Chapter 38 She wanted it! The kind of desire she was willing to trade anything for.



Shiyue always knew that this house and this group-buying group were not from their world.

After all, everything it displayed was too advanced, so advanced that Shiyue once thought she had encountered some kind of mountain spirit!

But ever since she actually learned how to use it, Shiyue has deliberately avoided thinking about this issue.

She was a little worried, worried that if she explored too much, one day all of this would vanish without a trace...

Now, she can no longer afford to ignore it.

The words spoken by the group members on the screen deeply stung Shiyue's eyes.

This is something from 2024!

The people here are all descendants from sixty years in the future!

Sixty years later...

Shiyue found the number unbelievable.

How old will I be in sixty years?

An old woman who was almost eighty years old, the same age as the grandfather that Rose mentioned.

However, Shiyue doesn't know if she will be as healthy as that person, or if she will be able to live to that age.

All these thoughts were fleeting. Although Shiyue felt a little sentimental and somewhat dazed, they were overshadowed by greater worries.

Her attention was more focused on what those people were talking about—"that era."

If she wasn't mistaken, Shiyue knew they were referring to the era she was currently living in.

The descriptions of the era and the words mentioned caused her unprecedented panic.

Shiyue wasn't worried about herself; she was worried about her father's best friend, Uncle Shen.

Uncle Shen's situation is similar to that of Qiangwei's maternal grandparents; he now works at Pingjiang University.

If Rose's maternal grandfather's parents were hurt because of their status as university teachers, would Uncle Shen's family be in danger?

Shiyue couldn't help but overthink.

Shiyue wasn't actually familiar with Uncle Shen. She had only met him once before, when she was very young.

But Uncle Shen helped their family a lot. Sun Cheng was able to go to university because of Uncle Shen's help.

One cannot be without conscience. If one does not know, one can simply ignore it. But since one knows there may be danger, Shiyue cannot simply let it go unchecked.

She composed herself and was about to ask Rose for more details when she noticed that the group chat had suddenly increased by several hundred messages.

At this time, people are discussing books that describe that era.

Pudding's Mom: "Speaking of books, I only read one book from that era, Ji Xianlin's 'Memories of the Cowshed,' and I was filled with emotion after reading it."

Quan Quan: "I've read 'Six Chapters from My Life in the Cadre School'."

Bu Yu: "I wrote a paper about that era when I was in school, and I read a lot of books. If any neighbors need it, I can help compile a reading list."

But in reality, there aren't many books about that period of history that are actually available for purchase.

Those interested can check out "One Hundred People's Ten Years," "Forgive, But Never Forget,"... these few books should suffice.

Looking at these words, Shiyue's heart skipped a beat, and her hands instinctively clenched into fists.

If people in these book groups can buy them, what about her?

Can she buy it too?

If she can see the contents of these books, does that mean she understands the future?

Does that mean we can take some precautions in advance?

Shi Yue suppressed her wildly beating heart, cleared her throat, and asked, "Bu Yu, do you have all these books? Can you sell them to me?"

As soon as she spoke, Shiyue realized that her voice had become distorted and her throat was hoarse from nervousness.

Fortunately, the curtain still allowed her to hear what she was saying.

Upon seeing Shiyue's words, Buyu sent three sweating emojis in a row and said, "I'm sorry, the books I read were all borrowed from the school library. I don't keep any of them myself."

However, none of these books are out of print; they should all be available online. Shiyue, why don't you check Taobao or Dangdang?

Shiyue had no idea what Taobao or Dangdang meant when she mentioned them.

After hearing her refusal, I felt a deep sense of regret.

My heart sank to the bottom.

After a long while, she finally said to the curtain, "Thank you."

Afterwards, he sat on the floor of the small house, unable to calm down for a long time.

Shiyue really wants those books, she really wants them!

If she could get it, she would even be willing to exchange all her food for it!

food?

etc,

food!

Shiyue suddenly became a little excited.

She got up from the ground and paced back and forth in the hut several times, quickly organizing her thoughts.

Then she stopped and said seriously to the curtain, "I really want the books that Buyu mentioned earlier, as well as the book '1966' that Qiangwei mentioned before, but I can't buy them myself."

I'm looking to buy something in this group. Does anyone know if they can help me? I'm open to buying with money or exchanging items.

Wild yams or other wild vegetables are fine; I also have wild wood ear mushrooms. If you need other fungi, I can try to find some to trade for them.

Or if there's any mountain product you particularly want, just tell me, and I'm willing to try my best to find it.

If anyone is willing to help me, please reply. Thank you so much!

Shi Yue's words quickly appeared in the group buying group, and the previously lively group chat stopped again.

Soon someone asked, "Is this a purchase request posted by Shiyue?"

"Is that so?"

"These books aren't hard to buy, so why are you asking for them in the group? Wouldn't it be easier to just buy them yourself?"

"Shiyue must have her own reasons, right? Maybe the internet is bad?"

"Who cares what their reason is? It must be inconvenient! @Shiyue, if you're not in a hurry, I can place the order for you. Just send me your address in a private message and I'll buy it for you."
