1. The Book of Heaven
"You are finally dead!"
Sitting behind the bar, Zhou Rui's face was a little confused. The woman who suddenly appeared in her mind had a clear voice, and was quickly blurred and dull, as if she was just an illusion.
Looking at the empty shop, he always felt that something seemed to have happened just now, but he didn't know what to say.
It's like something happened, but I forgot it.
At this time, a "bang" sound came from the bar in front of you, and a sharp voice sounded: "Zhou Rui, why are you getting less and less tutors? Do you think I am air when you talk to you?"
Zhou Rui raised his head and looked at the middle-aged woman sitting opposite him. Then he came to his senses and said quickly: "Sorry, Mom, I seemed to have a little auditory hallucination just now..."
"What hallucination is, you just take my words as a warning. Don't think that Yun'er will be safe when she marrys you. If that master hadn't been to marrying two families, what qualifications would be to marry my daughter? Now, I'm fine, looking at such a broken bookstore all day, I can't even make a thousand yuan a month, so what can I use to support Yun'er? You can't afford her lipstick!" The woman unyieldingly patted the somewhat worn bar counter, completely ignoring that the bar counter was almost broken by her.
Zhou Rui showed a bitter expression on his face, and he only lowered his head and listened, not daring to justify anything.
Sitting opposite is his mother-in-law Song Fengxue, who opened a small clinic in Qingzhou City. Although it is not big, it still earns 1.8 million yuan a year.
My father-in-law Ji Zeming is a professor in the history department of Qingzhou University. Compared with such a person, his junior high school education is no different from illiteracy.
As for his wife Ji Qingyun, she not only has a look and figure comparable to a big star, but also has been a top student since she was a child. After graduating from university, she joined a large enterprise and worked as a middle-level manager at a young age, with an annual salary of more than 500,000 yuan.
Zhou Rui himself, when he was in the second grade of elementary school, his parents died in a car accident. He relied on the help of the Ji family to get to junior high school.
His parents' affairs were too much of a blow to him, and at the same time he was at a young age, his personality gradually became cowardly and introverted, and he stopped going to school when he arrived in junior high school.
In the eyes of others, he voluntarily dropped out of school because of poor academic performance, but in fact, Zhou Rui didn't want to be said that he always spent money from the Ji family.
This bookstore is the only legacy left to him by his parents, but now in this society, who will buy books? The business of the bookstore is getting worse and worse, and the net profit of a month is less than 1,000 yuan.
What everyone can't understand is why Ji Qingyun married such a coward. I don't know how many people pointed and said that Zhou Rui was a soft-hearted person.
Zhou Rui knew a little about the reason, but he always felt that the so-called master was talking nonsense. What is the Ji family going to be disasters, without him, the family would be destroyed.
Is it possible?
Now that the Ji family is booming, how can they look good? How can they look like disaster?
"I don't care what Lao Ji said, I won't watch my daughter stay in the fire pit anyway. There are still three months to celebrate the New Year, so I won't make things difficult for you. After the New Year, you two will divorce. I will give you 500,000 yuan, and no one will owe anyone from now on!"
Listening to what his mother-in-law Song Feng learned, Zhou Rui still lowered his head and nodded in a cowardly manner.
Judging from his appearance, Song Fengxue was even more angry. How could such a cowardly man be worthy of his daughter? I don’t know what was so stubborn that he really believed the lies from more than 20 years ago!
"Baoshi, I'll be annoyed at you!" After Song Fengxue said that, he slapped several old books on the bar on the ground, lifted his legs and left.
Zhou Rui then raised his head, the bitterness and aggrievance on his face were obvious. But what his mother-in-law said was the truth, and he was indeed not qualified to be with Ji Qingyun.
Despite being scolded like this, Zhou Rui stood up and sent his mother-in-law away.
After leaving the store, Song Fengxue drove away.
"Are you scolded again?" A man in his thirties asked, standing at the door of the beef soup shop.
Zhou Rui smiled bitterly and nodded. Just as he was about to turn around and enter the house, a little girl of six or seven years old ran to him from the store, blinked her big eyes and asked, "Brother Zhou Rui, can I read the book after I finish my homework?"
The man came over and picked up the little girl and said, "How many times have you told you that you want to call me uncle."
"It's okay, Brother Wang, I actually really hope to have a sister like Xiaoling." Zhou Rui said that after both parents died, relatives stopped interacting with him, so they hoped to have a family relationship. Just as they were about to talk to the little girl, Zhou Rui suddenly saw a blood-red light on the little girl's forehead, which was very conspicuous.
"Xiaoling, your forehead..."
"What's wrong with the forehead?" the little girl asked with her forehead.
Zhou Rui looked at her, then at Brother Wang who opened a beef soup restaurant, and asked in confusion: "Can't you see it?"
"Can't see anything?" Brother Wang was also confused.
Zhou Rui didn't know how to explain, and was afraid that he would have hallucinations because of too much pressure, so he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, wait until Xiaoling finishes her homework and let her read the book."
"Forget it today, I have to go back early to buy beef." Brother Wang said.
Zhou Rui did not persuade him much, nodded and returned to his store.
After picking up several books that my mother-in-law Song Fengxue knocked down from the ground, Zhou Rui sat behind the bar for a long time before gradually recovering to his senses.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be on the bar.
There are a few freshly cut cultural walnuts there, but their appearance is not very good. My father-in-law Ji Zeming loves this cultural and entertainment thing very much. It is his birthday in a while. Zhou Rui originally wanted to try his luck to see if he could cut out a pair of more beautiful appearances as gifts.
In addition to Wenhua Walnut, there is also a white ancient book next to it, with several obscure symbols or words on the cover.
Zhou Rui was very sure that he had never seen such a word, but he knew its meaning clearly in his mind: "The Book of Morality, all your wishes come true."
A trace of doubt rose in Zhou Rui's eyes. He didn't remember that he had such a book.
What made him even more strange was that when he looked at the book, he saw six golden light as big as a grain of rice hanging on the cover. To be precise, it was seen by his left eye.
If you close your left eye, you will find that there is nothing on the bar. When you open it, the ancient book and the golden light are still there, which makes Zhou Rui very surprised.
He vaguely felt that his strange left eye suddenly appeared and the ancient books on the bar were all related to what he had just forgotten. But no matter how he thought, he couldn't remember what he had forgotten. It seemed that his memory had disappeared for a while.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Rui slowly stretched out his hand and touched the ancient book that could only be seen by his left eye.
Surprisingly, it is obvious that only one eye can see it, but when it really touches it, it is like substance.
The cover looks like some kind of leather, with tentacles warm and soft. But a book actually gives people a warm touch like the skin, which is very strange in itself.
Curiosity overcame the others. Zhou Rui slowly opened the cover, but found that the inner page was blank.
He smiled bitterly, what is this?
Looking down at the few cultural walnuts at hand, Zhou Rui sighed. With such a good look, I would probably be thrown into the trash can on the spot, right?
But, what's fun about this kind of thing?
He picked up the walnut in one hand and learned to rub others in his palm. Zhou Rui picked up the strange book with the other hand, wanting to study it again.
The pages of the book are still blank, and there are many pages, but in fact only one page can be turned, and the others seem to be stuck together.
Zhou Rui sighed again, feeling the green friction in his palms, and subconsciously remembered the introduction of Wenwan Walnut.
What is the best walnut like and how to distinguish it, flashed through his mind.
At this time, Zhou Rui suddenly felt that there seemed to be something more at hand, so he looked down and couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw a table of cultural walnuts, all of which were amazingly large.
He was stunned. Why did he suddenly have so many walnuts? At this moment, he glanced at the inner page of the wordless book, and a pair of walnuts were slowly emerging from the pages.
This scene almost made Zhou Rui fall off the chair.
What emerged from the book?
If you look closely, there is a line of lingo on the pages of the book, which looks so familiar. If you think about it carefully, isn’t it just that he recalled in his mind that the most perfect walnut introduction to the cultural relics?
