Chapter 141 No. 54 Courtyard in the West District of Beta Town
After the paper crane rushed out of the office, it flapped its wings, swayed, and walked against the cold wind.
On the way, he encountered several two-tailed squirrels that braved the cold and slipped out of tree holes to play. Those naughty rodents relied on their ability to glide in the air with their tails and once tried to capture the paper crane.
However, after all, it was a paper crane kneaded by the dean of Jiuyou Academy himself, so it only took a few more flaps of its wings to easily escape the squirrel's clutches.
Flying out of the office building, across the small square, and through the long forest path, the paper crane did not choose to fly directly over Linzhong Lake - although the lake has now been covered with a thin layer of ice, this has not reduced this huge lake at all.
There was a dangerous aura emanating from the sky, so it made a large circle, followed the direction of the promenade around the lake, and flew out of the school.
Its target is a large house in the west area of Beta Town.
Unlike the North District of Beta Town, which is full of low-level magicians, or the South District of Beta Town, which is full of poor low-level wizards, the West District of Beta Town has always been considered an upper-class community by the wizarding world - including O'Brien, Talbot,
Many wizarding families, such as the Karen family, the Zhongshan Jiang family, the Shuzhong Tang family, and the Metropolitan Blair family, all own their properties in this community.
Qingqiu Su family is naturally no exception.
Courtyard No. 54, located in the west area of Beita Town, is a large house with a beautiful garden. A house of this size is very rare in Beita Town, where land is at a premium.
Compared with the neighbors on the left and right sides of the yard, Courtyard No. 54 looks quite approachable - because there are neither tall blue-gray walls around this yard, nor are there those scary gargoyles with ferocious faces and dark colors that are always staring at them.
Not only did he not put up a wooden sign with the words "Private Domain" ten meters away from the gate to passers-by.
The layout of the entire courtyard is quite open.
The forearm-thick log fence is only about one meter high, and the gaps between the logs are big enough for an adult to insert a fist.
Outside the fence, there is a shallow stream. The water is ankle deep and crystal clear. The bottom is covered with colorful pebbles. From time to time, you can see small golden-red fish moving their heads and wagging their tails through the cracks in the rocks.
But - even in the middle of winter, this creek has no tendency to freeze, but flows as usual.
Outside the creek, there are a few large gray-white stones, leaning against the stream and located at the outermost side of the garden. However, there is no magic text carved on these stones, and they are more like pictures full of natural interest.
"Chairs" are used by pedestrians who are tired from walking to rest.
Inside the fence is a splendid garden - roses hanging on the fence, soft branches, round flowers, overlapping petals, lavender, pink, white, various colors stacked in the emerald green, very lively
It reveals a bit of solemnity; in addition, there are beautiful flowers such as roses, rhododendrons, chrysanthemums, and orchids, as well as inconspicuous little characters like foxtail grass, and there are also a few emerald green plants leaning on the side of the rockery.
bamboo.
There are also the small trees surrounding the flowerbed - there are not the tacky magnolias and ginkgos planted by many wizards in this garden, or the weird elders and locust trees - but neatly arranged small poplars.
and Paulownia. Because the trees are not very old, the skin of these small trees looks very clean, white and tender, and looks particularly colorful against the colorful flowers in the flower beds.
In short, if you use a poem to describe it, this garden can be called "Shaoyin's house with blue stone and red spring, and morning glory spreading around the fence".
Surrounded by this garden is an attic with red tiles and white walls and flying swallow ridges.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, when the sun is the most lively of the day, Su Man, the head maid of the mansion, was originally commanding a few blue elves to capture the flower sperm and grass sperm hidden in the flowers. This is what she does every day.
One of the must-do tasks in the morning.
If it's summer, she doesn't need to clean up these little things every day. But in winter, perhaps this mansion is the only one in the entire Beta town that still maintains such a colorful world. Naturally, it attracts a large number of people from all directions.
'uninvited guest'.
Especially this year, the return of silence has come earlier than in previous years. Many elves in the forest have been captured by hungry beasts. Those who escaped have no ability to dig another small hole, build a warm nest, and store
There was enough food for the winter. Therefore, this garden that was still in full bloom became the only chance for these elves to survive.
Because now the guards of Qingqiu Mansion are all young girls. Even there are a few elderly grandmothers who don’t like the charming scenery outside. They spend more time in the house, leaning on the pillows.
Take a nap. And the young girls are not lacking in love. Although they cannot raise these little elves openly due to their responsibilities, it does not prevent them from being flexible in their time and allowing these little guys to spend time in the garden every morning and evening.
Gather some nectar, fruits, etc. to satisfy your hunger.
Of course, this time must be before the mansion opens and after it is locked every day - for example, at noon, if a guest comes to visit and passes by the flower garden, he accidentally sees a group of elves wearing tattered grass blades with bare buttocks and screaming.
It would be outrageous to pass it in front of me.
Su Man's current job is to clean the garden before the owner of the mansion goes out.
"It's past ten o'clock now! The sun is almost at its peak! We can't explain why you guys are always here!" The head maid squatted in front of a clump of azaleas, looking at the couple who were burying their heads in the petals and licking the nectar.
Only Hua Jing persuaded her earnestly: "How about coming back later? After the lock is locked at night, I will prepare an extra bowl of honey for you...without adding water!"
Several flower sperm didn't seem to hear her words, and still persisted in burying their heads in the center of the flowers.
Seeing that the time was getting later and later, Su Man finally couldn't hold back anymore, shook her fingers, commanded a few Smurfs, lifted the flower sperm by their necks, and threw them out of the fence - whether they were flower sperm or grass sperm.
, although they do not like winter, it does not mean that they are afraid of the severe cold. On the contrary, there are many flower sperm that like to dance in the snowflakes when the winter plum blossoms bloom. It is just that their bodies consume a lot of energy in winter, and they can obtain
They have very little food, so wizards rarely see them in the cold winter.
After cleaning up the 'pests' in the garden, Su Man stood up, stretched, faced the bright sun, yawned with satisfaction, and began to consider whether to wake up the lady now.
At this moment, she saw a paper crane swinging through the big willow tree at the entrance of the courtyard, and hit the door sign with a splat.
