After expressing a little kindness, Soprano left with his entourage.
As soon as his front legs disappeared around the corner of the street, Xiao Xiao quietly appeared next to Zheng Qing with his hind legs, startling the young public-funded student.
"Why are you so fast?" Zheng Qing looked at the "Book of Law" in Xiao Xiao's arms and said in surprise: "I thought you would stay in that store for a while."
"Buying a book is not about choosing a wife, so why be so careful?" Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and replied slowly: "Go into the bookstore, see the book, take it away, pay...it's not a very complicated matter in the first place. In addition, it's not
It’s not that I spent too little time, it’s that you and Serprano chatted for a little too long. I never knew you two had so much to say.”
Zheng Qing sighed heavily.
Then he simply repeated to the doctor what Soprano had said before, and finally concluded: "What do you think he wants to do? Want to send someone to ambush me on the east side of the lake, push me into the mud pond and eat a few mouthfuls of yellow mud?"
He is not afraid to judge the other party with the greatest malice.
Different from him, Xiao Xiao's view is more objective and fair.
"Perhaps he is really releasing goodwill." The doctor pushed up the book in his arms and said thoughtfully: "Except for the conflict between Jiuyou and Alpha, there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two of you.
...In addition, the school is now under a curfew, and the blood club is about to change its term. Objectively speaking, one less trouble is good for everyone."
"What do you mean, we can go check near the mud pond?"
"Why not go? That's the heart of the academy, and you have a whole hunting team at your disposal. Even if Soprano wants to use some tricks, it won't be that easy."
While they were talking, the two of them had already turned two corners along the small street of Quanke Laiwei City.
Then Zheng Qing saw a familiar figure not far away.
It was his professor in the fish-man language class, Mr. Garcia.
Thinking that the invitation to the spring guest was given by this old gentleman, Zheng Qing felt that it was necessary to go up and say hello, so he pulled Xiao Xiao and walked forward.
Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes and finally stopped analyzing Soprano's topic.
Professor Garcia is haggling with a nymph to buy some dried seahorses.
Nymphs are water elves who live in the far north. They are as beautiful as mermaids and have voices as good as sirens. In addition, they also have a pair of transparent, beautiful wings like dragonflies.
I heard that their wings will shine with colorful light in the sun.
But now we are underwater, and apart from the glowing pearls and octopus, there are only the green eyes of the werewolves. Zheng Qing regrets that he cannot see the beautiful wings of the nymphs.
During the school hunting party last year, the school invited some nymph dancers. But because the distance was too far, Zheng Qing could only see a group of figures dancing in mid-air, but could not see any more details.
The nymph in front of Professor Garcia has a pair of beautiful big eyes with very long eyelashes, and her skin is white and shiny, almost transparent. Her whole body is covered in a layer of fine gauze, with compact magic lines and a magic halo.
It flows around and makes people dizzy.
"Welcome...welcome guests." She greeted the two young wizards in a hoarse and melodious voice: "What do you need? Here are North Sea pearl powder, dried seahorses, Penglai cassia, and cuttlefish bone sea turtles.
, and fresh oysters.”
A string of words came out of her mouth like a song, elegant but not vulgar.
From the corner of Zheng Qing's eye, he caught a glimpse of the doctor who had taken out his notebook and quill at some point, as if he was planning to record the 'notation' that the nymph had just used when greeting the guests.
But he had no time to remind the doctor of his manners.
Because Professor Garcia has noticed young publicly funded students.
"Classmate Zheng Qing?!" The old fish man waved his hand happily and said, "I just thought you would be somewhere in Wei City."
"Do you have anything to do with me?" Zheng Qing immediately understood the meaning behind the professor's words.
"No rush, no rush." The old fish man waved his hand and skipped the topic: "We will talk about this later... Let me finish the business in front of me first... Five silver dimes and three copper coins a
How about these pieces? I bought them not for my own use, but for my descendants."
The last sentence seems a bit deliberate.
Zheng Qing recalled the efficacy of dried seahorses and silently lowered his eyelids, pretending not to notice it. The owner of the Nymph shop smiled and agreed to the old fish man's request. Professor Garcia seemed to be encouraged and started talking nonstop.
:
"... One generation is worse than the other, really... This is indeed a sad reality."
"If you had told me a hundred years ago that the little fishmen of Linzhong Lake liked to put fish hooks on their fins and grease the scales on their faces, I would have laughed at you for adding too much to the soup you drank at noon.
kava roots, or too many datura flowers in the garden.”
"Young nymphs also have their own trends." The shopkeeper replied gently: "We live in our time, and they live in their time. The world is big enough for many different eras to coexist."
"Having said that, isn't this how conflicts come about?" Professor Garcia sighed heavily: "Just like someone once said, once people no longer call each other 'Mr.' or 'Ms.' in a friendly way when they meet,
, bad things will follow...and now, when the kids in the lake see the old man, they no longer have the same respect as before."
Professors can always discuss a very small matter to a very profound level.
Zheng Qing, who originally had a slightly joking attitude, gradually became serious during the chat between Professor Garcia and the Nymph shop owner, thinking carefully about every word they said.
Generation gaps can occur between different eras, as well as between different cultures. It’s just that one is a vertical observation, and the other is a horizontal comparison. Therefore, the conflict between the young and the old, and the conflict between Tongjiuyou and Alpha, are essentially
There is no difference above.
Until I left that small shop.
Only then did Professor Garcia turn the topic to what he wanted to say when he greeted Zheng Qing.
"Last week you asked me to help you find out if a black goat has been seen in the lake recently?" The old fish man's words were as gentle and worrying as ever: "I went back and asked."
It didn't mention this matter, and Zheng Qing almost forgot about it.
What happened last week was no less than the last week. The drastic changes in the club association, my husband's lectures, and the two dark wizards who were selling magicians that I encountered last weekend. Everything was so bad.
It wasn't until the professor of Murloc Common Language mentioned the black goat that Zheng Qing immediately realized that he hadn't communicated with Lin Guo about finding the sheep in the past two days. This made his heart suddenly filled with guilt, and he just wanted to leave Wei City as soon as possible and find Lin Guo.
chat.
He didn't really expect to get any useful clues from the old fish man - in the past week, the Knights of Forgiveness had used all kinds of methods, including Gini Hut, Qingqiu Hall, and even the Student Union, Astronomy Class 08-1
, patrols and other channels, no trace of the big black sheep was found.
Zheng Qing no longer had any hope.
But reality always likes to give hope to a person when he is desperate. Just like the X-line chart, when it breaks through all the moving averages and falls to the lowest point, it will always rebound, as if only by finding a support point can life continue.
appearance.
"...A longevity turtle by the lake said that some time ago, he saw a cat fighting with a black goat. At that time, there were many people making noise by the lake. It was annoyed, so it didn't pay attention to where the black goat ended up...
