Hunting High School

Chapter 14 Publicly Funded Students Can't Afford Pets

Zheng Qing stood in front of Sanyou Bookstore with a dazed expression.

Beginning to practice calligraphy with her husband at the age of eight, Zheng Qing spent her childhood, adolescence, and youth in Sanyou Bookstore. Ten years can make people forget a lot of things, but also make people remember a lot of things.

For example, the name of the bookstore, the layout of the bookstore, and the taste of the bookstore.

The Sanyou bookstore in front of me is exactly the same as the shop opened by my husband from the name to the layout, only the taste is slightly different.

Because this bookstore is closed, it has a more deserted atmosphere.

The door and courtyard of the study house were closed tightly, and a thick layer of dust fell under the eaves and on the window edges. It seemed that no one had come here for a long time.

Zheng Qing leaned forward and looked into the study through the dim glass, it was pitch black.

There are faintly one or two green light spots.

He wasn't sure if he was dazzled.

"The textbooks should be bought at Sanwei Bookstore." Thomas shouted not far away: "Here!"

Zheng Qing patted the dust off his hands, and left the window sill sullenly.

In the house, a yellow raccoon blinked and sneezed, blowing dust all over the floor.

Across the stationery store, the situation of the two bookstores is completely opposite.

There are many customers in Sanwei Bookstore, and most of them are young people who come and go.

According to Thomas, this store, like Yun Xiangyi, is a cooperative merchant of First University. Many of the school's procurement requirements are based on their standards.

"First University, a compulsory textbook for freshmen. Publicly funded students." Thomas said concisely to the clerk behind the counter.

"Wait a moment." The clerk showed a professional standard smile, wrote a few words with a pen, crumpled the paper, and threw it out.

The ball of paper floated into the air, turned into a flying crane, and flew down the aisle to the back of the store.

"Why is the bookstore next to it closed?" Zheng Qing looked at the paper crane enviously, and asked casually, "These two bookstores have so similar names, do they have the same boss?"

His intuition told him that the closed Sanyou Bookstore next to him was the Sanyou Bookstore opened by the husband.

But why my husband left here and lived in seclusion in his ordinary community is very debatable.

Conspiracy, love-hate, revenge and many other plots in countless martial arts stories are tumbling and circling in Zheng Qing's mind.

He could only be cautious and insinuating, lest he would cause trouble to his husband.

The stiff smile of the Sanwei Bookstore clerk did not change at all. He stared straight ahead and did not respond to Zheng Qing's question at all.

[In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, Yeguo Reading, yeguoyuedu install the latest version. 】

Thomas glanced at him, and replied slowly: "It's nothing more than the boss's business. There are so many closed stores in the mall. If you have time to care about this, why don't you care about what is still on the list. I have a few thousand more to go tonight. Lilu, fill out a report."

Zheng Qing felt that his eyes had a lot of meaning, and quickly put out the idea of ​​continuing to ask.

"Please put away your things." The paper crane flew back to the counter with a cardboard box. The clerk smiled mechanically, opened the wooden box, and pushed it in front of Thomas.

"Hmm." Thomas glanced at it, and pulled Zheng Qing to the box: "Check the list."

Zheng Qing took out the list full of books and counted them one by one.

"Yao Xiaomi's standard spells, Emma's astronomy, Zhang-Sima's basic talisman, Li Qihuang's potion, Yi Jiazi's divination, big history, Carl's magic philosophy... What is this?" Counting to the end, Zheng Qing He held up a book with a very simple binding and asked: "This book is not in the book list, is it a mistake?"

"This is the admission guide given to you by the school. Every year, new students get lost in the school, or accidentally hurt the kappa in Linzhong Lake. So the old students of the student union compiled this book to let you avoid walking in the school A little detour." Thomas sighed: "Although the binding of this book is poor, the contents inside are worth a look."

Zheng Qing nodded, and stuffed this "Entering the First University" into the cardboard box.

"Give the book list to the clerk," Thomas ordered.

Zheng Qing handed the blue book list to the shop assistant with a stiff face.

The clerk held the piece of paper in front of his eyes, opened his eyes wide, his eyeballs bulged out, and shot out two golden rays of light, and scanned the book list several times.

When the book list returned to her hand, Zheng Qing found that the strings of books on it had disappeared. Those names that disappeared are staying safely in the boxes next to him.

"You don't have space equipment?" Thomas couldn't help asking curiously as Zheng Qing was about to pick up the box.

"Ah, you said that, I have it." Zheng Qing couldn't help but look around, his face flushed slightly: "Mister didn't let me use this outside casually."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand and took out the palm-sized gray cloth bag embroidered with golden runes, and shook the mouth of the bag facing the stacked boxes.

Several boxes suddenly turned into a stream of light and got into the bag.

"Very beautiful pocket." The shop assistant with a stiff face suddenly praised beside him, startling Zheng Qing.

He always thought that these shop assistants could only perform mechanical problems programmed.

Before leaving the bookstore, Zheng Qing looked back at the Sanyou Bookstore next to him.

The deserted courtyard looks so unique in the bustling Sijifang.

He decided to find his husband as soon as possible after returning home to ask him clearly.

Thomas frowned and walked slowly in front, as if thinking about something.

The two fell into a strange quiet atmosphere for a while.

It wasn't until they passed several pet shops that the noise of the small animals in the cages outside the shops broke the silence between the two of them again.

A cestrel stood on the eaves, majestic and majestic, looking down at all living beings haughtily.

In the mud nest under the eaves, a few swallows poked their heads and looked around; a few dozing black bats hung on the mortise and tenon frame beside it.

On the wall, two lizards poked out their slender claws and walked around slowly, sticking out their bright red tongues from time to time, threatening the buzzing flies.

In the open space in front of the store, three milk cats were beating up a fat big mouse, and a rabbit next to it held up its own radish and looked at it with relish.

"These little things are so interesting!" Zheng Qing grinned at the poor big mouse and muttered.

"Yes!" Thomas recovered, with a satisfied smile on his face: "The biggest difference between us wizards and Bai Ding is our awe and love for nature, as well as our good friendship with these natural partners. As a wizard , you may not like spells, but you will not dislike these little animals."

"Then can I buy one?" Zheng Qing was shocked when he heard this, and quickly raised his head, with a hint of longing in his eyes.

"No." Thomas shook his head bluntly, "You are a public student of the school, and the scholarship is only enough for you to prepare school supplies. Even your life expenses have to be figured out by yourself, let alone pets."
