Mo Ye fell asleep with tears in his tears after being comforted by Li Shi's warm words for a long time, and Li Shi could only sigh empty about this. After settling Mo Ye, she originally wanted to scoop up the broom and clean up Lin Shan's messy study, but she heard Mo Ye's even breathing after falling asleep, and didn't want to wake her up again, so she pressed this thought down temporarily.

The next morning, Mo Ye woke up suddenly, but he didn't know why. She sat on the bed for a while, and then she remembered all the events of the previous night, and her heart was worried and a little scared.

Dressing herself up, she walked out of the room with a slight step, glanced towards Lin Shan's study, and found that the door was closed. After hesitating for a moment, she was about to approach the study to see if the master had returned, when she saw her aunt coming in from the backyard with a tray.

Seeing that Mo Ye had already gotten up, Li Shi smiled and said, "Breakfast is ready, you go and wash up." ”

Mo Ye noticed that the two bowls on the tray were filled with green vegetable noodle soup, not the porridge and side dishes that she was used to eating, and after thinking about it, she said, "Auntie, hasn't my master come back yet?" ”

Li Shi nodded, and then comforted her: "Don't worry, your uncle didn't come back either, I guess I went to take care of him." ”

Mo Yemu said in surprise: "Uncle Ma didn't come back either?" ”

"They're all adults, don't you have to worry about one of your children?" Li Shi looked at Mo Ye's face and smiled, "Go wash up and get ready for breakfast." Today, my aunt will take you to the academy, this is the first time I will take you to the academy, don't take the wrong way because of distraction! ”

Li Shi's words to liven up the atmosphere didn't bring much joy to Mo Ye, she just smiled reluctantly at this, and then went to the backyard to wash up.

Today was the first time she had felt this way, there were two people missing from the room, but she felt a big empty piece in her heart.

It's a very bad feeling...... Very bad......

The more Mo Ye thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart. She stirred the towel in the basin aimlessly, looked stunned for a moment, and then wrung the towel until it was half-dry, shook it off, and spread it on her face. But the towel was blown up by her long exhale, and it didn't cover the tears that had slid down her cheeks.

》》》》》》》》》

The county seat, the second floor of the north and south stacks.

Ma An took a basin of hot water from Xiao Er, and when Xiao Er went downstairs, he turned around and walked into the room behind him, hooked his feet, and kicked the door shut. The wooden door slammed against the door frame, and the wood fell with a loud bang.

In the room, the morning sun with a faint orange hue shines through the open window, reflecting on the six-legged table under the window, and also on the person sitting at the table.

Lin Shan's gaze fell fixedly on the orange sunrise halo on the table. His hair was scattered, and his face was a little depressed, but the complexion that appeared more profound was the endless tiredness that came out of the corners of his half-drooping eyes. He was covered with a thin blanket, but it showed that his back was as thin as a knife.

The loud sound of Ma An's kick on the door interrupted Lin Shan's sluggish feeling that he didn't know when it was coming from, and he raised his head slightly to look at Ma An.

Ma An threw the basin on the table, and when he saw Lin Shan subconsciously shrink his hand, he said angrily: "Crazy for half a night, stupid for half a night, are you awake now?" Alas...... Wake up, I'll go to sleep when you're awake! ”

Lin Shan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he reached into the basin, still according to his previous habit of washing his face, wrung out the face towel soaked in water, and then shook it off and spread it on his face. Then he tilted his head and seemed to continue to be in a daze.

Ma An did not sit with him, but lay down on the bed beside him.

At this time, Lin Shan ripped off the face towel on his face and said to Ma An: "Lie on the bed without taking off your shoes, you haven't changed this habit?" ”

Ma An suddenly sat up from the bed, smiled at Lin Shan, and then said, "You are willing to speak." Mo Ye burned something to you last night, and if you want to make such a big fire, she is probably half scared to death. ”

Lin Shan sighed, did not hide it, and replied directly in a deep voice: "Qingchuan...... Battle map. ”

"Battle ......" Ma An only said one word, and then he closed his mouth and looked vigilant.

"The one behind the high wall of Kyoto wants to sweep away the Qingchuan area, and this idea has been in his heart for a long time." Lin Shan's face was gloomy: "He flew a letter every month to persuade me, and I only had to wait for Liao Shilai to settle the matter of Mo Ye's medicine, and then wait for Mo Ye to enter the academy so I had free time, and then I started to plan this matter." ”

When Maan heard this, he immediately jumped out of bed. He hurriedly walked to the door, opened the door and poked his head out, looked around for a long time, and then closed the door, then walked to Lin Shan's side and sat down, and asked with a solemn expression: "Can't it be restored?" You should also have sketches. ”

"Although I burned a lot of sketches for the sake of secrecy, I can still remember the fixed structure." Lin Shan had also come back to his senses and realized some taboo issues, he lowered his voice a little, and then continued: "However, there are some key parts that have been modified and improved, and I am not confident that they can be restored. ”

"There are some things, like inspiration in the poet's heart, that are fleeting, and if they are lost, they are difficult to get back. But what I have mastered is fatally different from the flashy things like poetry and songs. If there is the slightest mistake, many lives could be held accountable for this vulnerability. Lin Shandao Finally, he suddenly gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table. The entire wooden floor was shaken by the force of his punch, and the thin blanket he was draped over was trembling to the ground by his angry punch.

Ma An hurriedly said, "Don't be angry...... Don't get angry...... This is not at home, so don't disturb anyone else. ”

It may be that last night's anger hit his lungs, and at this time, he was angry again, Lin Shan only felt a tightness in his chest, and then he reached out to cover his lips and coughed again.

Ma An hurriedly picked up the thin blanket that had slipped to the ground and draped it on Lin Shan's shoulders again. Noticing the blood stains on the placket of Lin Shan's clothes that had dried into scabs, he frowned slightly, and asked a little nervously, "Why did you bleed so much last night?" How does it feel now? If you feel unwell, you can't bear it! ”

Lin Shan slowly calmed down his cough, and said with a turbid voice: "After staying up all night for many days, I was already a little anxious. Last night, when I saw that the matter was about to be completed, I couldn't help but be excited and just had some nosebleeds, which was nothing. ”

Yes, the blood can be regenerated when it is shed, but after that thing is burned...... It will take another two years to recover, and it will not be able to fully recover. The damage caused by such a loss to Lin Shanshan is far more painful than bloodshed.

Although Ma An only learned today, Lin Shan has become more and more busy these days, and what exactly he is busy with. But when he thought of what was recorded on that scroll of paper, which was related to the success or failure of the war between the two countries, his heart was also relaxed.

"Actually, what I'm most worried about now is not whether that picture can be restored, but the one in Kyoto, how can I tell him about it." Lin Shan, who had rested for a while, said slowly: "Although I only talked to him in one letter a month, I can already feel between the lines that now, he is a little different from before. ”

"However, people who have been sitting in that position for a long time are suspicious, and it should be a skill that must be learned!" Lin Shan sighed lightly and continued, "Last month, I told him in a letter that I flew to Kyoto, and the drawings were almost finished. And it has only been less than a month, what reason am I going to use to sue him again, and I will have to wait for another two years? ”

Ma An groaned: "Are you afraid that he will suspect you of insincerity?" ”

"After all, I haven't seen him for a few years, and in the intervening years, he doesn't know how many cunning people he has to face. It is important to know that people's personalities change with the circumstances in which they live. A flash of melancholy flashed in Lin Shan's eyes, and he continued with his eyes down: "At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, it was the most critical few years, but I insisted on leaving, and he was angry that night. ”

Ma An said lightly: "But he still let you go." ”

"That was seven years ago. At that time, even if he was angry, he would still agree to let me leave with Mo Ye in the end. Lin Shan showed a smile without any warmth on his face, and said: "Now that seven years have passed, after these seven years of hard work, I only hope that he scolded me angrily that night, and when I recall it now, I don't sink that anger into his heart." ”

When his words came here, he heard footsteps on the stairs, and then Xiao Er knocked on the door, and it turned out that he was collecting the pot.

Ma An sent the basin out, and when he closed the door and turned around, he saw Lin Shan pick a light topic and said, "Why don't you have to kick it this time?" ”

Ma An didn't expect him to change the topic so quickly, and after being stunned for a moment, he suddenly rubbed his fists and smiled: "I actually want to kick you now more than kicking the door." You were crazy last night, and I'm going crazy too, but I can't go crazy with you, that kind of situation is really tormenting! ”

Lin Shan just smiled when he heard this, and began to use his fingers as a comb and pull up his hair.

Ma An found a wooden comb in the drawer of the small cabinet at the bedside and threw it to Lin Shan, and then took out the hair ribbon that Lin Shan had left last night from his sleeve and threw it on the table, and then he lay back on the bed.

Stilted feet trembled slightly, and he said casually, "When are you going to go back?" Last night, the eldest sister told me, if you don't want to go back, let me find a way to tie you back, I will be merciful to your subordinates! ”

Lin Shan pinched the brocade belt with his fingers, wrapped his hair one by one, and said: "If the thing is burned, it should be regarded as the will of heaven, give me a few days of leisure!" For the sake of the plan, I have been silent for a long time, and I will not go back for the next few days, so you accompany me to have a drink
