Chapter 6 Buying Books

As for when the government office comes and finds that this place has become a ruin, it has nothing to do with them.

…

Sheng County is a remote small county in Jingyun Road of the Great Chu State.

The Great Chu State has a very simple geographical division, which is divided into four Jingzhou Prefecture Roads, with areas ranging from large to small.

And in the roads, there are many small counties.

Although Sheng County is a remote small county, it is small but complete.

It has everything you need, and you can even find a place for entertainment here.

At this moment, a group of people just came out of the gate of the county government office of Sheng County.

Xu Bai walked in front, followed by a team of escorts.

As he expected, the county magistrate only asked a few questions and then hastily dealt with it.

Xu Bai is used to this.

These days, some people are in charge of things, and some people are not.

The county magistrate of Sheng County is in between the two.

It can be said that he does not care about things, but he does care about them. For example, the county government has sent people to encircle and suppress the Menghuzhai many times.

It's not entirely true that he is in charge. If you really want to destroy the Tiger Village, you can just surround the mountain, but the county magistrate of Sheng County didn't do that.

Xu Bai didn't know the reason, but he knew that he got away with it this time.

Walking on the street, Xu Bai was curious about everything.

Memories in the mind are memories, but seeing them with your own eyes is different.

It's like watching a movie, compared with being on the stage in person, the two are incomparable.

There are hawkers on both sides of the street, and the noise is overwhelming.

Although Sheng County is small, it is still lively.

Walking on the street, Xu Bai's curiosity became stronger and stronger, and he looked left and right from time to time.

The key is that there are a group of escorts following him, and he is walking in the front, making him look like a rich young master with evil slaves, and people around him stay away from him.

"Brother Xu, where are we going?" One of the escorts finally couldn't help it and asked.

They just wandered around like this, and they didn't know when it would end.

The key is that no one dares to say it. After all, the figure holding the knife in the Tiger Village is too deep, and it is still frightening to think about it now.

So many lives, gone just like that, all done by this person, do you think you are afraid?

Xu Bai held the handle of the ghost-head knife, looked at this middle-aged man, and touched his face: "Am I old?"

This was a completely subconscious question, but the middle-aged escort was sweating coldly.

"No, no, Brother Xu, I mean... yes..."

The middle-aged escort talked for a long time, but there was no result.

How could he have thought that this evil spirit would ask such a question? He really couldn't answer it.

The knife seemed to be very fast, would it directly cut his neck?

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he was, and the more cold sweat he had.

"I'm not going back." Xu Bai said abruptly.

"Ah?" The middle-aged escort was stunned.

"The chief escort is gone, and the escort agency has suffered heavy losses. I don't want to do it anymore." Xu Bai said.

He really didn't want to do it anymore.

Now that he has the golden finger, the more than ten ingots of silver are enough to spend for a while, so he doesn't plan to be distracted for the time being.

And the reason is also very good. Because of this time, he is afraid, so he quits this business.

"Then... Brother Xu, let's go back?" The middle-aged bodyguard asked bravely.

"Go back. By the way, remember that you are all people who have received money. If you break the rules of this business, you can't tell anyone." Xu Bai meant something.

The escorts nodded quickly.

They all understood that it was like a person who couldn't swim got on the boat, and the boat was rowed to the middle of the sea, and it was impossible to return.

Xu Bai waved his hand and asked the group of escorts to leave quickly, and he continued to walk on the street.

It is worth mentioning that the martial arts of the Great Chu State are fierce. Even if he carried a ghost-head knife, the people around him did not show surprise.

At most, they looked at him twice more, that's all.

Xu Bai even ran into a few people with long spears, which were very conspicuous on their shoulders, and the people around him didn't take it seriously.

It is normal for a person who travels the world to carry a knife.

After walking for a while, Xu Bai stopped at a place.

——Money shop.

He originally wanted to walk around, but when he passed by the money shop, he remembered that there were still more than a dozen silver ingots in his bag, so he thought about exchanging them for small change at the money shop, so that he could use them later.

It should be said that the county government was really water. They didn't even look at their bags. When they heard that it was related to the Tiger Village, they asked a few questions casually and left it hastily.

Of course, they had hidden the silver before entering the county government, and only took it back after coming out.

At this moment, there were not many people in the money shop, only the shopkeeper was at the counter.

But before that, Xu Bai was not in a hurry to go in. He first found a remote corner, took out a silver ingot, and chopped it into small pieces with a ghost head knife, and then took the loose silver to the money shop.

Most of the small silver in the Great Chu State came from this way. Ordinary people cut it with scissors themselves, but Xu Bai chopped it directly.

There is a difference between official silver and private silver. The wooden box contains private silver, and Xu Bai feels at ease using it.

After entering the bank, he exchanged a small bag of copper coins for a while, and put the remaining silver into another bag.

After doing all this, Xu Bai was not in a hurry to leave.

"Shopkeeper, do you know where there is a place to sell books in Sheng County?" Xu Bai took out a silver coin and put it in the shopkeeper's hand.

The shopkeeper was originally keeping accounts. Hearing this, he weighed the silver in his hand and his eyes lit up: "West of the county, you can see a bookstore if you follow this road."

Xu Bai nodded, said thank you, and left the bank.

He didn't just wander around all the way, but kept his eyes wide open, looking around to see if there was anything like a progress bar.

Unfortunately, no strange image similar to the Tiger Village was found.

If the golden finger is not triggered, then create the conditions yourself.

Xu Bai thought, since it is enlightenment, then reading books should be useful, so he asked the location of the bookstore in the bank just now.

Most of the bookstores in the Great Chu Kingdom do not sell books.

Most of the books sold here are other things, and books have become a by-product.

When Xu Bai found it along the road, he saw that the entrance of the bookstore was a little deserted.

Although it was deserted, there were still a few customers, but none of them were buying books.

After Xu Bai walked in, he went straight to the bookshelf and started flipping through the books on it.

The owner of the bookstore didn't ask much, and was still greeting the customers.

Xu Bai flipped through the books while walking.

"I don't have this one."

"I don't have this one either."

He kept flipping through the books, and put them back if he didn't see the progress bar.

From the far left of the bookshelf to the far right.

When Xu Bai flipped to the last book, he stopped.

There was a light golden progress bar on the book.

"I got it!" Xu Bai was delighted, and before he even looked at the title of the book, he took the book to the counter of the bookstore.

"Boss, how much?"

The owner of the bookstore was originally greeting customers. After hearing Xu Bai's voice, he looked at the books on the counter with a puzzled look on his face.

It's rare to buy books, but there are always a few scholars.

If Xu Baiguang was just buying books, he wouldn't mind.

But the title of this book...

The bookstore owner felt the need to confirm it again.

"Sir, are you sure you want this book?"
