Chapter 68: The consequences of climbing on the roof

Views:

Mr. Morsant didn't give Claude a good look in the next week. Even if Claude said good morning to him in a low voice every morning, he would only respond with a cold snort. Especially after the White Deer Morning News reported that Claude complained that the attic was too stuffy and wanted to climb to the roof to sleep, but was misunderstood by the night patrol as stealing, as a local anecdote, Mr. Molsang became even more unhappy.

Although Bailu Morning News did not name anyone by name, but used a pseudonym like Mr. A to report, everyone who knew about it knew exactly who he was talking about. Mr. Morsan was unhappy, partly because the White Deer Morning News reported it, letting everyone know that his son had made a joke. Even though this is a trivial anecdote, Mr. Molsang still feels embarrassed when colleagues and friends tease him every day: Your son didn't go to the roof to sleep last night.

On the other hand, Claude, the second son, was too worried for his father, and he was too courageous. How could he think of climbing to the roof to sleep? You know it is the top of a fourth floor, ten meters above the ground. It's three to four meters high, and the roof is still sloped. If you're not careful, it will fall down. It's really dangerous.

From this point of view, Mr. Morsan is still sincerely grateful to the night patrol for discovering this situation that day. If they hadn't discovered it early, it would have been too late by the time Claude actually rolled off the roof. The anecdote turned into a tragedy. Compared with the two, Mr. Morsan would rather choose the anecdote than the tragedy. It's better to be laughed at than to lose a relative. No matter what, he is a qualified father, a father who cares about his children.

For this reason, Mr. Molsang also specially set aside a lunch time to entertain the captain of the night patrol that night and the patrol member who found Claude on the roof at the old tavern, and sincerely expressed his gratitude to them. This incident won him praise from many diners in the old tavern. Everyone thought that Mr. Morsan was really a gentleman and grateful.

As for the White Deer Morning News, Mr. Morsan held a joint meeting after he returned to the town hall. The theme was to severely crack down on tax evasion within the business scope and rectify environmental health and safety issues in the town. As a result, the entire Bailu Town workshops and venues went through a strict inspection storm. Any slightest mistake would be a fine and a deadline for rectification.

The newspaper office of Bailu Morning News was naturally the top priority in this major inspection. In the end, a lot of problems were found. Thirteen fines were issued in terms of hygiene alone. The editor-in-chief of the newspaper was so distressed by the fine. In the end, first a shareholder visited Mr. Morsan at his home with a gift to ask for a favor, and then National Congressman Sir Fox came forward to negotiate an agreement. Only then did Mr. Morsan nod and let the White Deer Morning News go.

Claude's life was not easy either. First he was strictly prohibited from going to the roof by his father, and then he was ridiculed by his friends and classmates for more than a week at school. Especially Claude was nicknamed Claude on the Roof. People who heard this nickname for the first time thought that Claude was a chimney worker.

Claude didn't care what others called him, but Erikson and Viriclo had already beaten up several classmates who secretly called Claude by his nickname. Usually the four of them are not very gregarious in school, and those classmates are still a little afraid of the four of them being domineering. Even though Claude paid more attention and restrained his arrogant temper after time travel, he was still one of the dominant figures in the school. It's rare to make a joke, but why won't it be widely publicized by those jealous classmates

Claude's headache now is another thing. His father is angry, but Claude can still feel Mr. Morsan's love for his son. After being forbidden by his father to climb to the roof again, Claude discovered that the Hexagram Meditation Technique, which he could usually practice six times a night, could only be practiced three times in the attic. If he practiced it more than three times, he would feel mentally weak, his head would feel dizzy, and his temples would start to feel faint. Feeling of swelling and pain. No wonder Master Landers said in his diary that when you first start practicing, you should pay attention to the number of times you meditate and not exhaust your mental energy.

But in this case, Claude felt strange. Hasn't a magician discovered that meditating under the moonlight can get twice the result with half the effort in thousands of years? Mental strength, and the spirit is also very uplifting, just like eating
