Chapter 1389 There is a demonic spirit

The middle-aged man hesitated for a long time, but when he thought of the scene in his memory, he decided to keep the store.

Maybe when he retires, he can reopen this bookstore.

This way, the old man’s spirit in heaven will be happier, right?

He had also thought about keeping the books and allowing the person who rented the store to continue running it.

But it’s hard to find someone who happens to want to open a bookstore.

And they also want the other party to accept so many old books.

After searching for a while, he gave up the plan.

He will first dispose of the books himself, and then it is up to the person who rents the store to do what he wants with the store.

He once encouraged his entire family, including his younger brothers and sisters, to go to the bookstore and look around, and if there were books they liked, they would keep them.

As a result, it was these older people who picked out a few books.

They are all books in their memory.

They had forgotten that they had read these books before, but when they saw the titles and covers they remembered them again.

After all, it was a favorite book of their childhood, so they kept it as a souvenir.

But the younger generations didn't find any books they liked.

Everyone dislikes that the books in bookstores are too old.

Moreover, many of them are ancient books.

They were overwhelmed by reading the entire article in classical Chinese.

The few comic books that are available are those that were popular in the last century.

They took a quick look around the bookstore and lost interest.

In fact, they had been to this bookstore before.

I also know what this bookstore is like.

But after all, the bookstore was about to close, so they decided to take one last look.

But as expected, there was no gain.

"It's badly infested."

The middle-aged man's fingers gently stroked the pages of the book. It was because their family neglected this bookstore after the old man was hospitalized.

Books are really fragile things.

Just like people.

I thought nothing would happen, after all, everything was fine before. But one negligence made it impossible to save the situation.

He looked up and smiled shyly at the boy, "Why don't you read another book?"

"Or should I give you a better deal?"

"It's eaten-"

The middle-aged man was flipping through the book in front of him when his voice suddenly stopped.

He smiled bitterly, "Forget it, this book is no longer useful."

Almost half of the pages were worm-eaten.

If only one or two were damaged, he could sell them to the young man in front of him at a lower price.

But the book is in such a state now, how can we read it?
It can't even be used as scratch paper.

What's the use of buying it?

"Student, please read other books."

“But I just want these two books.”

The boy's face was full of regret and unwillingness. "I looked in many bookstores but couldn't find it."

“I didn’t expect this bookstore would have it?!”

He was so happy when he saw these two books.

As a result, when he couldn't wait to open the book and read it, it was simply "extreme joy leads to sorrow. Heaven turns to hell"

The boy murmured.

He searched the nearby bookcases, but only found these two books.

He was disappointed.

Although he knew it was impossible, he still couldn't help but ask, "Are these the only two books on the bookshelf?"

"No other stock?"

The middle-aged man shook his head. "The store is about to close, how can it have any inventory?"

“All the books are here.”

"If it's not there, it's not there."

"Oh."

The boy's voice dropped, and then he perked up a bit, "Then I'll look for it again."

"Boss, I'll leave these two books with you first. I might need them again."

"Oh, such a tattered book..."

The middle-aged man was a little surprised. "It's better than nothing."

The boy muttered.

".Okay, I know."

The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled and nodded, "I'll take care of it for you."

Anyway, these two books are not expensive, so if students like them, they can buy them.

He should also stop saying things that he thinks are for the good of others but actually make them unhappy.

Watching the young man's figure disappear behind the bookshelf, he felt a little emotional.

This is a child who loves books.

If the old man were still alive, he would be very happy to meet such a child.

The old man is also a book lover.

As a result, the old man was hospitalized for a week because his beloved book was eaten by insects.

A week after the old man passed away, his beloved books were sold at a low price.

Thinking about it this way, the middle-aged man smiled bitterly. They, as children, are really unfilial.

However, even knowing this, books still need to be sold and bookstores still need to be rented out.

Their family can't afford to run a bookstore that doesn't make ends meet.

No one has the time or energy to run this bookstore.

This is the reality and there is nothing they can do about it.

Hearing the conversation between the young man and the owner, other customers also picked up a book and looked through it, and some exclaimed.

The books in their hands also had signs of being eaten by insects.

The guests looked at each other.

They both heard the noise made by each other.

They picked up a few more books and looked through them.

No book was spared.

Someone immediately shook his head regretfully, put back the book in his hand, turned around and left the bookstore.

Although he came in because of the slogan "books are sold by weight", if he didn't have some love for books, he wouldn't be attracted by this slogan.

He looked at the books on the bookshelf with a mentality similar to that of shopping on Taobao.

He came here to buy books, not to collect junk.

What's the point of buying a book like this, even if it's cheap?
Soon, Xiao Xiao and the boy were the only ones left in the store.

The young man looked through each book carefully without giving up, thinking that maybe he could find another similar book.

Looking at the guests who left one after another, the middle-aged man smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He thought that the books in this store could sell for some money.

did not expect.
Let's see how the situation develops.

If all else fails, these books can only be sold to junk collectors.

At that time, these books were really sold by weight.

found it.

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved slightly.

He heard the conversation between the boy and the boss, and also noticed other customers leaving one after another.

However, he didn't care and was only focused on finding the chess record that Grandpa Xiao wanted.

What if the chess record is not eaten by insects?
Before doing anything, you have to wait until you find the chess record.

Xiao Xiao took out the chess manual from the bookshelf.

Soon, a look of regret appeared on his face.

This chess manual was also eaten by insects.

And it's not just a little bit eaten away.

More than half the pages, most of the paper, had been eaten by insects.

This is not at all noticeable.

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly and was about to close the chess book in his hand.

"hiss~"

The white snake poked its head out.

"Master Xiao Xiao, there is evil spirit on it."

Xiao Xiao paused.

He did not doubt White Snake's words.

Since the White Snake said there was an evil spirit, then of course there was an evil spirit.

He brought the page closer to his nose.
