Hunting High School

Time flies by in a busy state.

Homework, class, homework, class, in the blink of an eye, it's Saturday.

The bohemian dress that Zheng Qing bought from Luxifang at a high price was still stuffed in the packaging bag and was not sent out; there were still ten sheets of rune that Professor Emma asked to copy, which was not completed; the only thing worth boasting about might be Only the homework of Lao Yao's spell class, with Jiang Yu's assistance, he completed an analysis report of nearly 10,000 words.

According to Xin Fatty, with a little polish and an opening report, these texts can be stuffed into the school magazine as a student paper.

Zheng Qing was noncommittal about the compliment—in fact, he doubted Xin Fatty's motives in hunting around for manuscripts.

Besides, he had other things to worry about.

Today is Saturday, and tonight is the weekly patrol time again.

According to the punishment notice issued by the school working committee, Zheng Qing needs to stay in the patrol team for a school year. Now it has just passed a month, and this is his fifth time to participate in the Linzhong Lake Night Patrol.

Relatively speaking, he is quite familiar with this matter.

He will not wear a catty amulet around his neck like he did on his first patrol; he will not carry hundreds of talismans with him, and he will also tie armor and horse talismans on his legs; Instead of supplementing the newly learned little jinx, he copied the commonly used binding spell several times.

Because he finally understood those words that those old patrol members talked about every day.

This is the first university.

That lake is Linzhong Lake of Jiuyou Academy.

Except for a few lifeless red chain snakes and a group of sneaky sand worms, Zheng Qing has never seen a more dangerous monster than a kappa in the past month.

Murlocs were not considered monsters. Although their intelligence was a little low, they belonged to an intelligent race after all. They would not brave the wrath of wizards to provoke a group of impulsive and reckless little guys.

Compared with those distant dangers, the most disturbing thing about night watch is the adjustment of biological clock.

Zheng Qing needs to go to bed on Saturday afternoon, get up in the middle of the night, eat supper, go on patrol, roll back to the dormitory in the morning and then fall asleep, and can't get up until noon - the most golden period of the whole weekend is wasted bed.

Simply unforgivable!

The young public finance student thought of the homework he hadn't finished, and felt aggrieved from the bottom of his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

The hole dug by oneself has to be filled while kneeling.

After eleven o'clock in the evening, he stepped on the spot and wobbled to the lakeside. He only brought a gray cloth bag, and he didn't even take out the Dharma book from the bag.

Most of the patrol has already arrived.

Zheng Qing easily found Lingo's figure.

The young genius from the Alpha Academy was riding on the back of a tall black goat, still carrying a small schoolbag, and his long patrol stick was placed between the thick horns of the black goat, which was extremely conspicuous.

"Ah! I forgot again!" After greeting Lin Guo, the young public fee student complained repeatedly: "Yesterday I asked Xin Fatty to remind me to take Poseidon with me before patrolling today—that's my little fox—and it turned out I forgot again today."

"It's okay, basically everyone didn't bring any companions." Holding a small comb, Lin Guo patiently combed the goat's fur, and comforted him: "Besides, if you bring animal companions to patrol, you need to report to the school work committee in advance. , It is very troublesome to fill in a lot of materials.”

Zheng Qing smacked his lips, but made no sound.

He suddenly discovered that he had been reduced to being comforted by a twelve-year-old child at some point.

The black goat tilted his head and looked at the young public fee student, his cheeks were slowly moving, and there was a clear hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Zheng Qing would not be able to taunt a goat, so he could only walk to the center of the patrol with his head shaking, to get his own patrol stick.

This is the standard equipment for patrol members. Many protection and expulsion spells are imprinted on it. When using it, you only need to wave it, which is very convenient.

Old man Verne hadn't appeared until everyone's patrol sticks had been distributed.

But the patrol team has skillfully divided into more than a dozen teams according to the previous practice. If there is no accident, the follow-up patrol tasks will be completed in the form of small groups, each small group is responsible for patrolling a section of the lakeshore, and the scope and route are very clear.

Each team has four or five people at most, and only two people at most, divided according to the risk level of the patrol section.

Zheng Qing and Lin Guo were in the same team, because they were the only freshmen in the entire patrol team, so Elder Verne specially arranged a patrol mission along the lake corridor for them.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources, and read aloud with many timbres, yeguoyuedu Android and Apple are all available. 】

You only need to stroll back and forth in the lakeside corridor, you will not encounter long insects in the grass, and you will not "chance encounter" murlocs who come out to hunt wild food. At most, you will be able to see the bald heads of a few kappa, which is a very safe patrol mission.

Others have no objection to this.

When the old man Verne came to the lakeside, the moon was already in the sky.

"Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the year of the Wuzi, the month of Xinyou, and the day of Ding Chou. The sky is bright and the moon is clear, and there are no taboos. Don't doze off when you are patrolling!" Old man Verne leaned on a cane in one hand, and grabbed a suspicious object with the other. Paper bag, blushing.

There was a burst of relaxed laughter from the crowd.

"Do you know the area you are in charge of?" The old man's cane paused heavily on the grass, startling a few bugs that were stacking Arhats.

The old hound next to him flicked his tail calmly, and moved a few steps away from the old man's walking stick.

"I know..." The patrol members responded sparsely.

"Do you know the patrol route?" The old man raised his cane and asked loudly.

"Know!" A neat roar came from the lakeside.

"What are you waiting for?!" The old man waved his cane: "Let's go! My patrol members!"

Zheng Qing followed behind the chaotic team with his face full of black lines, supporting Lingo's black sheep with one hand, dragging his patrol stick with the other, and walked feebly towards that section of the corridor.

The patrol range of the Linzhong Lake Night Patrol Team covers the entire Linzhong Lake, including the promenade around the lake, the lakeside forest and other subsidiary areas.

Zheng Qing and Lin Guo's patrol area is in a promenade around the lake on the west side of the lake. The length is less than 500 meters, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk back and forth.

Many fruit trees such as peaches, plums, apricots, and jujubes were planted on one side of the promenade, which attracted a large number of wild fireflies to come to suck the sap. It was the only patrol area shrouded in lights.

On the other side of the corridor is a sloping grass slope, and the bottom line of the grass slope is Linzhong Lake.

Walking in the promenade, one side is the sparkling lake, and the other side is the fruit forest full of lantern worms, the scenery is pleasant.

However, no matter how interesting the scenery is, after watching it dozens of times, or hundreds of times, it will be as empty as clear soup, and there is no interest at all.

The night is still long.

It will take a long time to see this boring scene.

Zheng Qing had to work hard to find some topics to pass this tiring time.

Thinking of time, he couldn't help but think of Lin Guo's slightly confused concept of time, and then think of an old man he met a long time ago in front of the office building of the school working committee.

A word that the old man said——

'Throwing away time, there is no magic in this world'.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that Mr. Wu seemed to have said something similar, so he couldn't help shaking it out, and tried to discuss it with Lin Guo.

In his opinion, Linguo may have a different view on this point.

But to his surprise, Lingo expressed a thousand percent agreement with that sentence.

"No problem at all... Time is the most powerful force in this world." The little boy carried a patrol stick and followed Zheng Qing step by step, answering earnestly.

"It's too absolute..." Zheng Qing shook his head, very disapproving of such absolute rhetoric: "Everything has two sides. Time may be powerful, but it cannot cover everything..."

"Yes!" Linguo's voice raised slightly: "Time can measure everything!"

"Measure everything?" Although he somewhat agreed with Lin Guo's words, Zheng Qing still sneered at this sentence: "Time is time, can it measure real things like distance and space? It can measure illusory things like wisdom and love." of something? Does it measure truth?"

"Yes!" Lin Guo nodded solemnly: "For example, distance, what you use to measure distance, isn't it the length of time? For example, wisdom, what a smart person understands in three minutes, a fool takes three months to understand Come here. As for the truth, who knows more? Only at the end of endless time and space, maybe there is truth."

Zheng Qing was speechless, always feeling that something was wrong, but at the same time felt very reasonable and could not refute.

What do I care about with this little kid, let alone a child with schizophrenia and time abnormality-he can only comfort himself with Ah Q's spirit in the end.
