Xing Feng was a little surprised in his heart, but he thought that although Mo Ye was much smarter than children of the same age, after all, she was only five years old, and her master was hiding a lot of things from her now, but it was also reasonable. So he didn't delve into this, and said: "Now that you are still young, it is useless to know, when you grow up, your master will naturally sue you." ”

Because Mo Ye had other things in mind, he didn't have any strong interest in this question for the time being, and no matter how Xingfeng was a relative, he was not a relative of her family, and if he wanted to ask about this kind of family matter, he had to distinguish the object clearly.

Pouting, Mo Ye made up his mind in his heart and went back to ask the master.

Putting this matter behind him for the time being, Mo Ye said happily: "By the way, I forced you to take me out this time, because I thought of one thing." After this is done, my master will not be able to drive you away in the future. ”

Xing Feng said casually: "What." He didn't believe that a five-year-old girl could still overthrow what her master insisted on, so this conversation was insincere.

saw Mo Ye happily said: "We are brothers and sisters, and now we can play together in an open and honest way." ”

"It's not appropriate!" Xing Feng felt a little surprised in his heart. He stood up slowly, his eyes drifted into the distance, and said slowly: "Listen to my lord, a solemn reason is needed for a different surname to worship, if it is just to play together, it will be too child's play." And this reason is too insincere, and it will not be recognized by others. ”

"But we're all just kids, how much ambition can we make?"

Mo Ye also stood up, she didn't know when she picked up a stone in her hand, and at this time she threw the stone far into the reservoir. Looking at the circular ripples on the surface of the water that swayed in circles until they faded away, he spoke again after a long time: "Everything has to be done from the very basics, right?" Some brothers and sisters with the same father and mother may not necessarily achieve great things in their lives, and sometimes they have the same roots and the same room, but they do things that are opposite. ”

She paused here before looking at Xing Feng's side face and said solemnly: "Do you think that if you have a lifetime - maybe no life, just a few years or more - you can have a friend who is like a brother and sister to understand and support you, and your soul will be complete?" ”

"I don't really understand." Xing Feng also turned his face sideways, he looked at Mo Ye's face and said seriously: "I can't understand these things of yours accurately, but what I am most puzzled about now is, why did you think of this?" ”

Mo Ye smiled and said, "Actually, these are not mine, they are my master." ”

She thought for a moment and continued, "When I was a little younger, I asked him about my parents. Master, he and my parents are sworn brothers and sisters, so they have always taken care of me like this, I don't know if all the sworn brothers in the world are like this, but my Master is like this, and I hope I can do the same. ”

Xing Feng couldn't help but be slightly moved when he heard this, but he didn't speak, but turned his head away with a somewhat embarrassed face, but listened to Mo Ye say slowly in his ear: "If you don't agree, just blame me for being too abrupt." ”

Xing Feng was stunned, and hurriedly turned his head sideways to look at her, but saw a cluster of green wheat seedlings coming up, and this cluster of wheat seedlings was not cut off, and the roots and tendrils stained with soil were connected, and behind the wheat seedlings was Mo Ye's solemn face.

"Originally, incense was burned during the worship ceremony, but our agreement was only for five years, so I borrowed a little bit from the god of winter agriculture as a certificate. If you agree, take it and stick it in the dirt under your feet, and if it lives, it proves that the gods agree to our agreement."

Xing Feng didn't reach out to take it, but asked suspiciously, "Why five years?" ”

"Maybe just like you, my master didn't tell me something, but he let you know." Mo Ye said slowly in an uncertain tone: "In five years, maybe I will leave here and really recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors; After five years, you are free to choose to cancel the agreement we made today. ”

Xing Feng asked again: "Why can you regret it?" ”

Mo Ye was silent for a while and then said, "My master is hiding it from me, I guess it's because my parents have committed a crime. ”

She bit her lower lip before she continued, "I want to have friends like Master like my parents, but I don't want to be a burden to friends like my parents. ”

After Mo Ye finished this sentence, he shook the green wheat seedlings in his hand and motioned to Xing Feng to make a choice. It's just that at this time, Xingfeng still didn't mean to reach out to pick it up on the surface. Seeing this, Mo Ye couldn't help but have a touch of loss in his eyes, and was about to say something, but he heard a shout not far away.

"Ye'er"

It was also at this time that Xing Feng raised his hand, mustered up the courage to finally raise his hand, but missed the green wheat seedling in Mo Ye's hand.

The person who walked hurriedly not far away, with a cotton robe and a tall figure, was Mo Ye's master, and he was followed by a young man in compact clothes. When Mo Ye saw the two people, the hand that had been stretched out immediately also drooped, and she didn't notice Xingfeng's movements, but trotted towards the two people.

When Mo Ye ran closer, Lin Shan picked her up and said to her gently: "The kung fu man disappeared in the blink of an eye, why did he come here?" ”

Mo Ye didn't answer, but tilted his head and rubbed it in Lin Shan's arms, and then half-stuck out his tongue at the young man who was traveling with him.

The young man who came with Lin Shan was Ma An, who had come to Xingjia Village with him five years earlier, and later assumed the role of Mo Ye's uncle. Ma An looked at Mo Ye's playful appearance, and said with a smile: "Say hello to us before going out in the future, and run away so quietly, which makes us worry for a while." ”

Mo Ye took out a hand from Lin Shan's arms and touched his pigtails, flattened his mouth and said, "If I let you know in advance, wouldn't it be more difficult for me to sneak away?" ”

Ma An slowly shook his head when he heard this: "Definitely, you didn't think about always using this method to sneak away, sooner or later there will be times when it will be ineffective, so you have to challenge the difficulty in time!" ”

Ma An had just finished his sentence, but he saw Lin Shan glance at him, and said a little sternly: "You are not a child anymore, you are still her uncle, how can you teach her these things?" ”

Ma An hurriedly shut up and didn't say a word, only peeked at Mo Ye out of the corner of his eye, and saw that she was lying on Lin Shan's shoulder, but the purpose was to look at Xing Feng who was standing on the bank of the reservoir not far away.

I don't know how long it took, but I saw Mo Ye retract his distant gaze, changed his posture slightly in Lin Shan's arms, slowly closed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I won't sneak away in the future." ”

When Lin Shan came home with Mo Ye in his arms and was about to let her down, Lin Shan found that Mo Ye was asleep. Feeling a little strange, he noticed that Mo Ye's breathing was also a little heavy, and reached out to stroke her forehead, only then did he realize that Mo Ye didn't know when he actually had a fever.

"Go to the county and ask a doctor to come back." Lin Shan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he instructed Ma An.

Ma An hurriedly went to the back house to lead the horse, but heard Lin Shan shouting: "Don't go to the county, go to the alley of the black shed in the town, and find a pharmacist called 'Sanliang Pharmacy'." He noticed that Ma An was going to lead the horse, and said, "Don't ride the horse, let the old fellow walk by himself." ”

Ma An was originally worried that walking too slowly would delay Mo Ye's condition, but when he heard Lin Shan's last words, it seemed that all the uneasiness and doubts in his heart had been resolved, and there was nothing more, and he hurried towards the town according to his words.

Lin Shan carried Mo Ye into the house, Aunt Li heard the sound of the courtyard door opening, and had already come out, seeing that Mo Ye's situation was a little wrong, she hurriedly asked, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”

Aunt Li was originally Mo Ye's grandmother's dowry girl, and later something happened to Mo Ye's family, and she followed Lin Shan out of Kyoto at night, in order to take care of Mo Ye, who was still in infancy at the time, and finally lived temporarily in Xingjia Village, and her external identity was Mo Ye's aunt and grandmother.

Counting with her fingers, Aunt Li can be regarded as serving three generations of women in the Mo Ye family in a row, although she has been doing these things to repay the kindness of Miss and Miss Xiao, but in Lin Shan's concept, she has long regarded her as a family. And her feelings for Mo Ye are by no means clear in the words 'master-servant love'.

Facing Aunt Li's concern, Lin Shan smiled at her and said comfortingly: "The child is greedy for play, and he is infected with a little cold, so he will be fine if he takes a few medicines." Then he instructed Aunt Li to fetch a basin of hot water.

Aunt Li clasped her palms together and silently recited a Buddhist verse and went to the kitchen.

Waiting for the hot water to come, Lin Shan told Aunt Li to leave, scooped up a towel and moistened it with hot water, and began to slowly wipe Mo Ye's face. Looking at the familiar shadow in the contours of Mo Ye's immature face when he closed his eyes and fell asleep, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

At this time, Mo Ye quietly woke up. She half-opened her eyes and looked at Lin Shan, and saw him fold a towel into a square and put it on her forehead, and a warm feeling came from her forehead, and she felt her head even more dizzy. The physical discomfort caused by illness weakens people's self-control, and the various thoughts that have been in her mind are like wild horses, making her start to talk nonsense without choice.

"Master, has my body been sick? I don't mean this time. ”

Faced with Mo Ye's sudden question, Lin Shan, who had just fallen into deep thought, felt a little unable to answer for a while. After collecting those thoughts in his heart, he said gently: "With Master here, no matter what illness you have, you will be cured." ”

"Master, Ye'er sneaked out disobediently several times, are you angry?"

Lin Shan smiled slightly and said, "Master is not angry, but a little unhappy, unhappy and angry are two different things. ”

"Oh" Mo Ye gasped a little heavily, and this time she was silent for a long time before she opened her mouth and asked again, "Master, what kind of people are my parents?" ”
