The early mornings of the northern summer are often shrouded in a thin mist. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zheng Qing pressed the mobile phone in his arm bag and changed to a more relaxed music.

It's still early, but there are no less people running. On this running track built along the riverside, morning exercisers in sportswear can be seen everywhere.

The runway is located in Fenhe Park, which is one of the city's urban appearance projects in recent years, and has been built with great care. On one side of the plastic pavement is the tranquil waters of the Fen River, and on the other side is a lush willow forest. They fill the air of the land with the scent of nature. These scarce elements in the city form a great temptation for people in the city to exercise in the morning.

A black figure flashed in front of Zheng Qing's eyes and stopped on the stone platform not far away.

This black cat!

Zheng Qing sniffed, tightened his armbag, and glanced at it.

This black cat walks on snow with four paws, and its coat color is very conspicuous. Although the breed is just an ordinary pastoral cat, it is not as sensitive and suspicious as the average domestic cat, but very bold. From the moment he entered the runway, he had been hanging not far in front of Zheng Qing.

Not slow, not in a hurry, if you touch it.

There was not a single smoke that disappeared in Zheng Qing's sight, but it always fell at a distance of one hundred and ten meters from Zheng Qing.

This made Zheng Qing, who was behind it, a little curious.

His running speed is not slow, and the morning runners around him have changed a lot, and there is no suspicion of the existence of the black cat owner.

Maybe the cat just thought it was fun.

Turning the bend in front of him, the black cat suddenly disappeared from sight. Zheng Qing slowed down and looked around, and it was easy to see the figure of the black cat in the dense woods.

It left the main path and ran into a quiet path next to it.

Compared with the main runway, this fork is only three to five meters wide, and the road surface is not plastic, but an ordinary stone road. The black cat ran dozens of meters in the fork in the road, stopped again, and turned around to stare at Zheng Qing with those green cat eyes.

Zheng Qing hesitated at the fork in the road for a few seconds, and then followed the black cat into the fork in the road.

Running with a cat is not much different from running with a person, anyway, they both run by themselves. Zheng Qing thought silently, besides, this road looks so quiet, it must be more comfortable to run than outside.

The black cat walked briskly in front, and the road under his feet changed from a stone road to an asphalt road, and then from an asphalt road to a hardened dirt road, and finally there was no dirt road, only a wild road paved with dead branches and leaves.

Zheng Qing decided to run until there was no way out and then turn around.

He was so satisfied with his running now that he even ignored the black cat not far in front of him.

His nose breathed greedily, and his nasal cavity was filled with the smell of rotting dead grass and leaves in the woods, mixed with rosin and morning mist, clearing the exhaust fumes that had accumulated in his chest in the city, and also taking away the faint uneasiness in his heart.

The sky was getting brighter, the sun had not yet risen, and the fog in the forest was getting heavier and heavier.

Turning a stout ancient tree, Zheng Qing's eyes lit up, and a large emerald green bamboo forest appeared in front of him. The greens are so dazzling that the morning mist can't obscure their brilliance.

Bamboo leaves rustle, bamboo branches collide. The feeling of jogging in the bamboo forest is intoxicating.

Zheng Qing had no sense of direction at all, so he could only run slowly with the black cat in front of him.

The bamboo forest in the distance gradually thinned out, and the light from outside slowly penetrated.

was going out, Zheng Qing was a little reluctant in his heart, and he decided to come here tomorrow for a morning run.

After running out of the bamboo forest, Zheng Qing couldn't help but squint his eyes with an instantly open vision and bright light.

Opening his eyes and swallowing his saliva, he couldn't help but squint again.

In front of him was an open lawn, and a few hundred meters away, an ochre-yellow six-story building squatted peacefully in the lawn. The building is surrounded by flower beds, rockeries and fountains. The lawn is surrounded by these tall and silent bamboo forests.

Is there such a building by the Fen River? Zheng Qing couldn't help but touch his armbag.

seemed to feel Zheng Qing's hesitation, and the black cat not far in front of him barked.

That's not what the cat barked at, the corners of his mouth twitched.

The black cat didn't care what he was thinking, shook its tail, and turned and ran towards the ochre-yellow building.

Zheng Qing looked behind him, and the bamboo forest, which was originally fresh and comfortable, suddenly had a deeper atmosphere. The feeling of remoteness discouraged him.

Without this cat to lead the way, you will definitely get lost inside.

Sighing, Zheng Qing took out a small gray cloth bag from his arm bag and quietly held it in the palm of his hand.

From time to time, the black cat leading the way in front encountered other small animals, such as squirrels, rabbits, foxes, and even a milky white piglet. Every time they touched one, the black cat would stop and say hello to them. These little animals are also strangely tight, not only are they not afraid of Zheng Qing, but they will circle around him twice curiously, as if they are looking at something.

A figure could be seen faintly at the entrance to the building.

The black cat stopped by the flower pond at the entrance of the building, flicked its tail, and motioned for Zheng Qing to enter.

"You're not going in?" Zheng Qing glanced at it.

The black cat snorted, leaped into the lush flower bed, and disappeared.

From the outside, the building has a compact layout. But after entering, Zheng Qing found that the layout inside was very open.

Facing the gate is a hall with a radius of 100 meters, and on the left and right sides of the hall are two deep corridors, which are dark and silent without lights. Eight pillars stood in the four corners of the hall, and between each two pillars was a closed black door.

A few men in black robes walked through the hall, most of them with serious expressions and hurried steps, seemingly completely oblivious to a stranger entering the doorway.

Zheng Qing looked at it for a moment, picked a girl with a delicate face and a ponytail, walked a few steps, stopped her, and asked with a blank face: "Hello, I don't know ...... here."

"New here?" the girl interrupted him with a quick voice, looking a little anxious.

Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly.

"Take an exam, or a talent test, or a faith test, or mock battle?"

Zheng Qing looked dazed: "Exam?"

He only heard the word clearly.

"The exam is here. The girl grabbed Zheng Qing's arm, came to the black door between the two pillars in the northeast corner, opened the door, and pushed Zheng Qing in.

The girl's strength is surprisingly large, and before Zheng Qing can react to what is going on, the person is already standing inside the black gate.

It is a large lecture hall with nearly 100 rows in front and back, and the light cast by the eight tall glass windows around it makes the classroom look extraordinarily bright. At this moment, there are hundreds of people sitting in the dark in the classroom, bowing their heads and doing test papers, and the classroom is extremely quiet against the rustling sound of pens.

Zheng Qing turned around, and the door behind him had been quietly closed for some time.

He tugged lightly, but the door didn't open.

"You're late!" a serious voice came from the podium in the distance. At this distance, Zheng Qing could only see clearly that it was a tall figure, also wearing the black robes of those people outside.

A few figures around him who answered the question quietly cast a glance, making Zheng Qing's words that he was about to say swallow back into his stomach.

When it comes to exams, it's the most taboo to be noisy.

"The test paper is in front of you, and you are about fifteen minutes or so behind the others. Don't be stunned, hurry up and do the questions!"

Zheng Qing saw that there was indeed an empty space not far in front of him, on which was placed a set of test papers, complete with paper and pencils.

I definitely didn't sign up for this exam. Zheng Qing knew it very well in his heart.

Maybe somebody is really late, and I'll give up my seat when he comes.

He sat down silently and gently picked up the paper, he was curious about what kind of exam it was.

The huge bold letters on the front of the test paper are unusually clear:

2008 Higher School of Wizarding Mathematics Entrance Examination (9 papers)

Zheng Qing shook his head and blinked, he felt that he was hallucinating.

He tried to open the gray cloth bag in his hand, but found that the cloth bag that could be easily opened on weekdays was tightly tied and could not be untied.

"Knock! knock!" a slender hand curled his index finger and lightly clasped it on the table in front of Zheng Qing.

Zheng Qing raised his head and only saw a pair of dark red eyes.

is an invigilator.

"Only the paper and pencil issued by the examination room are allowed to answer the questions, and other special needs can be raised. ”

Zheng Qing smiled dryly, stuffed the soft gray cloth bag into his trouser pocket, and opened the first page of the test paper.

Note: This test paper is divided into two parts, Volume 1 and Volume 2, with a total of 20 pages, Volume 1 is a compulsory question, and Volume 2 is an optional question. The maximum score is 500 points, and the exam time is 300 minutes. Please use a 0.57 mm pen to answer the questions, and it is strictly forbidden to bring your own brushes, quill pens and other specifications of pens. Before answering the questions, please pay attention to sign your real name on the front page. After answering the questions, the invigilator will collect the test papers.

Please follow the invigilator's exam room discipline.

No cheating!

Turning the second page of the test paper, Zheng Qing scratched his hair.

The content on the volume was surprisingly ordinary, and Zheng Qing found that many of the contents were from the notebooks he practiced daily.

Maybe you'll be able to go out after finishing the papers. He looked up at the figures around him who were immersed in answering questions, sighed, and picked up the signature pen next to the test paper.

I don't know how long it took, Zheng Qing, who had finished answering the papers, lay on the table and squinted, waiting for the invigilator to collect the papers.

When you go out in a while, you must find the black cat and poke the little chrysanthemum a hundred times, he thought in a daze.

"Get up, get up, it's time for you to go home!" a violent shaking woke Zheng Qing up.

"Hand in!" he widened his eyes and reached forward to touch it, poking into the air.

A burst of laughter rang out in his ears.

He opened his eyes, turned his head to look around, the empty and quiet classroom before going to bed completely disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was a small and noisy KTV private room.

"You're done!" You're free! There's no exam!" a dark-faced fat man shouted in his ear, his ears buzzing.

Zheng Qing looked around blankly, his mind was still in a half-fragmented state, and he vaguely saw more than a dozen figures hugging each other, singing loudly.

"Friends go together for a lifetime, and there will be no more ...... in those days"

It seemed to be an explosion before the end, and the atmosphere in the private room reached its peak in an instant, and a large glass of beer was also stuffed into Zheng Qing's hands.

When the beer is poured into his stomach, the strange exam not long ago is forgotten, and Zheng Qing's memory is reconnected to his normal life: he was reunited with his classmates after the college entrance examination.

As for running and exams?

It's just a dream.
