Hunting High School

After the paper crane rushed out of the office, it flapped its wings, fluttering and swaying, facing the cold wind all the way retrograde.

On the way, it encountered several two-tailed squirrels who defied the severe cold and slipped out of tree holes to play. Those mischievous rodents relied on their ability to glide in the air with their tails, and once tried to catch this paper crane.

It's just that, after all, it was a paper crane rubbed out by the head of Jiuyou College himself, so it just flapped its wings a few more times, and it easily escaped the squirrel's claws.

Flying out of the office building, crossing the small square, and passing through the long forest path, the paper crane did not choose to fly directly over Linzhong Lake—although a thin layer of ice has formed on the surface of the lake now, this does not degrade the great lake at all. The dangerous atmosphere emanated from the sky, so it circled in a large circle, followed the direction of the promenade around the lake, and flew out of the school.

Its target is a big house in the west area of ​​Beta Town.

Unlike the northern part of Beta Town, which is full of lowly jugglers, or the southern part of Beta Town, which is full of poor and low-level wizards, the west part of Beta Town has always been considered by the wizarding community to be an upper-class community—including O’Brien, Potter, Karen Many wizarding families, such as the Zhongshan Jiang family, the Shuzhong Tang family, and the Metropolitan Blair family, all own their properties in this community.

Qingqiu Su Clan is no exception.

Courtyard No. 54, located in the west area of ​​Beta Town, is a large house with a beautiful garden. A house of this scale is very rare in the town of Beta where every inch of land is expensive.

Compared with the neighbors around the yard, Yard No. 54 looks quite approachable—because there are no tall blue-gray walls around this yard, and there are no scary, dark-colored gargoyles staring at them all the time. Looking at the passers-by, there is no wooden sign saying 'private territory' erected ten meters away from the gate.

The pattern of the whole yard is quite open.

The log fence with the thickness of the forearm is only about one meter high, and the gap between the logs is enough for an adult to put a fist in.

Outside the fence, there is a shallow creek, the water is ankle-deep, crystal clear, the bottom of the water is full of colorful pebbles, and from time to time, small golden-red fish can be seen waving their heads and swaying through the crevices of the stones But - even in midwinter, this creek did not have the slightest tendency to freeze, but gurgled as always.

On the outside of the creek, there are a few large gray-white stones, leaning against the stream safely, and sitting on the outermost side of the garden. It's just that these stones don't have a single bit of rune engraved on them, they are more like 'chairs' full of natural appeal, for pedestrians who are tired from walking to rest their feet.

Inside the fence is a splendid garden—roses hanging on the fence, with soft branches, round flowers, overlapping petals, lavender, pink, and white, all kinds of colors are stacked in emerald green, lively In addition, there are beautiful flowers such as roses, rhododendrons, chrysanthemums, and green onions, as well as inconspicuous little characters such as dogtail grass, and there are also a few emerald green plants leaning on the side of the rockery. bamboo.

There are also those small trees surrounding the flower garden - there are not many tacky magnolias and ginkgoes planted by wizards in this garden, or elderberry and locust trees full of weird styles - but small white poplars arranged neatly with paulownia. Because the trees are not very old, the skins of these small trees look very clean, white and tender, and they look particularly brilliant against the colorful flowers in the flowerbed.

In short, if described in a poem, this garden can probably be called "Shaoyin's home in Cangshihongquan, morning glory spreads around the fence".

Surrounded by this garden is an attic with red tiles and white walls and flying swallow ridges.

At ten o'clock in the morning, when the sun is the most active in the day, Su Man, the head maid of the mansion, was directing a few blue elves to capture the flower sperm and grass sperm hidden in the flowers. One of the must-do tasks in the morning.

If it's summer, she doesn't need to clean up these little things every day. But in winter, in the entire Beta Town, perhaps only this mansion maintains such a colorful world, which naturally attracts a large number of 'uninvited guests' from all directions.

Especially this year, the return of silence came earlier than in previous years. Many elves in the forest were caught by hungry beasts, and those who escaped did not have the ability to dig another small hole, build a warm nest, and store Enough food for winter. Therefore, this garden that is still blooming has become the only chance for these elves to survive.

Because now the guards of the Qingqiu mansion are all young girls, even a few elderly mothers, who don't like the bewitching scenery outside, and stay indoors more often, leaning on the pillows nap. And the young girls are most caring—although due to their responsibilities, they cannot raise these elves openly, but this does not prevent them from using their time flexibly, allowing these little guys to pick some elves in the garden every morning and evening. Nectar, fruit and the like to satisfy hunger.

Of course, this time must be before the mansion opens and after it is locked every day—for example, at noon, if there are guests visiting, passing by the flower garden, and accidentally seeing a group of elves wearing tattered grass leaves screaming with bare buttocks, from them It's too outrageous to pass through in front of you.

Su Man's current job is to clean up the garden before the owner of the mansion leaves.

"It's past ten o'clock now! The sun is almost at the zenith of the sky! We can't explain why you stay here!" The head maid squatted in front of a bush of rhododendrons, looking at the couple who were licking the nectar from the petals. Only the sperm, persuasively persuaded: "How about coming back later? After the lock is locked at night, I will prepare an extra bowl of Baihua nectar for you...without adding water!"

The few flower sperm didn't seem to hear her words, and they still buried their heads in the center of the flower persistently.

Seeing the time getting later and later, Su Man finally couldn't hold it back anymore, she shook her fingers, commanded a few Smurfs, lifted the necks of those flower sperm, and threw them out of the fence—whether it was flower sperm or grass sperm , although they don't like winter, it doesn't mean they are afraid of severe cold. On the contrary, there are many flower sperm that like to dance in the snow when the winter plums are in bloom. It's just that their bodies consume a lot of energy in winter, and they can get very little food, so wizards rarely see them in the cold winter.

After cleaning up the 'pests' in the garden, Su Man stood up, stretched her waist, faced the bright sun, yawned with satisfaction, and began to consider whether to wake the lady up now.

At this moment, she saw a paper crane swaying through the big willow tree at the gate of the courtyard, and bumped into the door plate with a snap. (to be continued)
