Chapter 69: Supernatural Events (Part )
"Xu Chu, save me, cough cough..."
Wei Qiyao, who had just escaped death, jumped into Xu Shanshan's arms like a spring. He was eight feet tall, but he was so aggrieved that he cried like a 160-pound child.
After Xu Shanshan beat Lei Feng back, he threw away the willow branch, supported Wei Qiyao's shoulders with one hand, and stroked his waist with the other hand...
Men all know that a man's waist is considered one of their most important parts, and also the softest and most affectionate part. Once it is touched gently and delicately——
Wei Qiyao shuddered, but it was not numbness or tingling, but a piercing pain spreading from that patch of skin.
hiss!
What the hell!
"Don't move, if you don't want to be useless."
Xu Shanshan's voice was calm and serious, suppressing him so much that he tensed his body and dared not even breathe loudly.
"I, what's wrong with me?"
Her force wasn't strong, but why did he feel so much pain?
Ah, he remembered.
It seemed that the man surnamed Lei had poked this part of his waist with a needle, but he didn't feel anything at the time, so he didn't take it to heart.
But this position was surprisingly uncomfortable. He wrapped his arms around Xu Shanshan's thin shoulders, his facial features twisted in pain, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Xu Shanshan glanced at the group of people watching the fun around him and inadvertently met Gu Yuejiarong's gaze. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes, which were as blue as autumn water and mountains, were misty and deep this time, as if there were many inhumane thoughts hidden in them.
She smiled at him, politely and casually, and while he was slightly stunned, she turned her eyes away.
"We'll talk about it later."
"Mr. Lei, what's wrong with you?"
Lei Feng is a specially appointed teacher of Yingtian Academy, and he lectures on scriptures, literature and poetry at irregular intervals.
A few days ago, Yingtian Academy planned to renovate the old academy and re-edit four books. He was selected to clarify the classics and regulations. He has been staying indoors all the time. Occasionally when he comes out, he looks extremely thin and drained of all his energy.
His temper also became irritable and impatient. In the past, when he met students from the academy, he would always respond with a smile. If they encountered academic problems and asked for advice, he would always help them solve their puzzles.
Therefore, he is loved and praised by many students.
Seeing him killing someone just now, they were really scared.
But when they saw him being whipped back by Xu Chu, with his pitiful look of fear and dread, they softened their hearts, let down their guard, rushed forward, supported him, and comforted him with concern.
Lei Feng stared at Xu Shanshan in doubt and uncertainty, feeling that the place where he had been whipped by the willow branch was hot and painful, like a burning sensation.
And... that student had a very scary, very scary aura that he couldn't describe accurately. In short, he was very wary of that person's existence.
No, no one can get near his house! He has to guard it!
He pushed away the student who was supporting him, turned around, and stumbled out.
"thunder--"
The students in the academy who knew Lei Feng found his behavior very strange and did not understand what was going on with him.
Sometimes he was mad and furious and wanted to kill someone, and sometimes he ran away in fear.
...Could it be that Mr. Lei has gone crazy studying the Four Books?
Wei Qiyao saw Lei Feng running away in panic, his eyes rolled, and he said angrily: "He, he is simply a lunatic. I just passed by his residence and took a look inside, and he tied me up and wanted to kill me. This Lei Feng is actually a teacher. He is unworthy of being a teacher. I will go to the headmaster to sue him!"
The one who complained first was Wei Qiyao. He took advantage of the fact that Lei Feng was not at the scene and no one knew the whole story. He not only pushed all the faults onto Lei Feng, but also cried out for injustice with the attitude of a victim.
Xu Shanshan naturally knew what was going on. She cooperated with Wei Qiyao and said, "This is simply insane. Look how badly you've been injured. You can't even stand steadily. I'll take you to see a doctor now."
Gu Yuejiarong came back to his senses and hurried forward and asked, "Is he seriously injured? I'll ask someone to carry him to the clinic."
Xu Shanshan was only as tall as Wei Qiyao's shoulders, so there was no way she could support him. Gu Yuejiarong was worried that he would crush her, so she made this suggestion.
"No need, it's fine." Xu Shanshan shook her head.
Gu Yue Jiarong reached out and grabbed one of her arms: "Xu Chu, I will arrange for someone to take this injured student to get treatment. You have to go with me to the Wen Dao Association today."
Xu Shanshan met his insistent eyes, then looked at Wei Qiyao, thought for a moment, and said, "Then I'll talk to him alone for a few more words."
Releasing his hand, Gu Yue Jiarong said, "Okay."
"Alright, everything is fine. Let's disperse quickly. The Wendao Conference is about to begin. It's a rare opportunity for everyone to have a lecture, and there will be a famous teacher from Bailuzhou Academy coming. Let's hurry and grab a seat."
Gong Guoan's shout diverted the attention of all the students in the academy.
"Yes, hurry up and grab a seat. We definitely can't reach the good seats inside, but we can always hear some wise words in the corners."
"Hurry up and go."
After everyone dispersed, Gu Yue Jiarong led a group of teachers and students from Bailuzhou Academy to wait there. They were quite eye-catching, but even though they were pressed for time, they still didn't set out, because Gu Yue Jiarong had to wait for his student.
Xu Shanshan helped Wei Qiyao to a deserted place and then let him go. Unexpectedly, Wei Qiyao cried out "Ouch" and rushed over again.
"I am your elder brother's fiancée." Xu Shanshan said coldly.
Wei Qiyao was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He quickly turned around and almost lost control and fell, but finally stopped.
"I, I know."
He was furious and his ears turned red as he roared.
Seeing that he had finally calmed down, Xu Shanshan asked, "How did you get hit by the black ice needle?"
"What is that thing called ice needle?"
"A curse tool that will dissolve as soon as it is inserted into the needle. It lurks in the body. You have been cursed with rotten bones. It will unconsciously corrode and dissolve your bones bit by bit in your body. In the end, you will turn into a pool of meat paste..."
"Stop talking!" Wei Qiyao interrupted hastily. He finally knew what the needle was: "Then can I still be saved?"
"I have lifted the curse for you." Xu Shanshan said.
Wei Qiyao's eyes widened, and after a while he reacted, he asked in surprise: "You touched me just now, just to remove the curse?"
"What else?" She glanced at him with a half-smile.
Wei Qiyao: “…” He, he has very upright thoughts, he doesn’t have any crazy thoughts.
"Tell me what happened to you."
Speaking of this, Wei Qiyao swallowed subconsciously. He lowered his voice, approached Xu Shanshan and said, "It's that Lei Feng. He is simply a pervert. I wanted to sneak into his room and tie him up, but he hung a lot of bells in his room. I touched them as soon as I entered, and alarmed him..."
Wei Qiyao was startled and quickly held the bell still, but when he moved, he hit another bell. While he was in a panic, he caught a glimpse of Feng Lei who appeared in the dark corner at some point, staring at him with a pair of big blood-red eyes, without making a sound.
He gasped and took a step back, but something tied his feet tightly and tripped him, causing him to fall.
As soon as he stood up with his arms propped up, Lei Feng poked him in the waist with something like a needle.
Then Feng Lei, like a lunatic, took a stick and started ringing all the bells in the room. The sound was dense and loud, especially harsh and brain-shaking. He finally couldn't bear it and fainted.
When he woke up again, he had already left the room. He was tied up and dragged out by Lei Feng, and Xu Shanshan already knew what happened afterwards.
"Bells? As you said, if all the bells in the room rang at the same time, it should have been quite noisy, but why didn't anyone notice it?" "Really, it was very loud and noisy. The sound kept drilling into my ears and made my head almost explode."
When he thinks of that fresh stimulation, he still feels uncomfortable in his ears.
Xu Shanshan did not argue with him: "Besides the bell, what else is there in that room?"
"Yes, I do, but I'm afraid if I tell you, it will scare you." He said mysteriously.
"You can try it."
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Wei Qiyao stared into her eyes with a weird and disgusting expression and said, "And...tongues, human tongues, lots and lots."
Xu Shanshan was not frightened. She just asked thoughtfully, "Human tongue?"
"Yes! It's like a long tongue was pulled out and cut off, and then hung one by one under the beams. It's so disgusting." He touched his arm where goose bumps appeared.
After Xu Shanshan summarized all the information he revealed, he finally figured it out.
"Bells, tongues, ropes, and black ice needles... I thought this style looked familiar. It turned out that someone from Chiyou Palace came to Longdong."
"What Chiyou Palace?" Wei Qiyao asked in confusion.
"Don't worry about what happens next. I'll take care of it. Although the curse on you has been lifted, you will lose strength in the next few days. Go back and lie down."
Seeing Xu Shanshan was about to leave, Wei Qiyao quickly stopped her: "Wait."
She looked at him.
Wei Qiyao clenched his fists, lowered his eyes, and said awkwardly like a green tea boy: "You and my elder brother, will you get married? He, he has always disliked you and even said that he would not marry you..."
Xu Shanshan raised an eyebrow: "Really?"
"Really? He said that you are not worthy of being the mistress of the Wei family. He has a confidante by his side. If you really marry my eldest brother, it will be a forced marriage. He will definitely keep a concubine and give you a bastard to raise. You will be an unfaithful husband."
He was serious in his alarmist remarks.
"We will never know what will happen in the future. Besides... as long as he doesn't favor a concubine over his wife, and doesn't distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children, then he doesn't have to remain a virgin for me."
After all, her future would not be confined to such a small place as the mansion, so it would have nothing to do with her no matter how much he played around.
Wei Qiyao was stunned: "..." Is she so generous? She can turn a blind eye to such a serious matter?
-
Xu Shanshan returned to Gu Yuejiarong, and they set off.
Gong Anguo looked at Xu Shanshan curiously. He joked, "This is the nominal student you accepted at Yingtian Academy. He looks quite... upright and has the demeanor of a saint."
This is true. Gong Anguo is very good at judging people. The young man in front of him has an extraordinary bearing and a unique kind of peace and steadiness, which is not the maturity that she should have at her age.
Not only him, other teachers and students of Bailuzhou Academy are also interested in "Xu Chu".
Gu Yuejia Rong paused and said to Gong Anguo: "Anguo, take your people to the Wendao Conference to make arrangements first. Xu Chu and I will come later."
Does this mean you want to leave the team and act alone?
When Gong Anguo saw Gu Yuejiarong's serious expression, he knew that he might have something to talk to "Xu Chu".
"Okay, let's go first, and don't waste too much time, come here quickly."
After giving instructions, Gong Anguo and others went to the Wendao Association first.
When Gu Yuejia and Xu Shanshan met, she hesitated for a while before asking her, "Xu Chu, did you go to my room last night?"
She answered quickly: "Yes."
Gu Yuejia's face froze.
"Didn't the master specially leave you as a disciple to teach me? Did you forget?" Xu Chuchu asked doubtfully.
Gu Yuejiarong breathed a sigh of relief: "It wasn't at that time, it was after you left...did you go back again?"
"Of course there is none."
Gu Yuejiarong was stunned for a moment and remained silent for a long time.
He looked into her eyes again, a little absent-minded: "Do I smell something?"
Xu Shanshan followed suit and took a sniff: "Sir, did you light mosquito repellent incense last night?"
Gu Yuejia Rong said: "No..."
He suddenly remembered that when he woke up in the morning, he had a vague impression that there seemed to be wisps of smoke drifting from the incense burner in the room. His heart was pounding, and he quickly raised his arm to sniff his sleeve, and sure enough, it was stained with a strong and refreshing scent of incense.
His pupils trembled and his Adam's apple moved: "...You didn't light the incense for me last night, right?"
"Did something happen?" Xu Shanshan's eyes showed a bit of pity. She lowered her voice and coaxed, "Sir, why don't you tell me? I may be able to help you solve your problem."
However, Gu Yuejia Rong was also stubborn. He took a deep breath and half-closed his eyelashes: "Nothing, let's go, don't be late."
Xu Shanshan followed behind him, a strange light flashing in his dark eyes.
He is trying very hard to be tough, but after tonight, I am afraid he will not be able to deceive himself anymore.
-
The lecture of Wen Dao Hui was very successful, and the students of Yingtian Academy who were listening to the lecture all applauded. Although Gu Yue Jiarong was not in good shape, his professional level was very high, and there were no mistakes or omissions.
When it was other lecturers' turn to teach, he looked at "Xu Chu" who was listening attentively below, and his mind couldn't help but recall what happened last night.
It clearly looks like "him", but it is not "him". What is going on?
It was night again. Gu Yuejiarong opened the windows and doors, lit the lights, and waited there quietly.
He wanted to know whether what happened in the past few nights was real or imaginary. Escape would not solve any problems, he had to find out the truth.
Time passed slowly, Gu Yuejiarong tried hard to keep a clear mind and concentrate, but there were some things that were beyond his control, and his vision seemed to become distorted.
The wind rustled the leaves, dark clouds blocked the moon, and the scene was covered with a faint shadow.
Puff—the lights went out.
The stars and the moon were also annihilated.
Gu Yuejiarong's body entered a state of high alert, and countless possible dangerous scenarios flashed through his mind.
"Sir, are you waiting for me?"
His muscles tensed unconsciously.
"Who are you anyway?"
"Who am I? Sir, are you curious about me and want to take a look at me?" The black shadow seemed to be laughing: "If Sir really wants to know, I will let you take a look. As long as Sir... come closer and don't resist me."
