Lin Shan laughed halfway, his face was embarrassed when he heard this, and then he also stood up, and did not make any more trouble with Mo Ye, but said to Li Shi very calmly: "I just burned some discarded paper, it is difficult to reassure people if this thing is not burned." ”

Although Lin Shan has hidden more and more things from Li over the years, Li knows Lin Shan, even if he doesn't know the details of what he burned, Li can understand that Lin Shan needs to burn those things.

Therefore, in the face of Lin Shan's explanation, Li Shi didn't say anything, just looked slightly different, and then said in a slow tone: "That's it, the meal is ready, come in and eat." ”

When Li Shi turned around and went into the house, Lin Shan also bent down and picked up the box on the ground. Before stepping into the house, he brushed the hem of his shirt with one hand on his sleeve and complained to Mo Ye: "Help Master block it, don't you want to help with this little favor?" ”

Mo Ye seemed to be very proud of the successful betrayal of his master this time, and he stuck out his tongue at Lin Shan without feeling guilty at all, and had no words.

Lin Shan watched sideways as the pile of paper under the flower bed finally burned out, and the last wisp of smoke floated out, he retracted his gaze, walked towards the big house, and sighed lightly: "It seems that this is a matter of heaven's will." ”

Hearing this, Mo Ye hurriedly picked up his steps and stayed beside Lin Shan, looked at him and asked, "What is the will of heaven deciding?" ”

Lin Shan said to Mo Ye gently: "You may not know that your Uncle Ma was just my attendant. Because I prefer to ride a car, I don't like to ride a horse, so I have the most contact with him who is good at driving a car, and he didn't have a big name, and then we went out of Beijing to live in Xingjia Village for a while, and there must always be a pseudonym at this time, so Ma An asked me to say an An. ”

When Lin Shan arrived here, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and then he said: "The teacher gave me the word 'Anyuan', and Ma An asked me for the word 'An' at the beginning, but now that I think about it, I would be wrong!" ”

Mo Ye felt that this past was very interesting, or she found all of her master's past very interesting, and silently listened to Lin Shan's recollection of this, she couldn't help but cover her lips and laugh. However, she didn't laugh for a while, and Lin Shan's next words made her face slowly clear again.

"Ma'an, Ma'an, he is our horse, our saddle, your Uncle Ma's words must still have some basis." Lin Shan took a deep breath: "When I left Beijing, although it only took about a stick of incense to get together when I left the city, if there was no Ma An at that time, things would have been a lot of trouble!" If he goes with him this time, maybe he will be able to save a lot of trouble. He exhaled the long breath slowly, "But now that he is about to become a father, it is clear that he will not mention it." ”

Mo Ye knew that Lin Shan should have decided not to agree with Ma An, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and at the same time, she remembered another question, and asked softly: "Master, if it weren't for this matter of the little aunt, would you still agree to Uncle Ma going with you?" ”

Lin Shan glanced at Mo Ye and didn't say anything, just shook his head, not knowing whether he was expressing the word "won't", or denying from the origin of the question that Mo Ye shouldn't ask this question, which now seems to be a question that doesn't seem to be possible.

Then, his steps suddenly quickened, and he stepped into the door of the main house in three or two steps.

Mo Ye was slightly stunned. She didn't ask any more questions about this question, in fact, when she met Lin Shan's gaze just now, she suddenly vaguely realized a terrible problem. She didn't dare or want to pursue it any further, hoping that it was an illusion. Then she also quickened her pace and followed Lin Shan into the house to eat.

The meal was extraordinarily dull. Li Shi apologized to everyone for his momentary kindness to attract thieves, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart. Ma An glanced at Mo Ye from time to time, Mo Ye had to try his best to keep him, so that he could not go to Kyoto, but the casual means made him pay some attention, looking at the bowl of rice in his hand, he also had some uncertain thoughts in his heart.

Lin Shan has always talked less at the dinner table, but at this time, he has something in his heart, and his expression looks even more gloomy. Mo Ye was mechanically stuffy and was about to go to Kyoto, she had a lot of ideas, but when she thought that she must not let her aunt and Uncle Ma go with her this time, she would not be able to use the matter of going to Kyoto as a chatter.

Everyone seemed to know what each other was doing and was dull, but at the same time, they didn't know what the details of what everyone was silent about, but none of the four of them were willing to communicate about it.

After finishing the meal, Lin Shan beckoned Mo Ye into the study.

Ma An watched the door of the study close tightly, locking him out, he sighed in his heart, and he could probably feel that he couldn't follow this time. Not to mention Mo Ye's careful calculations, the reason why he still left space for Lin Shan to decide in the love that he insisted on going was because he knew that as long as Lin Shan didn't nod, even if Mo Ye suddenly changed his mind and begged him to go, he wouldn't be able to go.

As soon as he turned around and walked to the backyard, Ma An wanted to help Li Shi clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but he was immediately kicked out by Li Shi, just because there were too many broken plates and bowls that slipped from his hands, and every plate and bowl that was broken by him was a reason for Li Shi to refuse him to wash the dishes.

With the transparent accusations plastered on his body after being reprimanded by the Li family, Ma An had no choice but to go to the shack, ready to chat with his Ma brother as usual. But Ma An soon realized that in broad daylight, the only outsider in the family was still there, so it was inconvenient for him to confide in some thoughts in his heart at this time, so he could only use a brush to silently comb the old horse's mane.

I didn't want to brush it, Ma An suddenly remembered Tao Yelai, and also remembered Mo Yeguo's words, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly, and he muttered in his heart: Sister Tao, can you understand my thoughts? In fact...... I don't know what to do at the moment!

When Mo Ye walked into the study and saw that Lin Shan had closed the door very tightly, she couldn't help but wonder a little. Lin Shan saw the look on her face, and explained without waiting for her to ask: "I just said that I would tell you about the method of hiding the marks of those manuscript paper sorts, but you must keep this thing secret from the outside world. ”

Mo Ye didn't suspect Lin Shan's other intentions, but now that she heard Lin Shan's explanation, her attitude and spirit naturally became strict, and at the same time, she vaguely felt in her heart that what the master was going to teach him next was probably not as simple as the hidden markers used for sorting. She didn't speak, just nodded seriously after listening to Lin Shan's words.

Lin Shan motioned for Mo Yela to sit down next to the desk, and then he sat down across from the desk, took out the letter from his sleeve pocket, and took out the letterhead rolled into strips and spread it out on the table.

Mo Ye had been staring at the creed, this thing was obtained by her, but she consciously did not open it without permission, but this did not mean that she did not have curiosity in her heart. It's just that at this time, when the master personally spread out the creed that was less than the size of a palm in front of her, Mo Ye, who found that there was nothing written on the paper, couldn't help but let out a soft "huh".

Lin Shan personally unfolded the letterhead in front of Mo Ye, and this behavior was already an indication that he would explain this qiē to Mo Ye endlessly. So when he saw the puzzled look on Mo Ye's face, Lin Shan didn't wait for Mo Ye to ask, he had already taken the initiative to explain: "There is no word, but it can be more certain of its identity." ”

Mo Ye nodded lightly again, she still didn't speak, just quietly waited for Master's next move.

After Lin Shan's first sentence was explained, he scooped out a fire fold from the drawer and blew it up, then scooped up the note flat and placed it on top of the flame.

When Mo Ye saw this scene, she remembered the scroll that was burned by herself, and she mentally reflexively wanted to stop Lin Shan's behavior. It's just that she just got up from the chair, but she slowly sat back calmly, because she found that the paper in Lin Shan's hand was slowly showing some words in the place where it had been roasted by the flames, which were words that expressed numbers. At the same time, she also realized that the material of the note in Lin Shan's hand was actually not afraid of fire.

Although the 'paper' is not afraid of fire, when Lin Shan 'burns' it and puts it on the table, although there are many numbers on the paper, it is still as if it has been burnt. However, it is still very different from the paper that has been burned to powder, that is, it has not been broken into dust, and the dark color does not affect the legibility of the text information it carries.

Lin Shan extinguished the fire and put it on the table, then said to Mo Ye with a smile: "It should not be difficult for you to guess that the letters I sent out were all covered up. That's it! It is made of charcoal, which can be made to manifest by ordinary fire. In the event of a fire, for example, our house was set on fire by someone else, and in the event of such a fire, the things written on this small piece of paper can still maintain this shape as long as they are not deliberately destroyed. ”

Mo Ye listened quietly to Lin Shan's explanation, and was surprised in his heart. It's just that when she heard Lin Shan's last sentence, in addition to the shocked emotion in her heart, she also had another idea with unknown motives: Floods are mostly natural disasters, but fires are mostly **, Master's words, I'm afraid it has ulterior motives!

Lin Shan's words paused for a moment, and then continued: "In fact, such a secret letter only has the effect of protecting the content of the letter for ordinary people, if you meet an expert who gets this letter, it is estimated that it will not take long to know the mystery of its reading." However, this creed is only equivalent to a key attached to a lock, and it is useless to find the lock if you have a key, but if the key is lost, as long as the person who made the lock is still there, you can still make another key. ”

Hearing this, Mo Ye raised his eyebrows and said softly: "Is the 'lock' of the master the scroll of paper?"
