Chapter 204

There is no coach for people to rent in the villa area, but few people walk here at night. Through the guardrail, you can see that most of the villas are lit, so it's not too dim. Lena takes it as a walk after dinner.

There were signs on the road, so he didn't get lost and quickly walked out of the residential area.

Outside the residential area is a commercial street. People come and go, enjoying the night.

Lena noticed that many young people wear uniform robes, which should be the uniform of Astor High School of witchcraft and Wizardry. They get together in pubs, drink up, discuss in cafes, or chat happily with snacks in front of roadside stalls.

This reminds Lena of his student days. After studying, he sneaks out of the school and has a snack street called "back street" in every university. He has a good meal with his friends.

With a smile on his face, he walked slowly down the street.

Soon, Lena noticed that outside the shops, there was an old man pushing a cart back and forth.

"Would you like some special pancakes? There's also cold coke."

She yelled in a low voice, but most of the pedestrians didn't stop because of it. For them, the food in those shops is more attractive than the food sold by an old man with unknown origin.

Even some drunken young people turned away the old man with a look of disgust, as if she had some infectious disease, and even picked up the wine bottle.

"Go away, old woman, don't come near us."

That person's tone is bad, the people around him have already held him, it seems that he is drunk not clear, all the distress encountered in the day into a vicious language, to this strange old man.

He kicked a cart, which just made the cart lose its balance and roll over on the ground. It's a pity that the pancakes, which are full of fragrance, also scatter on the ground.

Lena saw it all. He didn't mind his own business, but the student who noticed his eyes didn't think so.

"What are you looking at, you fellow, dissatisfied?"

He was completely drunk, his eyes were blurred, and he didn't know that he was still a little sober.

His companions, embarrassed, apologized to Lena with their eyes. They saw a ring of Lena's mage logo and thought it was a classmate from the same school.

"Damn, that guy killed my paper again. He must have done it on purpose. Do I really have to pay for it?"

The drunk burst out crying, blushing and shouting.

It seems that he has not paid attention to Lena's meaning. The students around him pull him away, leaving only the cart turned over and the old woman who is cleaning up.

The old woman didn't say a word. Although the food on the ground was no longer edible, she picked it up one by one with her hands, put it into a bag and prepared to throw it into the public garbage can. The old man's action was very slow but very serious.

"Don't pick it up, old man."

Lena said, then quickly cleaned up the ground with the master's hand, helped to lift the cart up, and made the old woman raise her head.

At night, although there are street lights shining, but still can not see clearly, Lena saw the white haired old man's eyes, but it is not that insensitive eyes, but clearly shining with a few brilliance.

"Thank you, this classmate."

Obviously, she also took Lena as a student in the college. She wiped her hands with a towel that she had obviously used for a long time. The old woman took out a bottle of black drink from the cabinet of the trolley and handed it to Lena.

"This is a gift in return for your help."

That's a new moon coke.

"This drink from the south is very popular with young people. You may not have drunk it."

"No, I did. Thank you."

In fact, the inventor of this novel beverage, which is popular in mainland China, is Lena.

Lena smiles and takes the bottle. It's a simple package without the mage card. It's specially for anti-sale by steam trains, airships and some scattered businesses.

The glass bottle was very cold, and soon a layer of dew was condensed on the surface. It seems that ice and other cooling methods were used to keep the low temperature of coke in that cabinet. Although the old man is old, he still has a lot of research on new things.

He opened the bottle cap skillfully and took a sip, which was the same as before.

"Old man, you shouldn't sell things in this street. Those shops attract most people. You can go to those shopping streets where clothes are sold."

Lena suggested casually, but the old man shook his head.

"My legs are not sharp. I live near here. I can't walk too far."

She spoke with a little northern accent, and it was obvious that the old woman was not a Tristan.

Lena nodded and took another sip of his coke.

Because the bottles needed to be recycled, he simply stood beside the old woman, ready to drink and then leave."Do you students who study magic in school know how to meet the people on the paper review board?"

Seeing that Lena had a good attitude, she asked.

"Paper review board, what do you want to do with them?"

Lena is a little strange. This old man is definitely not a wizard, and doesn't look like those people who are waiting for their papers to be re evaluated. What does she want to do with the paper review committee?

"Ha ha, I have a paper here. I want them to have a look at it."

The old lady's words surprised Lena, but they didn't show on her face. Instead, she asked quietly.

"Old man, have you ever studied magic? How can you write a paper? What is it about? "

Hearing Lena's words, the old woman laughed and had no choice.

"It's not my paper. I don't even know a few words. How can I write those things. This is my son's paper, and I can't understand it. He didn't tell me the content of it

At this, Lena frowned.

It seems that the son's paper was rejected, so he wanted to seek the review of the paper review committee.

To be honest, with the perpetual motion machine farce in the morning, Lena was a little alienated from the protestors gathered outside the paper review committee.

What's more, the son has to drag his mother to run for him.

Lena looked up and down at the old man. In fact, she was not so old, but her hair was gray, and her clothes were very old. She had been patched many times, and her hands were covered with calluses. It was obvious that she was in long-term labor.

For the sake of a stupid idea, he even implicated his mother. Such a gnawing family really made Lena despise.

Lena didn't expose his identity rashly. First, he still had doubts about his wife's paper. Second, the current environment is not suitable for reading the paper. He drank the rest of the coke and handed the bottle back to the old man. After thinking about it, Lena took out two silver coins and quietly put them into the old woman's pocket.

Although he didn't like those who indulged in his own world, Lena was a little generous for the sake of the old woman's hard work for her son.

"Granny, I think you'd better advise your son to focus on the right things and stop thinking about the illusory things. But if he insists on reviewing again, he can send the paper to this address tomorrow evening. I know that there is a reviewer living there."

At last, Lena took out a note, wrote down her address and gave it to the old woman.

"Thank you, thank you."

With a nod of thanks to her mother-in-law, Lena went straight away, called a rental carriage at the corner of the street and left the street.
