Hunting High School
Chapter 2 The Unusual Noise In The Bookstore
Twenty-three, sticky melon; twenty-four, sweep the house.
The day after Zheng Qing returned home, January 19, coincided with the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Early in the morning, after morning class, he was urged by his parents to start cleaning. Originally, according to Zheng Qing's idea, when encountering this kind of trouble, you only need to read the Dharma book and use two small magic to solve it.
But the facts tell him that at any time, one should prepare for the worst.
Because when Zheng Qing is cleaning, there is always an "adult" watching him. Sometimes it is his grandfather, sometimes it is Zheng's father, and sometimes it is Zheng's mother. In short, they always seem to find a reason Stay by Zheng Qing's side, such as helping him wash the rag, such as helping him with the stool, or simply standing aside and chatting endlessly while Zheng Qing is working.
This keeps our wizard from being able to use magic to be lazy.
No, it's not like magic isn't used at all.
During the morning's labor, Zheng Qing consumed five meditation talismans and two energy-replenishing talismans, ensuring that he could complete his own tasks efficiently and reasonably under the nagging and supervision of several parents.
It's not easy.
‘Why should I fill out a bunch of applications, waste my free time off, and then go home and feel guilty? ’ When the young wizard knelt on the ground to wipe the skirting boards, he imagined the leisurely life of his companions in the school, and became more and more melancholy.
For wizards, the twelfth lunar month is also a hunting moon. This hunting moon is different from the hunting moon when the First University held the "Campus Cup" in October, but a long-standing tradition, saying that "the field hunts animals to sacrifice to ancestors."
In other words, this twelfth lunar month, wizards are more active in offering sacrifices, fasting and offering sacrifices.
Of course, in addition to offering sacrifices, many wizarding organizations, including the Wizarding Union, will hold small-scale hunting competitions or pre-season large-scale hunting competitions during this period, as a gift for sacrifices, and it is also a pastime after a busy year.
Forgiveness Hunt is no exception.
What Zheng Qing knew was that during the two weeks when he was not at school, the Forgiveness Hunt had three small duels with other hunting teams, including Matthew's Hunting Team and Andrew's Ouroboros Hunting Team. Originally, he felt that these games were a great disrespect and waste of vacation time, but compared with him doing housework at home, staying at school and playing hunting games seemed not so bad.
The joy of going home was quickly exhausted by the devastation of housework the next morning.
After lunch, Zheng Qing finally found a reason to escape from this small cage.
He is going to Sanyou Bookstore to help Mr. Wu clean the bookstore.
"You have to be back before 6:30," Zheng's mother told her again and again before leaving the house, "otherwise I'll make you another dinner... Also, your third uncle's cousin will ask you to learn from you for the college entrance examination this year. Come back early to help him tutor his homework or something."
Zheng Qing, who received the admission letter from a foreign university, has become a "child of other people" in the words of his relatives. During the whole morning of labor, he heard his parents mention more than once that the children of relatives wanted him to help them with their homework.
It made him a little bit didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Help with homework? I haven't read Yushu for half a year, how can I help them... If they want to learn how to hunt, or identify herbs, or construct magic spells, I can help a little.
While thinking helplessly, the young wizard wondered whether he should catch a little naughty ghost from the Huizi collection to scare his cousin; at the same time, he vaguely agreed to his mother's exhortation, and fled in despair.
Sanyou Bookstore is located at the bottom of the street facing Yunhua Community.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, most of the shops on the street have closed their doors. Let’s talk about a few that are still open, and most of them are businesses that are taboo in the first month, such as barber shops.
When Zheng Qing was walking towards the bookstore with a broom and mop, he passed by a barber shop. The proprietress of the shop happened to go out to throw out the trash. After seeing Zheng Qing, her face showed a bit of joy:
"Xiaoqing is back? When did you come back? How many days will you stay at home?"
"The plane last night." Zheng Qing smiled a little shyly: "It is estimated that I will leave on the seventh and eighth day...the school has requirements."
"Tsk, schools abroad are different." The proprietress muttered a few words, then looked at what Zheng Qing was carrying, and said with a smile, "Are you going to help Mr. Wu clean the shop? What a good boy..."
Zheng Qing would never face such a compliment.
Fortunately, the proprietress of the barber shop didn't expect Zheng Qing to give any interesting answers. She mentioned that Mr. Wu's shop was just an introduction.
"Speaking of which, did Mr. Wu find a new guy in the shop?" The proprietress of the barber shop glanced back in the direction of Sanyou Bookstore, and muttered, "I passed by the bookstore yesterday and seemed to hear someone talking inside. The sound of the TV, but the door of the bookstore is always closed. You also know that the window of the bookstore is frosted glass, and you can’t see anything through the window..."
Listening to the analysis of the barber shop proprietress, Zheng Qing couldn't help raising her eyebrows.
From the very beginning of Sanyou Bookstore, apart from Mr. Wu, only myself worked as a part-time buddy. I have never heard from my husband that I hired a new clerk, nor from my grandfather.
And, TV? Mr. Wu has never used this kind of modern electronic product.
As a wizard, Zheng Qing's first reaction was that the shop was haunted. Unguarded shops, enclosed spaces, and abnormal noises. Any wizard's first reaction must be related to ghosts and ghosts.
Of course, he definitely couldn't tell the barbershop proprietress about this kind of speculation.
"Oh, Mr. Wu called me yesterday and told me about it," Zheng Qing said nonsense without blushing: "He said he seemed to forget to turn off the TV when he left, and asked me to turn it off when I came to clean up today." Turn off the TV."
The lady proprietress of the barber shop breathed a sigh of relief.
"I just said, I must have forgotten to turn off the TV, and they said something weird, haha." As if realizing that Own's words were not appropriate, the proprietress said haha after speaking halfway, and waved Zheng Qing to go quickly Busy about owning things: "Mr. Wu is too. He has been studying all day long and has no experience in life... No one in the store must turn off the water and electricity! Especially since he is still a bookstore, in case the TV burns out Broken, how dangerous!"
Zheng Qing nodded again and again, agreeing, and at the same time, the pace under her feet accelerated a little unconsciously.
He dared to bet that if he showed a little interest in chatting, he probably wouldn't be able to reach the bookstore two hundred meters away in another hour.
After a short run, the narrow front of Sanyou Bookstore appeared in Zheng Qing's line of sight.
As in the past, the door was closed tightly, and the black notice board hung on the window sill, on which the words "the owner is out of business, the store is closed" were bright and eye-catching in large white characters.
