Not far along the street, when the figures of Xiao Xiao and others completely disappeared from Zheng Qing's sight and their noise could no longer be heard, Zheng Qing belatedly realized something that he had ignored for a long time.
"Do you feel that the atmosphere in the market this year is different from last year?"
He hesitated and looked around.
In my impression, this trading market located under the sea is very quiet. It shouldn't be as noisy as it is now, just like a market opened by wizards on the surface.
“The organizer’s style is different.”
The witch clasped her hands behind her back, walked briskly, and her voice was equally brisk: "This year, the Sharman tribe is in charge of the market. They are the clan that admires wizards the most in the water tribe. They are striving to be closer to the wizards in terms of behavior, behavior, and even appearance.
.So it’s not surprising that the style of the fair they preside over is similar to that on the ground.”
Zheng Qing suddenly realized.
Just as he was about to say something, Leng Buding saw a guest a few meters away turning around, revealing a familiar face.
It's Hilda.
At this moment, he was standing in front of a small stall, holding a small plate, inserting a small piece of live maggot cheese with a bamboo skewer, tasting it with relish, and seemed to be aware of the sight coming from the side, he tilted his head and looked over
.
"Hey! Good evening, you two!"
The teacher of the practical class said hello happily and raised the bamboo stick in his hand: "Would you like to try this 'Kasu Masu'? Quankelai's special snack, very interesting!"
As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue, rolled a live maggot that had just escaped into his mouth, chewed it, nodded with satisfaction, and added: "——It's really interesting!"
vomit!
Zheng Qing retched in his heart.
He is not sensitive to such strong-flavored food. From a young age, no matter how many people recommend the wonderful taste of stinky tofu to him, he has never tried it. Every time he encounters it, he runs as far as he can.
"Is that him you just saw?" Zheng Qing remembered what the witch had said before.
"no--"
Jiang Yu shook her head slightly. Unlike Zheng Qing, who looked disgusted, she behaved very politely: "Good evening, Mr. Alfonso! Are you planning to buy something?"
"No, just walk around and take a stroll...and be a guard for Quan Ke." Hilda chuckled and glanced at Zheng Qing meaningfully.
The boy suddenly woke up.
This should be a temporary protection plan formulated by the school guards. He subconsciously looked around, and sure enough, he saw the muscular man Victor dressed as a couple and the purple-haired witch Violet in the other direction - just looking at him
The two of them were concentrating on flirting, and Zheng Qing was a little unsure of his guess.
Jiang Yu didn't think so much.
She mistakenly thought that Quan Ke had hired Hilda as a bodyguard in Wei City. Strictly speaking, this was a 'private job' and was not permitted by the school, but many times, everyone would turn a blind eye.
"You have to be careful not to be caught by the professors." The witch frowned and waved her hand: "...Then we won't disturb you. See you tomorrow afternoon!"
Tomorrow, Friday, is Hilda’s practical class in the afternoon.
"See you!"
The teaching assistant wiped the copper nail that had just been stained by maggots around his mouth and changed to the next shop.
"Want to go in for a walk?"
Zheng Qing noticed that the girl's footsteps stopped at the door of a shop. He looked up and saw that the four characters "緛水百物" were neatly written in fish calligraphy on the sign hanging outside the shop.
The wizards who come in and out of the shop are mainly girls.
??????55.??????
After just a brief recollection, Zheng Qing remembered where this place was - Zhenshui is a river at the foot of Qingyao Mountain. There is nothing surprising about this water, but there are two specialties on the river bank that are quite famous in the wizarding world.
One is Xuncao, which is similar in shape to orchids, with square stems, yellow flowers, and red fruits. When people eat it, their skin color will become beautiful; the other is '颢yao bird', which has a shape of
Similar to wild ducks, the body is cyan, the eyes are red, and the tail is red. Eating its meat is good for fertility.
There is no doubt that what attracts witches is naturally Xuncao.
Snapped!
Zheng Qing snapped his fingers.
"I just remembered," he laughed, acting as if he suddenly remembered: "The doctor said before that his tortoises reproduce too slowly, so the tortoise shells he doesn't have now are used...it just so happens that he uses water-soaked turtles.
The dried bird meat mixed with feed will definitely have a good effect. I will buy some for him, and you stand here and don't move around."
While talking, he had already rushed into the shop first.
The girl's lips curled up slightly, but she honestly stopped and waited outside the store.
It won't take a moment.
The boy hurriedly came out of the store, carrying a few pieces of dried mango and yao bird meat tied with hemp rope in his left hand, and a wooden box with ordinary packaging in his right hand.
"Well, when I just went in to buy dried meat, I happened to see this thing on sale, so I bought some...I got tired of walking and took it to quench my thirst." He stuffed the wooden box into the girl's arms.
Jiang Yu lowered her head to open the box, took a look, and finally couldn't help but smile and hit him: "Do you think the Xuncao fruit is a strawberry? What girl would use it to quench her thirst!"
Zheng Qing inexplicably thought of Victor and Violet he saw before.
"——Is there anything you want?" The witch's happy voice came to my ears.
Zheng Qing looked back, hesitated slightly, and had no intention of rejecting the girl's kindness.
"You don't need to buy anything."
His eyes wandered around, trying to find a familiar tent: "——When we came here last year, wasn't there a fortune teller who worshiped Yagneg? Do you still remember where their fish skin tent is?
?"
"You want to talk to it?" The witch looked a little surprised.
"Can stones from other mountains be used to attack jade?"
The boy's eyes immediately turned away from a passing nymph, and he turned to look at the girl seriously: "——I should have told you that during the Qingming Festival, I went on a business trip to the Silent Forest with the teaching assistant group.
, I heard a piece of divination in the centaurs tribe. Those words didn’t feel very good. So I wanted to listen to what the fishman priest had to say.”
This was also his main thought when he came to Quanke today.
Last year, the old priest's fish skin tent and the songs of the little fish people left a deep impression on him.
Jiang Yu sighed softly.
"Do you know what is the most untrustworthy thing in the world?" she suddenly said, and the boy who saw a little mermaid that just passed by out of the corner of his eye was startled.
He immediately began to look intently.
"Eyewitness testimony?"
Zheng Qing gave an answer casually - in fact, what he was thinking in his mind was, 'The most untrustworthy person in a woman's eyes should be men' - and at the same time, he analyzed it seriously: "...many witnesses are convinced that she saw the facts, but
That’s not the whole truth. Just like looking through a tube, one can only see so much.”
