Nightmare’s Call

at dusk.

In the alley, there are more than a dozen book stalls here and there.

In some cases, a piece of rag was spread out on the ground, and a piece of plastic paper was placed on it to place books.

Some are mobile carts, which are full of all kinds of pirated books, pirated tapes, CDs, etc., and small radios can also be seen.

It's not dark yet, there are already customers like Lin Sheng and Shen Yan hanging out in the alley, not many in number, but quite popular.

Many guests lingered, and some squatted directly in front of a bookstall to read books.

Up the alley there was a single source of light, a powerful light bulb without a shade. It was estimated to be 100 watts, illuminating the entire alley below.

Shen Yan mixed with the sparse crowd, and rushed to the first bookstall with great interest to scan.

She is very experienced. In order to hide at the book stalls, she often does not place the little yellow books in the most conspicuous position.

But she is the fastest to lock the hidden points of these small books.

Lin Sheng ignored her, and slowly scanned the large dictionaries on the bookstall by himself.

He had only swept halfway through the first book stall, and Shen Yan had already reached the third stall.

Lin Sheng was not in a hurry, he glanced around, but he didn't find the dictionary in Gulein's language, so he moved to the second stall.

He remembered that there should also be stalls here, and all kinds of translation dictionaries, although they are pirated, can definitely save a lot of money.

Sweeping through the stalls one by one, Lin Sheng found a dictionary in Gulein's language on the fourth stall in front of a book seller on the ground.

"How do you sell this?" Lin Sheng squatted down, pulled out a dictionary from a pile of messy old books and asked.

"Fifteen, no bargaining." The stall owner wore square glasses and a gray cloth mask, as if he didn't want others to know his face.

"Your words are not very clear, and the printing is not good. I will get a copy for five yuan." Lin Sheng countered.

"I can't get five yuan. At least ten yuan. The little brother seems to come here often, so he should know our market." The stall owner said quickly.

"Ten yuan." Lin Sheng shook his head and stood up as if to leave.

"All right, five yuan is five yuan." The stall owner decided decisively.

"Here." Lin Sheng quickly took out the change from his pocket, counted five yuan and handed it to the other party.

After giving the money, he picked up the book and flipped through it again.

The dictionary is legible and well reproduced, about as thick as a brick.

A pirated book like this usually costs at least twenty. After all, the genuine ones cost forty.

The reason why it can be so cheap is that the books are too unpopular, and there are very few people who need to buy the Gurren Word Dictionary.

Among the hundreds of books in the whole stall owner, there is only such a book.

And the key point is that the water chestnut of this dictionary has a lot of wear and tear, and the whole book is abnormally loose, and it seems that it will fall apart at any time.

"Nothing else, as long as it works."

As soon as Lin Sheng thought about the words recorded, he couldn't wait to go back and translate. Five yuan is more than his daily allowance, just save a little. Although it is a bit painful, but if you go back and sew it manually, the book may increase in value.

Soon, Shen Yan in front also approached mysteriously with a bag of books.

"How is it?" she asked softly.

"I bought a dictionary." Lin Sheng raised the book in his hand. The red-skinned and white-edged dictionary is in stark contrast to the little yellow book in Shen Yan's bag.

"You are?" Shen Yan stared at Lin Sheng with a distorted expression. Like meeting him for the first time.

"It's okay, go back and rest." Lin Sheng said calmly.

"Pretend so!" Shen Yan curled her lips. But she also understands Lin Sheng's temper, this guy has always been like this. This is one of the reasons why she likes to pull Lin Sheng out to cover.

"Okay, I've picked three books here, and we'll share them equally. One book costs four yuan, and the third book costs twelve yuan. Just give me six yuan." Shen Yan whispered.

"No money." Lin Sheng was speechless. In the past, he was willing to buy it because he would rent it out for others to make some money.

After all, in school, most students are not willing to spend several dollars to buy books, and this kind of books are good to read, if you really want to buy them yourself, it is not easy to hide them.

So if you are willing to spend a few cents to rent it, it is the best way. You don't need to collect books yourself, and you spend less money. Moreover, the content of the small book is also small, so you will get tired of reading it after a few readings. You can also look at others.

Another reason why Shen Yan pulled Lin Sheng was because she was a girl, and it was difficult for her to rent it out to other people. So Lin Sheng was the lessor.

"If you don't pay, then rent out this time." Shen Yan was confused.

"You can rent it to girls." Lin Sheng said calmly.

"Girls don't have as much money as boys!" Shen Yan was a little mad. Lin Sheng was cooperative before, why did he suddenly change his mind now?

"You can resell it. I have something to do recently, so I don't have time to do this." Lin Sheng really didn't want to continue renting books.

If the normal books are okay, but you can rent the little yellow books, that's really out of class.

"It's a lot of dollars a day, you really don't want to do it anymore?" Shen Yan was speechless.

"I don't want to do it anymore." Lin Sheng shook his head. "You are a girl's family. It's not good to do this, so don't do it for the time being. It's not good to spread the word."

"Aren't you blocking this?" Shen Yan was helpless.

"I can help you, transfer the book to Yao Daiyu." Lin Sheng mentioned.

Yao Daiyu is a student who is also renting books from other classes, and he also accepts small books. If he buys them and sends them over like this, he will definitely be happy, and it will save him running over to pick them out.

"Okay." Shen Yan was still a little unwilling.

Seeing her like this, Lin Sheng knew that this guy was unwilling and probably wouldn't listen to him.

But even as a friend, he had already said enough. How to decide is her business.

The two separated at the book stall alley and went back to their respective homes.

When Lin Sheng returned home, his parents left a note and went to the hospital to take care of his grandfather.

Only two plates of cold dishes were left on the kitchen table.

A plate of cucumber scrambled eggs, a plate of shredded pork with red pepper.

Lin Sheng warmed up the rice, and just had a quick meal with the cold dishes. Then he happily hid in the bedroom with the dictionary in his arms, and began to study the text that was memorized in his dream.

His bedroom is not only a place to sleep, but also a study for studying and doing homework.

In the evening, the night gets darker.

Lin Sheng turned on the desk lamp, and with the pale yellow light, he searched for the phrases in the Gulein text word by word.

About half an hour later.

"Interesting!" Lin Sheng combined the basic grammar recorded in the dictionary, and quickly translated the two words on the cover.

"It's really a standard Guren language! Obviously, I have never been exposed to this language family before, and apart from a little curved style, there is no mistake in these two words!"

Lin Sheng stared at the two phrases in front of him, not knowing how to describe them.

Obviously it was just something that appeared in his dream

"Then, these two words, translated. The general meaning should be."

Swish, swish, he slowly wrote out the translations one by one in the dictionary under the phrases.

'Sharp weapon, long sword, of, methods, notes, letters'

"Huh? Could it be a swordsmanship handbook?!" Lin Sheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized.

Gurren texts are translations of individual words. The basic syntax is not complicated. Often a letter may contain several meanings.

But the meaning contained in the connection made Lin Sheng startled at this moment.
