Chapter 147: In the Tent
After separating from the Rat Immortal and Colma, the black cat ran wildly all the way, and with the help of the location map provided by the Rat Immortal, he ran towards the place where the Astronomical 08-1 class set out.
He felt like he could save it again.
It wasn't until he got close to the place where he walked and saw the fireworks signal rising in mid-air not far away, as well as the anxious shouts faintly floating in the wind, that Zheng Qing finally gave up completely.
"It's the end of the calf. He hid behind a bush to stop the Transfiguration and turn back into a wizard, as he watched as the color of the fireworks in mid-air gradually changed from orange to red, as if he were in mourning, his face full of sadness.
It seems that it has been a while since the class realized that they were 'missing', and even the magic fireworks used to serve as 'warning and summoning' have turned red. Not to mention the shouts that are getting closer.
The young public-funded student even turned his head to look at the rejuvenating poplar beside him, considering whether to crash into it headlong and knock himself unconscious, so that there was still a little room for argument when facing the investigation of his classmates and the school.
But then, he remembered the rat immortal's warning, hesitated for a while, and finally gave up the slightly fierce thought, and walked in the direction where everyone was.
......
"Where have you been?!Everyone has been looking for you for almost two hours!"
"Brother Qing, you're finished...... Downton had already informed the school of your disappearance, and the school committee and the student council would be here soon. ”
"Were you hooked up with the water demon in the river, or were you hooked up with the nymph in the woods?
"Hurry, hurry, pretend to be weak, Jiang Yu may be coming......!
All sorts of remarks poured up in a chaotic manner, instantly drowning out a certain male witch who had just appeared at the team building station. Some people, such as classmate Li Meng, are still afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and their voices are earth-shattering.
Zheng Qing's face was numb, and he let his companions hug him, and walked towards an old student, who was a fourth-year student who was in charge of student safety with the group, and was good at healing.
Just by taking a glance, the old student said to everyone with great certainty: "This classmate is very healthy, his breath is normal, although his spirit is a little decadent, but there is no big problem...... Disperse, disperse. ”
After that, he scattered a crowd of onlookers, dragged Zheng Qing into the tent behind him.
The chaotic chatter of the students was separated by the tents, and it seemed distant and empty.
In the slightly compact tent, several figures gathered together turned their heads and looked at the two wizards who had just entered.
In the corner of the tent, a brass teapot squatted on a small stove, its slender curved mouth spitting out white steam like flowing water, and in the poured hourglass, sand persevered through the narrow glass passage, recording the time that had long been unnoticed.
Several huge posters of the hunting team hung around the tent, shielding them from the cold wind that came in through the cracks. The hunters of the hunting party on the poster have long since disappeared, leaving only empty drawing paper hanging there, like eerie abstract paintings.
Rosewood chairs are stacked on top of each other, leaving plenty of space in the center of the tent.
A large square table was set up in the open space, and a huge sand table was placed on the table.
There are hills, ravines, forests, water, and a small bay in the sand table. With just a simple glance, Zheng Qing judged that this sand table presented the scene near the activity area of the Astronomy 08-1 class.
Standing near the square table were Downton, Jiang Yu, Xiao Xiao, and Yelena, as well as the senior students who had been sitting on the branches of the trees to warn Zheng Qing not to use magic to cut down trees, as well as the school workers in gray robes and the teaching assistants in black robes.
At this moment, they all stared at the two wizards who appeared in the tent.
There is surprise and relief in the eyes, as well as annoyance and blame.
Zheng Qing felt a little at a loss.
The senior students didn't know Zheng Qing, the gray-robed school worker, but the black-robed teaching assistant Zheng Qing was very familiar with it, and it was the teacher of their practical class, Assistant Teacher Hilda. The first person in the tent to speak was this teaching assistant.
"Tut-tut, how come there are you every time!" Assistant Teacher Hilda showed an unlucky look, and out of nowhere she found a bag of salt, and sprinkled it all around Zheng Qing. While sprinkling, he also complained: "From last year to this year, I haven't taken a few jobs in total, and there are accidents every time!"
"Do the math, did you count the charter flight that started school last year? I was actually touched into the special plane by a little banshee, and when we turned around, we were scolded by Lao Yao. Then there is the hunting meeting, the dragon beast that appeared inexplicably. Then came the winter hunting...... It's good now, even you won't let me go!"
"What hatred and what grudge?!"
Zheng Qing carefully dodged the white salt sprinkled on his face, with a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face, and he was embarrassed to talk.
Although several things behind Assistant Hilda's words are unknown, Zheng Qing remembers them all clearly. Indeed, in a sense, Zheng Qing's several activities seem to be quite unlucky, either the invasion of demons or the awakening of ancient beasts.
But from another point of view, it is also possible that Hilda is too unlucky, causing Zheng Qing to have an accident every time.
The gray-robed school worker interrupted Hilda's complaint and soothed, "It's good if people come back, it's okay...... It's just that since it's here, the process that should be taken still has to be followed. Can you tell us where you went during your disappearance?"
The first sentence he said to Hilda, and the last sentence was said by looking at Zheng Qing.
Zheng Qing had a bitter face and replied honestly: "It's just that I watched the fun in the forest, chased those rats and insects for a while, and got lost...... Because I can't use magic on the Forbidden Demon Festival today, and I didn't bring a compass or a map, I can't come back. Later, when I saw the light of the magic fireworks, I slowly groped for the direction. ”
Hearing this answer, the tent was a little cold for a while.
After a while, the old student who had instructed Zheng Qing not to use magic to cut down trees touched his head and sighed: "If you can't use magic, you don't need magic...... You're so honest. Did you pick up the firewood at the end?"
"I picked it up," Zheng Qing paused, adding, "I lost it again when I was looking for my way." ”
"Ahem," the gray-robed school worker coughed dryly twice, and looked at Zheng Qing with a smile: "It's naturally a good thing to be able to abide by the rules, but when necessary, you should still deal with it flexibly...... No matter how bad it is, it's okay to fly a paper crane for everyone after getting lost. ”
Zheng Qing touched his nose and didn't know how to interface.
They have said both the right and the back, what else can he say.
