The school building was like a pot exploding, and hundreds of students were awakened by the screams.
"What's going on? What's going on? What's going on?" People asked each other one after another. They all came out of the house and came to the open space of the courtyard. Some people lit the wind lanterns with quick hands and feet. As strings of wind lanterns rose up, the scene in the courtyard came into view.
A dark, fat, half-naked student wearing unbuttoned shorts, with a dark face and only two eyes exposed, and hair disheveled, was running wildly in the courtyard, shouting: "There's a ghost... he's eating people."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Has this person lost his mind and gone crazy? He dressed like a ghost and even called others ghosts. During the discussion, someone from the maintenance committee had already brought Cao Min over.
Cao Min hurried over with several followers. Several people actually held throwing knives in their hands. Obviously, the maintenance student who reported the news said that the situation was very serious. Everyone made a way to let Cao Min and others come to the black-faced and shirtless man.
in front of people.
"Ghosts, man-eating ghosts..." The man huddled under the wall, burying his head and face in his knees and trembling like chaff.
Wouldn't it make people laugh if something like this happened on Cao Min's face and on Yu's first day in school? This kind of ridiculous thing has never happened in his territory. Looking at the man's embarrassment, he was furious and said sharply:
"Who are you? It's hard to sleep here in the middle of the night, why are you screaming and screaming? Look at how you look like a student of Yingtian Academy when you raise your head!"
The man raised his head and his face was filled with a hideous and terrifying expression. Except for the whites of his eyes and teeth, his face was completely black, and his lips were opening and closing. His white teeth looked particularly eye-catching under the light, and Cao Min was frightened.
Jump.
Cao Min took a step back and pointed his knife at the man's nose and said, "Who are you and what are you doing here pretending to be theistic?"
The man fell to the ground and knelt down and said: "Professor Cao, student Wu Heng, I am worried that there is a ghost in that room...it is a man-eating ghost. I beg you, professor, to go get it quickly. It scares me to death."
Cao Min's scalp was numb and he calmed down and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense. I am a dignified Yingtianfu Academy. I have Confucian saints to bless you. Where can you get such dirty things? I think you have lost your mind and gone crazy."
"No, Professor Cao really has a ghost, student... The student saw it with his own eyes, holding a child's hand and chewing it in front of me. His mouth was bleeding, and he came to bite the student's face. If the student hadn't escaped quickly, his face would have been chewed.
Half of it fell off..."
Wu Hengxin's words made everyone in the courtyard feel horrified. His hoarse tone echoed in the courtyard. Even though there were hundreds of people gathered in the courtyard, it suddenly felt like it was full of ghosts.
A gust of night wind swept over the wind lanterns hanging in the air and suddenly "pop" extinguished several of them. As soon as the light in the courtyard dimmed, the crowd started to stir and some people began to smash their lower teeth. Then some people moved their steps and prepared to escape outside the school building.
Cao Min was also a little frightened. He had heard too much about folk ghosts and ghosts. Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would be deceiving himself if he said he did not believe it at all. Today, when Wu Hengxin said that he had noses and eyes, he couldn't help but start to play a small drum in his heart.
However, in front of so many students, how can you be so frightened that you run away with just a few words? I'm afraid, but I have to hold on no matter what, how can hundreds of people here be afraid of a ghost?
Thinking of this, Cao Min shouted: "Don't panic, everyone. There is something fishy about this. Light up the lanterns. Let's take advantage of the guy. Let's go and find out who this ghost is and dares to run wild in the holy land of our academy."
Everyone admired Cao Min's courage, and some even cursed in their hearts: Why are you trying to be a hero in front of the ghosts? Don't mention that we have a few hundred people here, even a thousand people, so what?
However, everyone still followed Cao Min's instructions and lit up dozens of lanterns. Each of them dug out bricks. Some picked up sticks. Those who couldn't find anyone with good skills just grabbed handfuls of dust and grass on the ground, regardless of whether these things could resist it.
Ghosts, but I always feel unsteady without holding something in my hands.
Cao Min shouted to Wu Hengxin, who was still lying on the ground: "Lead the way!"
Wu Heng's heart shook like a rattle and said, "I don't dare to go unless I go."
Cao Min grabbed his hair and gritted his teeth in his ear: "So many people have been kept up all night by your torment. If you shrink back, if you are really evil, I will kill you first; if you don't
If you go, I will tie you up here and take the people away to teach the evil ghost to eat you till you are empty."
Wu Hengxin, the person in front of him who is so excited, is no better than a ghost. Before Wu Hengxin came to the academy, fellow Laizhou fellows had told him that he could offend anyone in the academy, but don’t offend Professor Cao; if you don’t offend him, then that’s it.
As a result, he basically had no choice but to go back home. Cao Cao's methods of punishing people were both promiscuous and harmful to the common people, and many scholars suffered a lot under his hands.
At this thought, Wu Hengxin knew that there was no way to escape. At the same time, the hundreds of people in front of him emboldened themselves to get up, turned around and led everyone through the criss-crossing corridors and slowly walked towards the south sixteenth room where he lived.
Everyone followed him step by step and squirmed forward, not even daring to make a sound. Hundreds of people crowded in the middle of the aisle, or someone stepped on someone else's foot. Those who were stepped on could only open their mouths and let out silent shouts and then glared.
But no one made the slightest sound. The discipline was suddenly so strict. I'm afraid this academy has been more stringent than ever in the decades since its establishment.
As we approached the south sixteenth room, we could see through the weak firelight that the door inside was ajar and pitch black, as if it was a big mouth ready to devour anyone who dared to approach.
Wu Hengxin refused to move forward anymore. She trembled and huddled behind a clerk, pointing half of her face at the door and her lips trembling.
Cao Min opened his mouth and took a few breaths. He exchanged glances with several of his subordinates who were holding simple knives. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and let out a shout and rushed towards the door first. Several of the subordinates also shouted and rushed towards the house.
Men Cao Min came to the door and protected his head and face with a simple knife. He kicked the door open with a flying kick and stepped back suddenly, holding the knife and concentrating on guarding against any evil spirits that might appear.
But when they saw the door being kicked open and closed, there was a squeaking sound, and the cool breeze blew and the lanterns in everyone's hands flickered; everyone's hearts were in their throats, and some people were getting ready to do something evil.
When the ghost appeared, he immediately ran away, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and he listened carefully, but he heard a slight snoring coming from the house.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Could it be that the evil ghost was still asleep in the house? It was strange that ghosts could also snore.
Xia Silin was so nervous when she was caught in the crowd. She knew that Su Jin was causing trouble from beginning to end, but she didn't expect that Su Jin could scare her roommate Wu Hengxin to such an extent and even talk nonsense about seeing ghosts eating children's hands.
I don’t know how this guy did it.
Cao Min no longer hesitated, stretched out his hand, pulled Wu Hengxin over to block him, and pushed him forward. Wu Hengxin was about to struggle. Cao Min flew up and kicked him on the butt. Wu Hengxin jumped into the room with the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Cao Min and several minor officials held up lanterns and rushed into the room with knives drawn horizontally. The several lanterns illuminated the room as if it were daytime. Cao Min's eyes quickly glanced around the room and he was dumbfounded.
The room was in a mess. Clothes, shoes, pillows and mats were everywhere. It looked like a scene that had just been robbed. But what made people dumbfounded was that there was a person lying on the couch, snoring loudly. He was holding a bamboo pillow with his hands and there was still happy saliva at the corner of his mouth. He must have been having a sweet dream.
.
Cao Min shouted at Wu Hengxin sternly: "Where is the evil ghost you mentioned? Is that the one lying over there?"
Wu Heng shook his head in fascination and muttered: "I don't know that when I opened my eyes in the middle of the night, I saw a fierce ghost with disheveled hair holding a child's hand and chewing in front of his eyes. His tongue was dragged to his chin. His mouth was full of blood and he was pointing at me.
Laughing."
Cao Min turned his head and contemplated the situation in front of him. It was too strange. The person lying on the bed was the one he knew. It was Su Jin who presented three pancakes as a gift today. The whole courtyard was in turmoil. This person was still asleep and he must be causing trouble at this moment.
I'm afraid he's just pretending to sleep.
Thinking of this, Cao Min leaned forward and shined a lantern on Su Jin's face. He saw that there was indeed something red and blood stained at the corner of Su Jin's mouth. He was suddenly startled, pointed the tip of his knife at Su Jin and shouted: "Who is that guy?"
If you're still pretending to be asleep, why don't you get up and give me a reply?"
Su Jin's snoring didn't stop, she clicked her lips twice and continued to sleep soundly.
"I asked you to pretend to chop off one of your legs. Let's see if you still pretend." Cao Min scolded through gritted teeth and shook the sword. The sword made a "wuwu" sound, exhaled and struck Su Jin's spread left leg.
Go down.
Xia Silin, who squeezed in, screamed in surprise and wanted to say something to stop it. It was too late to stop him. He saw the sword whining and slashing straight down with the sound of wind. Seeing that Su Jin's left leg was about to be separated from his body, Xia Silin covered it with his hands.
I couldn't bear to watch this bloody scene anymore, and I felt so regretful that I had harmed Su Jin. If I hadn't come to him and begged him to find a way to live outside, how could Su Jin have ended up like this?dd
