Chapter 226: Please Save the Headmaster

silly boy is truly a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, chattering away even in front of the magistrate.When someone simply asked if it was true, he started listing off all of Fang Jinshu's deeds one b...Zong Bai led the way, and the three of them arrived at the entrance of the academy.

President Qin's home is right here in the academy.

The academy's gate was weathered and covered in a layer of unattended fallen leaves.

Fang Jinshi felt something was wrong. It didn't look like anyone lived here. Could Dean Qin have already moved out

Zong Bai went to knock on the door, but as soon as he exerted his strength, the academy gate creaked open.

It wasn't locked at all.

"What's going on Even if Dean Qin moved out, he wouldn't leave his own door unlocked, would he" Fang Jinxiu questioned in bewilderment.

Zong Bai felt a bad premonition in his heart. Without saying a word, he walked inside, passing the classroom where students were studying at the front and arriving at the back garden where the Qin family lived.

Fan Jinshu and Zong Yu looked at each other, then without a word, followed after him.

"Dean, Dean, are you home" Zong Bai shouted urgently everywhere.

After searching several courtyards, they still couldn't find any trace of the headmaster and his family.

Fang Jinxiu hurriedly asked Zong Yu to help her look for it, but the academy was so small that the three of them searched everywhere but didn't see any sign of Dean Qin or his family.

Finally, she walked up to Zong Bai's side and patted his arm.

"Zong Bai, stop looking. Perhaps Dean Qin and the others have already moved."

"Look at the dust on this table, it hasn't been wiped for at least four or five days."

Zong Bai hung his head dejectedly. "But, Dean Qin's family is poor. Where could he possibly move to"

Now it's getting quite dangerous outside, with bandits running rampant. Zong Bo can't stop worrying about the safety of the headmaster and his family.

"Dr. Qin has done so much for me, sister-in-law. I'm afraid something might happen to them." Zong Bai's voice was filled with uncontainable worry.

Fan Jinshu sighed, "Then what do you want to do"

The little brother-in-law is a kind and loyal boy, but right now they want to help Qin院長's family, but unfortunately they can't even find anyone.

How can I help.

But she couldn't bear to tell Zong Bai such disheartening words. Since Zong Bai was unwilling to give up, they would do their best to help him.

We can't let the child go home with regrets.

"Me." Zong Bai pondered for a long time, and indeed there was a bold idea in his mind.

This idea might delay their return home, and in the end, they might get nothing. He's not sure if his brother-in-law and sister-in-law would really be willing to accompany him on the search.

Seeing his hesitation, Fang Jinshu took the initiative to speak.

"If Dr. Qin's family really moved, someone around here should have seen it. Why don't we go around and ask people"

Maybe they were still safe when they left town. It's been days, after all, and they may not have run into any bandits.

Knowing a little more about the Qin family, Zong Bai might feel a little more at ease.

Zongyu nodded and walked to his younger brother, patting him on the shoulder.

"Listen to your sister-in-law, don't worry."

Zong Bai's eyes welled up. Looking at his older brother and sister-in-law's resolute expressions, he nodded heavily.

"Thank you, big brother. Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Okay, let's split up and ask around nearby."

Zongyu disagreed with Fang Jinshiu's statement, indicating that they must walk together.

Even if it takes a little longer, we can't go our separate ways.

Zong Bai agreed with his elder brother, "That's right, it's not very safe outside now. Sister-in-law shouldn't go alone."

Fāng Jǐnxiù said she couldn't argue with the two of them, so she had to nod in agreement.

"Alright, then I'll spend some more time."

Anyway, today's shopping can be put off. I might as well focus on finding out about Dean Qin's whereabouts for Zong Bai.

Three people, using the academy as their center point, went door to door asking for information.

Every household had their doors tightly shut. Sometimes, even after shouting for a long time, no one would open the door. All along the way, I asked dozens of houses, but only two or three responded.

He still answered with the door closed.

You can see how bad the situation in town is now.

Fāng Jǐnxiù couldn't help but wonder, if Hei Tǔ Zhèn was in such disarray with rebels running rampant, wouldn't the government officials care

These few families live rather far away and said they had never met the Qin院長's family.

Finally, as they were about to return to the academy, they managed to hear a little bit of news about the Qin family.

He was a young boy. When they asked about Dr. Qin's condition, his voice trembled with both sadness and urgency.

"You, are you also students of Dean Qin"

Please save the dean and them! atmosphere any longer. He broke the silence first."Well, since you're all friends with Lady Zong, you're all on the same side."Let's call a truce.Before he could finish his sentence, the three of the...
