Gold House.
Front hall, above the hall.
"Brother Yizhi, what a rare guest! A rare guest!"
"I'm sorry for bothering you by coming here."
Mr. Lin bowed and exchanged pleasantries with the visitor. Lin Yu and Wang Miaomiao, as his juniors, stood one step behind him, both with their eyes half-closed and not saying a word.
"What are you talking about? Sit down and talk." Jin Duobao smiled and invited the three to sit down.
Wang Miaomiao was sitting in the lower seat. She looked up at the person who came, but was dazzled by the golden light on the man. What kind of outfit was this?
Lin Xiucai had grown accustomed to his old friend, dressed in a white robe and a golden jacket, and full of heroic spirit. His expression remained calm and he said in a gentle voice, "Brother Jin, it's been a long time since we last met. You look the same as before."
Jin Duobao laughed a few times and said, "Brother Yizhi, what brings you here this time?"
He was always straightforward and had a close relationship with Mr. Lin. He knew that his good friend must have something to ask for when he suddenly came to visit him, so after sitting down and exchanging greetings, he asked directly about his purpose.
Lin Xiucai smiled and said, "I came here this time to borrow some books from Brother Jin's collection. Is that convenient?"
Jin Duobao was stunned when he heard this. Although he loved collecting books, most of them were niche books such as strange stories, skills and miscellaneous arts, which were completely different in style from the policy papers that Lin Xiucai liked to study.
He was puzzled, but he didn't ask. He just nodded and said, "It's a small matter. Of course it's convenient. I mean, you can go over now."
Lin Xiucai bowed and said, "Brother Jin, thank you very much."
Jin Duobao stood up and took the three of them through the front hall and into the back courtyard. Along the way, there were red flowers and green trees, and the scenery was pleasant. It was obvious that the Jin family was quite wealthy.
Wang Miaomiao didn't care about these things. She was only concerned about the collection of books mentioned in the conversation in the hall just now.
Since Mr. Lin had gone to great lengths to bring two people here, the method for making the waterwheel she was looking for might very well be in the books in the Jin Mansion. Thinking of this, she became a little anxious.
He was not paying attention to the surrounding scenery.
As Mr. Lin walked on the road, he kept his attention on the two people behind him. It was within his expectations that his son Lin Yu was pale and silent.
But Wang Miaomiao, a young girl, remained so calm throughout the whole journey that he was somewhat impressed.
In a moment.
Jin Duobao brought the three of them to a small building and then stopped.
"Yizhi, the Jin family's collection of books is nearby in the building. You can go and check it out yourself. If you need anything, just tell the servants upstairs." After he said that, he gave the servant in front of the building a look.
The servant in blue stepped forward and said respectfully, "Please follow me."
Lin Xiucai bowed to Jin Duobao and said, "Brother Jin, thank you very much."
After saying this, he followed the servant who led the way into the building, and Wang Miaomiao and Lin Yu followed closely behind.
CRACK——
The wooden door of the small building was pushed open with a slight sound.
When the three of them walked into the building, the first thing they saw was rows of bookshelves filled with densely packed books.
The servant in blue said respectfully, "Sir, all the books in the mansion are here. If you have any instructions, please come to the door and call me."
Mr. Lin nodded when he heard this, and the servant in blue bowed and left the building.
At this time, there were only three people left in the library.
Lin Xiucai turned around and said, "Yu'er, the method for making the waterwheel must be recorded. It may be in the books in this building. Let's search separately. Just be careful not to damage the books."
Lin Yu had apparently heard Mr. Lin mention the book search when he was at home, so he turned around and found a bookshelf and started looking through it.
Wang Miaomiao saw that Lin Xiucai was looking at her hesitantly, so she explained, "Sir, Miao'er has learned some words from attending classes at the village school, so it's okay to do a rough screening. If there are any unsure words, I'll pick them out for your review."
Lin Xiucai smiled and said, "That's fine. Just look for it with me. If you are unsure about something, just bring it to me."
The three of them split up into two groups and started reading the books on the bookshelf one by one.
As I looked down, time passed by in a flash.
Wang Miaomiao looked up from the books again, her shoulders feeling a little sore. She stretched her body and saw that the light in the building had dimmed, but she had only flipped through a small part of the many bookshelves.
Unconsciously frowning, she thought that searching through the vast sea of books was not a solution, and she had to find a faster way.
Wang Miaomiao: "099, does the mall have any products specifically designed to help with finding things?"
099: "Host, yes."
The mall interface suddenly opened in front of her. After being filtered by 099, only three products remained: a halo and two lost items.
Wang Miaomiao took a quick glance and ruled out the first one. The luck halo required 100,000 merits to purchase, which she couldn't afford, so she just gave it a try.
Then there are two products with similar functions. Both can help users find the items they need and guide them in the right direction. The only difference is that one is a Western magic spell and the other is an Eastern talisman.
She chose the latter.
During the contract training, she had said that products with incompatible world attributes could not be used. This world was obviously from the ancient East, so she naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to choose the former.
100 points for the Hidden Object Charm.
After Wang Miaomiao chose to buy it, the talisman appeared in her hand. Looking at the bright yellow triangular talisman with vermilion in her hand, she asked, "099, how do I use this?"
"Host, this requires mental power to drive it. Try concentrating your energy." 099 said.
Mental strength...
Wang Miaomiao lowered her eyes. Ever since she started practicing the spiritual power technique, the phantoms created by her spiritual power had become much more solid, but she had never used them before. So she held the talisman in her hand and concentrated her energy as 099 said.
The talisman for finding things was activated by mental power, and a vague sense of direction emerged.
She followed her intuition and walked to a bookshelf in the corner. She searched on the second shelf and found a book called "Illustrated Explanations of Various Instruments".
Wang Miaomiao flipped through a few pages and saw that the content was about the manufacturing methods of various tools, which were accompanied by hand-drawn illustrations and were very detailed and easy to understand.
She searched the book and found the waterwheel mentioned there. After confirming that the description and picture were similar to her memory, she said, "Mr. Lin, I found it."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiucai and Lin Yu stood up and walked over.
Wang Miaomiao handed the book to Lin Xiucai and said with a smile, "The pictures and functional descriptions in this book are very consistent with the waterwheel we are looking for."
Lin Xiucai looked through it carefully and couldn't help but smile as he said, "Good, the crops in the village are saved."
Lin Yu glanced at Wang Miaomiao with a look of surprise. He didn't expect that the book would be found so easily. It was so smooth that it was a little unexpected.
"Miao girl, you really saved us time." Lin Xiucai praised with a happy face, then took the book to the bookshelf and said, "Come on, hurry up and organize the books, then let's go out together."
The three of them sorted out the pile of books that had been disturbed while looking for books and put them back.
Then he took the book and left the library.
