Back at the "Yuelai Inn" where I stayed, the fashionable girl who was originally serving at the front desk got off work and changed to a middle-aged aunt wearing a black floral dress.

The aunt didn't know them, and she was really dedicated to her job. It took a long time to explain that the three of them lived here, took the keys, and entered the house.

On a hot day, Cao Yidao and Huang were both sweating profusely and took a washbasin to take a shower respectively.

Lin Yi was also sweating, but the conditions in the inn were too primitive, with only one bathroom, and men and women were waiting outside, waiting for the inside to clean up before entering.

Lin Yi was born with a cleanliness and was unwilling to squeeze with these people, so he fed water, brought a basin, hid in the house and wiped his body with a towel.

The cold water wiped the body, which was cool and comfortable, making people unable to help but moan. After finishing the washing, Lin Yi then turned on the TV comfortably, blew the fan, ate a piece of watermelon, and saw the treasure appraisal program on the TV. Lin Yi suddenly remembered the disguised book "On Protracted War" he bought at the "Chongwen Old Bookstore". He felt that the appearance of the book was a bit too ragged, and it was a precious thread-bound book. I don't know if it could be repaired with the spiritual energy on his body.

He did it when he thought of it. Anyway, Cao Yidao and Huang were not there, so Lin Yi crossed his legs and put the broken book in front of him, held his breath and concentrated his mind, exhaled two wisps of spiritual energy from his nose, and coiled around the book "On the Protracted War" and started the restoration work.

Lin Yi, who had had two restoration experiences, thought that this restoration would be easy, but unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes again, the book did not change at all, and was still in pieces. Especially the mouth of the book that Lin Yi wanted to repair was still rough, as if it was not neatly cut.

"What's going on? Why is it not working?" Lin Yiqiyi thought he was not focused enough, so he sat cross-legged again, looking at his nose, looking at his nose, exuding his thoughts, and exhaling two wisps of spiritual energy from his nose.

The spiritual energy was like two lively little snakes, surrounding the broken book, but it was just not repaired.

Lin Yi waited patiently, thinking that as long as he worked hard to do it, he would succeed, but...

A minute has passed.

Three minutes passed.

More than ten minutes have passed.

The spiritual energy emitted by Lin Yi still lingers around the book, but does not perform the next step of repair.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and was dying with spiritual energy. Sweat flowed down his forehead, and the broken book was still the same; a gust of wind blew, and the pages clattered, and Lin Yi gave up.

...

fail.

Lin Yi failed to restore the book for the first time.

how so?

Lin Yi couldn't figure it out, so he looked at the book "On Protracted War" carefully. That's right, it's a thread-bound book, and it's also considered an ancient book. Well, it's a red document to be precise.

Compared with the tea scriptures and Buddhist scriptures I have repaired before, it seems that this book is a printed copy, while those books are printed copy.

Is this the reason?

The engravings were printed by ancient engraving workers with engraving knives and strokes, which condensed their blood and sweat and their souls, while the lead engravings were not so complicated and hard.

If I remember well, when I repaired ancient books the last two times, Lin Yi would involuntarily see the figures of wooden carving workers in his mind, but this time there was nothing.

Lin Yi shook his head and thought, there are two possibilities for this matter. First, his spiritual power may not be sufficient, and he cannot repair the printed ancient books for the time being. Second, his spiritual power can only repair the printed ancient books from beginning to end, and is immune to other versions.

Of course, Lin Yi didn't want it to be the second reason. In his opinion, maybe one day his spiritual power is strong enough, and perhaps this problem will be solved.

...

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about it, the door was opened. Cao Yidao walked in with a towel and wiped his face, muttering, "Your friend named Huang is really awesome. I let him in after washing and going out, but he gave the opportunity to an old lady... If the beauty still said it, after all, it is natural for heroes to love beauty, but that old lady is almost fifty years old, and there are more folds on her face than my soles. I don't know what medicine Huang took wrong. Is there an Oedipus complex?"

"Ahem," Lin Yi felt that Lao Cao's mouth was too poisonous. Fortunately, Teacher Huang didn't hear this.

"Brother Cao, you speak as a snack. Then Teacher Huang is not an ordinary person. He will tear you down later, don't blame me."

"Just him? I don't dare." As he said this, Cao Yidao's voice lowered three or four degrees.

Seeing this, Lin Yi was about to change the topic, but he was not afraid that the book "On Protracted War" that he was wearing was seen by Cao Yidao.

"Huh, what is this?"

Lin Yi didn't hide it from him, "I bought it from the used bookstore here this morning. How about you help the staff? "

When Cao Yidao saw that it was a broken book, he was careless. When he picked it up and opened it, he was stunned.

Lin Yi took his expression in his eyes and said with a smile: "It's not bad, it looks like a 'disguised book', it should have been published in the Jin-Cha-Hebei region." Lin Yi expressed his guess.

"Gudu." Cao Yidao swallowed and spitted, "Brother, tell me honestly, did you really do this?"

Lin Yi nodded, "Yes."

"Don't lie to me, why are you catching up with this good thing? You said, "Dog, this is definitely a good thing!" Cao Yidao was a little excited, "Your brother, I have been playing with books for so many years, and I have never seen such a red disguise book, let alone the work of Taizu. The two words are amazing!"

Although Lin Yi was very happy and even a little proud, feeling that he had picked up the treasure, he still felt that Cao Yidao said this seemed a bit exaggerated.

Cao Yidao and others saw Lin Yi disagreed, and smiled and said, "Brother, you still look a little tender and don't understand the true value of this disguised book, especially the Taizu's work of "breasted book", which will be even more valuable."

"Macross?" Lin Yi's mind came up with a new word.

Cao Yidao smiled proudly, "Why, haven't you seen it yet? This is the famous broodendron!"

Lin Yi suddenly realized that the legendary "breasted version" was such a thing.

...

The so-called "bristled version" is a publication version, which generally refers to a book or magazine bound into a book without cutting, making the book edges uneven and furry, full of unique natural and simple beauty, which is very unique. Some "bristled versions" are cut by readers by themselves when they buy them and read them, which makes readers feel more intimate about the "bristled version". Lu Xun was one of the early enthusiasts and advocates ofbristled versions.

In the 1930s, books and magazines such as the binding form of burlap books were once a popular fashion and were very popular. At that time, Lu Xun's "Collection of Extraterritorial Novels" was a typical burlap book when it was first published. On April 10, 1935, Lu Xun wrote in a letter to Cao Juren: "When the "Collection of Jiwai" is bound, can I leave ten uncut books for me? I was a burlap party ten years ago and still have a temper

There is no change. But if you are troublesome, then forget it, and you may not be willing to listen to binding. They are opposed to burrowing. "On December 11, 1946, Tang Tao published an article "The "The burrowing Party" and "Social Sages"". He said: "I am also one of the members of the burrowing Party. When I buy new literary and artistic books, I often pay attention to unbroken edges. After buying them, I personally cut them with a knife one by one. I think Cuba's burrowing in 1951 was a unique interest."

Looking at the edge of this book "On the Protracted War" again, it really seems that it has not been cut much, it is rough and rough. I felt uncomfortable when I read it carefully, but after reading it carefully, it is a kind of simplicity and primitive...

A book can become a rare advantage after changing its angle. This is really a bit evil.

It's a pity that Lin Yi has read a lot of Tang Tao's works and has also seen records of "broken borders" in many Taoshu notes and reading notes. However, there was a book in front of him, but he was still unaware of the goods. If it weren't for Cao Yidao's reminder, Lin Yi would probably be in the dark, thinking that the edges of this book were too rough and uncomfortable to read, and even wanted to use spiritual energy to repair it - fortunately, it would have ruined a rare and good book.

No wonder Cao Yidao was praised as a "second-grade player" by Xu Haoming. He only made a first-grade player after picking up a few times. Old Cao is still a little powerful, at least in terms of experience and eyesight. Lin Yi can't accept it.

Seeing that Lin Yi was awakened by his words, Cao Yidao continued to analyze the precious value of this book for Lin Yi.

In general, this book "On the Protracted War" has three characteristics:

First, the binding method of this book was not a common paperback in the Republic of China period, but a thread-bound version, especially a thread-bound red document, which was even rarer. You should know that during that period, resources were scarce, and many books could not even be found, so many earthen paper and straw paper appeared. The cost of thread-bound versions was generally very high, and the workmanship was cumbersome, and it was rarely used in promoting red culture. This thread-bound version "On the Protracted War" can be said to be more precious.

Second, when looking at the specific content of this book, it seems that there is no modification to the original text. Compared with the single-line books and selected works published after the founding of New China, you can better understand the original appearance of the article. To put it bluntly, this book is the most primitive and original work of Taizu's theory. It can be said to be original and has great historical research value.

Third, it is not only a disguised book, but also a burly book. A burly book, or a burly book, means that the book is bound without cutting edges, allowing readers to cut it out page by page to preserve its original natural appearance. The number of burly books is only a handful of, and this little bit can double its value. Therefore, this "On the Protracted War" burly book has three major characteristics: the disguised book and the burly book. It has very few existing books, and its documentary value and version are far higher than that of other burly books.

After telling Lin Yi these things, Cao Yidao sighed again, "It's really rare to die - you are really lucky. Why did you encounter such a once-in-a-lifetime good book? If I guessed it well, the value of this book is at least more than 100,000." He looked envious and jealous.

With a "gulp", Lin Yi swallowed and spitted. To be honest, he has never seen anyone on the market. He can even calmly respond to 3 million Buddhist scriptures, but this broken book he didn't think much about is actually worth 100,000, which is incredible.

It seems that my knowledge reserves are still lacking in Taoshu. If I hadn't relied on my sensitive nose, I would have missed many good books. Even if I had opened my eyes, I would have been as unaware of the goods as a blind man, and I almost spent my energy to repair such rare books. It would be ridiculous.

Lin Yi laughed at himself for a moment and couldn't help but shake his head.

Cao Yidao misunderstood and thought Lin Yi disagreed with his analysis, so he shouted: "No matter whether you agree or not, you have gone through two great fortunes this year, and you have to ask for a meal no matter how much you don't say it, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't spend a thousand or eight hundred yuan."

Invite guests to dinner?

Lin Yi was not afraid of this, not to mention that he didn't eat the bowl of noodles at noon today, and was already hungry, so he smiled and said, "No problem, but I have to call Teacher Huang first... By the way, I have a friend, so why not call them together."

Cao Yidao was so surprised, "Friend? What friends do you have here besides me and coach Huang? Call me here and get to know each other quickly. Everyone in the world is brothers--Of course, it would be better if you were a woman!" He smiled a little.
