Lin Shan actually became a teacher of Lizheng Academy through a special way, specifically he was a special teacher of the college, and he did not need to be stationed in the college according to the teaching regulations of the college, but was relatively free to go to the college when he needed to teach.

In the past few days, because of Mo Ye's illness and Liao Shi's medicine, Lin Shan asked the academy for a few days of personal leave, yesterday was the last day of the holiday, and last night Lin Shan received a letter from the academy letter boy, knowing the teaching itinerary for the next ten years. Today's class is scheduled for the afternoon, and the dean of the college is worried that Lin Shan will be disturbed by the matter, so he has also shortened this afternoon's class to two sessions.

Therefore, Lin Shan can easily finish lunch at home, rest for a while, and then pack up a few books, wait for Ma An to arrange the car, and then go to the academy leisurely.

Carrying the cloth bag with the book out of the study, when walking through the stone road between the main house gate and the courtyard gate, Lin Shan saw Mo Ye in a daze, and with thoughts in his heart, he called out to her: "Ye'er, go to the house to change into thicker clothes, and the master will take you to the county to play." ”

Mo Ye was a little stunned without reacting, but immediately came back to his senses, immediately jumped up from the low stool, and asked with bright eyes, "Where are you going this time?" ”

Usually, Lin Shan strictly asked Mo Ye not to go out alone, but Mo Ye thought that if he went out with his master, then there would be no problem. The most important thing is that although there are not many opportunities to go out with Master, it can make Mo Ye happy all day every time, and he can still have endless memories until the next day.

However, the county seat is so big, and in her memory, Mo Ye felt as if the master had taken her to play all over the place, but now looking at the look on the master's face, it seemed that he could take her to see new places and things.

Regarding Mo Ye's curious question, Lin Shan did not answer directly, but smiled a little mysteriously and said: "You will know if you go, in short, the master will make you happy today, which can be regarded as the master's compensation for the hardships you have endured in the past few days." ”

The word 'suffering' naturally refers to the fact that Mo Ye has frowned and drunk the unpalatable medicinal soup in the past few days.

Mo Ye thought of the disgusting decoction, and her mood sank for a while, but soon she thought of today's unknown surprise, and with a sense of worry and joy, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and stick out her tongue at Lin Shan, and then Fei also seemed to have to go into the house to change clothes.

Sitting in the carriage with Lin Shan, he couldn't be quiet for a while, Mo Ye couldn't hold back his excitement and asked Lin Shan's next arrangements. In this regard, Lin Shan firmly said that he needed to keep it secret for the time being, and Mo Ye, who had no way to open Lin Shan's mouth seal, had to pull the curtain to look at the scenery along the way.

Originally, Lin Shan was afraid of Mo Ye's wind and cold, and did not approve of her doing this, but sitting in the carriage and watching the distant scenery has always been a habitual behavior of Mo Ye when he was riding in the car, and after careful consideration, Lin Shan finally acquiesced. However, in order to prevent a large amount of cold wind from pouring in, Lin Shan reminded that Mo Ye was only allowed to pull a corner of the curtain and look outside.

It didn't take long for Lin Shan, who was accustomed to closing his eyes in the carriage to recuperate, suddenly felt a cold wind burst out. As the cold wind hit his face, he opened his eyes and saw Mo Ye open the curtains, I don't know why he forgot all his advice, not only that, but she even poked her head out of the car window, looking at somewhere outside, her expression condensed.

Lin Shan looked in the direction of Mo Ye's line of sight, and soon found that he was carrying a few pheasants with a wooden stick and walking briskly on a ridge.

Lin Shan quickly knew roughly what Mo Ye was thinking now, and he didn't intend to pay attention to it, but he suddenly remembered Liao Shiguo's words. Mo Ye was able to break out at this more opportune time, so as to get a better chance of treatment, and Xing Feng inadvertently took Mo Ye to play in the snow, which can be regarded as a kind of facilitating credit. Maybe it's a coincidence, but maybe it's also a kind of fate.

And the kid Xingfeng lives opposite his house, and from the unintentional observation in the past few years, he can also see that he is an honest and responsible child, shouldn't he be so close to Mo Ye and his affairs?

From another point of view, Mo Ye has grown up year by year, and he always can't avoid making friends. Instead of avoiding it everywhere, maybe under her own secret observation and arrangement, let her meet a few reliable friends in advance, but it will be better to achieve the goal of protecting her?

Lin Shan was secretly thinking to himself, but Mo Ye couldn't help but shout at Xing Feng Yao. It's just that the torture wind heard Mo Ye's shout, and just glanced at Mo Ye a few times, although the steps under his feet were a little slower, he didn't mean to stop.

Lin Shan coughed dryly when she saw this, and Mo Ye remembered that her master was also in the car, and his attitude was not to support her running around with the torture wind, so she quickly shrank her head back from the window, put down the curtain of the car window, and sat down in a proper manner.

But at this time, there was surprise and displeasure in her eyes that she couldn't completely suppress at her age, and the surprise was that Xing Feng obviously heard him call him, but he didn't pay attention to what he meant, which was too different from the Xing Feng that made her feel kind and easy-going a few days ago, and this change in attitude was too abrupt. The displeasure was because she wanted to get out of the car to find Xingfeng, but the master was in the car, so she had to follow the teacher's instructions and restrain her behavior.

But then Mo Ye didn't expect that after a while after she sat down, Lin Shan stopped the carriage, threw her a cloak tailored for children, and then said: "If there is any misunderstanding, get out of the car and find him face to face. ”

"Oh." Mo Ye replied in a low voice, and reacted after being surprised, and there was a faint joy in his heart. But she was afraid that she would be wrong, so she whispered in front of Lin Shan in a tentative tone, "Master, don't you disagree with my contact with him?" ”

"The nature of the punishment is good, so Master has changed some of his views on you." There was a hint of majesty in Lin Shan's tone, and after a slight pause, he said, "Go and come back quickly, don't make me change my mind again." ”

"Ye'er obeys the teacher's orders." Mo Ye got Lin Shan's letter, and the joy in his heart couldn't help but overflow. She solemnly bowed to Lin Shan like an adult, and then hurriedly put on her cloak and lifted the curtain of the carriage, got out of the carriage with the help of Ma An, and ran towards the torture wind on the ridge.

Ma An, who was sitting in the carriage seat, saw Mo Ye walking away, although he knew that this must have been approved by Lin Shan, he was still a little worried and couldn't help but ask in the car: "Big brother, you just let her go?" ”

"It doesn't matter."

In the car, Lin Shan simply responded with two words, and then sat under the window of the car that Mo Ye liked to sit in, opened the corner of the carriage curtain, and watched Mo Ye run close to Xing Feng.

It seemed that the next conversation did not seem to be very pleasant, Xing Feng's demeanor revealed that he was deliberately forbearing, and the original excitement on Mo Ye's face gradually subsided. After a while, Mo Ye suddenly glanced back at the carriage, then said something briefly to Xing Feng, and then turned back.

Seeing that Mo Ye got into the car, his feelings were a little low, and Lin Shan asked gently, "Things seem to have gone wrong?" ”

Mo Ye lowered his head and stirred his sleeves, and said in a somewhat depressed tone: "I don't know what's wrong, his words have become slurred, and he doesn't reply much when asked." ”

Lin Shan didn't pick up the topic immediately, but pulled the corner of the curtain and looked out. Seeing that Xing Feng also happened to look at this side, his gaze quickly retracted as soon as he touched Lin Shan's gaze, and then his steps were much faster, and he had already reached the end of the ridge, although he was on the road where he could walk the vehicle, he was walking towards Xingjia Village with his back on his back.

Not far behind him was an old man carrying half a wild boar on his shoulder, and the old man's feet were stepping on the slightly wet dirt road, and one step at a time was shallow, which showed how heavy the half of the wild boar tied with hemp rope on his shoulder was. Carrying a heavy load, the wrinkles on the old man's face soaked in the vicissitudes of wind and rain deepened, like the scars carved on the skin by the blades of time, but Lin Shan could still see a figure very similar to the young man walking in front of him from between his eyebrows.

Lin Shan, who noticed this, suddenly vaguely deduced what the reason for Xing Feng's abrupt estrangement from Mo Ye.

Although the old man was full of old age, his eyes were still full of energy. This is the look of the hunter's eyes honed by the hunt for a long time, and it reflects that the vicissitudes of this man's face are only due to the harsh environment, and his physical condition is far stronger and more powerful than the wrinkles on his face seem.

Because the prey on his shoulders was too heavy, the old man did not take the thin ridge that the torture wind walked, but took a wider ridge road behind. So when he came to the end of the ridge and went up the road, the carriage happened to be very close to him, and he and Lin Shan, who was looking at the curtain, had a glance of nearly four feet through the window of the carriage.

The old man's eyes moved when he saw Lin Shan, and then he nodded slightly as if out of politeness. Lin Shan didn't know why the old man could still express such courtesy to him, a stranger, and when he was about to go out to take a closer look, the carriage had already galloped past the old man, leaving the old man's figure outside the back of the car.

Lin Shan had no choice but to give up, put down the curtain of the car window, and sat down again in the car, when he saw Mo Ye looking at him with strange eyes and said, "Master, why did you stick your head out of the window?" What do you see? ”

"Nothing." Lin Shan smiled slightly, then turned the conversation around and said, "I seem to know why that kid named Xingfeng would ignore you." ”

Mo Ye hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

"Can there be a master across from you who doesn't allow you to run around casually, and doesn't allow a father behind him who strictly disciplines him?" Lin Shanba was already laughing to himself.

Mo Ye was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, and then laughed a few times with "hehe".

The old man carrying half a wild boar behind Xing Feng was indeed his father. Xing Feng returned home a little earlier than Xing Laohan, put down the prey he was carrying on his shoulders, went to the kitchen with a pig iron basin to fill half a basin of water, and prepared a coarse cloth face towel, only to see Xing Laohan coming back.

In the middle of winter, Xing Laohan's forehead was covered with a little beads of sweat. After he laid down the half of the boar on the wooden frame, he was not afraid of the cold, so he washed his face with cold water. The way he washed his face was almost like scraping his face, and he rubbed an old skin into a light red.

Xing Laohan wiped his face with the face towel handed by Xing Feng, and then spoke: "Ah Feng, do you know the person sitting in the carriage just now?" ”
