Chapter 37: The Beginning of Summer
Tuesday, May 5th.
Solar terms, the beginning of summer.
It is advisable to marry, make an alliance, open a light, sacrifice, and seek medical treatment;
Don't, migrate, enter a house, build a house, set up a horse.
Zheng Qing didn't know much about what kind of horse 'Jia Ma' was when he was a child, and he always felt that the word 'Jia' was fake, and the word 'Jia' was much easier to understand - avoid 'Jia Ma', which means that you should stay at home honestly on this day and don't go out casually.
It wasn't until I grew up and knew that the 'horse' was built on the beams of the house, and this misunderstanding was solved. But at the same time, Zheng Qing became more and more speechless about the old yellow calendar. Just like today's taboo, there is already a house built, but it is not superfluous to add a 'horse'.
That being said, there is always no shortage of such 'superfluous' things in life.
For example, after Reezer and Augustus both destroyed half of the street in Beta Town, the town's management committee took the trouble to send a lawyer's letter and punishment results to the two of them, such as the hearing held by the student council after Zheng Qing injured Seprano, and for example, the school issued a temporary notice on Tuesday, announcing that the Silent Forest was as silent as ever, and the northern district of Beta Town was as safe as ever.
It looks like a botched burlesque.
But every actor in the play acted extremely seriously, as if what they said and did was essential.
Faintly, Zheng Qing has a deeper understanding of 'order'.
Today is Tuesday.
In the afternoon was an astronomy lesson.
As the rotating chair of the Joint Professors' Conference of the First University in May, Professor Emma is much more responsible than Professor Yao, and therefore much busier. Therefore, it is inevitable that I will be a little relaxed about teaching.
According to the students in the morning Magic Text, Professor Emma even forgot to give them their homework.
Sounds like good news.
Zheng Qing sincerely hopes that the Astronomy 08-1 class will also have such good luck - for this reason, he would rather do something that seems to be a bit 'superfluous', divination.
The divination of the young wizards does not change the minds of the great wizards, but it can prepare the young people psychologically.
Of course, because of his scumbag divination skills, Zheng Qing did not plan to do it himself. Professional matters must always be handled by professionals. For example, the dispensing of medicine was handed over to Xin Fatzi, the training of the hunting team was handed over to the elders, and the chanting of scriptures was handed over to the little monks.
It is absolutely right to hand over the matter of divination to Dr. Xiao.
The spring cold is gone, and the scorching heat is coming, and the temperature at this time is just like the mood of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, sensitive and changeable. It is often a little cool in the morning, and people who are hot at noon are itchy.
After coming out of the study room, Zheng Qing walked around the campus with a new standard law book in his arms.
The original law book that was privately ordered in Xia Yuan Bookstore was sealed by Mr. because it recorded the 'starting style' of the forbidden spell. In the words of the gentleman, 'When it's time to open it, you can open it'.
That sounds like nonsense.
But after all, a gentleman is a gentleman, that is, he talks nonsense, and the students can only obediently write down their notes and listen honestly to the teachings.
When I returned to the 403 dormitory, as soon as I opened the door, a thick smoke rushed towards me, choking the young public-funded students to tears, coughing repeatedly, and instantly feeling a little confused.
"What's wrong? Fire, do you want to report to the school!" the young student screamed, "Is everyone still alive?"
"I'm dying. Dylan's weak voice came from the coffin, and it sounded like an urn.
This made Zheng Qing feel a little relieved.
Since Mr. Vampire Werewolf is still in the mood to put the lid on the coffin, it means that things haven't gotten worse yet, and Dylan doesn't need to run away with the coffin.
"You weren't alive in the first place. Fat Xin habitually scolded Dylan, and then screamed: "...... You've scratched my face! It's just a bubble of bubbles, not a glass ball!"
The smoke was mixed with a few angry cat meows.
Zheng Qing became more and more at ease.
"What's going on? Who's doing magic experiments in the dormitory?" he asked with the majesty of a public scholarship student.
Students are strictly forbidden to do magic experiments in the dormitory, and violators will be punished by school rules.
Zheng Qing also had a 'school probation' on his back, and he didn't want his backyard to catch fire at this juncture.
"No, ahem, no experiments...... It was just an accident. ”
Dr. Xiao's explanation came out of the smoke with the sound of coughing, and he seemed a little out of breath: "...... I just tried the traditional gypsy method of divination...... Obviously, when the male witch uses this divination, he is prone to magic allergies. ”
Zheng Qing squinted his eyes and held his breath as he walked through the thick smoke.
Xiao Xiao was sitting cross-legged in front of a small brass basin, with all sorts of strange magical materials to the left and right—dried moss, red mushrooms with silvery-white spots, dried reindeer cartilage, owl eyes, and a few pieces of steaming ice.
Zheng Qing was very skeptical that those white translucent solids were real ice cubes, because he had never seen a wizard throw ice cubes into the white flames, and the flames burned more and more intensely.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao was using a slender bone strip that looked like an animal rib to stir the flames in the copper basin, did he grab a little material around him and throw it in, allowing black, gray, blue and white smoke to overflow from the copper basin and crowd the entire dormitory.
"What are you looking at?" Zheng Qing noticed that Xiao Xiao was staring intently at the cloud of smoke in front of him, and couldn't help but ask.
"You should drink some of this and see. Fat Xin handed Zheng Qing a wooden cup, filled with a suspicious pale yellow liquid, vaguely steaming - Zheng Qing looked at the undisguised malicious smile on the fat man's face, and very politely and politely refused:
"Thanks, my divination skills are poor, so I won't have to work hard. ”
The fat man couldn't hide the look of disappointment on his face.
"So, what do you want to see?" Zheng Qing asked in a different way, and looked at Xiao Xiao again - he didn't have much time to ink here with the doctor, he still had something to ask.
But Xiao Xiao's answer made him have to shut up.
"Looking for the sheep, Lin Guo's black goat...... Tortoise shells, crystal balls, tarot cards have all been used, and there are no clues. The line chart is not even as effective as the Elder Grass in terms of finding. ”
Dr. Xiao's tone was a little gloomy, but his eyes were always glued to the smoke, and he just muttered and explained, "Of course, in addition to looking for sheep, I also want to see if I can graduate from school safely...... The kind that doesn't lack parts on the body. ”
Zheng Qing's face suddenly darkened.
There is no doubt that Dr. Siu meant something.
"I've been protesting all morning," Dylan's head poked out of the coffin, his eyes red, whether it was because of staying up late, or because he was smoked—or if he was a vampire's anger building up to the extreme:
"But it didn't work...... You're the head of 403, you should do something. ”
The last sentence he said to Zheng Qing.
Zheng Qing reacted at this time, he was still the head of the 403 dormitory. He hadn't performed his duties for a long time, and he didn't react to what he should do for a while-the work of sanitation, sprinkling and cleaning, which usually belonged to the head of the house, had long been disposed of by the group of elves he raised.
"Well, Doctor, you can't light a fire in your dorm. He shook his head, trying to soften his tone: "Everyone is responsible for a good dormitory environment...... You've made this a wilderness. ”
"It's better to be in the wilderness!" Dylan shouted, slamming the coffin under him, "I can still look at the stars and breathe fresh air in the wilderness...... Can you do it here?"
