They went back to stay the night and told Sima Lie and the others about school life. They returned early the next morning. Bei Gong Tang and the others went straight to class, while she asked for directions to the library. After walking around for more than half an hour, she finally arrived.
Looking at the somewhat dilapidated building in front of her, she really wanted to complain. If the academy was so rich, why didn't they build a better library?
She entered the library. Originally, she thought that since the outside looked shabby, the inside would look much better. At least, the inside and outside of the General's Residence's library were different.
He didn't expect to see a dilapidated scene after entering. The decor and bookshelves were tattered, and only the books on them were well-preserved.
Sima Youyue looked at the ancient traces and was curious about the history of this library.
Perhaps because everyone had gone to class, there weren't many people in the library. There were only a few students inside.
Next to the entrance was a shabby table. Behind the table was a shabby rocking chair with an old man lying on it.
Was this the gatekeeper that Wu Lingyu had told her to respect? He looked like an ordinary old man.
Just as she was sizing him up, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Freshman?"
"Yes."
"Leave the token and go in." The old man closed his eyes again.
Sima Youyue remembered the token that the Dean had given her when she was reporting to school. She took it out and placed it on the table. Then, she walked inside. After taking two steps, she turned back and asked, "Excuse me, where are the medical books?"
The old man opened his eyes and sized her up. "The last area on the third floor. The last area on the fifth floor. "
The first three floors of the library were filled with ordinary books. They were arranged according to the usual order. The medical department was arranged at the very top and the innermost position. The fourth and fifth floors were filled with rare books from each department. According to the order of the books, the medical department was also at the very end.
"Thank you." She thanked him and went up to the third floor.
She went to the medical books section and carefully selected some books. Then, she carried them to the door on the first floor.
"I want to borrow these books." She placed the books on the table and said.
That old man slowly stood up. Sima You Yue saw the way he was acting and wondered when the chair would break, causing him to tumble down.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.
The old man glanced at her, and she immediately retracted the smile on her face. She watched him go through the books one by one, took out two books, and handed the rest to her.
"These two books can't be lent out. In addition, each person can only borrow five books at a time."
There were actually books that couldn't be borrowed. However, she took a look at the two books. They were both taken from the last shelf. Thinking that the color of that shelf was different from the rest, perhaps the books on that shelf couldn't be borrowed.
"This is your brand. Take it, we can leave now. "The old man urged when he saw Sima Youyue deep in thought.
"Don't we need to put these two books back?" she asked.
"Can you find their previous location?"
"I still remember."
"Then you can go."
Sima Youyue took the two books and went up. The old man saw her find the previous shelf after a few turns, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.
The library was so big that people who came in for the first time would usually lose their way in this maze-like room. However, she actually remembered the location of the books after just one look. This came as a surprise to him.
Soon, she put the book away and came back. Seeing the old man lying back down with his eyes closed, she picked up the book on the table and her card and left. When she walked out of the library, she turned back to look at the old man. She didn't feel that there was anything special about him. Why did Wu Lingyu specially remind her?
After she went back, she found Wu Lingyu and asked her doubts. Wu Lingyu said lightly, "When did I say that he was a strange old man?"
"Didn't you ask me to be respectful to him? Isn't it because he has a strange temper? "She asked with wide eyes.
Wu Lingyu looked at her and couldn't help but knock on her forehead, saying, "I asked you to be respectful to him because his status is high and he has been in the academy for a long time. He deserves respect."
Sima Youyue was speechless. She must have misunderstood.
"When it comes to strange old men, the one with the worst temper is our master. Secondly, the old man in the inner courtyard is also strange. "Wu Lingyu said.
"The old man in the inner courtyard? Who's that?" Sima Youyue asked curiously.
Wu Lingyu's expression was strange when he mentioned the old man. This made her feel that something was wrong. He must have been defeated by that old man when he was studying here.
Seeing Sima Youyue's bright eyes, Wu Lingyu's eyes flashed with a trace of unnaturalness, saying, "You'll know when you have the chance to enter the inner courtyard. It's useless even if I tell you that you can't enter. You'd better read your books properly. "
Sima Youyue knew that she wouldn't be able to get anything out of him. However, when she entered the inner courtyard, she would definitely ask him about this matter properly.
Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, she went back to reading books. Moreover, with Wu Lingyu here, she could enter the Spirit Pagoda without worry and save a lot of time.
Thus, five days later, Sima Youyue went to the library again. She returned the five books from last time and borrowed another five.
"You've finished reading all of them?" The old man still had an impression of Sima Youyue and didn't expect her to return the books so quickly.
Sima Youyue placed the other five books on the table, saying, "I've finished reading them."
The old man didn't say anything and borrowed another five books for her. Five days later, she returned them again.
Today, she was reading in the Spirit Pagoda and felt a little tired. Just as she was about to rest, Little Spirit told her that Wu Lingyu was looking for her and she went out. The moment she went out, she saw Wu Lingyu coming in from outside.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Fourth Brother is injured." Wu Lingyu replied.
"Fourth Brother is injured? How did he get injured? "Sima Youyue asked anxiously.
"He got into an argument with someone and was injured by the other party." Wu Lingyu said, "Because it happened after class, the teacher usually doesn't care."
What he meant was that he wouldn't care about this either.
"I got it. I'll go take a look at Fourth Brother." After speaking, she ran off like a wisp of smoke.
Sima You Le was lying on the bed at this moment. Bei Gong Tang had already given him a healing pill, but his injuries were very serious and couldn't be healed immediately.
A group of people surrounded the house and the atmosphere was very heavy. Bei Gong Tang stood up and said, "I'm going to kill that person!"
Ouyang Fei, who was at the side, pulled her back, saying, "They're waiting for us to go now! If you go now, won't you fall right into their trap?! "
