Three days later.

Outside the north city of Jiangzhou.

A carriage stopped quietly beside the riverside pavilion, and the horses pulling the carriage lowered their heads and nibbled on the grass by the river, chewing incessantly.

In the long pavilion, an old man in a black robe was holding hands with two men, one man looked about forty or fifty years old, and the other man in white robe was younger, but only in his twenties.

The appearance of the three people in the pavilion has a huge age span, but they look like old friends for many years, which can't help but make people a little surprised.

This black-robed old man is none other than Tang Zhizhang.

Since that day, Zhao Ting asserted that he didn't have much time to live. He went from not being able to believe this fact at first, to reluctantly accepting it later.

He saw through the red dust.

At Datong Academy, Tang Zhizhang had already completed the suspension procedures early and was ready to go home to retire. The reason why he didn't leave immediately was because the people from the Jiangzhou government found them, and after assisting in the investigation and clearing the suspicion, Tang Zhizhang decided to immediately embark on the road back to his hometown.

Even if he dies, he will die in his hometown!

"Brother Tang is gone, and he will never see each other again in this life. Thinking of the sadness, thinking that the two of them had spent money together in Jiangzhou City and slaughtered all sides in the Qinglou, Wang Junwei burst into tears, "Brother Tang, it's rare to make friends in life, but now you have to leave me, sad, it's a pity!"

Tang Zhizhang was also infected by Wang Junwei's sad emotions, took his hand and said, "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, you and I are just classmates, we once boated on the waves of the five lakes, and our daughter only smiled for the Pomeranians, how carefree we were at that time!"

"The past is unbearable, Tang is not moving now, he just wants to go home to see, to see if the second elder in the family is okay, and to see if those old friends of mine have gone back?"

"Alas, if you buy rouge and carry wine, it will not be the same in the end, a young man!"

"Yes," Wang Junwei sighed, "Time flies like a white horse, in the blink of an eye, we are actually old?

Listening to the long sighs of the two beside him, Zhao Ting actually had an urge to laugh, considering that this sad farewell occasion was not suitable for laughing, so he forcibly held back.

"Brother Tang, walk slower on the way back, you are now in this body, and you can't stand the bumps. Zhao Ting kindly reminded.

Tang Zhizhang nodded slowly, and said, "Tang Mou is leaving, and there will only be the two of you left in the "Three Gentlemen" of Datong, hey, if it is appropriate, you will choose another person with a noble character and join the "Three Gentlemen" of Datong." ”

"Tang is going too. ”

The corners of Zhao Ting's mouth twitched, and he said, "Walk slowly, crutches, I forgot to take the crutches." ”

Taking the cane from Wang Junwei's hand, Tang Zhizhang glanced back at them again, then slowly turned around and boarded the carriage with the support of the coachman.

"Hey, slow down. The coachman carefully lifted the bead curtain in front of the car for Tang Zhizhang.

Unexpectedly, when Tang Zhizhang heard his words, he immediately glared and said angrily, "Who do you say is old?"

In a fit of rage, Tang Zhizhang didn't catch his breath and coughed violently.

"Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

It was like coughing up my lungs.

The coachman looked nervous, stroked Tang Zhizhang's back again and again, and said with a smile, "You take it easy, take it easy, don't get angry, it's a mistake." ”

“......”

Seeing the carriage gradually moving away, Zhao Ting retracted his gaze and said to Wang Junwei beside him, "Let's go, don't look at it, go back to the city." ”

"Oh, good. Wang Junwei answered, turned around and followed closely.

......

......

Following.

Early in the morning, the morning bell had just struck.

Datong Academy.

The master in the school had already started the roll call with the roster in hand.

"Flower anecdotes. ”

"The students are here. ”

"Chen Ding. ”

"The students are here. ”

"Wang Junwei," Referring to this name, Li Lao frowned slightly, he knew that this student seemed to have been involved in a murder case recently, so he took a few days off and didn't come to school these days.

"Is Wang Junwei here today?"

At this moment, a deep voice rang out in the corner.

"The students are here. ”

Li Lao looked up at the place where the voice came from, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a square scarf sitting in Wang Junwei's place, the man's face was wrinkled, and he looked at least forty years old.

This made Li Lao frown suddenly, and secretly said in his heart, "Which student's elder is this?"

After hesitating for a moment, Elder Li asked in a deep voice, "Your Excellency is ......?"

The middle-aged man's expression looked a little helpless, and he said, "Master, I'm your student Wang Junwei!"

His voice caused the other students in the school to look at him, and then they all laughed, as if they had heard something funny.

Zhao Ting, who was beside Wang Junwei, had to open his mouth to explain for him, "Master, the student testifies, he is really my cousin Wang Junwei, he suffered from an illness a few days ago, and the whole person has aged a lot all of a sudden, so he ......"

With Zhao Ting helping to explain, Li Lao squinted his eyes and carefully knocked on Wang Junwei's face, then put down the book in his hand and said, "You two, come out with me." ”

"Yes. ”

"Yes. ”

The three of them walked to a secluded and uninhabited place outside the school, and Li Lao stopped at this time, turned around, and asked with a serious face, "I heard that the two of you were involved in a murder case and were invited to tea by the government, but is there such a thing?"

Zhao Ting and Wang Junwei glanced at each other, and after a moment, Zhao Ting arched his hand and said, "Back to the master, the student is indeed involved in the murder, but the student only cooperated with the government's investigation, and now the suspicion has been cleared." ”

"That's good. ”

After a moment, Li Lao frowned again, glanced at Wang Junwei, shook his head and said, "His situation is not just as simple as harming the disease, it should be that the foundation of the human body has been injured by dirty things, 'spirit'." ”

"Let me ask you, what strange things have happened to the two of you in the past few days......?

Hearing Elder Li ask this, Zhao Ting couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, but his face was still silent and didn't show it.

"Demons and monsters...... Well, I don't think there is, but my cousin had a strange encounter the other day. ”

Saying that, Zhao Ting looked at Wang Junwei, and at the same time gave him a vague look.

Wang Junwei understood, lowered his head and said, "Go back to Master, the student went to ...... a few days ago When I went to the Qinglou, I heard from the turtle there that an Oiran named "Yan'er" in their building suddenly disappeared, and was later found under his bed, and when he found it, the body of "Yan'er" had become a dried corpse, as if he had died a long time ago and had been dried for a long time. ”

"But the turtle said that just the day before that, he saw "Yan'er" in the building picking up a guest, how could it suddenly become a dried corpse?

When he heard the word "Qinglou", Li Lao frowned slightly, and after patiently listening to Wang Junwei's words, he said, "It should be...... It was done by "unknown". ”

After a pause, Li Lao explained again, "'Unknown' is a foreign body, and demons and monsters are all 'ominous'. Your serious illness should also be inseparable from "unknown". Well, fortunately, you should have just been affected by the "ominous", hurting the "spirit" and losing some longevity, but not endangering your life. ”

"This kind of fireworks hook fence place, since ancient times, has been a place to hide dirt and dirt, and it is the easiest to breed pollution. It's better for you to go less in the future, so as not to be affected by the pond fish again. ”
