"Too many?"
The old man seemed to have read He Siyu's mind and turned his head to look at He Siyu.
After a long time, seeing that He Siyu neither agreed nor moved, the old man opened his mouth again and said,
"Little friend, this old man is really not lying to you. I really haven't eaten for a few days. It's hard for me to even talk now.”
"How about this, a cornbread and a mouthful of water?”
"Then you have to promise me that you won't be reduced to a beggar in the future.”
He Siyu glanced at him and left after saying that.
"A beggar?"
"Hey, this kid…"
Hearing the word beggar, the old man was stunned at first, then he laughed involuntarily.
Not long after, He Siyu bought two steamed buns and a bottle of water.
This made He Siyu's heart ache. Although the flour was not expensive and could be bought for 20 cents per catty, He Siyu spent 20 cents on these two steamed buns and a bottle of water!
This was a huge loss. A steamed bun made from 20 cents of flour was enough for a person to eat for two to three days!
"Eat slowly ~"
After taking the steamed bun from He Siyu, the old man immediately wolfed it down.
He Siyu hurriedly handed the water over and said at the same time,"
"Hehe, I see."
After drinking two mouthfuls of water, the old man finally recovered. He took another two bites of the steamed bun and looked at He Siyu.
"Little friend, to tell you the truth, I haven't eaten for three days.”
"That's right. You clearly have hands but you insist on begging. How can you not be hungry?”
He Siyu glanced at him, stood up, and dusted himself off before leaving.
It was already past noon. He Siyu still had to rush to Chaoyang Market to buy chicken. After buying it, he would go back and stew it. There was not much time left. If he delayed any longer, there would not be enough time to stew the chicken.
" Hey, kid, don't be in a hurry to leave!"
Just as He Siyu was about to leave, the old man suddenly pulled him back.
When He Siyu turned around and frowned, he looked at him in confusion.
The old man chuckled, then his expression turned serious."
"I was wondering why you looked so disgusted just now. So it was a misunderstanding!”
"This old man is actually not a beggar. I went to the countryside to visit a relative and collected some things on the way. When I came back, I didn't have the fare."
"Look, after walking for three days, we reached the Dongdan Market. We were only ten miles away, but we really couldn't walk anymore and fell headfirst here.”
"If you are willing to give me two steamed buns today, you will be my savior."
"These few books that almost made me risk my life to take them back, I'll give them to you as a thank-you gift!”
As he spoke, he took out a few dusty books from the snakeskin bag.
After stroking the book cover a few times with his cracked hand, he handed it to He Siyu with a reluctant expression.
" This is!!?"
He Siyu's pupils constricted as he looked at the book that was handed over to him!
These three books looked ordinary, but judging from the revised version on the right and the title on the left, these three books should have been written quite some time ago. At the very least, they should be books from the early years of the Republic of China.
The most important thing was that in He Siyu's eyes, these three books were actually wrapped in a ball of light!
This meant that these three books had already met the requirements to be entered into the system!
Three days ago, He Siyu felt that it was very difficult to collect books from the real world that were qualified to be recorded, and it was indeed very difficult.
But today, there were actually three books that were qualified to be recorded in front of him!
Thinking of this, He Siyu suddenly raised his head and stared at the raggedy Marquis, guessing his identity in his heart.
This unattractive old man who was reduced to begging for his life was actually an antique collector?
No! At the very least, he was someone who plundered antiques!
No wonder, no wonder. He was unhappy when she asked him to stop being a beggar. It seemed that she had misunderstood him.
In this era, although not many people realized how precious antiques were, compared to the 21st century, they did not need to spend much material resources and manpower.
However, in this era, people who were rich and willing to spend money to collect antiques were not ordinary!
He Siyu's heart was trembling. Three books that were qualified to be included, and all three of them were of green quality.
One of the books was surrounded by a green ball of light, and there were traces of red light spots. It was obvious that it had already reached the peak of the intermediate grade, only one step away from the advanced grade!
These three books were extremely valuable to He Siyu!
How could He Siyu not be excited? How could he not be so excited that his heart was trembling?
However, on second thought, this was a book that someone had exchanged their life for. If he accepted it with just two steamed buns, wouldn't he be taking advantage of someone's weakness and appear too heartless?
