When he heard that the wound would be healed tomorrow morning, Sha Mao's eyes brightened significantly.
Zheng Qing glanced at it warily.
Xiao Xiao also noticed Fat Cat's imminent move. He picked up one end of the hanging bandage with a quill and looked at it curiously: "This bandage of yours doesn't look like a simple thing..."
Zheng Qing made a 'tsk' sound and re-wrapped the white bandage around his arm.
The aura that lured the cat disappeared without a trace in an instant. The fat cat's expression dropped visibly. It stood up unwillingly and tried to scratch the bandage, but the moment its claws touched the bandage, its face became confused.
He showed an expression of uncontrollable disgust and bounced away as if he was electrocuted.
"like this."
Zheng Qing nodded with satisfaction and pointed at the fat cat rubbing its paws on the ground: "I don't know what magic is attached to this bandage - Thomas told me that this bandage was made specifically for the Egyptian Pharaoh's shroud.
Bu's family, in order to protect the bodies of the pharaohs, the Egyptian wizards worked out many ingenious spells, but I suspect he was bragging. This bandage at most used some of the principles of the shroud in the production process -
—But it can indeed cover the breath escaping from flesh and blood, it can also relieve pain, remove curses, and has the effect of expelling those who approach with ill intentions... If it weren't for this bandage, I think I would definitely not be safe.
They’re all back.”
Ouch!~
The fat cat swung its claws and roared dissatisfied not far away.
It's a pity that none of the three wizards paid attention to its anger, including Fatty Xin.
Compared with the howling of the fat cat, the fat wizard is more concerned about a certain detail in Zheng Qing's description just now: "Why didn't you sign in the office building? Relatively speaking, the office building should be safer..."
He flicked the risk prohibition contract in Zheng Qing's hand, with a hint of curiosity in his tone. The parchment was stimulated by external forces, and once again bloomed with floating golden runes.
These runes diverted Fat Cat's attention very well.
Zheng Qing put down the sleeves of his robe, moved his arms, and replied briskly: "You also discovered this, right? Thomas said, because there are many people in the office talking... well, or maybe there are too many people with mixed eyes, it is inconvenient to discuss this.
It's a secret thing. And at that time, everyone was busy because of the accident in the Silent Forest, so the timing was not appropriate."
"Thomas said?" Xiao Xiao was keenly aware of Zheng Qing's subtle attitude in his choice of words: "It sounds like you are not very convinced by his explanation?"
Zheng Qing hesitated for a few seconds.
Emotionally, it was very inappropriate to doubt the interviewer who once saved his life in Damingfang, but to be honest, he felt a little bit of intuitive discomfort with Thomas's abrupt 'suggestion' tonight.
It's just that there is no convincing enough reason for his 'discomfort'.
Therefore, he was worried that after he expressed his suspicions, he would be laughed at by his companions for being persecuted and delusional, just like the conversations after leaving the tavern in Colma on the day of the Forbidden Day.
But unexpectedly, before he could think of how to answer the doctor's question, the fat wizard next to him spoke.
"I feel a little strange too."
Fatty Xin had already finished the box of cakes and was taking a sip of a cup of strong tea that he didn't know where he came from. He frowned and smacked his lips: "Whether you sign a risk contract or carve out a small piece from Brother Zha's body
Meat, it always feels a bit inappropriate to cook it outside. There are so many offices in the office building, I don’t believe there are no empty rooms..."
"It's a bit fishy indeed."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly, changed the subject, and looked at Zheng Qing: "Since you feel suspicious, why do you agree to his suggestion directly? You can postpone it until tomorrow and find a safer time and place to submit the application form.
.”
Zheng Qing couldn't help but touch his bandaged arm.
Half a moment.
He then laughed at himself: "There is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. The ancients even knew that 'you can't catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den'. There is no reason for me to just hide and hide all day long... Instead of being in fear every day, why not
While I'm still in school and can rely on the school's strength, I'll use fishing bait to hook them out."
Although he was talking about 'relying on the power of the school', in fact he was wondering if there was an opportunity to take advantage of this possible crisis to make his husband happy.
Years later, he had been to Sanyou Bookstore more than once, but he still could not see the old man, and even the yellow fox was nowhere to be seen. This made him feel unsure no matter what he did.
"A thousand days to guard against thieves? Hide and hide?"
Xiao Xiao keenly caught Zheng Qing's unfinished intention, raised his eyebrows, and his tone became serious: "Which thief do you want to catch? Do you think Assistant Teacher Thomas is related to the crow?"
"crow?"
Fatty Xin looked at the cake box that he had emptied in astonishment, with a gloomy expression on his face - Zheng Qing originally thought he would be furious - but after hesitating for a moment, the fat wizard began to squeeze his muscles seriously.
From the flexors to the elbow muscles, from the triceps to the deltoid muscles, until he reaches his round belly.
While touching, he muttered: "Brother Zha, how long ago did you notice that your physical body began to change? Is there any special reaction in your body? What about magic power? My foundation is better than yours, and my physical body should be strengthened.
Taller than you!"
Zheng Qing rubbed his forehead.
"Those crow experiments are very dangerous. Don't forget what happened to the dark wizard Whateley we were chasing during the winter vacation. My situation is very special and has no reference value to you! And those cake boys were given by Thomas based on a risk contract.
He will not do anything with my nutritional supplements at the risk of offending the contract."
After reminding the fat wizard, Zheng Qing turned to look at Xiao Xiao:
"Also, I didn't say that Thomas must be a crow... He may have been deceived, and he may have acted as a broker for crows unconsciously, or it may be just my random thoughts and a relapse of persecution paranoia. Anyway, it's just a matter of hunting rabbits and hitting them.
Earning things...Of course, the reason I promised Thomas was not just to catch those crows."
As he spoke, he took out a small glass bottle from the gray cloth bag. The bottle was filled with dark-colored plasma, spinning and jumping along the smooth and transparent wall of the bottle like a living creature.
Zheng Qing tapped the glass bottle with his fingertips and nodded with satisfaction: "It can be used for a while. I almost missed the mission of the three-pronged sword this month... I didn't pay attention at first, but when I need it these days, I just I found that it was becoming more and more difficult for me to get some of my own blood. If I used too little force, the oily skin would not be broken, but if I used too much force, it would hurt... It really hurts! It hurts so much! "
He seemed to remember some bad memory and shook his head vigorously.
"Anyway, this matter tonight is a win-win for me!" He raised the bottle of plasma, as if he saw a handful of clear jade coins, flowing down from the sky.
