Chapter 46: The Corn Festival

"Christina, you're panicking. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zheng Qing disagreed, "Isn't it just a vampire, what's there to panic about?" ”

"But......" Christina was obviously struggling to calm down for a moment, "boss, you're talking about vampires, legendary demon vampires. ”

"So what?" Zheng Qing asked rhetorically.

“……”

Christina was stunned, and after a while, she came back to her senses and said with a strange expression: "I forgot about you, boss." ”

She didn't finish her words, but Zheng Qing knew that what the other party wanted to say was that there was a boss you were in, and of course vampires didn't care.

These words made Zheng Qing feel a little proud in his heart, but he quickly regained his thoughts, "Christina, if there is a vampire in the town, what would you do?" ”

"There's a vampire?" Christina thought halfway through it, suddenly realized something, and hurriedly asked, "Boss, are you sure?" ”

Zheng Qing nodded, "I'm sure, think about the prisoner's injuries yesterday." ”

Christina's face became serious, "Boss, you mean, that prisoner yesterday, as well as the two people before, were all bitten by vampires?" ”

"Yes." Zheng Qing nodded, "There may be others who don't know." In short, there is a vampire above the town, or perhaps in the Humorous Forest. ”

"But ......" always felt that what Zheng Qing said was a bit mysterious, after all, vampires were really hard to believe, Christina couldn't help but ask: "Boss, what evidence do you have to prove that you are a vampire?" ”

Zheng Qing certainly has evidence to prove it, and Mr. Banks is the evidence. But it was clear that Mr. Banks could not be said at this time.

I had to ask rhetorically: "Tina, mutants have appeared, are you still suspicious of vampires?" ”

"But......" Christina said embarrassedly, "boss, are you going to let me report to my superiors like this?" Because of the presence of mutants, there may be vampires? ”

Zheng Qing also felt that this was unreasonable, but he thought about it for a while, "We have a saying in China, which is that it is better to believe what you have than not to believe in nothing. ”

"What do you mean?" Christina asked puzzled, quickly added, and said with a smile: "It seems that I really need to learn Chinese." ”

Chinese, which has developed for thousands of years, does have something to learn from. It has a lot of proverbs, which young English does not have.

Zheng Qingdao: "That is, when we encounter factors that are unfavorable to us, we would rather believe that these factors are true than believe that they are false. So as not to be caught off guard when bad things come. ”

What Zheng Qing said is obviously an extension of this sentence. However, this extension is obviously very appropriate here.

Christina was persuaded, "Okay, boss, I'll report and try." Of course, I'll include in my report that you said about vampires. ”

"Christina, are you betraying me?" Zheng Qing didn't understand what Christina meant.

"No, boss, quite the opposite." Christina laughed, "Don't you know that within the FBI now, what you say is more valued than what I say?" ”

"If the vampire was just what I said, I might be reprimanded by the higher-ups, but since you said it, the higher-ups should carefully consider this possibility."

"Okay." Zheng Qing smiled with satisfaction, "Christina, let's do it." ”

Back at Zheng Qing's house, Sam and another police officer are decorating with a group of inmates while clearing the land behind Zheng Qing's house.

And Anna and Brian went to investigate the case, which was the case of the vampire that happened again yesterday. They want to find out the murderer, Zheng Qing, who just heard it, was a little worried.

Then I thought that it was daytime, and there was nothing to worry about during the day, and restricted vampires rarely acted during the day.

Later, he received a call from Mr. Banks, telling Zheng Qing that he had successfully lobbied the mayor, and Emily really didn't get a penny from the mayor.

However, he was a little worried that the unwilled chick would find another way.

Emily thought of another way, which was a certain amount in Zheng Qing's opinion, although he didn't have much contact with the other party, he already knew the stubbornness of that chick deeply.

Anna: They came back from the woods before dark, and naturally found nothing.

At night, Christina still stayed at Anna's house, while Zheng Qing still went to Brown's house to spend the night. Jenny, who saw Zheng Qing again, looked a little strange.

Although she hesitated during the day, she finally threw away the peanut cake, Jenny, who had seen Zheng Qing's strength, no longer dared to despise Zheng Qing.

Even in her heart, Zheng Qing has a hint of mystery.

Little Ryan was even more admired and kept pulling Zheng Qing to speak, hoping that Zheng Qing could teach him Chinese kung fu. But Zheng Qing just asked the little guy to eat more and eat more of his own cooking, and when he grew up, he didn't need to learn kung fu to be very powerful.

Little Ryan, who was full of admiration for Zheng Qing, easily believed Zheng Qing's words.

The next day, still going to renovate, the injured Jack came with a group of FBI agents. Christina's report was really taken seriously, of course, because it was Zheng Qing who said it.

What Zheng Qing said, within the FBI, is more useful than Christina.

FBI agents conducted a carpet search in the Humorous Forest, but unfortunately searched for a day, but in the end they still did not find any vampires.

This result disappointed the FBI agents, and at the same time was a little skeptical of Zheng Qing's words.

So Jack came and went.

For the next few days, it was renovated. No one was injured in the humorous forest, and the vampires never appeared.

Anna stopped searching the humorous forest, and the town's police force gradually shifted to the school, which was supposed to hold an event.

Zheng Qing returned to Brown's house again.

"Uncle Zheng." Little Ryan opened the door for him.

The little guy began to call him uncle, as mentioned earlier, American children rarely call outsiders uncles and aunts, unless they are relatives in their own family.

On the one hand, this kind of salutation can easily be perceived as impolite, and uncles and aunts will make the other person feel very old. On the other hand, this kind of designation can also demean oneself and put the other person in the position of their parents out of thin air, which makes Americans feel very difficult to accept.

However, now, the little guy obviously regards Zheng Qing as a real relative.

Zheng Qing stretched out his hand and touched the little guy's soft hair, and saw that the atmosphere in the room was quite cheerful, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What happened good?" ”

Mrs. Brown rejoiced, "The school is going to have a corn festival." ”

"Corn Festival?" It was the first time Zheng Qing had heard of such a strange festival.

Of course, there are a lot of quirky festivals in the United States, a large number of them, and even the festivals of their own in small places.

They live in affluence, have little stress, and some of them make time for the holidays. And once there is a festival, basically everyone will participate, and the company even has a holiday specifically for this kind of holiday.

The so-called corn festival means that the corn is about to be sown, so it is necessary to celebrate the festival, and when the corn is harvested, it will also be celebrated. It's a small town after all, next to a farm area.

Mrs. Brown explained, and Zheng Qing knew what a corn festival was.

"Since it's going to be a holiday, that's a good thing." Zheng Qing nodded.

It doesn't matter if it's good or not, anyway, he doesn't care about American festivals, and it doesn't affect him. But since the Brown family likes it, he naturally only picks up good things to say.

"It's organized by the school." Mrs. Brown said, "When the time comes, the most attractive boys and the prettiest girls will be judged, and Jenny and Lane will participate, Zheng, will you come too?" ”

Come on, Zheng Qing doesn't care, "Okay, I'll definitely go when the time comes." ”

The atmosphere of this night was very good, maybe because she was going to participate in the event, Jenny's attitude towards Zheng Qing was very good, at least she didn't give her face so easily.

After dinner, little Ryan didn't pester Zheng Qing tonight, and later learned that the little guy, like Jenny, was actually preparing his own work.

This is for participation in the event.

Mrs. Brown told Zheng Qing that the school would put the children's work up for auction and (usually the parents) buy the children's work back.

The funds for buying back the work are equivalent to donations to the school in disguise.

This money is usually not very much, and parents buy their children's works back, and they will spend a dozen yuan, dozens of yuan, or at most one or two hundred, mainly to make their children happy.

And after the school gets this money, it will not spend it indiscriminately, but will use it in a reasonable place.

For example, we can improve the facilities of the school, or take them out as welfare or something to reuse them for the children.

In short, in the United States, you basically don't have to worry about corruption, of course, there are, but very rarely, and once caught, the consequences are very serious.

Zheng Qing smiled, thinking that Lao Mei's school would also change the way to collect money, of course, relatively speaking, their way of collecting money is relatively high-end.

Zheng Qing didn't think much about it, these are trivial things, and they are also conventions, so there is no need to take them to heart.

When he came back the next night, the atmosphere was very wrong, Mrs. Brown was crying, little Lane was panicking, and Jenny hid in her room and refused to come out.

When Zheng Qing asked, Mrs. Brown sobbed and told him that some time ago, the pastries made by Zheng Qing that Jenny had not eaten them every day, and after they were brought to school, they were thrown into the trash.

Mrs. Brown never knew that this time, little Ryan had seen it, came back and told her secretly.

Mrs. Brown was heartbroken and frightened when she heard this, and hurried to Jeanne to inquire about it.

Jenny freely admitted that since the first day, she had never eaten the peanut cakes and mung bean cakes she had brought into school, and had thrown them all into the trash.

Mrs. Brown was worried that Jenny, who had not eaten peanut cake and mung bean cake, suddenly fell ill, and Zheng Qing comforted her, and he was also troubled by Jenny's approach.

This little girl is really too willful. Fundamentally, of course, it was her hostility to herself that was too deep.

Zheng Qing felt very strange, why was this little girl so hostile to herself?

But no matter why, he decided to talk to Jenny.
