- It hasn't rained in Yuxian for a long time, and the grass and leaves on the side of the road are dry and a little withered.

Following the horseshoe prints left intermittently on the dirt road, Xiao Kuang, who had been walking for most of the day, stopped, picked an unknown leaf on the side of the road, and put it in his palm to observe for a while. After a long time of rain, the wind and the sun are exposed, and in the late spring, the leaves that should be fresh and green have a smooth posture before they are old. The thin layer of ash covering the leaves is almost negligible.

It seems that there should have been no business travel for a long time, but isn't this the route scheduled by the Yan family? Do you want to make changes beforehand? That doesn't seem like a good sign!

Several thoughts came to mind at once, but they were quickly suppressed again. Throwing away the leaf, Xiao Kuang continued to walk forward, walking towards the town not far in front of him.

Glancing at the three big characters of "Stopping Cloud Town" on the archway at the entrance of the town, Xiao Kuang roughly knew where he had been. Continuing to walk towards the town, it didn't take long for him to see the flag hanging at the door of the Cloud Stop.

A smile appeared on Xiao Kuang's face, and without much hesitation, he walked straight over.

When he reached the door of the post house, a post guard stepped forward and blocked his way: "Who are you?" Is it possible to enter the official post station casually? ”

Facing the wary and questioning eyes of the jailer, and the obviously unkind tone, Xiao Kuang just asked calmly: "The current post of the Cloud Stopping Station, but is it still Feng Xingzhao?" ”

――――

There was no wine cup in front of Lin Shan, only a shallow white porcelain cup. Judging from the teapot resting next to the porcelain cup, the liquid in the cup is not old rice wine, but old tea soup, and the dark brown tea soup also proves that its taste is probably not very sweet and refreshing.

But in the face of such a strong aroma of wine wafting from a table away, even if Lin Shan didn't drink a drop, he was a little drunk.

If it weren't for the bottle of medicine that Liao Shi gave him before the banquet, he would have taken one pill immediately to support his spirits. Otherwise, he'd probably fainted from drunkenness by now.

When Chen Jiu just took out the wine jug, Lin Shan was still a little happy, not because he was also going to have a cup, but because he wanted to make Liao Shi drunk. It would be possible to delay the old man for another night. The parting is imminent, and the next time they meet, I don't know if it will be three years later, or another five years, Lin Shan looked at Liao Shi's thin appearance that seemed to have not changed since more than ten years ago, and suddenly felt a strong sense of sadness.

It took Liao Shi nearly ten years to heal the extremely vicious poison that the child brought out of the mother's womb, and after the toxin was lost, she also got a special physique that was invulnerable to all poisons. However, because he had always suspected that Liao Shi was inseparable from the poisoning of the child's mother, he couldn't gather too much gratitude to this elder.

Three years ago, Liao Shi was at the height of his burns. At the risk of being surrounded and suppressed by hidden enemies in Beijing, he returned to Kyoto, which he had not set foot in for more than ten years, and came to him. Consultation, discussion of medical policies, dispensing and application...... The thin old man only slept for two hours a day, but he was still disassembled four times, and he sat down for a while with a slight bare eye, and pulled him back from the ghost gate.

He was grateful for it, but that gratitude had been a little erratic. Only stop at the verbal level.

His vague gratitude made him often say how to repay this old man with a rickety back and a somewhat ugly face, but he had never accomplished anything. This is not only because Liao Shi is not in love with power, nor is he short of money to spend, and giving him a woman is not only something he doesn't like, but also something that other women can force them to choose to hang themselves to resist, but also because he is too enthusiastic about his own affairs.

And he was not enthusiastic enough to prepare to repay Liao Shi, after all, it was because Liao Shi was a person to him. Not important enough, right?

But when Liao Shi was about to leave, his kind of gratitude, which had always been just a verbal one, suddenly fell into place, and a deep parting melancholy welled up in his heart.

He suddenly realized that all along, he always seemed to ask for more from others than in return. The old man of the medicine ghost did a lot of things for him, and not only did he not actually repay him. At the last moment when the old man was about to leave for a long journey, he also had to ask the old man for a somewhat hasty departure time, just to ease the melancholy in his heart.

Lin Shan...... Lin Anyuan...... In fact, your heart is not as gentle as you see, but a little ruthless, right? No. It's very ruthless.

When the cherished person on duty is still around, you never know how much to cherish; It's only when you lose that you are disappointed...... This is a typical self-brewed bitter fruit and self-inflicted sin!

After living for thirty-five years, this bad nature of doing evil to others and sin to oneself has never changed!

Liao Shi, who was sitting opposite, looked back from Chen Jiu, and didn't look at this side for a moment, the old man suddenly found that although the face opposite him was still relatively young, the man with a silver color had faintly appeared between the long hair behind his shoulders, and the hand that was just gently covering the edge of the tea cup just now suddenly clenched hard, and the slender fingers were so tense that the phalanges were stiff, and the green veins on the back of the hand were slightly protruding.

"Alas......" Liao Shi suddenly sighed and said leisurely: "The old man still doesn't drink it, if you drink it again, I'm afraid that you will be drunk and I will lose my life." ”

Following Liao Shi's words, Lin Shan retracted his thoughts that were gradually dyed with guilt, and after calming down slightly, he suddenly said, "Here, who dares to touch you?" ”

Liao Shi was slightly stunned.

"Regardless of what my uncle just said, whether it was just a joke that was slightly drunk, the foolish nephew put the words here first." Lin Shan grabbed the tea cup in his hand and drank it all with his neck up, although it was a bitter old tea soup in his throat, he drank the joy of spirits. Slapping the teacup on the table, he said, "Who dares to draw a knife against you?" If it was my subordinate, I would have him do a handstand on a wooden cart with one arm for three days and three nights; If it were someone else, I would have sent my subordinates to tie him up and put him on a wooden cart with one arm for five days and five nights! ”

Thinking of the kind of spinning wood car mentioned in Lin Shan's words, what exactly is the operation, Liao Shi only felt that the sky suddenly turned in his mind. He also climbed up to play with this kind of forest fir used to train soldiers, and the group of bored soldiers who had a bad taste were really hateful, and they didn't let him go down when they handed him up, so he kept turning on it for three hours......

Then Lin Shan learned of this, and found out the small group of wicked soldiers from the army of thousands of people one by one, and although it did not look cruel, it was actually extremely terrible punishment.

On that day, the 5,000 soldiers of the 19th Detachment of the Northern Third Route Army did not practice their schoolwork, but received another military order on the training of the mind. On the spacious training ground, all the soldiers stood up in a neat but thin phalanx, so that every soldier could watch the few soldiers spinning on the wooden cart as much as possible.

Normally, the soldiers only had to practice the whirlpool for an hour every day, but that day the little soldiers spun around all day, and immediately changed from hateful little soldiers to poor little soldiers, and went back to vomit for several days that day. After that, the little soldiers saw Liao Shi like seeing a rapidly spinning thistle. One by one, they fled far away just by touching their eyes, for fear that a layer of skin would be torn off if they got a little closer.

"There is still a difference between your subordinates who transfer for three days and other people's subordinates who transfer for two more days."

Liao Shi originally wanted to say. If he followed Lin Shan's request and returned to Beijing to treat the sick second son of the Wang family, and then accidentally killed the poor child, when the child's emperor father called someone to cut him, could Lin Shan still be able to save him so hard.

But this thought turned around in the little old man's mind a few times, and finally he put it aside, and only picked out an insignificant sentence.

I can't take the topic away anymore, I have to stop as much as possible, I really can't delay the time anymore, and I can't see the sky outside. The time has come when we must set off immediately.

Lin Shan's face slowly explained: "You can't be punished too severely, you may be injured and sick for half a year if you turn for five days in a row." Your own subordinates still have to control it, and other people's subordinates can't control it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Liao Shi stand up. Realizing that the old man was really no longer stagnant, he of course stood up as well. But he couldn't help but shake his shoulder.

Chen Jiu, who was sitting on the side of the tea table, had also stood up with Liao Shi's departure, seeing this scene, she immediately put down the gray wine jug she had been holding in her hand, walked to Lin Shan's side briskly, and held his arm.

Lin Shan's hand shook slightly, causing it to let go.

Chen Jiu glanced at him with a deep expression, both worried. I was a little annoyed.

Liao Shi saw this scene, and ignored this scene, he had a pair of wonderful hands, prepared a variety of medicines, and many poisons became life-saving elixirs in his hands...... But this doesn't mean that he can match up on behalf of Yue Lao, he is still an old bachelor.

Ignore the little affection that the pair of men and women in front of them, who are always not close to the last step, just looked at each other and revealed a little affection. After Liao Shi was silent for a moment, a smile spread on his face, and the skin on his face was so thin that the wrinkles were squeezed together, and the furrows carved by the wind and frost knife were narrower and deeper. He smiled and said, "Fifty years old! The continuous wars in the southern land more than ten years ago have prompted very few of this kind of superb products to exist. In the face of this alcoholic smell. You can stay awake all the time, and it seems that the bottle of medicine I made you was successful. ”

Lin Shan suddenly said, "That being the case, can I also have a drink in the future?" ”

The smile on Liao Shi's face immediately disappeared, and he kept shaking his head and said, "This is a medicine of restraint, it only temporarily paralyzes your senses, and it doesn't have much healing effect." If you dare to drink alcohol, it is still similar to drinking arsenic water, which is extremely harmful to your body. ”

Lin Shan didn't seem to pay much attention to the old man's alarmist advice, still with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Okay...... But my uncle only kept one bottle for me, and it seemed that there was not enough to eat. ”

"Do you think this medicine can be eaten as a meal?" Liao Shiweishuang's sparse eyebrows raised, "Although the old man got together with you less and separated more in his early years, he didn't careless about your temper at all. If you leave a few more bottles, you won't be taking one pill at a time. ”

Having said this, Liao Shi frowned again, his eyelids pressed down slightly, making his eyes become a little narrow, and stared at Lin Shan with this extremely condensed gaze, which also gave people some stinging feeling, and then continued: "I can warn you, the name of the medicine ghost is not all cursed and belittled by others, my medicine is indeed poisonous, most people can't afford it, without me watching, don't mess around." ”

The words paused slightly, and the old man of the medicine ghost looked at the old wine beside Lin Shan. When his gaze fell on the face of this woman who did not have the slightest pink delicacy and was plain but still could not hide the soft arc of her eyebrows, nose and lips, the condensed sharpness in his eyes was naturally scattered on the surface of the lake like a microwave, and his eyelids were still pressed down, but it was caused by the smile on his face.

The old man smiled and said, "Wine girl, you give that pot of wine to Uncle, and Uncle will tell you later, which four places this madman is most likely to hide that bottle of medicine." ”

"He's not crazy, and you're not my uncle." Chen Jiu felt that when Liao Shi looked at her and said those words, the smile on his face suddenly became full of ill will, so although she had a faint smile on her face, the meaning of refusal in her words to the rickety old man was very clear, "Besides, I'm not good at stealing." I only ask for what I want in person, or in front of people. ”

Liao Shi pursed her lips, which had lost the elasticity of her skin and drooped, realizing that there seemed to be words that offended this woman in her words just now, so she who had always had a soft temperament suddenly turned into a thorny rose, so unkind.

Since Lin Shan doesn't want to be helped. Chen Jiu didn't care about him, walked back to the tea table, stretched out his hands, and picked up the gray wine jug again, with a slight force on his palms, as if he was afraid of accidentally breaking the unsightly looking wine jug.

When Chen Jiu went to fetch the pot, Lin Shan threw a brief order at a guard at the door, and the guard immediately retreated and went to the study next door to invite the young son of the Yan family.

Chen Jiu, who was holding the wine jug, turned around, looked at Liao Shi and said slowly: "It's not that Xiaojiu is stingy. Uncle Liao can taste the vintage of this wine with a sniff. It is not difficult to see the traces of age on this flask. At that time, all the wine utensils were designed and fired by themselves, and this pot was my grandfather's work. Although it seems to be so ugly that it can only be used as a children's urinal compared to the pottery making process that has advanced to the present, there is only one pot left in this world today.

Say that's all there is to it. It's not because the collection in the winery has been destroyed, but in fact there is a secret cellar that is well preserved. This is also the biggest secret of the Chen family's wine blending technology, and the aged puree has always been maintained in the three years of ten, twentieth and thirtieth. But speaking of which, although there is only one pot of this 60-year-old liquor puree, it is not the most precious. ”

"You're only on this ugly pot." After sighing lightly, Chen Jiu continued: "This is the collection of the Chen Family Winery when the foundation was laid, and the original puree in the cellar was bought in the early years, and this pot started. Brewed by the Chen family. To commemorate this day, my grandfather pressed the thumb print on the bottom of the pot, my father also pressed the thumb print on the top when he was born, and finally me, even though I was a woman. The thumb print is also pressed on it, which is considered to be able to inherit the winery as a woman after adulthood.

I will not be stingy with the sake here to be offered to Uncle Liao, or when Uncle Liao has time to return to Kyoto in the future, the aged purees in the Chen family's secret wine cellar can be presented to Uncle Liao. But this pot can't be given to you. Wine can be recreated, but the pot can't, this pot has frozen the memory of three generations of my Chen family, but as long as it exists, the traces of my Chen family's walk in the world can always be there. ”

The smile on Liao Shi's face gradually retracted, his expression gradually became solemn, and he said seriously: "No wonder you didn't worry about putting this fragile object in that extremely secret cellar three years ago, and you must take it with you all the way to the bumpy road." ”

Chen Jiu explained a lot just now, and at this time, I heard that Liao Shi agreed with her attitude towards this wine jug, but she didn't say a word anymore.

At this time, Liao Shi suddenly raised another hand, and the mood on his face was also abruptly reversed, while swinging his withered hand rapidly, he said in a somewhat precursor tone: "No, no, I said that the Chen family girl, you don't want to give it to me, and you can't disgust me so much!" What is not good, you say that it is like a urinal, the spout is so small, can you pee in? ”

Lin Shan, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Now that you've seen that it can't be used as a pot, then you should assume that the word you just said was just a slip of the tongue." Because the words just now evoked a family unfortunate history, Chen Jiu's eyes were moist, and the tide had not subsided at this time, but she was amused by Liao Shi's words.

Chong Liao Shi blinked a little stubbornly, there were two drops of extremely fine Yingze hanging from the corners of Chen Jiu's eyes, and he smiled and said: "Only when the mouth of the pot is small enough can it be sealed and stored in the mud, which is a major feature of the old Chen family winery in the early years." There is also a little secret to tell you, the Chen family's wine is all skewered on the shelf, and the bottle is placed upside down, so that once there is an overflow, it means that the cellar has failed and will be picked out. Therefore, if Uncle Liao buys the old liquor stock solution that claims to be the surviving old liquor of the old Chen family in an unfamiliar wine shop in the future, he must use his eyes more carefully than looking at the mud sealing at the mouth of the pot to see if there are any scratches at the bottom of the pot......"

"Hey......" Before Chen Jiu finished speaking, Liao Shi suddenly sighed and muttered, "Can you stop mentioning the matter of the pot?" ”

Chen Jiu stopped talking, but in Liao Shi's opinion, her smiling face seemed to be full of sentences, and it spread out in front of his eyes, and he couldn't avoid it.

"I suddenly found ......," Liao Shi suddenly said after a moment of silence, "...... It only took less than three years for you to learn badly with this kid. ”

Hearing this, Chen Jiufu's supple gaze was slightly condensed, and she turned her head to look at Lin Shan. Then he turned his gaze to look at Liao Shi, although he didn't speak, his eyes were already full of the word "no".

Silence is better than sound at this point.

Liao Shi looked at Chen Jiu's eyes full of disbelief, of course he knew that he only relied on his own words. It is impossible to destroy the glorious figure that this crazy woman has been obsessed with for more than ten years but can't. After a short pause, Liao Shi changed the topic and said: "You are in the bureau, of course you can't check yourself, old man, I can see clearly, you have changed a lot from when you first came here three years ago." ”

Chen Jiu did not ask Liao Shi where she had changed, but only confessed and praised herself in an undoubted tone: "I no longer exercise the flattery of flattering guests, and revitalize the old Chen family's winery, I am much stronger than before." ”

Listen to her. It was Liao Shi's turn to be stunned.

After a while, he finally threw out his finale move, and deliberately said in a cold voice: "You're not afraid, you have trained yourself to be a man's wife, but this madman doesn't want you anymore?" ”

Chen Jiu can hear this. Sure enough, her face stiffened slightly, she didn't say anything more to respond to Liao Shi, but turned her head to look at Lin Shan, her eyes were slightly dark, and she seemed to ask silently: Will you not want me?

Lin Shan was also looking at it, his expression was a little distant, and Chen Jiu couldn't read a word from it. She felt slightly lonely in her heart.

He had never been very good at pleasing women, and she knew that.

But she knew this, and at this moment, she still very much hoped that he could coax her at this time. Even if after today, he sues her again that it is fake.

After looking at each other like this for a moment, Chen Jiu shifted his gaze from that pair

She couldn't find the slightest hope in the pool. As soon as she moved her gaze to Liao Shi's face that was wrinkled like grapes after exposure to the sun, she heard the old man who suddenly became poisonous and said, "Otherwise, follow Uncle Liao, get out of here, and quickly find a man from a good family who lives in a small household to marry." If you wait until the pearl is lost, no one will want it. ”

If the age of these two people is pulled back twenty years. In the first half of Liao Shi's words, there was an atmosphere of a lewd uncle abducting a cute little sister.

But the actual situation at this time is that the uncle has risen to the level of a thin old man, and the cute little sister is not small at all, and when she hears this kind of words again, her reaction is not cute at all.

"I suddenly discovered that an elder like you is actually not worthy of my service with the sixty-year-old liquor essence of the old Chen family. And, I suddenly wanted to take it back......" Chen Jiu's words came to the last word, and the syllables were deliberately elongated in the throat, with a hint of threat.

After only a moment's hesitation, she let go of a hand holding an old wine jug, and stretched out an index finger to point at Liao Shi's upper abdomen at a distance of three steps. The steady dìng of her fingertips proved that her finger was not random, but really aimed at something. She said leisurely: "Zhongguan or Jianli, choose one." You're so thin, it only takes a punch to spit out what you've drunk, and it doesn't take much effort. ”

"Thief girl, you can't be ready to come for real, are you?" Liao Shi's eyes shrank, and after saying this sentence with a surprised expression, he suddenly laughed easily again, thinking that Chen Jiu was bluffing her, so he shook his head slightly and said: "You will also do that verbally, how can you really do it?" ”

"No, I've been studying for almost a year, and I often try to touch it on Brother Lin, and it's already very accurate to catch holes." While Chen Jiu said this, he glanced at Lin Shan beside him, and saw that the wandering look in his eyes just now had disappeared and was replaced by a light smile.

Although she knew that the smile was not hers, she still felt a warmth in her heart.

If the person I love is not fully in love with me, then I still love him, even if his well-being and happiness have nothing to do with me.

He looked at the person beside him with wide eyes, and fell in love with the smile on his face for a while, and finally moved his gaze to the face of the thin old man with a poisonous tongue, Chen Jiu continued: "However, although I am already very accurate in catching acupoints, Imperial Doctor Wu also said that catching acupoints is a university question, if I change to someone with a very different physique from Brother Lin, and let me catch acupoints again, I will not be allowed again." For example, a physique like Uncle Liao, who is obviously an adult, but has a body like a child, should be a great test for beginners in cave catching, I really want to try it immediately! ”

Liao Shi hurriedly wrapped his arms in front of his abdomen, blocking the two vomiting acupuncture points that were firmly locked by Chen Jiu's sight, the corners of his slightly drooping lips moved, and finally he didn't say anything in front of Chen Jiu, but turned around and walked out.

Walking out the door, I heard him repeat two words like muttering: "Crazy, crazy, crazy......"

Lin Shan looked at the old wine. Raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You've gone too far." ”

Chen Jiu playfully raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Actually, Uncle Liao is a very good person, but why are all the rumors I have heard about him belittled or slandered?" ”

"Not everyone can be like you and me. Don't argue that his mouth is open. Some people are not afraid of the pain of cutting their skin with a sword, but they are very concerned about the trauma of words. Being open-mouthed can sometimes hurt you more than being incapable of doing things. Lin Shan sighed with emotion and said, "However, Uncle Liao seems to have taken both sides. In addition to being easy to hurt people, he was good at using poison, and he also injured many people in his early years. In the same way, not everyone can understand his medicine, and people generally only pay attention to the results when they save lives and help the wounded. On the contrary, quacks are vicious. However, ordinary people really don't have the need to study medical technology and pharmacology, which is also human nature! ”

Chen Jiu raised his light and thin eyebrows, and suddenly said, "It seems that Uncle Liao's choice is right." If I'm a healer, it doesn't matter how many people I've healed. Even if I miss once, I will have to overturn all the merits, and I will have to bear the notoriety on my head, and I will get tired of it. ”

"For medicine to progress, someone always needs to sacrifice some interests for it." Lin Shan shook his head slightly, and said slowly: "There are almost nothing in this world that can sit back and enjoy it, even if a rich child inherits the family business. If you don't continue to work hard to create something new, no matter how big the family business is, it will go backwards. It's just that if you choose medical care, the matter of human life and safety becomes complicated. As a healer, many times you will be in an environment where you cannot choose to make choices. ”

"You remember that more than ten years ago, Uncle Liao was led to the palace by Uncle Yan. And then the death of the former Queen Mother? Chen Jiu looked at the person beside him and said slowly: "After hearing you mention this once, I often think that if there was no incident of the former Empress Dowager, Uncle Liao's ability." Kyoto may have been famous for a long time. The old scourge in the previous dynasty is still very good at splashing dirty water. ”

"At first glance, it looks like this, but it's not really." Lin Shan smiled indifferently, and then said: "Although the matter of the former Empress Dowager gave Uncle Liao a stained hat, but what people's hearts look like and how history is rewritten depends on the people of the world. You've only heard me say a few words, but you don't know the details. If the Empress Dowager of the previous dynasty had not given Liao Shi a test, the first person to die in his hands might have been the second prince Wang Hong. ”

Chen Jiu was stunned when he heard this.

Lin Shan looked at her and moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, he raised his hand and signaled that he would not talk in detail.

After a moment of silence, Lin Shan suddenly called: "Little wine..."

Lowering his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something, Chen Jiu raised his eyelashes when he heard the sound, and saw Lin Shan looking at her and said: "What Uncle Liao said just now is not entirely wrong, you have indeed changed a little recently, rude titles like 'old immortal' and 'old scourge', you never used them before." ”

"I know you'd never say anything like that." Chen Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Are you afraid that I will tire your reputation?" ”

"That's not going to ......," Lin Shan pondered, "First, you are a wine seller on the street of a small town, and you learned these words from the butcher's wife who sells haggis next door to your wine shop." Second, you are not my insider, and even my subordinates will not think about me as you learn. ”

At this time, there was no one else in the room, and Chen Jiu didn't need to maintain the superficial feelings too much, and she was finally able to put the unhappiness in her heart into words.

"Uncle Liao's words are really right, you really dislike me." Chen Jiu said, and also clenched his small fist and slapped Lin Shan's arm, but the strength of the next punch was extremely light, and the beating was a fake style, but the coquettish posture was extremely vivid.

Lin Shan didn't avoid the powder punch at all, and he was a little swaying, I don't know if it was because he smelled too much of the rich aroma of the aged wine syrup today, and was drunk by the large dose of medicine for two years and became very fragile, so he had some kind of illusion...... Or, for the first time, did he discover the beauty of the woman next to him who could knock on his heart the most?

However, this beautiful feeling of trance did not last long, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Lin Shan's hearing had become morbidly acute due to the damage caused by the drug, and although the footsteps were still dozens of steps away from the door, he could already hear them.

led Yan Xingzhi, the little son of the Yan family, to the door of the dining room, and the guards stopped outside the door.

Yan Xingzhi walked in slowly, holding an envelope in his hand.

"The juniors don't know what to write, and after thinking about it for a long time, they still can't come up with a sentence......" Yan Xingzhi hesitated and held up the envelope with both hands and handed it to Lin Shan, "Uncle Lin, can you help the juniors take a look." If there's something that's not well written, just erase it. ”

"If it's a family letter, you won't make a single mistake, including the wrong word. Your true family. Be able to read another word from a typo you write. Lin Shan took the envelope, and with the touch of his fingers, he only felt that the letter was too thin. But he didn't say anything about it, just calmly and seriously: "You are not a candidate of the Academy of Sciences, and I am not the chief examiner, so I will never read the letter you wrote." ”

After saying this, he walked over to the spotlessly polished tea table, put the letter down and flipped it to the back, and then took out an iron box and a fire fold that he had brought with him. I opened the box and pulled a ball of fire paint from the inside. Then blow the fire fold and burn the fire paint and drop it on the seal of the envelope.

At this time, Lin Shan asked again: "Do you have a seal that can prove your name?" ”

Lin Shan's action in this set of letters was too decisive and too fast, Yan Xingzhi didn't come back to his senses at all, and he was just stunned when he heard the words.

"Then just press the fingerprints." Lin Shan didn't wait long, and the fire paint hardened as soon as it cooled.

Yan Xingzhi came back to his senses. Without saying more, according to the words, he pressed his thumb on the still soft slightly hot fire paint.

"Uncle Lin is very busy, but he still has to work for a letter from his juniors, which is really embarrassing for his juniors. If there is an opportunity in the future, the younger generation will definitely come to thank you. On the occasion of parting, Yan Xingzhi took a deep look. The words are very close to the salute that the famous family is accustomed to.

"The lightness of a piece of paper, the matter of raising a hand, what can be done." Lin Shan smiled, then pointed to Liao Shi's shabby-looking medicine box on the tea case, and then said: "The pharmacist's decision to take you back to his ancestor mountain gate seems to you to be just a sentence and a decision. But he has to face double pressure and danger. You also have to cherish yourself along the way. ”

"Thank you Uncle Lin for your kind words, and the younger generation will remember it." Yan Xingzhi waved his hand again, and then he was about to carry the strap of the medicine box.

At this time, Chen Jiu on the side suddenly called "Wait a minute", and then trotted to the back hall. A moment later she trotted back again, the gray earthenware flask in her hand gone. But there is an extra wine jug made by hollowing out an old gourd.

"It's hard to put this old wine when the mud is opened, bring it to the pharmacist, he likes this." Chen Jiu handed out the old gourd, and when Yan Xingzhi took it, she picked up the blanket hanging on her shoulder, handed it over and said: "This is some of the dried meat I made, all of which have been marinated with good spices, and it is best to go down the throat with the wine." ”

"Thank you...... Aunt ......" Yan Xingzhi happily took the old gourd, and almost brought out the word "aunt", and when he slipped out of the rhyme, he was forced to twist it into a "aunt" word, and the sense of language was a little strange.

Although Yan Xingzhi is extremely young, a person like him who is relatively shallow in the world will not be accustomed to thinking about some trivial possibilities, but can look directly at the essence of the event. Three years ago, he followed Liao Shizhong in Lin Shan's northbound team, and along the way, he saw how the woman named Chen Jiu in front of him took care of Lin Shan.

Even if Lin Shan has not made any commitment to aged wine for some reason, in Yan Xingzhi's view, whether or not to say a certain sentence at this time will not constitute a changeable interference in whether something can be achieved or not.

However, Tong Guò got along with each other in the past three years in the Northland, although Yan Xingzhi admired Lin Shan's personality very much, but this man who was older than him had no kinship with the Yan family after all, and he still needed to guard the humility of his juniors, so even if he decided in his heart about it, before Lin Shan himself officially spoke, he was not good at saying anything.
