Chapter 14 Publicly-funded students cannot afford to buy pets
Zheng Qing stood in front of the door of Sanyou Study, looking dazed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the age of eight, he began to practice calligraphy with his husband, Zheng Qing spent his childhood and youth in the Sanyou Book House, and entered the youth. Ten years can make one forget a lot of things, and one can also remember a lot of things.
For example, the name of the bookstore, the layout of the bookstore, and the taste of the bookstore.
The Sanyou bookstore in front of me is exactly the same as the store opened by my husband from the name to the layout, only the taste is slightly different.
Because this bookstore is closed, it has a bit of a deserted atmosphere.
The door of the study house was closed, and a thick layer of dust fell under the eaves and on the window edges, and no one had come for a long time.
Zheng Qing stepped forward and looked through the dim glass into the study room, and it was pitch black.
There are faint green spots of light.
He wasn't sure if he was dazzled.
"Textbooks should be bought at the Sanwei Bookstore. Thomas shouted not far away, "Over here!"
Zheng Qing patted the dust on his hands and left the windowsill in a huff.
Inside the house, a yellow civet blinked and sneezed, blowing up dust all over the ground.
Across the stationery store, the two bookstores are in opposite situations.
There are many customers at the Sanwei Bookstore, and most of them are young people.
According to Thomas, this store, like Yun Xiangyi, belongs to the cooperative merchants of First University. Many of the school's procurement requirements are in accordance with their standards.
"First University, a compulsory textbook for freshmen. Government-funded students. Thomas said succinctly to the clerk behind the counter.
"Wait a minute. The clerk smiled professionally, wrote down a few words, rubbed the paper, and threw it away.
The paper ball floated into the air, turned into a flying crane, and flew along the aisle to the back of the store.
"Why is the bookstore next to it closed?" Zheng Qing looked at the paper crane enviously and asked casually: "These two bookstores have such similar names, are they the same boss?" ”
His intuition told him that the Sanyou Book House that was closed next to him was the Sanyou Book House opened by Mr.
But why the gentleman left here and lived in seclusion in his ordinary neighborhood is very debatable.
Countless martial arts stories such as conspiracy, love and hate, revenge and many other episodes are tumbling and hovering in Zheng Qing's mind.
He could only be cautious and knock on the side, lest he bring trouble to his husband.
The stiff smiling face of the clerk at the Three Flavors Book House did not change in the slightest, and he looked ahead, not the slightest reaction to Zheng Qing's question.
Thomas glanced at him and replied slowly: "It's nothing more than the boss's fault." There are so many closed shops in the mall, and you have time to care about this, so you might as well care about what is on the list that you haven't bought. I have to travel thousands of miles at night to fill out a report. ”
Zheng Qing felt that his gaze was meaningful, and quickly extinguished the idea of continuing to ask.
"Your stuff, please put it away. The crane flew back to the counter with a cardboard box, and the clerk smiled mechanically, opened the wooden box, and pushed it in front of Thomas.
"Hmm. Thomas glanced at it and pulled Zheng Qing to the box: "Check the list." ”
Zheng Qing took out the list full of books and counted them one by one.
"Yao Xiaomi's standard spells, Emma's astronomy, Zhang-Sima's basic talismans, Li Qihuang's potions, Yi Jiazi's divination, Great History, Karl's philosophy of magic...... What is this?" At the end of the count, Zheng Qing held up a book with a very simple binding and asked, "There is no such book in the book list, is it a mistake?"
"This is an admission guide from the school. Every year, new students get lost in school or accidentally injure kappa in Bell Lake. So the old students of the student council have compiled this book so that you can take a little less detour in school. Thomas sighed, "Although the book is poorly bound, the contents are worth a look." ”
Zheng Qing nodded and stuffed the book "Into the First University" into a cardboard box.
"The book list was handed to the clerk. Thomas commanded.
Zheng Qing handed the blue-colored book list to the clerk with a stiff face.
The clerk held the paper up in front of him, his eyes wide open, his eyes squeaked and bulged, and two golden rays of light shot out, and he scanned the list several times.
When the book list was returned to his hand, Zheng Qing found that the string of books on it had disappeared. The names that had disappeared were sitting in the boxes next to them.
"You don't have space equipment?" Thomas looked curiously at Zheng Qing's appearance as he prepared to carry the box, and couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, you said that, I have it. Zheng Qing couldn't help but look around, his face was slightly red: "In the past, Mr. didn't let me use this at will outside. ”
As he spoke, he reached out and took out the palm-sized gray cloth bag embroidered with golden runes from his arms, and shook the mouth of the bag against several boxes stacked together.
Several boxes suddenly turned into streamers and burrowed into the bags.
"Very nice pockets. The clerk with a stiff face suddenly praised him next to him, startling Zheng Qing.
He had always thought that these clerks would only program mechanical problems.
Before leaving the bookstore, Zheng Qing glanced back at the Sanyou Bookstore next to him.
The deserted courtyard looks so unique in the bustling Four Seasons Square.
He decided to find his husband as soon as he got home and ask him about it.
Thomas frowned and walked slowly ahead, as if thinking about something.
The two of them fell into a strange quiet atmosphere for a while.
It wasn't until they passed by a few pet stores that the chatter of small animals in cages outside the shop broke the silence again.
A thin falcon stood on the eaves of the house, looking down on all beings proudly.
In the mud nest under the eaves, a few swallows are looking around with their heads exposed, and a few snoozing black bats hang on the tenon and tenon frame next to them.
On the wall, two lizards scurry around with their slender claws, occasionally spitting out bright red tongues to intimidate the buzzing flies.
In the open space in front of the store, three milk cats are beating a fat mouse, and a rabbit next to him is holding his radish and watching it with relish.
"These little things are so interesting!" Zheng Qing muttered as he looked at the poor big mouse with bared teeth.
"Yes!" Thomas came back to his senses, a satisfied smile on his face, "The biggest difference between us wizards and Bai Ding is our awe and love for nature, and our good friendship with these nature partners. As a wizard, you can dislike spells, but you can't dislike these critters. ”
"Then can I buy one?" Zheng Qing was shocked when he heard this, and quickly raised his head, with a hint of longing in his eyes.
"No, you can't. Thomas shook his head dryly, "You are a state-funded student at the school, and the scholarship is only enough for you to prepare your study supplies." Even your living expenses have to be figured out by yourself, not to mention pets. ”
