Du Ruo was afraid that Ye Yuanzhou would not be able to figure out the situation, so he turned his head and whispered to him: "This academy was originally founded by my father, but later he found that he couldn't do what the sage advocated, and he was only willing to deal with students who he felt were enlightened enough.

So he handed over the academy to other gentlemen to manage, and he only came a few times every ten years, giving him a point or two for the students who felt that they were malleable talents and were more temperamental.

However, people outside think that if they can get into his eyes, they will definitely become a great talent, and they will be selected by my father a few times, and they will be able to have an epiphany more than other gentlemen who have been teaching for three years and five years, so there are still many people who want to come to this academy.

Especially after I won Tanhua, they became even more convinced of this, even if I was not even a student of this academy at the beginning. ”

Du Ruo took this as a fun thing and told Ye Yuanzhou about it, but Ye Yuanzhou was a little puzzled after hearing it: "In that case, why aren't you in this academy?" Your father is here, and it's not far from your house. ”

"Isn't it because he's there?" Du Ruo sighed, "When I want to concentrate on studying, he always comes to disturb, I want to take the imperial examination, and he also thinks that he shouldn't waste his energy to rely on that Laoshzi thing, he will be laughed at if he fails the exam, and he is even more annoying when he gets into the exam, so he will make trouble every now and then."

In a fit of rage, I ran to another academy to hide from him. ”

Ye Yuanzhou only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this, such a father-daughter relationship was strange and incredible to him, but people couldn't help but feel envious.

Although Du Zhong came to the academy several times every ten years, after all, he founded it himself, so he was very familiar with every grass and tree, and took the two people around to the door of a school in the back, cleared his throat, and the scholars who had been immersed in hard study inside immediately raised their heads and looked at the door.

"You! Come out. Du Zhong pointed to the young man sitting behind a bookcase by the wall, motioned for him to come with him, and then turned and walked away.

The man hurriedly ran out of the school, and when he saw that there was Du Ruo outside, he hurriedly saluted in surprise: "Senior sister! Didn't you go elsewhere to become an official? How did it end up here? ”

"Your family is from Tonghe County, I'm not mistaken, right?" Du Zhong didn't seem to want the scholar to talk to his daughter, so he shook off the folding fan with a snap, attracted the scholar's attention back, and asked him.

was asked by Du Zhong on the head, and the scholar didn't dare not answer, and quickly nodded yes: "Mr. is really a good memory!" My home is in Tonghe County, but in Zhuangzi, which is close to Duanshan in Tonghe County, so I came to Duanshan to study! ”

Du Zhong's ears were already calloused when he heard that kind of good words, so he didn't react, and asked directly: "Then do you know about the murderous house in Tonghe County?" ”

The scholar was taken aback: "Has the gentleman also heard of this matter?" Could it be that this murderous house is so fierce, even Duanshan County has heard of it? ”

"Is that really the case?" Du Ruo hurriedly asked him, "Can you tell us what is going on with this murderous house?" ”

The scholar subconsciously looked up at the sky, and saw a round of sun hanging in the sky, and the surroundings were warmly sunburned, as if he was a little relieved, and nodded.

Seeing his reaction, Du Ruo was also a little confused for a while: "You...... Isn't it to see if the Yang Qi is enough at this time? ”

Seeing through her intentions, the scholar grinned wryly: "Senior sister is smiling!" Scholars shouldn't believe those strange forces and gods, Mr. Du has had this kind of teaching before, but ......

It's just that this matter has been passed on by word of mouth in Tonghe County, and it is said that it is too nose and eyes, and it is inevitable that I will be shocked when I hear too much, so I ......"

"It's okay, when we were also passing through Tonghe County, we heard that little bit of a star, and we were very curious, so we wanted to find someone to inquire." Du Ruo said.

The scholar shuddered and said to them, "Others may not know, but I know everything about the haunted house, because my uncle lived in another courtyard behind the haunted house, and he was so frightened that he moved elsewhere."

I didn't believe it at first, but when I went to his house to visit, I heard a lot from my uncle, so I was a little skeptical and took it seriously. ”

"Do you know how that haunted house suddenly became haunted?"

"Then I don't know." The scholar shook his head, "I just heard from my uncle that when he lived next to the haunted mansion, he would often hear the sound of oozing cries in the wind in the dead of night.

It's like a female ghost crying at night, crying like a complaint, which makes people shiver all over their bodies when they hear it, and they panic from the bottom of their bones.

At first, my uncle's family was so frightened that they didn't dare to live on the side closer to the haunted house, so they all hid in the courtyard on the other side, which was far away.

As a result, not only did the ghost cry in the haunted house, but also died inexplicably, so they were so frightened that they had to move to live in the Zhuangzi, and their own house was thrown there, and they would rather be deserted than dare to go back. ”

"Who died? How did he die? Du Ruo asked, and after asking, he felt that there seemed to be something else that had not been clarified, "No, I haven't figured it out yet, how did the ghost house change from an ordinary house to a murderous house?" ”

"This ...... I don't know this very well, I just heard my uncle say that female ghosts cry at night, evil ghosts kill people in the haunted house, and the others don't dare to ask so carefully. The scholar hurriedly shook his head, "The people of Tonghe County now know that the house is very fierce, let alone live in it, even if it is the alleys left and right, no one dares to go to it."

No one in Tonghe County dared to talk about that house, so even if I wasn't afraid and wanted to inquire, I really couldn't inquire.

Not to mention ......"

He didn't say it completely, but judging from his face and expression, this young scholar was really scared, and he didn't lie at all.

"Then your uncle should know what kind of family lived in that house before it became a ghost house and a murderous house, right?" Seeing this, Du Ruo also knew that this kind of thing could not be forced, and it was not the same thing to ask hard, so he retreated to the second.

"I didn't ask, but I think I know by and large." The scholar nodded, "He has lived behind that ghost mansion for almost twenty years, if there was a murderous mansion and a ghost mansion in front of him at that time, he probably wouldn't have chosen to move his family to that kind of place to settle down." ”

As soon as Du Ruo heard this, his heart became a lot more steady, and he felt that this trip was finally not in vain: "Then can you help us repair a book, and let us visit your uncle?" ”
