Chapter 87 Four People at a Table (Part )
"Um... Xu Chu, what are you doing?"
The old principal and Mr. Nangong were waiting behind Xu Shanshan. They wanted to express their gratitude to her and then solemnly invite her to join the "Yingtian Academy" family and become a teacher of special courses.
That’s right, based on what she showed, it was so shocking and amazing.
The students only worshipped her as a master, but they were too greedy and when they saw a "good" one, they wanted to keep this treasure student in the academy forever.
After experiencing such a thrilling incident, they felt that the academy was not that safe. If there was such a master in charge, then no matter what strange and difficult things they encountered, there would be someone to solve them.
But this "expert" didn't even give them a chance to speak.
While everyone was frantically absorbing the warmth of the sunlight, she bent down and picked up Lei Feng's head, then walked to his body... and began to squat down and "mending" it.
She made a needle-threading gesture with her hands, and then, with one "needle" and one "thread", she pieced together the separated head and body of Lei Feng into a complete body.
The old headmaster and Mr. Nangong's eyes almost popped out: "..." Where did the "needle" come from, where did the "thread" come from, how did you sew it together? !
Lei Feng's mouth was wide open, with a bloody hole inside and a broken section of his tongue.
Xu Shanshan pressed his finger three inches below the throat, and the corpse moved and bounced up, with a piece of severed tongue being spat out of the throat.
With a "pop", a dark red object fell to the ground. After realizing what it was, the old headmaster and Mr. Nangong jumped back suddenly like frightened grasshoppers.
"What are you doing?"
The distorted voice was somewhat out of control and immediately attracted the attention of others.
When I looked over suddenly, I was stunned.
Is this... playing with a dead body?
Is this so heavy?!
Xu Shanshan didn't care about the blood and stench. He picked it up and stuffed it back into Lei Feng's mouth, continuing to "mend" it. Finally, he closed his mouth and his empty and bloodshot eyes.
Everyone's face was constantly changing color, switching between the look of about to vomit and the sound of inhaling with a hiss, and it was unclear which one to express first.
But I don’t know if it was their illusion, but after "Xu Chu"’s treatment, Lei Feng’s body did not look as horrible and miserable as before, but turned into a peaceful and harmonious death.
"Wipe it."
One step faster than Mo Han, Gu Yuejiarong had already taken out a soft, scented handkerchief and handed it to Xu Shanshan.
As soon as she finished her work, she looked along the handkerchief embroidered with green silk ribbons, and saw Gu Yuejiarong looking at her with clear eyes and a smile, just like a virtuous wife who was always on standby to give appropriate responses when she needed them.
She took it, stood up and wiped the blood off her hands, and answered the questions asked by the headmaster and others.
"The evil spirits in this place have not yet completely dissipated. You must put Lei Feng's body into the coffin as soon as possible and bury him. But remember two important things. First, the coffin needs 108 iron nails to hold it in place. Second, it must be buried vertically in the east direction of the academy. At the same time, five items of the five elements must be buried with him."
When the old headmaster heard this, his expression immediately became serious: "Five items of the five elements? Which five items are they?"
Xu Shanshan thought for a moment and then mentioned some objects that they could easily obtain: "Extinguished candles, gold utensils, clay dolls, black crystal stones, and a piece of peach wood."
"Okay, we'll take note and do it right away."
The headmaster quickly handed down the matter, and the hall master of the academy immediately went to handle it, while the dormitory head, lecturers, and teachers were responsible for arranging the students.
Now that the matter has been properly handled by "Xu Chu", they should calm down and put the chaotic situation in order.
As soon as the headmaster turned around, he saw Xu Shanshan and her relatives and friends getting ready to leave, so he quickly chased after them: "Hey, Xu Xiaoyou, where are you going?"
My goodness, calling him by his name is too distant, so just call him "young friend" directly. When it comes to building relationships, the old mountain chief is definitely the smartest one.
In terms of seniority, Xu Shanshan is definitely much higher than the old headmaster, but she is no longer a grand master, but sixteen-year-old Xu Shanshan. She follows secular etiquette and treats him as a student.
"Shanzhang, I originally came to Yingtian Academy to study under a pseudonym, just to avoid the limelight temporarily, and I have calculated that today is the time for me to leave."
What?
Does she have to do some calculations before making any decision?
The headmaster tried his best to persuade him to stay: "...You are leaving now? Why don't you stay for a while? Anyway, the head of the Wei family hasn't come to pick you up yet. Since you are trying to avoid disaster, there is no need to be so anxious."
At the beginning, Xu Shanshan and his companions entered Yingtian Academy through the dean's back door. He naturally knew that Xu Shanshan had a relationship with the head of the Wei family, but he didn't know what the relationship was.
Unexpectedly, Xu Shanshan said, "He's already here."
The headmaster was startled.
coming?
"Yes, I'm here to pick up my people."
The man's deep and magnetic voice sounded. His voice contained a fascinating power that could penetrate the soul and make people unconsciously attracted to it.
A gust of wind blew through the hall, and the gate of the academy was seen opening. A group of people were moving swiftly and neatly in front of them.
At the front, a man in a black robe was walking towards this direction. Each of his steps was steady and powerful, and wherever he went, the air seemed to stagnate.
His facial features are tough yet delicate, impeccable, with broad shoulders and a tall, upright figure, like an unshakable mountain.
"Master Wei?"
The headmaster's eyes widened in surprise, then they lit up, he straightened his clothes, and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
As for the teachers and students of the academy, some had already gone to deal with Lei Feng's body, while the others who did not leave were staring at Wei Canghao in a daze, swallowing nervously.
The head of Wei?
Is it the sea overlord Wei Canghao?
They stood frozen in the back, and out of respect and awe, they hurriedly saluted, but in their hearts they were screaming like groundhogs - Ah, Master Wei, who is busy with all kinds of affairs, why would he suddenly condescend to come to Yingtian Academy?
"Why did you come suddenly?"
The headmaster walked forward enthusiastically and greeted Wei Canghao. Are you kidding? The Wei family sponsors so much silver to their Yingtian Academy every year. Now that the God of Wealth has come, how can they not treat him as a VIP?
Wei Canghao must have just returned from the sea, with a fishy and cold smell of sea breeze on his body. He first clasped his fists and saluted to the headmaster, then turned to look at Xu Shanshan: "Thank you for your help, headmaster. I will ask someone to present the thank-you gift later. Now I should take the person away."
When the headmaster heard that Wei Canghao was here to pick someone up, his heart sank. This chill was much sadder than hearing that he was withdrawing his investment: "...Do you have to pick me up? Actually, our academy is not that difficult to stay in, right?"
Wei Canghao looked at the dean in surprise. He had accepted them into Yingtian Academy with reluctance in the beginning, so why did he seem so reluctant to let them go now?
He glanced at Xu Shanshan calmly. What happened?
Xu Shanshan's eyes were like black jade, deep and unfathomable. No emotion or depth could be seen in his eyes. However, his once superficial face now had a unique sense of elegance and elegance when he was dressed in men's clothes, like a beautiful young man as green as pine trees.
Gu Yue Jia Rong saw Wei Canghao suddenly appear, and he actually came to pick up Xu Shanshan. He slightly frowned and stepped forward and said, "Canghao." "Jia Rong?" When Wei Canghao saw him, he was surprised for a moment, and then asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?"
The relationship between the two was not very close. One was a master at sea, and the other was a shining star in the education field. They did not have much contact, but because their fathers were old friends, they often ran into each other, so they were considered to be familiar with each other.
Gu Yue Jiarong said in a gentle voice: "Bai Luzhou Academy and Yingtian Academy recently held a literary meeting. I came here to teach students for a month. Xu Shanshan is my student now. I agreed to take charge of her courses for a month."
Wei Canghao's eyes dimmed when he heard this. After looking at him for a while, he said slowly, "I'm afraid she can't stay in Yingtian Academy. She has many things that are far more important than studying."
Although Gu Yuejia Rong was gentle as jade, he was unwilling to give in. He said calmly, "Maybe, but I will definitely do what I promised. Cang Hao, you should know my temper."
"Why don't you ask her in person? Does she want to go with me, or stay with you?"
"it is good."
Wei Canghao saw that Gu Yuejiarong did not hesitate, as if he was sure that Xu Shanshan would side with him, and he suddenly felt depressed.
What exactly is going on between her and Gu Yuejiarong?
Didn’t Jiarong hate and reject him before?
But he just said "Xu Shanshan", right? Since he recognized her, why did he keep pestering her and insist on keeping her to "study"?
I'm afraid that the drunkard's intention is not to stay in the bar, could it be that he...
The two of them looked in the direction of Xu Shanshan almost at the same time.
"Are you going to leave or stay?"
A look as sharp as a sword, going straight to the heart.
A look is like the deep sea, vast and calm, but also hiding the oppressive force of turbulent winds and clouds.
Xu Shanshan didn't react much, but Xu Shanshan felt a huge pulling force, and a heavy pressure arose spontaneously, making her dare not stay next to Xu Shanshan anymore.
It is true that it is the eunuchs who are anxious even though the emperor is not. When the two giants met, sparks flew and their aura was simply shocking.
But I just don’t know, between the two fiancés of my second sister, one is domineering and muscular, and the other is fair and handsome, which one will she prefer?
Before Xu Shanshan could give them an answer, an anxious and angry voice sounded behind her -
"Xu Shanshan!"
Xu Shanshan turned her head and saw Jiang Chidong, like a whirlwind cheetah, coming towards her swiftly and agilely.
His cloak was flying, and he rushed forward with vigorous and powerful steps, like a ball of burning fire.
Wei Canghao's men were startled, and immediately stretched out their hands to stop him as a suspicious person. However, they were no match for Chi Jiangdong. He swung the bamboo hat in his hand and knocked all the people away at such a fast speed that it was hard to keep up.
Finally, he arrived in front of Xu Shanshan without any obstruction, with the heat blowing in his face, gasping for breath, and his face flushed, like a red rose blooming under the scorching sun, bright and dazzling.
"Xu, Shan, Shan, I finally caught you!"
Behind him was Jiashan, who looked calm and easy-going.
The simple and pure white monk's robe, coupled with a unique face, makes Jiashan's temperament extraordinary and otherworldly. He just walked over, giving people the feeling that in this complicated world, he is like a leisurely blooming green lotus, exuding the elegant fragrance of the high mountains.
"Donor Xu, long time no see."
Xu Shanshan: “…”
The hexagram said that the man she was engaged to would come to pick her up today, but it didn't say that four fiancés would show up at once.
"Chi Jiangdong, Jiashan?" Now it was Gu Yuejiarong's turn to be surprised.
How come they suddenly appeared here?
Xu Shanshan looked at the two new men who appeared... No, one of them exuded endless enthusiasm and vitality, with eyes as bright as stars. Rather than calling him a man, it would be more appropriate to call him a beautiful boy.
Another person said that the man was not suitable because he was a beautiful monk.
But they were both so outstanding.
It is the kind of person who, even if he or she does not try to attract attention, others will be attracted by his or her unique temperament and cannot be ignored.
"Who are they?" she asked in a low voice.
Xu Shanshan: "The other two fiancés."
Xu Shanshan's eyes widened, her heart trembling violently.
"F-fiancé?"
Yes, didn't my second sister say that? She said she had five fiancés, but... she didn't say they were all so beautiful and charming. Second sister, you eat too well.
No, why is there a monk here? !
Xu Shanshan looked at Jiashan in doubt and uncertainty. On the one hand, she silently kept repeating “sin, sin” in her heart, but on the other hand, she inevitably had many evil guesses.
Wei Canghao was also startled when he saw Chi Jiangdong and Master Jiashan appear here.
Then he saw Chi Jiangdong ignoring everything else and only focused on looking for Xu Shanshan, and Jiashan also greeted Xu Shanshan as soon as possible. This obviously showed that they were not only familiar with each other, but also that they appeared here, most likely for her.
It has been half a year since the four of them last met. At that time, the five of them agreed to go to "Quexie Mountain" to break off the engagement with Xu Shanshan, but they did not expect that they would reunite again, but it was still because of Xu Shanshan.
But the situation this time seemed so different.
"You actually ran away like this! Why did you run away?" The handsome and extraordinary young man gritted his teeth and made a clattering sound.
Jiang Chidong was furious when he thought about how she first deceived his innocent boyish heart, then trampled on him in various ways, and finally abandoned him and took away the token of their future daughter-in-law in the Jiang family.
Jiashan was not as reckless and focused as Jiang Chidong. The only thing in his mind was to "settle accounts" with Xu Shanshan.
When he came in, in addition to confirming that Xu Shanshan was there, he also saw Wei Canghao and Gu Yuejiarong.
Of course, when he first saw them with Xu Shanshan, he was also confused and speculative.
"Donor Wei, Donor Gu Yue, how are you doing recently?"
Jiashan Heshi greeted the two of them. He always exuded a calmness and a calmness, even when faced with such an inexplicable and strange situation as the current one.
