Chapter 64: Holidays
In the first few days after the start of the holiday, Mu Zilei threw away all distractions and had fun with the ghost tiger. They had snowball fights in the snow, built snowmen, and when it was cold and wet, they went back to the common room of the dormitory building to have a fire, and the common room was far less crowded than usual, so they could enjoy the warmest and most comfortable chairs by the fire. They often sat by the stove for hours on end, brought in a hairpin, and baked everything they could put on the stove to cook: bread, baked bread, sausages...... They were planning how to drive the annoying Ouyang Jie, Shi Chisha, Shi Haoyu, the Mu brothers and the big worm out of the school, which was a topic they were very interested in during their small talk.
Happy days always fly by, and in the week before the end of the holidays, they have to focus on the huge amount of homework that their teachers have piled up, because there are no exams in the first semester of Bacon School, but their final grades are determined by the quality of the work they complete. Mu Zilei and Ghost Tiger lamented and yawned, spending most of their free time in the library, trying to complete the accumulated homework.
"I can't remember this. One evening, Ghost Tiger said in frustration, threw down his quill, and began to rummage through the books on the way of trade piled high on his desk, and after a while, he picked out a book called "The History of the Origin of the Wan Chamber of Commerce", and Mu Zilei found that Ghost Tiger was far more interested in this area than in his homework.
For Mu Zilei, he was more interested in the study of ancient runes, and at this moment he had just finished all the rune homework left by Professor Gao Yan, and began to try to find the word "fu" in a book of "Ancient Runes" as thick as a brick, until he was touched by the ghost tiger and did not raise his head.
Lin Dumb hid behind a bookshelf, looking suspicious, looking out through the bookshelf from time to time, while his hands kept rummaging through the books he had pulled out, sometimes bowing his head in contemplation, sometimes recording something.
Soon after, he left, but one man followed him, followed by the swollen Duanmuan.
"What are he looking for?" Mu Zilei said thoughtfully, how could Duanmu An follow him?
"Do you think this has anything to do with Fang Shi?" said Ghost Tiger, who later told him about the thief Guild and his idea that Lin Dumb was one of them, "I'll go see what book he was looking for just now." ”
After a while, he came back with a large pile of books in his arms, and he threw them violently onto the table.
"It's all about the Bacon School!" he whispered, a local name of the book, "The School of the Six Pointed Stars," "The History of the Forgotten School," and "Two or Three Things About the Bacon School"—"
"He's looking for clues about Fang Shi," Mu Zilei said, "Duanmu An must have thought so too, so he followed Lin Adu." ”
"If he is really a member of the Thieves' Society, then Duanmu'an is in danger. Let's go out and have a look. ”
They inquired along the way, and finally found them at the edge of the Forest of Refinement.
They carefully hid behind a tree and looked through the bushes.
In a gloomy clearing, Lin Ah stood there, but not alone, Duanmuan was also there. Mu Zilei couldn't see his face, but he couldn't speak even more than before, which made it difficult to listen.
"Lin Ah ...... Dumb, you...... You already knew I was with ...... Track you, come ...... Specially cited ...... Who brought me here?"
"It's quiet here, no one will get in my way," Dumb Lin said, his tone was cold, "the top floor of the cafeteria, the crystal secret room, you shouldn't be there in both places." ”
Isn't there only the man-eating twin flowers on the top floor of the cafeteria?
Mu Zilei and Ghost Tiger leaned forward. Lin Dumb was muttering when Lin interrupted him.
"Don't let me find proof that you're a member of that organization......"
"I-it's just, by mistake -- misunderstanding. ”
"I warn you, if I find out you're stalking me again, I'll discount your pork leg. Lin Dumb said, taking a step forward towards him. Mu Zilei remembered the encounter of breaking the limbs of the broken army under the Fang Gate, and his scalp was numb.
"I-I don't-know you-"
"You know exactly what I mean. ”
A flying letter cat "meowed" through the forest, causing the ghost tiger to jump in fright. Mu Zilei pulled him back behind the tree in time, and heard Lin Ah say in a daze, "Don't be verbose, I'm waiting." ”
"But—but I don't—no. ”
"Very well," Lin said, "I hope your head isn't as stupid as you look." ”
He hurried out of the clearing. It was almost dark, but Mu Zilei could still see Duanmu An standing there quietly like a stone.
"We guessed right," Ghost Tiger said to Mu Zilei as they left the forest, "Lin Dumb is indeed a member of the Thief Society, and he is now threatening Duanmu An to keep him out of the way, Lin Dumb must be looking for Fangshi's whereabouts." I see that I am so frightened, Duanmuan must not dare to act rashly again. ”
What they didn't expect was that Duanmu An was braver than they imagined. In the days that followed, he did become more silent, but his attention to Dumb Lin did not change at all, only more secretive, because one night, when Mu Zilei woke up in the middle of the night, he saw that his bed with Dumb Lin was empty again.
These days, Mu Zilei gives him a smile of encouragement every time he is with Duanmu, and Ghost Tiger begins to reprimand those who make fun of Duanmu An's cowardice and cowardice, in his mind, Duanmu Anke is a descendant of the members of the Guardian Society, a brave guardian.
On the last day of the holiday, the students rushed back to the school one after another. Shadow Dance also returned to school, and also brought a reply from his family to Mu Zilei, and as soon as he returned to the dormitory, he couldn't wait to open the letter.
From the letter, Mu Zilei learned that everything was fine with his family, and they warned him to be cautious about using water drops of jade to practice the "Alien Spirit Strategy", after all, they still remembered Mu Zilei's adventurous practices during the village examination, and also suggested that he humbly ask his mentor Nie Renzhen for advice. In addition, for the whereabouts of "fu", his mother Mu Wan'er has already been mentally prepared, knowing that this is not something that can find out the result overnight, so let him not worry, everything is on the premise of safety.
At the end of the letter, they also mentioned a girl named Nangong Yu, a girl from the Bacon School who took a few people to stay at the village chief's house, they traveled all the way from Shashi Town to the thirteen villages of the Stone Belt, and followed the trail of a corpse girl, and now the snow is covering the mountain, and when the snow melts, they will go to the last village, Linshi Village.
At this time, Mu Zilei remembered that since he said goodbye to Nangong Yu in the Spirit Arena, he hadn't seen her for nearly half a year, and he couldn't imagine that she had been wandering around the Stone Belt area looking for the wanted criminal named Mo Ziling.
Just then, he was interrupted by a crisp metal crash, and the tiger happily threw a large bag of coins in his hand and pushed open the door of his dormitory.
"Report to the master, fortunately not dishonored," Ghost Tiger presented the money bag with both hands and said solemnly, "Our dues are back with interest." ”
"Don't make a fuss, I'm just a nominal master," Mu Zilei pushed open the money bag and said, "How did you do it?"
"It's just an opportunity to make a deal with the help of the food supply team in the canteen," Ghost Tiger said lightly, and he changed his words sharply, "By the way, I heard Duanmu'an's voice at the door of the canteen's warehouse just now. ”
"Is he dumb with Lin?" asked Mu Zilei with his eyebrows raised.
"No," Ghost Tiger said, "he's talking to someone else, and the person says they've notified the relevant people in the organization and made arrangements." Duanmu An replied that he would continue to pay attention to Lin Dumb. With that, he departed, and I did not think he had noticed that I was beside me, so as soon as his footsteps had died away, I slipped into the warehouse, but there was only one cook in it, still dumb, but the other door at the end of the warehouse was ajar. I'm willing to bet the man just left through the half-open door.
"Then it seems that the defending party will have intervened," Mu Zilei said, "Duanmuan has already laid out the chess pieces, and it is Lin Adu's turn." ”
