Acai's Sky

Acai had indeed never seen such a market before. Many of them have disappeared in modern times, so it would be worth the trip if she could see one again.

I walked around the street stalls and looked at what the shops behind were selling.

Finally, she found Shusi, which is a bookstore. Ah Cai was very confused when she thought about her own miserable science student who was learning Chinese.

Ah Cai slowly walked into the antique bookstore, and a faint scent of ink hit her face.

The store is filled with all kinds of books, which are dazzling and eye-catching.

From heavy classic masterpieces to light-hearted and humorous popular novels, from historical biographies to travelogues, each book seems to have its own unique story and soul.

She strolled between the bookshelves, her eyes scanning the unfamiliar book titles, and inexplicably felt that these books were not just a pile of words, but also the crystallization of human wisdom and the inheritance of ideas.

They record the changes of time and witness the progress of the times. They accompany people through lonely times and give people spiritual comfort and enlightenment.

In this noisy and flashy world, it is a rare and happy thing to have such a quiet corner where you can immerse yourself in the sea of ​​books.

Just think about reading a book and drinking a cup of tea when you have nothing to do, which is also a simple enjoyment.

Ah Cai didn't buy any history books, as they gave her a headache. She ended up choosing some travelogues and strange stories.

Seeing that there were pens, ink, paper and inkstones for sale nearby, Ah Cai thought of the several sets of four treasures of the study that the King of Qi had given her. They were so expensive that she didn't dare to touch them.

I might as well buy some from those sold here and practice it when I have nothing to do. After all, she is studying Chinese, so it’s okay to pretend.

He looked up and asked the shopkeeper, "How much are these pens, inkstones, and paper?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Dear adventurer, if you are a beginner, just buy some cheap ones. Just enough for your beginner needs."

Ah Cai didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so considerate of her. "I just want to buy some to study. Can you recommend some?"

The shopkeeper pulled out several small sets of the Four Treasures of the Study from under the counter. "This is a complete set of the Four Treasures of the Study for beginners. I'll also sell you some inferior paper with some rough edges."

A Cai looked at these four treasures of the study carefully, but unfortunately she didn't know anything about them, so she just practiced blindly to show off.

Ah Cai looked at the shopkeeper and pointed at the calligraphy she had just seen and said to him, "I want all of them, and a few more."

The shopkeeper immediately turned around and took out a dozen calligraphy books from the bookshelf nearby and brought them back for Acai to choose from.

Ah Cai picked out all the cursive scripts with cursive writing, and the remaining seven were still understandable. "These are the ones I'll take. Add them together and calculate the price."

The shopkeeper picked up the abacus and started counting. Never mind the amount of money, just the way he counted on the abacus was enough to deserve a thumbs up.

The shopkeeper finished the calculation and said, "The total is 736 silver coins."

After paying the money and putting all the things into her backpack, A Cai left with Village Chief He and others who were waiting at the door.

After walking a few steps, I saw a rather unique store not far ahead.

There are many exquisite oil-paper umbrellas displayed outside this store. Some are brightly colored, while others are elegant and plain. Each one exudes a faint scent of ink.

These oil-paper umbrellas are like blooming flowers, vying with each other in beauty and being breathtakingly beautiful.

Some oil-paper umbrellas are colorful and eye-catching, as if they are the most gorgeous flowers in spring.

Others are light in color, simple and elegant, just like the noble chrysanthemums in autumn.

Each oil-paper umbrella exudes a faint scent of ink. The fragrance is subtle and lingers in the air, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace of mind.

If you look closely, you can find that the craftsmanship of these oil-paper umbrellas is extremely exquisite. Various exquisite patterns are painted on the umbrellas, including landscapes, flowers and birds, figures, etc. Each one is so lifelike and vivid.

These patterns not only have artistic value, but also contain profound cultural heritage, which makes people intoxicated.

Walking into the fan shop, it's like entering a colorful world. There are all kinds of exquisite fans on display, dazzling and overwhelming.

Some fans depict beautiful landscapes, with rolling hills, shrouded in mist, and gurgling water, sparkling in the water.

The painters use delicate brushstrokes and superb skills to vividly display the beauty of nature on the fans, making people feel as if they are in the fairyland in the painting.

Other fans are painted with vibrant flowers and lively birds: voluptuous peonies, elegant chrysanthemums, plum blossoms that defy the snow and frost... Each flower blooms with its own unique charm.

And those lively and lovely little birds, singing on the branches or playing among the flowers, add infinite vitality and vigor to the whole picture.

In addition, some fans are inscribed with beautiful poems and songs. These words are either elegant and unrestrained or dignified and beautiful, which not only reflects the profound skills of the calligraphers, but also conveys a kind of elegant cultural atmosphere.

When admiring such a fan, people can't help but be moved by the poetic feeling contained in it and indulge in the palace of literature and art.

Ah Cai was dizzy after seeing so much and couldn't bear to look any more. She was not a child so why would she be picky? She wanted all the fans.

He told the shopkeeper to pack up all the fans and also to take all the oil-paper umbrellas at the door.

I saw another shopkeeper playing the abacus beads, which sounded quite nice once you got used to it.

The shopkeeper bowed to Acai and accepted a silver coin and a copper coin from her.

"hiss"

This fan is so expensive, some fans cost 1000 silver coins. Oil-paper umbrellas are cheaper, you can buy one for just a few dozen copper coins.

Ah Cai held a round fan in her hand, and put away all the other things. No more shopping, just shopping, shopping...

Ah Cai, waving a round fan, followed Village Chief He and others back to Xiangshui Village.

Arriving at the homestead, Ah Cai took out the jade hoe and dug the ground desperately. After a few earthquakes, all the small things fled in all directions.

With a wave of his hand, he released a hundred bamboo buildings, arranged in two rows. He took out the [Seventh Level Formation] from his backpack.

[Whether to use the seventh-order formation]

"Yes"

Looking at the map of Xiangshui Village, he covered the entire Xiangshui Village with a formation, and set up a system where all adventurers and intelligent robots in Xiangshui Village could enter and exit freely.

Seeing Tong Jiayuan staring at him, he explained, "I just covered the entire Xiangshui Village with a seventh-level formation."

Tong Jiayuan nodded and said, "Hurry up and summon the list this time." After that, he handed the list in his hand to Acai.

Ah Cai summoned one by one according to the list, and finally released 500 warriors.

The elder who stayed this time was Tong Jiali. Tong Jiayuan trusted him very much and asked him to build the system slowly and contact him if there was anything.

Ah glanced at Tong Jiayuan, waved goodbye to Tong Jiali, and clicked [Exit].

He instantly appeared in Zhuyuan's bedroom, hurried downstairs, and summoned [Tong Jiazhi], [Tong Jiaren], and [Tong Eryi] one by one.

After saying good night to them, I went to the bedroom to rest. It was almost one o'clock in the morning.

I’m sleepy…
