Accompanied by a violent shaking, a harsh scream sounded in Zheng Qing's ears.【】
He squinted and judged the blurry shadow in his sight through the little light that leaked between his eyelids.
Short, watermelon head.
It's Xiao Xiao.
"Why are you so crazy!" Zheng Qing muttered, pulling the sheet around his waist and trying to cover his head again.
After being arrested by the school working committee yesterday, he had been busy from noon to late at night. He originally thought that he would be exempted from the patrol mission in the early morning, but unexpectedly, the black-handed and cruel old man waved his wooden stick and drove a group of students with weak hands and feet along the usual route.
The patrol route went in a big circle.
Zheng Qing didn't even know how he got back to the dormitory in the end.
The impression in his mind, apart from the dark woods and the gurgling lake water, was all that was left was the constant sound of insects and the sore and heavy legs and feet.
Even after falling asleep, these bad things still haven't disappeared.
It's just that they changed their identities and continued to harm Zheng Qing in the name of nightmare.
Throughout the night, Zheng Qing carried a heavy schoolbag, hunched over, and trudged through ankle-deep mud.
He doesn't know where he comes from and where he wants to go.
He just knew secretly that he needed to move forward.
keep walking forward.
So, go, go, go.
Endless.
Even though he knew he was in a dream, Zheng Qing couldn't help but curse.
Don't be so tormenting people!
He must ask Professor Li for some sleeping pills on Monday morning, Zheng Qing swore fiercely in his heart while wading through the muddy pond.
Otherwise, if nothing happens to the elves, I am afraid that I will fall into a long sleep due to neurasthenia in advance.
In this way, Zheng Qing had been walking in a dream for an unknown amount of time. Zheng Qing had fallen into a half-asleep and half-awake state while walking. When he finally felt a little rested, it was already bright.
Xiao Xiao was so mad that he kept making noises in his ears, making it impossible for him to sleep peacefully.
"Quack...poof...squeak..."
A sharp, strange sound, like the sound of air leaking from a boiler, continued to echo in Zheng Qing's ears.
He half-opened his eyes and tried to sit up.
Zheng Qing felt as if his eyelids had been scalded with boiling water, hot and sour.
A gloomy energy surged and accumulated in his chest, ready to explode at any moment and burn the short boy to ashes.
"You'd better have a better reason." He muttered in a vague voice, blinked his eyes hard, and squeezed out a string of hot tears.
My vision suddenly became much clearer.
Xiao Xiao stood in front of him, holding a green-skinned frog in his hand and squeezing its belly hard.
The frog's eyes bulged, its four short legs kicked the air hard, its mouth almost turned up on its head, and it made a sharp and harsh cry from its throat.
"Quack! Quack... quack... quack!"
"Where did you get such a monster!"
Zheng Qing, a little angry at getting out of bed, fiercely grabbed the frog and gave it a firm squeeze.
"Crack!"
The frog turned into a puddle of mud and leaked out from between his fingers.
"The latest product from Hook Brothers Watch Shop claims that the alarm clock will never need to be renewed a second time. The market price is one silver dime and eight coppers." Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses: "Including my mental loss and lost work time,
Chenghui two silver horns."
"You'd better have a better reason," Zheng Qing repeated what he just said, touching his eyelids with his hands. He felt that his whole face was swollen: "Otherwise, I'm not sure if you will follow.
In the footsteps of that mud frog."
It was simply unforgivable. He tried to take a deep breath.
But Dr. Xiao Da's few words completely dissipated all the momentum he just mentioned.
"This paper crane belongs to you, right?" Xiao Xiao raised his index finger. On his fingertip, a blue paper crane with drooped wings was resting on it feebly: "If he can't wake you up, he will come to pester me.
...It’s so bad that I can’t even write.”
Zheng Qing suddenly woke up.
He took the paper crane and roughly tore it apart. Looking at the familiar handwriting on the letter paper, he suddenly became more awake.
"It looks like it failed in vain," Dr. Xiao Da showed a strange smile on his face and added: "Once again."
Zheng Qing ignored him.
"Strange!" He murmured, eyes widened, looking over and over at the letter paper, carefully comparing the runes and spells written on the edges of the paper, and was puzzled: "Why can't I find it?"
This paper crane is his messenger to Elena.
Because there is an interview with the First University Student Union at three o'clock this afternoon on Sunday, which conflicts with the tutoring time agreed with Elena, Zheng Qing expressed his apologies and hoped that this week's tutoring could be changed to a different time. In the letter
, he also suggested that another time could be arranged after next week’s daily classes to make up for this weekend’s classes.
However, from Saturday morning until now, Sunday noon.
Zheng Qing flew out more than ten paper cranes but all returned without success.
No one delivered his letter to Elena.
It is already 12 o'clock at noon on Sunday, less than two hours before the time agreed with Elena. And the interview with the Student Union must not be rushed, and it needs to be done in advance.
"Could she be angry?" Zheng Qing looked through his letter in panic and looked up at Xiao Xiao.
"Angry?" Xiao Xiao raised his head in surprise, repeated the word, and shook his head: "Angry, at least you have to know why you are angry... She didn't even pick up the paper crane or open the letter, so she didn't know you would
Why are you angry because today's tutoring is canceled?"
Zheng Qing immediately realized that he was confused because he was concerned.
"Then this isn't scientific...it's not magic." He raised the letter in his hand.
Under the sun, the cyan letterhead reveals a faint halo, looking delicate and soft.
"Why can't the paper crane find her?" Zheng Qing put down the letter and looked at Xiao Xiao again.
"Many possibilities." Dr. Xiao lived up to his nickname and simply gave a few answers: "Maybe she is in some closed secret realm, maybe she is outside the scope of the school - maybe when we speak
, she is happily chopping up the cubs of monster beasts in the depths of the Silent Forest... Otherwise, even the wizard who uses the transformation technique, Paper Crane, can accurately find them."
"Will she be in any danger?" Zheng Qing couldn't sit still when he thought of the lot of sand still scattered on the campus: "Should we report it to the school? Do you know how to get into the girls' dormitory? How about we go together?
Go look for it?"
"This is the First University, the safest protective circle covering the entire wizarding world. No wizard can disappear silently under this protection... Maybe it's just their gypsy witches doing some mysterious rituals. This
Under such circumstances, wizards are prohibited from contacting the outside world."
"Moreover, she is a transfer student and the messenger of the Gypsy witch," Xiao Xiao thought for a moment, then added: "They do not live in the girls' dormitory... International students have their own separate dormitory area, canteen, and social circle.
."
"So, I suggest you apologize to her in Lao Yao's spell class on Monday."
Zheng Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go to the library first.
The make-up lesson time he agreed with Elena was at two o'clock in the afternoon.
If she still hasn't come at two o'clock, leave the letter on the desk.
However, until half past two, that charming fragrance still did not appear in the library.
Zheng Qing looked at his pocket watch and knew he couldn't wait any longer.
The student union interview was about to start in half an hour, and he had to go to Pavilion No. 11.
