There are no strict requirements for buying land and building houses in Zhaoguo, and the houses are generally only one floor, and the technical requirements are relatively simple, and ordinary masons can master them.

However, if you want to build two or three floors high, the technology of building a house becomes extremely difficult. The timber used for the larger beams and columns alone, as well as the planks for laying the entire building, cost a lot of money. The solidity of the first floor is directly related to the stability of the second or third floor, so the coordination between the stone mortar and the wood is also very particular.

If it weren't for a business like a restaurant or restaurant, which needed to accommodate the surge of people at the same time, and it had to have a certain environmental character, so that people could enjoy their eyes while eating, instead of eating against four walls and blocking their hearts, they would not spend a lot of money to build the building higher.

Ordinary houses, pharmacies, cloth villages, etc. are only built on one floor. Now in Lin Shan's eyes, the streets downstairs are stable in all directions, and the houses are arranged in an orderly manner, revealing the characteristics of this inland town in Zhongzhou that are peaceful and wealthy.

Lin Shan, who was standing by the window and looking out of the window, didn't know if he suddenly thought of something, and he suddenly said lightly: "Ma An should also consider marrying a wife." ”

When Mo Ye heard this, she withdrew her gaze from the window and looked at Lin Shan, but she didn't speak, and Lin Shan, who was still looking out of the window, was silent for a while, and then said as if talking to herself: "There are only three people in the family, I often have to go to the academy, and I almost treat him as a groom, I'm sorry for him, Sister Li takes care of the family's affairs and is very busy, what about you?"

Lin Shan suddenly turned his head to look at Mo Ye, his eyes were solemn, Mo Ye couldn't help but shrink his gaze, and listened to Lin Shan continue: "Except for letting him play with you and causing trouble for him, it seems that there is nothing left." ”

Lin Shanwan looked out the window again, and said with some worry: "Listen to a rough helper I recruited for him, he will occasionally talk to the horse, alas, no matter how close the brothers are, no matter how close the friends are, it is better to marry a lady and come back, the two often snuggle up with some intimate words to make people's hearts warm." ”

When Mo Ye heard him like this, he suddenly remembered a question in his heart, Uncle Ma is still a few years younger than Master, how can Master worry about others, and he never thought that he hadn't married a wife yet? As soon as this thought came to her heart, the feeling of fear came again, and she couldn't help but wonder again: If Master really married a wife, what kind of woman would it be? Will you take care of yourself like Master?

At this time, Lin Shan, who was standing by the window, couldn't imagine the little Jiujiu that Mo Ye was thinking about at this time, he seemed to have begun to raise for Ma An, and said slowly: "If it is a virtuous girl, you might as well hurry up and marry her, and arrange a house for Ma An, but do you live in Xingjia Village or this county seat?" ”

Mo Ye suddenly asked, "Master, if Uncle Ma gets married, will he move out of our house?" ”

"Of course." Lin Shan nodded without much thought. Mo Ye's mouth flattened unconsciously again, and what she was thinking about was another question, if Uncle Ma was going to move out of Xingjia Village because of marriage, then what would happen if Master married a wife?

Thinking of this, Mo Ye asked again, "Why do you want to move away?" Isn't it good to live together? There are still several empty houses in the house. ”

"When he gets married, it's another family, how can he live with us? Brothers and wives must live separately! Lin Shan felt that this was a matter of course, and when he turned his head to see Mo Ye's somewhat sullen appearance, he didn't know Mo Ye's state of mind at this time, and thought that Mo Ye was unhappy about the reason why Uncle Ma might leave. So he smiled again and said half-jokingly: "Do you want your little aunt to give birth to a child of your Uncle Ma, and then wait for you to grow up and let you get up together every day to catch and bully?" ”

Mo Ye bit her lower lip, a small groove wrinkled into the skin of her delicate and flat forehead, and she said a little abruptly: "Master, have you ever married a wife?" ”

"I" Lin Shan was about to follow Mo Ye's question to think about yes or no, but he suddenly looked stunned, and then quickly came back to his senses, as if he understood that Mo Ye's depression just now was not worried about Ma An, he smiled and said: "You see that you are not worried about your Uncle Ma, who will it be?" ”

Mo Ye didn't know if she would be a little disobedient to her master if she told the truth, so she glanced at Lin Shan cautiously, and seeing that Lin Shan's face was peaceful, she finally let go of her courage and said, "Master, if you marry a wife, will you also leave like Uncle Ma?" ”

This time, Lin Shan did not answer immediately, and fell into a long silence, and turned slightly sideways, with his back to Mo Ye.

Mo Ye couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she saw this, and in the silence for a long time, this tightness and slight fear made her suddenly remember something. Half a year ago, she was sick, because of dizziness and weakness, she especially hoped that someone would guard her and not leave, at that time she was also afraid that the master would suddenly disappear, and then the master sat with her for a long time. At the bedside, at her begging, Master finally got a little out of her parents' business.

At the same time, Master also mentioned the word Shi Niang for the first time. Although it was only a sentence at the time, it seems inexplicably strange now.

"Master really feels embarrassed, when will you be so smart as she can make me helpless?"

"When that time comes, Master won't have to worry about you being abducted, and you can rest assured that you can boldly go to find your master."

Recalling these two sentences, a layer of doubt slowly emerged in Mo Ye's heart.

Why did Master wait until she was so smart that he couldn't help it before he went to find Shi's wife?

Where did he go to find his wife?

Mo Ye groaned, recalled, pondered, and didn't know how long it took, when he heard Lin Shan suddenly say, "Master will not leave you." He paused, and then added, "If I do leave, it may be that I have something to do, or that something has happened to me." ”

When Mo Ye heard his last half of the sentence, his heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately couldn't sit still. She got up from the chair, walked to Lin Shan's side in two steps, tugged at his sleeve tightly and said, "Master, you won't have an accident, how can you have an accident?" Don't scare Ye'er. ”

Usually when she was nervous and timid, Mo Ye would naturally approach Lin Shan's side, pull his sleeve to block herself behind her, and then Lin Shan would give her a warm smile, making her feel peaceful and dependent.

But this time, Lin Shan looked down at her, but there was a solemnity in his eyes, and he said: "Human life is fragile, and blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable. Mo Ye, you're going to start learning to grow up too. Master will always leave you one day, but I just hope that on that day, you will be able to take care of yourself. ”

This passage, this look, made the atmosphere around him suddenly cool down. Mo Ye couldn't help but feel sadness in his heart, this sad feeling that originated from the people closest to him came without warning. She looked at Lin Shan's eyes, swallowed emptily, and endured the tears in her already damp eyes.

Lin Shan hopes that Mo Ye will grow up soon, and this kind of growth is spiritual growth. And today, Mo Ye has begun to work hard to grow her heart, from the moment she held back her tears.

When children are young, they rarely take the initiative to think about their future, unless they encounter a serious accident and need to face life and reality by themselves. This time, Lin Shan did not give Mo Ye an encouraging smile when he pulled his sleeve, which was to use an indifferent attitude to let Mo Ye face life directly.

He believed that Mo Ye had been enrolled in school for half a year, and he already had a certain understanding and ability to bear it, so he would start from this moment on, blocking himself in front of Mo Ye in the wind and rain, and slowly moving away little by little.

Lin Shan's elbow bent slightly, held Mo Ye's hand pulling his sleeve, wrapped her slightly cool little hand in his big thick hand, and then sighed deeply.

Mo Ye leaned closer to Lin Shan, and called out blankly: "Master"

Lin Shan's tone softened: "Isn't it too early for me to treat you now?" Isn't it cruel that you're only five years old. ”

Although Mo Ye had been enduring it, there were still two tears overflowing from her eyes, and she hurriedly took advantage of the gap between Lin Shan's not looking sideways at her, so she grabbed the sleeve of Lin Shan's coat that was close in front of her, wiped her face vigorously, and then squeezed out a smile and said: "Ye'er doesn't blame the master, Ye'er will grow up quickly according to the master's teachings." ”

Lin Shan glanced sideways at her, and he was very keen to catch the tears on her face, but she smiled again, smiling hard with those eyes that were much brighter than usual because of the dampness. Lin Shan's heart ached, he was slightly stunned, and then he also smiled, and made a joke: "Does Master have such magical powers?" Let you grow up and you will grow up, do you want me to water you again, apply some fertilizer, and then cultivate the soil? ”

Mo Ye was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood. Although the tears on her face had already been wiped away by her, the way she laughed at this time was actually similar to breaking into laughter.

Lin Shan couldn't stand her smiling like this anymore, which really contradicted her age at this time, but he didn't want to go around here and say some soft words. Seeds germinate and grow, need to break through and tear one coating, and the process of human growth also needs to bear the pain of **.

So, without saying anything, he turned his face to the window again.

When his eyes were cast, he was attracted to look downstairs by a few reprimands from downstairs, and then he saw his eyes condensed, and he said softly: "Torture wind? ”

Mo Ye let go of Lin Shan's hand when she heard this, she lay on the edge of the window, tiptoe and stretched her neck, only to see the things on the street downstairs. Mo Ye was still just a child, so whatever came to his mind came out in front of the closest master.

"Uncle Xing looks angry, is it because he left school early because he knew about Xingfeng and didn't go home?"
