1. This is just a bookstore

Wall Street, a bustling commercial street, spans most of the city. If you want to reach the north from the south of the city, this street is the only way to go.And once tourists come to this street, they will not return empty-handed.

The scene on the street divides the street into three sections. The area closest to the city gate is regarded as the first area. This area is always lively, whether it is day or night, it is brightly lit and full of people.The middle part of the street is the second district, which is not like the first district. There are mostly elegant storefronts here, and there are not many people coming and going.As for the third district, sometimes there are very few people.

No one in business wants to move their storefront to the third district, but there are some people who like it.There is a bookstore at the corner where the second and third districts meet.

Yu Xi was sitting at the counter... A pair of small round glasses with thin frames rested on the bridge of her nose, wearing gloves, she was flipping through a seemingly old book in her hand, she had to read every page Be very careful.This is what she got from an old man who passed hundreds of dollars not long ago.Her eyes were fixed on every word in the book.

Her bookstore is not small, but it is not too big. There are two large bookshelves, a table, and four chairs for people to sit and read. Half of the walls in the bookstore are lined with full of books.There are actually not many books here, but it looks a little messy.As soon as you enter this bookstore, you will feel as if you have gone back to the past, but in fact, the decoration is too simple.

Occasionally, someone would come in to look around, maybe because they are free, or maybe because they saw that the shop was in tatters. Also, no shopkeeper would let the signboard outside the door be in a state of falling off at any time.

What?You said the owner did it on purpose?Is it to attract more passers-by with anti-psychology?

Wait, let me laugh for a while.Cough, stop teasing, just her?This kind of thing is impossible.You do not believe?Forget it, seeing is believing, come and see for yourself.

"This bookstore is really run-down."

"That is to say, look, even the sign outside the door is about to fall off. Let's go, there are no good books."

This is what almost every customer has said.But as the store manager, Yu Xi didn't seem to care at all, just sitting at the counter with a book in his hand to read.

"I said," with the sound of "squeak", the door was pushed open. "Yu Xi, as your neighbor's elder brother, I still have to remind you, isn't it a little too much for you to spray the ground with pesticides? Since last, last... last week you brought back the one that was said to be snatched from a mummy After the stone, oh, there is also the stone tablet that was dug out of the mud from nowhere last week, I don’t know how you carried it back.”

A young man with short dark blond hair stood in front of the bookshelf, pulled out a book, turned two pages, stuffed it back, and pulled out another book.After changing three or four books in a row, I finally picked one and went to the counter and leaned against the counter, "I took this one away. Oh, and the sign hanging outside the door needs to be repaired and replaced. What do you think? Woolen cloth?"

Yu Xi didn't seem to hear, still looking down at the book with his head down.

"Yu Xi, are you listening to me? Yu Xi!" Xiu Lian helplessly looked at Yu Xi who was engrossed in the book.This girl is still the type who can never hear other people's words after reading a book.However, as a handsome and smart (big mistake) big brother who has a close and friendly relationship with her and is full of family love next door (mistake), he is studying a profound knowledge called——How does a witty brother next door successfully wake up a book-ing natural dumb sister? study.

Ah, the name sounds profound...

Xiulian's face was full of inscrutable ecstasy, as expected only he could come up with such a name full of (sang) is (xin) Zhe (bing) Li (kuang)!What a sense of accomplishment!

Let's test it out next.

"At……"

"Brother Xiulian?" He closed the book, raised his head, and took off his glasses, as if he hadn't noticed the other party's arrival before. "When did you come here?"

"My name is not Xiulian! Xiuli'an! Xiuli, An!" A certain Xiulian plant went mad for a moment, "No, that's not the point! I haven't had time to start experimenting with the new results of my knowledge! The so-called experiment is to test the truth The only standard, Yu Xi, it is wrong for you to stop my experiment like this!"

Yu Xi blinked, and slowly turned her head to one side, what happened to Brother Xiulian today?Oh, she knows, she must have not taken medicine when she came out.She jumped off the chair and walked slowly towards the inner room.

"Yu Xi, let's not talk about the pesticide, don't you think that signboard should be changed?" Xiu Lian immediately returned to normal and followed her into the back room.

"Lost?"

"No, not yet."

"It's about to fall?"

"No, in fact, it can last for a year or two."

"Then why change it?" Yu Xi walked to a bookshelf, turned around and looked up at him.

Xiu Lian was still thinking about how to answer, Yu Xi had already walked into the darkroom where the bookshelf was removed, he was about to chase after him, "Wait..." The bookshelf closed without a pause, "Ah, it's really dangerous, I almost ran into it Already!"

He thought that the first time he saw this magical mechanism was a few years ago.It was the same that time, he wanted to go in, but was locked out by the bookshelf, he waited and waited, but Yu Xi just didn't come out, he almost thought that something happened to Yu Xi.When he came here again the next day, Yu Xi Anran sat in front of the counter and read a book.

He asked her, "What's that place?"

"A place to study books."

"You built it?"

"Yeah." She nodded, shook her head for a while, and then nodded again.

"Is it right? Let me go in and have a look next time."

"No."

"why?"

Yu Xi paused for a while, as if thinking, and finally said, "The book says it's a curse."

2. It's just an adventure

"Curse, curse?!" Xiu Lian, who was always prone to being restless, was not calm again. He yelled exaggeratedly, took two steps back, and successfully won the hygienic eyes of the only two customers in the store.

Yu Xi scratched his hair and thought for a while, "For the time being, it can also be called a formation. The book says that it can prevent others from entering the space where the formation is set. Hmm... I don't know very well."

"Array? Is it that kind of legendary thing? It's amazing, Yu Xi! How did you know it?"

"...it's written in a book."

The word "array" that Yu Xi said is indeed a very magical thing to the people here. Generally, people who like to read, like Xiulian, should have seen it recorded or mentioned in the book. , but as far as they know, no one should have thought of decorating by hand, and even if they wanted to decorate, there seemed to be no successful examples.But this time, after knowing that Yu Xi has formations here, he feels that there are people like Yu Xi in places they don't know, and in places they don't know, they have also set up formations that they have only seen in books .

To be honest, he is not the kind of person who will believe when others say it. Even if he watched Yu Xi grow up, he couldn't believe it directly when faced with such a miraculous thing.So, after finally following Yu Xi into the secret door and trying countless times to break into the room inside and being bounced open, I finally believed in the "array".Every time, I could only watch her with a mournful face as she naturally walked through the place that he couldn't get into without saying a word.Ahh...he seems to know what it looks like inside, really bullying his curiosity that is so heavy that it is slightly weaker than the gravity of the earth.

But what is self-soothing for?After complaining hundreds of times, he didn't have that much desire to go in.Isn't it just a place to study books, isn't it just some strangely shaped stones, isn't it just some books that smell like corpses, hum, he doesn't want to read them.

But this girl Yu Xi is really desperate for the book.Every time I ran a long distance, I came back with injuries all over my body, either my arms were broken or my ribs were broken.Only believe what is in the book, what the book says is what it is.

Xiu Lian looked at the bookshelf firmly covering the secret door and scratched his hair.What a book-loving girl, she went in and pampered those precious things without saying a word.It's cruel to leave him alone to look after the bookstore for her... There will inevitably be complaints, but after so many years, it's just a casual talk.

Sitting at the place where Yu Xi had been sitting and reading, he opened the book in his hand - "Unsolved Mysteries".

"Huh? It's you looking at the store again." Along with the sound of opening the door, a slightly lazy female voice also slowly sounded.The girl walked up to the counter with a faint smile, and faced the strong smell of pesticides in the store, she didn't react at all. It wasn't that she couldn't smell it, but that she didn't dislike the smell. "Yu Xi is really lazy."

"Hey, beautiful Narcissa, you didn't come here to smell the pesticides, did you?" Seeing her eyes light up, Xiulian greeted her with a joke.In this world, who doesn't like to flirt with a beautiful woman occasionally.

Narcissa smiled lightly, but did not answer his words, stretched out her slender hand to take the book he was reading, and glanced at the content, "Oh, this is the rhythm that is about to be assimilated by Xiaoxi." She flipped through two pages ,"Wood
