Human bones!
The next day!
The rain had stopped.
Early in the morning, Lang Po ordered for the carriage to be brought to the entrance of the academy. Everything was loaded onto the carriage.
Teacher Yu also woke up early to see them off.
Meanwhile, in Lin Shu's room.
He got up from the bed with a pale face. He pressed one hand on his shoulder and the other on his waist. His face was contorted from the pain in these two places.
He walked to the table and sat down. Just as he was about to pour himself a drink of water, someone ran in.
"Lin Shu, I brought you something good."
It was a short man.
With a sneaky look, he hid his hands behind his back and sat down with a smile. "I've brought something good. I'm sure it'll be useful."
"What is it?"
The man stretched out his hand and placed a pot of wine in front of him.
Seeing that it was wine, Lin Shu immediately wrinkled his nose and frowned. "Wine? Why did you bring this? "
"Weren't you bitten by a snake? Although it was raised in the academy, what if it's poisonous? I saw that you don't look well, so I wanted to find some medicine for you. I brewed this wine with herbs from my hometown overnight. Apply it on your wound. I promise it will be effective. "
"Take it away."
Lin Shu was disgusted.
"But you were bitten by a snake. This medicine is very effective. Just apply it. This is a good medicine from my hometown."
"I already said I'm fine. Wasn't it just a bite from a snake? Could it be that someone would die? Besides, alcohol is not allowed in the academy. It will be terrible if Teacher finds out. "
The man smiled. "Teacher doesn't have time to care about us. Those people are leaving now. Teacher is sending them off. He can't care about us."
As he spoke, the man opened the cork of the wine pot and reached out to apply the medicine on Lin Shu.
Lin Shu reached out to push it away.
The two pushed back and forth. Suddenly, the wine pot fell to the ground with a bang.
The wine spilled out!
The two were stunned.
Lin Shu immediately covered his nose and jumped two meters away.
At this moment, Mo Ruo appeared at the door. He looked at the scene with interest and smiled. "Didn't you say that Teacher Yu set a rule that wine is not allowed in the academy? I didn't expect that there would be someone secretly drinking. How interesting. "
"What nonsense are you talking about? We didn't drink." The short man hurriedly squatted down to pick up the broken pieces of porcelain.
"Alright, alright, don't be nervous. I won't snitch on you. In this world, if you don't crave for wine, then you've lived in vain." Mo Ruo stepped into the room and placed the things he had brought on the table. He said to Lin Shu, "This is medicine that specializes in treating all kinds of snake venoms. I also gave you some extra to prevent you from plucking the tiger's fur in the future."
Sarcasm!
Lin Shu's face turned green.
He covered his nose and mouth, unable to speak.
Mo Ruo sneered and turned to leave. He secretly glanced back, but in the end he didn't say anything and left.
At the entrance of the academy!
Teacher Yu supported himself with a walking stick to send them off.
Jing Rong bowed to him. "Teacher Yu, there is no need to send me off. If there is a chance in the future, I will visit again."
"Young Master Jing, you must be extra careful on this trip."
"Yes."
He cupped his hands and bowed again.
In the carriage, Tang Si rubbed her knees and complained, "This is the first time in my life that I have knelt for so long. What kind of lousy academy is this? In the future, I will definitely destroy this place."
Ji Yunshu said, "Miss Tang, the person you are kneeling to is the sacred ancestor. There is no harm in kowtowing more."
"Those are not Bodhisattvas or gods. Why should I worship them? Can they bless me with longevity? "
"Suffering is a blessing. After suffering this, you should be more careful next time. You should also control your temper."
Tang Si was speechless.
Ji Yunshu looked at her knees and her heart softened. "I will talk to Mo Ruo later and let him take a look at you."
"I don't want to!" She turned around angrily.
This child!
Suddenly...
"Bad news!"
Someone shouted. The voice came from afar and reached the entrance of the academy.
Ji Yunshu lifted the curtain and looked outside. She saw a sweaty student running over and stammering to Teacher Yu, "Teacher, bad news. The back of the mountain … the well in the back of the mountain …"
Teacher Yu never liked people making noise. He frowned and asked, "What happened in the well?"
"Someone … died in the well!"
Ugh!
Someone died?
The crowd was in an uproar.
It seemed that they could not leave today.
Soon, the sound of the cauldron bell rang out in the academy.
Everyone gathered beside the well in the back of the mountain.
Few people would come to the back of the mountain. It had long been deserted. The surrounding trees were towering, fallen leaves were scattered everywhere, and there was a chilling wind. It was very cold and eerie. In the middle of the trees was a mottled and abandoned well. Around it were piles of dead leaves and miscellaneous things. Beside it was a wooden basin that had fallen to the ground. Next to the basin was a pile of messy … bones.
Yes, bones!
But to be more precise, they were human bones!
At a glance, there were two ulnae, one radius, two healthy femurs, a few ribs, and some scattered phalanges and phalanges …
But there was no human skull!
Beside the human bones, there was a person sitting paralyzed. It was Fatty Lu, who was chased away from the hot spring last night. At this moment, his face was pale and his eyes were lifeless. It was obvious that he was scared out of his wits.
When everyone saw the pile of bones, they were so shocked that they quickly retreated to the sides.
Those students who only knew how to study had never seen such a thing!
Teacher Yu, on the other hand, was very calm, but his expression was slightly tense. After pondering for a while, she looked at Fatty Lu who was being helped up.
She asked in a low voice, "Zhou Lu, what happened?"
Fatty Lu trembled, his eyes filled with fear. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "I … I don't know."
He shook his head vigorously!
He stammered for a while, then continued, "There were too many people bathing last night, so I came here to bathe. But when I fetched the water, I found that there were bones in the wooden basin. I was scared, and … fainted."
He pointed at the pile of incomplete bones!
The person who went to inform Teacher Yu also added, "When I passed by, I heard Zhou Lu scream, so I hurried over to take a look, and found …"
He did not continue!
Teacher Yu nodded in understanding and called for the apprentice beside him, "Quickly go and report to the authorities. Ask them to come over."
The apprentice was also scared out of his wits. He nodded and replied, "Yes!"
He then hurried off.
Teacher Yu then said, "A few people come and clean up the bones. Bring them to the front and wait for the authorities to come."
A few of the more daring ones stepped forward and took off their coats, preparing to wrap up the bones.
At this moment …
"Wait!"
Someone came out from the crowd.
Ji Yunshu walked to the pile of bones and said, "These human bones have been damaged. They can't be moved a second time. Even if they want to be moved, they can't be moved like you did."
Teacher Ji?
Someone retorted, "It's a pile of bones, why can't it be moved? Are we just going to leave it here? Are we going to wait for the authorities to come and take it? "
She said indifferently.
