Chapter 003 The Museum
The colors of the night gradually became lighter, the sky slowly turned white, the sunlight slowly cast a red glow, the morning glow dyed the clouds' wings red, and the emerald green birds outside the window sang a brisk song.
The maple-colored desk is neatly arranged, with a golden sunlight shining on Qiao Zhi's desk. The crystal clear mirror of the Qiankun Magic Mirror reflects colorful light.
Before the alarm clock rang, Qiao Zhi got up early.
He washed his face, brushed his teeth, folded the quilt, and did everything in an orderly manner. He placed his mother's breakfast on the dining table, including egg custard, sweet corn, carrots and small meatballs, and with grain rice, it was so delicious.
The delicious breakfast was not finished yet, and Qiao Zhi’s door was knocked and thudded.
A hurried voice sounded outside the door: "Qiao Zhi, Qiao Zhi, let's go!"
You don’t need to guess that the person knocking on the door must be Meng Meng, the sports committee member in the class. He is a strongman in the class. He can always unscrew the bottle cap that a female classmate can’t unscrew.
However, the price of unscrewing the bottle cap is that the water in the bottle will be sprayed out by him, and it will splash him all over every time.
Qiao Zhi put the bowl and plate into the sink, stuffed the Qiankun Magic Mirror into his schoolbag, and then opened the door and went to school with Meng Meng. Before leaving, he did not forget to lock the door tightly with the key.
On the school bus, the students chatted and discussed continuously, and were full of fantasy about the destination this time.
The museum has always been a fascinating place. There are countless rare treasures that carry the dazzling historical and cultural heritage for thousands of years.
When I walked into the museum, all the students formed a study group to discuss and exchange learning softly.
Only Qiao Zhi and Meng Meng hid in the crowd and whispered: "I got a good baby yesterday, called Qiankun Magic Mirror. It is ten thousand times better than the things here."
Meng Meng didn't believe it and whispered to Qiao Zhi: "I don't believe it, you brag."
"This Qiankun Magic Mirror can make people bigger and smaller! It's true!" Qiao Zhi took out the Qiankun Magic Mirror from his schoolbag and handed it to Meng Meng, "Look! Is it beautiful?"
Meng Meng took it, looked at it seriously and then, and finally frowned and said, "Qiao Zhi, isn't this just a magnifying glass? But it's really beautiful."
"No, no, no, it can make me smaller. I also met Su Cheng's caravan and the one-legged immortal curator!" Qiao Zhi especially wanted to share his wonderful experience yesterday.
"Qiao Zhi, are you dreaming?" Meng Meng's little eyes were full of worry. He didn't believe George's words at all, "Where did the caravan come from? What director?"
"No, this opposite can make me smaller. If you don't believe me, try it." Qiao Zhi adjusted the Qiankun Magic Mirror to the reverse and handed it to Meng Meng.
He looked expectant, especially wanted to see Meng Meng's appearance of becoming young and surprised and nervous.
Meng Meng held the Qiankun Magic Mirror and looked at his fat face several times, but strangely, he had nothing to change.
"Qiao Zhi, you are bragging." Meng Meng said a little disappointed and returned the Universe Magic Mirror to Qiao Zhi.
"Ah? Why is this happening? Why haven't you become smaller?" Qiao Zhi was extremely surprised. His baby Qiankun Magic Mirror failed!
The voices of the two of them became louder without realizing it. A classmate gave them unhappy eyes, and the two of them quickly closed their mouths.
"The next thing I want to visit is the "Silk Road" exhibition hall." The squad leader Boya brought up a loudspeaker and stood in front of the exhibition hall.
The sound of her speaking was as nice as a thrush singing, she continued:
"This is a great road, it connects all countries that are thousands of mountains and rivers. Teams of camel caravans are moving forward on the long trade avenue, crossing the mountains and ridges, blending the technology, food and music between countries..."
Qiao Zhi listened to her explanation, for some reason, remembered Su Cheng and his caravan, and even bursts of camel bells rang in his ears.
"Can't I go and play with Su Cheng and the others anymore? Why did the magic mirror fail?" Qiao Zhi was worried that he would never see Su Cheng and Director again, and his face looked extremely ugly.
He walked into the Silk Road Exhibition Hall with a magnifying glass, and there was a vivid introduction on the wall:
New North Road travels northwest from Dunhuang, passes through Hami, Balikun Lake, Jimusar, Banquan, Huocheng, Tokmak to Talas, and Pamir to Rome.
"Hmm? Dunhuang?" Qiao Zhi was completely surprised. Wasn't the place he went to Dunhuang last night?
Gradually, his attention was attracted by the paintings all over the wall, which was a picture of a businessman who was traveling to the Western Regions. The people above were wearing merchants' clothing, carrying a small package, and a gray beard.
At the front of the team, a figure wearing a green robe looked familiar as he looked!
"Su Cheng! Director!" Qiao Zhi pointed to the scroll and couldn't help but increase the volume. He grabbed Meng Meng next to him and pointed at the person above and said anxiously: "Look, this person is Su Cheng, this is the director of the One-legged Immortal!"
The class monitor Boya walked up to them and said with a serious expression: "Please keep quiet! When visiting the museum, you must keep quiet. The teacher has said it before, have you forgotten?"
Qiao Zhi realized his problem and immediately nodded and responded: "I understand, I will definitely whisper."
"The teacher said, I'll punish you two to memorize the visit regulations. I'll watch you finish memorizing them here." The class leader Boya took out the visit regulations and said meticulously: "Let's start."
Qiao Zhi and Meng Meng recited with bitter faces: "One, don't run around in line to visit, two, don't make noise or fight, three, don't touch or take photos, four, stand outside the protection line, five, don't panic when you are separated, look for people at the service desk."
Liu Jiale, who was hiding aside to watch the fun, sneering, revealing two rabbit-like teeth. He always faced Meng Meng in the class.
He raised his hand and told the teacher gloatingly: "Teacher, Meng Meng was not serious when he recited, and he even put his hands in his pocket."
Meng Meng turned around angrily and waved his fist: "If you tell the teacher, I will make you look good!"
Qiao Zhi was in a bad mood, but Liu Jiale just looked at the failed Qiankun Magic Mirror repeatedly, and he murmured in a low voice: "Is it really broken?" He raised the magic mirror very high, so high that the entire mirror faced the three classmates behind him - Meng Meng, Boya, Liu Jiale, and of course himself.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
None of the four people reacted and were smaller!
The exhibits and furnishings around me became bigger and bigger, and in the end they were so big that they were endless!
"Ah!" The one who made a deafening sound was Liu Jiale who had just reported to the teacher. Seeing that all the exhibits around him had become bigger, he was so scared that he cried: "I want to go home! Help! I want to find my mother!"
The squad leader Boya was also very scared. She grabbed Qiao Zhi's hand and asked in panic: "Qiao Zhi, what's wrong?"
Meng Meng looked at the huge furnishings around him curiously, and ran around Qiao Zhi excitedly. He ran and said, "Qiao Zhi! You have really made me smaller!"
As he said that, he snatched the Universe Magic Mirror from Qiao Zhi's hand, looked left and right, "It's indeed a good baby! Qiao Zhi, give it to me!"
Qiao Zhi took the Qiankun Magic Mirror back and said to Meng Meng: "I understand, only I can use this Qiankun Magic Mirror. Look, I didn't brag, right? Now we are becoming as small as ants!"
The class monitor listened to their conversation and soon came back from his fear, "Qiao Zhi, please turn us back quickly. The teacher will be anxious if he can't find us."
Liu Jiale's voice was hoarse, and she sat on the ground with tears in her nose and shouted: "I want to go home!"
Meng Meng was too excited about getting smaller. He once again snatched the Qiankun Magic Mirror and said with a smile: "Qiao Zhi, come and chase me. If you chase me, return the Qiankun Magic Mirror to you!"
In the distance, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded, and all the students began to move freely, and no one noticed Qiao Zhi and others who became smaller on the ground...
"Be careful!" Just as Meng Meng ran away, Qiao Zhi threw him down and then shouted loudly: "Everyone hid it quickly! Don't be stepped on by your classmates!"
The Qiankun Magic Mirror held by Meng Meng was also thrown away, and it seemed that he could not pick it up.
I saw countless super huge shoes quickly stepping over with deafening sounds. If I don’t avoid those big feet, I will stomp them down!
Qiao Zhi hurriedly pulled Meng Meng, Meng Meng grabbed Boya, and Boya pulled Liu Jiale on the ground crying. Liu Jiale didn't react and fell back.
"Liu Jiale!" Qiao Zhi was about to be stepped on by Liu Jiale, so he hurriedly returned to Liu Jiale, pushed Liu Jiale away, then rolled on the spot, and reached a safe position. He said anxiously: "Stop crying! Run with me!"
After saying that, he grabbed Liu Jiale's hand and ran quickly. They moved around and avoided the crowd. Seeing that Boya and Meng Meng were getting farther and farther away, he shouted loudly to Meng Meng in the distance: "Don't run around, just wait for us here!"
"It's all your fault for Qiao Zhi, you're all for you!" Liu Jiale was pulled by George and shouted relentlessly.
Qiao Zhi looked at the magnifying glass that landed in the middle of the crowd, and was very upset. It would be great if he hadn't become smaller just now.
"Liu Jiale, stop crying. I will definitely bring back the Qiankun Magic Mirror and turn us back!" Qiao Zhi patted Liu Jiale on the shoulder, "Believe me."
Liu Jiale nodded with red eyes and stopped crying. He didn't expect Qiao Zhi to be so reliable when he encountered danger.
"I'll count one, two, three, let's run towards the magic mirror together. When we get the magic mirror, we will go to Boya and Meng Meng, and then become bigger together, okay?" Qiao Zhi asked at Liu Jiale.
Liu Jiale pursed his lips tightly and nodded at last.
Qiao Zhi saw the opportunity and counted: "One, two, three!"
The two people rushed into the crowd like arrows, dodging back and forth while their huge soles of their feet were about to get the Qiankun Magic Mirror, a sudden sound of "dingbang, dingbang, dingbang" came from their ears.
It's like a sound made by pressing a small bowl upside down on the ground and repeatedly knocking.
"Get out of the way! Mine! It's mine!" A muffled voice sounded, ambiguous, and it sounded very anxious.
Qiao Zhixun looked back and couldn't help but shout, "What strange thing is this!"
When the timid Liu Jiale heard this, she was so scared that her legs were weak.
I saw a "tree stump" that was half a man high, rushing towards me. This guy had no legs, just like a swaying wooden stake, but he had a nose, eyes, and a crooked mouth.
He kept shouting: "Do not! Do not go! Mine, mine!" Behind him, there was a huge blue print package on his back! He kept swinging as he jumped.
After a closer look, it was a bit funny. He quickly ran to the side of the Qiankun Magic Mirror, his crooked mouth raised up, obviously very happy, "Baby! Mine!" He said in ambiguously, bent down and wanted to pick up the Qiankun Magic Mirror!
Suddenly a green light covered them, and a protective cover was wrapped around the heads of several people!
The huge soles of the feet coming and going also avoided them as if they were cast by magic.
