The candle flame on the tea table was dancing gently, flickering on and off.

The weak candle flame reflected on the three people sitting around the table, and also reflected the three faces with different expressions.

After struggling for a long time, seeing that Mu Ziru didn't mean to speak first, Lin Zhiwu finally sighed and said, "Ziru, if you have time, you can go back and see Doctor Crepe!" Since you left home, although Dr. Crepe didn't say anything, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Dr. Crepe missed you very much. After all, you are father and son, why did you make it like this?? At the beginning, Dr. Crepe's words were also for your own good, which father didn't want his son to become a Chan? Why do you hold a grudge against your father and refuse to return home for seven years? ”

After listening to Lin Zhiwu's words, Lin Xiaoyang, who had always been regarded as air, finally interjected: "Mu Ziru is the son of the white-haired and white-bearded old doctor? ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhiwu nodded and replied, "Well, yes." Doctor Crepe and Ziru are father and son, and most of Ziru's medical skills were learned from Doctor Confucian. When he said this, Lin Zhiwu still kept looking at Mu Ziru opposite him, and Lin Xiaoyang was still like air.

"But why don't Mu Ziru and Doctor Crepe have the same surname? One of them has the surname Crepe and the other has the surname Mu, how strange! Lin Xiaoyang's curious baby mentality has started again.

Although he didn't expect Lin Xiaoyang to ask this question, Lin Zhiwu still replied: "I once heard your second senior brother mention that Ziru is with his deceased mother's surname Mu, not with the surname of Dr. Xuan. ”

"That's right!" Lin Xiaoyang nodded knowingly. He said, how can there be fathers and sons with different surnames!

The corners of his mouth still maintained a habitual evil smile, and although Mu Ziru seemed noncommittal about what Lin Zhiwu said, he didn't answer Lin Zhiwu's words, but asked: "Brother Zhiwu, how are Ah Mo and the second lady doing now?" Are you still being bullied by those three rotten people of the Zhu family? ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhiwu sighed helplessly, knowing that this was because Mu Ziru didn't want to mention Dr. Crepe, so he had to follow Mu Ziru's words and answer: "Lord is okay now, he just became the new head of the Zhu family some time ago, took charge of the Zhu family, and married a wife, as for the second lady, ......."

At this point, Lin Zhiwu seemed a little hesitant, but Mu Ziru still had the habitual evil smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't urge, just waited for Lin Zhiwu to continue.

With another sigh, Lin Zhiwu finally continued: "The second lady has passed away. The old man, the eldest lady, and the eldest young master have all passed away. In just a few days, all relatives have passed away one after another, and now in this Zhu Mansion, only the master is left. If it weren't for the newly married young lady by his side to share the worries and solve the problems for the master, otherwise I really don't know how desolate the master should be now. ”

Hearing this, Mu Ziru finally put away the evil smile on the corner of his mouth, and some voices that couldn't hear the love came out of his mouth: "How did the second lady die?" ”

"Ziru, don't think about it too much, you also know that the second lady's health is not good, after the death of the master, the second lady can't stand the blow, her heart is broken, and even your father's crepe doctor has no skills to return to heaven." Lin Zhiwu's answer was very concise, but it made people feel inexplicable.

People who don't know the inside story will feel that it is normal to be inexplicable, although Mu Ziru's question seems to be very simple, but the deep meaning behind this question is as simple as Lin Xiaoyang definitely doesn't understand, but Lin Zhiwu knows it very well.

Among the wealthy families, the most important thing is intrigue and murder, what Mu Ziru really wants to ask is actually whether the second lady Liu Ruyun was killed by the eldest lady Chen Rou and Zhu Ziyao's mother and son! After all, it is not once or twice that they want to kill Liu Ruyun and Zhu Zimo's mother and son, which is why Lin Zhiwu will say "Ziru, don't think too much".

Although Lin Zhiwu doesn't like Chen Rou and Zhu Ziyao, and even dislikes them, Lin Zhiwu will not do the immoral thing of putting pots on the heads of dead people, what the truth is.

"When did the second lady die?" Mu Ziru asked again.

"On the fourth day of March this year, the night when the lord and the young lady got married." Lin Zhiwu replied succinctly.

Silence, death-like silence.

Since Lin Zhiwu said the reason and time of Liu Ruyun's death, Mu Ziru lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup in his hand without saying a word.

After a long time, Lin Zhiwu tentatively asked Mu Ziru: "Ziru, the second lady was also good to you when she was alive, and she was almost the same as you and the master, now that you are back, do you want to go back to worship the second lady, and tell the second lady's spirit in the sky, you are back?" "By the way, go see your father. Lin Zhiwu said this last sentence from the bottom of his heart.

Without any thinking or hesitation, Lin Zhiwu's voice Fang Luo Mu Ziru replied decisively: "I will go back early tomorrow morning, and I will go to Nanling County in the south of the Yangtze River after paying homage to the second lady." ”

Nodding, Lin Zhiwu didn't express any opinion on Mu Ziru's words, but said: "It's not too early, let's hurry up and rest!" I'm going to have to go tomorrow! Then he said to Mu Ziru: "Ziru, you can sleep in the opposite room tonight!" Lin Gongzi and I can squeeze a room. ”

"Okay." Mu Ziru only lightly agreed, then got up and opened the door and went out.

Entering Lin Xiaoyang's guest room, he closed the door with his backhand, not to mention his robe, Mu Ziru didn't even take off his shoes, he lay down on the bed directly, and fell asleep in a while.

After tossing for most of the night, coupled with the excessive consumption of internal force, Mu Ziru was indeed very tired and tired.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of opening and closing the door outside the closed door, and then calmed down, that Lin Zhiwu said to Lin Xiaoyang: "Lin Gongzi, do you know the identity of Ziru?" ”

Lin Xiaoyang tilted his head and looked at Lin Zhiwu for some reason, although he didn't know why Lin Zhiwu asked like this, Lin Xiaoyang still shook his head honestly: "I don't know." Isn't he the son of the crepe doctor?? ”

Lin Zhiwu lowered his eyes and looked at the desktop in front of him, resting his hands and wrists on the edge of the tea table, rubbing the body of the teacup on the tea table with the palms of both hands, and a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "According to the people of the rivers and lakes, the impermanence of the ghost doctor is transparent, the appearance is demonic, and the hair color is pale and white. When I met Ziru today, I realized that Ziru was the famous 'impermanent ghost doctor' in the rivers and lakes of the Nine Kingdoms. ”

"Really? After coming down the mountain, I also heard some rumors about the 'impermanent ghost doctor', who said that as long as the impermanent ghost doctor helps, even the dead can be healed, and there is no poison in this world that the impermanent ghost doctor cannot solve! I didn't expect Mu Ziru to be so powerful, he turned out to be the rumored impermanence ghost doctor! After listening to Lin Zhiwu's words, Lin Xiaoyang showed an expression of great admiration.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyang showing an extremely adoring look, Lin Zhiwu shook his head amusedly, reached out and patted Lin Xiaoyang's slightly upturned head, and said with a smile: "Okay, Lin Gongzi, go to sleep quickly!" Otherwise, I won't have the energy to go tomorrow. ”

"Okay." Lin Xiaoyang replied obediently, got up and walked towards the wooden bed on the side.

After Lin Xiaoyang took off his shoes on the side of the wooden bed, and his clothes fell asleep on the side of the bed, Lin Zhiwu blew out the candles on the tea table, and walked to the bed by the faint moonlight that came into the room through the window, and after taking off his shoes, he lay down on the outside of the bed.

Lin Zhiwu didn't notice that although he was still shouting "Lin Gongzi" in his mouth, in essence, he had changed his respect for Lin Xiaoyang from the beginning to the love for his younger brother now, maybe it was because Lin Zhiwu lost his only brother not long ago!

Facing Lin Xiaoyang who was the same age as his own brother all day long, Lin Zhiwu couldn't help but mistake Lin Xiaoyang for his younger brother Lin Zhisheng, and over time, Lin Zhiwu's feelings for Lin Xiaoyang changed, until he completely regarded Lin Xiaoyang as his younger brother.

As for Lin Xiaoyang, he has been loved by his master and two senior brothers since he was a child, and he will not notice this change at this moment, even if he does, Lin Xiaoyang will definitely be happy to accept it, after all, it is a good thing that someone loves him......

Poor Lin Zhiwu is destined to lose sleep tonight, not because he was too happy and excited to meet his old friend, but because Mu Ziru has become what he is now!

Lin Zhiwu's knowledge and understanding of Mu Ziru only stopped seven years ago - Mu Ziru grew up with Zhu Zimo since he was a child, although he did not have Zhu Zimo's deep scheming, but he was still more or less unpredictable since he was a child.

After knowing that Mu Ziru was the "impermanent ghost doctor" that was rumored in the rivers and lakes of the Nine Kingdoms, Lin Zhiwu didn't think it was a good thing. It's already "impermanent", and it's still a ghost doctor! These two words are not compliments!

Lin Zhiwu deeply felt that something was about to happen, and something was quietly changing......

Such an uneasy premonition made Lin Zhiwu unable to sleep peacefully like Lin Xiaoyang lying beside him.

At this moment, Lin Zhiwu is really very envious of Lin Xiaoyang.

Whether it is Zhu Zimo or him and Qinglong, White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Vermilion Bird, each of them lives in calculations, every step they take, every thing they do, and even every hour and every day that passes, they need to take every step and think about it. And this kind of life also includes many people in this world.

After such a long time, they will be tired, but they dare not shout tired, let alone retreat, because they have no way out!

Every time they take a step forward, the road behind them will collapse a step, and as long as they turn around, what awaits them is a cliff! So no matter how tired and hard they are, they can only hold on and move forward until the day they achieve their goal.

Although Lin Xiaoyang is very simple and a little naïve who is ignorant of the world, it is because of this simplicity and innocence that Lin Xiaoyang can live happily and comfortably than each of them.

There is no need to act step by step, there is no need to be careful, what you do when you think of it, and live a chic and simple life is the most enviable wealth that Lin Zhiwu has.

If Lin Xiaoyang loses this innocence one day, Lin Zhiwu really can't imagine what Lin Xiaoyang will become at that time, and a very long time later, something happened very later, which really made Lin Zhiwu unable to imagine!
