Li Gai was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Lin Shan wanted to refer to when he suddenly asked like this.

After coming back to his senses, he said slowly: "Third child, you yourself have said that this kind of thing cannot be completely eliminated, probably can only be good to induce or inhibit, the method of cutting grass and eradicating the root is effective but cannot be universalized, and it cannot really be the same for everyone." Have you forgotten what you said yourself? ”

Lin Shan looked at Li Gai and didn't speak again, but the slightly undulating emotion in his eyes just now was gradually calming down.

Just as the two looked at each other, the sound of a fist slamming on the wooden board suddenly came from the private room next door. Because Lin Shan and Li Gai did not speak at the moment in the private room, and the crowd watching the excitement downstairs gradually dispersed, the sound of the collision was very clear.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of chairs falling to the ground in the private room next door, but there was no predicted sound of fighting, just two groups of hurried footsteps out of the private room, through the corridor separated by the two rows of private rooms, and went downstairs. The private room of Xianhe Restaurant is famous for its good sound insulation, but if it weren't for the fact that he had opened the window, he happened to encounter the private room next door and also opened the window, and the two private rooms would definitely not be able to transmit sound to each other so lightly.

However, just the arrival of this voice made Lin Shan and Li Gai realize a problem almost at the same time, and immediately put aside the unpleasant topic just now, and looked sideways under the window.

Sure enough, when he didn't want to leave, he had to follow Lin Shan's junior brother Cen Chi, who had not seen him for more than ten years, to go to the yamen to seek justice, and as soon as he moved his steps, a middle-aged man who was rich, with a crown inlaid with jade, and a belt embroidered with gold, looked like a rich man, and walked out of the gate of Xianhe Restaurant in a hurry. Straight to the impostor shopkeeper.

As soon as the impostor saw the fat rich man, his eyes immediately burst into a sense of joy that he had been rescued. When this scene fell into the eyes of the two people by the window of the private room upstairs, they shook their heads slightly at the same time.

After the fat rich man met and greeted the fat-faced man, he was always smiling, and they didn't mind at all, or even noticed, that one or two of the city residents who were late to the crowd of onlookers stopped and privately discussed the title of 'Smiling Tiger' for the two of them.

And the two smiling tigers didn't know if they happened to have the right appetite, so they left everyone aside and discussed a few words. It looks like it's been negotiated again. Then, the fat-faced man turned his head and said something in Cen Chi's ear, only to see Cen Chi frown, but he also nodded quickly, it should have promised something.

suddenly gave up the decision to take the impostor to the yamen, and really let him go, but Cen Chi didn't want to drop a few cruel words in anger because he gave a favor to the person he hated. If you let it go, you let it go. Except for the frown just now, he didn't say anything, and led the donkey away with a calm face, walking very crisply, with a little casual attitude.

"Knock-"

Lin Shan looked at Cen Chi's back as he walked away, and casually smashed a punch on the window frame. The sound was the same as the one coming from the private room next door.

"It's really him, his temper hasn't changed much after all the years." Lin Shan looked away, chasing Cen Chi's shadow blurred in the night, as if he wanted to see with his own eyes whether he had really walked into the gate of the Xiangfu, "But how did he become a diner of the Xiangfu?" ”

Li Gai knew that Lin Shan had been worrying about this problem since just now, his parents died early, and there were no other relatives in this world, and he grew up with his master, the old man Beili. Master became his father. The friendship between brothers and sisters is naturally equivalent to brotherhood. But if one day, these two people want to stand on opposite sides, then should they be brothers and sisters, or should they stick to their faith?

Thinking of this, Li Gai did not go directly to Lin Shan's words. Instead, he turned the conversation around and said, "Your junior brother is a few years younger than you, but why did he go down the mountain so early to travel?" ”

Lin Shan was silent for a moment before he said slowly, "Because he wants to prove that he is better than me." ”

When Li Gai heard this, there was a funny look in his eyes, but he quickly remembered that this sentence was said by Lin Shan's junior brother when he was only about thirteen or fourteen years old, and said with a smile: "I don't think you like to compete with your junior brother to win. ”

"Maybe it's the deep responsibility of love!" Lin Shan raised his hand and closed the window, and the private room temporarily became a place where the sound was cut off from the outside world, he walked to the table and sat down, looked at the table that had run out of heat, and slowly spoke again: "I must remember and thank Master for the help that the sutra has brought me all my life, but I have actually only inherited about forty percent of the sutra collection that he spent half his life creating. After all, my ambition was still biased towards multi-faceted and multi-angle graphics, that is, architectural design, and Master later saw this, so he didn't force me to accept the junior and apprentice to get started. ”

"So, your junior brother's arithmetic skills should be a few points higher than yours, so why did he still say such a sentence?" Li Gai interjected.

"Because Master often reprimanded him, and he used me as a model." Lin Shan smiled a little helplessly, "My junior brother does have an excellent talent for learning the scriptures, but his character flaws are also obvious. is very active and can't concentrate, these two points are also the things that Master can't see the master the most. ”

Li Gai was puzzled: "Through the art of chess, I also know a little bit of the inertia of arithmetic, this kind of learning is very coherent, if it is often interrupted, the thinking can not be connected into a line, one mistake is behind the mistake everywhere." Based on what you just said, if your junior brother really has these habits, it is not that he is really prejudiced against him by frequently blaming him. ”

"My junior brother's talent advantage is also reflected in this!" Lin Shan sighed and continued: "If I am delayed by something when drafting a drawing, and when I come back to continue drawing, I always need a little time to sort out the previous context. And when he was doing arithmetic problems in the grass house, he didn't miss it while teasing the ants under the table. When Master was not in the cottage, he was mostly playing, and then he took the time, estimated that it was almost time, and hurriedly finished the problem and handed it in with me. ”

"If he is so playful, he should be trained by the master even more." Li Gai teased.

"Master's life's work, of course, I hope that someone can fully inherit it, but the junior brother has never been able to understand his heart. The master reprimanded him a lot, and he was annoyed, and finally one day he yelled at his junior brother with uncontrollable anger, as if it hurt his junior brother's self-esteem, and he went down the mountain. ”

Lin Shan sighed deeply, and continued in a tone that turned light: "Actually, the sentence that the junior brother said before leaving may be just a disguise, before that, the master himself said that his arithmetic is already two points higher than mine, which means that he is already much better than me, so what is there to fight for?" He was just tired of being disciplined by his master and didn't want to stay in the grass hut anymore. Now that I think about it, maybe it's me who should go down the mountain early, so that the master will not always use the people around the junior brother as an example to discipline him, and this role model is still inferior to him, and the junior brother will of course be unhappy and sad in his heart. ”

When Lin Shan said this, he filled the wine cup in front of him, then picked it up and swallowed it in one gulp. The spicy wine irritated his throat, he frowned slightly, put down the wine cup and said: "If I leave first, the junior brother can be less trained, maybe he will not go down the mountain, and now he has learned the great success of the scriptures." Master wouldn't have no one around now, and a few years ago he was almost burned to death by fire because of my business. ”

Hearing the last sentence Lin Shan said, although Li Gai didn't drink, he also frowned.

Of course, Li Gai also knows about the fire in the Great Wilderness Mountain. The fire started at night, if it weren't for the old man of Beili who built a ditch around the grass house in order to prevent the disaster of the mountain fire, I am afraid that he would have woken up at night that day, and he would not have been able to escape.

Despite this, the water in the ditch had dried up before the fire broke out. The area of the grass house had obviously been trimmed, but the reed grass on the roof of the house only touched the sparks blown by the mountain wind a few feet away, and immediately turned into a sea of fire. The old man dug a trench in the dry ditch with a shovel and buried himself alive in it, so as to save himself from the flames, but his hair was still burned and his ears were burned.

Later, Lin Shan's subordinates, who had been hiding in a nearby village at the foot of the Great Wilderness Mountain, risked being burned to death, wearing thick sacks soaked with water, carrying a jar of water on their backs, chopping grass with a sickle, and cutting a straight way up the mountain, which took the old man from Beili and sent him to a place where only Lin Shan knew to live in seclusion.

This incident had a great impact on Lin Shan, and he was depressed for a few days, and finally resisted the idea of visiting his master, just because he didn't want the master's secluded place to be discovered by others again.

After that, Lin Shan sent a mobile group of members under his command to go to the Great Wilderness Mountain to investigate.

The site of the grass hut had been burned to ashes, but a group of members found a drop of grease on a hidden path that seemed to have only been walked once or twice.

The gate of the canal was designed by the old man of the North Fence himself, except for the apprentice he personally received could move, the only way for outsiders to move was to forcibly destroy it, so the abnormality of the gate of the canal was also obvious. Even if a group of members go up the mountain and the gate has been buried and trampled on by loess, they can dig up the empty soil bit by bit and make the gate show its original shape.

The most obvious anomaly is the well in the grass house, which has to be dug on the mountainside to get water, in addition to being very particular about the selection of the site, the requirements for depth are also very high. Of course, these two points are not difficult for the old man of Beili, in fact, he dug the well first, and then built the grass house.

But when a group of members arrived at the base of the grassland, such a deep well, which was flooded all year round, was actually filled with loess.

However, in this way, the members of the group did not have to dig the well again, as was the thick layer of loess that covered the sluice of the ditch. What is in the well water, it is already information that can float up through the loess several feet high...... (To be continued.)
