Chapter 167: A Way to Resolve the Fat Man's Appetite
Due to time constraints, Zheng Qing and the two witches' journey to the Silent Forest lasted only one morning before it ended.
Because today's Saturday, Zheng Qing needs to go to Professor Montella's laboratory as an assistant in the afternoon, and report to the school working committee in the evening to participate in the night patrol of Linzhong Lake, which is the punishment for leaving the team without permission on the last forbidden demon festival - Zheng Qing feels that since he entered the school for more than half a year, the place he is most familiar with in the school is not the library or self-study room, but the Linzhong Lake at night.
Dances, adventures, patrols, etc., he left so many memories of the side of this great lake.
Of course, for Yelena or Colmar, it was not Zheng Qing who accompanied them in the Silent Forest today, but a mysterious black cat who could only talk.
As for the results of the morning search, it was not unexpected.
Nothing.
According to Senior Sister Colmar's explanation, this is because there are too many imbalances in the magic power of the Silent Forest, which leads to frequent spatial warping and overlapping phenomena in the entire forest, and a large number of exploration spells often used by wizards have failed.
Metaphysics greater than the uncertainty of misty divination.
Zheng Qing also quietly touched his silver-shelled pocket watch several times in private, but he didn't sense any traces of stable dimensional fluctuations. This made the haze in his heart a little heavier.
He had reason to believe that the 'Heavy Yin Image' obtained by Fei Rui's divination had some mysterious connection with himself. And the only way to solve the hamster's problem is to expose Dr. Duzem's seclusion himself.
It wasn't the answer he wanted.
Confused thoughts, misplaced identities, and upside-down schedules kept the young scholarship student up all day Sunday, and until Monday morning's Charms class, he was a little confused.
So much so that when Lao Yao asked him to get up and answer, 'What are the advantages and disadvantages of the mantra memetic decomposition method compared to the dimensional decomposition method', he stood in a daze for a long time before reading the answer according to the textbook under Xiao Xiao's whispered reminder.
This led to the second half of the spell class, Zheng Qing had to stand up from his seat very consciously to listen to the class, in order to concentrate and deal with the stern glances that Lao Yao threw from time to time.
Fortunately, he was sitting in the back rows of the classroom, but he didn't attract too many strange looks from the other students in the class.
"Don't be groggy all day long, cheer up, otherwise your girlfriend will be snatched away!" At noon, while eating at noon, the fat man Xin sipped the nutritious soft-shelled turtle soup, and at the same time hated the iron and taught the public scholarship students: "When you were in a daze in the morning, I saw Matthew's guy sneaking up to Yelena and chattering for a long time...... This is blatant contempt for you!"
Matthew had a little meaning for Yelena, and Zheng Qing could vaguely feel it.
But he didn't see the vampire as a threat.
"I can't put a curse on everybody like Elaine...... Pretty girls are very popular everywhere. Zheng Qing stirred the corn soup in front of him and said indifferently - in fact, this calmness was more due to the fact that he knew that Yelena was looking for Matthew to inquire about Dr. Duzem, which they had passed each other on Saturday morning before they parted ways in the Forest of Silence.
"I'd like to do that. Xiao Xiao muttered in a low voice beside him. There was a plate of fried small yellow croaker in front of him, and at this moment, Xiao Xiao was using a small silver knife to viciously chop off the heads of those small fish.
Zheng Qing and Xin Fatzi looked at each other, glanced at each other, and did not pick up.
Because of the gap in identity, age, etc., although the relationship between Xiao Xiao and Sima Yangyun was boiling among the students, it did not spread to the ears of the Sima family. I heard that the elders of the Sima family are asking for a blind date for Sima Yangyun these days, which has made Dr. Xiao Da have a bad temper in recent days.
"Ahem, I heard that Baicao Garden has lost a lot of bees recently, do you know about this?" Fat Xin coughed twice with his nose, and changed the topic to discuss with Xiao Xiao.
"Know, it's still under investigation, there's no conclusion. Xiao Xiao still chopped the fish's head with a gloomy face, and replied succinctly.
"Those fish heads can actually be eaten. Fat Xin looked at Xiao Xiao and pushed the chopped fish head out of the plate, slightly distressed. It's just that Xiao Xiao didn't pay attention to him.
"Baicao Garden?" Zhang Jixin had been concentrating on stuffing minced meat into the steamed buns just now, and only now did he have time to look at Xiao Xiao, looking like he had just woken up from a dream, as if he had just caught up with the rhythm of a few people: "You have also been punished again?" I remember that it was last semester that I punished you to work in Baicao Garden......
"What does 'also' mean?!I applied for a work-study program!" Xiao Xiao pulled his face, and his tone became more and more unhappy: "If I am not mistaken, I also asked you to act as a recommender to sign the application form at that time." ”
"Oh," the red-faced wizard pretended to remember, "I just thought that when our little shop opened and there was a little bit of a dividend, I thought you didn't need that job anymore...... What happened to the bees in the Hundred Herb Garden?"
Because he had a vague impression of the application form mentioned by Xiao Xiao, in order to avoid greater embarrassment, he decisively jumped over this pit and pulled the conversation back to what Xin Fatzi had just said.
"Lost. Xiao Xiao easily dialed the chopped fish head on the table into a paper bag, and snorted: "You can't see a bee alive, and you can't see a corpse when you die." Recently, it is an important season for many plants to bloom and pollinate, so the movement is a little bigger. ”
"It's like when there was a Kuroshio in Beta a while ago, there weren't always enough hunters. Zhang Jixin nodded knowingly, and made an inappropriate analogy - although he still didn't think that the movement of a few little bees could be much if they disappeared.
Zheng Qing suddenly laughed stupidly.
"What are you laughing at?" the other wizards looked at him in unison.
"I just heard the parable that the elder just made and remembered a passage I heard before...... 'Many times, euphemistic metaphors can dissolve the awkward atmosphere and create a more appropriate atmosphere for conversation. ’”
For example, in the epic book "The Mother of Dragons and the Cold Ghost", the little devil uses a vivid metaphor to talk about privacy in public, like telling a story. ”
"'I pulled out the eel from my crotch in front of a pot of turtle soup, and I jerked the one-eyed snake and peeled its banana peel, causing this bald head to cry, and its snot mixed with tears fell into the turtle soup, which belonged to Cersei, and I hope she didn't waste ...... in the end.'"
Hearing this, Zhang Jixin also showed a lewd and knowing smile.
“HOLY...... SHIT!" Fat Xin pushed away the soft-shelled turtle soup in front of him with a look of disgust, and looked at the public student angrily: "I don't know if you have resolved the embarrassment, but you successfully quenched my appetite...... You're really great!"
