Chapter 82 The Fourteenth Saturday
December 6, Saturday, is the ninth day of the eleventh lunar month.
Appropriate, consecration, groundbreaking, demolition, construction;
Taboo: marriage, market opening, planting, breaking ground.
Nine o'clock in the evening.
On the shore of Linzhong Lake, in front of the cabin.
This is the fourteenth Saturday that Zheng Qing has come to First University, and it is also the thirteenth time that he has participated in the night patrol of Linzhong Lake organized by the school working committee. Everyone was already acquainted with each other, and the task process was familiar to him. The young public-funded student no longer had the initial fear.
Tomorrow will be the heavy snow among the twenty-four solar terms. This is the third solar term in winter, marking the official start of the midwinter season. According to the "Collection of Solar Terms", "heavy snow, November, and the snow is in full swing now." . ’
Zheng Qing is not sure whether it will snow in the next few days. Although the school's climate change is in the hands of a certain department, they always like to 'surprise' everyone with weather - such as a cold spell at the beginning of spring, sudden heavy snowfall in the hot summer, or... In autumn, when the air is crisp and clear, the clouds have been low for many days in a row.
In short, if you want to use normal logic or ordinary divination to calculate the weather conditions of the first heavy snow, you will always get it wrong seven or eight times out of about ten times. And the remaining one or two times mean that the wizard in charge of the weather is in a happy mood and does not. Just toss them.
But although the details may change, the general trend is irreversible.
For example, in midsummer, the daily temperature will not be lower than 30 degrees Celsius; during the plum rains, the total amount of rain will not be less than 6 feet, 3 inches, 8 minutes and 48 points; in mid-winter, even if it does not snow, the temperature will gradually drop and begin to exceed The freezing point line is slowly moving towards colder weather.
Because the weather is getting colder, the equipment for night patrols has also been changed.
Every patrol officer is issued a fine velvet cloak. Although the texture is unknown, it is very popular among everyone because it is light, soft and warm. In addition, those long wooden canes also have a wool cane cover added to the handle - among all the equipment, only the air-dead wind lamp hanging on the top of the cane has not changed at all, and it is still swaying in the cold wind. The big green flame is unhurried and slow.
Although the old school worker in charge of the night patrol at Linzhong Lake is no longer Verne, as first-year students at the First University, Zheng Qing and Lin Guo still continue the 'preferential treatment' they had received a long time ago and only need to be responsible Patrol mission along a short stretch of the lake corridor.
The cold wind came from nowhere and was biting, making a sound as it passed by and made the dead branches above my head whine.
Lin Guo sat cross-legged on the back of the black goat, wrapping himself tightly in a fine velvet cloak, like a rice dumpling, tightly exposing half of his head and a pair of dark eyes.
Zheng Qing looked at the little wizard with envy, wondering in his heart how comfortable and warm he should be now, but as an adult, he couldn't be as casual as the little wizard.
Fortunately, he also brought a biological warmer today, which can help him warm his cold hands at any time.
Zheng Qing moved Poseidon in his arms toward his belly, changed his hand, and stuffed it under the little fox's belly. After discovering that Poseidon's 'biological mother' was also in school, the young public servant Unconsciously, he felt a sense of urgency. The little fox that had been roaming freely in the petting zoo finally became concerned and began to go for a walk with it every two days.
Now, the night patrol of Linzhong Lake every Saturday night has become a fixed day for Zheng Qing and Poseidon to 'exchange feelings'.
But today, the little fox was obviously very dissatisfied with the young wizard who pulled it out of the warm tomb. It had been hiding in the pocket of the fine velvet cloak from the beginning, motionless, like a dead dog.
"At least you have long hair, so it's not that cold!" Zheng Qing scratched its belly and persuaded it earnestly: "Come out for a walk, the air outside is so good... sneeze!"
A breath of cool wind blew into his face, causing the young wizard to sneeze loudly. This kind of retribution made the little fox laugh wildly and roll around in the pocket of the fine velvet cloak.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh, I'll laugh you to death!" Zheng Qing had a dark face, put his hand into his arms, gently pinched the little fox's ears, and lectured: "You know that in order to sneak you out of the pet garden, I How many forms do I need to fill in? I didn’t even get enough sleep when I came back from the outside! You have to have a conscience as a human being... You also have to have a conscience as a fox!”
The little fox squeaked in his pocket, as if he was defending something.
Lin Guo, who was walking aside, suddenly turned around and looked at the young public-funded student: "Speaking of what happened in the morning... Captain, have you found the number of the pavilion?"
Hearing Lin Guo talk about what happened in the morning, the public student who was playing with the little fox suddenly became quiet.
After taking medicine this morning and turning into a cat, a series of things happened that caught him off guard - for example, he saved a certain little witch who had a conflict with a group of cats, for example, he accidentally became the new leader of a group of cats, and for example, He meets a little mouse who can talk and wear clothes.
After returning from the woods, the young wizards of the Exoneration Hunting Team held a short but lively discussion, carefully analyzing the identity of the little mouse-including a wizard who used transformation, a test subject of a certain research institute, or the Silent Forest. Mutated spiritual beasts in the depths.
Among them, Dr. Xiao Da's guess is relatively more convincing, or in other words, the conclusions drawn from Xiao Xiao's doubts are relatively more reliable.
"According to what the little mouse said, they have an ancestor... Didn't you ask them about the identity of their ancestor?" After listening to the descriptions of Fatty and others, Dr. Xiao Da raised his eyebrows and raised his doubts.
This question left everyone speechless.
At that time, everyone's attention was on the little talking mouse, and they did ignore some of the words it mentioned.
"What else could the ancestor of the rat be?" As the captain of the Exoneration Hunting Team and the person with the highest 'status' among the people present at the time, Zheng Qing had to laugh twice before taking over the conversation.
"It may be a rat that has lived for a long time and has become a spirit; it may also be a great wizard who lives in seclusion in the depths of the Silent Forest and is trying to break through by creating a swarm of rats; of course, it is not ruled out that the monsters are causing trouble."
"After all, there must be a monster when things go wrong... Talking animals have always been a rare thing."
When the doctor said this, the other wizards in the dormitory all looked at the young publicly funded student. After Zheng Qing was stunned for a few seconds, he became furious: "What a rare thing! Are animals a thing?...Besides, I am not an animal either!"
"Wrong choice of words." Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and added expressionlessly.
But he didn't know whether he was talking about the inappropriate choice of words in his previous words, or the inappropriate use of words in Zheng Qing's angry words just now.
