Chapter Eighty-Eight: Heavy Snow
When the snow comes, the rain and snow fall.
The weekend of the fourteenth week coincided with heavy snow in the 24th solar term.
Since last night, the weather on Phuket Island has been a bit gloomy, and the wind has become a little more somber. At lunchtime, the young public-funded student who had made up for his sleep lifted the curtain, the sky was still gray, the sun seemed to have lost its color and heat, and only the cold light remained, silently pouring down to the world in the howling wind.
It was quiet in the dormitory.
The bed of the fat man and Xiao Xiao was empty, and there was no one in front of the desk, so it was estimated that one of them went to the library and the other went to the school newspaper editorial room. The tent on Dylan's bed was tightly closed, and through the gap in the curtain, the shadow of the big black coffin inside could be faintly seen, and I wondered if Mr. Vampire Werewolf was still taking a nap.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Zheng Qing, he's just a wizard who just woke up and wants to pee.
The sound of the curtain tearing open woke up the other tenants in the dormitory - the fat cat nestled on the fat man's pillow, clumped his round body into a ball, buried his head in the crook of his forearm, and when he heard the sound, he only shook his ears, and didn't even bother to open his eyelids. And the group of elves raised at public expense cheered up, left the warm belly of the fat cat, flapped their wings, and flew away.
Just in the blink of an eye, they were holding toothpaste, water cups, cold water kettles, hot water kettles, hot towels, and freshly cleaned robes, lined up in a row with low front and high back, floating in front of Zheng Qing in a regular manner, waiting for him to get up.
"You go back to sleep, and I can do this myself. The young student muttered vaguely, but his tone was a little helpless. Ever since he freed the elves from some of their bonds, they have replaced them with him, and as time went on, they have become more and more spiritual.
In the past, no one instructed them, these little guys would only hang on Zheng Qing's tent in a daze, never willing to take a step out of the dormitory, even if they were frightened, they would only hold their heads with their wings and tremble in private.
And now, when they are free, they will sneak out of the balcony, go to the flower garden to pick a few fresh small flowers, come back and insert them into the high-waisted vase of the 403 dormitory, and then throw the previously withered bouquet outside, and when they are tired, they will also find a comfortable place to sleep with their heads covered, such as the paper house given to them by the witches of the Astronomy 08-1 class, the belly of the fat cat, and Zheng Qing's quilt - relatively speaking, the soft and hot belly of the fat cat is their favorite bed.
In addition, the service ability of the elves has also been greatly improved. At the beginning, they would only help Zheng Qing carry clothes, find shoes and socks, and make beds and desks. Now, they are able to take the initiative to boil hot water, make tea, grind ink, lay paper, and even clean and organize their clothes in an orderly manner.
There is no need for any orders from Zheng Qing at all, and it is more intimate and meticulous than what the professional servants of those wizard families do.
If one day, these little guys held a quill and helped Zheng Qing meticulously complete the extracurricular homework and even the experiment reports assigned by the professors, I am afraid that he would not be surprised at allβand maybe even have some expectations
This change not only made Zheng Qing feel gratified, but also made him a little uneasy.
Thankfully, the elves seemed to have shaken off the shadow of their previous master's death and started their lives anew, but uncomfortingly, he felt that it was not appropriate for the elves to serve him in this way.
He couldn't say what was wrong.
Maybe it's because he thinks he's just a student and has no foundation and doesn't deserve such a service, maybe it's because he's always felt that the elves are the same intelligent beings and there's no reason to do such trivial chores, or maybe it's just because he hasn't paid the elves a salary.
In short, he felt that he could not accept such meticulous care from the elves with peace of mind.
In this regard, when he visited Dr. Duzem at the Institute of Abnormal Life, the young public-funded student had an in-depth discussion with the doctor.
The Doctor was unimpressed by his cautiousness and foresight:
"Life in the world always has its own meaning. They think it's good, so they do it. If you interfere with their choices at will, what's the difference between what you oppose and what you oppose?"
"As for the salary you mentioned, I think you should be more valuable than any copper and jade coins for helping them live. β
"After all, in this world, time is a currency that is stronger than money and credits. β
"Every minute and every second of their existence is paid for by you...... And you're just borrowing part of their time. Very fair and very reasonable. β
"You must know that life is precious, and it is not something that can be added or subtracted by one second. β
The words were reasonable, and Zheng Qing was speechless, which also made him finally begin to slowly accept the changes of the elves. Compared to him, the other wizards in dormitory 403 were obviously more receptive to it - whether it was hot water that was ready at all times, desks that were always tidy and clean, piggyback on new clothes to help them clean, or flower arrangements that seemed to be forever fresh, they were all extremely satisfied and full of praise from the other young wizards in the dormitory.
Thoughts flashed through my head.
Zheng Qing took the water cup, rinsed his mouth with warm water, then took the toothbrush, brushed his teeth, squinted his cotton slippers, squinted his hazy eyes, and staggered to the balcony.
The door frames of balconies and dormitories are engraved with many small, dense runes, which have many effects such as warmth, sound insulation, and wind protection.
Beyond the door frame, a cold air rushed towards the face, which made people suddenly sober up. The young student shivered involuntarily and couldn't help but bite the toothbrush that was working hard in his mouth.
"Open your mouth, you idiot!" the relief figure on the handle of the toothbrush folded his hands on his hips, glared angrily at the young wizard, and shouted, "I have never seen you so difficult to serve...... You bite the brush, how can I still work!"
Zheng Qing sniffled and immediately reopened his mouth.
"It's so cold!" he sighed, "It's really snowing today!"
Today is the heavy snow season, so he naturally knows about it. Yesterday he had also discussed with a few of the hunters of the Sin Hunting Team about the madness of a certain agency that manages the weather at the school. He even knew that a certain blue-eyed broker had been selling gambling tickets the other day, about whether it would snow today, how much snow would fall if it did, and so on.
"Shut up! Don't speak! Your tongue licks the toothpaste foam off your brush!"
