Bai Song flipped through the two books and was a little speechless. He had been looking for these two books for a long time. One was "Soul Bound to the Mountains" and the other was "Anecdotes of the Mountains". The former was a serious cultural reading, while the latter was just a joke, right?
Even the book "Soul Bound to the Mountains" only wrote that the Yellow River civilization originated here and that the world's general situation was related to the Dashan Province. Could it be that Scarface was planning to use these books for archaeological purposes?
Bai Song was speechless and wanted to put the book back into the warehouse. He could read the names of the two books online, so there was no need to take advantage of the owner of the scrap recycling center. After taking a general look at the books, Bai Song decided to put them back.
Zhao Guofeng didn't know what Bai Song meant, so he just followed Bai Song around.
"Is there anything you need?" Zhao Guofeng asked, not knowing what Bai Song was doing.
"Eh? Where did the uncle take this book just now? Why can't I find it?" Bai Song walked around but couldn't find where he got the book.
"Ah? This?" Zhao Guofeng took a look and said, "Okay, I'll look for it."
Zhao Guofeng searched for twice before he found the books in a corner. There were quite a few similar books there, but many of them were covered in dust.
"Are these history books not selling well?" Bai Song was a little curious.
"Hmm..." Zhao Guofeng nodded: "Actually, I don't understand it either, but I heard from several booksellers that people buy books nowadays. Some are to read novels, or to read about cooking, while others buy biographies, history books, etc., and put them on the wall to pretend that they are knowledgeable.
But many of these books here are local biographies, about various provinces and cities. How could anyone want them? At that time, the bookstore warehouse had these books, but I didn’t want any of them. Later, they had no place to put them, so they sold them to me at the price of waste paper, and they were piled up in a corner.”
"That means these book sellers generally don't wholesale these books?" Bai Song asked back.
"Not really. I was counting on these people to help me sell all these books! So, for books like these that I bought at the price of waste paper, I would give them a few at the beginning. If they can't be sold, then so be it. If they are sold, they will come back to buy them. However, it seems that the old man just now has sold several books of this type recently." Zhao Guofeng recalled.
Bai Song thanked him but still did not return the book. He planned to take it back and study it slowly.
After returning to the parking place, Bai Song first drove the car back to the office to pack up, then returned to his residence and gritted his teeth to read the book Soul Bound to the Mountain. This book is actually well written and is divided into two volumes, but only the first volume is here, and Scarface took away only the first volume.
The first volume mainly writes that Dashan Province has a good geographical location, outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It is the birthplace of civilization and has produced many emperors, generals, outstanding people and extraordinary women.
After reading for a while, Bai Song really couldn't afford to waste this time, so he picked up his law book again. There were still three weeks before the exam.
Bai Song studied until 12 o'clock in the evening. He shook his head and treated the two books as bedtime reading.
Bai Song picked up the book "Anecdotes from the Mountains" and began to read it with great interest.
Eh? It's pretty funny?
The descendants surveyed the tombs, and after looking at the good feng shui, they dug up their own ancestor's tomb? Hahahaha...
He was appointed as the prime minister, but he died on the way to take office? Hahahaha...
Well, nothing funny.
Bai Song doesn't know whether these are true or not, but it's okay to treat them as jokes...
There is a paragraph that says that three generations of a family are tomb robbers. The grandfather went to dig but never came back, leaving behind a young child. Later, the child grew up and became a father, and also went there but never came back. It was not until the grandson's generation grew up and was fully prepared that they dug it out...
Two corpses...
This is not a tomb at all... Two generations of people committed suicide and turned this place into a tomb.
If this story was just that, it would not have been passed down. In fact, the man who dug out his grandfather and father was not an easy person to deal with later on. He gradually became a very famous tomb robber, and he also summed up a lot of things, and was even close to founding a school. In short, he had apprentices and many subordinates, succeeded many times, and also wrote some things.
Some things are just like this. Once people become famous, everything they do will be popular, and they don't care whether this "tomb-robbing secret book" is really valuable. However, as soon as this book came out, several disciples started to quarrel over it and even fought each other.
The book provides an explanation that the fight was not just for the book, but also for treasure. The man had hidden several treasures, and only a few people knew where they were.
Bai Song was fascinated by this story, and only realized after he finished reading it that this might be the key to the case!
Although this discovery was quite significant, it was too late and Bai Song fell asleep quickly.
The next morning at work, Bai Song went to the bookstall with three identification records.
These identification records are from Fei Ming, Fei Peng and Jiangcai Li. Bai Song wants to know from the old man whether the people who bought these books before are these three people?
Fortunately, the old man was still there, but his memory was not that good and he could not remember a single one. Bai Song could understand this, as no salesperson could clearly remember the appearance of his customers from half a month ago.
Bai Song originally thought that the old man would have some interactions with them while selling books, and he should have some impression of them. However, it was not realistic at the moment. However, the old man was still very polite. "If you bring these people to me and let me identify them, I might be able to recognize them."
Bai Song nodded to express his gratitude.
"By the way, I said yesterday that I would give you this book, but you haven't taken it yet." The old man took out a book on basic chemistry.
"Ah?" Bai Song took it and said, "I thought you were going to give me those four books."
"You won't understand." The old man smiled and said, "Based on my understanding of today's college students, basically few of them still remember what they learned in middle school."
"How could that be? I was good at chemistry in high school!" Bai Song was really not convinced. He was very good at math, physics and chemistry in high school.
"Okay, let me test you. Um... Then tell me, what is the mechanism of the reaction between sodium hydroxide solution and aluminum? Who is the oxidant?" The old man thought for a long time and came up with such a "simple" question.
"This is not a difficult question for me. In the reaction between aluminum and sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, the oxidant is water. Potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium and aluminum, the first four can directly react with water to produce hydrogen, but aluminum is not active enough, so the hydroxide ion of the strong base can increase the degree of forward reaction, allowing aluminum to react with water!" Bai Song said effortlessly.
