    🌺Highly recommended🌺If you have read a lot of cool articles, slap-in-the-face articles, cultivating immortals, and rebirth, you can read the following two books. They are really good articles, interesting, and have good literary skills. It is rare to write such a complex story and character relationship with such a reasonable logical structure. The first book, "Looking for the Love of Parents," is a story about a thief with firm beliefs. It is written in the period, full of rivers and lakes, and full of emotions. The growth of the little people at the bottom can resist the temptation of power and desire, adhere to the bottom line, and maintain their true intentions. The down-to-earth writing, realistic society, characters, and a group of sentimental people who struggled against the social chaos of a special era are just like the so-called gangster ways, white ways, and thieves' ways, and thieves also have their ways. The second book, with the main line of solving the mystery of the parents' murder, uses antiques as the entry point, setting off a bloody storm in the world. The plot has ups and downs, the treasure identification skills are dazzling, and the gambling battles in the rivers and lakes are exciting. The characters have distinct characteristics, the emotional and career lines are intertwined, the brotherhood is endless, the mentorship is profound, and the emotional experiences are touching and pathos.
