blessing.
I heard from Buddhism that there are thousands of worlds in the universe, but I don’t know where I came from and where I am?
I don't know when I can touch it.
Now that I can come, can I go back?
Legends and stories often talk about immortality. If we give this world thousands of years, we don’t know what it will be like.
Rather than seeking fame and fame, these are what he wants to pursue at this time.
Lin Jue had unlimited imagination in his mind.
I fell asleep unconsciously.
