Chapter 9 A New Atmosphere
Of course, although there were only two people in the corner, there were other people in the ward β including Nicholas, Liu Feifei, and a nurse in charge of dressing changes and examinations.
So although Zheng Qing was a little weak-hearted, he didn't have the feeling of fear before.
On the contrary, because everyone else left, many of the words that were originally a little sensitive could also be said openly, and Zheng Qing was a little more comfortable than before.
"Shall we go now?" the young scholarship student always seemed a little clumsy when chatting with the girls. Perhaps that's what some witches find cute.
"Wait a minute," Jiang Yu glanced at the boy and snorted lightly, "Nicholas can be discharged from the hospital at noon...... After we had lunch at noon, we went straight to the Gini hut. β
"Let's eat together?" Zheng Qing said another stupid word.
"You can also eat by yourself, we will meet at the school gate. The witch said calmly, tearing a silkworm paper gift slip to shreds and throwing it into the trash can at her feet.
The boy immediately understood.
"Oh, let's eat together, it's a little more convenient. He snorted, turned his head to look at the hospital bed, and had nothing to say: "Can Nicholas be discharged from the hospital at noon?" I heard Xiao Xiao say that he was seriously injured yesterday. β
"We are wizards, and this is the campus hospital of First University. The witch was obviously puzzled by the boy's words, and reminded, "Even if his head falls off, it won't take a whole day to reconnect it, so why do you think he needs to lie in the hospital longer? Don't forget that after the blow up yesterday, you were alive and kicking that night......"
Zheng Qing was so frightened that he almost shoved his hand into the witch's mouth, but at the last moment, he realized that this behavior was very rude, and his face turned pale in a hurry.
"Shhhhhh......h
"It's okay, this is the school hospital, and the nurses have seen worse situations. The witch couldn't help but laugh: "Just now, there was a third-year senior downstairs who blew off his arm while doing an experiment...... Aren't you going to say a few words to Nicholas? You've been hiding in this corner since you entered the room. β
Zheng Qing turned around and found that the nurse who had changed the dressing had left, and the front of the hospital bed seemed much empty.
"I'm going. The boy took a small breath, calmed down, smiled on his face, waved his hand, and walked towards Nicholas.
The sun was shining outside the window, and the atmosphere inside the house was just right.
Zheng Qing spent his entire Sunday morning in the school hospital. As the only boy other than the sick number, he had to run up and down, submit medical records, and go to the pharmacy to pick up a few doses of medicine according to the prescription.
After sending Nicholas out of the hospital and having lunch with Jiang Yu, it was close to one o'clock in the afternoon.
"At this rate, we can expect to be back by five o'clock. The boy took out his pocket watch, looked at the time on it, and let out a long breath, only to feel physically and mentally exhausted. When I got into Mr.'s teapot yesterday, I didn't seem to feel this way.
But he felt that the witch next to him should be a little more tired.
Because just now he noticed that Jiang Yu had somehow changed into a floral dress, buckskin boots, and a soft-brimmed wide-brimmed hatβwhich was completely different from the red robe she wore in the morning.
Zheng Qing swore that he had been with Jiang Yu almost all the time from morning to now, and he had no idea when she would change into a new dress.
"Perhaps. Jiang Yu replied absentmindedly.
The witch's attention is clearly not on the boys, and since entering the North End, her attention has been drawn to the slightly 'lively' crowd on the streets.
Although many of the gray-robed magicians tried their best to suppress the joy in their hearts, the glow of 'hope' that appeared on their faces was very dazzling even in the midday sun.
"Do you think that today's North District is a little different?" the witch carefully looked left and right, her fingers subconsciously touching the spine of the law book, her fingertips flicking slightly.
"Different?" Zheng Qing finally woke up from the beautiful little white flowers on the witch's long skirt and looked around.
Jiang Yu didn't say anything, as soon as she said it, Zheng Qing also realized this.
In the North Quarter, many of the houses on both sides of the street looked like the most gloomy monastery, like desolate tombs, like desolate ruins, which made people look at it and feel depressed. Most of the time, the streets are quiet, and even pedestrians are wearing hoods over their heads and hurrying in their footsteps. Occasionally, there was an unfamiliar footstep or two, and a few ascetic faces would pop out of the bare windows on either side of the street, and their dim, cold gaze frightened the passers-by of all neighborhoods.
The North End is nothing more than the 'recess' that people in the wizarding world call it, and if the sun falls into this neighborhood, it will also be swallowed up, and there will be no hope.
And today, Zheng Qing feels a completely different and fresh atmosphere on this street.
The street is still the same street, hot in summer and cold in winter, with foul-smelling garbage piled up in corners, forever dark around corners, small stone pavements soaked purple by suspiciously colored liquids, and rotting and warped rafters on the walls.
But the people walking on the streets are very different from what they used to be.
An old trickster was carefully cleaning the dirty hair from the felt under him, smiling brightly at every guest who threw him copper. And his income today is unexpectedly large, and the copper in his felt hat is almost pointed.
A few patched little tricksters scurried around the crowd, giggling, but none of them reached into the pockets of passers-by. You must know that most of their income comes from their jobs on weekdays.
There is also a round-faced witch in a long colorful dress, dancing in the street, presenting a dew-stained rose to every passerby.
The whole street burst with a new vitality.
"North District...... Is this a happy event?" the boy wondered, and finally chose the right word and asked his girlfriend.
"Happy event?" Jiang Yu stared at a lock of gray-white hair hanging from the forehead of a passing wizard, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Maybe...... Did I tell you that Senior Sister Colmar has been promoted to the rank of Grand Wizard?"
"Nope. After the boy shook his head, he realized the message conveyed by the witch's words, and his mouth slowly grew: "Wait...... You mean, Colmar, the vice president of the student council...... Now it's a great wizard?a great wizard of the same rank as Su Shijun?!"
The last time we met, she was just a fourth-year student who had just crossed the Registered Wizard and had not yet graduated!
Jiang Yu was very satisfied with the shocked expression on the boy's face.
"Just after you blow it up yourself," the witch patiently explained, and finally sighed, "No wonder the school emphasizes the dangers of illegal magical experiments every year, but every year young wizards jump into that big pit...... Just by fighting hard, you can reach a position that many wizards can't reach in their lifetime. β
