The house that Jing Chenyan lives in is not big. It is an old two-bedroom apartment. It should be a dormitory assigned by the work unit.
The living room is very small, and even when a few of us entered, it felt a bit crowded.
However, the room was very clean and spotless. The furniture was old but very neat.
From this aspect, Jing Chenyan is a very meticulous and rigorous person.
Jing Chenyan invited us to sit down, and then made us each a cup of tea, smiling the whole time.
After placing the tea in front of us, Jing Chenyan said with a smile: "Principal Jin, welcome to my home. Even though the room is too small, there is nothing to entertain you. You are the president of Yanbei University. It feels so friendly. I haven’t visited my alma mater in many years, so I really want to go there.”
President Jin took the tea and said politely: "You are welcome to visit your alma mater at any time. The door of Yanbei University is always open to you."
Jing Chenyan also sat down and said: "When I first heard that the principal of Yanbei University was looking for me, I was very surprised. I thought that the old principal of Yanbei University should have passed away long ago. I didn't expect that he was. What happened to the new Principal Jin, and why did Principal Jin make a trip in person?"
Principal Jin glanced at me, and then said with a smile: "It's about an incident thirty years ago, so I came here to ask about it. I hope I won't disturb you."
Hearing this, Jing Chenyan was a little surprised and asked, "Principal Jin, what do you want to ask?"
Principal Jin hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say, so he looked at me and said, "Classmate Jing, let me first introduce you to Mr. Wu next to you. This is Mr. Wu, a direct disciple of our famous Chinese Feng Shui master Li Xuantong. Tribulation.”
"Hello Aunt Jing." I nodded to her politely.
Jing Chenyan's face became more confused, probably because she couldn't understand why Principal Jin brought a Feng Shui master here and he looked so young.
But she still smiled at me and said, "Hello, Master Wu."
At this time, Principal Jin directly got to the point and said, "Classmate Jing, more than thirty years ago, there was a fire in the dormitory building where you lived. Six people were burned to death, and you were the only one who survived. Come down, we came here this time just to ask about the burning house..."
A cracking sound came, startling everyone.
But the teacup in Jing Chenyan's hand suddenly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
And Jing Chenyan's expression suddenly changed, and her expression was extremely complicated. Frightened, panicked, sad... actually appeared on her face at the same time.
Obviously, Jing Chenyan did not expect that Principal Jin would come here for this matter.
However, Jing Chenyan quickly reacted and said in a panic: "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now..."
After saying that, she stood up, brought the cleaning tools, cleaned the broken cup, and then sat back down.
At this time, she had regained her composure, looked at Principal Jin, and said in a deep voice: "Principal Jin, why did you suddenly investigate this matter?"
Principal Jin looked at me again, with a somewhat questioning tone in his eyes, which meant he was asking me if I could tell me about what happened in that old dormitory building.
I nodded and said yes, I had to tell her about this, otherwise we wouldn't be able to talk about it at all.
Principal Jin sighed, and then said: "Student Jing, you must know much more about the situation in the old dormitory than everyone here. More than thirty years ago, ever since the house fire happened, , after six students died, various weird and bizarre things happened one after another in that old dormitory, and a murder occurred. Finally, the old girls’ dormitory building was sealed. I was transferred to Yanbei more than ten years ago. I am the president of the university, but more than ten years ago, the old female dormitory building was not very peaceful. People continued to die inexplicably in that old dormitory building. Just some time ago, four more students died in the old dormitory building. Lives were lost there, and if we don’t figure out the tragedy that year, the problems in that old dormitory building will never be solved, so we found you here."
When Jing Chenyan heard this, she acted very calmly, as if everything was within her expectation.
But after a while, she suddenly laughed twice, her eyes were covered with mist, and she said to herself: "After so many years, her resentment has not dissipated."
As soon as I heard this, I knew that Jing Chenyan must know, and she knew a lot.
I took a deep breath and said: "Aunt Jing, a few days ago, I went to the old dormitory building. In the 314 girls' dormitory on the third floor, I found a notebook. The owner of that notebook was Nie Yun. When you It should be a classmate in the dormitory, right?"
Jing Chenyan wiped her tears, nodded, and said, "Yes, Nie Yun was in the same dormitory with us at first, but he only stayed in the same dormitory for half a year and then moved out."
"Why did she move away?" I asked.
Jing Chenyan suddenly stopped talking and looked straight at me. After a while, she asked me an incomprehensible question: "Master Wu, do you think human nature is good or evil?"
I was confused by Jing Chenyan's question. I didn't know why she suddenly said this.
When Uncle Huzi heard this, he suddenly interrupted: "I can answer this question."
All of us looked at Uncle Hu Zi. I also feel a little surprised. When did Uncle Hu Zi answer such a profound and philosophical question?
Uncle Huzi curled his lips and said: "Didn't you read the Three Character Classic when you were young? In the beginning, human beings are inherently good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart..."
"Shut up." I rolled my eyes and interrupted Uncle Hu Zi's words.
Uncle Huzi said with an unconvinced look: "Master, am I wrong in what I said?"
Principal Jin coughed awkwardly and said: "There has never been a correct conclusion about whether human nature is inherently good or evil. In our country, the most typical statements are Mencius' "Theory of Good Nature" and Xunzi's "Theory of Evil Nature" , I believe that the definition of good and evil depends on whether the behavior conforms to the norms of ethics and morality. If it conforms, it is good, if it does not conform, it is evil."
As expected of the president of a university, he always talks in one way and it sounds very reasonable to others.
Compared with Principal Jin, Uncle Hu Zi's IQ is exactly the same as that of a kindergarten student.
Hearing Principal Jin's explanation, Jing Chenyan suddenly sneered and said, "Principal Jin, I don't agree with what you said. I think human nature is inherently evil. If there are no moral and legal constraints, people will lose their The cloak of hypocrisy is the cruelest animal in the world!"
