Reading: Beginning as the Dean of the Academy

Chapter 15
The next morning.

As soon as the sky turned white, Su Le drove to the gate of Xinzhou Hotel and waited.

Although the woman turned her back very quickly, the matter of Qingmei must be resolved. There are so many women in Xinzhou, but Qingmei chose to possess her. Maybe this woman really knows something.

After a while, Chen Xinyu walked out of the hotel gate, wearing a chiffon shirt with a casual suit on her upper body, a proper urban beauty, not to mention her exquisite appearance.

"This woman doesn't look like Xinzhou City."

This kind of urban high-level white-collar workers who only appear in TV dramas, appearing in a fourth-tier city like Xinzhou, is always a little bit out of harmony.

Chen Xinyu saw Su Le's car, saw that Su Le was sitting in the driver's seat and did not get down, frowned, but still opened the back seat door and got in.

"Go to Mating Village."

"What are you doing there?"

Su Le was a little puzzled, but Chen Xinyu didn't intend to answer. Su Le curled her lips when she didn't get an answer. This woman... Forget it, bear with it today, and I won't serve after today.

Ma Ting Village is a village on the outskirts of Xinzhou City. Su Le is not familiar with it, but there is no fear of not knowing the way with navigation. After an hour, the car drove into the village.

"Then...well, what's your name, I can't keep calling you hello."

"Chen Xinyu."

"Chen Xinyu...Miss Chen, we have entered the village now, and then..."

"parking."

Chen Xinyu suddenly asked to stop, Su Le stepped on the brakes, and Chen Xinyu got out of the car without explaining to Su Le, and walked towards the old man sitting at the door of a house not far away.

Su Le got out of the car right after him with doubts. When he walked in front of that family and saw the furnishings inside, he immediately guessed what the family was doing.

This is the home of the fortune teller.

Is Miss Chen looking for the fortune teller to catch Qingmei?

Hiring a Taoist priest is more reliable than hiring these gentlemen.

"Master Zhang, this time, I have something to ask you. Didn't your ancestors have too much contact with that old Taoist priest back then?"

Chen Xinyu cut to the chase. Early this morning, she sent a message to Mr. Yang asking for the address of Master Zhang's home. After learning the address, she decided to visit him.

Because she was skeptical that it was Mr. Zhang's ancestors who guarantied Shen Yancheng.

"Manager Chen, no more."

Master Zhang shook his head. He knew this because his ancestors mentioned it in his notes and passed it down.

Su Le, who was listening to the conversation between Chen Xinyu and Master Zhang, knew that he was wrong when he heard this, but he was even more puzzled, what was the relationship between Master Zhang and the old Taoist priest?
What puzzled him even more was how Chen Xinyu knew this. Could it be that he went back to investigate at night, but he could find clues in one night? This energy...is not trivial.

Su Le thought wrongly, but hit the right way.

"Miss Chen, do you think that Master Zhang's ancestor is the farmer with the surname Zhang?"

"It's very possible." Chen Xinyu answered Su Le's words this time, but unfortunately, after asking for a long time, this master Zhang couldn't give any useful clues.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?
Su Le, who heard the passing clearly, thought of another possibility, and asked, "Master Zhang, you must sweep the tomb every Qingming."

"This is for sure. Our Zhang family is a big family. Every year, a large family has to sweep many tombs. Some people can only trace back three to five generations of their ancestors, but our family can trace back more than ten generations." Master Zhang Some proudly said.

"Are the tombs swept by your relatives? I mean, is there any special tomb?"

Chen Xinyu also understood the meaning of Su Le's words, and looked at Master Zhang with a look of anticipation and nervousness, because this will be the last chance.

"If you say that, there is really a tomb, but there is no tombstone in that tomb. It is just behind the tomb of our great-great-grandfather. Our ancestors once told us that every time we go to visit the tomb, we should pay homage to that tomb."

Su Le and Chen Xinyu looked at each other, their eyes lit up almost at the same time, it is very likely that the tomb belonged to Shen Yancheng.

"Master Zhang, can you take us to the cemetery?"

"Yes, the tomb is just outside our village, not very far away."

……

Outside the village, behind the cemetery of Zhang's great-great-great-grandfather, there is a small earthen dump. There is no tombstone, but only a few piled stones. Su Le reached out to break the stones. Master Zhang saw that he wanted to stop it, but Chen Xinyu opened his mouth first.

"Master Zhang, this cemetery is very likely related to that baby girl, we want to verify it."

When it comes to baby girls, Master Zhang no longer stops him.

"Sure enough."

Su Le broke off a stone and engraved the word "Yan" on the other side of the stone, while the other two stones were "Shen" and "Zhi".

This tomb is definitely Shen Yancheng's cemetery, and the other stones may have been washed away by the rain.

"Finding Shen Yancheng's tomb, I can finally explain to Qingmei."

Su Le let out a long sigh of relief, although he didn't know why Li Shilang didn't set his ashes on Shen Yancheng, why Shen Yancheng's body came to Xinzhou from the capital thousands of miles away, but he finally found it.

And at this moment, a gust of cold wind hit, both Su Le and Chen Xinyu felt a chill, they looked at each other and knew that Qingmei should be coming.

Thinking of the female ghost with green eyebrows standing on the side at this moment, Su Le didn't dare to take a breath, and Chen Xinyu was the same. Only Master Zhang didn't know what happened, and muttered: "Why is it suddenly windy, sand Dust got in the eyes."

After stretching out his hand and rubbing his eyes, Master Zhang's expression suddenly became very excited. He pointed forward and said, "I...I can see clearly!"

For Master Zhang, the reason why he embarked on this line of work was not because of any special talent, nor was it a skill passed down in his family, but because he was born with poor eyesight and cataracts. of.

Relying on the little fur that his ancestors learned from the old Taoist priest, plus his own research, he became famous, and finally he was able to rely on this road to support his family.

But now, he found that he could see things clearly, instead of a vague outline, how could he not be excited?
"The green eyebrow repays the favor."

Su Le said softly, he thought of this possibility, Qingmei had eaten the milk of Master Zhang's ancestors at the beginning, this is Qingmei's kindness back then.

Chen Xinyu also understood the meaning of Su Le's words, and her fear was reduced a bit. If a ghost can repay her kindness, it means that Qingmei is not the kind of bloodthirsty ghost.

As for why the workers got the strange disease, she also investigated clearly. These people secretly did some disgraceful things at night, they were unfaithful to their wives, and Qing Mei punished them for getting sick.

"I will send someone to collect the bones, and then build a new grave."

Chen Xinyu opened her mouth, but Qingmei didn't show up, it's just that the wind was stronger, and the few stones that Su Le had broken out were blown back to their original positions.

"Shen Yancheng has been buried in the ground for hundreds of years, so it's better not to move it. Miss Qingmei thinks that's what she meant. Let the old master burn more incense in the future."

Su Le understood Qingmei's meaning, that the grave was not allowed to be moved, and after listening to Su Le's explanation, Master Zhang immediately promised that he would keep an eye on him in the future, not only would he come to sweep the grave, but also let the descendants Come to visit the grave, as long as there are still people in the Zhang family, the tomb will not lose its incense.

Because according to tradition, Qingmei can also be regarded as his ancestor.

In ancient times, if a daughter-in-law was short of milk, and the baby was raised by someone with enough milk, the child would be recognized as an old mother, and she would be a mother who was a filial mother, and she had to wear sackcloth and filial piety after death.

From this relationship point of view, the Zhang family's grandma Zeng Zeng Zeng is also considered a green-browed old lady, and Master Zhang should sweep the grave.

Two hours later, Su Le returned to the academy. This time, Chen Xinyu didn't ask Su Le to take her to the hotel, and got off the car and left when they reached the city.

"Dean, come back, come with me!"

Before entering the gate of the academy, Su Le saw Shen Qing standing at the door. Shen Qing's expression was very frightened, which made Su Le's heart skip a beat. Could it be that the matter has not been resolved yet, and Qingmei came again?
"Dean, look over there!"

Shen Qing pointed to the left side of the academy wall, Su Le looked along, and there was an extra tree growing over there.

"Brother Shen, is this the tree you planted?"

"Dean, where did I plant it? This tree appeared suddenly, and it was just a sapling an hour ago, but now it is so big."

"You're playing with me..."

The word "laugh" was not uttered, because Su Le saw that the tree had grown a bit taller.

"Dean, this is a ginkgo tree, which is his masterpiece."

Su Le knew who Shen Qing was referring to by "that person", and it must be Qingmei, but what did Qingmei want to do?
"The ginkgo tree belonged to the academy back then, but today it's just returned to its original owner."

A cold voice came from beside his ear, Su Le understood that it was Qingmei talking, so he didn't worry anymore.

But the next moment he thought of a very important matter, and quickly shouted to Shen Qing: "Brother Shen, quickly persuade all the tourists in the academy to leave, the academy will be closed for a few days."

A fast-growing tree, if it was discovered, it would not cause a sensation.

Although Su Le wanted to make the academy more and more famous, he didn't want it to be this way.

"Dean, seeing the speed at which this tree appeared and growing, I persuaded the tourists away from the academy, and I personally guarded the gate of the courtyard, not allowing anyone to come in."

"Brother Shen, you are right."

Su Le gave Shen Qing a compliment, then closed the gate of the academy, and then called the two aunts who were in charge of cleaning, telling them that the academy is closed for a few days, and they don't need to use it to clean the academy.

After a few days, even if someone finds that there is an extra ginkgo tree in the academy, he can still use the excuse that it was transplanted from another place.
