"Bell~"

"Bell~"

The New Year's bell is heard throughout the central area, and the streets are sparsely populated, no matter where the east, west, north, and central regions are, it is a day of family reunion at this point in the New Year.

At this moment, the Osde Academy is also quite deserted, and only pure white snow can be seen on the roadside, and no one can be seen.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, the academy will take a two-week vacation to let students go home and reunite with their families, every year is like this, the final assessment of students is only carried out after the New Year, the cultivators are extraordinary, the academy still doesn't want them to relax too much, after the assessment, it is the real winter vacation, which lasts for three weeks.

In the guest house, a hall that Wei Qing had never been to was full of people.

It is initially estimated that there are about 40 people, men, women and children, among whom the most frequent and busiest person who walks back and forth is Chen Yi.

Large and small plates of dishes were served to the long table under her command, and several women were also busy working together, and Lan Xinmi was also among them.

Cai Xiaoshu went home for the New Year, and Lan Xinmi naturally participated in the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of this teacher with her brother.

Dean Tang Gutou sat at one end of the long table, his new clothes were clean and neat, his freshly combed hair and beard were in good order, his face was full of red light, and he had a kind smile on his face, like an old man with a full house of children and grandchildren looking at his offspring as happy.

A few male teachers in their forties, some of whom were elderly, sat at the table, had already opened their wine bottles, and had a drink, and the room was full of joy.

In such an environment, Lan Xinmi's mood is also a lot better, following a few aunts who treat her as their own daughters to cook food, listening to those aunts talk to her about future men, talking about gossip between teachers, this is one of the few times when she doesn't have to pay attention to those troubles.

Lan Xinli sat on Tang Gu's left hand side, and directly opposite Tang Gu's right hand hand sat the only Xiuzhen teacher in the courtyard, Ye Shixin.

"Shixin, how has your cultivation been recently?" Tang Gu took three cups and poured some of his treasured wine in front of the three of them, and there were no energy fluctuations, and the two cups flew in front of Ye Shixin and Lan Xinli.

Lan Xinli picked up the cup with some restraint and took a small sip.

Compared with Lan Xinli's restrained appearance, Ye Shixin behaved more naturally, picked up the cup, took a sip, and said calmly: "It's finally stabilized, and after a few more years of consolidation, you can continue to go up." Dean, your collection has always been tasteful. ”

"Hmm. Tang Gu himself also took a sip of wine, and was quite satisfied with the taste, "Cultivation is the most important thing, especially when you cultivate the truth, you must follow the rules step by step, it seems that in a few years, the position of my old bone can be handed over to you." ”

"The dean said with a smile, I don't think it's strange that you will work hard for more than a hundred years, and when the time comes, you can just hand over the position to Xinli, I'll forget it." Ye Shixin laughed and said, he really didn't have much hope for the position of dean, what did he want to do when he came to this Osde Academy, didn't he just want to be idle here, for him, it was really a suitable life, and he didn't have that mind for the position of dean.

"Hehe, did you hear it, Xinli, it seems that I'm not the only one who is optimistic about you?" Tang Gu stretched out his hand and patted Lan Xinli's shoulder.

His hands seemed to have some magic power, and after two strokes, Lan Xinli was not so nervous, and said with a smile: "The dean and Teacher Ye are laughing, I am still young, and it is a good policy to hand over such a big responsibility to a person with rich experience and strength like Teacher Ye." ”

"No, no, no, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, in a few years, you will definitely be able to hold such a position......" Ye Shixin smiled and shirked, the dean is a hard job, he doesn't have the heart to take it on himself.

"Alright, alright. Tang Gu interrupted the two people who were playing back and forth in time, and scolded with a smile: "Don't fart with me here, one or two of you should not fart with me here, we have already discussed this matter, one of you is the strongest mainstay in our academy, and the other is the most potential young man in our academy, this matter has already been decided at the meeting, and everyone unanimously passed it, so don't fight for anything." ”

Ye Shixin smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect this to make the dean change his mind or anything, rather than letting this stubborn person change his mind, it was better to let Lan Xinli be strong and take over his class as soon as possible, so that he would retire early for the elderly.

Lan Xinli also shrunk his neck and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Shixin, let me ask you, that Wei Qing, have you seen him in class?" Tang Gu's words suddenly changed.

Ye Shixin shook his head slightly, "No, don't talk about me, according to the reactions of other teachers, he seems to have never appeared after the first class, and the dean asked me to focus on him, but now no one can see him." ”

"Xinli, where are you?" Tang Gu turned his head and looked at Lan Xinli.

"No, he's been locked up the day after the test. Although I tried to find him, there were two retreat signs hanging on his door, and I couldn't break in. The message sent to him with the telecommunications crystal ball also did not respond. At the mention of Wei Qing, Lan Xinli's head also hurt a little, not only because of his sister's affairs, but he also promised the dean to find out the details of his weapon.

"Well, since he's going to retreat, let him retreat. Tang Gu nodded his head, he has also found a few old friends these days, but no one knows this strange little guy, Wei Qing's origin is becoming more and more mysterious, and in Tang Gu's heart, the importance has also increased.

After thinking about it for a while, he said to Ye Shixin: "Shixin, in the final assessment next week, you give him the most difficult level of questions, the more unpopular the theoretical assessment questions, the more unpopular the better, yes, just out of the questions of the gods and demons, that information is not so easy to find, cultivation is an assessment, he is the strength of the fourth layer in the test, you will arrange him with the opponent of the peak of the fourth layer, and try my best to touch his bottom, if you can't find it, let him repeat the grade, understand?"

"Provincial province. Ye Shixin nodded hurriedly.

Lan Xinli felt that it was not good to do this, after all, Wei Qing had saved his sister and was kind to him, but he was a person on the dean's side, and the dean did not cause him any substantial harm like this, and Lan Xinli couldn't say anything for Wei Qing, so he could only make up for him on the other hand.

But on the other hand, what is the aspect? Lan Xinli has no answer to this question.

"Alright, alright, it's almost time to eat. Chen Yi walked out, dressed in short sleeves, and touched the sweat on her head, this snowy day, the weather outside is so cold, although there is heating in the house, but I didn't see everyone wearing thick clothes and trousers, she actually sweated hot, it can be seen how busy she is.

"Okay, let's thank Chef Chen and the girls for their efforts. Then our annual Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, let's start eating! Everyone let go of eating, have a good taste of the craftsmanship of our girls, come and come, all let go of drinking, these wines I treasure, I can't drink them on weekdays, come, Xinli, you can help everyone share a ......" Tang Gu got up, and after applauding Chen Yi and beckoning her to sit down, he said two more words, the annual Chinese New Year's Eve meal of Osde College is open.

As Lan Xinmi and other women who helped the chef sat down, the reunion dinner of the academy officially began.

At the dinner table, the teachers who are familiar with each other on weekdays are chatting about family life, you and me, I pour wine to you, and some of the married women are serving vegetables for their children, and some are talking about gossip in a pair of corners.

Needless to say, as the head of the academy, he first sent a big red envelope to these teachers and their wives and children one by one, and Lan Xinmi also received one, and then was dragged away by several older male teachers to pour wine one by one.

After three rounds of drinking, the scene became more lively.

Even Lan Xinmi drank a small sip of the dean's treasured wine, his face was flushed, not to mention Lan Xinli, as early as the bad old man Tang Gu, under the leadership of the bad old man Tang Gu, he poured wine to a group of male teachers one by one, and at this moment it was already a puddle of mud lying on the stool, causing the audience to laugh, seeing his brother's dizzy appearance, even Lan Xinmi laughed.

Time slipped away in laughter and warmth, the snow outside the house and the warmth inside the house are like the most beautiful paintings in the world - to have such warmth in such a cold winter.

At this moment, I don't know how many of the same paintings are in the world!

It's just that......

After all, there are people who are not in the painting.

The empty room, on the cold glass, frost melted and knotted.

Even in the dark night, there was no light on at all, and in the bleak room, except for the beds, chairs, stools, and tables necessary for life, there were only one or two empty cabinets as decorations.

There was a thin layer of ash on the floor, and it seemed that no one had moved for a while, and in this room, where even rats and insects did not want to stay longer, there was a faint "click" cracking sound.
