"After a day's journey, I only feel dry now, and I can fill my stomach with some light food."

Lin Shan said and got up from the rattan chair and walked to the window on the side, he pushed open the window to breathe after finishing the somewhat heavy topic just now, and at the same time subconsciously wanted to see the direction of the kitchen in the backyard.

He wrote the sketch of the building, and although he hadn't been there for a long time, he could make out the general direction. When he saw that the room where the miscellaneous items were originally placed was neatly arranged with the writing utensils he had placed in a room in the backyard, and when he was finally able to relax in this moment after talking about the things just now, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

But before his eyes touched the kitchen with the door open in the backyard, he first saw a figure on a low edge next to the kitchen.

Lin Shan narrowed his pupils, and saw the figure clearly, and according to his body shape, it was a child who was only in his teens.

The pale yellow light on the bamboo floor in the backyard pool was sprinkled over, reflecting on the child's side face, Lin Shan couldn't see the expression on the child's face from his own angle, and the child didn't see him suddenly opening the window on the top floor, because the child was obviously in a daze.

Lin Shan stared at the child for a while before turning around, he turned his back to the window and looked at Jiu Niang, and said with a hint of hesitation in his tone: "The one sitting on the roof is not Yuying's child Xiaoshi?" ”

Jiu Niang just opened the door and called the maid to come closer, and after instructing her to go to the backyard kitchen to get food, and then close the door, she turned around and met the gaze of Lin Shan, who was standing with her back to the window.

She also approached the window, and then saw the thin figure on the roof. Then he nodded.

Lin Shan tied his hands behind his back, supported the window with his backhand without any strength, and said after thinking about it: "In the early years, because he was still young, I agreed to let Yuying take care of him for a while, but later, didn't you let you send him to find a good family to foster him again?" He's a boy, and it's definitely not okay to put it in the building. However, if there has been neglect of discipline. It will also do more harm than good to his growth. ”

Jiu Niang's face showed embarrassment, and after hesitating for a moment, she slowly spoke: "Actually, we have been hiding from you about the little stone. I did what you told you when you left Beijing the year after you left. I found a family in the suburbs outside Beijing. I sent the little stone, who had just turned three years old at the time, because I also knew that when he grew up to this age, he would no longer be left alone. It's easy to learn badly, but ......"

Jiu Niang said this, and after sighing, she continued: "The little stone gradually grew to eight years old. The relationship with the adoptive parents is not bad, and the building is not very diligent in sending people to visit, but around the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last, when the building sent people to send money, they found that the family's courtyard was ruined, and the small stone in the house was lying on the bed and dying, and it was about to starve to death! ”

Lin Shan said movingly: "Why is this? ”

"Listen to the people in the village. Xiao Shi's adoptive father changed a mountain road to get home quickly during a night walk. I was accidentally bitten by a snake. In order to save people's lives, the family spent all their savings in three days, but the person died three days later. And the reason why the family was willing to adopt Xiaoshi before was because they couldn't have children themselves, and this time the man died, and the woman didn't want to live. The heart was too sad, the heart was loveless, and the body was depleted quickly, and when the people in our building went to visit, the woman had been dead for half a month. ”

Jiu Niang wrung the silk handkerchief in her hand, calmed down the tone that had begun to tremble slightly, and then said: "Xiao Shi suddenly has no parents, no one to take care of, and there is no food at home, and he doesn't know where to find us. ”

Lin Shan's brows furrowed deeply, and after being silent for a while, he said, "The impermanence of the world makes people helpless, how did you arrange him later?" ”

Jiu Niang groaned and said: "After the people sent by the building brought him back for treatment, he was really sick for a while, but after he recovered, he seemed to be a different person. ”

Lin Shan's face was calm and said, "How has it become?" ”

Jiu Niang said with some unconfidence in her tone: "Become ...... It's too smart, but maybe it's because we haven't been with him for a few years, and we compare him to the naughty appearance of the two or three years old when he first left! She laughed a few more times, but the laughter was not very happy because of what she had just said.

Lin Shan laughed a few times with her, and then said warmly: "If you think he has become too smart, there must be a reason." If he showed an extremely intelligent mind after he recovered from his illness, then why did he just lie in bed and wait for death when he was faced with the death of both his parents? This is really a strange thing. ”

Jiuniang listened to what Lin Shan said, and nodded with a smile, but when she heard the second half of what Lin Shan said, a chill suddenly appeared in her heart, and her eyes were a little straight when she looked at Lin Shan, but she didn't say a word.

Lin Shan also noticed the strange color in her eyes at this time, but he didn't deliberately modify the somewhat cold thoughts that were unintentionally revealed in his heart, he smiled slightly and said calmly: "Maybe I am a little indifferent to this kind of speculation about that child at this time, but I am just talking about things, I am used to it, don't take it to heart." ”

"No......" Jiu Niang shook her head after being silent for a while, and said slowly: "Actually, your speculation was also my idea, but you just said it directly, but I have always hidden it in my heart. ”

Jiu Niang said and took a few steps closer to the window, Lin Shan subconsciously let go of the way, and Jiu Niang leaned over to the window, stretched out her hand and pulled back the two windows that were open outside and closed them.

The soft collapse of the Dongfeng Building is a kind of furniture that resembles a bed and has the same function as a chair, it is in the shape of a long strip, with armrests at one side and two ends, and the whole is covered with a cloth cushion made of soft silk and cotton, whether people are sitting or lying, it will make people feel very comfortable.

This furniture was created by the original hostess of this building, and when it was put into use, everyone found that it was really wonderful. One sits on it and drinks, comfortable; Lying down and continuing to drink when you are drunk is still comfortable; Or invite two beauties left and right, or three or five wine and meat friends hook up and drink together, this long collapse is still completely acceptable, or comfortable!

If this kind of furniture is placed in ordinary people's homes, it will feel out of place with other pure wood furniture, but this kind of furniture is now a bestseller of Fengyue, and it is also available in the high-end rooms of some large hotels. If the inanimate objects in the world can provide comfort and convenience to people, they have the value of promotion, and at the same time, they have another kind of life that can be continued.

Lin Shan, who was lying down, pillowed his head on the armrest at the soft end, so that his body would not be completely flattened, so that it would not affect him to continue to talk to Jiu Niang.

He moved his neck so that the back of his head was pressed against the soft armrest at a more comfortable angle, and then he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Go on!" ”

Jiuniang looked at Lin Shan's lying on the soft collapse, and a touch of the same love appeared in her eyes. However, after she heard Lin Shan's voice, she quickly suppressed the emotion in her heart, and after sorting out her complexion, she said calmly: "After Xiaoshi recovers from his illness...... To be precise, during the days of his illness, he found out his life history in detail through the people we sent to take care of him, and as soon as his body recovered, he came to the building on his own initiative and found the small stone directly. ”

After he found the little stone, he recognized his mother very seriously, but he did not have the intention of staying, but only asked for some silver taels and prepared to live alone in the suburbs of Beijing. And his explanation of leaving is somewhat similar to your decision, and he also feels that he is not suitable to stay in this place where the fat is too heavy, and although he is reluctant to leave his mother, he still walks resolutely. When Jiu Niang said this, she bit her lower lip and hesitated: "If it weren't for the fact that someone in the building has been paying attention to his growth and often seeing his appearance, we almost think that this child would have been replaced halfway." ”

"That's weird indeed." Lin Shan's gaze pointed to a small skylight made of translucent glazed tiles on the roof, which released outside light during the day, but could not do so at night, and was clouded by the candle flame in the house. Lin Shan just looked at the place aimlessly, but at this time, a layer of confusion was floating in his eyes.

After pondering for a long time, he took his gaze back, smiled when he looked at Jiu Niang, and said, "Originally, I thought that Ye'er's child's heart had grown too fast, but I didn't expect that there was another one in our building who grew faster. Maybe it's just a little rock, and that kid is really talented! After suffering a heavy setback, this mind is suddenly stimulated. ”

Jiu Niang said with some disagreement: "But don't you think this is too abrupt?" If a gifted child has no one to guide him, at most he will have a stronger memory and faster reaction ability, where will he understand those things? ”

"I can't say this clearly, but a long time ago, when Da Yezi was still pregnant with Ye'er's child, he often said the word 'prenatal education' to me. She always said that babies were already capable of learning when they were still in their mother's womb, and that before they were born, she yelled at me every day to tell them stories. When Lin Shan said this, a softness of unknown details unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

He put his hands behind his head, raised his head, and continued with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "In the days in Xingjia Village, as Ye'er grew up day by day, I felt that she was a little different from ordinary girls, but at that time, I just thought that she could adapt to the life of the academy, which was very novel. Looking at the situation of the little stone now, I suddenly remembered that word again. Maybe it's because you're helping me do things, so Xiaoshi's child also started learning before he was born, so that he inherited his innate wisdom. (To be continued.)
