The pumpkin carriage creaked to a halt in the clearing before the gate.
The white big mice glanced ahead, then behind, hesitating whether to dig a hole and bury themselves in it.
Ding Dong jumped off the pumpkin carriage, and upon seeing Zheng Qing, immediately raised three fingers of his right hand, swearing with a tearful face: "—I didn't know they would run this far! They only told me to watch over these big mice... I'm just a driver, I know nothing! I haven't even finished my Magic Potion homework yet!"
Just hearing the last sentence could make one mistake him for a student of Jiuyou Academy.
"Ding Dong?" Zheng Qing somewhat uncertainly asked.
"It's me..." the Mouse People replied honestly.
Zheng Qing sighed — if the driver was the boldly daring Ding Dang, he might have been implicated in tonight's matter. But Ding Dong? This timid muddle-head definitely doesn't have the courage to venture into the Silent Forest in the dead of night.
