Chapter 8:

at dusk.
In the alley, there are more than a dozen fragmented book stands.
Some are a rag spread to the ground, and a sheet of plastic paper is placed on the book.
Some are mobile carts, which are full of various pirated books, pirated tapes, CDs, etc., and small radios can be seen.
It is not dark now, and there are already guests like Lin Sheng and Shen Yan hanging out in the alley. The number is not large, but the popularity is quite enough.
Many guests lingered, and some squatted directly in front of a book stand to read books.
There is a single light source above the alley, a high-power bulb with no lampshade. It is estimated that there are one hundred watts, and the whole alley below is illuminated brightly.
Shen Yan mixed with the sparse flow of people, happily rushed to the first book stall to glance.
She is very experienced. In order to hide on the book stand, she often does not put Xiao Huangshu in the most prominent position.
But she is the fastest way to lock the hidden points of these small books.
Lin Sheng ignored her and slowly glanced at the large dictionary on the stand alone.
Only halfway through his first book stall, Shen Yan had already run to the third stall.
Lin Sheng was not in a hurry, glanced over again, and found no dictionary of ancient Rennes. He moved to the second stall again.
He remembers that the stall here should also be available. Although various translation dictionaries are pirated, they can definitely save a lot of money.
The stalls were swept over, and soon, on the fourth stall, one in front of the bookseller on the ground, Lin Sheng found a dictionary of ancient Rennes.
"How to sell this?" Lin Sheng knelt down and asked a dictionary from a pile of messy old books.
"Fifteen, don't bargain." The stall owner wears square glasses and a gray cloth mask, and it looks like he doesn't want people to know his face.
"You don't know the word very well, it doesn't work. I'll get one for five yuan." Lin Sheng bargained.
"I can't get five yuan. At least ten yuan. The younger brother seems to come often, and we should know our market." The stall owner quickly said.
"Ten yuan ....." Lin Sheng shook his head and stood up to leave.
"Let ’s go, five is five." The stall owner decided decisively.
"Here." Lin Sheng quickly found the change from his pocket, counted five and handed it to the other.
Given the money, he picked up the book and turned it over.
The dictionary has clear handwriting and good reprints, about the thickness of a slab.
For such pirated books, the general price is at least twenty, after all, the genuine ones are forty.
The reason why it can be so cheap is mainly because the book is too unpopular, and the ancient dictionary of Gulene requires very few.
There are only one of the hundreds of books in the stall.
And the key point is that there is a lot of wear and tear on the corners of this dictionary, and the whole book is loose and abnormal, and it seems to fall apart at any time.
"No matter what else, as long as it works."
As soon as Lin Sheng wanted to record the word, he couldn't wait to go back to translate it. Five dollars is his pocket money for more than a day, a little savings. Although it hurts a little bit, but if I go back and sew it by hand, this book may still appreciate.
Soon Shen Yan also mysteriously brought a bag of books and approached.
"How?" She whispered.
"I bought the dictionary." Lin Sheng lifted the book in his hand. The red-skinned dictionary contrasts with the small yellow book in Shen Yan's bag.
"You are ..." Shen Yan stared at Lin Sheng with a twisted face. It's like meeting him for the first time.
"Nothing to go back to rest." Lin Sheng calmly said.
"Pretend to look!" Shen Yan pouted. But she also knows Lin Sheng's temper, this guy has always been like this. This is one of the reasons why she likes Larin Sheng to come out for cover.
"Okay, I picked three books here, we averaged four, one for four and three for twelve. You can give me six." Shen Yan whispered.
"No money." Lin Sheng was speechless. In the past, he was willing to buy it, which was used to rent it to others and earn a little money.
After all, in the school, most students are unwilling to spend several dollars to buy books, and these books are just good to look at. I really want to buy them myself.
So willing to spend a few cents on rent is the best way. You don't have to collect books yourself, and you spend less. And the content of the small book is also small, and I get tired of reading it a few times. You can also look at others.
The reason why Shen Yan pulls Lin Sheng is also because she is a girl and it is not easy for her to rent to others. So I want Lin Sheng as the lessor.
"If you don't pay, then this time rent out ..." Shen Yan tangled.
"You can rent it to girls." Lin Sheng calmly said.
"....... How can girls earn money from boys!" Shen Yan was a little crazy. Lin Sheng had cooperated before, but now how suddenly he changed his mind.
"You can resell. I have something lately and I have no time to get this." Lin Sheng really didn't want to continue to rent books.
If the normal books are okay, and you can rent the small yellow books, that's too bad.
"How many pieces a day, don't you really do it?" Shen Yan was speechless.
"I don't want to mess it up." Lin Sheng shook his head. "You have a girl's house, it's not good to do this, don't do it for the time being. The reputation is not good."
"Isn't this what you are blocking." Shen Yan reluctantly.
"I can help you and transfer the book to Yao Daiyu." Lin Sheng said.
Yao Daiyu is a student who is also renting a book in a foreign class. The small book also collects it. He bought it like this and sent it to him. He is definitely willing to save it and choose to run by himself.
"Okay ..." Shen Yan was still unwilling.
Seeing her like this, Lin Sheng knew that this guy was unwilling and would not listen to himself.
But even as a friend, he has said enough. How to decide is her business.
The two separated at the book stalls and alleys, each returning to their own homes.
Lin Sheng returned home, his parents left a note, and went to the hospital to take care of his grandfather.
Only two plates of cold dishes were placed on the kitchen table.
A plate of scrambled eggs with cucumber and a plate of shredded pork with red pepper.
Lin Sheng warmed up the hot rice, and just ate this cold dish quickly. Then he happily hugged the dictionary into the bedroom, and began to study the text memorized in the dream.
His bedroom is both a place to sleep and a study room for homework.
In the evening, the darker the night.
Lin Sheng turned on the desk lamp, and the pale yellow light, one word by one word, looked up the phrase of the ancient Rennes script.
About half an hour later.
"Interesting!" Combining the basic grammar recorded in the dictionary, Lin Sheng quickly translated the two words on the cover.
"It's really the standard Gulene text! It's clear that I have never encountered this language family before, and except for a little arc style, these two words are not wrong!"
Lin Sheng stared closely at the two phrases in front of him, and for a moment did not know how to describe them.
Obviously just what appeared in his dream ...
"Well, these two words, translated ... the general idea should be ..."
Alas, he slowly under the phrase, writing translations one by one into the dictionary.
‘Sharp weapon, sword, method, notes, notes’
"Eh? Linked up ... Could it be ... sword swordsmanship ?!" Lin Sheng's expression looked suddenly, and he suddenly reacted.
Gurion is a translation of a single word. The basic syntax is not complicated. Often a single letter may have several meanings.
But the significance of being connected together is to make Lin Sheng look at this moment.
