Seeing that Lin Shan's behavior was different, Lu Sheng had already taken a step closer, but his eyes were pointing to the door.
Then, he heard Lin Shan say to him: "The door is fine, but I want to trouble you to lead the carriage out first, and if you drop this last latch, this door will not be able to open again." ”
Hearing this, Lu Sheng arched his hand towards Lin Shan, and said nothing.
Watching Lu Sheng go to the shed, Mo Ye, who had been standing aside and watching silently, approached. Her gaze swept over the gate with a water chestnut cone, and finally landed on Lin Shan's body, and asked in a slightly low voice, "Master, don't you worry that your aunt will notice the heresy by letting him lead the carriage outside?" ”
Without waiting for Lin Shan's answer, Lu Sheng over there had already come back with the carriage. The reason why he moved so quickly was not only because he was too familiar with the carriage, but also because Mo Ye felt horrified.
Lu Sheng did not put the old horse in the family on the wheel, but really followed Lin Shan's instructions and walked with his bare hands to 'lead' the carriage.
Lin Shan had already opened the courtyard door, Mo Ye looked a little stunned and let go of the door, and Lu Sheng was silent and led the carriage out.
Soon I saw him come back, and then I saw Lin Shan instructing: "Let the horse stay in the shed, and clean up the room where the carriage is kept, as usual." ”
Lu Sheng nodded to Lin Shan, and then went to the stable.
Although Lin Shan didn't answer Mo Ye's question just now, she had already got the answer as she observed what was happening in front of her.
Some of the things that have happened recently are too different from the past, too many changes, too sudden. Although Mo Ye is not the kind of person who scoops out the Tao when she has a little sesame seed, the series of events that have happened recently still make her accumulate a lot of negative feelings in her heart that are about to be uncontrollable.
So, even now she could probably guess why Master did this. She still couldn't help but ask in person to be sure, or to find the strength to make up her mind.
"Master, are we going to leave tomorrow?"
At this time, Lin Shan seemed to be waiting for something, and saw that Lu Sheng had already sent the carriage outside the courtyard as he said, and he didn't move to pull out the last water chestnut cone on the door.
Hearing Mo Ye ask, he seemed to be still thinking about something. It took him a while to come to his senses. But he only nodded at the question, and said something else.
"Ye'er, you go to the front yard and wait, by the way, see if they come back."
Mo Ye when he heard this. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Lu Sheng had already come, and she glanced at the smiling Lin Shan again, and there was nothing more. Just lowered his eyebrows and nodded, and went to the front yard as he said.
When Mo Ye's figure was blocked by the house wall in the front yard, Lu Sheng had already walked to Lin Shan's side. He glanced at the direction in which Mo Ye had left, and then said in a very sincere tone, "My lord, I want to learn this." ”
"I saw it just now, you do have this idea." The corners of Lin Shan's mouth curved slightly, and then he said, "If you want to learn this, I can teach you, but before that." You've got to get back what I gave you last time. ”
It didn't seem that this was the first time that Lin Shan had spoken to Lu Sheng, so when Lu Sheng, who had few words, heard this. Suddenly, he became talkative.
"My lord, don't tease me anymore, and tell me to abolish my martial arts again? This, Shu Xiaolu can't do anything. ”
Lu Sheng said these words very smoothly, and the speed of his speech was slightly faster, and his tone was different from the passive obedience attitude he had been holding just now, which was firm and with a hint of annoyance.
It seems that he often says this to Lin Shan, so after he is proficient, he will naturally mix in some personal feelings, and furthermore, according to the content of his words, it is not difficult to see that Lin Shan also often remarks about his kind of "self-defeating martial arts", which is indeed easy to feel annoyed.
Lin Shan looked at Lu Sheng's extremely unhappy face, sighed lightly and said gently, "It's not that I don't want to teach you, it's just that I ...... At the beginning, you took a fancy to Master Li's martial arts, and it took me a lot of effort to get you a mantra from him, but you only studied for a year, and then you took a fancy to something else. I don't mention the matter in front of me, yourself, how many times have you wanted to give up learning martial arts in the past few years of kung fu? If it weren't for me suppressing you one after another, you would still have insisted on practicing, so much so that now your light function has been cultivated to this level?"
Lu Sheng didn't say anything more, he thought of some of his past in the past few years from Lin Shan's words, and a trace of guilt gradually appeared on his face.
"Only by specializing in one can you be proficient in one!" Lin Shan, who noticed the change in the expression on Lu Sheng's face, gently patted him on the shoulder again, and said, "Your strength lies in this vertical leaping technique, I hope you will go further, I still have a lot of places to ask you for help in the future." ”
Lu Sheng nodded, then lowered his eyebrows slightly and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Lu Yi Qiqi is at the disposal of adults. ”
Lin Shan withdrew the hand that was on Lu Sheng's shoulder, didn't say anything more, turned around and pulled out the last water chestnut cone inserted in the courtyard door.
When the last iron pillar mounted in the door, which was blocked by the cone, popped out and poked into the hole left by the edge of the 'mechanical heart' in the door, a muffled sound slowly came from the wall, and standing closest to the courtyard wall, I could feel a slight vibration at the slightest touch, and climbed up from the ground along my legs.
After a while, this tremor disappeared, and Lu Sheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva after his expression was slightly stunned, and muttered: "What did you feel just now......
Lin Shan picked up the lid of the small wooden box on the ground that he had just lifted off, and covered it on the notch of the machine core on the door, although the small wooden box carrying the machine core has changed greatly now, and is embedded in the door center, but its lid is still in harmony with it, except that the color is slightly different from the overall door.
Lin Shan's eyes were fixed on the door that was covered with a lid, as if he was still checking something, and he just casually explained Lu Sheng's doubts: "It's nothing, it's just that this courtyard gate is now inseparable from this courtyard wall." ”
He walked over to the wooden box on the floor, crouched down and rummaged through it, and then took out an ink cartridge. This cartridge is the same as the one he used just now, but the ink on the tip of the pen on the outside of the lid not only indicates that this cartridge has been activated, but the color close to dark gray also shows that it is not the one used by Lin Shan just now.
Lin Shan got up and handed the ink cartridge to Lu Sheng, and ordered: "The next thing is going to trouble you, pay attention to the thickness of the ink, and try to paint it to a color similar to the original door panel." ”
"Yes." Lu Sheng took the cartridge and his expression became serious.
Lin Shan didn't do anything more, and he didn't mean to stay to supervise the work, so he rolled up the cloth on the ground with various awls, picked it up, and then picked up the flat and narrow wooden box, and walked back to the study quickly.
Lin Shan's route back to the study was through the back door, and Mo Ye, who was sitting at the stone table in the front yard, did not notice the movement in the house, and Lin Shan came out not long after returning to the study, but it was still the back door.
When Lin Shan returned to the backyard gate, Lu Sheng's brushing of the door was only half done, and the matter of painting ink was simple, but it was a bit sad to paint the ink to the same color as the wooden door that had been eroded by wind and rain for several years.
Seeing that Lin Shan was back again, and he still looked like he was in trouble, Lu Sheng simply stopped what he was doing for the time being. He saw that Lin Shan was checking the results of his labor, and said with a little weakness: "Although I have been arguing for a few days, this job still has to be done by a group of Brother Luo, and I only learn fur kung fu." ”
"Just mess around tonight. I don't have time to call him, so I insist on throwing this matter to you, and it's hard for you. Lin Shan withdrew his gaze from the door, looked at Lu Sheng with a smile, and said in approval: "With this kind of makeshift ointment, you can apply this effect, and when you go back to the group to sue Luo Qing, he will also praise you." ”
When Lu Sheng heard this, a rare happy smile from the bottom of his heart appeared on his face, but after laughing, his expression suddenly became vigilant, and he asked, "My lord, do you mean to let me go back to the group?" Didn't you ask me to accompany you to Kyoto?"
Lin Shan sighed softly in his heart when he heard this, but on the surface, he remained silent, took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Lu Sheng, and said slowly: "Just let you help me send two letters back to the group, what are you nervous about?"
Lu Sheng smiled embarrassedly, with a look of yearning in his eyes, and said after exhaling: "You don't know how much I want to go back to Kyoto, it's much more lively and fun there than here, and I can meet Master Li again." A few years ago, I wanted to worship him as a teacher, but he refused to accept me, and this time I went back to him directly to learn from him, which scared him! ”
The more childish the words came to the back, causing Lin Shan to smile easily, and Lu Sheng's eyes fell on the cash register written on the envelope when he came here, and he said after a pause: "This letter is...... One group, one for each of the two groups? ”
Lin Shan nodded and said, "And you have to keep in mind that first send my letter to the second group of Liu Sheng, and then send the letter of the first group." And when you deliver a set of letters, be sure to look at Luo Qing until he sees the contents of the letters. ”
"Why do you have to send the letter from the second group first?" Lu Sheng's tone showed that he was a little reluctant to send the letter in the order that Lin Shan had instructed, and after hesitating, he added another reason for his reluctance: "The people in the second group are difficult to find all day long, if I look for them first, won't even Brother Luo's letter be delayed?" Actually, it doesn't matter if I go to the first group first and then the second group. ”
Lin Shan's expression suddenly became extremely stern, and he said solemnly: "Xiao Lu, I know what you are thinking, are you going to hand over the two letters to Luo Qing, and then beg him to help you transfer the letters of the second group to Liu Sheng?!"
