CHAPTER XXXII

"Then you guys talk, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

Gao Qianli looked at the three people in front of him who obviously had something to discuss with Qiu Qi, and exchanged a few words with them very clearly, then stood up and said goodbye.

Qiu Qi nodded clearly, stood at the door with Gao Qianli and said a few words, and when Gao Qianli was sent away, Qiu Qi turned to look at the three people who had also stood up, and his eyes flashed with a complicated and inexplicable light.

"You must have guessed what we were here for, right?" Seeing Qiu Qi standing at the door and watching them without speaking, Zuo Idiot spoke first.

Qiu Qi nodded, walked over and sat down at the table, and said:

"Sit down first."

The three of them glanced at each other, sat down one after another, and waited for Qiu Qi to speak.

Qiu Qi looked at his arm hanging on the right side, he had broken his hand for many years, and he had long been accustomed to it, and he had adapted to the trivial things of life, but he didn't expect that one day, someone would chase him and ask him the reason for the broken hand.

"I'm not the first." Qiu Qi said lightly.

That's right, Qiu Qi is not the first academy student to cut off his right hand, long before him, this kind of thing has happened in the academy several times, and there are many rumors.

Since he ruthlessly cut off his hand, except for the classmates and friends he made on weekdays, few people came forward to ask him about the reason for his broken hand, thinking that he was like those students who had broken his hand before, he had a strange illness and committed epilepsy, and they all avoided him.

Such a day, such a life, Qiu Qi has been accustomed to it for four years, but he didn't expect that today, he would meet people like Deng Si'er and them.

"This little brother asked me that day, but it involves personal obscurity, and it is really inconvenient to tell me, but today thanks to your rescue, I and Qianli can avoid being bullied, in fact, this is just an old thing, can you tell me, what are you for, so persistent in wanting to know the reason?"

Qiu Qi's eyes looked at Deng Sier, Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing sincerely, he was not stupid, he knew very well and very well that no one would be interested in other people's obscure things for no reason, not to mention, it was the three of them who were obviously extraordinary people with unusual identities.

"We're in"

"Tell me the truth,"

Deng Si'er just wanted to say that they were investigating the case, but Zuo Idiot interjected and interrupted his words, Deng Si'er squinted at Deng Si'er, and then continued to say to Qiu Qi:

"Young Master Qiu, we are not students of the academy, but we were entrusted by someone to come to the academy to investigate a secret transaction, we just think that the students of the academy, including you, are likely to have something to do with what we want to investigate, so we will come to disturb."

As soon as Deng Si'er heard this, his eyes couldn't help but start to roll over again, but he was hit by Chu Jing's elbow, so he muttered to himself in his heart:

The left idiot's kung fu of opening his eyes and telling nonsense is becoming more and more perfect

It's not at all like the left idiot Deng Si'er saw for the first time, cold and stunned

Deng Si'er shook his head regretfully, but heard Qiu Qi say in surprise:

"Secret deals? There is no shortage of wealthy and powerful people in the academy, who cares about this shady deal? Aren't you afraid of being discovered? ”

"You're right, we happened to save a college student who fell into the water on the way, and it was the student who told us that because he happened to see a shady deal, and they accidentally discovered it, so he was chased and killed, and he almost drowned in the river." Zuo Idiot said again.

After hearing this, Qiu Qi looked at Zuo Idiot in surprise, there is such a thing in the academy?

"The academy is full of scholars who have come here to study, how could they do such a thing?"

"Isn't the eldest son who bullied you just now who doesn't know which family he is just a gentleman? He doesn't look like he's come to study at the academy, does he? ”

Deng Si'er interjected lightly on the side, obviously disagreeing with what Qiu Qi said.

Qiu Qi choked suddenly, sighed, and said:

"It's true that things are changing, but how can the academy stay the same?"

Qiu Qi still remembers that when he first entered the academy, the atmosphere was orthodox and everyone was eager to learn, where were there so many strange rumors in the academy at that time, and where were there so many children of the family who were rampant and domineering?

"Young Master Qiu, I wonder if you can tell us the reason why you cut off your right hand?" Zuo Zhi looked at Qiu Qi with some lonely affection, and still asked.

Qiu Qi was stroking the sleeve of his right hand, and after hearing Zuo Idiot's words, he was obviously stunned, and after a while, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head, looked at the three of them with a wry smile, and said:

"Do you know the 'manifestation'?"

Real?

Hearing this, Zuo Idiot turned his head and glanced at Deng Si'er and Chu Jing, and saw Chu Jing nodding lightly at him, before he turned around and continued to look at Qiu Qi, and asked:

"Does this have something to do with the reason for your broken hand?"

Qiu Qi sighed and nodded, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the outside to see if there were groups of academy students walking by, with new and old faces, as if his thoughts had returned to a few years ago, and slowly spoke.

At that time, Qiu Qi's family was still thriving, he was a famous family in Tuzhou, he was young and gentle, very popular, and he was also quite admired in the academy, and the lecturers of the academy also had a good impression of him and were very important.

He had a good time in the academy for two years, but four years ago, his family offended the new governor of Tuzhou, that is, Song Jiancheng, the father of Song Hao, who had bullied him and Gao Qianli. Slowly, due to the suppression, the Qiu family gradually declined and was excluded.

Qiu Qi was young and vigorous and angry, but it was less than three months before the next year's scientific expedition, so he wanted to rely on the scientific expedition to seek fame and revitalize the family.

In order to be more sure, Qiu Qi didn't know where to hear that the academy's 'revealing truth' potion was not just for the effect of hiding handwriting.

Rather, drinking the 'manifest truth' can make people's memory instantly improve, and it will stimulate people's potential and make people seriously obsessed with the same thing.

However, no one has ever told Qiu Qi about the consequences of drinking 'revealing the truth'.

"So, you just drank it?" Deng Si'er didn't know that there was such a weird potion in this world, and looked at Qiu Qi with round eyes.

Qiu Qi nodded and continued:

"That's right, I was in a hurry at that time, and after drinking the 'Xianzhen', it was indeed as rumored, I only had to read it once, and I could remember the contents of the book, and not only that, but when I was writing, I almost entered a state of madness, and I wrote quickly, and I saw that the effect was so obvious, and my heart was very happy and excited."

"And then?" Zuo Idiot asked.

"Later? I was not greedy enough, I took it for nearly three months, and I became addicted day by day, and my right hand became crazy because I often wrote under the effect of the medicine, trembling non-stop, uncontrollable, like ten thousand insects gnawing, the pain was unstoppable."

Qiu Qi said that in the end, his voice was already trembling and unstable, which made the listener unbearable.

Seeing Qiu Qi's painful face, the three of them couldn't bear to continue to disturb, so they quietly got up and left.

When the three of them walked out of the gate of the house, they were all silent and their faces were heavy.

At this point, they don't need Qiu Qi to say more, they can also understand that in that case, I am afraid that they can only ruthlessly cut off their right hand

It wasn't long after noon, and the sun was still hanging there, but the three of them were cold in their hearts and couldn't feel the warmth.

"What the hell is going on?" Deng Si'er looked at the path in front of him, muttering that he didn't know if he was asking himself, or if he was asking Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing beside him.

It turns out that this is the truth of the severed hand
