056 Aspen, a torch seller

When the sun fully breaches the horizon, the streets gradually become more and more human. Some students dressed as people took to the streets with cleaning tools, and they were painstakingly cleaning up the fruits of their days of messing around. The merchants cautiously opened the door, and after noticing that no crazy students had appeared, they began to sort out the goods. Some of the shopkeepers took out a lot of green twig-like things, which they tied to the door frames with red silk.

On the main road from the city gate to the Holy Seed College, the street lamps on both sides have begun to be transformed. Some workers in blue overalls and black-brown hats are changing light bulbs, which are yellowish bulbs that emit a very soft yellow light. On the street lamps that have been replaced with light bulbs, people also tie this green branch.

Human forgetfulness is sometimes terrible, and even though they were still worried about the survival of the store, they are now happily preparing for the "Igniting Europeans" to be held in a few days.

After a while, pedestrians began to appear on the street, most of them were students, but judging from their appearances, they were not the people involved in this incident, they were like Jiang Yan, when they were messing outside, they chose to hide in the dormitory to avoid the limelight.

"Do you want torches?" Bai Yang stood on the side of the street with Chen She's torch in his hand. This is the most classic form of torch, the handle of the torch is made of cheap wood, but it is obviously carefully processed, the fine wood grain makes it look less cheap, and the core part is made of an extremely flammable cloth, which is wrapped around a section of the stick, and after being poured with fuel, it takes on a uniform brown color.

Pedestrians are constantly passing by, and Poplar is really not the material to be a salesman, she will always be ignored by people, intentionally or unintentionally. Before she took off the apron on her body, she was sent out by Jiang Yan, who told their family to laugh at Chen She's survival for half a year. Although Chen Shi didn't say anything, Jiang Yan still felt that he couldn't go, so he could only agree to his "torch plan." ”

Poplar muttered, but no one paid any attention to her, and she leaned against the wall of a grocery store in boredom. Thinking that some customer had come to the door, the shopkeeper walked out, looked around, and walked in disappointed.

Finally someone bought the torches of the aspen, and he hurried with a list that looked like he was going to buy the items needed for the event. But unfortunately, he probably wanted to buy torches again, and after paying the money, he didn't take the goods he wanted to buy, and left again.

Before Poplar could speak, he disappeared around the corner. She smiled helplessly, she was used to this kind of thing, when she went out to buy food in the past, those merchants were too, obviously they had given her things, but they always forgot to collect money. But sometimes, it was Poplar who paid the money, but the merchant had forgotten to do her business. She knew that this should be the sequelae of her cheating skills. But to be honest, apart from the fact that it is not convenient when going out shopping, Poplar has no other dissatisfaction with this ability. She has a peaceful nature, she doesn't really want to have anything to do with the outside world, and the people who can talk to her in the academy on weekdays are Jiang Yan's plant mother and iris raw stone flower.

It was about noon that Poplar had finally sold half of her torches, but the gold in her pocket was more than that, and most of the careless customers had forgotten their wares. After a subtle entanglement, Poplar quickly gave up the idea of changing the payment method, and between pit herself and pit others, she decisively chose to pit strangers, who they forgot about anyway.

Bai Yang looked up at the sky, it was time to make lunch, Jiang Yan and Watermelon should not come back at noon, but Xiaocao She was still a little worried, she still knew her sister's craftsmanship, except for Jiang Yan, it was estimated that no one would accommodate her.

Poplar returned the way it came. The street where she sells is a relatively busy street, but there are always some small lanes around the corners. These trails are like cobwebs, connecting several main roads. If you don't take the trail, people will always have to take a long detour to get to their destination. Some trails are very busy and are a must to get to some places, but others are not.

They are more similar to the traditional idea of the path, dark and rare, some are even crooked, except for the people who live in it, no one can tell where it leads, about them, there are always some legends of gods and gods, either they met the destined plant mother in it, or it is a disaster hidden in the darkness of the academy, and some strange rumors, most of them are attributed to disasters, people in this world are like this, all the phenomena that cannot be explained, They will chalk it up to a disaster, the only difference being whether they have a human form or not. There is a path like this on the way back to the dormitory, it is not as mysterious as the student legend, the two sides of the path are crawling with a strange vine, they go along the wall to the sun, their leaves are very wide, but only where the sun can shine the leaves are green, the vines in the shadows are a kind of silvery white, similar to moonlight, but whiter than moonlight. Whenever the sun is shining, these silver-white leaves will emit a faint shimmer, Jiang Yan was surprised when he saw this plant for the first time, if it wasn't for the lack of a mobile phone, he would like to take a photo and send it to a circle of friends, the posture should be handsome, it is best to whiten the skin. There are similar plants on other trails, they act as similar to street lamps during the day, and at night, the college clearly advises students not to walk this kind of unlit path, not that there are any potential indescribable dangers inside, but without light you are easy to trip over these vines, these so-called rumors, most of them are early people who do not know the truth and tripped over these vines at night, if they accidentally hit a stone, then they have direct evidence of the existence of the disaster.

However, there are some rumors that are not chasing after the wind.

Poplar lowered his head and hurried away, and a woman in a red dress suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was startled. But she didn't seem to see the poplar who had been hurrying against the wall, and turned directly into a path that she didn't know where to go.

This path runs parallel to the two avenues outside, where the back doors of the merchants on the side of the road gather, and when you look into the intersection, the vines on both sides have obviously been artificially built, and the woman in red has disappeared.

Poplar was a little overwhelmed, this woman was a bit like the guy who was rumored to have attacked Achilles. After a few minutes of froze, she decided to leave.

At the intersection of the trail, another figure appeared, and Poplar heard the sound, and when he looked back, it was a man he knew.

He looked around, but didn't seem to see the aspen standing on the side, and walked straight down the same path.
