On Thursday night, Zheng Qing lay in bed, tossing and turning.
This state has been very rare for him in recent weeks. The reason is also very simple. Jiang Yu suddenly mentioned the Shanglin Garden Spring Hunt in the afternoon.
The young teaching assistant counted on his fingers. In this busy spring, he actually needed to pay attention to three hunting games in a row - the private hunting game organized by the students, the spring hunting in Shanglinyuan, and the school's customary spring hunting in mid-April.
Thinking about this time last year, time passed like water. Except for the afterglow of the black tide and the roar of thunder, it left almost no deep mark on his freshman career. Unlike this semester, endless things were crammed into it.
In the timeline where he has grown a lot, he is still not satisfied.
The ruby ring flashed beside the pillow.
This was the message sent back to him by the devils of the seven deadly sins. Zheng Qing touched the gem on the ring. Lucifer confirmed that he would attend tomorrow's meeting. It was the last one to reply. Together with the previous six messages, that means seven
The devil can find time.
Zheng Qing sighed heavily and buried his head in the pillow, trying to suffocate himself.
The demons of the Seven Deadly Sins can only be regarded as scabies.
The biggest imminent worry is Shanglinyuan Spring Hunting.
Jiang Yu briefly introduced this event to him. It is an annual social hunt for wizards' children from aristocratic families. There is no doubt that Qingqiu Su family is also one of them. Zheng Qing doesn't know if Su Shijun will participate in this event this year.
But he believed that there must be many fans of Beauty Su showing up at this spring hunt.
He was worried about being shot in the dark while hunting.
Life was hard enough now - graduating early, studying, working as a teaching assistant, small hand assignments, the seven-headed devil, etc. - that he couldn't imagine returning to school after causing such gossip again.
Way to survive.
In other words, he was not even sure if he would come back alive if he went to participate in the Spring Hunting.
As soon as he thought about this, he couldn't help but sigh again.
"Where did you get so much gas in your stomach, and you haven't finished vomiting after vomiting for so long?" The fat wizard finally couldn't hold himself back, and shouted angrily in his tent: "...are you going to let people sleep?!
Tomorrow morning will be alchemy! If you don’t get enough sleep tonight, you will definitely be hypnotized within a minute in class tomorrow!”
The fat cat Tuantuan let out a 'ouch' at the right time, indicating that it was also tired of someone's endless sighing.
"Even if you have had enough sleep tonight, you will still be hypnotized in alchemy tomorrow." Dr. Xiao Da's complaints are always so sharp.
Zheng Qing did not engage in this kind of complaint meeting that he usually liked. After tossing and turning on the bed, he always felt that his mind was in chaos and he urgently needed an objective and sober suggestion.
He cleared his throat.
"I have a student," he cautiously assumed a premise, and then avoided all future troubles: "He is from Fringe College, of course, you don't know him... He is from the North District, um, he has received a call from Senior Sister Kolma
He was ordered to go to the Silent Forest to collect a kind of, um, very precious herb... But that herb was used by a very ferocious magical creature, um, it was a monster. Did the monster know? The kind of strange insect that insinuates.
...The herbs are guarded by a group of minnows, and the risk of collecting them is very, very, very high!”
"So much nonsense."
The fat wizard muttered and summarized Zheng Qing's 'example': "In other words, because the risk is too high, your student doesn't want to go, but he has to go?"
"Yes, yes," Zheng Qing nodded desperately in bed, his eyes filled with anticipation: "What do you think he can do without disobeying the great sage's orders and without angering those guys who are making insinuations?"
"Are those people making insinuations, or are you making insinuations?" Xiao Xiao's lazy voice sounded from another direction. Zheng Qing usually found this voice reassuring, but at this moment, he just wanted to stuff his mouth with horse dung.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He replied dryly.
"That student of yours, what's the name of the herbs you want to collect?" the doctor continued to ask.
"I don't know." Zheng Qing felt that his answer was too smart.
Xiao Xiao sneered: "The bug is a kind of insect that likes shade, coolness, water, and does not like to live in groups. If there are gregarious bugs somewhere in the Silent Forest, then their research value to the school will exceed most of the precious ones on the market.
Herbal medicines, even Senior Sister Kolma would not disturb the group of insects for those few herbs... From another perspective, if those herbs were more valuable than a group of insects, then Senior Sister Kolma would never bother collecting them.
Leave the task to 'your students'."
The doctor said the last four words very clearly.
Zheng Qing was dumbfounded when he heard this.
This is the disadvantage of not memorizing the encyclopedia, because any lie you tell will be easily torn to pieces by the heavy gravity of reality.
"But, maybe I heard it wrong, yes, maybe it's just a dragonfly, just one!" Zheng Qing stammered and corrected.
This time, even the fat man couldn't help but sigh: "It's just that the attack method of the insect is relatively rare. For wizards who are familiar with it, it is actually not that dangerous. The adult insect is only the size of a palm. In addition to spitting sand at people, it only attacks.
Human figure... Both of these attack methods have very big flaws. For example, if you wear a full-body dragon skin protective suit, choose to travel on a cloudy day, and then press it to the ground with one finger... Wizards born in the North District all
Is it so watery? How do I remember their experience in collecting in the wild, especially the gathering experience at the edge of the Silent Forest?"
Zheng Qing was completely silent.
call.
In the dark room, a small white stone smashed into Zheng Qing's tent from Xiao Xiao's bedside.
"What's this?"
"Bai Guizhi, if you tell lies, it will become very bright. You can try it." Xiao Xiao's voice was full of joy, like a cat playing with mice: "...Now, if you want to continue to ask for our help,
If you have any opinion, then hold the piece of jade and repeat your question."
Zheng Qing stretched out two fingers dejectedly and pinched the stone. The stone immediately emitted a faint white light, as if just a simple touch made him realize that the man in front of him was a big liar.
"It's Shanglinyuan Chunshou."
He gave up on himself and told the truth. Of course, it was in front of these two companions that he had the courage to say this: "I made an appointment with Jiang Yu years ago... I thought the scale was not big at the time, so I agreed directly.
... But now, right, the situation is so complicated... Will the Qingqiu Su family participate in the Shanglin Garden Spring Hunting?"
His words may seem a bit inconsistent, but miraculously, all the meanings he wants to express are expressed clearly and completely.
And more importantly, that patch of white stain did not get any brighter.
