Chapter 416 Extra [-]: The Snake Girl Meets Long Academy with Tenderness
There are several villages at the foot of Chuilong Mountain. A school is hidden in the bamboo forest. The teacher in the school walks slowly between the halls with his hands behind his back, reciting the saint's articles. More than a dozen students in the hall repeat the words, swaying left and right.

The school is called "Jianlong Academy", and all the nearby students learn here.

Among them are children of six or seven years old, as well as teenagers. As the teacher said, as long as they are good at learning and willing to learn, they can come. Education does not hinder poverty, even if they only bring some rice, or family specialties, or even wild fruits. , wood, can be exchanged for academic qualifications.

This day, a woman in white came to Jianlong Academy with a little girl.

The little girl looks no more than ten years old. She is smart and smart. She is wearing a small cyan skirt. She has clear eyebrows and is a beautiful woman.However, compared with the woman in white who brought her here, she is naturally much inferior. The beauty of this woman in white can only be described as 'the appearance of a fairy'.

It's really just the right amount of beauty, and it also has a temperament, which is literary and intelligent at heart. It's the kind of temperament that is full of poetry and books, and has the world in mind.Even the old gentleman who taught him didn't dare to take a second look after seeing it.

"Sir, my sister also wants to come to study literature. I hope you will accept this small gift." The woman in white was very polite.

What she brought were two deer deer and wild boars, as well as mountain ginseng and a little gold and silver. She put them on a wooden cart and was pushed over by a big man with a black beard, like a domestic slave.

The old gentleman who taught took a look and realized that this was a wealthy family. The clothes he wore showed that his family background was extraordinary, and the things he received were quite good.Most of these scholars were poor. The old man stared at the wild boar and deer, thinking about the last time he ate meat.

agreed.

There was no obstacle. Although most of the schools were dominated by men, there were also women studying literature. The dynasty did not prohibit female bachelors, but they could not take part in the provincial examinations and could not be officials.

"By the way, I don't know your sister's name?"

"My name is Bai Su, and my sister's name is Xiang Ying!"

Outside the school, Bai Su took Xiang Ying's hand and explained carefully what he could and couldn't do.

"It is your request to come here to study literature and etiquette. This is the human world, unlike in the mountains where you can act arbitrarily. You have to control your temper. If you get into trouble, see how I deal with you. Of course, you can't do it. When you are bullied, just remember that I will not offend others unless they offend me. If you really cause any trouble and make trouble, if you are justified, I will definitely support you to the end."

"Sister, can't you stay here with me?"

"Sister, I have learned this a long time ago. You are always disobedient. It's time for you to learn the rules."

The sisters have a deep love, and after some explanation, Bai Sucai left.

It was a long way into the mountains, so Bai Su arranged for his sister to live in a nearby farmer's home and gave her money as a foster care.

Every day, Xiang Ying was the first to run into the school. It only took him one winter to go from not knowing a word to reading through the books of sages.Such talent is extremely rare, and naturally it shocked everyone. The old gentlemen in the school always said that if Xiang Ying were born as a boy, he would definitely be able to gain fame and achieve great achievements.

The students in the school are also very envious.

Naturally, anything beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. At least it will definitely attract jealousy, especially some older students. The teacher always praises this baby, which makes them lose face. As time goes by, the resentment deepens. , so someone suggested playing with the baby.

"That's great." Several students hit it off immediately.

"How can a dignified man, with a woman on his head, let her know how powerful he is?" A student had long been holding his breath.

"Don't use force against women, that's not what a man should do." Someone put forward the bottom line.

"That's natural. We are not despicable people. We are just playing with her, but we will not hurt her in the slightest. We have to let her understand that women must rely on men at any time." One person seemed to have a plan in mind, and said: "Yes. Well, this Xiangying likes obedient books and storyteller's legendary gossip, so I started with this. I heard that there is an old house over there in Hucun, which is haunted. Of course, in the eyes of us scholars, there are no ghosts, they are all strange and chaotic. God said. It's just that at night, the old house is eerie and a bit scary. Think about it, if a woman like her were to be lured there, she would be scared to death. "

"It's just a scare, so there's nothing wrong with it. We can also vent the bad breath that she has suppressed over our heads."

"Then let's say that there is a storyteller in the old house telling ghost stories at night. Let's go with her. She will relax her guard when the time comes. Then we will wait for an opportunity to escape, leaving her alone, and we will make sure she makes a fool of herself."

"So good."

In the school, several students secretly plotted the matter, and after the plan was formulated, it was implemented.

Finished class in the afternoon.

"Xiang Ying, I'll make an appointment to go to Hucun to play. You can come too." A senior student came over and said with a smile on his face.

From the appearance, Xiang Ying is only a girl of about ten years old, with a little baby fat still hanging on her face. She is currently holding a copy of 'Miscellaneous Notes of the Thatched Cottage' and reading it with relish.

Caotang Miscellaneous Notes are all kinds of "legends" written by country scholars with little future prospects based on folklore, that is, random novels.

It’s not about neatness, it doesn’t matter whether it’s reasonable or not, it’s just for one purpose, to look good.

"No, I've been to Hucun. There's nothing to do. It doesn't matter what you want." Xiang Ying didn't even raise her head. For her, going out to waste time would be better than reading more of this interesting story.

She learned literacy just to be able to read.

As for the so-called principles and etiquette in the book, she didn't care about it. This was completely different from her sister's temperament. Bai Su wanted to get in touch with mortals and learn their essence, while Xiang Ying just wanted to have fun and find freedom.

"There is an old house over there in Hucun. I heard it is haunted. Moreover, the haunted ghost is the best at telling stories, which is very interesting." A senior said with a mysterious look on his face.

Anyone who has never seen a ghost will have a natural curiosity about novel and weird things.

Especially women. "A ghost who can tell stories?" Sure enough, Xiang Ying raised his head, his eyes shining brightly.

When several seniors saw this, they secretly thought that they would take the bait.

But you have to work harder to get the other person to suppress their fear and raise their curiosity.

"Regardless of whether there are ghosts or not, we scholars have a great spirit in our hearts and are not afraid of any ghosts and gods. Besides, we will go there with many people this time, and everyone will be together, having fun, wouldn't it be fun?"

What this senior said makes sense.

Xiang Ying was indeed attracted, she thought about it, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will go with you. If you can really meet a ghost who can tell stories, that will be a good thing. If you can't, it will be just a distraction. "

These words sounded like bragging to those seniors.

Is encountering a ghost a good thing?
This girl is really good at blowing things, but it's okay. When the time comes, you can find someone to pretend to be a ghost in advance to scare her and play tricks on her.

She lost all face like this, and it looks like she can still be arrogant in the future.

So several people went to Hucun together with their own thoughts.

Hucun is not far from Jianlong Academy. A few people chatted and laughed, recited poems and composed poems. They had already entered the village when it was getting dark.

One of the few people whose home is in Hucun said that they could stay at his house for the night.

When it got dark, they lit the lanterns they brought and went to the old house together.

"Many years ago, a group of locals came to settle in the village and built a house like this. However, they only lived there for less than half a year when something unexpected happened. This family was completely wiped out. At that time, people in eight villages in ten miles were killed. Everyone was shocked."

"I've also heard that a lot of people from the government came. It seems that the state government also came to arrest the gods, but nothing was found."

"No matter what was found, it was not announced, but I heard that it was robbers who stole property and killed people."

"The people here are simple and honest. Where did the robbers come from? Anyway, my family has lived here for generations and I have never heard of robbers. There is no precedent of entering the village to kill people and steal property..."

Several seniors were discussing as they walked.

The events they described were quite mysterious.

"Is that family's surname Feng?" At this time, Xiang Ying asked.

The local student from Hucun heard this and nodded: "Yes, your surname is Feng. It seems that Xiang Ying has also heard of it?"

Xiangying nodded.

Nothing more was said.

"This is not surprising. It was indeed a big deal back then. Many people know about it. I also know that eleven members of the Feng family died, and even the family dog ​​was not spared."

"Because of this, no matter how well-built the Feng family's house was, no one dared to live in it, so it became a haunted house. Later, someone once saw the eleven members of the Feng family in that old house in the middle of the night. They are walking around, they say they are walking, but in fact they are floating... Moreover, their faces are all pale and they look like ghosts!"

The tone of the student who spoke this passage was very expressive. Don't talk about others. Anyway, after he finished speaking, he got goosebumps all over his body and his calf muscles twisted in fear.

Several other students were also immersed in this terrifying atmosphere and couldn't extricate themselves. Some began to retreat and thought about leaving.

But the few masterminds didn't want the cooked duck to fly away. The sage said: A gentleman follows the road and gives up halfway. I can't do it.

You can't drop the chain, you have to scare Xiang Ying so much that he wets his pants.

At that moment, several people secretly communicated with each other and moved forward bravely.

The place where the old house was built is also quite strange. It is not connected to other villagers. It is independent at the foot of a mountain. It is at least a hundred steps away from other villagers' residences.

At this moment, when I arrived in front of the door, I saw weeds everywhere, walls collapsed and windows broken, the house was pitch black, and the wind made a whining sound.

Although they have already retreated in their hearts, there is no way that these students will stop here.

Moreover, the students they arranged to fight ghosts also came here before them.

"walk into."

The leading student held a lantern, waved his hand, and walked directly inside.

But perhaps to embolden themselves, several students actually recited the song of righteousness at this moment: There is righteousness in the world, and it is mixed with manifolds.Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars.In the human world, it is so vast that it fills the sky.The imperial road should be the Qing Yi, Han and Tu Ming Ting...

Xiang Ying followed behind. At this time, she seemed to realize something. She raised her head and looked at the side of the eaves in front. Looking carefully, half of a human face was exposed on the upper edge of that side, staring coldly at the students.
