"Well... there is still some time." Gu Xiaoying nodded, "Let me go to your dormitory with you first."
"Let's go."
I glanced at the students in the shade of the trees in the distance, strolling with their books in their arms, and the people who hurried past nearby, rushing to the library or classroom,
Lian Ge looked away, smiled, and walked towards the dormitory.
……
The dormitory building, the dormitory where Lian Ge lived before.
Although there was a sign outside the dormitory building that women are not allowed to enter, Gu Xiaoying followed Lian Ge upstairs without any effort.
"Crack."
After taking out the door card that had not been used for a long time, Lian Ge walked in with Gu Xiaoying after swiping open the door of the dormitory.
In the standard four-person dormitory, the other three are not there at the moment, and it seems a little quiet.
After scanning the dormitory, which seemed to be unchanged, Lian Ge walked to his desk and began to pack his things.
"Lian Ge, do you want more beds?"
"I don't need those things, they are all from the school I bought before, and there is no need to take them away."
Lian Ge responded, shook his head, and then looked at the "Pharmacology" that was still open on his desk.
Stretching out his hand, he touched the notes he had made,
"Lian Ge, then you..." Gu Xiaoying noticed Lian Ge's movements and paused.
"No, just take these books away."
Lian Ge touched the handwriting on the book, glanced at the stack of books on the bookshelf, and said with a smile.
"Okay then, let me put it on for you." Gu Xiaoying said softly.
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, then turned around and walked towards the balcony.
"Squeak... squeak..."
As soon as I stepped in and opened the balcony door, I heard that familiar voice,
Lowering his head, looking at the little white mouse locked in an iron cage by the balcony, Lian Ge couldn't help smiling,
"Lian Ge, is this the experimental mouse you raised?"
"Well, yes, I planned to use it to do some experiments. Before I left, I gave some money and asked my old friend to help feed it. It seems that I don't need it now."
"Then take it away?"
Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't reply directly, but squatted down, and took a look at the little white mouse who was sniffing something carefully.
"Take it away."
Standing up again, Lian Ge lifted the cage containing the mice.
As if sensing the change in the environment, the little white mouse couldn't help moving around in the iron cage.
"Is there anything else that needs to be packed?" Gu Xiaoying, who put all the books into a bag for him, looked at Lian Ge who was carrying the little white mouse cage.
"No, that's it, let's go."
Lian Ge stretched out his other hand, picked up the bag containing the books, and shook his head at the same time.
Glancing again at the bedroom where he had been staying for several years, Lian Ge walked out of the dormitory without staying any longer.
Behind him, Gu Xiaoying followed closely.
Chapter 55 Amulet
"Boss Lian, when did you come back?"
"just came back."
"Is this carrying something?"
"I have to go again."
"Yo, are you finally going to move out with your sister-in-law?"
"No, I'm not going to study anymore. It can be regarded as going home to inherit the family business."
"...As expected of Boss Lian."
"Before I troubled you to take care of this little white mouse, you can come to me in the future if you need anything."
"Why are you being polite, boss, you also gave money."
"...I won't talk anymore, let's get together next time, and let's go first."
"Okay, Mr. Lian, you go slowly..."
……
In the corridor, I ran into a roommate who came back from the library. After exchanging a few words, Lian Ge, who was carrying the book and the mouse cage, didn't stay any longer, and stepped out of the dormitory building.
At the side, Gu Xiaoying naturally followed closely.
Outside the dormitory.
After scanning the dormitory again, Lian Ge turned around and looked at Gu Xiaoying,
"I'll take you to the classroom first."
"Why don't you find a place to put your things away?" Gu Xiaoying glanced at the bag that Singer Lian was carrying, which contained several tomes.
"No need." Lian Ge lowered his head and swept his eyes,
Although the bag weighed less than a few kilograms, after his physique was nourished and strengthened by mana, he really didn't feel much in his hand.
"Let's go."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoying didn't say anything, just walked shoulder to shoulder and followed Lian Ge towards the classroom.
……
All the way, passing the more familiar school road,
Lian Ge, who was carrying something, naturally attracted the attention of many people, but no one was too surprised. They basically glanced at it, then turned their eyes away and continued to be busy with their own affairs.
Send Gu Xiaoying to the door of the classroom,
Listening to the old professor's voice in the classroom, Lian Ge turned his head to look at Gu Xiaoying,
"Student Xiaoying, you seem to be late."
"Hmm...shh!" Gu Xiaoying nodded first, and then signaled Lian Ge to lower her voice.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xiaoying signaled with gestures and eyes that she was about to enter the classroom.
Lian Ge smiled slightly, nodded, and then watched Gu Xiaoying sneak in through the back door like a thief.
"...For the student who just came in from outside the classroom, you can answer this question." The old professor turned around and said,
"And outside the classroom, the classmate who is carrying things, come, and you come and answer."
Hearing the sound, Lian Ge smiled slightly,
He didn't refuse, and walked a few more steps into the classroom.
"This question mainly involves..."
After glancing at what was being said on the screen, Lian Ge talked eloquently and gave answers easily and freely.
"...All right," the old professor waved his hand five minutes later and said angrily,
"Where should I go? What are graduate students doing here?"
Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't explain, just smiled slightly, gestured to Gu Xiaoying, then turned and left.
"...Come on, let's continue talking..."
Listening to the sound of lectures gradually moving away behind him, Lian Ge walked straight out of the teaching building with the books and the little white mouse in his hand, and walked towards the outside of the school.
All the way across the campus road again,
He was alone now, and the sense of alienation from his surroundings was stronger than ever.
Outside the school gate, looking at the people who come in and out from time to time,
Lian Ge smiled and shook his head,
As Gu Xiaoying said just now, although the graduation assessment has not been completed, he is no longer a medical student.
Turning around without staying any longer, Lian Ge left the school straight away.
……
Time passed, and after a moment,
"Crack... bang."
"Boom..."
Returning to Gu Xiaoying's home, he put down the stack of books and the cage containing the mice, and glanced at the somewhat quiet house, Lian Ge stretched out his hand and opened the bag containing the books,
"Whoa..."
The zipper opened in response, and Lian Ge took out a stack of yellow paper, a pen, two taels of cinnabar, an ordinary inkstone and the ink stick that came with the inkstone.
He bought this by the way from the funeral shop behind Union Medical College Hospital.
After putting these things down on the coffee table in the living room, Lian Ge picked up the two taels of cinnabar wrapped in paper, unpacked it, and poured about two or three qian on the inkstone.
Wrapping the remaining cinnabar casually and throwing it aside, Lian Ge picked up the inkstone, walked into the kitchen, and poured some water on the inkstone under the faucet.
After turning on the faucet, Lian Ge walked back to the coffee table in the living room, carrying the inkstone with cinnabar and water,
"Boom."
The sound of the inkstone colliding with the glass coffee table sounded slightly. After putting down the inkstone, Lian Ge picked up the attached ink stick, mixed it with water and cinnabar, and ground it in the inkstone.
After a while,
Seeing that the ink mixed with cinnabar was almost the same, Lian Ge put down the ink, picked up the pen,
He was going to take advantage of this moment to make the talisman that he had promised to his teacher and his wife.
Holding the pen, Lian Ge looked at the yellow paper that had been cut, his eyes were slightly dimmed, and his movements were also slightly paused.
While concentrating on transferring the mana in his body, he was also thinking about what kind of talisman to draw.
After thinking for a while, Lian Ge picked up the pen, dipped in the ink mixed with cinnabar, drove the mana concentration and the pen tip, and began to draw on the paper.
"Just 'Amulet'"
Lian Ge's eyes were half-emptied, and his movements were slow and steady.
Under the eyes of the sky, above the talisman seal, the place where the brush strokes are full of spiritual light.
"Bah..."
While Lian Ge was drawing the incantation, a cluster of fire suddenly sprang up from the talisman paper, burning the unfinished talisman completely.
Following this, the first attempt to make an 'Amulet' failed,
"It seems that the success rate is not high..."
Lian Ge slightly moved his hands away to avoid the flames and muttered to himself, while also reflecting on the problems in the talisman making process just now,
"The control over mana is still not fine enough, it's too rough... At the same time, this yellow paper itself has no spirituality, and the ability to carry mana is not strong."
Shaking his head, Lian Ge pulled a piece of yellow paper from the side again, and started to try again.
……
Time passes slowly,
from morning to noon,
The sun outside the house climbed into the sky and began to slant west again,
Inside the house, the talisman papers that were suddenly ignited and turned into ashes, as well as the discarded yellow papers with only part of the incantations written on them gradually increased, and were piled up on the edge of the coffee table.
