"Wow......"

The three knocks on the door were not hurried or slow, but they woke up Zhang Zheng, who was meditating with his eyes closed.

His eyes were painted, clear and pure without a trace of anger and malice, Zhang Zheng got up and opened the door, hooked the corners of his lips, and greeted with a smile: "The student has seen Mr. ”

The gentleman was also full of smiles, and he didn't see any suspicion at all, "You have missed three days of study, and you can't get out of the room for three days, but you have something on your mind?" ”

"Sir, don't worry, the student is fine, but he encountered something incomprehensible, so he just thought about it for a while."

The gentleman held the volume of "Jiu Yiqi Lu Runji Book" in his hand, passed by her, and stepped into the inner room.

While carefully putting the scroll back on the shelf, Mr. said without looking back: "If you have any doubts in your heart, you can tell me, and Mr. will tell you what he can answer." ”

Zhang Zheng's eyes darkened, and he noticed that she said "can answer" instead of "know", the difference between a few words, but the meaning is very different.

"Sir."

"Huh?"

Zhang Zheng raised his eyes and looked directly at her husband, who was looking back at her, "What would you do if someone died because of you?" ”

The gentleman asked rhetorically, "Did I mean to cause this man's death?" ”

Zhang Zheng pondered for a moment and resolutely shook his head.

The gentleman did not answer immediately, but walked to the table and poured a glass of water, she picked up the half-full water glass, walked out of the inner room, and stood at the entrance of the private school.

After pouring the water, she placed the cup casually on the bookcase next to her.

She raised her eyes and looked at the red and bright sunshine in the sky, "Let's go, it's too late to rest, and I have to give a lecture tomorrow morning." ”

After that, she left the private school with her hands in her hands, Zhang Zheng glanced at a stall of water on the ground and the teacup on the bookcase, looked inexplicable, and left the place with her.

Back in the house behind the private school, Zhang Zheng and Mr. sat opposite each other, one reading and the other practicing calligraphy, getting along harmoniously and quietly.

Zhang Zheng suddenly remembered that Yi Yanshan was looking for a dark river, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, the book says that everything can find its roots, and the spring in the back mountain originates from the underground dark river?" ”

The gentleman didn't look up, "Naturally." ”

"And where does the river come from?"

He put down his brush and carefully explained: "The dark river is formed in a karst cave, which is the surface water soaked into the rock and immersed in the ground, and after years of dissolution, collapse and remodeling, it slowly forms a dark river, and some can even form an intricate interweaving of dark rivers. ”

Didn't hear what he wanted, Zhang Zheng sighed regretfully: "The force of nature is really magical, it's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes." ”

Mr. smiled knowingly, "The dark river under the spring is in the ancestral land, if you want to see it, you can wait until the day of the surname to enter the ancestral land to have a good look." ”

Ancestral land!

Zhang Zheng's eyes fluctuated, and he didn't expect to know the exact location of the dark river from his husband so easily.

It's just that the ancestral land is not so easy to enter, so do you really have to wait until the day of the surname?

In the dead of night, on the bed, the husband was already asleep, breathing long and steady.

Zhang Zheng cautiously got up, gently pushed open the door, and sneakily left.

The crescent moon is like a hook, and by the bleak moonlight, Zhang Zheng came to the front of the private school, and as soon as he pushed open the courtyard door, he heard a crisp sound of porcelain breaking.

Immediately followed by Yan Shaoting's irritable scolding, "What immoral guy is sprinkling water everywhere!" ”

As soon as Zhang Zheng stepped into one foot, the broken porcelain pieces of the water cup on the ground reflected the clear moonlight, and the remnants of the small water beach were full of moonlight.

I was stunned for a while, not knowing whether to go in or not.

Yi Yanshan noticed Zhang Zheng's figure, raised her hand and pulled the sleeve of Yan Shaoting, who was scolding endlessly, told him to stop for a while, and welcomed Zhang Zheng: "Zhang Daoyou, come in." ”

Zhang Zheng avoided the puddle of water in front of the door, and as soon as he walked in front of the two of them, he was attracted by Yan Shaoting's depressed black air, "Yan Daoyou, what's wrong?" "Don't be like this by a puddle of water!

Yi Yanshan smiled bitterly: "Haven't we been secretly looking for the location of the dark river these days, but today we were blocked by those five guys, Shaoting had a big fight with them, wasted a day's time in vain, and was angry, but as soon as I entered the hospital, I stepped on the water and slipped, which is even more angry." ”

Yan Shaoting suddenly interjected, and said angrily with dissatisfaction: "It's not that I slipped, but I almost slipped, okay, senior sister, don't smear me." It's all to blame for the immoral stuff that sprinkles water everywhere! ”

Uh, although this immoral thing is talking about Mr., she also has an unshirkable responsibility, Zhang Zheng smiled and changed the topic, "Then do you have any clues?" ”

Mentioning this, Yi Shan frowned, shook his head and said: "No, we have almost run all over the village, and there is no clue, either there is a formation here to interfere with the investigation, or the dark river is too deep, and the treasure hunting rat can't detect it." ”

Either way, it was a difficult obstacle for them to overcome at the moment, but she brought good news this time.

Zhang Zheng didn't sell it, and said directly: "I learned from my husband today that the dark river under this spring flows through the ancestral land of Zhidao Village. ”

"Ancestral land?"

Yi Yanshan was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously: "We have never heard of any ancestral land of Zhidao Village, I don't know what kind of place this is?" ”

Zhang Zheng shook his head, "It's not a secret, I only know that there is such an ancestral land in Zhidao Village, and I have never seen what the ancestral land looks like, so naturally I don't know where its location is." ”

"What's so difficult about this," Yan Shaoting patted his chest confidently, "Just find a villager and ask." ”

Because of the great achievements of the five people in the village last time, the village's attitude towards them has been much better in the past few days, especially after comparing the five people who cause trouble every day, they feel that Yi Yanshan and Yan Shaoting are reasonable people.

After receiving the warm hospitality of the villagers and the respect between words for a few days, Yan Shaoting's frustrated arrogance instantly surged.

"No way!"

Yi Yanshan vetoed his proposal without thinking.

Zhang Zheng also shook his head in disagreement.

The word ancestral land has been endowed with a sacred meaning since ancient times, and it is the destination of the children who grew up in the ancestral land when they return to their roots and fallen leaves, how can they be defiled by an outsider at will.

"Since it is the ancestral land of the village, it is naturally dedicated to the tablets of the ancestors of this village from ancient times to the present. How could it be that outsiders could know at will, let alone lead outsiders into the ancestral land. ”

Not to mention the villagers, even if it is just to let the village chief know, there are villagers who dare to lead outsiders into the ancestral land, then the villagers and the outsiders who enter the ancestral land are afraid that they will have to face the anger of the village chief.

It may be enough for the villagers to teach a lesson, but it is not impossible for outsiders to be directly expelled from Zhidao Village without relatives and no reason.
