Someone once said, 'Life is a kind of rhythm, there must be light and shadow, left and right, sunny and rainy, and the taste is contained in this twists and turns that change but not fiercely', but Zheng Qing never thought that the twists and turns of life would be so full of 'rhythm'.

The dog is a voyeur, that's what he's always known.

But the dog is also a good dog, and can help him catch frogs and ducks, which the young public scholarship student just confirmed this evening.

This combination of light and shadow is like the gray-robed school workers in the school, which is a little incomprehensible.

Dormitory 403, which had just fallen asleep, woke up again to the noise of ducks.

The lights are on.

The three wizards squatted in the open space in the center of the dormitory, staring at the duck squatting on the ground in the middle, silent for a long time. The duck squatted on the floor with his neck curled, his little eyes blinking wildly, and his screams getting quieter and quieter.

The animals in the school are very spiritual, and they are able to distinguish which beings are a threat to them and which are not. For example, when the dog ran around by the neck, the duck could clearly feel the coming of death, but when it was surrounded by three young wizards, the shadow of death like a maggot on the tarsal bone suddenly dissipated.

Da Duck felt that he could still live.

So its cry became much more neutral and peaceful. This change also earned it the goodwill of the other residents of Dorm 403. The fat cat was originally annoyed by the noise of the duck, and stared at its fat neck unkindly, until the duck's cry was gentle, which made the fat cat's eyes a little kinder.

And the elves declared their friendship a little earlier. They love the fine fluff around the neck of the duck, and several elves compete with each other for the best 'seat', and they all want to hide their wings in the fluff.

"It's really a dog. Zheng Qing confirmed for the third time.

Fat Xin was a little impatient, stretched out his stubby fingers, and pinched the neck of Da Duck - the disturbed elves made a complaining sound, but Da Duck was unexpectedly calm, did not say a word, and even winked at the fat man - and then the fat man picked up the layer of fluff on the duck's neck and showed Zheng Qing:

"See......? Although it was not bitten, the redness and swelling were unmistakable. ”

The duck rattles in approval.

Zheng Qing pinched the duck's beak to quiet it down, and then let out a long breath.

"Sleep, sleep. ”

He frowned, as if he was brewing something: "It's late...... Sleep first. ”

"What about it?" the fat man pointed to the duck and yawned heavily, "It's in the house, can we sleep soundly?"

The duck shrank his head and squatted obediently at the foot of his desk, like a large quail. Zheng Qing glanced at it, originally planning to let it stay in the house for the night. But it suddenly occurred to me that the dog might sneak into the dormitory while everyone was sleeping, this duck was so spiritual, it would definitely make a lot of noise when the time came.

There was no need to sleep that night.

Thinking of this, the young public scholarship student stood up, pinched the wings of the duck and picked it up, walked to the balcony, tore open the window, and threw it out with a pop.

Although the duck looked chubby, its wings were very powerful, fluttering, and it landed peacefully in the grass. Then he ran away through the gap in the bushes.

Dormitory 403 was once again plunged into darkness.

Only this time, Zheng Qing did not fall asleep together. He sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, staring deeply at the darkness in the dormitory, listening to the slight or heavy snoring of his roommates, silently contemplating the thought in his heart.

Long.

It wasn't until his mind was a little foggy that the dog finally came again.

Because the other wizards were sleeping, this time the dog squatted generously in front of Zheng Qing, silently sticking out his tongue and waging his tail quickly. In the dark, its two green eyes seemed to suck up the belly of a lampworm behind the sap of the tree.

The wizard suddenly came to his senses, his legs crossed and laid on the ground, and he leaned forward slightly, moving closer to the dog. The dog paused back with a slight wince, as if sensing that the witch had no ill intentions, and quickly wagged his tail and put his head back together.

The whole process was very quiet, but Zheng Qing noticed that Tuan Tuan's snoring seemed to be a little thinner.

"You sent the duck?" the wizard didn't care about the details, but stared at the dog and asked in a whisper.

He still felt the need to reconfirm this fact.

In the darkness, the two lampworms flew up and down, drawing pale green bands of light. It was the dog nodding.

"Why do you keep following me?"

The dog tilted his head, as if he thought the question was strange, but it could also be because he didn't know how to answer. Zheng Qing smiled self-deprecatingly - he couldn't expect every cat or dog he met to speak.

The snoring in the dormitory was still calm, but much softer than before.

"You can understand me, right? ”

The wizard looked at the dog and nodded, and finally said the thought that had been in his heart for a long time: "Remember the wizard who hung you from the cat-fruit tree that night? Can you bring him to me...... You're not the same person you were that night anymore, and I'm sure you can do it. ”

Zheng Qing believes that after biting himself that day, something unknown must have happened to this dog. It is one manifestation that it is chasing itself to the death, and being able to come and go freely in defiance of the shackles of the school's guardian formation is another. And he believes that there is still a lot of potential for this change.

Just like the seed in him.

The dog was obviously hesitant, because the two lanterns were a little erratic, not as bright as they were at the beginning—which made Zheng Qing feel a little more confident. The high-level idea of 'hesitation' is not something that ordinary dogs can have. It's getting smarter these days.

After a few seconds, the dog still agreed to the wizard's request, nodded bravely, retracted his tail, and disappeared into the darkness of the dormitory.

Zheng Qing let out a long breath again.

He tucked his feet off the floor and sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed again.

The snoring in the dormitory has disappeared at some point.

"Do you have too high hopes for it?" Fat Xin's voice sounded from his bed, mixed with the slight purring of the fat cat, which was not so clear: "After all, it is just a dog......"

"I'm just a cat to him. Zheng Qing smiled and replied in a low voice, not at all curious about when the fat man came to his senses.

"It's still a bit reckless. Xiao Xiao sighed, although he couldn't see the movements clearly in the dark, Zheng Qing could still feel Xiao Xiao shaking his head:

“...... You've just figured out its background, and you don't know anything about its purpose, its ideas. Wouldn't it be nice to keep your distance from it as before? cause and effect, cause and effect, cause and effect, there is cause and effect...... Many of the big troubles are accumulated little by little because of these small causes and effects. ”

"There's too much trouble, so I don't care about it. Zheng Qing lay on his pillow with his head back, pulled the corners of his mouth, and showed a wry smile: "...... Being able to pull two troubles together, maybe they cancel each other out, and then there will be no more problems with me. ”

It's a beautiful idea.
