Hunting High School

Early mornings in northern summer are often shrouded in thin mist.

Zheng Qing pressed the phone in the arm bag and changed to a more relaxing music.

It was still early, but there were not many running figures. Morning exercisers in sportswear can be seen everywhere on this runway built along the river.

The runway is located in Fenhe Park. This park is one of the city appearance projects of the municipal government in recent years, and it has been built with great care. One side of the plastic pavement is the calm Fen River, and the other side is the lush willow forest. They fill the air of the land with the breath of nature. These scarce elements in the city have formed a huge temptation for people who do morning exercises in the city.

A black figure flashed in front of Zheng Qing's eyes and stopped on a stone platform not far away.

This black cat!

Zheng Qing sniffed, tightened his arm bag, and glanced at it.

This black cat has four paws on the snow, and its coat color is very conspicuous. Although the breed is just an ordinary garden cat, it is not as sensitive and suspicious as ordinary domestic cats, but rather bold. Since entering the runway, he has been swaying not far from Zheng Qing.

No delay, no hurry, if you touch it, you will leave it.

It didn't disappear in Zheng Qing's sight in a flash, but it still fell a distance of 100 meters from Zheng Qing.

This made Zheng Qing, who was behind it, a little curious.

His running speed was not slow, and the morning runners around him also changed a lot, and there was no suspected black cat owner.

Maybe the cat just thought it was fun.

After turning the curve ahead, the black cat suddenly disappeared from sight. Zheng Qing slowed down and looked around, and it was easy to see the black cat in the dense forest.

It left the main road and ran into a quiet path next to it.

Compared with the main runway, this branch road is only three to five meters wide, and the road surface is not made of plastic, but an ordinary stone road. The black cat ran for dozens of meters in the side road, then stopped, and turned back to stare at Zheng Qing with those green cat eyes.

Zheng Qing hesitated for a few seconds at the fork in the road, then followed the black cat and turned into this fork.

There is actually not much difference between running with a cat and running with a person. Anyway, you run by yourself. Zheng Qing thought silently, and, this road looks so quiet, it must be more comfortable to run than outside.

The black cat strolled briskly in front of it. The road under its feet changed from a stone road to an asphalt road, and then from an asphalt road to a hardened dirt road. In the end, there was no dirt road at all, only the wild road paved with dead branches and fallen leaves.

Zheng Qing decided to turn back when there was no way out.

He was running so contentedly now that he even ignored the black cat not far in front of him.

He breathed greedily through his nose, and his nostrils were filled with the smell of decayed grass and leaves in the woods, mixed with rosin and morning mist, cleaning up the waste gas deposited in his chest in the city, and also taking away the vague uneasiness in his heart.

The sky is getting brighter, the sun has not yet risen, and the fog in the forest is getting heavier and heavier.

Turning around a thick old tree, Zheng Qing's eyes lit up, and a large green bamboo forest appeared in front of him. The greens are so dazzling that even the morning mist cannot obscure their brilliance.

Bamboo leaves rustled and bamboo branches collided. The feeling of jogging in the bamboo forest is intoxicating.

Zheng Qing had no sense of direction at all, so he could only run slowly with the black cat strolling in front of him.

The bamboo forest in the distance gradually thinned out, and the light from outside slowly came in.

Zheng Qing felt a little bit reluctant to go out, so he decided to come here for a morning run tomorrow.

After running out of the bamboo forest, Zheng Qing couldn't help squinting his eyes due to the instant broad vision and bright light.

Opening his eyes, swallowing, he couldn't help squinting again.

There is an open lawn in front of me, and a few hundred meters away, a six-story ocher-yellow building is squatting in the lawn. The building is surrounded by flower beds, rockery and fountains. Surrounding the lawn are these tall and silent bamboo forests.

Is there such a building beside the Fen River? Zheng Qing couldn't help touching the arm bag.

As if feeling Zheng Qing's hesitation, the black cat not far in front let out an 'ow'.

That's not how the cat called, the corners of his mouth twitched.

The black cat didn't care about his thoughts at all, wagging its tail, turned and ran towards the ocher-yellow building.

Zheng Qing looked behind him, and the bamboo forest that was originally refreshing and comfortable suddenly had some deep breath. The distant feeling made him flinch.

Without this cat leading the way, I would definitely get lost inside.

Sighing, Zheng Qing took out a small gray cloth bag from his arm bag and held it quietly in his hand.

The black cat leading the way met other small animals from time to time, such as squirrels, rabbits, foxes, and even a milky white pig. Every time one came across, the black cat would stop and say hello to them. These small animals are also strangely tight, not only are they not afraid of Zheng Qing, but they will circle around him twice curiously, as if they are looking at something.

A figure could be seen vaguely at the main entrance of the building.

The black cat stopped by the flower pond at the entrance of the building, flicked its tail, and beckoned Zheng Qing to go in.

"Aren't you going in?" Zheng Qing glanced at it.

The black cat snorted, jumped up, nimbly got into the lush flower bed, and disappeared.

The building looks compact from the outside. But after entering, Zheng Qing found that the layout inside was very open.

Facing the gate is a hall with a radius of 100 meters. There are two deep corridors on the left and right sides of the hall. There are no lights in the corridors, and it is dark and silent. There are eight pillars standing at the four corners of the hall, and there is a closed black door between every two pillars.

Some people in black robes shuttled back and forth in the hall, most of them looked serious and hurried on their feet, as if they didn't notice a stranger entering the gate at all.

Zheng Qing looked around for a moment, picked out a girl with a pretty face and a ponytail, walked a few steps closer, stopped her, and asked blushingly, "Hello, I don't know where..." "New here?" The girl looked He looked a little anxious, and interrupted him quickly.

Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly.

"Take an exam, or a Talent test, or a faith appraisal, or a simulated battle?"

Zheng Qing looked blank: "Exam?"

He just caught the word.

"The exam is here." The girl grabbed Zheng Qing's arm, went to the black door between the two pillars in the northeast corner, opened the door, and pushed Zheng Qing in.

The girl's strength was surprisingly great, before Zheng Qing realized what was going on, she was already standing inside the black gate.

This is a large lecture hall with nearly a hundred rows at the front and back. The light from the eight tall glass windows around it makes the classroom look extraordinarily bright. At this moment, there are hundreds of people sitting in the dark in the classroom, lowering their heads and doing the test papers. The rustling sound of writing makes the classroom extraordinarily quiet.

Zheng Qing turned his head, and the door behind him had been quietly closed at some point.

He tugged lightly, but the door didn't open.

"You're late!" A serious voice came from a podium far away. From this distance, Zheng Qing could only see that it was a tall figure, also wearing the black standard robes of the people outside.

Several figures answering the questions around quietly cast a glance, which made Zheng Qing swallow back what he was about to say.

Noise is the most taboo during the exam.

"The test paper is in front of you, and you are about fifteen minutes behind the others. Don't be dazed, do the questions quickly!"

Zheng Qing saw that there was indeed an empty seat not far in front of him, and a set of test papers was placed on it, complete with paper and pen.

I definitely didn't sign up for this test. Zheng Qing is very clear in his heart.

Maybe someone is really late? I'll give up my seat when he comes.

He sat down silently, and gently picked up the paper, he was very curious about what kind of test it was.

The huge boldface on the front of the test paper is extremely clear:

2008 Higher Wizarding School Admissions Global Unified Examination (Nine Papers)

Zheng Qing shook his head and blinked his eyes, he felt that he was hallucinating.

He tried to open the gray cloth bag in his hand, but found that the cloth bag that could be easily opened on weekdays was tightly tied, and he couldn't untie it no matter what.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A slender hand curled up its index finger and lightly tapped the table in front of Zheng Qing.

Zheng Qing raised his head, only seeing a pair of dark red eyes.

Is a proctor.

"Only use the pen and paper issued by the examination room to answer the questions, and you can ask for other special needs."

Zheng Qing smiled dryly, stuffed the limp gray cloth bag into his trouser pocket, and opened the first page of the test paper.

Note: This test paper is divided into two parts, the first volume and the second volume, with a total of 20 pages. The first volume is compulsory questions, and the second volume is optional questions. The full score is 500 points and the test time is 300 minutes. Please use the unified 0.57 mm signature pen to answer the questions; it is strictly forbidden to bring brushes, feather pens and other pens with other specifications. Before answering the question, please pay attention to sign your real name on the home page. After answering the questions, the test papers will be collected by the invigilator assistant.

Please abide by the invigilator's discipline in the examination room.

Cheating is strictly prohibited!

Turning to the second page of the test paper, Zheng Qing scratched his hair.

The content on the paper was surprisingly ordinary, and Zheng Qing found that many of them were from the copybooks he practiced daily.

Maybe I can go out after finishing the paper. He looked up at the figures all around who were immersed in answering the questions, sighed, and picked up the signature pen next to the test paper.

After an unknown amount of time, Zheng Qing, who finished answering the paper, squinted at the desk, waiting for the invigilator to collect the paper.

When I go out in a while, I must find the black cat and poke the little chrysanthemum a hundred times, he thought in a daze.

"Get up! Get up! It's time for you to go home!" Zheng Qing was awakened by a violent shaking.

"Hand in the test paper!" He stretched out his hand and fumbled forward with bewildered eyes, exploring the empty space.

A burst of laughter rang in his ears.

He opened his eyes and turned his head to look around. The empty and quiet classroom before going to bed completely disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was a small and noisy KTV room.

"The college entrance examination is over! You are free! There is no exam!" A dark-faced Fatty shouted in his ear, making his ears buzz.

Zheng Qing looked around blankly, his mind still in a half-broken state, he vaguely saw a dozen figures embracing each other, singing loudly.

"Friends walk together for life, those days are no more..."

It seemed to be an explosion before the end, the atmosphere in the private room reached its peak in an instant, and a large glass of beer was also stuffed into Zheng Qing's hands.

After the beer poured down his stomach, the weird exam not long ago was left behind, and Zheng Qing's memory reconnected to a normal life: he was reunited with his classmates after the college entrance examination.

As for running and exams?

It's just a dream.
