Chapter 7 Cicadas(1/2)
11:00 pm.
A pigeon flew past the window, and the sound of flapping its wings was very heavy.
Zhou Li put the paper on the pile of books on the left and patiently wrote today's diary. Suddenly, a sound came from outside the window.
"Why don't you close the window?"
"hiss!"
Zhou Li was shocked.
Huai Xu lay on the window frame with both hands, supporting his body. The height of the 25th floor was without any qualifying surface. He looked at Zhou Li without blinking: "Are you writing a weekly diary?"
"journal."
"Oh, did you rewrite your diary when you get to high school?"
"Um."
“It’s so hard.”
"You've been so sudden that I'm so scared."
"I'm sorry, I thought you were very brave." So Huai Xu split his hand and knocked on the window.
"Come in!" Zhou Li suddenly saw a wound on Huai Xu's arm and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"
"I was bitten by the little demon." Huai Xu entered the room.
"Why were you bitten?"
"I asked him for a question, but he was unhappy to answer me, so he bit me. Fortunately, I was very sad. He also said that I bullied him and said that I was going to complain to someone." It sounded like Huai Xu didn't care much, "Where did I have it."
"If you can't ask, forget it." Zhou Li said.
"I asked." Huai Xu said, "It is said that the demon and humans made an agreement in the past. Monsters must not appear in front of ordinary people, they cannot contact ordinary people, they cannot interfere with ordinary people's lives, and they cannot do bad things... There are quite a lot of rules."
"So severe? What if it violates it?"
"This is an order issued by the Demon King himself. Generally speaking, no demon will violate it. They are all stubborn."
"What about you?"
"I didn't know before, I forgot." Huai Xu thought for a moment, "It seems that I should pay attention to it in the future. And I also found that if I don't do anything all day long, I will not remember anything. If I have something to do, it will be different. Look, I've only been with you for one day today, and many memories have loosened."
"Is there a demon king among the demons?"
"Yes, it is said to be a fish, which hasn't appeared in hundreds of years."
"A fish?"
"Well, they called him the Fish King. But this is the name you guys gave him, and we just used human language. Maybe he was just a respected monster, and ancient people gave him a title that suits people's ideas. If you don't feel used to it, you can also call him the Demon Emperor, the Demon Emperor, or the Demon President and the Demon President and the General Secretary of the Demon..."
"Ah!"
"Are you sick?"
"The smell of flowers is a bit strong." Zhou Li moved the hyacinth a little in the direction of the window.
"It's going to wither, I'm so arrogant." Huai Xu looked at the flowers and frowned slightly, "I seem to hear that there is a monster that can keep the flowers blooming."
"It's all too late."
"oh."
"What about that person? Is there anyone in the human being who is specialized in contacting and dealing with monsters, and can see monsters, like Taoist priests on TV?" Zhou Li didn't know how to organize the language for a while.
"You are talking about the kind that specializes in subduing demons and eliminating demons?"
"Probably, but I don't mean that..."
"I don't mean that either. Anyway, you can see demons like you. Are you talented? Some, ordinary people and demons also have many names for them. The most common ones are mages, celestial masters, and immortal chiefs." Huai Xu said and laughed, "I knew you would definitely be interested in this, so I asked you specifically."
"Thank you."
"You should be able to do this in the future."
"This is also something to learn, right?" Zhou Li asked.
"Yes, but I don't know how to learn it. I don't know that little demon. Do you want to do it?"
“I kind of want to learn.”
"You should learn what you should learn. If you can see monsters, you must learn to deal with monsters." Huai Xu said to Zhou Li, "Maybe there will be some troubles to come to you one day, but if you can't handle it, you will suffer."
"Yeah." Zhou Li thought it made sense.
"What do you want to do in the future?" Huai Xu asked again.
“I like animals.”
"Then?"
"I want to be a zoologist, or a zoo keeper, administrator, or go to the prairie to take pictures of animals and be a photographer." Zhou Li has been thinking about this for a long time, which is related to filling out the application form.
"Don't you take the college entrance exam?"
"Test!"
"You got into college and went to feed animals?" Huai Xu was a little confused about this. According to his experience, he got into college and was a man who had to be an astronaut and scientist, as well as teachers and doctors.
"almost."
At this time, some noise came from outside, and the two of them closed their mouths at the same time.
Zhou Li heard the sound of slippers hitting the floor. It was probably his younger brother Zhu Shuang, and then the sound of opening the refrigerator. Somehow Aunt Jiang discovered it. Aunt Jiang believed in health care recently, so she warned Zhu Shuang not to eat at night, which would lead to a series of physical illnesses.
Zhu Shuang didn't care and said that if you couldn't eat at night, why would there be a light in the refrigerator?
Aunt Jiang is still muttering.
Zhu Shuang did not refute, but just ran to Zhou Li's door and asked, "Brother, do you eat dried mushrooms?"
“Not to eat.”
"oh."
It gradually became quiet outside.
Huai Xu swallowed his saliva and continued to look at Zhou Li: "But if you want to practice other things, such as skills, I can teach you. Also, in the future, we can inquire about where there are very powerful people. As long as you find these people, you will probably get the method to become a celestial master."
Zhou Li nodded: "Let's talk about it after the college entrance examination."
The college entrance examination is the most important now.
There was chatting all the time, and it was too late before I knew it. Zhou Li considered that Huai Xu went to ask other monsters to help him solve his doubts, and then came to tell him at night, so he naturally couldn't bear to let him go, so he left him in the upper bunk for another night.
The next day, because of the extra morning self-study session in the senior year of high school, Zhou Li still went out before Zhu Shuang got up.
He brought a bag of dried mushrooms for Huaixue, and walked on the 25th floor of the stairs to finish eating.
Zhou Li arrived at the classroom early and looked out the window to be in a daze. Not long after, he saw a slim girl riding a bicycle whizzing in from the school gate, still riding on her standing sideways, and she stopped until the bicycle parking point.
Soon, deskmate Li came to the classroom, put his bag at the table, and greeted Zhou Li.
"It's early!"
"morning."
Huai Xu stood next to Zhou Li: "She is the one I saw that night, the one I was chased by a dog."
Zhou Li did not answer him.
Suddenly, Mr. Li discovered the small cake on the table. She had a wonderful expression. She swept around the classroom and quietly threw the cake into the trash can. She sat back and asked Zhou Li: "Is there anything particularly important yesterday? If so, tell me, so that I won't lose points if I get the exam."
"When the English teacher was giving a question, he said something that was easy to be misunderstood. You were the only one in the class who chose the question correctly. He said you must be confused."
"That old pervert, he has an objection to me!" Li Nan frowned and quickly stretched out, "No matter what, since I was right this time, I will definitely be able to get it right in the college entrance examination!"
"OK."
Zhou Li knew that English teachers always liked to target Li Nan.
As for the title of "Old Pervert", it was just because the English teacher divorced last year and got closer to the single female teachers in the school. With his greasy appearance, he smiled and his eyes narrowed, and wrinkles were stacked. The special actors who went to the crew to be perverts would probably be very popular.
I don’t know who started, but many classmates call him that.
Not long after, Li Nan came to Zhou Li again: "Hey, do you know why I didn't come yesterday?"
"I've entered the hospital."
"How do you know? Jiang Han said?" Li Nan's expression froze.
"She didn't say it." Zhou Li shook his head.
"I'll just say it! But you guessed quite..."
"Brother Nan is here!" Chen Guohua walked into the classroom and greeted Li Nan, "How is your health?"
"Okay, okay."
"Wow, Brother Nan, you are discharged from the hospital!" Zhang Xiuhua followed closely behind.
“Hey…yes, I’m discharged.”
