I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 25 Murder in the Dark Night
After school every day, Master Lin would still teach Zhan Feiyu alone for an hour.

"So a gentleman must be careful about his independence." Lin Fuzi's voice fell, and Zhan Feiyu took the next sentence smoothly, "Zeng Zi said: What ten eyes see, ten hands point to, it is strict... Therefore, a gentleman must be sincere in his intentions. ."

Master Lin spoke again: "The three schools are thoroughly comprehended with the "Yong"."

"The Master said: Xiangwei Pi Gong, the emperor Mu Mu, Xi took it from the three families?" Zhan Feiyu had already memorized the "Analects of Confucius", no matter which sentence Lin Master had drawn, he was always right.

"Master, I will start explaining the meaning to you today." Master Lin's clear voice sounded in the study, slowly explaining the meaning to Zhan Feiyu. Don't look at the "University" which is only more than 2000 words, but the "University" annotated to this book Chapters and Sentences was Zhu Xi's most diligent book, and he was still revising it the day before his death.

Outside the window, the sky was getting dark, Zhan Feiyu was like a sponge, madly absorbing the knowledge taught by Master Lin, asking questions from time to time, and listening to Master Lin's explanation after breaking it, he suddenly felt enlightened and relaxed.

"I'll be here today." As soon as Master Lin said these words, Zhan Feiyu was stunned, his face slumped, and his whole body was full of disappointment.

Seeing this, Master Lin couldn't help laughing. He pointed out the window and said, "Winter days are short and nights are long. From tomorrow, you should come to the private school half an hour earlier."

His eyes lit up, Zhan Feiyu grinned, and looked like he was taking advantage, "Thank you, Master, I will go to bed early and get up early."

Lin's private school is not far from Jinlin Village, but it is not safe to walk at night. Master Lin planned to let Uncle Dong send him a ride. Who knew that Zhan Feiyu was a flexible little fat man.

"Master, I'm leaving, Rhubarb will definitely come to pick me up!" Under the twilight, Zhan Feiyu hopped and ran away on his short legs, the cloth bag swaying diagonally, at first glance like a country girl .

"Xiaoyu still has such a lively side?" Lin Xiuyuan looked at the figure running far away in confusion. In his perception, this is a diligent and hard-working little junior sister, smart and wise, but also stable, not like a seven-year-old girl at all. .

"The words are just like people. Xiaoyu's words are neat but hidden." Master Lin concealed a trace of unease in his eyes. Wisdom will be hurt, and it is easy to break!
From Zhan Feiyu's usual words, Master Lin could vaguely perceive her sharp edge hidden under the rules. If everything went smoothly, Master Lin was only worried about Mu Xiuyu Lin, but she was not a person who would be resigned.

After entering October, it was getting darker and earlier, Zhan Feiyu hummed a little tune and walked home. When a slender shadow suddenly appeared behind him, Zhan Feiyu froze for a while, is there a ghost?

There is someone behind!Zhan Feiyu suppressed his unease, and continued to walk forward without changing his footsteps. The shadow was still there, but no footsteps could be heard. This is a trainer!
One side of the path is farmland, and the other side is mountain forest. Zhan Feiyu swerved to the right, and suddenly his foot slipped, and his small body fell to Xiaotugou with a thud.

"It's vigilant." The clear male voice was full of ridicule and disdain. He walked slowly towards the place where Zhan Feiyu "slipped" under the moonlight, step by step like a ghastly lullaby.

The earth ditch was deliberately dug by the villagers to avoid the mud and stones on the Tianshan mountain from the heavy rain rolling down and hurting people. leaf.

What about people?The expression of the man standing in front of Tugou changed suddenly, and the smugness that had been captured by his hand turned into a twisted and ferocious one, and his gloomy gaze carefully searched Tugou.

There are obviously traces of people slipping and dead branches that have been trampled and broken, but Zhan Feiyu, which should have appeared in the ditch, has disappeared.

The prey he got just disappeared in front of his eyes, which made the man's face even more distorted. Is there a dark groove or a tunnel?
Zhan Feiyu nestled on the branch of the tree, and his fat paws covered his mouth.But why did he kill himself?

The man hesitated for a moment, then suddenly jumped out of the ditch, his gloomy eyes glanced around like a poisonous snake, but he didn't find anyone, nor did he find any secret passage.

In the dark night, the man looked up at the dark mountain forest in front of him and suddenly let out a clear and pleasant laughter, but this voice was mixed with the rustling wind, but it was creepy.

"As expected of the goddess child praised by the county magistrate." The man smiled, took out the fire book from his body, slowly lit the dead leaves on the ground, and then picked up a dead branch and lit it.

However, on a tree branch as tall as one person, Zhan Feiyu held his breath. Although the man was disheveled, his eyes were obviously young people, but at the moment he looked eerie and morbid against the background of the fire.

The man smiled with the corners of his lips hooked, and the burning branch in his hand moved towards the grass on the ground. In an instant, the withered grass burst into flames when it encountered an open flame.

Set fire to a mountain?Zhan Feiyu, who was hiding in the tree, was glad that he had such a tasteless golden finger a moment ago. Although he was only invisible for half an hour, he at least saved his life.

But at this time, as the fire became more and more intense, Zhan Feiyu knew very well that if she continued to hide, she would only be suffocated, but if she jumped off the tree and escaped, although she could be invisible, the sound of her footsteps could not deceive anyone.

Fight!Zhan Feiyu clenched the "weapon" in his hand.

Said it was a murder weapon, but it was a gadget that she used to entangle Zhan's third son. A finger-length iron piece was sharpened and then set on the wood, like a shoddy dagger. Zhan Feiyu kept it in his schoolbag for self-defense. .

"Little girl, if you don't come out, you will be burned to death." The man's voice was cheerful but ill, his eyes looked at the forest illuminated by the fire, just waiting for Zhan Feiyu to escape uncontrollably.

Zhan Feiyu looked down at the man under the tree condescendingly, and after visualizing the distance, he clenched the "dagger" in his right hand, and rushed towards the man like a wild monkey.

In the darkness, at the moment when he was alert to the danger, the man turned around suddenly, there was nothing in front of him, but he was heavy.

When Zhan Feiyu threw himself on the man, the dagger held high in his right hand instantly slashed towards his neck artery, blood splashed, and when the man reacted, he knocked Zhan Feiyu out of his body with a palm.

Hit the tree trunk with a bang, Zhan Feiyu hunched his body in pain, rolled on the ground, and disappeared again.

The man's eyes widened, and he looked at the person who disappeared out of thin air in disbelief. The blood gurgled out from between his fingers, and his carotid artery was cut. No matter how strong he was, he would surely die.
