Urban Dreams Come True System

Chapter 474, winding path leading to seclusion
Qian Mancang was startled. When he looked carefully, he realized that he had been blinded. It turned out that a branch of the tree extended to the corner of the small rooftop.

Qian Mancang thought to himself: What a tall tree, the height of the branches can extend to the height of the third floor. If you climb to this branch, you should be able to come to this small rooftop.

Qian Mancang was pleasantly surprised by his sudden flash of thought. If that person followed the branches back and forth, things would work completely. Why didn't I think of this before.

Qian Mancang picked up his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, and shined on the extended branch, only to find that the branch was abnormally smooth, and the upper part of the branch could be stepped on. In some places, the small branches and leaves were artificially broken off, making them more suitable for climbing. Climb, obviously someone has been here.

With this surprise, Qian Mancang jumped to the branch of this big tree. There was a smooth trace on the whole tree, all the way to the grass under the tree. It seemed that someone had been following this tree. The tree goes to the hut on the roof.

Not only on the tree, but also on the grass under the tree, there is a faint trace leading to other places. Although it is very hidden and there are signs of someone deliberately covering it up, everything is exposed under Qian Mancang's keen observation, because it has already When we arrived at the back of the school, a place where few people went, it became even more suspicious.

The faint traces on the grass all pointed in the same direction, the hill behind the school. Almost no one came here. After several twists and turns, the traces on the grass led to a path. At the end of the path was an old bungalow. The bungalow was ten meters away. The outside is covered with weeds, and a wooden fence is enclosed within ten meters. Not only are there no weeds inside the fence, but various unknown flowers and plants and several osmanthus trees are also planted, making the bungalow very beautiful. There are remnants of the ancient times, and it is as quiet and beautiful as a paradise.

Although it is still within the scope of the school, it has been almost forgotten by the school. At the beginning, a bungalow was built here to serve as an observation station to test the environmental quality. Later, a more suitable location was found, and it became deserted after it was withdrawn.

"Is there anyone living there? Why haven't I heard of it?" With this question, Qian Mancang prepared to visit the owner here.

A small path in the middle of the house leads directly to the door, and now the door of the house is closed, and the flowers and plants planted on both sides of the path are well arranged, giving it a special charm.

"Who are you?" Just as Qian Mancang was about to knock on the door, a man with gray hair turned out from behind the house, holding a watering can in his hand, he must have been watering the flowers and plants behind the house just now water.

Just as Qian Mancang was about to ask and answer the man's words, the man suddenly approached Qian Mancang excitedly as if seeing someone he knew, and grabbed Qian Mancang's hand, asking Qian Mancang, "What date is it today? Is it Chinese Valentine's Day?"

Qian Mancang was thinking about the date, Qixi Festival is July [-]th in the lunar calendar, which is the traditional Valentine's Day, and it is in August in the Gregorian calendar. Now it is already September, so naturally it has passed, Qian Mancang wanted to shake his head and say no.

But the man said excitedly: "It must be, right? I'm going to see Xiaolan." The man hurriedly put down the water bottle in his hand, took Qian Mancang's hand and was about to leave, "Take me to see Xiaolan, okay? , I invite you to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made."

Qian Mancang looked puzzled, he didn't know Xiaolan at all, besides, today is not Qixi Festival, this person must have mental problems, this place is very weird, I can't continue to entangle, Qian Mancang was scared to death and flee.

After listening to Qian Mancang's description, Principal Chen took Qian Mancang to the school's archives. In a personnel appointment file, he found an old personnel file: Lan Ningzi, national special painter, specially appointed by Northern University Professor of Painting, Department of Fine Arts,,,

There is also a personal photo of Lan Ningzi in the file. When he was young, Lan Ningzi was still very handsome, with bright eyes, mighty eyebrows, and a heroic spirit in his poetry and calligraphy. He was simply a girl killer. .

Principal Chen asked: "If there is no mistake, it should be this person. Take a good look."

Qian Mancang thought about the gray-haired man he had just met, and then looked at the young man in the file photo. The appearance was so different that if he did not observe carefully, he would not notice the difference in appearance between the two men. Somewhat similar, the changes brought about after experiencing the gap of time.

Qian Mancang shook his head first, then looked at it seriously for a while, then nodded and said: "If you don't look carefully, you can hardly believe that they are the same person. Although they are much older than when they were young, the basic appearance is still there. He Who is it, Principal Chen, do you know him? Why did he appear in that place?" Qian Mancang almost threw out a series of questions, waiting for Principal Chen's answer.

Principal Chen picked up the file and said with emotion: "This is Teacher Lan Ningzi. Together with another painter Wu Liangliang, he is called the two great masters by friends in the calligraphy and painting circles. Lan Ningzi is called a ghost, and Wu Liangliang is called a genius." He was called a genius and caused a sensation at the time. Later, Lan Ningzi was specially hired to teach painting in our school. When Teacher Lan Ningzi taught in our school, I had not yet become the president of Northern University. At that time, Teacher Lan Ningzi’s He was very popular and was the idol of almost all the girls in our school. At that time, I was almost impressed by his charm. Unfortunately, something happened later that completely changed the fate of Teacher Lan Ningzi."

Qian Mancang asked curiously, "What happened?"

Principal Chen said with some regret: "At that time, apart from the two great masters in the field of calligraphy and painting, there was also a female painter whose attainments were not much worse than theirs, and what was even more rare was that she was a beautiful woman who was especially good at creating figure paintings. Known as the female version of Wu Daozi."

Qian Mancang: "So powerful."

Principal Chen: "At that time, the number of people who wanted to pursue her was too many to count. Both Lan Ningzi and Wu Liangxin fell in love with this female painter, and declared that she would not marry unless she was the only one. She had a good impression of Wu Liangxin, although this female painter liked Wu Liangxin more in her heart, she suddenly separated when she was about to marry Wu Liangxin. It may be this experience that made her very disappointed in Wu Liangxin, and then I chose to associate with Lan Ningzi."

Qian Mancang: "It's really a complicated relationship between men and women."

Principal Chen: "I heard that this beautiful painter didn't agree to Lan Ningzi's marriage proposal because Wu Liangxin returned home suddenly. I don't know if it caused the trouble. This beautiful painter died inexplicably in his own home. .”

Qian Mancang: "Could it be that love breeds hatred?"

Principal Chen: "As for how she died, everyone has different opinions. Some people say that she attracted bees and butterflies, and finally caused her death. Some people say that she was killed by Wu Liangxin's jealousy. Others say that she Overwork caused her to die from a heart attack,,, in short, her death became the biggest hot topic at the time, and in the end the staff didn't find out what was the result, they just let it go, it's really a beauty from ancient times.
