Lin Shan remembered that when he left a few days ago, he had placed this box on top of a bookshelf, why was it erected by the door now?

Thinking of something in the box, he naturally bent down to take it, so he ignored the stack of books he was holding in his hand and piled up a little high. As his body tilted, the stack of books fell unbalanced.

Lin Shan subconsciously withdrew his hand to pick up the books, but in the end, more than a dozen books fell to the ground.

The quiet study suddenly made the sound of falling books, at this time Mo Ye was practicing calligraphy in the front yard by taking advantage of the gentle afternoon sunshine, hearing the sound she put down her pen and walked back to the house quickly, and saw Lin Shan, who had just come out of the study, holding a stack of books.

Without waiting for her to speak, she listened to Lin Shan's instructions: "Ye'er, go pick up the books that fell on the floor of the study and send them to the front yard." ”

Mo Ye quickly understood what the voice was just now, and hurriedly nodded and went to the study.

When she came out again, she saw Lin Shan sitting in the front yard where she had just sat when she practiced calligraphy, and the stack of books was resting on the stone table, not spread out to dry, and he did not open a book to read.

Lin Shan was staring at a half-written notebook written by Mo Ye, Mo Ye looked at his somewhat distracted gaze, realized a trace of weirdness, and called softly: "Master? ”

Lin Shan raised his eyes to look at her and did not speak.

"Did something happen?" Seeing this, Mo Ye asked again.

She knew that her master was not a weak scholar, and although she was not sure how high his martial arts were, at least she would not be unsteady even if the stack of books was a little too high.

Lin Shan's gaze froze, and finally spoke: "Ye'er, have you read the books in the study in the past few days?" ”

Mo Ye nodded and said, "Brother Xiao Yi is a little illiterate, let me teach him, so I went to the study to find a few books." ”

"You taught him to read?" Lin Shan laughed, "It's amazing that my disciple has become a female gentleman so quickly!" ”

Mo Ye's face was embarrassed. But she had something else in her heart at this time, so she didn't accompany Lin Shan to tease. After sorting out the clues in her mind, she asked seriously, "Master, is there something missing?" ”

"Anything you can see outside is fine." Lin Shan hesitated for a moment, "It's just that the box, which was originally placed high on the bookshelf, was erected by the door at this time...... I don't know if I'm mistaken. ”

Mo Ye also thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I also saw you put the box on the top floor of the bookshelf that day." ”

She hesitated slightly, and then said, "But at that height. Only adults can get it. ”

"Hmm......" Lin Shan looked at Mo Ye and stopped talking. There was a look in his eyes, and he got up and walked into the room.

Something is not lost. Just look at it.

However, he had just gone up the stairs when a man suddenly fell down in mid-air, to be exact, thrown down by Jiang Chao, who was standing on the roof. Lin Shan stopped and looked back, waiting for him to see the man lying in the dust. I couldn't help but be surprised: "Qiao...... High? ”

"It's me!" Qiao Cui, who was almost broken by Jiang Chao's fall, was hoarse and grinning in pain at this time, struggling to change his body from lying on his stomach to sitting, and when he saw Jiang Chao jumping from under the roof, he hurriedly shouted: "Be merciful, I am really your acquaintance." ”

Jiang Chao, who jumped down, was still holding the axe that was chopping wood in the backyard just now, and noticed the change in Lin Shan's expression. He was about to grab the hand that was going to go to Chotri's front and slowed down, but instead grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him up from the ground.

Subsequently. He held the handle of the axe with his hand horizontal, clenched his fists and said, "In Xiajiangchao, I am really sorry for the offense just now." ”

Qiao Cui rubbed his aching back with one hand, and swung his hand in the air. frowned and said, "Forget it, we didn't know each other before." There are few old people in the world who don't go through the main door when visiting friends like me, and misunderstandings are inevitable! I see that your chopping technique is quite terrible, and you didn't use an axe to chop me directly just now, thank you so much. ”

Jiang Chao said embarrassedly: "Brother Qiao said that he laughed. ”

"I don't think you're the one who wants to say thank you to him." Lin Shan had already walked down the doorway, and said as he walked: "It's a blessing that the one who ran away didn't force Jiang Chao to throw an axe." ”

Qiao Cui was stunned when he heard this.

Lin Shan walked up to him and stopped, smiled and said, "How many years apart, don't come unharmed?" ”

Qiao Cui hadn't recovered from what he had just said, and after a moment of delay, he suddenly grinned: "After being dropped like this, the bones are not broken, so it should be fine." ”

"Well, after a few years, you haven't changed much." Lin Shan took another step closer to Qiao Cui, casually raised a hand and rested it on his shoulder, and then asked, "How is it, now have you figured out whether your surname is Qiao or Cui?" ”

Qiao Cui's eyes shrank, and his answer was a little vague: "Not ...... yet"

Lin Shan sighed and said: "These two words don't be opened for a day, I also think it's very weird, I don't know if it's because it's not as familiar as before." ”

"It's going to take it apart." Qiao Cui smiled and said, "As long as there is enough time for me to find my background." ”

Lin Shan patted him on the shoulder, nodded and said, "Yes, the reason you said when you left a few years ago was that you wanted to live a few more years so that you could save enough time to figure out who you really are." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the palm that was slapped on Qiao Cui's shoulder for the third time suddenly sank.

When Joe Cui realized that something was wrong, his entire left shoulder felt as if it had been dislocated. The paralyzing sensation quickly traveled from the meridians of his shoulders to the entire half of his body, and without a trace of extra time for him to have a chance to resist, his two hands were flipped behind his back by Lin Shan, and the wrist veins were clenched.

Qiao Cui exclaimed: "Brother Lin......"

Lin Shan said coldly: "Since you want to live a few more years, why bother to come to the troubled waters again?" Or rather, who entrusted you with this trip? ”

The tone of his voice made Qiao Cui nervous, and he hurriedly explained: "Brother Lin, please don't get me wrong, every qiē is what Luo Qing meant. ”

"Luo Qing?" Lin Shan's tone was questioning, "You can make it clear, it is true that only a few of them knew that I was here first, but before I came back, I told them to stay away from Kyoto." ”

Qiao Cui's face showed a hesitant look, moved his lips, and squeezed out a few words for a long time: "He asked me to take Lu Sheng back, but ...... I couldn't catch up with him at all. ”

"You can't catch up with him." As Lin Shan spoke, his eyes pointed to Jiang Chao on the side.

Jiang Chao made eye contact with him, suddenly understood, and said, "What I saw just now was two people together. ”

Lin Shan nodded, looked at Qiao Cui again, and said, "Lu Sheng's brain is not all good, it is much easier to deceive him than you deceived those opponents before, what did you discuss with him?" ”

"If I can catch up with him, do I need to fight him?" Qiao Cui lowered his eyebrows a little helplessly, and slowly continued: "Ke Lao has a gift for you, which can be regarded as a reward for your car of books. It's just that thing is a little strange, I made Lu Sheng feel that he couldn't bring that thing into the city without my cooperation, and he believed it. ”

"Ke Jian?" Lin Shan grabbed Qiao Cui's hand and slowed down, "Is he okay?" ”

"He has always been a blacksmith, he has no worries about food and clothing, his ears are not deaf or blind, and he even noticed that Lu Sheng was hiding in the blacksmith in advance, but he deliberately covered it up." Qiao Cui tried to break free from Lin Shan's clamps, but Lin Shan had already taken the initiative to let go, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "But Ke Lao said that he was going to collect the mountain, move his family away, and work in agriculture to support the elderly." ”

"Whether it's harvesting the mountains, it's actually a good choice to farm for health." Lin Shan's face showed a thoughtful expression, and after a pause, he said, "You are so familiar with his situation, have you been at his house for a long time?" ”

"How dare I stay at his house! His guys have to shed a layer of skin every year! Qiao Cui waved his hand and said, "I gave him firewood for a few years, and his hands were full of calluses." ”

Lin Shan smiled and said, "What are you going to do after the Ke family collects the mountain?" With your skills, you will be a woodcutter for the rest of your life, and I will feel a pity when I think about it. ”

Qiao Cui glanced at Lin Shan, suddenly shook his head and said, "I won't go back to the group." ”

"I'm not going to force you." Lin Shan smiled slightly, "I have worked together in the past, please be sure to bring Lu Sheng back to the group." ”

"Why say it so politely." Qiao Cui smiled with a relaxed expression and said, "If it weren't for Luo Qing's high price, I wouldn't have made a move, although this errand is a little hard, but I can make a lot of money." ”

"So you've already planned it." Lin Shan paused and said, "I'm in a hurry today, but I can't keep you in the way of hospitality, so let's go!" ”

Ever since Lin Shan let go of his hand to remove the force that was buckled on his veins, Qiao Cui had already felt that the paralysis below half of his shoulders had gradually faded. After hearing this, he moved his limbs and prepared to leave immediately, but before leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "You won't come to see me off, will you?" ”

Lin Shan said with no expression on his face: "You are not a land student. ”

Qiao Cui immediately threw out a sentence: "I'm not sick in the brain." ”

"He's not sick in the head, he's just missing something." Lin Shan said calmly: "But if you say in front of him that he has a brain disease, he doesn't mind giving you a beating, he likes to learn art from Luo Qing." ”

"Excuse ......"

In a few confusing conversations between the two back and forth, Qiao Cui had already walked away.

Lin Shan retracted his gaze and saw Jiang Chao's eyes full of confusion, as did Mo Ye, who was standing a little farther away.

In the conversation just now, these two people couldn't say a word.

At this moment, Qu Xia, who was originally staying in the backyard, stood at the gate of the main house, looking at the silence of the three people, but he said something clear: "Hey, that person just now seems to be Qiao Cui!" ”

Just as Qu Xia finished saying this, Qiao Cui, who had already left, suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall, and he shouted at Lin Shan: "I was in a hurry to leave just now, I forgot to say it, Ke Lao said that after he moved, you are welcome to meet at any time." ”

"Must go." Lin Shan smiled and waved his hand.

Qiao Cui didn't say anything more, turned around and was about to leave, when there was a thunderous roar in the courtyard, so frightened that he almost fell off the wall.
