Chapter 52. One Foot Three Provinces

Instead of driving directly to the urban area of ​​Xichuan County, Cao Yidao turned on a steering wheel and drove towards Bailang Street in Zijingguan Town.

Bailang Street is surrounded by mountains and water, and is named after it is close to the Bailang River, which originates in the south of the town. In the center of Bailang Street, there is a triangular stone exposed on the ground, facing west, southeast, and northeast. There is a canal water passing through the middle of the street, which is known as the "Sansheng River". Since ancient times, the center of the triangular stone has been used as the starting point, and the west side is used as the Qin management; the southeast side is used as the Hubei management; the northeast side is used as the Yu management. The magical triangular stone in the center of the street is called "Three Provinces". Here, the chicken crows and listens to the three provinces, and the dog barks and three provinces, which is the famous "one foot and three provinces".

However, when Cao Yidao pressed the steering wheel and headed towards Bailang Street, Teacher Huang, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and a trace of splendor flashed. Others didn't know it, but he knew very well that there was an alias in this place where "one step on three sentences" in ancient times, called "Three Non-Control", as the name suggests, it was very messy.

...

After a long journey, Cao Yidao parked his car near the Shanxi Association Hall on the west side of the street. It was almost noon, and an old sun was white on his head. Cao Yidao came down in big breeches. Seeing that the hot sun above his head was so hot, he took off his bodybuilding vest and twisted it with his hand, and actually made a lot of sweat.

Although Lin Yi was not as exaggerated as him, he felt sweaty. His blue shirt was tightly pressed against his back, and even his underwear felt sticky and uncomfortable.

Teacher Huang seemed to have been used to the hot weather. Even though the steam was rippling on his body, he still looked lukewarm and serious. Seeing him, Lin Yi and Cao Yidao's hearts would be "cold", as if a cold current blew by, mainly because this person was too cold.

Lin Yi saw a side dish not far away, so he went to buy some mineral water. Here, Cao Yidao called the boss who bought scriptures and told the other party that the person had arrived.

Lin Yi handed him and coach Huang the frozen mineral water he bought. Cao Yidao didn't have time to take a sip and said to Lin Yi, "That big guy asked us to go to the nearby inn first--grass. The weather for this dog is almost so hot!"

Lin Yi doesn't care. Anyway, someone drives to invite himself to travel, including food and accommodation, so he can just relax; as for this stuffy weather, just get used to it.

...

The inn is called "Yuelai Inn". It is a retro private hotel with antique layout, mud tiles and red walls, wooden rafters and carved railings. Even the counter looks like the old-fashioned counter on TV. However, the waiter is not wearing a melon-skin hat, but a little girl in a fashionable and beautiful skirt. While knocking melon seeds, she also made registration records for Lin Yi and the others.

After registration, Lin Yi and others received the key and were about to leave. The girl at the counter said to them in a slutty manner, "Look, you look like you are from other places. Do you want to introduce you to a few little sisters, each of them is very well-behaved and has a good figure... Don't get me wrong. Hungry, just ask them to be a tour guide for you and accompany you around and introduce you to the cultural relics and historical sites. As for whether you can continue to develop, it depends on your own fate..."

Lin Yi smiled: "No need, we will stay for one day and leave."

When the little girl saw Lin Yi speak, she threw her eyes over and applied her bright red lips and smiled: "Young man is handsome, but I can introduce you to a free one. How about it? Do you want to consider it?"

Cao Yidao shook his butt and salivated his face, "Where are Is there any free one?" He blinked his lustful little eyes.

The little sister glanced at him, "It's good that you are so rough. If you don't want to add more money, you still want to do it for free..."

Cao Yidao immediately looked dark.

...

There was air conditioning in the room. Cao Yidao, who was afraid of heat, refused to go out. He just lay on a rattan chair and patted his belly comfortably, eating watermelons, and watching TV.

Lin Yi was rarely out and was very excited and wanted to go out for a walk by himself. When he went out, he said hello, but Teacher Huang said, "I'll accompany you."

Looking at Teacher Huang following behind him, Lin Yi suddenly felt inexplicably that this guy looked too much like the bodyguard in the TV series, the man in black following behind the famous and famous figure.

But he seems to be just a little person, so coach Huang doesn't have to treat himself as his master for 30,000 yuan.

Lin Yi intentionally broke the silence between the two, but Teacher Huang followed behind, not going forward, not leaning on the left or right. He listened to whatever Lin Yi said, not talking too much, and not saying anything.

At first, Lin Yi felt very distorted. Gradually, his mind was attracted by the beautiful scenery and quaint attractions, but he forgot about the man Huang.

...

Although Bailang Street is small, there are many good scenery, such as "Three Provinces Inn", "Theater Tower", "Da Qing Photo Gallery", "Pinglang Palace Scenic Area", etc. Although it was noon, Lin Yi did not feel tired at all. Occasionally, he could get close to some scattered tourist teams and listen to the director introduce the new things in these for free.

But none of these are what makes Lin Yi happiest. What makes Lin Yi happiest is that he actually discovered an old bookstore while he was having fun.

In such an ancient town, seeing the same old old bookstore is definitely a great blessing for book lovers. At least Lin Yi's heart was very excited.

Regardless of whether Teacher Huang was still there or not, Lin Yi immediately walked towards the "Bailang Old Bookstore" not far away.

The store is not large, only thirty square meters, and the three walls are filled with old aluminum bookshelf, and the bookshelf is full of old books.

It was almost noon, and there was no one in the bookstore. There was only a middle-aged man wearing glasses squatting on a small stool and reading books in the bookstore, looking like the owner of a bookstore. Lin Yi tilted his head and looked at the title of the book he was reading, which was written by the famous writer Tang Tao.

Speaking of Tang Tao, what impressed Lin Yi the most was that this writer once wrote an article to recall Mr. Lu Xun, whose name was "San Memories", and then it was collected into the Chinese textbook. The teacher said that he should be able to memorize, so Lin Yi stayed in class after school at noon and did not approve him to go home after memorizing it. Because of his deep impression, he could still remember some intermittently.

Tang Tao published a book in June 1962, which was later very famous "Hui'an Shuhua". The book published in 1962 was extremely thin, with only 117 pages, 96,000 words, and 30,000 seals. The title of the book is also simple and grand, and it is called "Shuhua", with only the seal "Hui'an" stamped on the lower left corner of the cover. Although the seal volume is large, it can be sold for more than 100 yuan. By 1980, Sanlian Publishing House published this book "Hui'an Shuhua", which is a type that scholars like.

Lin Yi has also read this book. Tang's writing style is not very good, and it is expensive because of its simplicity. However, the most important thing is that his book has many interesting content, as well as the introduction and story about writers and writers of many writers of the Republic of China. For example, it mentioned the "Collection of Extraterritorial Novels" written by the Zhou brothers (Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren). Lin Yi knew that this book had been auctioned online before, and the boss seemed to like it, and regarded it as a waste of money, so he started to shoot for one yuan, but the auction situation was thrilling. In just 48 hours, it reached the upper limit of 20,000 yuan set by the website. The owner withdrew the auction, and later sold for 270,000 yuan at the Haiwang Village auction.

It can be said that this book "Hui'an Shuhua" is a book that many people who like to learn books are introductory instructions. After reading this book, you will understand what a "good" book is.

...

At this time, Lin Yi saw that the bookstore owner was reading books seriously and did not disturb him, so he looked at books one by one from the first row of bookshelf with his hands behind his back.

In the past, Lin Yi might have used his special sense of smell to find good books, but when he cheated too much, he felt boring. It would be better to rely on his real discernment ability to use Taobao. After all, he has read so many notes on books and books about books, and he also feels that the value of books is good.
