Monster Hunting High School

Chapter 4 The bookstore on the other side

Although there was no way to use magic to clean the house, since the area of ​​Sanyou Bookstore was not large, it did not cause much trouble to Zheng Qing.

There is a public faucet outside the store, and the store also has regular garbage bags, feather dusters and other tools. Zheng Qing cleared the dust and swept it. It only took more than half an hour to clean up the inside and outside of the store.

For the remaining blessing characters and Spring Festival couplets, according to family practice, we have to wait until the morning of New Year’s Eve to clean up the old ones and put up the new ones.

Because of the dust and smoky air during cleaning, Huang Huali had already slipped off Mr. Wu's recliner, hugged the small TV, and ran along the aisle behind the store to return to the calligraphy collection - Zheng Qing was very suspicious. Can that TV receive TV signals in Hui Zi Ji?

Besides, all this cleaning was not without its rewards.

While taking a break between cleaning, Zheng Qing looked at the bookshelves and densely packed books around the shop, and suddenly remembered a wish he had made a long time ago - when he was old, he would open a bookstore, bask in the sun and read books. I take a sip of tea from time to time and enjoy the leisurely time. It’s so beautiful just thinking about it.

Right now, he is still far away from his dream retirement life.

But this does not stop him from making some plans in advance for his dream.

"Perhaps, I can take some unsold books from my husband's bookstore and sell them in D\u0026K?" He thought so, and couldn't help but punch his palm. This seemed to be a good idea—— It not only helped my husband’s shop expand sales, but also allowed me to accumulate experience, and also found new products for the hunting team’s shop.

Simply accomplishing multiple things with one stone.

Of course, due to the distance, he was temporarily unable to discuss this idea with his companions. But this did not stop him from wasting five minutes and writing this small plan into the notebook he carried with him.

After everything was packed, Zheng Qing turned his attention to the southeast corner of the bookstore.

There is a small duplex separated by a wooden ladder. Above the ladder is a place for storing sundries and cabinets. There is a black painted wooden door below the ladder. Behind the door is a passage leading to another Sanyou Bookstore on Hui Zi Ji.

The husband asked him to look after the store, so naturally he had to take care of both stores.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qing picked up the bucket, cloth and other tools and walked towards the black door.

"We haven't seen each other for half a year." The young wizard muttered to himself, stretched out his fingers and rubbed the head of the little brass snake on the door.

The little snake was coiled on the turtle's back, motionless, as if it was really a dead thing.

Zheng Qing twitched the corner of his mouth, grabbed the brush hanging on the door, skillfully dipped it in the small pot of sesame oil next to it, and then applied it on the tip of the copper snake's tail. Not long after, a small turtle head poked out from under the turtle's back, stretched its neck, and bit the snake's tail.

"Kakakaka..."

As the turtle's neck stretched longer and longer, causing the mechanism inside the door to rotate, Zheng Qing pulled a small copper-ringed snake, and then the black lacquered wooden door suddenly opened.

"You guys eat slowly, I'll go over first." Zheng Qing turned around and applied a handful of sesame oil on the snake's tail again, then said hello to the copper snake and turtle with a smile, and then walked into the dark room carrying a bucket and other tools. In the aisle.

The turtle and snake in the front room of the knocker shop ignored the young wizard's greetings and kept licking the small piece of sesame oil with relish.

Walking a hundred meters along the corridor, there is another wooden door.

Opening the door, the familiar background sound of Tom and Jerry hit Zheng Qing's ears again.

"Can't you just let me watch an episode of cartoons in peace?" Huang Huali yelled angrily, jumped up from the chair, hugged the mini TV, and moved in the opposite direction to Zheng Qing. I ran back to Sanyou Bookstore in Yunhua Community.

"There is actually a TV signal here," Zheng Qing muttered, shouting at the back of the yellow lily: "Turn down the TV volume... The barber shop owner has already complained! Also, I just cleaned that place. Clean, don’t leave the hair on the floor!”

What answered him was a loud slamming of the door.

"As bad-tempered as ever." The young wizard sniffed and shook his head.

Similar to Yunhua Community, Sanyou Bookstore in Hui Zi Ji is also very cold and quiet, but unlike Yunhua Community, in Hui Zi Ji, Zheng Qing can use magic and talismans without restrictions - this point, As soon as he stepped into this shop, he immediately realized it.

"I hate the dew!"

"Yu Can Sa Sweep!"

"Dirty my window!"

"Thin curtains!"

One after another magical light flickered in this small shop. Feeling the rapid and efficient sweeping effect all around, Zheng Qing was filled with a huge sense of satisfaction from the inside out.

"Well, this is the correct way to open magic..." The wizard's face was filled with a satisfied expression, as if he had eaten a piece of tender grilled steak when he was hungry: "Speaking of which, why are you setting it up there? The area where demons are forbidden... is it because it is surrounded by ordinary people to avoid the observer effect? ​​"

These thoughts flashed through my mind, but there was no pause at all.

It only took about a minute for Zheng Qing to clean the Sanyou Bookstore on Hui Zi Ji, making it spotless. Even the pots of clivia on the windowsill were not left out - they were rubbed until their leaves were shiny, and they were watered and fertilized.

"Sure enough, magic is the primary productive force." He kicked the bucket beside his feet that had never been used, and listened to the clanking sound it made, sighing: "Working is fast, good and easy... No wonder Everybody loves magic.”

Remove the door panel and open the store door.

The ancient, dilapidated Huiziji Street appeared in front of Zheng Qing again.

Perhaps because the Spring Festival is approaching, the streets have a more festive atmosphere.

Red lanterns were connected in a string, dangling in mid-air, and from time to time a paper dragon would pass by them. Occasionally, it would open its big mouth and swallow a lantern, with a few bright sparks leaking from the corner of its mouth;

The colorful golden pheasant spreads its wings and sheds a beautiful chord, surrounded by chirping birds to accompany it;

There are also swarms of light bugs, either blue or green, purple or red, clinging to the vines and shrubs on both sides of the alley, and even to the eaves and clotheslines. Even with the bright sun overhead, there is no way to hide their dazzling light. body shape.

In addition, there are more vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the street.

"Hey, I haven't been here for half a year, but my collection of calligraphy has improved?" Zheng Qing opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene around him. His surprise was beyond words: "When did there also be fireflies here!"

"A month ago," a familiar and contented voice next to him answered the young wizard's doubts: "To be precise, it was twenty-five days ago, that is, at Christmas time... I am glad that my companion did not forget me. , sent me these Christmas gifts from the New World.”

Zheng Qing turned around.

A tall and thin wizard with a lock of long hair on his forehead was looking at him with a smile.
