The unexpected encounter with Lin Guo did not cause any wrinkles in Zheng Qing's timeline.
Just like his third transaction with the Trident Sword, it passed by in a hurry and became a byte in his densely arranged timetable.
Just like a small pebble dropped into Linzhong Lake, the ripples created are easily swallowed up by the huge lake body.
Life is like this.
Every day, every moment, every moment is composed of countless tiny, inconspicuous details. In these details, what people feel is always sunny and ordinary. Only after getting rid of the details
, standing at a higher angle and seeing broader facts, only then can we get a glimpse of the magnificence of the waves of the times as they rush to the beach.
Zheng Qing is not yet able to escape from the details.
So this Monday, like every Monday before, he went to class, went to class, ate, went to class, went to class, ate, went to class, worked on small tasks, and slept.
It's just different from last week. Now when he falls asleep, the black gem cat will go out for a walk on his behalf, enjoying a rare period of leisure. When he wakes up in the morning, the nocturnal cat will turn into an energy gem to provide him with energy during the day.
A steady stream of energy.
Logically speaking, tonight should be no different.
Until the black gem cat climbed out of the window sill of dormitory 403 and was about to open the window, he was shocked to see a ginger face pressed against the glass, staring at it intently.
The black cat trembled with fright and almost fell back into the dormitory.
After coming back to his senses, it recognized the owner of the furry, ginger-colored face.
It's the yellow fox from Sanyou Bookstore.
This surprised Black Cat, but he suddenly felt a hint of resentment.
"What does it mean to stay up late at night and block other people's windows to scare cats?" After the black gem cat got out of the window, it stared at the yellow tabby with unkind eyes and cursed in a low voice: "Every day, there is no one in the bookstore.
The dust has accumulated three feet thick, and such a good location is in vain! If you don’t want to open a store, just give me the key and I will open it..."
The yellow-breasted civet stared at it with unpredictable eyes.
The hair on the back of the Black Jewel Cat's neck started to puff up as it stared straight ahead, and its muttering became quieter and quieter. Then it snorted softly, flicked its tail, turned around and jumped into the deep night.
The black gem cat hesitated for a few seconds and followed behind.
Because of its small size, the black gem cat could barely keep up with the figure of Shi Shiran in front of it by running with all its strength. Just when it was running with its eyes distracted and feeling like it would turn into a stone again in the next second, the figure of the yellow tabby cat was
Finally stopped.
The black gem cat spread its limbs like a piece of meat pie and spread it beside the yellow tabby cat. Panting, it took a while before it struggled to stand up and looked around with its soft claws and soft tail.
Then it discovered that the two cats were parked under a tall Pistacia chinensis tree.
Pistacia chinensis is the regular tree. It is said that in ancient times, sages gave lectures under the tree as a role model. Because of its good meaning, and the bark and leaves of this book tree have high medicinal value, many of them are planted in schools.
, many trees are more than four or five hundred years old, and there are even some thousand-year-old trees.
The tree in front of Zheng Qing has a strong and majestic appearance. Judging from its appearance, it must be at least three hundred years old.
While the above judgment flashed through his mind, the black gem cat was also groping up and down carefully, trying to see a familiar figure in the branches or under the tree - in its view, it was impossible for the yellow tabby cat to lead him to a certain tree casually.
Under the tree, you must have respected someone's advice.
But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't see my husband.
It had no choice but to look away, tilted its head and looked at the civet again, with a puzzled look on its face: "——Why are you kidnapping me here if you don't want to eat dried fish in the middle of the night?"
A few blue veins popped up on the forehead of the yellow-breasted raccoon dog.
"The old man is looking for you!" He gritted his teeth and spoke concisely.
The black gem cat looked around again, full of doubts: "If you want to see me, just send a blue bird and ask me to go to the bookstore? Otherwise, you can just ask for a dream. Why are you here under this tree... And where is the person?
?”
"Close your eyes! Take a deep breath! Listen carefully!"
The yellow raccoon swung its tail and kicked the black gem cat in annoyance.
The black jade cat got up, tugged its ears, and closed its eyes obediently. But in his mind, he was thinking that he didn't go to the cat fruit tree tonight. Will the white jade cat be impatient? Will he be angry? How can he apologize tomorrow?
Perhaps because its eyes were closed, its hearing became extra sensitive.
At first, he could only hear the soft chirping of birds and the low hum of insects in the distance; gradually, he heard the sound of two-tailed squirrels shuttling between the branches, heard the owl spreading its wings lightly across the night sky, and heard the bat beating its flesh membrane.
Passing by quickly; then, there is the rustling collision of leaves, the whimpering of the evening wind through the treetops, the rustling of oil flies as they climb over the shrubs, and so on.
All kinds of tiny, unrelated sounds were mixed together, intertwining into a colorful night. The black gem cat felt that its field of vision was constantly increasing. Although it closed its eyes, it saw more things than when it was open.
Those sounds kept piling up in its ears.
Until a certain moment.
They converge into a vaguely familiar sound—
"...You have to learn...a higher perspective...youth...don't...be too complicated..."
The black gem cat suddenly opened its eyes and took a step back. The familiar voice suddenly disappeared without a trace. It looked at the big tree in front of it in shock, and then suddenly turned its head to look at the yellow tabby cat next to it.
The tabby cat squatted neatly under the tree, with its head raised, eyes closed, and ears flattened, as if it didn't notice the movements of the kitten next to it.
There is no doubt that the voice just now belonged to Mr.
But just like it asked before, why didn't Mr. let him go to the store or see him directly in his dream?
The black gem cat closed its eyes again with a serious expression.
This time, it gathered its mind and silently recited the Multi-Heart Sutra and the Meditation Mantra. In just a moment, it fell into concentration and achieved a deeper state of 'quietness' than before.
Then it heard a clearer sound.
"coming?"
The gentleman greeted me gently.
The black gem cat seemed to feel that his husband was standing beside it, and even reached out to stroke its head. It resisted the urge to open its eyes and remained in a state of trance.
"Sir? Where are you?" it asked in its heart.
"I am here, and I am also there." The husband gave a very philosophical answer, and then changed the subject, with a hint of smile in his tone: "——Do you know why I came to you today?"
"Are you going to help me catch that big crow?" This was the first thought that flashed through Zheng Qing's mind.
Those crows are almost becoming an obsession of his.
"Crows? Well, they are your mission and destiny, and I will not interfere at will."
The black cat seemed to feel his husband shaking his head gently: "I believe you can solve this problem by yourself - I am looking for you because today is your birthday. Happy birthday, child."
