Hunting High School
Chapter 133: Gathering Firewood
Zheng Qing didn't care much about Xiao Xiao's sad feelings about the spring and autumn.
Compared with listening to other people's nagging, Zheng Qing paid more attention to the small fire in front of him. Looking at the orange flames emerging from the fire in front of him, the young Gongfei let out a sigh of relief, waved his hands contentedly, and replied:
"As the saying goes, 'The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold'. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."
Zheng Qing, who had just started the fire, was full of confidence at the moment, pointing Jiangshan and berating Fang Qiu:
"The ancients even knew that when the sky is about to send a great mission to the people, they must first suffer from their will, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their skin, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. What's more about our generation?!"
Dr. Xiao Da squinted, looking at the energetic Zheng Qing.
"Did you take the wrong medicine?" He was very suspicious of Zheng Qing's current state.
This interrogation hurt the public-funded students very much.
"There's not much firewood left, go and collect firewood...don't keep gossiping here." Zheng Qing looked at the doctor angrily: "It's all here, can you be more active and work!"
He said this to Xiao Xiao, and he also said it to himself.
In the original plan, Zheng Qing planned to escape today's spring outing.
He has a lot of things to worry about recently, the Faceless Monster has not been caught yet; the next semester's homework is becoming more and more heavy; the contradictions between the clubs in the school are becoming more and more serious, as the forgiveness knights and the forgiveness hunting team are in charge. Zheng Qing, who is human, has to spend more time on balancing club work; in addition, the work in Professor Montelia's laboratory is a headache, and the follow-up debugging work of Sister Colmar's magic circle will also interrupt from time to time he.
The most tiring thing is the weird attitude of the gypsy witch during this time, good and bad, sometimes the two of them were sitting together with a smile on the day before eating, chatting and doing homework, and when they met again the next day, she became cold , The feeling of keeping strangers away.
While Zheng Qing was worried, he didn't have much to do.
He had euphemistically mentioned this to Elena during a certain date, but the gypsy witch lightly stated that these were normal states during traditional magic practice, and there was no need to pay too much attention to them. In desperation, Zheng Qing could only pay more attention to the witch, just in case.

Originally, Zheng Qing planned to escape this outing, and he even made a report with Professor Montelia, and the professor also agreed to issue him a "Because of busy work, Zheng Qing is called to assist the laboratory work, etc." sliver. Of course, the work in the laboratory during the Arcana Festival is just sorting out the data, and there is absolutely no work related to magic.
But after hearing that Elena would participate in this outing, he did not become a deserter in the end, and chose to walk out of the library with everyone, and went to the wild under the spring sun.
According to the convention, witches are responsible for collecting food such as wild vegetables, wild fruits, mushrooms, and clear water, while wizards are responsible for lighting fires, burying stoves, building sheds and hunting.
Of course, the targets of these young wizards hunting today are not those dangerous magical creatures, but some wild animals such as small rabbits, large gophers, and wild birds. The tools they used for hunting were no longer spellbooks and rune guns, but ropes, sticks, and shovels.
The ropes are used to set the traps, and the shovels are used to dig the traps.
This novel way of hunting has unexpectedly won the favor of many wizards. Most of the boys, including Xin Fatty and Zhang Jixin, chose to go hunting. So Downton finally arranged for Zheng Qing, Xiao Xiao and others, who were relatively thin and not very interested, to be responsible for burying the stove and lighting the fire.
In this regard, Zheng Qing has nothing to do.
He came to this outing mainly to spend more time with Elena. As long as the two are not separated too far, Zheng Qing can handle all the work of burying stoves and lighting fires.
"Are you sure you want me to pick up firewood?" Xiao Xiao hugged the notebook, glanced at Zheng Qing, and coughed softly: "I just saw Yi Lianna went to the Returning Soul Poplar Forest to pick up mushrooms..."
"Come, come, the fire is ready, come and see the fire." Zheng Qing jumped up when he heard this, raised his hand and stuffed the poking stick into Xiao Xiao's hand, and ate it in one bite What I said before: "I'm going to collect firewood, you stay here and don't move around... You have little experience, and the firewood you pick up won't burn."
Xiao Xiao sneered twice, without any excuse.
There was no embarrassment on Zheng Qing's face, but he naturally rubbed the black ash on the corner of Xiao Xiao's robe, completely ignoring the blue veins on Xiao Xiao's forehead.
Chasing after the disappearing figure of the witch, Zheng Qing sprinted into the poplar grove of returning souls.
But to his disappointment, Yi Lianna's red robe had disappeared into the depths of the woods with overgrown trees and shrubs everywhere. As far as the eyes can see, there are only returning soul poplars of different heights and thicknesses, as well as the rustling wind in the ears.
The young wizard sighed deeply, and turned his attention to his own task.
Picking up firewood, as the name suggests, is to pick up branches and logs on the ground that can be used for fire.
Soon, Zheng Qing discovered that this was not an easy task. The twigs and branches that fell on the ground in the forest were probably taken away by the nesting animals. There was a layer of dead leaves on the ground, but everyone You know, this kind of leaves are not burnt, and there is a thick humus layer under the shallow dead leaves, not to mention its moisture and not easy to burn, and the poisonous insects hidden in the humus layer alone make young wizards shy away.
Zheng Qing's only option was to pull some dead branches from the trees in the forest.
This is a very troublesome job.
The thin branches were not burnt, but he couldn't pull the thick ones; he couldn't reach the tall ones. He tried to pull two from the low trees, but found that the bark was still green. Undoubtedly, if this green bark branch was thrown into the fire, it would only burn a cloud of green smoke. Maybe Zheng Qing would be beaten violently by the choking witches and wizards.
Thinking of this, the public fee student couldn't help but shudder, shook his head, and expelled those terrible pictures from his mind.
In front of him was a thin and thin tree, which seemed to be just the right size for a fire. The only problem is that its bark is still a little bit green, and the roots are a bit strong in gripping the ground. It is not easy to pull it out and take it away.
Then he looked around.
It was quiet in the woods, and there was no one.
The wizard's hand silently reached into the gray cloth bag at his waist, and pulled out the own spell book, intending to cast a few spells of drying and cutting on the small tree in front of him.
Although it is the Devil's Day, as long as no one sees it, it shouldn't matter, Zheng Qing thought to himself.
"Yo yo, this can't work!"
An abrupt and unfamiliar voice sounded from the top of Zheng Qing's head, startling him, he subconsciously stuffed the drawn out book back, and held the Colt silver python in his hand instead.
