(081), stealing oneself
"Maybe it's because of the drink, it's out of proportion." Regarding Mo Ye's fearful state of mind, Lin Shanbiao was very calm, as if he didn't take it as a thing at all. After thinking for a while, he said: "You can't blame others for this, didn't I get so drunk last night that I couldn't even stand on my feet?" ”
Although Lin Shan's explanation sounded very reasonable, Mo Ye couldn't let go of the worry in her heart, after all, the person who almost fell in danger last night was her master, and she thought that she relied on and respected the most in this life. Under the weight of feelings, rationality will more or less shift the balance.
Facing Lin Shan's flat expression, Mo Ye silently bit the inside of his lip, and said, "I know that I can't stand on my feet, and I still want to dance the sword?" You're not the only one in the room. ”
Lin Shan replied perfunctorily: "They all came to invite me, and it was difficult to refuse." ”
After saying this, Lin Shan put down the teacup and scooped up the book to continue reading, but he actually didn't turn a page for a long time, his eyes drooped slightly, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes. Mo Ye couldn't see this, because she was holding the tea bowl to her lips at this time, but she didn't drink it for a long time, and she didn't pay attention to Lin Shan's side at all.
The master and apprentice were thinking about their own thoughts, but they didn't notice the abnormality in each other's expressions, and there was no one else in the family at this time, so this silence lasted for a long time.
I don't know how long I was silent, Mo Ye suddenly said again: "Master, if that person is holding a sword not to dance against you, but has evil intentions, can you defeat him?" ”
Lin Shan glanced up at her, with a look of surprise on his face: "Where did you think of going?" ”
Without waiting for Mo Ye to speak again, Lin Shan had already closed the book and stood up, he rubbed his forehead and said lightly: "I was drunk last night, and I still have a headache until now, so Master went to rest first." ”
He walked out of the house, and when he reached the eaves, he stood again, stretched his arms long, and then turned back and said, "You have to brush all the bowls today, lest you be too idle and prone to cranky thoughts." ”
Looking at Lin Shan sideways and closing the door of the main house, Mo Ye could only sigh, and at the same time was a little suspicious of his strange ideas.
What I saw in the winery that night was really my own worry? However, Xingfeng and Yan Xingzhi only mentioned that the master who got up later used real martial arts in his sword, but none of them mentioned whether their master had returned his true strength. However, the winery room that night was full of masters from the major academies, if that person really had bad intentions, did he choose the wrong time and place?
In fact, if Mo Ye could hear Yan Xingzhi's words when she rushed down the restaurant that day, maybe she would be able to quickly let go of the worry in her heart now, but at the same time, she would have laid a potential line of defense in her heart. It's a pity that she missed Yan Xingzhi's words, so her mood at this time can't go up, can't go down, can't touch the real thing, because she can't think through it, so she is vainly worried.
After washing and putting the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, Mo Ye wiped his hands with a dry cloth, listened to the sound of firecrackers from time to time in Xingjia Village, and guessed whose children were playing. From Chinese New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival, after half a month, the peasant families will begin to prepare for spring sowing, and the sound of children setting off fireworks in the village will gradually fade. But tonight, these sparse noises made Mo Ye feel extremely lonely in his heart.
Mo Ye silently hoped in her heart that her aunt would come back soon, and at the same time her eyes wandered aimlessly in the kitchen, but when her gaze slid over the small door of the cubicle where the medicine was stored in the kitchen, the loneliness in her heart suddenly sank.
Mo Ye hesitated for a moment, but finally walked over and opened the small door.
Usually there is the Li family at home, Mo Ye's house is actually only the yard gate is more tightly controlled, in addition, Mo Ye's house is the second most tightly locked is Lin Shan's study, except for these two, the other rooms are basically unlocked.
Regarding this point, Mo Ye once asked Lin Shan, even if his family has nothing to hide, don't they know how to guard against outsiders? It was also because of that question that Mo Ye knew that Xingjia Village was chosen to live after Lin Shan's visit, and the people here were simple, if there were really thieves entering the house, at most they could only steal a few silver tickets that could not be exchanged without a seal.
And this kitchen, in addition to the fear of cats and mice for the fear of adding a latch to the door, the small room door inside is only reserved for a lock cap, but it is never locked. First, I am afraid that the accidental loss of the key will affect Mo Ye's medicine, and moreover, with the structure of the wooden door and the fully enclosed internal environment of the compartment, as long as the wooden door is closed, it is impossible to open it naturally unless it is manpower.
Walking into the cellar of the cubicle, Mo Ye put the candlestick on the medicine cabinet, and then stared at the rows of neatly arranged medicine bags in the cabinet.
When it comes to things that people don't dare to try lightly, but have never completely closed their curiosity about, it's always easy to start with the first step and continue to do it.
Mo Ye had already taken the first step from the very beginning when she had subjective consciousness and began to inquire about the ingredients of the medicine she drank, so there was a second step later, she seemed to have lost the 'little Zhu' ingredient in the bag of medicine because of her slippery hand, but in fact, half of the reason was that her subjective consciousness was doing tricks. And the farther and farther she goes to follow the pace of curiosity, the line of defense that she originally laid in her heart will become weaker and weaker, and she will become more and more unable to control herself.
After staring at the cabinet where the medicine bag was placed for a while, Mo Ye finally reached out and took out a medicine bag, used the top of the cabinet as a platform, opened the medicine bag, and then sorted the red particles little by little. It wasn't until she opened the third medicine bag that she subconsciously slowed down.
It seems that because of this act of being a thief, her vigilance has become more and more sensitive in the heart of the void, and she is like a mouse stealing food in the night, and suddenly she hears a slight sound.
The sound was very strange, neither as loud as the night howl of wild cats and wild dogs, nor as subtle as the rustling of insects crawling on the ground, but it was the sound of the ** wheel crushing the ground that Mo Ye was very familiar with.
And most importantly, the most likely thing that this sound suggests is that the two family members who traveled far away have returned, and what Mo Ye is doing now is the least likely for anyone in the family to know.
Mo Ye's shoulders couldn't help but tense, and after listening quietly for a moment, she immediately began to fold back the paper packaging of the medicine bag. Because of her nervousness, the third medicine bag she opened was not rigorous when she returned the seal, and the medicine bag seemed a little loose, but she didn't have time to check it again.
After folding the package, Mo Ye hurriedly put it back in the cabinet. As she turned to go out the door, she remembered something else, and turned around and moved the three medicine bags she had sorted to the second dividator, and then placed the pouches that had been in the second compartment to the first dividator.
After doing this, it was not a hard work, but Mo Ye found that his forehead was actually sweating. She rolled up her sleeves and wiped her hands, then quickly came out of the cellar, closed the door, and walked briskly back to her room.
Lying on the bed with her head covered by the quilt, in the quiet night, Mo Ye could clearly hear her heartbeat, because of nervousness, she could obviously feel that her heartbeat was a beat faster and a little heavier. She couldn't help but laugh silently to herself, and said secretly: Although her behavior just now was not open, she was not doing anything harmful, why should she be afraid, what are you afraid of?
As the sound of his heartbeat calmed down, Mo Ye then heard the sound of the door opening from the courtyard. In the quiet night, the sound of the door spring opening step by step could be heard very clearly, so Mo Ye could also judge happily from that familiar voice that it was really the aunt who had returned.
Mo Ye was about to get up to welcome her aunt back, but she just sat up and lay down again, covered the quilt again, and closed her eyes.
may be because he has just done a thief, so Mo Ye's logical analysis ability at this time is too detailed, and he subconsciously feels that some things must be done reasonably and seamlessly. For example, when the aunt comes back at this time, she should not go out in advance to greet her, but should be woken up in her sleep; Or she didn't know about it at all, and when she woke up the next day, she was very pleasantly surprised to find that her aunt had not only returned, but also prepared a table that she hadn't seen for two days and was looking forward to breakfast after two years.
However, it would be nice if there was really one night for Mo Ye to clean up the empty feelings of the thief just now.
There is a person who likes to talk around Li, and that person has a brother who always remembers him, so this family will not be quiet tonight.
Lin Shan, who shouted at the beginning and went to rest with a headache, had already gotten up when he heard the sound of the carriage coming in the backyard, and he didn't stop as soon as he met Ma An, Ma An's voice that had just shouted at the horse couldn't be suppressed for a while, and the whole yard was his voice. In this way, even if Mo Ye wanted to pretend to be asleep, he seemed too reluctant from the inside out.
Walking out of her room in a coat, Mo Ye originally pretended to rub her sleepy eyes, but when she saw her aunt's smiling face in the hall, a very strange feeling came to her heart. She couldn't help but pounce, hugged Li's waist, and called her aunt a few times in a row.
Li Shi left for two days, and when she saw Mo Ye at this time, she heard her shouting so eagerly, although she knew that Mo Ye would not suffer anything at home, but she still loved and pity her heart. Gently rubbing Mo Ye's hair, Li Shi smiled and said, "Why do you bark like an abandoned kitten?" ”
At this time, Lin Shan and Ma An happened to walk in from the outside in parallel, Li Shi glanced at them, and said to Mo Ye: "Did your master beat you or scolded you?" Just sue me, Aunt Yu you are angry. ”
Mo Ye pulled his head out of Li Shi's arms, looked at her seriously with his face up, and suddenly said with a smile: "Master is good to me, but he tortured my stomach, and the food he cooked is too unpalatable!" ”
"It's simple" Li Shi was halfway through his words, and suddenly touched Mo Ye's forehead with some worry, and asked in a slightly hurried tone: "Why are you sweating so much?" Even the bangs are wet, but they are infected with the wind cold
