Time flies in a busy state.

Doing homework, going to class, writing homework, going to class, in the blink of an eye, it's Saturday.

The bohemian dress that Zheng Qing bought at a high price from Green Spinning was still stuffed in the bag and was not given away; there were still ten magic texts that Professor Emma asked to copy, but they were not completed; the only thing worth boasting about was perhaps the homework of Lao Yao's magic and charm class, and with the assistance of Jiang Yu, he completed an analysis report of nearly 10,000 words.

According to Xin Fatzi, these words can be stuffed into the school magazine and used as student papers with a little polish and a proposal report.

Zheng Qing was noncommittal about the compliment—in fact, he was very suspicious of Xin's motives for looking around for manuscripts.

Besides, he had other things to worry about.

It's Saturday, and tonight it's time for the weekly patrol again.

According to the punishment notice of the school working committee, Zheng Qing needs to stay in the patrol team for an academic year, and now the time has just passed for a month, and this is the fifth time he has participated in the night patrol of Linzhong Lake.

Relatively speaking, he was quite familiar with the matter.

He wouldn't have a pound of talismans around his neck like he had on his first patrol, he wouldn't carry hundreds of talismans with him, and he would have tied armor and horse talismans around his legs, and even in the Dharma book, he didn't deliberately add the newly learned little evil charm, but copied the commonly used bondage charm several times.

Because he finally understood what the old patrolmen were saying every day.

This is the number one university.

That lake is the Linzhong Lake of Jiuyou Academy.

Except for a few red chain snakes that don't know whether they are alive or dead, and a group of sneaky sand worms, Zheng Qing has not seen a more dangerous monster than a kappa in the past month.

Fish-people are not monsters, although their intelligence is slightly lower, but they belong to the intelligent race after all, and they will not risk the wrath of wizards to provoke a group of impulsive and reckless little guys.

Compared to those unattainable dangers, the most disturbing thing about the night watch is the adjustment of the biological clock.

Zheng Qing needs to start going to bed on Saturday afternoon, then wake up in the middle of the night, eat supper, patrol, roll back to the dormitory in the morning, cover his head and sleep, and don't get up until noon - the golden part of the whole weekend is wasted in bed.

It's unforgivable!

The young public-funded student thought of his unfinished homework, and he was indignant in his heart, but he was helpless.

The pit that you dug yourself will be filled up on your knees.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, he stepped on the dot and staggered to the lakeside, bringing only a gray cloth bag, and he didn't even take out the law book from the bag.

Most of the members of the patrol have already arrived.

Zheng Qing easily found Lin Guo's figure.

The little genius of the Alpha Academy rode on the back of a tall black goat, still carrying a small school bag, and the long patrol cane was set up by him between the thick horns of the black goat, which was extremely conspicuous.

"Ahh ”

"It's okay, everyone basically didn't bring their partners. Lin Guo grabbed a small comb, patiently combed the goat's back hair, and comforted: "Moreover, if you bring an animal companion to patrol, you need to report to the school working committee in advance, and you have to fill in a lot of materials, which is very troublesome." ”

Zheng Qing smacked his lips, but there was no squeak.

He suddenly realized that he had fallen to the point of being comforted by a twelve-year-old child.

The black goat tilted his head and looked at the young public-funded student, his cheeks squirming slowly, and his eyes clearly revealed a hint of ridicule.

Zheng Qing didn't want to laugh at a goat, so he could only walk to the center of the patrol with his head shaking his head and get his patrol staff.

This is standard equipment for patrol members, and it is imprinted with many protection and expulsion spells, which can be used with just a wave, which is very convenient.

Until everyone's patrol sticks had been distributed, the old man of Verne had not yet appeared.

But the patrol team members have been skillfully divided into more than a dozen squads according to the usual practice. If nothing else, the follow-up patrol tasks will be completed in the form of squads, each team is responsible for patrolling a section of the lakeshore, and the scope and route are very clear.

Each team has a maximum of four or five people, and a minimum of two people, and is divided according to the degree of risk of the patrolled section.

Zheng Qing and Lin Guo were in the same team, because they were the only two freshmen in the entire patrol team, so the old man Verne had specially arranged a patrol mission along the lake corridor for them before.

You only need to walk back and forth in the lakeside corridor, you will not encounter long insects in the grass, nor will you 'bump into' fishmen who come out to hunt wild food, and at most you will be able to see the bald heads of a few kappa, which is a very safe patrol mission.

Others have no objection to this.

When the old man of Verne came to the lakeside, it was already in the middle of the moon.

"Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, it is the year of Wuzi, the month of Xinyou, the day of Ding Chou, the sky is clear and the moon is clear, there are no taboos, don't doze off when you patrol!" The old man of Verne was holding a cane in one hand and a suspicious paper bag in the other, his face flushed.

There was a burst of light-hearted laughter from the crowd.

"Do you know where you're responsible?" the old man's cane paused heavily on the grass, startling a few small bugs that were stacking arhats.

The old hound next to him flicked his tail quietly and moved a few steps away from the old man's cane.

"Yes......" the patrolmen replied vaguely.

"Do you know the patrol routes?" asked the old man in a loud voice, holding up his cane.

"Yes!" came a neat roar from the lakeside.

"What are you waiting for?!" the old man waved his cane, "Let's go, my patrolmen!"

Zheng Qing followed behind the chaotic team with black lines on his face, holding Lin Guo's black sheep in one hand and dragging a patrol cane in the other, and walked weakly towards the corridor.

The patrol area of the night patrol team of Linzhong Lake is in the entire Linzhong Lake, including the promenade around the lake, lakeside forests and other ancillary areas.

Zheng Qing and Lin Guo's patrol area is in a promenade around the lake on the west side of the lake, which is less than 500 meters long, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk back and forth.

On one side of the promenade, many fruit trees such as peaches, plums, apricots, and dates are planted, attracting a large number of wild lampworms to suck the sap, and it is the only patrol area with lights.

On the other side of the promenade is a sloping grass slope, and the bottom line of the grass slope is Linzhong Lake.

Walking in the promenade, you can see the sparkling lake on one side and the fruit forest full of lights and fireflies on the other, and the scenery is pleasant.

However, no matter how interesting the scenery is, after watching it dozens of times, hundreds of times, it will be as little as clear soup and no fun at all.

The night is still long.

This boring scenery will be watched for a long time.

Zheng Qing had to work hard to find some topics to pass the time.

Thinking of time, he couldn't help but think of Lin Guo's slightly chaotic concept of time, and then remembered an old man he met in front of the office building of the school working committee a long time ago.

The old man said—

'Aside from time, there is no magic in this world'.

He pondered it carefully, and felt that Mr. Wu seemed to have said something similar, so he couldn't help but shake it out and try to discuss it with Lin Guo.

In his opinion, Lin Guo may have a different view on this point.

But to his surprise, Lin Guo showed a thousand percent approval of that sentence.

"No problem at all...... Time is the most powerful force in the world. The little boy carried a patrol cane, followed behind Zheng Qing step by step, and replied seriously.

"It's too absolute...... Zheng Qing shook his head, very much disagreeing with such an absolute statement: "There are two sides to everything. Time may be powerful, but it can't cover everything......"

"Yes!" Lin Guo's voice raised slightly: "Time can measure everything!"

"Measure everything?" Although he had some agreement with Lin Guo's words, Zheng Qing still scoffed at this sentence: "Time is time, can it measure real things such as distance and space? Can it measure illusory things such as wisdom and love? Can it measure truth?"

"Yes!" Lin Guo nodded solemnly: "For example, distance, what you use to measure distance is not the length of time? For example, wisdom, what a smart person understands in three minutes, it takes three months for a fool to react." As for the truth, who knows more? Only at the end of the endless time and space, there may be truth. ”

Zheng Qing was speechless, always feeling that it was wrong, but he felt that it was very reasonable and could not refute it.

What do I have to do with this little kid, let alone a schizophrenic, chronopathic kid - he can only comfort himself with a Q-style spirit in the end.
