Chapter 1109 Cloth Bag and Torn Book
"this"
The old man at the gate looked embarrassed. "You can see that there are so many books here! I don't know what the shabby book you mentioned is! I can't read either, where can I find it for you?"
The woman thought the old man's words were just an excuse, and she immediately became unhappy, "Don't you want to find it for me?"
The old man also felt a little aggrieved, "Why don't I want to find it for you? Didn't I say..."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the man who had been silent stood up and said, "Okay, Xiaowen, we are here to do business, not to pick a fight. Can't we just talk it out nicely? Besides, what the old comrade said is right! You didn't even explain clearly, so how would they know what book you are looking for? Besides, it's not their fault that they can't read. They are all poor old farmers who never had the chance to learn to read before. There's nothing they can do about it!"
Hearing what the man said, Su Ruanruan subconsciously raised her eyebrows.
Fortunately, she kept her head down and no one saw her action.
But Su Ruanruan still felt something was wrong and immediately adjusted her expression.
But I couldn't help but think in my heart that this man is really a leader!
Listen to what this is saying!
Is that something that an average person could say? After hearing what the man said, the old man at the gate calmed down and started laughing again. "This comrade is sensible. Tell me in detail and I'll help you find it. I know where most of the things here are."
Of course, this is bragging!
There is no telling how many things are piled here. Sometimes something is delivered every few days and he can’t even see them all, so how can he possibly remember where something is?
But even though I don’t know, I still have to say what I need to say.
It's just books! Books. They're right here! The man seemed not to notice the old man's little thoughts, and said to the woman with a smile, "Xiao Wen, tell me in detail."
The woman called Xiaowen curled her lips and said, "We are looking for two things, a book and a cloth bag. The cloth bag is blue, probably not as long as my hand, flat, and looks like it has nothing in it. The book is very torn, the cover is rotten, and the paper inside has turned yellow. If you have seen it, you will definitely remember it."
Xiaowen felt that she had explained it in great detail, so she stared at the old man, waiting for him to point out where the thing was.
The old man at the gate still had a smile on his face. "That's clear! If you had said it so clearly earlier, I would have found it for you a long time ago."
As he spoke, the old gatekeeper walked towards the shed, and after a while, he came out holding a bamboo basket.
"Look, this is all the stuff you mentioned."
After saying that, he put the bamboo basket on the ground and asked Xiaowen and the other two to look at it.
Su Ruanruan also took a look into the bamboo basket and saw a lot of sachets of various colors, as well as cloth bags, wallets, large and small.
There were various cloth bags and some tattered books, many of which were consistent with what Xiaowen had just described.
No wonder the old man wasn't panicked at all, it turns out there are quite a few of these things.
But Su Runrun felt privately that these things did not contain what Xiaowen was looking for.
Because, those two things are now in her treasure space!
