Chapter 643: Sneak in (Thanks to the book friend "a green leaf" for the reward)
Manbao looked at the height and shook his head, "This won't do. It's too high."
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure flew past her and landed steadily on the wall.
Manbao was silent for a moment, then continued to look down at Baishan and asked, "Can you find a ladder?"
Wei Chen was stunned. He looked at Daji who had landed not far away, then at the two people sitting on the wall, and asked Bai Shan, "Why did you call me when you have such a servant?"
Bai Shan pushed Wei Chen forward, letting him stand against the wall, and said to the two people above, "There's no ladder, but there's Brother Wei. See if you can step on his shoulders to get down."
Wei Chen was unhappy and asked again: "Your Daji is so powerful, why do you still need my help?"
Bai Shan sighed and said, "Daji won't help us."
Manbao and Bai Er on the wall nodded together.
They grew up together, and Daji followed him around when he was just old enough to understand things. Over the years, he has become accustomed to his way of doing things.
He basically wouldn't stop them from "doing bad things", but he wouldn't help them either, unless they were likely to be seriously injured. Otherwise, he would just drive for them.
But they still like it this way.
Although Aunt Liu loved them very much and took care of them in every detail, she would also stop them from doing anything. Even if they wanted to eat one more piece of dessert, Aunt Liu would nag them for a long time.
After so many years, the three children have become accustomed to getting along with Daji.
That is, just pretend that Daji doesn't exist in normal times, and shout Daji when there is danger.
When he was younger, Manbao felt that Daji was pitiful because he had no one to talk to all day long, so he always tried to talk to him, and Bai Shanbao followed suit to join in the fun.
Then the two chatterboxes almost drove Daji crazy, and in the end Daji had to talk to them several times before he could maintain the current calm.
When Daji saw Wei Chen looking at him, he turned his head away, showing an attitude of indifference.
Wei Chen's eyes widened as he asked in disbelief, "Is there such a servant in this world? Oh, that's too arrogant, right? Why?"
Bai Shan said as a matter of course: "This is Daji's job, no matter what, do you want to help?"
Wei Chen glanced up at the two of them again and asked, "Where's my ice cream?"
"I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
"No, I'm going to eat soon."
"Okay, I'll go out and buy it for you later." Anyway, as a boarding student, he can enter and leave the school freely after school.
Wei Chen then walked to the foot of the wall and stood there, straightening his body. "I say, you can't always ask me to help you. This time or twice is fine, but there's no way I'll let you step on me forever."
Manbao stepped on his shoulders first. Wei Chen swayed for a moment and gritted his teeth, saying, "You're too heavy. Are you still a girl?"
Manbao ignored him, squatted down against the wall, and then slid off his shoulders.
Wei Chen rubbed his shoulders and let Bai Erlang step down on his shoulders.
Bai Shan said, "Once they grow taller, they will be able to jump down like the other students, so no matter how hard you work, it will be hard."
Wei Chen was horrified. "How long will it take for them to grow taller? And what if they don't grow taller?"
Manbao said, "Brother Wei, don't be afraid. If we eat more, we will grow taller soon."
"No, you should eat less." Wei Chen rubbed his shoulders and looked at Man Bao. Only then did he realize something was wrong. "Why are you wearing men's clothes?"
Manbao stretched out his hand and turned it in a circle, letting him see it, and asked with a smile, "Does it look good? I bought this at the clothing store. I also bought two pieces of cloth and asked Lijun to make two more sets for me so I can change them when the time comes."
Wei Chen pointed at them with a shaking finger, "You, you guys really plan to treat the prefectural school like your own backyard?"
Manbao immediately confessed: "If we don't visit the government school, we'll visit the library."
Bai Shan nodded repeatedly. "We can't copy books from a bookstore. Even if we were to read, we wouldn't be able to stay in the bookstore all the time, and there would always be no place to sit. In a bookstore, if we can't memorize the book right away, we'll always have nowhere to look when we need to find information later. But it's different in a library. We can bring our own writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone to copy, and the books we copy are ours."
Manbao nodded repeatedly, "I'm here just to read and copy books. Don't worry, I've been very good at copying books since I was a child, and I won't dirty the books."
Wei Chen had always skipped school since he was a child, and he had never seen anyone sneak into the library to read books. He was stunned for a moment.
Bai Shan had already grabbed the two friends and said, "Let's go. The school will be cleared out before sunset and locked up, so we can only read for an hour at most."
Bai Shan led them to a window not far from the back door of the library.
Bai Shan whispered, "You wait for us here."
Then he reached out and pulled Wei Chen away.
Bai Shan had already left his book basket at the library. He used a wooden sign to retrieve his book basket and registered to enter the building. Then he pulled Wei Chen around the bookshelf and found a back door. He pushed the wooden bar of the window and quietly opened the door.
Manbao and Bai Erlang quickly climbed up to the window and crawled in through there.
Daji did not climb in through the window with them. Instead, he found a tree outside the window and leaned against it with his arms around his chest. He was silent and had almost no presence.
Not to mention that this place is secluded, even if there are people coming and going, I'm afraid no one would notice that there is such a person standing under the tree.
It was Manbao's first time to visit the library, but the bookshelves here were arranged similarly to those in a bookstore. She felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the books on the shelves.
Because this place is remote, the books on the bookshelves are all niche and miscellaneous books, and there are no students here.
Bai Shanbao took Manbao's hand and walked around several bookshelves. They saw more students. Some of them were walking between the bookshelves, and when they heard the noise, they just turned their heads and glanced at them.
Manbao was still young at that time. Although she was fair and pretty, Baishan was also good-looking, so when she walked beside him in men's clothes, no one noticed that she was a woman.
What's more, the light in the library is a little dim.
Most people just glanced at it and then looked away, continuing to look for their own books.
Apart from the students who were walking among the bookshelves looking for books, the vast majority of the students were sitting outside the bookshelves, leaning against the wall or on the tables and chairs lined up by the window, working hard at their desks.
Most of the time I was taking notes or copying from books.
This is also the most attractive part of the library of the provincial school for students. Most students do not have the right to take books out of the library, but they can copy them in the library. As long as they do not damage the books, they can basically get a book they want by just paying the effort and the cost of paper and ink.
It's much better than the expensive books out there.
There are also some books here that can't be bought in other bookstores. Bai Shan whispered to Man Bao, "I saw a lot of rare books in the library's catalog that can't be found outside. Unfortunately, I'm not eligible to borrow them yet."
Good night
