Chapter 2868 No. 251, Shipo Road
The weather was not good the next day, and heavy rain fell on the streets of Shixing City.
This is an old neighborhood. Old neighborhoods do not mean dirty and messy at all. Although the old houses and small buildings are built with irregular stones, the walls and floors are very clean. Not a bit of trash in sight.
The heavy rain has reduced the number of pedestrians going out, and there are not many people visible on the narrow road. Next to the door of a restaurant specializing in broth, tall clay pots are piled up. This is the pottery diagonally across the street. The goods in the store were swaying in the wind and rain, and they were about to fall.
Down one side of the small slope, there is a small facade in the alley. A wooden wall lamp in the shape of an bayberry branch is nailed across the door, and a wooden sign swaying in the rain hangs under the lamp stand. , the words "Treasure Appreciation" and "Magic Goods for Sale" are written in elegant red fonts on the sign. Between the two lines above and below, there is also "The Imperial Master's Shop" written out, which has been crossed out again.
Bing Zhixie, who was wearing a wide-brimmed magic hat and a raincoat without an umbrella, knocked on the lighted glass window inside. After seeing the patterned glass, a figure approached the door and a girl asked: "Who is it?"
"Edwina Tong'en, you know me. An acquaintance." Bing Zhixie looked at the house number to make sure he was in the right place. Before he came here, he deliberately looked up the names of the Royal Court Master's brothers and sisters, because he couldn't remember the name of this girl he had met in Sindermore.
The older wooden door opened, and the person who opened the door was not the girl Bing Zhixie remembered, but a girl with violet hair and sky-blue eyes.
She recognized who the person in front of her was, and was a little surprised, and said: "Mr. Hero, are you looking for Tong En, is he her friend?"
"Yes."
"You didn't know she passed away?"
Bing Zhixie was stunned for a moment: "When did it happen?"
"It's been two years. She got sick and left." The girl said .
"Oh." Bingzhixie said with sadness: "Sorry, I don't know. Actually... I came to see Mr. Sudan. I know him. Is he there?"
"He is here, sleeping."
"Is it convenient to disturb you?"
The girl thought about it and let him into the room.
After entering the house, Bing Zhixie took off his raincoat and looked for where to hang it.
The girl took it and said, "Give it to me." She hung the raincoat and Bing Zhixie's magic hat on an inconspicuous clothes rack behind the wooden door. And led Bing Zhixie to a small wooden table: "Please sit down, I'll wake him up."
"Hey." Bing Zhixie raised his head and looked at the surrounding environment, and there was a burst of traffic and horses above his head. The sound of wooden wheels. This store is right below the road slope, and even the ceiling above the head is paved at an angle.
However, it looks low, and the space behind the floor-to-ceiling window opposite Bing Zhixie is quite large, but the place where guests are received is a bit low.
The store, or rather the room, seemed very cramped, with a large space but full of things. In front of the thick curtain, there are baskets of various sizes piled up, containing common utensils used by magicians. Behind and to the side of the floor-to-ceiling windows are very tall wall shelves, which are filled with bits and pieces. Even the openings in the wall windows are paved to look like counters, and there are many things on them that I don’t know where to put. The small objects that have been covered with dust for a long time are mostly jars and bottles.
The sound of footsteps going down the wooden stairs came from far ahead. It seemed that the house built under the slope was indeed very spacious. Edwina Sultan walked out while buttoning his green robe: "Come in and sit down." He only came out and poked his head, then walked back to the back room behind the floor-to-ceiling windows.
There are several four-sided sofas with torn leather, surrounding a coffee table in the middle filled with messy items.
"I didn't expect that the environment you live in is like this." Bing Zhixie found a place to sit down.
Sudan gestured to the purple-haired girl to make some hot tea, and then arranged the books and classics on the table: "I'm sorry, the house is a bit messy, don't worry about it. Oh, you should be used to drinking tea."
"Yeah."
After roughly packing up, Sudan sat diagonally across from Bing Zhixie and raised his lower hand to indicate Italian kitchen direction: "My roommate Roland."
Bing Zhixie: "Her clothes are very beautiful, and she is also very beautiful." Sudan smiled: "Thank you, she likes to wear black lace or lolita Ta Zhuang, her tea art is very good, you can try it later.”
Bing Zhixie suddenly felt that Sudan was no longer as calm and confident as before: "I just heard about your sister, and I'm very sad."
Sudan sighed softly: "It's all over."< br>
“Can I ask what’s going on?”
Sudan was silent for a long time, seeming to be lost in memories.
“If you don’t want to say it, don’t say it.”
Sudan rubbed his face vigorously and said: "She went to Dragon Burial Valley and contracted the disease. She lasted for a long time. She wanted to live, but... the doctor tried his best, I know."
Bing Zhixie wanted to ask something more, but she still couldn't bear to ask any more.
When the tea was brought, Roland gave Bing Zhixie a complaining look and went to the attic.
Sultan asked: "Come here to see me, can you help me?"
"I have a few things that I would like you to take a look at."
"I have to charge." Sudan said: "Treating my sister cost me most of my savings. During this time, I relied on my roommates and this shop."
"Understood."
Bing Zhixie took out the Dark Rank Deep Space Sphere and placed it on the soft cushion on the table.
The Sultan picked it up and observed it under the light, then opened the tool box placed on the sofa next to him, took out various instruments and tried them out.
Bing Zhixie drank the tea and felt that it was hot to her mouth. She was bored sitting there, so she asked, "Can I visit?"
"Whatever." Sultan had already focused on the treasure.
There are many books on the wall in the room. There are many books on the wall and there are piles on the floor. Bing Zhixie randomly picked up a few books and flipped through a few pages. They were all about various ethnic groups and people from all over the world. A record of the country's cultural evolution and treasures. The complexities involved range from astronomy to minerals, majors such as smelting, biology, satin craftsmanship..., and are as profound as the interference of different impurities in the magic stone on the magic Bose, and so on.
Bing Zhixie thinks that his reading volume and coverage are already very extensive, but compared with him, it is still far behind. He has never read many of the books here, and some of the contents are simply incomprehensible to him.
The Sultan put down his tools and magic ball and found that Bing Zhixie was not around, so he stood up and looked around, and found Bing Zhixie behind a heavy curtain: "Those are my very important collection of books. Damn it, don’t mess it up for me.”
Bing Zhixie walked out from behind the curtain and said, “There must be five thousand books on this book wall.”
"11,248 books, and there are 9,840 books next to it. I have more than 54,000 books here, and there are more books upstairs."
"Have you read them all?"
"Big I’ve read parts of it twice.” Said: "Don't read too much. In fact, some contents are overlapped and repeated. Some of them have been understood, and the following contents can be read quickly, ten lines at a glance."
