Walking on the road of the academy is different from walking on the road of the academy in a carriage.
On the stone steps, among the weeping willows, it is elegant and quiet.
Although the opening of the school is imminent, the college is vast and grand, and there are few students and pedestrians on the road.
Nie Lin liked the tranquil environment of the academy very much, and he found that away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in this quiet and natural environment, his sense of the beginning of the change of heaven and earth was even more significant.
It was under this state of contemplation that Nie Lin was unconscious, his steps were as light as a floating boat, and his walking speed was like a gust of wind, fast and steady.
Xu is Mr. Wangqiu's special status, so you can take a carriage when you enter the academy, Nie Lin walked to the gate of the academy, and saw that there were a lot of large and small carriages, and many students, accompanied by their families, stopped at the gate of the academy one after another, and moved down the ceremonial items, a chaotic scene.
After Nie Lin came out, an unnatural gaze projected, and then dodged again, he turned his face and saw that Luo Xiongchuan lowered his head a little unnaturally, and hurriedly began to move things, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Since losing to Nie Lin in a row, Luo Xiongchuan can no longer be strong in front of Nie Lin, he feels as if he has been caught by Nie Lin's pigtails, and as soon as he sees Nie Lin, he wants to hide.
However, Nie Lin has always been a low-key person, and he didn't bother to meet people like Luo Xiongchuan, so his eyes only swept over him slightly, and walked straight to the river bridge outside.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the horses are shocked!"
When Nie Lin walked to the side of the river bridge, suddenly a neighing sound of horses came, and he saw a luxury carriage coming in a hurry, and the driver who was driving the carriage was sweating on his forehead, shouting for passers-by to dodge, while pulling the reins of the horse hard, trying to restrain the carriage to stop, but after the horse was frightened, he rushed straight towards the river bridge.
The horse was startled, the carriage was uncontrollable, and Nie Lin saw that the route that the carriage was hitting was in his direction, so he quickly climbed over a guardrail in the middle of the river bridge.
The river in front of the academy is not wide, but the river bridge is relatively wide, separated by a guardrail in the middle, and the width of the left and right sides is combined, which can accommodate six carriages to cross together.
Nie Lin walked on the half of the river bridge that he went out to pass, because on the side of the river bridge, there were two signs standing at both ends, with the words 'in and out', so it was easy to distinguish.
And when the carriage was out of control, it broke into the right bridge road where the academy was going out, so after Nie Lin quickly climbed over the guardrail and reached the bridge at the left half of the entrance, he saw that the carriage had collided with a carriage that was about to go out.
Bang!
After the two carriages collided, the horses screamed, and after being resisted, when they instinctively dodged, the carriages of the two carriages collided together, making a roar, which attracted the attention of everyone at the gate of the academy.
However, the quality of the startled carriage seemed to be very strong and tough, and after the two carriages collided, not only was it not knocked over, but the roof of the carriage that was about to go out was torn off, and after it overturned, after falling apart, one of the wheels rolled to the side, hit the guardrail, and was already scrapped.
Nie Lin didn't pay attention to this kind of small accident that happened from time to time, just glanced at the luxurious carriage one more time, and headed in the direction of Silver Leaf Town.
When the frightened carriage finally stopped, the coachman hurriedly got out of the carriage and said to the people in the carriage: "Miss, are you alright, you didn't hit your head?"
"Hey, who is that, shouldn't you apologize first when you crashed my carriage?" When the coachman of the overturned carriage saw that the person in the luxurious carriage not only did not apologize first, but asked his own family, his face immediately sank.
Who knows, I heard a girl's somewhat depressed voice from the carriage: "It's a bump, Uncle Ji, just pay them some silver two compensation, that kid just now, Uncle Ji, do you recognize it, is it the one grandpa said, I'm really angry, I didn't hit him!"
"What, it's a hit, it's a big breath, do you know whose carriage this is, if there are people sitting in it, can you afford to hit it?"
The middle-aged man named Uncle Ji stepped forward at this time, and then took out a piece of gold and put it in the coachman's hand, and said: "This brother, my horse was shocked and accidentally hit your carriage, and this money should be regarded as repair costs and compensation, you can accept it!"
The coachman saw that the people at the gate of the academy were all here at this time, and he couldn't help but straighten his waist, and said stiffly: "No, you have to apologize, you think that you want to send it away if you take the ingot gold to compensate, what are you and my Tang family, in this Bazhou...... Hmmm......"
"Get out!"
When the coachman was about to show off, the man named Uncle Ji suddenly shoved the ingot of gold into his mouth, and then kicked the coachman away.
After the coachman was kicked off the bridge, Uncle Ji spat again and said, "The most despised is a subordinate of the Tang family, who turns out to be this face, this branch of the Tang family in Bazhou is really enough to give the face of the Tang family!"
"Uncle Ji, go to the academy, don't waste time on these people, I want to know all the information of that guy named Nie Lin before school starts!"
After Uncle Ji pushed the broken carriage aside, he drove his own carriage across the bridge.
And the coachman who was beaten, seeing that the carriage was scrapped, wanted to cry without tears, and his face was pale, so he wanted to scold a few words, but then his throat slipped, and the ingot of gold was suddenly swallowed.
"Help......" A frightened cry echoed at the entrance of the academy.
......
Silver Leaf Town is not far from Tianlu Academy, but this town is surrounded by a forest, and if you want to bypass that forest, the distance will be farther.
But if you pass through the woods, it's much closer.
In order to save trouble, Nie Lin naturally had to go straight through the woods.
There is a silver leaf tree in this forest, from which the name of the silver leaf town comes from, the wood of this tree is better than the ordinary wood, and the furniture made is not easy to deform, and it is also damp, which is more famous in the north.
However, Nie Lin knew that wherever there was a silver-leaf forest, there would be a kind of rodent with silver-gray fur that feeded on the roots and leaves of the silver-leaf tree, which was called the silver-leaf rat, also known as the swordtail rat.
Among the sword beasts, this kind of swordtail rat is also the lowest level of sword beasts, and many swordsmen like to keep this kind of swordtail rat that ordinary people can catch and kill as pets.
The probability of the swordtail rat giving birth to a sword fetus is extremely low, once it appears, then this kind of sword fetus is a good medicine material for alchemists to refine medicine, which is quite valuable, and therefore, there will be some people in some places who will breed this kind of swordtail rat and obtain income through the sword fetus.
This silver-leaf forest is not very dense, although it is called the silver-leaf forest, but the silver-leaf trees on the side of the road on the periphery are about to be cut down, and even the young trees have not been spared, which is obviously the result of the mercenary intentions of black-hearted businessmen.
However, when Nie Lin walked through the sparse pine forest and almost arrived at Silver Leaf Town, the silver leaf trees here were relatively dense, and occasionally a silver leaf rat would sneak up on him and be kicked away by him.
The attack of these swordtail rats is not strong, but they are very sensitive, and if they are not with professional tools, they are generally not easy to catch.
Yinye Town is not large, compared with Tianlu Academy, it is only a corner of the academy, and the buildings here are relatively dense.
After Nie Lin came to the town through the Silver Leaf Forest, he asked an old farmer who was going out about Gu Zhiqiu's home, who knew that the old farmer glanced at Nie Lin with a strange face, pointed to him, and then quickly walked away, as if Nie Lin would bring him disaster.
Nie Lin was a little strange, so he followed the old farmer's point and came to the end of the backmost road in Yinye Town, where he saw a small farmhouse courtyard that was very isolated and remote, far away from the farmer's house in the town.
Around the small courtyard of the farmhouse, there are several separate fields, surrounded by fences, which are planted with all kinds of plants and flowers, and it looks quite a chic place.
However, when Nie Lin passed by the fence, he suddenly smelled a smell of pollen, and then a feeling of dizziness and nausea came.
Nie Lin's face changed: "Some of these flowers and plants are actually highly poisonous!"
