The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

In the middle of the night, the howling north wind whipped up the snowflakes that were stirred into fine ice particles and kept beating on the windows that had already been frosted due to the temperature difference between inside and outside, making a rustling sound.

Fortunately, the heater in the duty emergency room was very hot, so the captain who worked the night shift did not feel cold at all. It was just that the heat that hit his face made him feel a little drowsy.

But he can't sleep now. Someone will come to take over the shift in another hour. The emergency room does have a bed for people to rest, so he, who is responsible for the first half of the night, can have a good sleep here until the second night. It was dawn the next day.

After all, the heating here is much better than that in the barracks, and there are free midnight snacks.

It can be regarded as a benefit for these personnel on duty.

There were only two things placed on the spacious but somewhat empty desk in front of the captain.

The first one is a white telephone.

The second one is a red telephone.

The captain has been on duty here for half a year. Occasionally, the white phone will ring suddenly in the middle of the night, waking him up when he is a little drowsy - usually it is a small matter that is not particularly urgent. Occasionally, it may be necessary. He made another call to some other departments, but this kind of thing had not happened for a long time.

As for that red phone...

The captain didn't know whether the phone would ring, but he knew the meaning of the phone ringing.

That means something really big has happened.

tick tock...

The old-fashioned clock hanging on the wall was ticking, and time seemed to pass quickly in this warm environment. When the captain finally closed his eyes because of the warmth and sleepiness, and then he couldn't sleep because of the thought When I woke up, another hour had passed.

He raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall. It was now 12 o'clock exactly at midnight.

"It's time to hand over the shift in one hour."

the captain said to himself.

"Jingle Bell"!

Just when the captain was about to go to the boiling water room outside to get some boiling water to make tea to refresh himself, a rapid ringing sound came from the desk behind him.

"Ah! Why is it at this time?"

The captain scratched his hair unhappily, then walked back to the solid wood desk with a dejected expression, and grabbed the receiver of the white phone on the table.

"Hello, night brigade duty room."

the captain said into the microphone.

But just when he put the microphone to his ear, a beeping sound came from inside.

"There is no call coming from this phone? Where does the sound come from now?"

The captain was very confused and put the receiver of the white phone back on the phone, but the rapid ringing tone of the phone was still ringing in this small space.

At this time, the captain finally understood something.

The white phone didn't ring at all.

What was ringing urgently was the red phone...

-----Dividing line------

Shen Jian's home is located at the eastern end of the family courtyard in the garrison area. It is a villa with an independent courtyard. There is also a grape trellis in the garden for enjoying the cool weather in summer, but it has long been buried under the thick snow. bingo.

"I haven't had time to remove the snow today. I'll do it later. There are two snow removal shovels in the tool room that can automatically shovel snow. It can be cleaned in less than 10 minutes."

As Shen Jian said that, he led the two of them into his yard.

"Why doesn't your friend use magic to clear the snow?"

Astoria asked Zhang Qi strangely.

"The magic in China doesn't pay much attention to daily life. Their houses, whether cooking or sanitation, are all done with bare hands."

Zhang Qi said to Astoria.

As Shen Jian opened the door and pressed the light switch in the hall, several people walked into the living room of the single-family villa.

The decoration here is very simple, almost without any decoration.

There was a solid wood clothes hanger at the gate, with a big-brimmed hat hanging on it. Xu Lin was probably in a hurry after receiving the mission and forgot to take it with her.

There are fabric sofas, a solid wood coffee table and a solid wood TV cabinet in the living room.There was a relatively new-looking TV placed on the TV cabinet, plus a small flowerpot with a half-dead cactus in it.

At first glance, it seems that I usually water a little too much.

"You two will stay in the guest room on the first floor today. There are exactly two rooms, and you can come upstairs to see me if you need anything. The room corresponding to the staircase is my room."

Shen Jian said to Zhang Qi.

"Of course, if you are willing, I can turn a guest room downstairs into a utility room, so you will only have one room left"...

"Thank you."

Zhang Qi's mouth twitched, resisting the desire to raise his hand and hit him on the head.

What kind of weird people are these!

Zhang Qi even suspected that the Shen Jian in front of him was a fake, and that Hekmedia used polyjuice to pretend to be a certain fact between him and Astoria. In this case, Zhang Qi would He couldn't object to this weird engagement that Hekmadia had made for him.

"By the way, where is your sister? Logically speaking, she should have gone home from school at this late hour, right?"

Zhang Qi suddenly thought of this matter, so he asked casually.

"Thank you for your concern for my sister, but she has practical classes tonight. She may have to live on campus and won't be back until tomorrow morning."

Shen Jian stared at Zhang Qi with a suspicious look, as if he was worried about something.

"What's wrong? I miss your sister"?

Zhang Qi looked at Shen Jian's slightly weird expression and asked a little strangely.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about you."

Shen Jian muttered some words of unknown meaning in a low voice.

"What? I didn't hear you clearly just now, please say it again."

Zhang Qi tilted his head and said in confusion.

He really didn't hear clearly what the other person said just now, after all, Shen Jian's voice just now was indeed too soft.

"It's nothing. I'm going to bed first. I have to get up early tomorrow morning to take you to the outskirts of the city."

Shen Jian said to Zhang Qi.

"Then you'd better go to bed quickly. I don't want someone to accidentally fall asleep while driving and then send me away directly"...

Zhang Qi lowered his head and muttered.

"Good guy, it turns out you don't trust me so much. This really makes me sad."

Shen Jian pretended to be in pain and covered his chest, and at the same time began to breathe heavily.

"Stop pretending. Can you get up and cook tomorrow morning? If not, I'll do it."

Zhang Qi said to Shen Jian unceremoniously.

"Come on, I'm still not very good at cooking."

Shen Jian said with a painful look on his face.

His cooking skills...

It's all tears when I talk about it.

I remember one time, the cooking class was missing two people due to colds due to the change of seasons, so the training instructor, who did not know the seriousness of the matter, sent Shen Jian to the cooking class for two days to start.

After all, this child usually gets full marks in basic training, and his tactical literacy is good. Besides, he is the child of a big boss, so let him help with cooking, and it will not delay his final grades anyway.

As a result, this incident became the most regretful thing in this instructor's life.

When Shen Jian was working as a helper in the kitchen, an old squad leader in the cooking class asked him to bring salt and sprinkle it into today's stew.

Because the soy sauce is a little bland if you add too little, you need to add a little more salt.

result……

This was the first time that Shen Jian entered the kitchen. In a panic, he successfully mistook the bag and poured a bag of edible sodium carbonate into the pot, mistaking it for sodium chloride.

But that’s alkali, not salt!

Although sodium carbonate is also a salt in the chemical category, it is not salty salt!

However, the old cooks who were busy peeling potatoes did not notice what stupid thing the child had done, so this pot of fragrant stew was finally successfully served to the company's dining table.

After training all day, most of the people were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, so when they smelled the aroma of the stew and heard the instructor’s voice of “dinner”, they all viciously put their chopsticks into the stew. meat in a stainless steel basin.

As a result, when they put the chopsticks holding the big pieces of meat into their mouths, they felt something different.

It was an indescribable feeling. They had never imagined that their taste buds could feel such excitement in their lives.

It was a bitter and astringent taste with a hint of salty and umami.

Any flavor on its own is bearable and may even be quite pleasant.

But once these flavors are mixed together, mixed with juice, they explode in your mouth.

Your nervous system will make the most correct decision.

"Ugh"~

Most people feel something is wrong when they take a bite of the piece of meat, but it is already too late.

The originally noisy cafeteria suddenly became tidy when everyone bent down and started to vomit.

But this uniform situation did not last too long.

After the neat vomiting, there were bursts of coughing and yelling. Some anxious students had already picked up the stainless steel chopsticks and large spoons on the table, planning to rush to the kitchen to beat someone.

The scene that day was very joyful. Shen Jian was running fast in front, still wearing the kitchen apron that he had not taken off because he was running for his life in a hurry. Behind him were several very annoyed students who were chasing him desperately, holding a bag in his hand. A large spoon used for serving soup in the cafeteria.

From then on, the instructor ordered Shen Jian not to go near the cafeteria except during meal time, and wrote a 3000-word review.

This self-examination can be regarded as saving his life, because it was for the sake of this self-examination that the students who had ruined their dinner did not knock his head open with a horse spoon.

As we all know, there are two types of people in the military that you shouldn't mess with.

The first is the health worker, because the health worker is usually a female soldier, and female soldiers always receive special care from male soldiers.

Besides, if you offend these female doctors...

Then next time if you have any minor illness and need to draw blood, or when you have a blood test at the end of the year, just wait and scream.

Your comrades will truly understand what it means to howl like a pig.

The second category of people who cannot be offended is the cooks.

As we all know, a cook is a cook at ordinary times and a head chef when he is in a good mood.

And if they're in a bad mood...

That's the zookeeper.

More importantly, this is because you offended Lao Chui alone, and as a result, the whole company was unable to eat well at night.

Then you just wait.

What kind of tragic ending will greet you?

I'm not sure.

Maybe you can ask those who were put in sacks and thrown into the toilet by their comrades at night.

They may give you a good explanation.

The book is back to normal.

After joking with Shen Jian for a while, Zhang Qi finally said good night to him and sent him upstairs.

After all, he would probably be the one driving the car tomorrow morning, so let him have a good rest.

Zhang Qi didn't want to die from the venom of the basilisk's fangs, but ended up dying in a car accident.

This is not the ending he wants.

Rather than die from a car rollover due to fatigue driving on the highway, Zhang Qi still wants to stay at home in the future.

Maybe raise a daughter, and then teach her swordsmanship, shooting and martial arts. If you encounter a gangster without eyes in the future, you can just kick their lower body.

This is a good daughter of a good father

Zhang Qi thought silently in his heart, and even had a smile on his face.

Bah bah bah, what am I thinking about now?

Suddenly, Zhang Qi blushed and shook his head.

It's really too early for you to think about it now.

It must be that my unreliable mother has led me astray recently.

How could a normal person like me think of such strange things?

It must be so!

Zhang Qi thought with certainty, so he nodded fiercely.

"What's wrong with you?"

After Astoria saw Zhang Qi's strange behavior, she tilted her head in confusion.

"Ah, it's okay, I just made sure of one thing in my heart."

There was a trace of fever on Zhang Qi's face at this time, but it was at night, and Astoria couldn't see it clearly.

"The heating in this room should be relatively sufficient. After all, the heating pipe enters the house here. You can sleep here at night. Remember to cover yourself with more quilts to avoid catching cold."

Zhang Qi chose the room closest to the door for Astoria, because the heating pipe here enters the home from the living room, and the room he chose is where the second radiator is located.

We all know that the closer a heater is to the heat source, the warmer it is.

It is indeed more suitable for a weak girl like Astoria.

After all, women's heat receptors are completely different from men's. They still prefer a warmer environment and have a higher temperature tolerance.

"Ah, okay".

Astoria nodded slightly and walked into the room curiously.

Zhang Qi looked at Astoria's back and breathed a sigh of relief, then walked towards his room.

His only wish now is to have a good sleep at night.

In a safe place like China, nothing will happen in the middle of the night.

Zhang Qi thought silently in his heart.
