The sky was getting darker. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This small street is like a giant dragon that has just woken up on the golden mountain, stretching its body lazily. Colorful gemstones slip off it and sparkle with a mesmerizing brilliance.

Zheng Qing took a small sip of the milk tea in the paper cup, carefully avoiding each pearl.

He didn't like the sticky texture of these things.

The other freshmen were lying on the bar with their nerves, waiting for their freshman mentor to return.

Nicholas lined up for them at a restaurant not far away to get their dining numbers.

The restaurant is said to offer the best value buffet in the entire town of Beta, and the tables are always tight.

"Don't worry! I'm familiar with the restaurant manager and I'll take care of it for you. ”

Before leaving, the freshman bought a cup of milk tea for each of the freshmen.

Jingle bells, dang chang.

Da-da, da-da.

The crisp sound of brass bells mixed with the sound of hooves hitting stone slabs echoed through the streets.

Zheng Qing raised his head.

A big black sheep with horns, dragging a small four-wheeled wooden cart, marched unhurriedly through the streets.

In the car sat a little boy with a mushroom head.

Turning the corner, there is a small clearing.

The boy clapped his hands.

The black-horned sheep stopped steadily and turned to look at the boy.

The boy jumped out of the car and gently stroked the black sheep's back.

"That stinky boy came to rub my milk tea again. The uncle of the bubble tea shop laughed and scolded, pulled out a large paper cup from behind the bar, and began to make milk tea.

"Who is he?" Zheng Qing asked with interest.

Lin Guo, the youngest student at First University in the past 100 years. The uncle of the bubble tea shop raised his head proudly: "It is also the pride of the entire Beta Town." ”

Xiao Xiao, who was smashing his head on the notebook next to him, raised his head and turned his head to look hard.

Zheng Qing glanced at his neck worriedly.

On his cheeks, the crimson marks pressed from the edge of the notebook were very conspicuous.

"Is he Lin Guo?" Xiao Xiao spread out his notebook and asked hurriedly.

"Don't you know?" Zheng Qing was a little strange, he remembered that on the special plane, Xiao Xiao had introduced him to the youngest student of the first university.

"I just know. Xiao Xiao rubbed his face, and the crimson marks on his cheeks quickly faded.

Street corner.

The boy removed the saddle from the black sheep's back and propped up the canopy of the four-wheeled cart.

A five-story improvised bookcase appears in the cold breeze on the streets of Beta.

He lifted a brown leather-covered four-legged stool from the car and placed it in front of the bookcase.

Then sit on your knees with your back straight.

"What is he doing?" Zheng Qing was a little curious.

"Setting up a stall – obvious. Xiao Xiao despised him.

"Has he been setting up a stall for a long time?" Zheng Qing looked at the owner of the bubble tea shop, ignoring Xiao Xiao's sarcasm.

"It's been on and off for a few years. ”

"How old is he?"

"Ten years old? eleven years at most. The boss nodded affirmatively.

Zheng Qinghu looked at Xiao Xiao suspiciously, he still remembered that the watermelon-headed boy mentioned in the morning that there were two twelve-year-old students this year, one was Li Meng, and the other was Lin Guo.

"Different calendars have different calculation calibers, eleven years old, twelve imaginary years. Xiao Xiao analyzed very seriously.

"What about his family?"

The owner of the bubble tea shop stopped what he was doing and sighed deeply:

"His family used to have a Lin family shop in Beta Town, which sold alchemy items. The old shop, which has been in town for some years. ”

"Three years ago, a fierce fire demon fled into Beta Town, burning more than a dozen shops along the way, and the Lin family's shop was also destroyed at that time. Decades old shop, once the fire passed, leaving only a ruin. ”

His family was burned. Early the next morning, the wizards, who had been busy all night, saw Lin Guo singing in the ruins shrouded in the morning mist. ”

"Singing?" a freshman next to him couldn't help but whisper.

"Yes, singing "Happy Little Frog", it was very popular at that time. The owner of the bubble tea shop held on to the bar and looked at the little boy not far away, his eyes were also full of confusion:

He sat neatly in the stroller, shaking the bell and singing over and over again. The weary wizards almost thought he was an evil spirit. ”

Zheng Qing looked at the thin figure silently, shook the bell, and sat quietly on the street.

Thinking of that sad morning three years ago, thinking of the nursery rhyme that pierced through the morning fog, a sour feeling welled up in my heart.

"Where does he live now?"

"The school arranged a dormitory for him. Don't underestimate him, he is the youngest student in the three hundred years of the First University, has a high talent in alchemy, and is a true genius. It is said that his name appeared on the school's roster two years ago, but the principal said that Lin Guo was too young, so it was delayed for two years. In the past two years, the school has provided him with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and helped him to study various basic subjects. It seems that he will officially enroll this year. ”

"Two years ago......" Zheng Qing's heart was overwhelmed by an even greater sourness.

A freshman who is less than ten years old is still in the same class as himself.

It's a reality that's more desperate than desperate.

"What does he usually sell?" asked a freshman next to him.

"Old textbooks and workbooks discarded by the senior grades, remnants of potions and talismans made by the students, some talisman paper, talisman pens, cinnabar, and herbs. Gossip and gossip in schools, private commissions from some students, recruitment plans promised by school workers. Wait a minute. His pickup van was very famous at First University, and the girls were happy to leave it to him to dispose of. The owner of the bubble tea shop looked at the freshmen with a smile: "He is very likable to girls." ”

"It's so colorful!"

"That's amazing!"

The newlyweds laughed, looked at the little boy not far away, and praised it.

"Excuse me, help hand the milk tea to the child. The uncle of the bubble tea shop patted Zheng Qing on the shoulder, pushed a fragrant drink from behind the bar, and pointed to the children who were setting up stalls on the street.

Paper cups are a bit hot to the touch.

Zheng Qing held the bottom of the cup and trotted all the way to the boy's sheep cart.

The boy sits in a regular manner, with a large heavy book spread out on his lap.

Zheng Qing glanced at the small print in the center of the header.

Principles of Alchemy: Third Year of University

His hands shook and he almost dropped the cup to the ground.

The boy looked up at Zheng Qing, his eyebrows were very light, and his eyes were dark and clear.

"Hello, this is given to you by the owner of the bubble tea shop. Zheng Qing held the paper cup and handed it to the boy, while reminding: "Be careful of burning your hands." ”

The boy folded the thick book on his lap and placed it on a small stool. stood up, bowed slightly, and then took the milk tea and placed it on the shelf next to the bookcase.

"Please help me look at the stall. The boy pursed his lips and explained a little shyly: "I'm going to thank the uncle at the bubble tea shop." ”

"No trouble, no trouble. Zheng Qing waved his hand again and again.

Lin Guo meticulously straightened his clothes, pulled the strap on his shoulder, and walked to the milk tea shop.

Zheng Qing noticed that he was carrying a blue backpack.

On the school bag, a Mickey Mouse is trying to stretch his neck to probe for the aroma of milk tea.

"It's not for you. Zheng Qing thought it was interesting and moved the milk tea farther away.

The Mickey Mouse motif jumped up and down the bag in anger, baring his teeth.

Zheng Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The black-horned black sheep pulling the cart squirmed its cheeks and turned its head to look at him.

There was contempt in his eyes.
