Chapter 401: The True Truth

"Teacher Dai you are talking about, that is a very good teacher I have ever seen, if it weren't for that fire......"

In the principal's office of Cai Gongzhuang Middle School, the principal in his fifties looked embarrassed and regretful after hearing Su Chen's intentions.

"At that time, four students were trapped in the dormitory, and Mr. Dai rushed into the dormitory regardless of his own life, and when he rescued the last student, he himself was thrown down by a stone and could not escape. ”

Listening to the old principal's words, Su Chen glanced at Zhang Jun and the others, and continued to ask, "Principal, do you know the names of those four students?"

"I can't remember the names of the four students, but there are records in the archives at the time, so I'll look for them. ”

The old headmaster walked to the bookshelf behind him, opened a drawer from there, rummaged through it for a while, and took out a document.

I found it, and the names of the four students at that time were Zhang Jun, Li Hao, Li Qin, and Liu Zixuan. ”

Hearing the old principal pronounce these four words, Zhang Jun and the four people who followed in only felt trembling, and Qin Yanxi and Zhang Meng had goosebumps on their bodies.

This reversal was too unexpected for them.

The teacher Dai, who was extremely vicious in the hearts of Zhang Jun and the others, turned out to be the teacher who rescued them from the fire.

"Headmaster, I have one more question to ask, how did this fire come about?"

Su Chen looked at the principal, the biggest doubt in his heart now was this, as long as he solved this puzzle, then he would be able to deduce everything.

"The fire was later caused by cigarette butts burning the bed, and according to later surveillance, the dormitory was Mr. Dai's dormitory. ”

The old principal's expression was a little complicated, and Qin Yanxi and the others were stunned because of the old principal's words.

The fire was actually caused by Teacher Dai.

It is precisely for this reason that although Mr. Dai saved four students, there was not much coverage of Mr. Dai's deeds, and at the beginning, those reporters reported on the media, and when the results of the accident investigation came out, they stopped mentioning Mr. Dai. ”

Su Chen understood what the old principal meant, the news he had searched for on the Internet earlier was reported the day after the fire, when people thought that Teacher Dai was a hero who saved four students with his own life.

But when I knew that Mr. Dai caused the fire, then this hero naturally did not exist, but it was more like atonement.

"Thank you Principal for informing me, I won't bother Principal. ”

Su Chen left the principal's office with a few people, the reason why he was able to come to the principal's office and let the principal answer his questions was because he found the head of the branch of the Dao Alliance here.

"Teacher Dai has been dead for five years, is the truth of the year so important?"

After Su Chen left the office, the old principal took out a photo from the drawer, this photo was already a little yellowed, the photo was a young man with glasses and a plaid shirt, and the background behind him was the playground of Cai Gongzhuang Old Middle School, and the red flag on the playground was fluttering in the wind not far behind the man.

"That's the end of this matter, you shouldn't have nightmares in the future. ”

Walking out of the school, Su Chen watched Zhang Jun and the four of them slowly speak, and after listening to Su Chen's words, Zhang Jun and the four of them not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but frowned one by one.

"Great God Su, I don't think the truth is so simple, do you have something to hide from us. ”

Zhang Jun was the first to speak, he always felt that things would not be so simple, a teacher who was so vicious to them would die in the fire in order to save them, he didn't believe in this truth.

"Great God Su, you can tell us the truth, even if the truth is cruel. ”

Liu Zixuan also looked at Su Chen with a pleading face, Su Chen saw the demeanor of these four people, and replied after half a sound: "If you really want to know the truth, then go back to the old campus, but you may not be able to accept this truth." ”

Sometimes, knowing the truth is not a good thing, at least in Su Chen's opinion, Zhang Jun and the four of them know that the current "truth" is the best ending, and I think this truth is also what the one is willing to see.

Zhang Jun and the four of them made up their minds to know the truth, and Su Chen and his party drove back to the gate of the old campus again.

"You four go in, we'll be waiting for you outside the school gate. ”

Su Chen didn't plan to go in, because if he, Qin Yanxi and Zhang Meng followed in, I was afraid that Zhang Jun and the four would not know the truth, because of this truth, he should not be willing to let outsiders know.

"Great God Su, what is the truth, why can't we go in?"

Looking at Zhang Jun and the four people who walked into the campus, Zhang Meng was puzzled.

"Liu Zixuan's parents are divorced, and she will definitely be troubled by her stepmother at home, usually she is asked to do a lot of housework, if she doesn't do it well, she will probably be scolded by her stepmother, and in Liu Zixuan's memory, that Teacher Dai has been forcing her to do housework, don't you think it's a little strange?"

Su Chen asked Zhang Meng rhetorically, Zhang Meng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "I understand, then Teacher Dai is deliberate, Teacher Dai wants to cultivate Zixuan's ability to do housework, so that Zixuan's stepmother will not find a reason to make things difficult for Zixuan." ”

"In addition, Li Hao's physical fitness is relatively poor, and Teacher Dai's corporal punishment of this [man] is actually to make Li Hao's body slowly improve, and it is to strengthen Li Hao's physical exercise. ”

Drawing inferences, Zhang Meng also deduced Li Hao's, but she still had some doubts, Liu Zixuan and Li Hao could understand, but how did Li Qin and Zhang Jun explain it?

Li Qin was bullied, while Zhang Jun was forced to be a bad student.

"Wait for them to come out, and if they are willing to tell you, you will know the truth. ”

Su Chen didn't have too many answers, but an hour later, the figures of Zhang Jun and the four appeared at the school gate, different from the solemnity before entering, after coming out, the four of them looked tired, and their eyes were red.

"Zhang Jun, do you know the truth?"

"I know, we know the truth, but we misunderstood Teacher Dai. ”

In the face of Zhang Meng's inquiry, Zhang Jun nodded, saw Zhang Meng's curious gaze, and did not hide it and said truthfully: "Actually, I am not a bad student, I was very timid at that time, and I was often bullied by some bad students in the school. ”

"Earlier on campus, didn't I kill Teacher Dai, this is a brave plan arranged for me by Teacher Dai, and the moment I picked up the knife, I had the courage to resist violence. ”

"I am in a similar situation to Zhang Jun, because I have always thought that I can't let my parents down, I care about my parents very much, I don't care if I'm happy or not, I study hard to get good grades just for my parents, so Mr. Dai hopes that I can come out of this mentality, study for myself, and live for myself. ”

Li Qin also spoke, "If I don't dare to resist Teacher Dai, it means that I don't dare to take this step, I'd rather bear the humiliation myself than make my parents happy, and the moment I pick up the knife to resist, it proves that I chose myself, which is what Teacher Dai wants to see." ”

Zhang Jun and Li Qin's narration solved the confusion in Zhang Meng's heart.

The experience in school, to put it bluntly, is the memory imposed on Zhang Jun and Li Qin by Teacher Dai, Zhang Jun is timid and afraid of being bullied all the time, and Teacher Dai has turned himself into the teacher who bullied Zhang Jun, which is used to exercise Zhang Jun's courage, and when Zhang Jun begins to resist, it means that Zhang Jun has gained courage and courage.

As for Li Qin, because of her family, everything Li Qin did was just to satisfy her parents, in order to satisfy her parents, to learn the piano she didn't like at all, and to study hard in various Olympiad classes, she didn't have her own hobbies at all.

Even in order to satisfy her parents, she was willing to let Teacher Dai bully her, and when she decided to resist, it meant that she had come out of the past, and was finally willing to step out of everything arranged by her parents and live for herself.

That's what Teacher Dai intended.

Defeating Teacher Dai means overcoming the fear in your heart!

"Great God, that is to say, Zhang Jun will have nightmares, it was deliberately made by Teacher Dai's ghost, the purpose is to let them go back to school, and then overcome fear in school, then this Teacher Dai is really great. ”

Qin Yanxi's eyes were moved, Teacher Dai, as the teacher of Zhang Jun and the four, not only protected Zhang Jun and the four with his own life before his death, but also relieved Zhang Jun and them after his death, and arranged such a play, just so that Zhang Jun and the four could become truly strong.

"Teacher Dai is a good teacher, and only a good teacher like him can attract the existence in the ghost domain to come. ”

Su Chen glanced at the campus, at this moment, the yin qi in the campus was decreasing, this was a sign of the disappearance of the ghost domain, although Teacher Dai was a ghost, he was not the owner of the ghost domain, and the owner of the ghost domain would appear here because of Teacher Dai.

A teacher who pays the price of his life for his students, a teacher who still cares about his students after death, such a teacher has his own aura of teacher morality, and this teacher virtue is an incomparably precious treasure for the existence of this level of ghost general.

The ghost general of the ghost domain came because of this, and now that Mr. Dai's wish has been completed, the transaction with the ghost general of the ghost domain should also be over, and the ghost general has got what he wants, so he will naturally leave.

"Su Chen, I just seemed to see the figure of a woman in red flashing by. ”

Qin Yanxi suddenly spoke towards Su Chen, and Su Chen nodded, because he had also seen it just now, at the moment when the ghost domain completely disappeared, a red-clothed figure appeared on the rooftop of the campus, but it was only for a moment.

Thinking about it, it was a ghost general, and to Su Chen's surprise, this ghost general turned out to be a woman.

The matter of Zhang Jun and the four of them was completely solved, Su Chen and Qin Yanxi did not stay, and left that day, but Zhang Meng stayed, after all, Zhang Jun and the four of them were her classmates, and the mood of the four of them was a little low, and she had to take care of them on the side.

"God, I still have a mystery that I haven't solved. ”

Qin Yanxi looked at Su Chen and asked the doubts she hadn't asked because of some scruples.

Who actually started that fire?

"Remember the news report, in addition to Mr. Dai's death, several other students were also burned to death, and according to the notice, the iron door of the dormitory will not be locked on weekends. ”

A sneer tugged at the corner of Su Chen's mouth, his eyes looked out of the car window, and a scene appeared in his mind.

On Sunday night, Zhang Jun came to the school dormitory, and as soon as he put down his things, he saw the bad students who had been bullying him in the school appear downstairs, which made Zhang Jun very scared.

Frightened, Zhang Jun chose to hide and hid in the utility room of the dormitory, and the bad students couldn't find Zhang Jun's figure but didn't leave, but began to search for Zhang Jun's figure in the entire dormitory building.

In order to prevent Zhang Jun from running away while they were searching, these bad students directly locked the iron door of the dormitory, so that Zhang Jun would not be able to leave.

The reason why they had to find Zhang Jun was because Zhang Jun's teacher, that is, Teacher Dai, found them and warned them not to bully Zhang Jun again.

The iron door of the dormitory was locked, and Zhang Jun had nowhere to escape, and was finally found by these people, who dragged Zhang Jun back to the dormitory, punched and kicked Zhang Jun, and thought of various ways and means to torture Zhang Jun.

After more than an hour of beating, these people did not intend to let Zhang Jun go, they stripped Zhang Jun of his clothes and asked Zhang Jun to stand in the dormitory corridor, but they didn't know that an honest man would break out if he was forced to be in a hurry.

Zhang Jun broke out at this time.

When these people were not paying attention, Zhang Jun secretly threw the cigarette butts that one of them had thrown on the ground and did not extinguish them, and then when he walked to the door, he took the opportunity to close the door of the dormitory and dragged the doorknob stiffly.

The iron door under the dormitory was already locked, and these people were not afraid that Zhang Jun would take the opportunity to escape, and Zhang Jun's clothes were stripped off by them, and they couldn't run anywhere, so they followed Zhang Jun and walked towards the door of the dormitory.

When they saw Zhang Jun close the door of the dormitory, they became angry one by one, but there was no handle in the door of the dormitory, only an iron pin, even if there were a few of them, but there was no way to exert force, but it was Zhang Jun outside the door, because he grabbed the doorknob, he could use all his strength.

At first, these people in the dormitory were just annoyed, because in their opinion, Zhang Jun was just struggling, and the dormitory door was going to open sooner or later, and even they had already thought about how to torture and beat Zhang Jun after the dormitory door was opened.

However, when the flames in the quilt burst into flames, even the bed board burned, and when there was smoke in the dormitory, these people knew the situation and desperately tried to open the door.

It's a pity that it's already late!

Zhang Jun at the door was already ready, he wanted to burn these bullying people, and when these people were burned to death, he would open the door of the dormitory and jump into the fire himself.

But what Zhang Jun didn't know was that fire was the most difficult thing in the world to control, and the wooden-framed window at the other end of the bedroom was also burning, and because of the wind, it drifted to the window of the next bedroom.

The fire began to burn the entire dormitory building, and the first person to notice that the dormitory building was on fire was Teacher Dai, who was walking towards the dormitory building.

As a teacher, Dai Qiming knows every one of his students, and he also knows that Zhang Jun will come to school on weekends, thinking of the scene where Zhang Jun was bullied by several students last time, he decided to have a good talk with his student to make him brave.

However, what Mr. Dai didn't expect was that when he came to the dormitory building, he saw that the dormitory building was on fire, and the most important thing was that the iron door of the dormitory building was locked.

In a hurry, Teacher Dai went to find a stone to smash the lock, and shouted at the same time, hoping that the students in the dormitory would hear the fire and escape.

......

Qin Yanxi could already guess the next situation, that Teacher Dai rescued Zhang Jun and the four people, and as for the three students who bullied Zhang Jun in the dormitory, they were already burned to death.

"Great God, do you think Zhang Jun himself knows that he set this fire?"

"What's the point of knowing, Zhang Jun was the last to be rescued, if he guessed correctly, that Teacher Dai could actually escape, but he didn't do it, but chose to stay in the fire, the purpose was to protect Zhang Jun. ”

Three people who don't belong to this dormitory died in a dormitory, and they will definitely be found when they investigate, so the truth about Zhang Jun's arson can't be hidden, and that Teacher Dai understood everything when he found Zhang Jun, and he chose to carry all this for Zhang Jun.

Rescued Zhang Jun to the exit, Mr. Dai returned to the dormitory, and then burned half of the cigarette in his pocket and threw it in the dormitory.

Where the source of the fire appeared, there was a half-pack of cigarettes that Mr. Dai usually smoked, which had not been completely burned, and the investigators would make up the next scene by themselves when they saw this scene.

Teacher Dai accidentally set fire to the dormitory because of his smoking, burning the three students to death.

"But who tampered with the memories of Zhang Jun and the four of them, why don't they have this Teacher Dai in their memories?"

"Look at the news!"

Su Chen handed the phone to Qin Yanxi, this is a relatively early piece of news, it is an introduction to local tourist attractions published by local media, which mentions the local trees that have annual rings.

Cai Gong Zhuang Primary School has a banyan tree, which has more than 800 years of annual rings so far, and is the third oldest tree in the district......

Qin Yanxi didn't read the introduction later, because she already understood it when she saw this.

The banyan tree is psychic, not to mention an eight-hundred-year-old banyan tree.

That Teacher Dai, at the moment when he was burned to death, his soul was possessed by the banyan tree, and he borrowed the power of the banyan tree to change the memory of Zhang Jun and the others.

The 800-year-old banyan tree is capable of doing this.

At this time, Qin Yanxi's mobile phone rang, and it was Zhang Meng calling.

"Yan Xi, we just got the news that the old banyan tree in the old campus has died. ”
