Vol 5 Chapter 158: Listening to the tide (1)

"This old man has been talking in the cloud."
"Last time, he hadn't even arrived, so the door didn't open, but he had to talk about "behind, not behind," which makes people think about it a few more times."
"Do you understand those words just now?"
Leaving Feiyuan, Zheng Qing complained all the way about the old man’s obscure speech, and at the same time expected Xiao Xiao to solve the old man’s mystery: "The old man said that the dark tide outside the island...the dark tide has been silent. It's over. Did he mean the Kuroshio next year?"
"It's the old man," Xiao Xiao first corrected Zheng Qing's improper use of words, and then cautiously replied: "As for the tide he mentioned, I don't think it is the real tide... but the general trend. The mighty world is the general trend. "
"The world... the general trend?" Zheng Qing hesitated for a few seconds, and finally waved his hand: "Well, since it is such a big problem, we still don't think about it... It's great to live our own little life honestly. "
"We are not the same." Xiao Xiao glanced at the young public-funded student and vomited: "As the saying goes,'cats and dogs are in groups, children are in pairs' is a winner in life. Now you are only half the distance from becoming a winner in life. Live our own little life. And we losers who don’t even have a dog need the tide of the times to realize our dreams..."
Zheng Qing thought about it for a few seconds.
He has a group of cats, a dog that can be grouped, and a little fox.
So, I only have one son!
He muttered to himself from the bottom of his heart, and his spirit was immediately refreshed. By this calculation, he was only a quarter away from the winner in life.
"What are you muttering in your heart?" Xiao Xiao asked as if hearing Zheng Qing's voice.
"There is a mouse there, did you see it?" Zheng Qing pretended not to hear the doctor's question, but instead pointed to a sycamore not far away, yelling: "Wearing a red vest...it's rare! You! Do you think Dingdang's ears know them?"
Xiao Xiao looked in the direction of Zheng Qing's fingers.
Under the plane trees, a mouse wearing a red vest looked back at them, then turned around, got into the tree, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
...
...
The mouse in the red vest got into the tree hole and ran all the way, and soon reached a fork in the road.
There are two branches at that intersection, one of which is narrower, similar to the one below it; the other is wider, allowing two big rats to move side by side.
The mouse in the red vest stopped for a moment at the intersection.
Soon, a rustling sound came from the narrow fork road. After a while, another larger mouse, wearing a red vest, jumped out, and the first mouse nodded.
There is no sound.
Two mice one after another, silently, jumped into the wider fork road together.
that's it.
One fork, two forks, and three forks.
With more and more forks passing by, the rat path under him became wider and wider, and there were more and more rats walking in the rat path. The vests on their bodies are no longer limited to red. Cyan and even yellow vests have appeared. At first, the mouse in the red vest was submerged in the various vests and disappeared.
The turbulent rat swarms are like tides, surging in the caves in all directions, their rapid footsteps are intertwined, and they are more dense and magnificent than the downpour of summer.
On top of these caves.
The ground far away from these mice.
Located in a small shop at the end of the pedestrian street in Beta Town.
The yellow flower raccoon is sitting on the highest bookshelf in Sanyou Bookstore, listening to the sound of the rat tide surging under the ground with his ears sideways and head down. His pupils are slightly narrowed, emitting an orange glow in the morning light, dripping. It's a bit profound.
Although the door of the bookstore is closed, it is not empty inside.
In addition to the yellow flower raccoon, there is an uninvited guest in the shop.
Old Yao bit his pipe and sat cross-legged on the thick carpet. His wide black robe seemed to be a shadow, spreading from the corner of the room to the center of the room, and then stopped abruptly under the sunlight from the windows.
There is a tea tray in front of him.
On the plate is a small saucer of red sauce, a few peanuts, a small red clay teapot, and a square-mouth teacup. Silver-white mist gushes from the teapot's mouth, like a snake walking on the road to the sky.
Old Yao picked up a peanut with chopsticks, threw it into a small dish and rolled it, dipped it with some sauce, then stuffed it into his mouth, chewing slowly, his voice seemed muddy under the action of the sauce:
"...Lei Zhe and Augustus both agreed to retire and hold general elections ahead of schedule. This has made the disputes between Jiuyou College and Alpha College a lot less during this period... Those children have focused on the general elections. They have not fallen to the point where they use external contradictions to create elections."
"Of course this is a good thing. It can ease the pressure on the school. Did you know? Since that tree bloomed~EbookFREE.me~ I haven't had a good day to rest... Either I am fighting with myself, or I am taking care of it. The school fights. But this is not the worst."
"The worst thing is that we know that the school-or Phuket Island-has Xiang Liu's eyeliner, but we still can't pull it out. Just like Xiang Liu's old sea monster's head, cut off an old one, There is a new one. It can always find the right collaborator among us..."
The yellow flower raccoon shook his ears, and squinted at Old Yao.
His eyes were full of mockery.
Old Yao turned a blind eye, took another peanut, and dipped it in the sauce:
"...I am here today, not just to complain. I just want to analyze the current situation with you."
"The current situation is-the school is understaffed. Xuan Huangguo watched for ten days and a half months to land. We didn't know where Xiang Liu attacked from. My old relationship over there was not even aware of this. It's true. Of course, their words are not credible."
"So the professors' joint meeting two days ago decided to further reduce the force and place most of the force in the black prison. To prevent any sudden attack... and this will weaken the school, especially the defense force of the school's periphery."
"You know, we can't count on the other side..."
With that said, Lao Yao pointed at the wandering obliquely across from Sanyou Bookstore with his chopsticks, stopped, and added: "We can't expect that old guy to help defend, thank God if he doesn't add chaos... It just so happens that you recently Time stays in the town again. So, can you take a look at the town... Don’t worry about the school, the guardian circle is still very stable."
The yellow flower raccoon finally took his gaze back from the empty floor.
It fell on Old Yao.
"It's my shit." Its beard droops down, obviously in a bad mood.
