Zheng Qing stood in front of the door of Sanyou Bookstore, looking confused.
Zheng Qing started practicing calligraphy with his husband at the age of eight. He spent his childhood, youth and youth in Sanyou Bookstore. Ten years can make people forget many things, and it can also make people remember many things.
For example, the name of the bookstore, the layout of the bookstore, and the smell of the bookstore.
From the name to the layout of the Sanyou Bookstore in front of me, it is exactly the same as the store opened by my husband, only the taste is slightly different.
Because this bookstore is closed, it has an air of desolation.
The study room was closed, and a thick layer of dust fell under the eaves and on the windows. Judging from the situation, no one had been here for a long time.
Zheng Qing stepped forward and looked into the study room through the dim glass. It was pitch black.
There are one or two faint green light spots.
He wasn't sure if he was dazzled.
"Textbooks must be bought at Sanwei Bookstore." Thomas shouted "over here" not far away.
Zheng Qing patted the dust on his hands and left the window sill in frustration.
In the room, a yellow tabby blinked, sneezed, and blew dust all over the floor.
Across the stationery store, the two bookstores are in completely opposite situations.
Sanwei Bookstore has many customers, and most of them are young people.
According to Thomas, this store, like Yun Xiangyi, is a cooperative merchant of First University. Many of the school's purchasing requirements are in accordance with their standards.
"First University, a required textbook for freshmen. Publicly funded students." Thomas said to the clerk behind the counter succinctly.
"Wait a moment." The clerk showed a professional smile, wrote a few words, crumpled the paper, and threw it away.
The paper ball floated into the air, turned into a flying crane, and flew gracefully along the aisle to the back of the store.
"Why is the bookstore next to it closed?" Zheng Qing looked at the paper crane with envy and asked casually, "The names of these two bookstores are so similar, do they have the same owner?"
His intuition told him that the closed Sanyou Bookstore next to him was the Sanyou Bookstore opened by his husband.
But why the 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 swirled in Zheng Qing's mind.
He could only be cautious and make insinuations for fear of causing trouble to his husband.
The clerk at Sanwei Bookstore’s stiff smile did not change at all. He looked straight ahead and did not react at all to Zheng Qing’s question.
Thomas glanced at him and replied slowly, "It's just that the boss has something to do. There are so many closed shops in the mall. If you have time to care about this, why not worry about what else is on the list that you haven't bought. I I still have to travel thousands of miles to fill out a report in the evening."
Zheng Qing felt that his eyes were very meaningful, so he hurriedly said.He gave up the idea of continuing to ask.
"Please put your things away." 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. stand up.
"Yao Xiaomi's standard spells, Emma's astronomy, Zhang Sima's basic talismans, Li Qihuang's potions, Yi Jiazi's divination, big history, Karl's magic philosophy. What is this?" Count to the end , Zheng Qing held up a very simply bound book and asked, "This book is not in the book list. Did I give it to you by mistake?"
"This is the admission guide given to you by the school. Every year, there are new students in the school. You may 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 save you from detours in school." Thomas sighed, "Although the binding of this book is very poor. The contents inside are worth taking a look at."
Zheng Qing nodded and stuffed the book "Into the First University" into the cardboard box.
"Give the list of books to the clerk." Thomas ordered.
Zheng Qing handed the green book list to the stiff-faced clerk.
The clerk raised the piece of paper to his eyes, his eyes widened, his eyes bulging out, two golden rays of light shot out, and he scanned the book list several times.
When the book list returned to his hand, Zheng Qing found that the series of books on it had disappeared. The names that disappeared are staying safely in the boxes next to him.
"You don't have space equipment?" Thomas looked at Zheng Qing curiously as he prepared to pick up the box, and couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, you said that, I have it." Zheng Qing couldn't help but look around, his face slightly red, "My husband didn't let me use this outside at will."
As he spoke, he reached out from his arms and took out the palm-sized gray cloth bag embroidered with golden runes. He shook the mouth of the bag against several boxes stacked together.
Several boxes suddenly turned into a stream of light and got into the bag.
“Very beautiful pockets.” The stiff-faced clerk suddenly praised from the side, startling Zheng Qing.
He always thought that these clerks would only solve mechanical problems in a programmed manner.
Before leaving the bookstore, Zheng Qing looked back at Sanyou Bookstore next to him.
The deserted courtyard looks so unique in the bustling Four Seasons Square.
He decided to find his husband as soon as possible after returning home and ask questions.
Thomas frowned and walked slowly in front, seeming to be thinking about something.
The two fell into a strange and quiet atmosphere for a while.
It wasn’t until they passed several pet shops that the noise of the chirping little animals in the cages outside the shops broke the silence between them again.
A fine falcon stood on the eaves and looked aroundShe is majestic and looks down on all living beings proudly.
In the mud nest under the eaves, a few swallows looked around with their heads exposed; a few black bats took a nap hanging on the tenon frame next to them.
On the wall, two lizards stretched out their slender claws and strolled around slowly, spitting out their bright red tongues from time to time to intimidate the buzzing flies.
In the open space in front of the store, three milk cats were holding down a fat mouse and beating it violently. A rabbit next to it was holding up its own carrot and looking at it with gusto.
“These little things are so interesting,” Zheng Qing muttered, looking at the poor big mouse with bared teeth.
"Yes." Thomas came back to his senses, 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 the good relationship with these natural partners. Friendship. As a wizard, you may not like spells, but you will not dislike these little animals."
"Can I buy one?" Zheng Qing was shocked when he heard this, and he quickly raised his head and raised his eyes. There was a trace of desire in it.
"No." Thomas shook his head simply, "You are a publicly funded student in the school, and the scholarship is only enough for you to prepare study supplies. You have to find your own living expenses, let alone pets. ."
