Aristotle said that people in the world are divided into three categories: "living people", "dead people" and "people who go to sea". Generally speaking, he was complaining that life and death of people who go to sea are unpredictable, and they are often in a state between life and death.
In Phuket Island, especially in the North District, this statement is often changed into three categories: "living people, dead people and people who enter the forest".
Although the words are used differently, the meaning is the same.
Entering the Forest of Silence, life and death are determined by fate, good or bad luck lies in the sky. You can die at any time, or you can live forever.
A week ago, if someone mentioned this sentence to Zheng Qing, Zheng Qing would probably laugh at it. When he was in a good mood, he might talk a few more about the anecdotes about the Silent Forest that he had heard. There would definitely be no more associations.
.
After all, as freshmen who have just entered the school for half a year, at least for two years, their relationship with the Silent Forest will only be hunting in winter and spring every year, and the short time for outing in spring. The range of entry into the forest will also be strictly restricted, and this
For a period of time, the school will also arrange sufficient defense forces to guard the left and right sides, so that these young people will not suffer in the woods.
But now, if someone whispers in Zheng Qing's ears, "living people, dead people, and people who enter the forest," the young public-funded student will definitely roll his eyes and resent him. Those who are unlucky may even receive a punch from him.
The change during this period was naturally due to the contract that Zheng Qing and Kolma signed under the supervision of the Rat Immortal during their recent outing. The contract required Zheng Qing to fully assist Kolma in finding the newly discovered secret land near the Silent Forest.
This means that this semester, Zheng Qing will need to sneak out of the school from time to time and enter the dangerous forest of silence. And it is very likely that he will need to enter the depths of the forest of silence.
Even if Zheng Qing has some secret connection with the newly born secret realm, it does not mean that he can easily find it in the woods. In addition, he was in danger several times last year, including Su Shijun and many professors.
He warned Zheng Qing not to leave the protection of the school's guardian formation at will, which further increased the psychological burden on the young wizard.
Every time he thought about it, he sighed and became filled with sadness.
"It's just a scratch on the skin, do you need to sigh so much?" A crisp voice chirped in Zheng Qing's ears, with a hint of disdain in his tone: "You are a government-funded student... I have never seen a government-funded student as weak as you!"
The person who spoke was the nurse on duty at the school hospital, a young witch with a round face, short in stature, and very lively. In the short time since Zheng Qing was admitted to the hospital, she had become familiar with everyone in the ward.
As for the reason for being admitted to the hospital, it was because in the practical class this afternoon, a conflict broke out between Alpha students and students from Jiuyou Academy when they were choosing pairs to practice magic, and the two sides got into trouble. As one of the male representatives, Zheng Qing naturally did his part and rushed in.
At the front, I was hit by several small magic spells from the opponent.
Fortunately, the other party didn't use any evil spells - but it was by no means as simple as 'bruising the skin' as the little nurse said - according to the therapist's words, Zheng Qing can leave tomorrow morning.
Hearing the nurse's disdain, Zheng Qing pulled down the corner of his mouth and made an ugly smile: "I haven't finished my homework today. Can I leave early today?"
As a student of Jiuyou Academy, this reason is very convincing.
Hearing this, the nurse lady sighed sympathetically, and then shook her head decisively: "No, even if you just scratched a layer of oily skin, you need a formal discharge certificate from the therapist if you want to be discharged... Dr. Ma is very busy now
, those lunatics at Starry Sky Academy started fighting again, and many people broke their bones, so you just stay here honestly tonight."
Patients with broken bones are naturally more important than patients with scratched skin. Zheng Qing has no reason for the therapist to leave those seriously injured patients to attend to his own trivial matters.
After the nurse shook her head, she suddenly felt a bit resentful: "Tell me, what's going on with all of you college students who don't study magic in class and fight every day? Those bastards from Starry Sky Academy used to be diligent, which is understandable.
It has something to do with their damn school philosophy.”
"What now? Why are you nine students and Alpha people so crazy? A large number of people are delivered every three days, and you have to work overtime every three days! I haven't had a vacation for almost a month! Do you still want to live?!"
The crisp whining sound was like a machine gun, crackling and firing at the students in the entire ward.
Everyone is hiding in their tents, quietly, pretending that they don't exist.
It wasn't until the nurse distributed medicines to each hospital bed, completed the examination, and left that everyone let out a sigh of relief. But when he thought about all kinds of things tomorrow, Zheng Qing fell down on the hospital bed dejectedly.
I don't want to think about it anymore.
"Hoola!"
The curtain of the hospital bed next door was forcefully torn open, revealing Fatty Xin's big, round, green face. In the afternoon practical class, he was beaten to death by a rotten egg spell from the thin-eyed wizard named Julian from the Alpha Academy.
It hit my head, not only infuriating the surrounding friends, but also turning my head all green.
Although the therapist at the school hospital eliminated the stench from the fat man's body in three strokes, the remaining green color was all on his face. In order to avoid secondary damage caused by the healing magic, the hospital recommended that the fat man stay in the ward for two days.
Days later, relying on the power of time to complete the follow-up treatment work.
Since the green color on his face would fade away the next day, the fat man didn't struggle and stayed in the ward obediently.
"We didn't initiate the fight." The fat man watched the door of the ward close tightly before complaining to Zheng Qing: "Could it be that the enemy hit me on the left side of my face, so I want him to hit me on the right side too?"
?”
Seeing the fat man's big green face, Zheng Qing subconsciously covered his nose and shrank back. The power of that rotten egg in the afternoon made Zheng Qing never want to try it again. Just thinking about it made him want to vomit.
Zheng Qing's little actions obviously caused a little irritation to the fat man.
"Why are you hiding? It's boring again!" Xin opened the tent further, moved his head closer to Zheng Qing, and opened his eyes wide: "After all, you are also the captain of our hunting team, can you
You can’t act a little more stable!”
"Are you as prudent as Dr. Xiao?" Zheng Qing retorted angrily: "Backing off in the face of battle is not prudent, it is cowardice!"
"If you are able, tell this in front of the doctor."
"Just say it." Zheng Qing hummed unconfidently, but his body involuntarily shrank down, trying to get back into his bed.
Fatty Xin sneered secretly, but because the topic came to Xiao Xiao, he remembered the topic he wanted to talk about when he first came up: "Speaking of which, isn't tomorrow a holiday? Why are you in such a hurry to do your homework today?"
Zheng Qing rolled his eyes and said angrily: "It was originally an excuse... I have been in a lot of troubles recently. I just want to go back early and do what I need to do instead of lying on the hospital bed stupidly."
