Chapter 2, a hint of bookish fragrance wafts over.

At first, his nose only felt a bit sour, but now it seems like something has opened up all the passages in his nose. Countless smells rush in, and his sense of smell has become incredibly sensitive, no, a hundred or a thousand times more sensitive than usual. He can even smell all the odors in the entire temple - the smell of sweat, foot odor, perfume, sandalwood, and even the scent of flowers and plants growing in the courtyard.

Next to him, the fat man with a black face looked at himself, his eyes spewing fire.

... ....

Got a cold, didn't you? I've been telling you to learn a few moves from me early on. There are many cold treatment and prevention techniques in Qigong, such as this precise acupoint massage... Dong opened his mouth and passionately expressed his understanding of Qigong.

Lin Yi scratched his head, but felt his nose getting more and more sour. Sour tears flowed out of his eyes, and his steps became unsteady, as if he was standing unsteadily.

Lin Yi opened his eyes and realized that he was still in front of the antique stall, to be precise, lying on the ground. In front of him was a charming and enchanting face, with a gaze that contained shyness and anger, looking at him.

The stall owner, Li Laoshu, and others had a peculiar look, as if they had just seen something extraordinary.

If he had the money, Lin Yi would definitely compensate for that snuff bottle, regardless of whether it was his fault or not.

Although Lin Yicai is only 23 years old, he is familiar with this series of books. The famous Japanese manga book, adapted into an animated series called "Saint Seiya". The "Pegasus Meteor Fist" and "Rising Dragon Ascending Mount Lu" in the book are particularly popular.

Li Laoshu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he didn't know what kind of trouble this kid might cause. If he faints again or something, he might end up blaming me. It's better to follow the Thirty-Six Stratagems and leave first. So he pretended to be unlucky and sighed, "I can't continue this business. It's really unlucky. I might as well pack up and go back to sleep." He packed up his small stall with numb hands and feet.

Lin Yiming realized what was happening. He was about to apologize when the fat man grabbed the woman and angrily shouted, "Why don't you leave? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?" He pushed through the crowd and left in a rage.

The third name is Dong Jianming, nicknamed "Dong Glasses". He is not well-groomed, often untidy, and sells relatively unique books. He likes to sell some books on qigong and supernatural abilities. While selling these books, he reads them on the side, often lying slanted in front of the book stall in a reclining Buddha posture, resting his head on his arm, and gesturing with the book for study. He only looks at the content when selling books, and as long as it's related to qigong, it's all very expensive.

He Xiangu sells books that are mostly children's books or magazines such as "Reader" and "Special Focus". She herself has studied ink and wash painting, and occasionally sells her own paintings of flowers, birds, and figures for four to five hundred yuan per painting. Buyers flock to her, of course, after buying a painting, they will definitely humbly seek advice and discuss the merits and demerits of the painting in a hotel room.

The content has been translated successfully. The Temple of Wealth's Old Book Market has around seven to eight stalls, but there are only four that frequently set up here. They are known as the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Old Book Market.

From the perspective of social class, Lin Yi believes that both himself and the vendor Li Laoshu belong to the same level, as they are both poor proletariats struggling to make a living. It is not easy to do business, as selling fake goods can lead to being caught, while selling genuine goods does not bring in much profit... They have to move from place to place, unable to do business in cold weather or set up their stalls in hot weather. Wind and rain force them to relocate, and frost and snow make their lives even more difficult... In short, it is not easy for people like them to make money.

Lin Yi didn't have the mind to listen to these, he rubbed his nose fiercely, his head spun for a moment, and his sense of smell recovered a lot, as if everything just now was a dream. But at this moment, a hint of scholarly fragrance drifted from Dong's book stall to his nostrils.

Hmm, why is it so soft and tender? Could it be fully ripe?

What's this taste? Banana, pineapple, cantaloupe? No, it's the taste of peach.A peach tree appeared in front of Lin Yi's eyes, with two watery peaches hanging there, with a red color that made him unable to resist reaching out to grab them.

The last "天王" is not a man, but a female book vendor named He Ying. Although not very beautiful, she is quite charming. She is famous in the book market as "He Xiangu". After setting up her stall, she often "saves all beings" and contacts some regular customers or wealthy bosses to establish "emotional connections" in nearby hotels. Therefore, she never lacks money to spend, and selling books has become a side business.

Lin Yi sighed again as he felt the 20 yuan in his pocket. If he hadn't been recently unemployed and had only this little money in his pocket, he wouldn't have been so affected. After all, he had broken someone else's thing, and it was still an antique...

Lin Yi likes reading books. When he was a child, he would always flip through the pages of the new textbooks distributed at school and enjoy the smell inside. As a result, he is very familiar with this kind of book fragrance. However, this set of comic books is like the fragrance of an orange being peeled.

Originally, with a fierce intention to seek justice, Li Mouse, who was about to make a big compensation, saw his appearance and got scared. He said, "Alright, consider me unlucky. I won't argue with you anymore—just go!" He appeared exceptionally generous.

Lin Yi squatted in front of Dong's book stall, not because he liked the qigong books on the stall, but because he felt that his nose seemed a little off.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have any money.

Next to them, the people revealed waves of wicked smiles. They had just seen clearly that this beauty was trying to help the guy who had fainted by pinching his philtrum. Unexpectedly, this guy was not honest and actually reached out and grabbed the beauty's chest. Impressive, the young people nowadays are really bold, even daring to take advantage of someone's husband right next to them.

Upon seeing this secret passage, Li Laoshu exclaimed, "No way!" The dog said, "I want to pass on this mess to me? Not a chance."

With a crisp sound, a slap directly woke Lin Yi up from his dream.

Three years of time can temper a person. Although Lin Yi is young, he has already seen through the disdain of the world, especially working at the grassroots level, where he has encountered a lot of people and things, and has a deeper understanding of the meanings of "class" and "level".

"Oh, it's nothing, just feeling a bit... a bit sour in the nose," Lin Yi wiped his nose.

Lin Yi: "..."

This scent is very faint, almost imperceptible. Following this scent of books, Lin Yi walked towards the book stall and saw a brand new set of comic books piled up on the side of Dong's glasses' book stall. Looking at the title, it turned out to be "Goddess Saint Seiya".

Li Laoshu is also a skilled person who runs the rivers and lakes. Upon seeing this, he preemptively shouted, "Little brother, since you're okay, let's forget about it. But you broke my snuff bottle, what are you going to do?"

Now Lin Yi is awake, although Li Laoshu claimed first that he was pretending to be unconscious in order to take advantage of the beauty, but anyone with discerning eyes can tell that it is related to the snuff bottle just now. Now it seems that there is nothing wrong, but who knows if there are any aftereffects. What if there are any long-term consequences? What should we do then?

Lin Yi is not from the city, he comes from the county. He is 23 years old this year and has just graduated from high school for three years. When he took the college entrance exam, he had serious problems with his subjects. Although his Chinese was good, he did too poorly in math and English and failed the exam. His family's financial situation was not good, and he didn't have the heart to retake the exam, so he came to the city to find work. But jobs are not easy to come by now, with too many people and too few positions. Even many college students cannot find suitable jobs, let alone a high school graduate like him. He has no education, experience, background, or social connections, so the only jobs he can get are as a security guard or a waiter in a hotel or KTV. Three years have passed in this way.
