- Last night, Lin Shan just fell asleep as if his body and mind had fallen into a deep pool, and he sat on the chair and opened his eyes and worried all night, and only on the eve of dawn when he was most sleepy did he tilt his head and lean on the back of the chair and fall asleep.

The warm comfort that the beloved man can give her is also in this moment, precious and short-lived, like a meteor gliding across the sky, and I don't know when she will wait until the next time this happiness will come.

At this time, Chen Jiu really wanted to lean into the warm embrace in front of her, she was extremely attached to this familiar breath, if she wanted to rest, she just wanted to fall asleep in this kind of warm warmth, and then she could dream of what she wanted about her beloved man.

But before her wish could be further extended, she could only be declared broken.

Chen Jiu stood in front of Lin Shan in a very close position, and her line of sight could easily see the movement outside the door.

Lin Shan, who was facing away from the door, may not have noticed it, and a few close guards outside the door had already walked back and forth several times, but Chen Jiu, who obviously saw the word "something" in the eyes of these people, no matter how obsessed she was with the precious warmth of this moment, she had already recovered some of her sanity and at the same time reminded her that she had to retreat.

"Then I'll go rest for a while." Chen Jiu let go of the hand that caressed the fragile stomach of the beloved man, and said something against his will.

- She did not want to leave his side at all, and though she felt tired, she was in fact mentally clear as a vast sandy field swept by a strong wind, and all the distractions had been swept away, and that little sleepiness had long since dissipated.

Turning around and walking out of the door, when he reached the door, Chen Jiu turned around again, pointed to the cold tea on the table and said, "You don't want others to worry, you have to take care of yourself." Don't forget. Even if you are thirsty, you are not allowed to drink cold tea overnight. Wait a while, I'll call someone to make tea and bring it over. ”

After Chen Jiu said this, he walked out of the door again, and said a few words to a certain guard outside the door, and soon someone came in and took away all the tea sets.

Lin Shan watched this scene silently. Because of being over-cared for. There was a faint helplessness in his eyes, but there was a warmth in his heart.

It seems that there is a feeling of being a virtuous helper, and it seems to be good. Women always seem to have a delicate ability that men can't surpass.

After being lonely for so many years, I have one more person to take care of me, and I feel more comfortable in my heart.

After a while after Chen Jiu left, Lin Shan also walked out of the bedroom. His face was calm, and his eyes changed to a sense of purity.

Now his sense of hearing is unusually sharp. Although it is caused by illness, the lesion of the five senses does not all cause him trouble, and sometimes it can play a beneficial role. For example, just now, he had already heard the sound of footsteps going back and forth outside the door. Actually, it comes from one person. This man waited for a long time, obviously having something to tell.

Just now he just didn't say anything to Chen Jiu, in fact, he was also a little attached to the warmth at that time.

Wait to clean up that little bit of warm heart. The spirit returned to his usual state of sanity and thoughtfulness, and Lin Shan walked out of the bedroom. Seeing Jiang Chao pacing back and forth, he asked directly, "Did something happen yesterday?" ”

In the days when Lin Shan lived in the small town of Northland, he was still dressed as he used to teach at Lizheng Academy, wearing a cloth shirt, and he did not wear a high crown, but only wrapped his hair with a cloth belt, and his outfit was very low-key.

At this time, I saw Lin Shan, who had been sleeping all night, and his hair was still as neat as when he went out yesterday, which showed that he slept last night like a stone that had not moved a bit.

Just smelling some wine made him sleepy like this, and thinking about it only made people feel shocked.

Jiang Chao couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Lin Shan rolled up his sleeves, folded his arms in front of him, and said, "Go to the study and say." ”

……

After leaving Lin Shan's bedroom, Chen Jiu was about to ask the maid to go to the kitchen to make some refreshments, when he saw the maidservant Lan Ya coming over.

Yesterday, Lan Ya was unpleasant when she was cleaning up the dining room with a few other maids, and those maids only conveyed a few words to Chen Jiu. They thought that if Lan Ya had said the original words, if they had told the old wine, they would probably make their eldest sister unhappy for several days, so they made some concealments. Besides, Lan Ya doesn't chew these rotten gossips every day, and occasionally makes mistakes, and everyone tolerates it and it passes.

Last night was also because Lin Shan's condition was different, and Chen Jiu had no patience and spirit for anything else. As for what her little sisters told her yesterday, when she saw Lan Ya at this moment, she remembered something, but she didn't care. Lanya is still one of her clever little sisters.

Lin Shan is not strict with the servant girls in the residence, in fact, his daily life is carefully taken care of by Chen Jiu, and there are very few places where other maidservants can be called. At this time, it was still early, except for the maid who happened to be on duty today, the rest of the maidservants had either not gotten up yet, or were still washing.

Seeing Lan Ya in neat clothes at this time, Chen Jiu no longer had other thoughts, and after a word or two of greetings, she ordered Lin Shan's morning refreshments.

Lan Ya seemed to be very happy to agree, and when Chen Jiu left with confidence, countless pores seemed to suddenly appear on her face, absorbing all the joyful smiles, and her eyes gradually deepened.

……

In the study.

After listening to Jiang Chao's report on the strange scene seen by a team of subordinates yesterday evening, Lin Shan also began to ponder.

Looking at Lin Shan, whose eyes were slightly lowered and silently pondering, Jiang Chao hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but prompt: "If you want to track down the true traces of Liao Shi, those short-tailed foxes in the corner courtyard of your residence can come in handy." ”

Lin Shan was still pondering, and when he heard this, he just said casually: "How to use it?" ”

"Although the guards who followed Liao Shi yesterday evening didn't last long and lost it, a few of them saw Liao Shi sitting on the frame that was flying close to the ground, unscrewing the gourd and drinking the old wine." Jiang Chao explained slowly, and finally said his own idea, "Although Sister Jiu's clay pot is empty, with the special domestication that those short-tailed foxes have received, as long as they sniff the empty wine pot again, they will definitely be able to harvest." ”

"Then ......" Lin Shan was about to agree with Jiang Chao's construction, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated slightly.

After a moment's pause, he beckoned. Jiang Chao approached the table, bowed down and listened to him say a few words in a very slight voice.

When he stood up straight, Jiang Chao's face was obviously puzzled, and he asked hesitantly: "Adults are used to cutting the edges clean, why do you want to arrange it like this this time?" ”

Lin Shan stared at Jiang Chao for a moment, but still did not answer. Just said lightly: "If I don't explain this matter anymore." Will you still do what you have just been told? ”

Jiang Chao no longer hesitated when he heard this, and immediately replied respectfully: "Don't dare to disobey." ”

Lin Shan really didn't explain anything. He raised his sleeve and said, "Then let's go." ”

Jiang Chao took the order, arched his hand to Lin Shan, who was sitting behind the desk, and then withdrew from the study, not daring to slack off on the new task.

The maidservant Lanya, who had been waiting outside the study for a while, saw the door open. Jiang Chao walked out, and it seemed that the discussion in the study had ended. She then walked to the study with the hot soup and snacks she had prepared.

When she passed by Jiang Chao, she was suddenly stopped again.

Stretched out his finger to probe the sand pottery soup urn, glanced at the two pastries on the tray again, and then smiled and said, "Please don't mind, Miss Lanya." Jiang may have been a little too cautious in doing so, but now that the old pharmacist has left here, Lord Lin had a strange situation yesterday evening. I have to be careful today and in the future. ”

"Well, this Lanya knows. I'll pay more attention. Lan Ya replied softly, a gentle smile on her face, not showing any hint of nostalgia.

Jiang Chao thought for a while and then said, "Usually, Lord Lin is taken care of by Sister Jiu every day for food and drink, and there is no need for a rough man like me to ask. However, Sister Wine will occasionally be delayed by some affairs, so she needs the help of a clever girl like you. In the future, if you encounter something like today, you can make it clear to the inside, no matter how busy Lord Lin is, you will not keep you waiting outside. ”

Jiang Chao was stating a practical situation, but he didn't want Lan Ya to draw another meaning from his words.

She hurriedly squatted down to salute, apologized and said, "It's Lanya who did something wrong, and she shouldn't just know how to wait." Wait any longer, and the soup will be cold. If it warms up, even the taste will be lost. ”

Jiang Chao hurriedly helped her up, and said warmly: "Don't be so polite, Jiang didn't mean to blame you, you can go in." ”

Walking into the study with a tray and a slight bowed head, Lan Ya raised her eyes to look behind the desk, and saw that Lord Lin, who was extremely respected by everyone in the residence, was sitting on the chair, and seemed to lean all the weight of his body on the back of the chair. He tilted his head slightly, not knowing where his gaze had stopped on the roof of the study, and he didn't know what he was pondering at the moment.

Lan Ya put down the tray on another small table against the wall in the study, then opened the lid of the soup urn and scooped out a small bowl of warm and incomparably light mushroom and yam soup with a soup spoon.

Hearing the soft sound of the bowl clattering, Lin Shan put away the question in his mind, got up from the chair, and walked to the small table to sit down. Under normal circumstances, he rarely dined at the desk, which was clearly a bit long and wide.

His fingertips pinched the handle of the narrow porcelain spoon, lowered his head slightly and tasted the warm clear soup, and when he raised his head, he stood aside with his hands tied, and Lan Ya, who was a little nervous, heard him ask slowly: "Is this soup your craft?" ”

Lan Ya's heart became even more nervous.

Outside just now, Jiang Chao's words were very tactful. Lin Shan's meals have always been taken care of by Chen Jiu, which is true, but Chen Jiu has not been able to take care of this side as Jiang Chao said occasionally. Although Chen Jiu opened a winery in the town, the business of the winery gradually prospered, but she did not have the intention of expanding the store, because the focus of her daily affairs has always been on Lin Shan's side.

Chen Jiu almost never neglected the affairs of Lin Shan's side, and to be precise, today was the first time that Lan Ya had the opportunity to cook Lin Shan's breakfast.

Nervousness is a feeling that she can't avoid in her heart at this time, her sensitive nerves are worried, I don't know if Lin Shan will ask this, is it because she has done something wrong.

However, she was not nervous for too long, because before she could open her mouth to answer this very simple question, Lin Shan, who had already noticed that her hands that were naturally hanging down at her side began to clench slowly, and said: "This soup tastes good, and it is very comfortable to drink, thank you for your skill." In the past, it has always been aged sake to do these things, and it is actually good to change the taste once in a while. ”

Although it was praised, you can see the expression on Lan Ya's face at the moment. It was as if the surprise was greater than the joy.

No one has ever complimented her on the soup she makes.

Because she really doesn't have the talent to cook soup, and the food she cooks tastes mediocre, about the same as when she heard those mothers-in-law say when she was in General Mu's mansion before, her cooking level is enough to cook raw food and eat the dead.

At this time, when she heard Master Lin, who was respected and obedient by everyone in the residence, praise the delicious soup she cooked, in addition to wondering if she was still dreaming now, another thing she immediately wanted to do was to taste the soup in this urn herself. Has your craft really improved a lot unconsciously?

But. Although she was skeptical, and she didn't have a chance to verify it immediately, it seemed to her. There was really no need for the adult sitting in front of him to pretend to praise her, and his next move proved once again that the praise he had just made was his true feeling.

Lin Shan put down the porcelain spoon he was holding in his fingertips, and picked up the small soup bowl that was no more than the size of a palm with one hand. Like drinking tea, drink the bowl of lightly boiled warm soup in three or two sips.

If anyone is holding a large bowl of soup in both hands, it will definitely look a little rude. But at this time, the small soup bowl in Lin Shan's hand was not much bigger than an ordinary tea cup, and the temperature of the clear soup was indeed not suitable for a thin spoon to taste slowly, so the way he drank the soup was a little more free in the eyes of Lan Ya, who saw this scene for the first time.

What's more, from a certain point of view, this is undoubtedly the most honest compliment to Tang Hao.

I saw Lin Shan put down the small soup bowl. Lan Ya hurriedly took a step closer and asked softly, "Sir, do you still need the maidservant to serve you another bowl?" "The voice is soft. The meaning is full of joy.

But to Lanya's surprise and disappointment, Lin Shan shook his head.

In fact, he would have drunk a bowl of soup so quickly. It was not necessarily that he thought the soup tasted very delicious, and half of the reason was that his keen and sick sense of hearing had already heard from afar that another guard was coming towards him, and his footsteps were in such a hurry, that he was obviously coming with something.

Last night's long hibernation did make some things pile up to today, and I had to put in a little more energy and be patient.

It didn't take long for the guards who were hurrying towards this side to enter the study, and they had reported something yesterday evening, and then went to look for Shanliang in a circle of forest cedars outside the town.

Shan Liang saw that the maidservant girl he had only seen yesterday was also in the study, and when he swept his eyes on the table, he knew what she was doing here. Nodding at her, as if he had said hello, Shan Liang moved his gaze back to Lin Shan's face, walked to a very close distance and whispered a few words, Lin Shan stood up after hearing this, and walked out of the study with Shan Liang.

After walking a few steps away, Lin Shan suddenly stopped, remembering that whenever he left, his study would inevitably be locked. And just now he was in a hurry, neglected this, and left a maidservant in the study.

But he didn't turn around and go back to lock the door, only paused for a moment. In recent days, he has begun to clean up the drafts in his study, and the important parts of the manuscripts that were originally piled up on the shelves have been cleaned up first, leaving only a few fragments of the manuscripts. Therefore, even if the study was burned to ashes by a fire, it would not cause him any loss.

As for the servant girl who cooked the soup deliciously, she was not the object of his questioning.

……

Seeing Lin Shan and his guards walking away, the maid Lanya retracted her gaze, and was about to pack up the dishes and leave, but when her eyes touched the soup urn with the clay lid open, looking at the urn and the wisps of hot soup wafting out, she suddenly had another thought in her heart.

He walked to the inside of the study door, and at a very fast speed, he peered out to the left and right, and saw that there was only one guard standing outside the door. It was no different from the situation just now when he was standing outside with a tray in his hand, this guard was still standing a little farther away, and it was probably because Lin Shan didn't want anyone to hear what he was talking in the study just now, so he lined up the guards first.

Lan Ya retracted her gaze, walked back to the small dining table, no longer hesitated, picked up the big spoon she had just used to scoop the soup and stirred it into the soup urn, then tilted her neck and swallowed half a spoonful of clear soup.

Immediately after, she almost spit out the mushroom and yam soup she had just swallowed in her throat.

Sure enough, it is worthy of the soup that I boiled, but it is still so unpalatable.

Lan Ya pursed her lips and tried to swallow back the clear soup that had been halfway pouring from her throat to her mouth. She took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the dripping soup that had accidentally spilled from the corner of her mouth, and the expression on her face gradually sank.

It's not because the soup is too unpalatable, but the fruits of your labor, no matter how bad it is, will never disgust you too much. Just like people will always tolerate their own shortcomings.

She felt a hint of hatred because she felt that the adult had just deceived her.

She didn't know that tasting the clear soup she had boiled with the degraded taste of Lin Shan, which she had forgotten to put salt, actually really fit his feelings. Therefore, what he said just now is true, but he tastes it with the taste of ordinary people, and of course it is impossible to accept this saltless taste.

In the past, when serving Lin Shan with old wine, he didn't dare to do it so extremely. I don't put salt in my food at all! So after Lin Shan tasted this soup. I just think the taste of this soup is really the first time.

But Lan Ya, who didn't know about this situation, could only think in an extreme way at this time: Lin Shan, when weaving lies, could actually express himself so perfectly; His deceptive words are so persuasive.

She actually believed it just now!

She rarely did what she had just done. Completely believing what an outsider says, so her trust is actually extremely fragile. The words of praise that she had just believed and rejoiced in had been overturned in such a short period of time, and outsiders could not imagine how strong the anger had rolled up in her heart at this time.

Place the ladle onto the tray. She didn't continue to put away the small bowl that Lin Shan had used on the side. Still standing at the table, her gaze had begun to scan around the study.

- Sure enough. People can only trust their own words and rely on their own choices!

It was when Lin Shan's injuries were out of danger that Lanya was sent by Kyoto to the small town of Kitachi to become a handyman maid in the residence. I've been here for almost two years now. She had passed by this study many times and had the opportunity to come in a few times. So every time she rarely came in, she would carefully observe the environment in the study. It's a curiosity.

At this time, recalling the study room she had observed before, and comparing it with what she saw in front of her now, Lan Ya couldn't help but squint.

In the study, almost all the square pieces of paper, brochures, picture scrolls and other things that were filled with the left and right rows of wooden shelves should have been cleaned up seventy percent by now. All the scrolls are gone, and more than half of the booklet is missing, and the remaining thirty percent of the things are about all pieces of paper that are a little messy, and you don't need to turn them over to know that these things are not very important.

Lan Ya raised the corners of her mouth with a cold expression.

No wonder he left the study this time and did not lock the study as he had done before. In fact, he doesn't trust his subordinates very much, just because he knows that there are no important things in the study, so he will be so "relieved"!

But Lan Ya's purpose in stopping and looking around in the study was not to look for any books and scrolls. In fact, she often has doubts about Lin Shan's "paintings" and thinks that there is no beauty at all. If those scrolls were to be sold on the market, she sarcastically felt that the silver that could be sold might not even be able to compensate for the consumption of pen and ink, and those who bought his paintings probably thought that the scrolls were quite thick and that it would be good to take them back to the table.

Lan Ya was just looking for the bottle of medicine at this time.

She's been thinking about it since yesterday.

In the quiet darkness of the night, she lay on the bed, her eyelids closed, but her mind was clear. Summarizing some of the fragments of words she had heard in the last two months, and stitching them together, she was able to summarize a relatively complete piece of information.

After the old pharmacist left, it won't be long before Lin Shan will leave here. However, although Lin Shan's injuries were healed on the outside, they actually left a very serious legacy on the body. Silver strands began to appear in his hair, which was the most obvious sign. Even if the ugly old medicine man concocted a pigment that could dye people's hair, as a servant girl who served closely, some changes in the hair and skin of the body could not be hidden.

And then there is the sentence that the guard Shanliang accidentally said yesterday.

Lin fir can't be drunk? Why can't you dip? What happens if you get drunk?

Watching Lin Shan be carried back from outside by the guards yesterday, like a lifeless stone, and slept for a long night, Lan Ya could probably guess what would happen if Lin Shan was drunk.

I don't know if this hypocritical guy has any other taboos in life, but just the fear of alcohol is enough for him to endure. His subordinates are all free from alcohol and pleasure, and although they will try to be in moderation for his sake, there will inevitably be a time to run into them.

However, in this case, the old medicine master can still walk away, and he must have left some clever tricks to help Lin Shan deal with these taboos.

Liao Shi, who is good at making medicine and is respectfully called "old pharmacist" by everyone in the residence, if he leaves any tricks, it is probably medicine.

I recalled the scene when Lin Shan had just been carried back from outside by the guards. Lan Ya also remembered that two people on the spot repeatedly mentioned the word "medicine". Although this one word doesn't mean anything, but in Lan Ya's heart, who has already thought about it for a while, it is like the word that is just wrong in a sentence.

Find out the bottle of medicine! Then, when Lin Shan, a hypocritical guy, wants to leave this place, he will use this medicine as a bargaining chip in his hand, so that he will most likely not be sent back to General Mu's mansion to suffer.

It's just stealing a bottle of medicine, and I don't know if I can steal it today. Compared with the methods of the two cruel women in the back house of General Mu's mansion, his stealing behavior can simply be ranked among the good.

-- Good people. Occasionally, I do something wrong. That's the kind of person I am.

The original scroll books in the wooden lattice were almost emptied, and it was easy to see through at a glance, and Lan Ya's eyes finally fell on the overly spacious desk in the study. Under the inside of the desk. There are a lot of drawers.

Lan Ya made up her mind, but she didn't immediately approach the desk to pull the drawers. She walked to the door of the study first, then poked her head out of the door with great speed to make sure that the guard outside the door was still standing in the same position. His eyes were straight ahead, and he didn't mean to come over. Then she withdrew her gaze. He looked back at the desk and walked over.

Of course, Lin Shan couldn't put such an important bottle of medicine in a drawer, no matter how tightly guarded the study where the desk was located.

Although the maidservant Lan Ya had already decided that Lin Shan was a hypocrite she despised, his identity was there after all. Lan Ya knew very well that if her stealing behavior in this study was discovered by the guards outside. What will happen to her?

She restrained herself from shaking her hands too much, and tried to pull the drawer as gently as she could, so that the sound of the drawer opening and closing was as soft as possible.

I don't know if it's her spirit of being a thief. Or was the drawer really damp and heavy, and the more she wanted to move lightly. The actual situation is more and more against her.

If she used the gentle fingers of opening the drawer at this time to serve a businessman who had been nervous and tired for a day, even if the businessman had been through the ups and downs of the business world for a long time and had a cold heart, I am afraid that she could get a different feeling under the impetus of this gentle and thin fingers.

Her efforts were not all in vain, although the object of "service" was the hardwood drawer, and the sound of the wooden board rubbing against it was minimized, which can also be said to be a benign reward!

However, she spent a long time checking all the drawers in this way, but in the end she found nothing.

While the servant girl Lanya was a little disappointed, her heart swelled with great anger.

At this time, she only thought that she was bound to get this bottle of medicine. But she seems to have forgotten that when she first started the idea of stealing medicine, she was actually just holding a mentality of trying.

Although at this time, she had inexplicably firmly believed that there must be a bottle of medicine in the study that she could rely on to blackmail Lin Shan, but the process of inspecting the drawer really took too much time, and even if the guards outside were wooden, she didn't dare to risk staying in the study anymore.

I have to say that her self-consciousness is quite accurate.

When she had put away the dishes and had just picked up the tray, she turned to see that the guard who had been standing guard far away from the door had entered.

Seeing that Lin Shan hadn't returned for a long time, the guards thought of closing the door of the study. But he was obviously a little surprised that there was still a person in the room, and when he just walked to the door of the study and just glanced inside, his expression froze slightly. However, when he saw the maid's face clearly, and recognized her as the one who had just come to bring breakfast to the adults, and had stood outside with him, and had chatted with each other for a few words, the slightest doubt in the guard's heart was quickly put down.

"Are you still there?"

This guard was just a greeting and didn't have much other intentions, but when Lan Ya, who was a thief, heard it, it made her heart tremble.

Thinking quickly in her mind, after a pause, Lan Ya explained a little nervously: "I thought Mr. Lin would come back in a while, so I waited here for a while." He only drank a small bowl of soup for breakfast, how could that be enough? ”

Even if she was right, the guard had the same idea in his heart. If he was to deliver food to Lin Shan, and he saw the adults suddenly go out halfway through eating, he would definitely continue to wait for a while.

- If the guard had just been standing in the study. Seeing Lin Shan's determination to put down the bowl with his own eyes, and seeing the lord shaking his head and rejecting the maid's request, he would definitely not think like this again.

-- If that time comes, the evil thoughts that this servant girl may have deliberately left in the study will be clearly engraved in the sane minds of the guards.

But this qiē didn't happen, so the maid who stayed in the study and waited for Lord Lin to come back was in the eyes of the guards. is still a good maid who can think about adults.

"This morning. The kitchen is a maid on duty, and if Mr. Lin comes back, he needs to eat and drink. The little brother can summon the little maid. Seeing that the suspicion on the guard's face had disappeared, and the servant girl Lanya's tense mind was also relaxed a little, and there was more room for thinking in her mind, she added a few words. Slowed down the atmosphere of the scene, "This soup is already cold." The little maid could not wait any longer. ”

The guards understood and leaned out of the way.

Lan Ya smiled lightly, and stepped out of the threshold from the guard with a tray, after walking a distance. She couldn't help but glance back. Her gaze seemed to fall on the face of the guard, who had just closed the door and happened to turn around, and the guard looked back and smiled when he saw the servant girl walking away. also returned a smile.

- He didn't know that it wasn't him who the servant girl Lanya was looking back at. It's the unlocked door.

Although the lock on the door can be closed without a key, the guard is not sure if the adult forgot the key in the study when he left, since the adult did not care about the lock, it is inconvenient for him, as a guard, to interfere too carefully.

Seeing that the door of the study was just hidden, Lan Ya's smile at the guard was a little happy at the end. It's just that what she is happy about is that her stealing plan has a second chance, not that she sees someone who is pleasing to her.

Even the guards don't lock the door, so it looks like I still have a chance.

It's just that...... This study seems to be about to be emptied, could the bottle of medicine be hidden elsewhere as well?

Before noon, the news that Jiang Chao brought back overnight made Lin Shan, who had just gotten up, go out again, and when he and a group of guards returned to the town from a hundred miles away, it was almost evening. It seems that from the morning light to the drowsy evening, the transition of time is so fast that it is just a picture switch.

Looking at the smoke column rising above the kitchens of every household in the town, and vaguely hearing the sound of the spatula scraping on the iron pot, Lin Shan felt that while his mind was calm, he also clearly felt that he was really tired after tossing and turning outside for a day.

After dinner, wash up and rest, the day can pass so quickly and so easily.

One of the guards saw their adults looking up at the roof of a house for a long time, and he followed suit. But apparently the corner of his gaze was very different from Lin Shan's, and soon everyone saw him raise his hand to a certain place, laughed and said, "Look, the smoke from that family's chimney is the thickest, and their family should be able to eat smoked rice tonight." ”

One of the guards who was walking side by side with him also looked over there and said casually, "Maybe it's because the firewood hasn't dried it." ”

"Maybe it's a child who burns the fire in front of the stove, and the craftsmanship is not good!"

"I've only heard that cooking requires craftsmanship, just squatting in front of the stove to make a fire, which also requires craftsmanship?"

"As soon as I heard you say this, I knew that you were a man who only knew how to eat. The skill of burning the fire in front of the stove is great, first of all, saving firewood is equal to saving fire, even in the countryside, it takes time and energy to collect firewood. Again, burn a room full of firewood smoke, can you let the person who cooks on the stove still open his eyes? ”

"you...... He also said that I, don't you also open your mouth for dinner, and you will just say a few words verbally. ”

Listening to a few guards around him have a heated debate about a pillar of cooking smoke, although it sounds a little boring at first, but when you think about it, this can be regarded as a busy day outside, and you can find a little light topic after returning to the quiet town.

Lin Shan suddenly smiled and said: "Burning a fire in front of the stove is actually really a science, and I can only open my mouth with food." ”

Several of the guards were stunned.

Lin Shan didn't speak again, but his thoughts suddenly flew away, flying to when he was still in Xingjia Village a few years ago. When Lai was not at home that day, he had the privilege of cooking a talent that he almost never used, but it turned out that although the child who was burning the fire in front of the stove controlled the heat very well, he still cooked a pot of rice by the big iron pot.

That meal was really unpalatable and unforgettable, and the look of the child sitting at the table holding the bowl and frowning with disdain was also unforgettable to him, and when Li Shi came back, the child pulled her hand and grumbled for an hour, and he also remembered.

Those memories weren't pleasant, but when he thought about it now, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth—

(To be continued)
