(109), the law of thieves

I add more, send it, and it's over! ——

Mo Ye didn't say anything more, Yiyan reached out and took some paper from the box, and began to throw it into the fire.

These manuscript papers were already in Lin Shan's heart, so when he burned these things, he had the same attitude as burning waste paper. It's just that in Mo Ye's heart, each piece of paper is something she has seen for the first time and makes her feel novel. Seeing that they were about to turn into ashes and sink in the thick soil, Mo Ye didn't know if there would be a great opportunity to see these things that the master had never let her see before, so in a strong curiosity, Mo Ye watched while burning.

But then Mo Ye soon discovered that these were obviously just drafts on paper, with very little text, and most of them were patterns. However, these patterns do not have the slightest soft mountain and water style, mostly repetitive simple lines and water chestnuts, and the patterns are mixed with symbols that seem to represent something.

Lin Shan saw that Mo Ye was scooping the paper and was stunned from time to time, how could he help him burn it?

If Lin Shan scooped these papers as if she was scooping up some waste, then when Mo Ye scooped these papers, her expression was like entering a maze, looking for a sign of exit, and the attitudes of the two towards the same thing were too different.

Lin Shan finally couldn't help but speak: "What are you doing in a daze with a pile of waste?" ”

Mo Ye came back to his senses, smiled insincerely, and then said, "Master, the paper scroll I burned before doesn't look big, is it all the result of these drafts?" ”

Lin Shan said: "A lot of these waste papers are useless to give up, and there are only a few pieces that are really used. ”

Mo Ye was a little puzzled and said, "Master, you don't just put together useful and useless manuscript papers, do you?" No wonder you're so sad! ”

Lin Shan smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "Of course, there are hidden marks to distinguish them, and chaos can also be used to make a good use, if I hadn't kept this hand, the thief scholar last night wouldn't have just stolen a pile of waste paper." ”

Mo Ye exclaimed, then smiled again, his bright eyes were full of curiosity, and he looked at Lin Shan and said, "What mark?" It seems mysterious! ”

"If you want to know, just straight, don't be dumb."

Lin Shan only glanced at Mo Ye's appearance and knew what she wanted to ask next. He didn't just say where his female apprentice learned this, he was obviously pretending to ask and pretending, although he was pretending, but this 'pretending' was deliberately revealed so obviously. However, in his eyes, this kind of Mo Ye was actually an elf and interesting, which made him laugh.

Folding a branch and stirring the paper stacked too thick and full of fire, Lin Shan saw that Mo Ye was silent for a long time, knowing that she was waiting for him to take the initiative to answer! He had no choice but to shake his head in his heart, and said gently: "You are my apprentice, of course I will devote myself to you, after burning these things, I will explain these things to you in detail!" ”

"Thank you, Master!" After Mo Ye thanked him, he suddenly laughed, and his eyes became sly: "Master, can you ask me to answer a question before teaching this?" ”

Lin Shan replied to her with a word in a calm tone: ". ”

Mo Ye threw a few pieces of paper into the fire, and suddenly said, "Ye Er doesn't understand, how did that thief scholar drug us?" ”

Lin Shan was stunned when he heard this, and at the same time, he pinched the branch and picked up the paper to help the fire stopped, and the flame, which was not too big, was a little shorter, and was pressed by a few pieces of paper thrown by Mo Ye, and suddenly the fire turned sharply, and the gray smoke took advantage of the situation to press up, covering the weak flames, and the gradually thickening pale smoke rose up.

After Lin Shan was stunned for a moment, he pinched the branch in his hand and pointed at the place where the fire had turned into a smoke pit at this time, and said, "It's this pervasive smoke." ”

He waved his sleeves here and fanned out the gray smoke that was gradually gathering in front of him and began to become a little choking, and then continued: "We are in charge of the water and food at home, and besides, he also needs to eat and drink, which inevitably arouses suspicion that these things are not easy to manipulate. Only this invisible air is fair to everyone, and at the same time, it is easy to be taken advantage of. ”

"And how did he do it?" Mo Ye blurted out a question, thought about it quickly, and added a word of doubt: "His clothes have been changed by us a long time ago, and he can't hide things." Besides, the smoke of nothingness, can this kind of thing be hidden? ”

"You don't want to be in the middle of the game and get confused. Don't forget, that thief scholar came prepared in the first place, not a reckless person who started immediately. Lin Shan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Master is not a god who knows everything, but I have vaguely heard of this kind of thing, it should be a kind of pipe blowing smoke!" It's not known exactly what kind of structure it will be, but this kind of thing can only be bought on the secret black market by those who have entered the thief's way, so don't think about it. ”

"Black market, thieves and thieves?"

Mo Ye saw that the little bit of caution in his heart was easily seen through by Lin Shan, and he was brought out without saving her any face, Mo Ye pursed his lips and said a word that pretended to be stupid to dissolve his unnatural feelings.

Lin Shan's state of mind at this time was different from Mo Ye's, he nodded after hearing this, and explained seriously: "Of course, if you choose to be a thief, you must follow some basic obligations to be a thief, otherwise you will be expelled by the people in the thief world." After entering the thief's road, everything he learned and what he learned was used to do thief things, and he was full of crimes, and it was difficult to turn over as a thief all his life, so the black market that sold his things also reduced the risk of being betrayed. ”

After a pause, Lin Shancai said solemnly: "This kind of Tao is balanced and contained, any industry has its way, although the content is different, but the rules are almost the same." ”

Mo Ye recalled Lin Shan's summary of the 'Dao' in her heart, and after a long time, she said slowly: "Master's Dao is a law, but it is not a natural law. Even if the natural laws of birth, old age, sickness and death, day and night, which cannot be changed by manpower, are touched by human beings, how can the laws born from people completely restrain people's free heart? ”

"Because of this, everyone has their own different attitudes and ways of doing things, and of course they have their own destiny, but," Lin Shan's words suddenly changed direction, stared at Mo Ye's eyes and said, "It seems that you really want to get that thing, is it so that your Uncle Ma doesn't follow us?" ”

"Uh," Mo Ye choked in his throat. She had something she cared about, and she was anxious about it, but after listening to Lin Shan's words just now, she hesitated again.

"You really have the temperament to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals."

Lin Shan glared at Mo Ye, then he lowered his head and stopped looking at Mo Ye, took out the last bit of manuscript paper in the box, and said in a deep voice while throwing himself into the fire that had been struggling for a while and then flourishing: "However, to achieve the goal, many times the method is not the only way. Although we always choose the easiest and quickest way, sometimes we would rather go around in circles than hurt each other when dealing with different people. ”

Lin Shan's words hit Mo Ye's key point, Mo Ye lowered her head apologetically, what she hesitated about was this-the way of doing things.

She wanted Ma An to stay, but she didn't want Ma An to accompany her to Kyoto, because she was already sure that going to Kyoto would be dangerous.

Her purpose is good, but her way of doing things is a little inadequate.

She can say these words when she drugs Ma An, but she may not be able to do it easily, just like a young man can easily yell at his parents: "You guys are annoyed! "But you can't really let your parents die for the sake of not being annoying. Mo Ye didn't know how she would feel when she had to drugged Ma An to keep him.

Just thinking about that process, Mo Ye felt a blockage in his heart.

"Ye'er is also too anxious, I heard that Master you have to think about it for a few days, I'm afraid you will agree" After a long breath, Mo Ye finally opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "You may not know that the little aunt is pregnant with Uncle Ma's child." ”

Lin Shan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he spoke, but instead of asking Ma An's child's question, he said, "You can actually know all this?" ”

These words fell into Mo Ye's ears, and she subconsciously felt that Lin Shan looked like she already knew about it, and was about to speak, when she heard Lin Shan smile half a step ahead of her: "That's right, you and Ma An went to the toilet together yesterday, and you also went for a long time!" ”

There was an embarrassment on Mo Ye's face, Lin Shan didn't make anything wrong, but why did she always sound weird?

When the two were looking at each other speechlessly, a word containing annoyance suddenly sounded out of thin air:

"Ye'er, what are you doing squatting there? It's all over the yard, and you still can't eat? ”

Mo Ye raised his head slightly when he heard the sound, glanced at the back of the side of the flower garden, and saw that Li Shi was standing under the eaves of the big house at this time, with a shallow annoyance on his face. At the same time, with the clean clear sky as the background, Mo Ye found that because she and Lin Shan burned paper, the sky was slowly falling down with fine paper ashes at this time, but just now she and Lin Shan were talking, and they were next to the oy-colored bushes, which drifted into the air with the hot smoke, and then gently fell The fine paper ash was indeed difficult to find.

But this caused trouble for Lai, who walked into the big house from the back kitchen with the meal.

Because Mo Ye was squatting on the periphery, Lin Shan's clothes, which were originally only exposed, were also blocked by her, and it looked like she was the only one squatting there. The expression on Mo Ye's face at this time was still embarrassed because of what Lin Shan had just said, so when she turned around like this, it looked like she had done something wrong.

Mo Ye glanced at Li Shi, then glanced back at Lin Shan, and saw Lin Shan's face with a smile, as if she was gloating, and she was also annoyed in her heart, and betrayed Lin Shan in an instant.

Mo Ye stood up and stepped out of the way, so that Li Shi could see Lin Shan squatting on the ground burning paper, and then she said loudly: "Auntie, it's not my fault, it's my master who is secretly burning things."
