Xing Feng asked three questions in a row, and the last question suddenly changed, causing Lin Shan's hand to stagnate when he was brushing the dust on his body. But the movement of his hand only stopped for a moment, and then he continued to easily dust off the dust on his clothes, as if he did not stop until he was satisfied, and stood with his hands down, and said with a flat face: "Now that you can see this, I don't know whether to be happy or worried." ”

Noticing that Lin Shan didn't mean to joke, Xing Feng realized that the doubts he had only had in that moment just now might not be simple, and after a little silence, he chose to wait for an answer with a calm attitude.

"Why did you say that, sir?"

Lin Shan pondered for a moment before he spoke slowly, "You don't know why I know so much about the true situation on this waterfront, just as you don't know my true identity at all. ”

When Lin Shan came here, he didn't have any happiness and smiled at the corners of his lips: "Although you can have some doubts now, I am not ready to tell you my true identity, I just want to tell you something." When you first walked into my house five years ago, I said to you, I hope you haven't forgotten it. ”

Lin Shan's words evoked the memories of Xingfeng. If he first saw Lin Shan next to a pile of chopping wood five years ago, Xing Feng had a preliminary understanding of Lin Shan's humility and a touch of fierceness, then when he first saw Lin Shan at Mo Ye's house, although that impression had sunk into the depths of his memory today, once it was mentioned and then turned over from his mind, that scene was as vivid as new.

In the courtyard that day, Lin Shan's words to him before closing the courtyard door had already burned into his heart, and that sentence was also the reason why he had always had a respectful and fearful attitude towards Lin Shan in the past few years.

Xing Feng didn't know what he was afraid of about this gentleman, in short, whether he had been in Lizheng Academy or later in Shanshui Academy, he couldn't treat this gentleman with the same attitude as other senior brothers.

But it was also a strange attitude that Xingfeng never questioned the character of this gentleman because he always seemed to be veiled. So when Xing Feng recalled that sentence, he just said with a sad expression after being silent for a while: "Do you mean that you are leaving?" ”

"Yes." Lin Shan's expression softened a little when he saw the sadness in Xing Feng's eyes, but his words were still firm: "I was here five years ago, and we will leave here one day, and we won't stay for long." ”

Xing Feng wanted to speak and stopped, and then fell silent again, I don't know what he was thinking in his heart, at this time, Mo Ye's shout came from not far away. Although Mo Ye, who had been chasing on foot, could not keep up with the speed of the galloping horse, the bend of the mountain was not too far from the waterfront, and she finally caught up with it, and when the two men fell into a strange silence, her voice shattered a piece of mirror water.

Sensitive identity and lack of intimate partners, such a growth environment made Mo Ye develop a habit of being very good at observing things around him. So as she approached, she noticed that the two horses had their skins stripped of their knees, and that they were covered in dust.

Xingfeng had gone after the merchant horse before, but now there were only two horses left on the spot. Mo Ye glanced at the muddy water under the shore in front of her, and finally her gaze fell on Xing Feng's face, she noticed that Xing Feng's expression was a little gloomy, and she would say wrongly: "Brother Xing, it doesn't matter if the horse doesn't chase it back, I'll go and make amends to Senior Brother Fang." However, his horses are marked, and they may be able to know their way back, so don't worry. ”

Xing Feng heard the real concern from Mo Ye's words, and at the same time, he also knew that Mo Ye would be wrong. After listening to the gentleman's words just now, his mood suddenly changed, and he felt that his mind Mo Ye couldn't see through, and although the age gap between the master and apprentice was not father and daughter, there was something in common in their words all the time. is also not related by blood, there always seems to be a barrier between herself and Mo Ye, and the tacit understanding between them cannot achieve the realm between her and that gentleman. In contrast, his mood became more and more depressed.

At this time, Xing Feng didn't realize that because he knew that the Mo Ye family was about to leave, and this kind of 'departure' came out of the mouth of that gentleman, it seemed that there was no possibility of coming back, so his mood became depressed for a while, and he began to compete with himself, almost walking into a dead end.

It's like a person who has suffered a big setback and becomes discouraged, and he will blame himself or feel sorry for many misfortunes he has experienced, without thinking that these misfortunes have passed. A negative mindset can change the way people see things, and in such a mood, the slightest mistake that can be almost ignored becomes very obvious.

At this time, Xing Feng fell into an iron hoop of self-consciousness, but he never thought that he was Mo Ye's only friend, and he was the only friend of Mo Ye recognized by that gentleman. His friendship with Mo Ye does not need many words to frame, this is the advantage and characteristics that others cannot replicate when he is friends with Mo Ye.

"I" Xing Feng said in a deep voice, he didn't tell Mo Ye what he really couldn't let go, after hesitating for a while, he said something that he didn't know what he meant: "I'm sorry." ”

Mo Ye was stunned, she immediately looked at Lin Shan, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, what's going on?" ”

Lin Shan said with a hint of reproach in his eyes: "Do you think it's hard to guess? In order to recover the frightened horse for you, he almost fell into the deep water with a man and a horse. ”

Of course, Lin Shan knew why Xing Feng was depressed, but he still deliberately misunderstood Xing Feng's words like Mo Ye.

Lin Shan's tone was not very harsh, but Mo Ye still shrunk her neck after hearing this, and then she lowered her head and said, "Brother Xing, this is all my willfulness. If I hadn't listened to Master's words and didn't compete, this wouldn't have happened, I'm sorry! ”

Xing Feng hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, besides, if Mr. hadn't stopped me just now, I would have been planted in the water because of a moment of recklessness, but in the end, Mr. saved me." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lin Shan say again: "Ye'er, how much trouble have you caused to Xingfeng over the years?" And I owe it to him. Just as you asked me to come to the horse race this time to make a choice, I also felt that it was time to repay him, because our master and apprentice owe the Xing family too much. Actually, I had already planned before the game that I would not win this tournament, but I would like to see Xingfeng beat me. ”

Mo Ye raised his head suddenly, but he didn't speak. Xing Feng was also shocked in his heart, shocked by this gentleman's thoughts.

The reason why he agreed to the event was to test his riding skills with the pressure of the event. But if there is no such accident today, I am afraid that at the last moment of the race, this gentleman will secretly quit.

The sentence "I want to see the torture wind beat me" contains heavy expectations, but this gentleman clearly intends to tell himself that he will leave, why does he think so highly of himself?

Xing Feng's eyes were touched by the emotion in his heart, but at the same time, he felt contradictory and incomprehensible in his heart, so there was a rare gathering of strong complex feelings in his eyes.

Just when Xing Feng had many questions in his heart and didn't know how to get out, he suddenly heard Lin Shan say to Mo Ye: "Ye'er, you take these two horses back first, and report to them that they are safe, and Xing Feng and I will arrive later." ”

Mo Ye had also seen that Xing Feng had something on her mind at this time, so after Lin Shan's words, she didn't say anything more, and led the two horses away after nodding.

The two watched Mo Ye walk away, and Lin Shan took the first step and said calmly: "You must have a lot of questions in your heart now, but I can't answer all of your questions, because the solution of one mystery will most likely cause more mysteries to be revealed." ”

He sighed softly here, and then continued: "Originally, I wanted to prepare to tell you this again, but today because of this accident, you have been aware of it in advance, and since this is the case, then at this time, I will tell you something that I can let you know." ”

"Not only do I know that there are several dangerous shoals in this water, but I have been to all the waters within ten miles of this place, and I have done all this because of a plan that I should not tell you. You don't need to know who I am, but as long as you are a citizen of this land for a day, you don't have to question whether I am acting in bad faith. Finally, I think I'm sorry to let Mo Ye get to know you, because these may cause you a lot of trouble later on. ”

The complicated colors in Xingfeng's eyes gradually faded, but they were replaced by a heavier look of surprise, and finally when Lin Shan's words were finished, he turned into a confused one.

Just as he had heard the gentleman's admonitions five years ago, today he was again bewildered by this new batch of admonitions. Five years ago, the sentence "We won't live here permanently, we will be unfamiliar, but we will be good to everyone." Now Xing Feng has come to understand, and today's words seem clueless to him, but he subconsciously feels that only by keeping these words in mind at this moment can he have a chance to answer them in the future.

After the two were relatively silent for a while, Lin Shan changed the topic and said calmly: "I originally planned to give you a parting gift, but among the three treasures of the generals, I can't scoop up the armor and equipment, but there is still an old horse in the exclusive horse to get some table, but you have already obtained a good horse, so I can only move my mouth a little insincere and send you some words." ”

Lin Shan was light, but when Xing Feng heard this, he raised expectations in his heart. He temporarily suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, looked serious, and said respectfully, "Sir, please speak."
