Once again pushing open the door of Aoshuang Academy, Ning Shu re-examined this dilapidated house that could only be described as shabby with the flickering light of the torch in her hand. It was as if she was examining the lazy teacher who only spoke a few words to her in a hurry and who reeked of alcohol. At first glance, he did not look like a good person. Now, she wanted to get to know him again, but she no longer had the chance.
Her footprints stepped on the courtyard where the children usually played, and then walked past the short stone block under the gloomy locust tree. She walked past the lanterns in the corner that were pierced by swords and knives. She also walked past the praying mats that were kicked over by the officials. She carefully scrutinized each and every one of them. Ning Shu said, "We have never known him, or in the past ten years, he has never let anyone know him."
"Over the years, he has pretended to be a complete scoundrel, addicted to alcohol, immoral, and profit-seeking. He has been so successful in his disguise that even his students have been deceived by him. And we have also fallen into the misunderstanding of peering at the leopard through a tube. However, he has never been such a person. "
"If he really worships the strong and tramples on the weak, then why are the few worthless lanterns sent by Qian Dongbao's family piled up in this corner and not thrown away after being scorched by the sun? If he is really addicted to money, why is he willing to be kind and extend the deadline for a few days when his students can't pay the tuition fees? If he is really a bad person, fierce, and frightening, how dare his students climb the tree, skip school, laugh, and refute his presumptuousness in his class? A cold face, pretended sharp words, and a careless attitude. His mask is so real that he has really kept all of us in the dark … "
Hui Mo and Zi Gui followed behind. They only felt their throats choking. No one could say anything. Only the tall locust tree made a silent answer.
Ning Shu walked to the corner of the wall and picked up a lantern that had been punctured with holes by the officials. She lit it up with a match and watched as the wick made a faint sound after being ignited. It jumped twice and turned into a large ball of light that illuminated the area in front of her.
"Come, let's go in and look around. Let's see what other secrets Yuan Wanting has hidden here."
Zi Gui nodded. The three of them once again ascended the short stone steps. They passed through the empty hall and arrived at Yuan Wanting's living room.
Hui Mo said with certainty, "Qian Dongbao must have disappeared here. At that time, after the little fat boy handed the things to us for his teacher, he ran away without saying anything. I chased after him at the front. Then I saw the little fat boy running in with my own eyes. I also heard the sound of the screen being pushed. If it wasn't him, could it be a ghost? But this house is only so big. We've searched every nook and cranny of this house, but we still can't find where the little fatty is hiding. It's really amazing! "
Ning Shu said, "Yuan Wanting's every move has a profound meaning. Before he died, he arranged for Qian Dongbao to give us the item, and then he disappeared right under our noses. It's definitely not as simple as playing with us. Is he trying to reveal some of our secrets through this? "
Hui Mo muttered, "Since he wanted to tell us the secret, why didn't he just say it directly? He tried his best to test us and gave us a series of difficult questions. Isn't he deliberately embarrassing us? "
There was no wind in the midsummer night. Just by standing there, they were drenched in sweat. It felt like water could be wrung out of their bodies. Ning Shu loosened her collar by about an inch and said, "Because he can't completely trust us. After ten long years of waiting, we may be a rare bit of expectation for him. However, we are complete strangers, and we have not even met once. How can he place all his hopes on us? After all, there are so many people in this world who appear to be gentlemen but are actually devils. Let's look around carefully. There must be hidden mechanisms in this house that we haven't found yet. "
