Chapter 149 - Strange Behavior at the Back of the Mountain
Chapter 149 Strange Behavior at the Back of the Mountain
Fei Cai explained it in detail.
Jiang Ping listened attentively.
After she finished speaking, Fei Cai took out a map and a book.
“This is the route map of your trip.”
“Remember that the notes in this book are what I told you just now, Mr. Jiang.”
“I was afraid that I couldn’t explain it clearly, so I wrote it down.”
“Not only that, but it also recorded the scenic spots that you will encounter along the way.”
“If you don’t mind the trouble, you can get off the boat and visit these places.”
“Because ferries usually dock for two or three days. They will only set off again after they restocked the supplies.”
Jiang Ping nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he took the map and the book.
Jiang Ping directly handed the map to Qiu Chi.
The book was given to Lei Jingyun, who liked to read travel notes. Then, he took out a bag from his storage space and placed it on the table.
The sound of rocks colliding could be heard from inside the bag.
“Director Fei Cai, thanks to your meticulous arrangements. This bag includes the cost of the tickets.
“Thank you again, Director Fei Cai.”
After Fei Cai sent the three of them out of the Hundred Treasures House.
She went back to the living room and opened the bag that Jiang Ping had given her.
When she opened it, Fei Cai was surprised at first, but then she smiled.
She had known from the beginning that it was the right choice to be on good terms with Jiang
Ping.
It was comfortable to deal with such a person.
It would not be a loss to do business with such a person.
Fei Cai put down the bag full of spirit stones.
She beckoned for the gatekeeper.
“Remember to send those carriages to the Jiang Mansion before dawn tomorrow.” “Don’t waste any time.”
The butler, Old Zhao, hurriedly nodded and bowed.
Then, he was about to leave.
Fei Cai suddenly called out to him.
“Old Zhao, it’s been a long time since you went home.”
“When this matter is over, go to the accountant, and get some more money, and I’ll give you a few days off.” Old Zhao was overjoyed and quickly thanked Fei Cai. Then, he immediately left the living room and went down to make arrangements for Fei Cai’s orders.
In the classroom, Yan’er was still listening attentively to the lesson while Liu’er was still seriously putting on an act in class.
Wan’er was still holding her little face with all her strength.
She could barely lift her eyelids. The little girl felt that the more engrossed the teacher was giving his lecture. The heavier her little head became.
Her also eyelids became heavier.
Her head was almost on the table, and the little girl suddenly sat up straight and shook her head.
No, this can’t go on.
She had to listen to the lesson well.
But not long after she made up her mind, Wan’er began to feel drowsy again. The teacher had noticed this little girl a long time ago. At first, he often reminded her.
Later, when he realized that it was useless, he was too lazy to say anything.
Just as the teacher was engrossed in his lecture, Wan’er suddenly stood up and raised her hand.
The teacher stopped reading the article.
“Jiang Wan’er, do you have any questions?”
Wan’er scratched her head in embarrassment.
“Sir, I don’t have any questions.”
“I’m just a little urgent.”
Wan’er’s words caused the classmates in the classroom to burst into laughter.
Yan’er looked at her elder sister with some disdain.
Liu’er did not care about it. She held a pen in her hand and wrote in the notebook.
The teacher said helplessly. “Go quickly, don’t delay everyone’s study progress.”
Wan’er ran out of the classroom in a flash.
After leaving the classroom, Wan’er didn’t go to the toilet.
She wandered around the school alone.
The little girl walked unsteadily with her hands behind her back.
When she told the teacher that she was in a hurry, it was so that she could come out and take a breather.
She was born unable to sit still, so she was feeling very depressed in the classroom.
Actually, this wasn’t Wan’er’s first time finding an excuse to leave the classroom.
The teacher also knew what Wan’er did when she left class, and he was too lazy to expose her.
As long as it didn’t affect other students’ having their lessons, he would turn a blind eye.
The school was very big, and basically, all the wealthy families in the city paid for the repairs.
There was a small pond and a bamboo forest on the other side of the mountain behind the school.
Every time the little girl left class, she would wander around this area.
When school was about to end, she would rush back to the classroom and follow her two younger sisters home.
At this time, as usual, Wan’er staggered towards the pond at the back of the mountain.
When she walked to the side of the pond, the little girl sat by the water.
It was autumn now, so it was not very cold.
The little girl took off her shoes and soaked her feet in the pond. Just as Wan’er put her feet in, a large group of young fish swam over and pecked at the little girl’s feet.
Wan’er enjoyed the feeling of numbness.
After putting her feet in, she leaned back against a rock that was even bigger than her own body.
Wan’er had just closed her eyes and started to enjoy it when she heard someone muttering.
“Master said that every blade of grass and every tree has their reason.”
“Then I’ll try to see if I can ‘block’ this reason.”
Wan’er felt a little strange when she heard that.
Why would someone else come to such a godforsaken place during class time?
Moreover, they were even saying something strange.
The little girl put on her shoes, climbed up the rock that was even bigger than her, and stuck her head out to look.
She saw that in the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain.
A young Taoist priest was wearing a navy blue Taoist robe and a silk scarf on his head.
The young Taoist priest looked about the same age as Wan’er.
At this moment, the young Taoist priest was squatting beside the bamboo forest, staring at a large bamboo.
He stared at it intently.
Wan’er thought to herself, was there something wrong with this person.
“Hey, who are you? Why haven’t I seen you before in our school?”
“You’re also wearing strange clothes and a hat. Are you here to steal something?”
The young Taoist priest did not turn his head after hearing Wan’er’s voice.
He still stared at the bamboo in front of him and said.
“My name is He Xiangjiang.”
After answering Wan’er’s question asking who he was, the young Taoist priest did not say anything else.
Wan’er saw that this person was so arrogant.
Forget about finishing answering the whole question.
When he answered the question, he did not even turn his head. He did not have any manners at all.
Wan’er leaped to He Xiangjiang’s side.
Then, she pressed the young Taoist priest down.
“Aiyo!”
“Heroine, please let me go.”
“We don’t have any feuds, right? There’s no need for us to fight right away.”
The young Taoist priest wailed.
Wan’er increased the strength in her hands.
“Now we have a feud.”
“Looking at you acting so sneakily, you’re definitely not a good person. I will hold you down and bring you to the teacher for interrogation.”
The young Taoist priest’s face was pressed against the soil as he panted heavily.
“I’m really not a bad person. My master is an old acquaintance of the headmaster of your academy.”
“We just happened to pass by to pay a visit.”
Wan’er carefully considered the words of the strange young Taoist priest in front of her.
Then, she slowly released him. “I still don’t believe you. Your behavior earlier was too strange.” “Unless you can explain to me what you’re doing.”
He Xiangjiang stood up and rubbed his shoulder that had been pressed red by the little girl just now.
He patted the soil on his body again.
