Chapter 4 Firewood Terrace

Squeak.

The dormitory door opened, and the fifth Tingyun walked out of it.

Although the Fifth City is only a small city, as the eldest son of the city lord, he still has an independent dormitory in the academy.

He twisted his neck and made a clattering sound. For the past seven days, he had devoted himself almost entirely to that book, and when he came out of He Yueming's office, he locked himself in his dormitory.

He Yue clearly guessed correctly, seven days have passed, and the fifth Tingyun has not gone home.

Fifth, Tingyun spent three days memorizing all the books, and then began to comprehend the contents of the book in the next four days, and tried to absorb Yuan Li. It was not in vain that He Yueming's hard work was not in vain, at the beginning, he did quickly absorb a large amount of Yuan Force and store it in the dantian.

But this didn't make him particularly happy, because in the past two years, although it has been rumored in the outside world that he can't absorb Yuan Li, he knows that his physical problem is not that he can't absorb it, but that he can't store it!

This book is different from the previous ones, only that it allows the Fifth Tingyun to absorb Yuan Force faster. And the fundamental problem that the fifth listening cloud cannot store the yuan force has not been solved.

At noon, he had painstakingly absorbed the Yuan Force of the morning, and it suddenly came to naught. The elemental forces that were supposed to be connected to his body were like walking around his body and then leaving without saying goodbye...... The efforts of the past few days have only come to naught.

However, he is not an easy person to die, so seven days passed quietly in the dead cycle of him absorbing and then disappearing, absorbing and disappearing again.

He spent seven days receiving He Yueming's kindness, and at the same time proved that "he is indeed a waste".

Feeling the sun shining on his face, the fifth hearing cloud felt a little comfortable, no matter what, the sun can still rise as usual, and the world is always bright. He smiled self-deprecatingly and self-understandingly, and then walked towards He Yueming's office.

No matter what he said, the result should still be told to Mr. He, he thought so in his heart.

Outside the office building, Ge Yunhai seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"It's been seven days, and it's been seven days since you entered the dormitory. Fifth Tingyun, do you know that seven days ago and seven days later, this world can be completely different?" Ge Yunhai stopped the fifth Tingyun and spoke with a very sly smile.

The fifth hearing Yun was stunned, and vaguely felt that Ge Yunhai meant something.

"Ha, it's hard for you, a waste still has to bear this painful blow, tsk......t" Ge Yunhai shook his head again and again, and his words had long since lost the kindness of seven days ago, but instead they were insults.

"Get out of the way. "Fifth, Tingyun doesn't want to be entangled.

"Okay, get out of the way, I'll get out of the way as soon as I say that. Ge Yunhai snorted with his nose, and he was not angry, and said with extreme disdain, "Seven days ago, I showed you the way and asked you to go home and ask your father, but you won't go." It's okay now, I can't ask you if I want to. You, be honest and be a waste for the rest of your life~"

Ge Yunhai deliberately dragged out his voice, and then really moved out of the way.

"What do you mean?" Fifth Tingyun expected something to be a little wrong, now that he thinks about it, seven days ago, Ge Yunhai unusually showed favor to himself, and He Yueming also did everything to leave himself in the academy, there must be a lot of articles in this!

"It's not interesting, it's just that I don't feel worthless for your wasted father, and I didn't even see my two sons when I died. Ge Yunhai shook his head as he spoke, as if he really felt sorry for the father who listened to the fifth Yun.

Looking at Ge Yunhai's back as he turned to leave, the fifth hearing was just a buzzing voice in Yun's head, he couldn't hear anything, he couldn't see anything, and there were only two words echoing in his consciousness: "Death!"

"No! It must not be! It is not like this!" The fifth heard that Yun Fa was running wildly, and he was so disturbed that he forgot to ride his horse and hurried back. He had vaguely felt the seriousness of the situation in his heart, he guessed the real reason why his father came to the academy but did not see him, and he found countless flaws in He Yueming's words seven days ago......

He fell for it hook line and sinker.

was deceived by his father and He Yueming together.

But this deception is actually out of good intentions. Although he was only sixteen years old, his two literary examinations made him more precocious and precocious than his peers, so between running, he had already guessed the anomalies of He Yueming and Ge Yunhai that day.

The only thing he still couldn't figure out was, what happened to the Fifth Clan?

What made Ge Yunhai go to great lengths to provoke himself to go home, but let his father and He Yueming take great pains to prevent him from going home? What is it that has anything to do with his father's "life and death"? What is it that makes everyone hide from him, but he wants to interfere in his own actions?!

The college is located in the neighboring city of the Fifth City.

When the fifth Tingyun ran back to the fifth city, night had already fallen.

As he passed through the city gates, the Fifth Tingyun truly realized that something was wrong. The soldiers defending the city were no longer members of the Fifth Clan, nor were they soldiers ordered by their fathers, but guards they had never seen before. Dressed in uniform blue-and-black samurai uniforms and with long swords hanging from their waists, they stood solemnly on both sides of the city gate.

He didn't dare to look up at the guards, but lowered his head and followed the flow of people into the city. After entering the city, he grabbed a handful of mud and grass in the corner, smeared it on his face, disguised himself as a flower, and cautiously sneaked towards the Fifth Sage Village in the north of the city.

The Fifth Virtuous Village, where the City Lord's Mansion of the Fifth City is located, is also the residence of the Fifth Clan.

He has spent more than ten years since he was born in Zhuangzi.

Fifth Tingyun's heart was a little confused, he didn't want to believe the speculation in his heart, but he had to believe it, because at this time he was standing in front of the gate of the Fifth Xianzhuang, looking at the seals pasted cross-pasted on the two vermilion lacquer gates, and the seals were written in black on a white background, "Copy of the Yuyang County Branch of the Central Criminal Department of the Yanhua Empire".

Fifth Clan...... It's been raided!

He went limp and slumped against the pillar in front of the door. His mind was blank, and even though he had made bad intentions, he still couldn't accept this fact.

He wanted to go up and tear off the seal, but his legs were shaking, and he didn't know if he was scared or sad.

At this moment, the Fifth Tingyun felt a strong wind behind him, and the person who came covered his mouth and nose before he could react, and clamped the Fifth Tingyun's shoulder with his other hand. The fifth hearing the clouds only felt the wind whistling in their ears, and in a flurry of ups and downs, the two of them had already crossed the wall of the Zhuangzi courtyard to the inside of the fifth Xianzhuang.

"Teacher He......" followed by a slight moonlight, and the fifth Tingyun immediately recognized the person, it was He Yueming. He Yueming smiled bitterly, only made a silent gesture, and then turned his face away, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Nobody. There was a sound of footsteps outside the village, about twelve or thirteen.

"Looking closely, we saw a dark shadow quietly approaching. ”

"Isn't it going in?"

"It's not up to us to take care of it, let's look carefully. ”

“......”

Fifth, Tingyun and He Yueming listened against the wall, and they didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the group outside was far away.

It seems that the Criminal Department still has heavy troops here.

After confirming that the patrol people left, the fifth hearing Yun had no reason to be angry, he twisted his body, shook off He Yueming's hand, and shouted: "What are you doing here! You still want to deceive me?" Although he understood that He Yueming lied to him to stay in school to protect himself, he still couldn't forgive He Yueming's deception.

Although the deception was well-intentioned, the fact that the Fifth Clan had been raided and the whereabouts of all the people of the huge family were unknown was in front of him, which left only anger and accusations in the Fifth Tingyun's heart.

"Listen to the clouds, you calm down, you listen to me. He Yueming endured her grief and reached out to help Fifth Tingyun's shoulder.

But the fifth hearing that Yun suddenly changed dramatically, his reason was completely gone, he opened He Yueming's hand with two palms, turned around and rushed into the depths of the manor. He Yueming stood in place in a daze, forgetting to catch up for a while, she leaned against the wall, panting, in fact, how could she feel better?

After resting against the wall for a while, she suddenly remembered that the person outside the wall just now said, "The inside is not under their control", indicating that the village is not safe, and there are also people patrolling the fifth sage village. As soon as she thought of this, she quickly cheered up and chased after the fifth Tingyun.

Fifth, Tingyun's heart was depressed and confused, and he didn't know where to go in the night. In the past, the lights in this big village were bright, and the servants and maids worked in shifts day and night, which was not much better than the most lively spring fragrance garden in the city at night. But now, the fifth Tingyun walked alone through the dark rockery pavilions, and except for the occasional nightingale crying outside the village, he couldn't hear any sound.

In the night wind, he even smelled a faint smell of blood. Knowing the imperial criminal law, he knew that the criminal department's coming to seal it must have caused conflicts and confrontations, and the criminal department had the right to "kill without mercy" when it was blocked, and this was probably how the bloody atmosphere in the air was generated.

What about the father, what about the mother, will they ...... too? While thinking wildly, the fifth Tingyun unconsciously came to the firewood platform on the mountain behind the manor. This firewood platform is located halfway up the back mountain, and it is the place where the firewood and grass of the entire Fifth Xianzhuang are stored.

Fifth, when Tingyun is unhappy, he always likes to sit on it.

"You're finally here. The mountain wind poured down from the top of the mountain, and it also brought such a sentence.

The fifth heard that Yun was startled, and followed the prestige, only to find that there was a person sitting on the edge of the cliff on the firewood platform. The man sat upright, as if he were one with the stone bench beneath him. The moonlight fell, and his shadow grew long under the oblique light.

"Uncle Chai?" took a closer look, and the fifth Tingyun recognized the old man. He is the servant of the clan who is responsible for the use of firewood, and the other servants call him Lao Chai, so the fifth Tingyun also called Uncle Chai, "Why are you here?"

The huge manor was copied and sealed, and there was no one left, but at this time, he could still meet the old man Chai, which made the fifth Tingyun feel unspeakably weird.

"I've been waiting for you for three days. The old man raised his hand, and quickly put it down again, he turned to the side of the fifth Tingyun, and when he saw the former young master, he didn't plan to get up.

Fifth, Tingyun felt that this old man was strange, and cautiously leaned over, only to realize that he was playing chess. It's really hard for this old man, such a faint moonlight, such a whistling mountain wind, and he still sits on the edge of the cliff and plays chess alone so calmly!

Strange, you say, isn't it strange?
