Vol 5 Chapter 21: Silent River Rumor

The Silent River is winding, winding around the wall outside Alpha Castle, passing through the atrium of nine universities, and embracing most of the first university in his chest.
Few students know where the river originated. Everyone only knows that these quietly flowing rivers run through the entire silent forest, connecting four colleges, many research institutes, and many other secret and magical territories on Phuket Island.
Extending waterways connect every corner of the first university, and it is the second transportation network that covers the entire campus except for the ‘promenade’. It's just that unlike the promenade where people come and go, the popularity of this river seems a bit miserable.
On the one hand, because of the long distance and slow speed of the river, it is very unfriendly to the students who often step on the deadline for class; on the other hand, there are often endless and endless pests such as water ghosts and kappa in the river. Except for those madmen who are addicted to fighting in the Star Academy, no one wants to be infected with grievances every day.
After all, everyone is a wizard.
Fighting and killing is not a label on a wizard.
Therefore, the means of transportation floating on the river are very limited, with only a few dilapidated wooden boats.
When Zheng Qing's group arrived at the pier of Linzhong Lake, the small wooden boat was about to set off.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I won't be able to catch up with the starting ship!" Xiao Xiao held the notebook in one hand, lifted the hem of the robe in the other, shouting in his mouth, running fast.
Fatty Xin followed the back, babbling, and complaining intermittently: "Blame me?! It's all because of you...otherwise, otherwise we'll be there!"
Zheng Qing was caught in the middle of the two, silent and happy.
The old ferryman stood at the pier, waved to the young wizards, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up, the last train in the morning is about to leave!"
This ferry boat, which is very famous throughout the wizarding world, is not big, about ten meters long. Compared with the largest number of small boats in Linzhong Lake, the ferry boat that can travel on the quiet river has a small cabin. . Most of the time, the students on the boat need to stay in that small cabin.
The route and number of this ferry boat departing from Linzhong Lake are fixed. Starting at 7 o'clock in the morning, there will be a trip every half an hour, a total of five ships. Upstream along the Silent River, through the Silent Forest, passing through the residences of several colleges, four blocks in Beta Town, and then back to the dock at Linzhong Lake in the evening.
The boatmen who ferry boats are all old school workers of the school working committee.
The old man Verne, who was in charge of Zheng Qing’s night patrol mission last semester, was transferred to the ferry station as a boatman because of a night patrol accident.
It's just that the person responsible for ferrying Zheng Qing is not the old man Verne, but an old school worker named Bernard Shaw.
It is said that this teacher Xiao used to be a professor at Jiuyou College. He worked at the school from a young age until he retired. He had no hobbies other than the laboratory and teaching, and he had no family and friends at the school. After retiring, he had nowhere else to go, so he simply joined the school work committee and became a ferryman on the quiet river. Many old school workers in the school work committee have such qualifications.
When Xiao Xiao handed Zheng Qing the ferry ticket in the morning, Zheng Qing once doubted the relationship between him and Bernard Shaw.
"To be reasonable, both of you are surnamed Xiao... Does it really matter?" Zheng Qing asked Xiao Xiao like this.
The doctor said that he had nothing to say about the doubts of public-funded students: "Andrew Taylor and Andrew of Trident Sword are both called Andrews. Are they related? Why have I never questioned the relationship between you and Zheng Zha!"
"Who is Zheng Zha?!" Zheng Qing scratched his head.
"The captain of the veteran hunting team Zhongzhou team," Fatty Xin replied ostentatiously: "It is one of the few powerful hunting teams that can be independent of the two super hunting teams of Xianqin and Shengtang... This is every one The basic skills of the hunting captain!"
"The new world is so big, anyone can remember." Zheng Qing muttered, without blushing at all: "Moreover, "The First University Newspaper" or "Beta Town Post" never broadcast news from the outside... It’s normal."
After seeing the old man Bernard Shaw, Zheng Qing was finally convinced that there was really no relationship between Xiao Xiao and the old school worker.
On the one hand, the old man Bernard Shaw has a large frame, more than two meters high, which is in sharp contrast with Xiao Xiao’s slightly exquisite figure; on the other hand, the old man Bernard Shaw has dark green eyes-obviously And Dr. Xiao Da are two races.
Similar to the old man Verne, the old man Bernard Shaw is also an alcoholic.
This was confirmed by Zheng Qing when he saw him.
At that time, Fatty Xin, adhering to the identity of a qualified reporter, solemnly interviewed the old boatman who was packing up his things and preparing to set sail: "...What's the point of this boat ferrying on a quiet river?"
"Hehe," the old boatman raised his head and took a sip of wine, and the clear drink slid into his clothes along his tousled beard, but he didn't mind at all-this seemed more bold than old Verne.
After swallowing the drink, the old boatman blinked his red eyes vigorously, and laughed:
"The young people nowadays are so cute, and they have to have meaning in everything. Without reasoning, it seems that what I do is meaningless!"
Fatty Xin waved his hands again and again: "That's not what I mean, I mean, it doesn't make sense that you don't know the meaning of ferrying yourself? I heard that you are crossing the river, how does this crossing person understand?"
"Magic is an unreasonable thing!" The old man's answer was as concise and clear as before.
Onlookers laughed dumbly.
The old man continued:
"I just ferry because I want to ferry, it's as simple as you live to live."
"My ferry is just a ferry. As for what you do with my ferry, it is your business. What you do is not what I mean."
Although this sentence is a bit convoluted, Zheng Qing heard it very clearly.
The old man Bernard Shaw ferrying is not for ferrying people, but for ferrying. As for some students who want to go to other places, some students want to go sightseeing, some students want to explore the forest, some students want to collect materials, etc., these have nothing to do with the old boatman's ferry.
Leaving the deck and entering the small cabin, Zheng Qing was still thinking about what Old Bernard Shaw had said before, but suddenly encountered a figure that caught him off guard.
Elena.
"Hey, happy new year!" The gypsy witch saw the young public student at a glance, immediately raised her arm, waved her hand, and greeted briskly: "You are on this ship too!"
Zheng Qing held back for a long time, then answered with a "um".
Then I couldn't say anything else.
This caused the two partners who were walking with him to shake their heads.
It's not that there is nothing to say. In fact, he has something to say to Elena-for example, how did she spend her winter vacation, why she was hot and cold to him, how was her final exam, are they still friends, etc. Wait-there are too many questions, but only one mouth, I really don't know where to start.
Moreover, there were other wizards sitting next to each other in the cabin, which made it difficult for him to speak privately with the witch.
When he was silent, the ferry boat left Linzhong Lake unhurriedly and sailed into the quiet and wide main channel of the Silent River.
Outside the cabin, the old boatman sang a melodious sailing tune while holding the boat poles:
...
Sway on the silent river
Who will noisy dreams
Wandering east and west, only wind chimes disturbed.
...
Look in the silent forest
Smell demon smile
Looking left and right ~EbookFREE.me~ but seeing the fog is faint.
...
Go for wine
Scoop that green bee
At sunset
Came to the dream to find
...
Find in dream
Breeze
Chuckle
Dawn
