Out of Lin Shan's study, Ma An saw that the hall was empty, and couldn't help but shake his head again. Out of the house, he was ready to go to his old buddy, Brother Ma, who had helped him pull the cart for several years.

Walking to the backyard, Ma An saw that Mo Ye and Xing Feng were also there at the Ma She.

I saw Xingfeng standing outside the manger, looking at the horse that was concentrating on grazing, shaking his ears from time to time, and was slightly distracted. Seeing this, Mo Ye on the side asked, "Brother Xingfeng, do you like horses?" ”

Xing Feng smiled slightly and said, "I saw this horse five years ago, and I know its eyes, and they are still so bright. ”

Mo Ye thought of herself who was still in infancy five years ago, and because of it, she thought of her parents, and she couldn't help but feel a wisp of sour thoughts in her heart, but on the surface, she could only sigh vaguely: "Five years ago, ......"

Xing Feng was still smiling, and he thought of the scene when he met Mo Ye's master at his doorstep five years ago. At that time, the first thing that caught his attention was actually the horse in front of him, and then the gentleman stepped out of the carriage, Mo Ye should have been in the carriage at that time, right? Maybe he wasn't born at that time.

Thinking of this, Xing Feng couldn't help but raise his hand, but when he was about to stretch forward, he seemed to remember something taboo, and his hand stretched out in the air froze. When he was about to withdraw his hand, he heard Mo Ye on the side smile and say, "Don't be afraid, it's very well-behaved." ”

A smile appeared on Xing Feng's face when he heard this, and then he was relieved to continue to stretch his hand forward. When his hand covered the horse's face and stroked it lightly a few times, the horse suddenly stretched out his tongue and licked the back of Xingfeng's hand, and Xingfeng quickly withdrew his hand.

Although the feeling of being licked by a horse's tongue is not very pleasant, even those with delicate skin may feel a slight tingling sensation in their skin if they are licked by the horse's tongue. And Xing Feng didn't care about these physical feelings at this time, because there was a wave in his heart, not surprised or excited.

Mo Ye, who was standing aside, suddenly said: "I've heard Uncle Ma, this is a horse recognizing people!" ”

Xing Feng's eyes showed a new look in his eyes and asked, "Do horses also recognize people?" ”

Mo Ye smiled and said: "The old horse recognizes the way, and the good horse recognizes the person." This horse has also been in my house for some years, and although it does not wag its tail like a dog to please its owner, it will sometimes neigh in a low voice when it sees its owner. Uncle Ma, this horse is already very spiritual. ”

After listening to her explanation, Xing Feng couldn't help but reach out and stroke the side of the horse's face a few times. This time the horse was caressed by the torture wind and did not make any more moves, but stopped for a moment while chewing on the hay, and then continued to chew intently and earnestly.

I heard Mo Ye say again: "It doesn't seem to bother you." ”

Xing Feng smiled at Mo Ye when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.

While the two of them were talking, Ma An had already walked over and suddenly said, "Long enough, right?" ”

Xingfeng was stunned. Because he was still reminiscing about the strange feeling just now, and Ma An's interjection also seemed a little abrupt that did not match the scene-he really didn't have much talent for joking-so Xing Feng didn't understand what Ma An was referring to for a while.

Mo Ye is familiar with Ma An's habits, and he has already developed a habitual resonance for his behavior that is not good at enlivening the atmosphere, but likes to make jokes very much. I heard her say to Ma An: "You are not as good as Uncle Ma, that horse just has a long face, and your face is long and thick." ”

When Ma An heard this, he was suddenly a little annoyed when he was reprimanded by Li Shi, but he didn't know how to talk back. Because Mo Ye often quarrels with him like this, but he has never really turned his face. So he could only sigh silently: It seems that his thick-skinned image in front of the eldest sister has indeed been ingrained in Mo Ye's heart! I shouldn't be clever in front of my family, and now in front of the little girl who is most likely to admire and worship herself, the glorious image has fallen into the abyss forever.

Ma An was deflated for a long time, and finally smiled helplessly, ignoring Mo Ye, and just said to Xing Feng: "You have the spirituality of Tongma." ”

It was only then that Xing Feng lost the meaning of what Ma An had just said. He couldn't help but look at the horse in the stable, then looked at Ma An's face, and suddenly muttered, "Ah...... It seems so. ”

When it was getting dark, Li Shi made dinner and beckoned everyone to sit around the table and prepare to eat. It was the first time to eat with so many strangers, and Xing Feng only felt uncomfortable. He originally thought that a family like this should have a lot of attention when eating, so he was afraid that he would make something wrong, but what happened next made him unconsciously let go of this nervous mood.

During the short three months he was studying at Lizheng Academy, he also read some essays and essays in the library and learned about some trivial matters of famous families. But when I was eating at Mo Ye's house today, the terms and conditions recorded in those written records only used one or two of the most basic. It is nothing more than that before the meal, everyone consciously went to the well in the backyard to wash their hands, and after the meal, Li Shi brought out a pot of prepared diet tea from the kitchen to pour a cup for everyone as a drink for a break after the meal, and there was nothing else.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was very casual. Mo Ye naturally asked Xing Feng about some things in the Shanshui Academy, and Xing Feng was happy to answer, but at the beginning, he was still subconsciously shy and didn't dare to speak.

At this time, Ma An interjected a few words, and was beaten by Mo Ye, Ma An was about to complain a few words, but was blocked back by Li Shi, so Ma An became the most boring person at the dinner table today. Ma An and Li Shi, the two adults, exchanged a few words back and forth because of Mo Ye, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little unusually active. Xing Feng's feelings were affected, and he unconsciously let go of the shackles in his heart, and told Mo Ye a lot about the Shanshui Academy.

And from Xing Feng's tone, Mo Ye felt that his confidence and excitement were completely different from when he was in Lizheng Academy more than a month ago, and she also felt happy.

Towards the end of dinner, Lin Shan, who had been eating reservedly and seriously since the dinner table, smiled slightly from time to time because of the content of the other people's chats, but did not intervene much, also began to participate in the chatting activities. The rice in his bowl was exhausted, so he picked up the glass of wine that had been poured from the beginning of the meal, tasted it slowly, and then slowly introduced the few people present to Xing Feng.

After Lin Shan's explanation, Xing Feng felt greatly surprised.

Of the five people here, except for himself, the other three adults have no blood relationship with Mo Ye at all, but these three people are like a father to Mo Ye, like a loving mother, and as close as a brother. The three most precious and intimate feelings of a person in the world, Mo Ye is not missing because of the absence of his parents. But the three people who cherished her gave so much, but it was not because of the relationship between blood relatives.

After dinner, Xing Feng held the tea cup, looked at the light brown diet tea soup in the cup with a somewhat stunned gaze, and fell into some kind of contemplation for the somewhat strange combination of the Mo Ye family.

At this time, he heard a sound from the kitchen, Xing Feng looked up, and saw Ma An coming in backwards from the back door of the hall, and said with a smile as he retreated: "Eldest sister, I asked you to wash the dishes just now, and I said this, so naturally I have to do it." ”

As Ma An retreated to the flower hall, he saw Li Shi walking in, and she was still holding a bowl that she didn't know what to hold. Hearing Ma An's words, she said in a tone like an order: "You don't need to wash the dishes, go to the kitchen and scoop the two eggs boiled on the stove, peel them and roll the child's forehead, even if you atone for your sins." ”

"Yes, yes."

As soon as Li Shi's words fell, Ma An hurriedly ran to the backyard kitchen like a soldier.

Li Shi approached Mo Ye with the bowl of things, glanced at Xing Feng who was sitting on the side, and there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and finally she sighed softly and said, "Since he can take you to stay here, he has naturally considered some taboos." Maybe I'm overthinking, but I'd like to ask you not to leak out what you're seeing in the future. ”

When Xing Feng heard this, his eyes were slightly awkward. Although he didn't know what Li meant by this sentence, he nodded solemnly.

As soon as Mo Ye saw Li Shi coming in with a bowl, she immediately made a move that made Xing Feng a little incomprehensible, she spread her hands into palms and covered her face, covering her eyes tightly.

Xing Feng saw Li Shi put the bowl on the table next to Mo Ye, and went back to the kitchen without anything. At this time, Mo Ye slowly opened a finger between the palms covering his face, and glanced at the black soup in the bowl on the table, with a slight fear in his eyes, as if looking at a monster.

Seeing this, Xing Feng couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What is this?" ”

Mo Ye's hands were still on her eyes, and she tilted her mouth slightly, expressing her disgust with the bowl of things, and then said, "Unpalatable medicine." ”

"Medicine?"

Xing Feng expressed a word of confusion. In his opinion, Mo Ye was very normal all day, no sneezing and no coughing, so why drink such a bowl of medicinal soup that looked very thick?

It's just that he quickly thought of what Li Shi said just now, and vaguely realized that there must be some other things in it. It's just that no matter what these things are, they are also things that he is not suitable to know, so he didn't ask the doubts in his heart next. But he saw that Mo Ye's eyes were full of sadness, and he subconsciously thought about something, but he didn't know where to speak, so he had to fall into a somewhat stiff silence.
