Chapter 133: The Pet Farm on Duty
Zhan Yuchen frowned, and used a feather duster to pick a slippery and greasy snake away from the big bluestone.
The serpent spat out the letter, staring at the young wizard for a few minutes, and finally slid into the grass with a wagging head and left.
Zhan Yuchen shook his head and sighed.
Although he was a wizard, he couldn't understand why anyone would like this eerie long worm as a pet, and he had heard that the owner of the serpent was a little girl.
"It's a big world, and there's no wonder. He grunted, spread the deerskin blanket in his arms on the big bluestone, and then placed a small dish of fried peanuts and a small pot of amber light next to the blanket—it was a great pleasure to drink two sips of mellow amber light at night.
Zhan Yuchen is a junior at Jiuyou College.
When most of the juniors were busy with their feet not touching the ground because of the school hunting meeting, Zhan Yuchen was able to lie down under the moon and drink a little wine, thanks to his other well-known identity - the guard of the First University Pet Park.
Originally, this matter was the responsibility of the school working committee.
However, more than 10 years ago, for some reason, the joint meeting of professors transferred part of the management authority of the pet house to the student union of First University on the grounds that 'animal companions have a positive impact on the learning of young wizards', and only the rough work of "sprinkling", "ordering", "feeding" and "cleaning" was still handed over to the school staff.
Of course, because it is a student, there is no need to be on duty here around the clock, and there is no need to sign in every day, just stay in the garden for a period of time every week, and the rest of the work is still handed over to the school worker.
Even so, in the eyes of many noble wizards, 'watching' is still not a glorious status, as if it is the work of servants like 'sprinkling' and 'guarding the door'.
In order to balance this delicate gap, the Student Council of First University has specially set up a 'Wizard Companion Management Committee' under the President of the Student Council, with the same rank as several other Vice Presidents of the Student Council, except that there are no subordinates, and there is no need to worry about other matters of the Student Council, but to serve as a pet house guard on a daily basis.
"Tsk, the lake must be very lively today. Zhan Yuchen stretched his waist, half lying on this slanting big bluestone, and raised the wine glass in his hand to the bright moon in mid-air:
"Cheers...... Have a great dance!"
The eternal bright moon naturally disdains to pay attention to some dusty little wizard on the ground.
She still hung quietly in the sky, sprinkling the cool moonlight.
The adults on duty at the pet park chewed peanuts, took a sip of wine from time to time, and lazily looked at the small animals around them who were having fun in the grass, feeling that life was just like that.
After three rounds of wine, there are still a few peanuts left.
The student on duty glanced at the timer and estimated that the time was almost up.
Then he yawned loudly, raised the law book in his hand, and trembled in mid-air, making a soft light:
"Dot-......"
The lazy voice seemed to urge people to sleep, but miraculously summoned the group of small animals running around.
Zhan Yuchen sat up straight and commanded skillfully:
"The old rule, male left and female right, unsure stand in the middle...... After the roll call, you can go back to the nest, the exquisite rations and warm nests are waiting for you! Hurry up, hurry, Mali, I have to go back to get some sleep......
Before the words fell, the small animals in the garden were already standing in a neat group, and they were lined up according to the size of the high.
This was very satisfying to the adults on duty.
"Juliani pigs 'run'... Characteristics are clear, in good health, too. ”
A little flower pig snorted and ran quickly to its nest.
"Mastiff 'Big Strong'...... Iron-clad gold, good health, too. ”
A big dog slowly followed the little pig and walked deeper into the pet garden.
......
After the roll call, most of the pets returned to their respective nests according to Zhan Yuchen's previous guidance. But there were still a few small animals hovering around, refusing to leave.
The guard of the pet park looked at it, and it turned out to be a flower mink, a caterpillar, an old owl, and a red-bellied golden pheasant.
"Coo, coo, coo..."The red-bellied golden rooster barked at Zhan Yuchen, which made the guards on duty who were drinking up for a while.
It turns out that according to the rules of the pet garden, after nightfall, the pets in the garden can go out in batches and wander around the campus for a while.
This brood marten likes to wander around the most, and is most active at this time of day - God knows why a caterpillar likes to arch around.
"Not today," Zhan Yuchen waved his hand again and again, and refused very clearly: "At the opening ceremony of today's school hunting meeting, there is still a dance party on the side of Linzhong Lake...... Many strangers came to the school...... If you go out now, I'm afraid you'll be caught eating stew..."
The intimidation didn't even frighten the caterpillar.
The caterpillar wriggled hard, making an S-shape on the blade of grass and a B-shape on the blade of grass.
"Quack ......," the old owl also protested hoarsely.
"They are different," Zhan Yuchen waved his hand again and again, and explained: "Those little foxes were borrowed by the Su family, and they have the dean's hand...... As long as you can get a note from a professor, I'll let you out and have a good time!"
This is obviously embarrassing pets!
The mink owl chicken has no hand, so he can only continue to persistently harass the guards of the pet farm.
But the attitude of the adults on duty was very resolute, and the mink owl chicken tossed for a long time, but still did not get permission to go out, and finally could only leave angrily.
Before leaving, the red-bellied golden pheasant pretended to unintentionally throw a bubble of chicken manure at Zhan Yuchen's feet, and the flower marten unceremoniously left a deep cut on his deerskin blanket with its paws.
"It's really not a human thing......" Zhan Yuchen smiled bitterly, flipped through the law book, and cleaned up the dirt around him.
Theoretically, both the 'Guard' and the 'Commissioner' of Naraush are actually only responsible for one thing: to manage the little ancestors in the First University Pet Yard and to prevent them from slipping into unauthorized areas at will.
But in actual work, Zhan Yuchen found that this matter was not so simple.
There are often some noble children, holding the notes of the elders of the family, and when he is on duty, they break into the garden, wanting to take their companions casually - at this time, it is a great test of the 'ability' of the guard.
Most of the time, this guard from Jiuyou Academy will do his best to minimize the formalities for those children of the family, but in any case, the procedures that should be taken must be completed meticulously, after all, this is related to his credit rewards and final evaluation.
Just like the tricky thing Zhan Yuchen encountered this evening.
A couple of witches, who were apparently not students at First University, carried a note from the dean, claiming to borrow a few little foxes from the pet house for a while.
