Chapter 20: Modern Mop
The next day, Jerry woke up early, his eyes closed tightly, even though he could feel the light of day.
"It was a dream—" he said to himself with great certainty, "I always dreamed of that old woman, who was she?" She always appeared in my dreams, roaring for me to save her, no-" He rubbed his eyes and immediately saw a green shadow walk in in a panic.
"Sheri, are you just waking up now, officially telling you a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to listen to first?" Bate's voice rang in my ears.
"Good news!" Jerry said casually.
Bet walked in wearing that green coat and carrying a green suitcase.
"Hah, the good news is that I'm going to take you to school today—" He elongated, as if waiting for Jerry to react or laugh.
But—Jerry just looked at him calmly, waiting for him to continue, "What about the bad news?" ”
"The bad news is that when you hear good news, you don't seem to be happy at all, and you are a little depressed!"
"I already knew," Jerry quickly jumped out of bed, "Mr. Bette, let's get ready, let's go!" ”
Jerry walked into the restroom of the tavern room, washed up quickly, and walked out with a casual hair and collar tied.
"It's almost 9:20 now, and we had planned to leave at 6:30 today, and the train to Hoglais usually starts at ten o'clock—" Bate let out a loud sneeze before she could finish speaking.
He seemed to have forgotten what he had just said, and began to mutter: "The weather seems to be a little cold, Xieli, should we bring more clothes, the road must be very cold." ”
As soon as Bet finished speaking, he sneezed again, walked over to his green suitcase, unzipped it, and began to count the clothes inside, endlessly, as if he was reporting to school instead of Jerry.
Jerry stood behind him and watched as he poured out all the clothes in the box, picked them up and began to count: "5, 10, 15, 16, 17......" The voice vibrated like a machine, and it never stopped.
"Bate—Mr. Bate!"
"W-what? What did you say? ”
"Have you forgotten the train at ten o'clock?" Jerry asked.
"Yes, that's your train, and my train doesn't start until 1 o'clock at noon." Bette said, grinning at Jerry.
"What do you say?! No, where is Lao Bugu? I'm going to ask him about it! ”
"Erdedo and Helion have already left, they have important things to do together, Jerry, get ready, I'll give you a ride, Miss Kesti is waiting for me at the train station!" Bet said, with a mysterious smile.
Before going to bed last night, Jerry was still thinking that Bette might just be a fool on the surface, and Lao Bugu must have his reason for letting him go to school with him, but now he feels that everything he thought last night has to be overturned and repeated.
Who is Miss Casey? Bet shouldn't have hidden it, and she regretted it halfway and went to see Kesti instead and left herself! Jerry couldn't help but scratch at his hair.
Jerry's mood is in a state of turmoil! He rubbed his nose vigorously and heard a snoring sound, Zhang Wuwei was still sleepy!
He picked up the Overlord Wand 8000 that was placed at the head of the bed, thinking that he had nothing to bring, and that he had lost his suitcase, so he simply traveled lightly.
At this moment, Bett walked out the door with his suitcase.
After a while, Bate's voice sounded anxiously outside the door: "Xieli, hurry up!" Let's go! Modern can't wait! Bette urged Jerry to get out.
Bang! Jerry stomped his foot out of the room.
Bet led Jerry through the brick walls of the tavern.
On Monday, the sky was clear, and they came out of the tavern.
Bette held up a mop with trembling hands, and he told Jerry that the strip of cloth had a tail at one end, and that if it was ripped off, the [Modern Mop] would not work.
After Bate finished speaking, he tied his suitcase to the tail of the mop with a rope.
"This time, no problem, Sheri, I hope you don't be afraid," he said, "understand why I didn't wake you up sooner, right?" It didn't take more than ten minutes – I think we'll be at the train station. ”
"Are you sure you can?" Jerry asked worriedly.
"No problem, I've thought about mastering it dozens of times, Xieri, please feel free to leave you to me!"
"I want you to think again—think," Jerry said, frowning, "if it doesn't work, I'd rather walk!" ”
Jerry said, watching him play with his mop.
"Walking? Sheri, don't be kidding – it's better to have a transport than nothing......"
"How do you sit on this thing?"
"Raise your hips so that, it's like riding a horse." "Come on, Sheri, sit behind me like you're really riding a horse." As he spoke, he shifted his position forward, gesturing for Jerry to ride on the back half of the mop.
"I don't understand, why would you choose a mop? I'm afraid it's going to throw us all off in the air! A sudden, worried thought flashed through Jerry's head.
"Lift your head—Jerry—go—all you have to do is hold my waist or grab the center of the mop." He added, as Jerry screamed and gave him a worried glance.
"Alright, Modern Mop, let's go!"
"Ahh Sheri, we're flying! ”
"Bate, is your technique reliable? I don't think my body is shaking all the time! No, no—oh my! ”
Jerry's eyes widened, and a strong wind rushed in, and his body kept rising.
"Don't move, Sheri, don't move!"
Jerry clung to Bate's waist, his eyes widening and his entire shoulders shaking.
"To the left—"
"To the right—"
"Hold on! Don't move! ”
"I can't think of anyone who would use the big green mop as a flying tool, Bette, be steady, I'm really afraid that the tail of the mop will suddenly break!" Jerry worried.
"Put away your worries - your worries are unnecessary, you know?" Bette said loudly.
Jerry didn't reply, he couldn't think of how to alert Bet, he saw the mop's tail loose, and the green strips of cloth were falling down one by one.
The only thing he could think of was that it was like Bet's hair, skewed by the wind, and he was afraid that it would suddenly fall all out.
When he thought so, he didn't know what it meant, until he looked back and saw a green wig blown away from Bette's head by the wind, and then rushed to his face, and Jerry's eyes darkened, and he screamed in the darkness.
"OMG! Bet Eliza! ”
Jerry shook his face hard, and the green wig was thrown into the sky by him, flying in the air.
"Ahh Bet touched his bare head, and let out a pig-killing scream.
His scream was no less than that of Helion Command, and it was like seeing a ghost, and he was probably frightened by his own appearance.
Bette's green wig flew up in the sky, and Bette tried hard to reach for it, but couldn't catch it.
As much as Jerry wanted to laugh now, he couldn't laugh anymore when he heard a slight cracking sound from under his crotch.
Jerry warns in horror that Bette's mop is breaking, but Bette reaches for the green wig above his head, ignoring his cries.
"Bette!! Bette!! The tail is about to break!! ”
"Suitcase!! The suitcase has fallen!! ”
Soon, Jerry couldn't hear his own frightened voice, the wind grew louder and louder, and the modern mop flew out of control like a headless fly.
"It's going to be bumped into—it's going to be bumped into! Oh, my God! ”
"Slow down, hurry, Bart! I'm going down!
Suddenly, there was a loud "boom".
Jerry felt a violent shock and heard Bet scream.
His eyes went dark, and the two of them crashed into a tall tower in front of them, breaking the mop in half.
Jerry's whole body swings in the air, grabbing the back half of the mop and swaying in the air, it still has no intention of stopping.
Then, a danger befell Jerry, his body was constantly falling downward, the air next to his ears rattled, and smoke rose from the passing air.
Jerry screamed hoarsely in his heart: It's over, it's over! It's going to be smashed into the mud!
His body fell down at a rapid speed, and he couldn't help but roar in the air: "Bet Eliza, you bastard liar!"
"Bet - don't let me see you again!!"
Rumble!!!
There was a loud crash.
......
Zhang Wuwei was woken up.
After a muffled thud, Jerry's body flicked like a ball slowly stopped.
"Damn, what's going on?" Zhang Wuwei was annoyed, he had just had a sweet dream, and Jerry's fall directly woke him up.
After a while, Jerry's moaning came from outside:
"Is my leg broken? Is the arm broken? Did you hit your head? Oh, my shoulders are still there, my hands are still there, my legs are still ......"
"I'm all right?" Jerry moved and pinched his face, it hurt, it was cool, and it was slowly heating up, and he lay on a soft object, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Suddenly, his hands and feet went limp, and a shrill scolding voice sounded behind him: "Who are you?" I command you to - immediately - immediately - get off my couch! ”
Jerry's eardrum was pierced by an awl, and before he could turn around, "Horn! His ass hurt a little, and it was hot.
"Oops!" He immediately jumped up from the couch.
"Horn-horn!" The other party swung two whips in succession, one hit his calf, and the other hit the ground, slapping the dust on the ground.
Immediately, a milky apron came into Jerry's eyes, and he had to lift his head to see her face, and when she looked down at Jerry with her back hunched, Jerry recognized her as the fat woman who had broken into the secret room that day in Phantom Hall.
The scene of the fat woman smashing the door of the underground memory bank immediately appeared in front of Jerry's eyes.
Jerry thought to himself: things are not going to get any worse than they are now!
"Ah——! My new sofa! Little ghost, look at the good things you've done! The screams were accompanied by angry scolding.
Jerry quickly covered his face, and saw her caressing her sofa through the gap between his fingers, and the surface of the sofa seemed to have been knocked out of a crack, and cotton was faintly leaking out of it.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Jerry's hands were shaking.
He tried not to let the fat woman recognize him, in fact, if she did recognize herself, she would definitely have to give him two more whips.
Jerry thought to himself: it would be better to stay and explain why she suddenly fell on her newly bought couch, or to make a little lie for her to put the anger out.
While he hesitated, Zhang Wuwei suddenly let out an exclamation: "Run, run!" ”
There were two dog barks in his ears, and before Jerry could look back, he hurriedly ran forward, thinking: How could she be so cruel as to let a dog bite someone!
Jerry ran down the alley for a while, tired from it, and stopped to look back and didn't see the fat woman and the dog she had released.
He dared to crouch down and gasp for breath, pinching the wand hidden in his inner pocket, and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the time on the nearby clock tower was stuck at 9:40, and the train to the school was leaving at 10 o'clock, and Jerry looked at everything around him, looking confused: Where is this now?
He pinched his nose and asked Zhang Wuwei for help: "I need your help now!" ”
Zhang Wuwei was surprised, and thought: The kid finally opened his mouth to ask me for help.
Zhang Wuwei paused and said, "This is Swing Alley, you should be running to the train station as fast as you can, it should be too late." ”
"Fastest speed?" Jerry stood up, looked at the time on the clock tower, and frowned.
"If you borrow a means of transportation, you might be able to catch it just in time." Zhang Wuwei added.
"Is there no other way?" Jerry hesitated, "Are there any cars or anything like that nearby?" ”
"Nope!" Zhang Wuwei looked around through Jerry's body.
"Can't you help me figure it out now?" Jerry walked forward depressed, looking for the car.
"Can't!" Zhang Wuwei emphasized vigorously, lay down and snored.
Jerry heard his snoring and sighed inwardly: Couldn't it really get any worse?
"Jerry!" Just then, a familiar voice reached his ears.
