At this time, Lin Shan suddenly spoke, and he said in a harmonious voice: "Don't push it around, it's a responsibility." Maybe the thief scholar didn't want to steal things from the beginning, people's thoughts have to change, and sometimes we can't control ourselves, even if we can see others, we can't help but see the thoughts in other people's hearts. Fortunately, he didn't lose any valuables, so he should help him and then send him some dishes! ”

Lin Shan continued to say half-truths in a serious tone, which he actually deliberately gave to Li Shi to listen to, in order to reassure her. Fortunately, Li Shi believed that she really didn't think about anything more, and after hearing that Lin Shan's loss was not big, she could barely forgive the indecent behavior of the fallen scholar.

Ma An also realized that he couldn't continue to burn out the fire above his head, because he really couldn't let Li know too much about it. It's not that people don't worry about her, but Ma An and Lin Shan have one thing in common in their attitude towards the Li family, that is, they don't want the Li family, a female streamer, to worry too much about this kind of sinister thing inside and outside while taking care of the family's housework.

Lin Shan got up from the chair, walked to the desk and began to clean up the messy books, and at the same time said to Li Shi: "This thief drugged us, and this sleep was until noon, although there are still many things left to deal with, but the stomach is hungry first." Sister, please go and prepare lunch first! ”

When Li Shi heard this, she came out of the burglary incident, she habitually wiped her hands on the hem of her clothes, and hurriedly said: "You don't mention it, I really forgot about this stubble, everyone is hungry and sleeps now, and I will go to prepare lunch immediately." ”

Watching Li Shi go to the kitchen at the back of the hospital, Ma An suddenly exhaled a long breath, and continued, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"If you don't ask about this, I'm going to discuss it with you." Lin Shan's hand that was collecting the book stopped. Because he was thinking about something else, his hand was now clapped flat on a stack of books, pressing aimlessly.

After thinking for a while, Lin Shan continued: "I'm going to take Mo Ye back to Kyoto, but this time I just want to go back with Mo Ye, and you and Sister Li don't have to go with you." ”

"Back to Kyoto?" Ma An's eyes widened slightly, and he suddenly said, "If you go back to Kyoto, the last person you should take with you is Mo Ye." ”

"It's not the same time it used to be." Lin Shan lowered his head when he said this, and no longer looked at the expression on Ma An's face.

In fact, he still had some hesitation in his heart about the decision to take Mo Ye to Kyoto, and he was afraid that his uneasiness would be greatly affected by Ma An's seriousness and persistence.

Although he hesitated, he also realized that it was time for Mo Ye to face a qiē in person, and before that he could do so, he had to overcome his own subjective feelings. And doing so is also equivalent to him changing from standing in front of Mo Ye to standing next to Mo Ye, which is to make room for Mo Ye to look ahead, but it is also to hand over the danger to Mo Ye.

This is a risk that a person must go through when he grows up, although Lin Shan, who is a teacher and a father to Mo Ye, understands this truth, but if he wants to let it go so simply, he still can't break a trace of concern in his heart.

Continuing to organize the books, Lin Shan slowly spoke: "Mo Ye has reached the age when she should face a qiē. She's very smart, and I'm glad to know that, so it's fitting for her to hone her wings with me. But the time has come for you two to get out and get out of the way and plan for yourself, and I don't want to stumble your siblings over this anymore. ”

"It's not a matter of time and age."

Ma An realized that Lin Shan was avoiding his gaze, so he took another step closer to Lin Shan. Chasing Lin Shan's eyes with his own eyes, and smashing Lin Shan's ear drum with his own voice, he still said very seriously: "You can leave me and Sister Li, but have you ever wondered if I can leave you?" Can Sister Li throw away Mo Ye? When will you start planning for yourself? If something happens to you, what should Mo Ye do? Will I be able to rest assured? ”

Seeing Lin Shan's unmoved appearance, Ma An's words suddenly stopped. Knowing that the effect of discernment was no longer good, his tone began to go to an arrogant line, throwing out a sentence: "When you go to Kyoto, you must take me with you." ”

In the face of Ma An's persecutive words, Lin Shan still didn't have a word to answer, but Mo Ye's voice came from outside the door.

"Uncle Ma."

Mo Ye slowly walked into the study, stared at Ma An's face and said seriously: "You have to stay, Ye Er will also stand on Master's side today, and I don't agree with you to follow us to Kyoto." ”

Mo Ye's voice made Ma An stunned for a moment.

In the past, he and Lin Shan hid these past things from Mo Ye, but at this time, he also understood after glancing at Lin Shan, about returning to Kyoto, Lin Shan should have already told Mo Ye, so his spirit that had just tensed for a moment quickly relaxed. But he still insisted on what he had just thought, and said in a firm tone: "Of course I have a reason to go with you, I am your horse, I am to protect your saddle, otherwise how can I call Ma An?" Do you know ten years ago, if it wasn't for "

"That's it!" Lin Shan suddenly spoke up, cutting off Ma An's words to continue, and then he said in a slower tone: "Let me think about this matter for a few more days." ”

Lin Shanba, holding a dark brown wooden box that had just been scooped out of a drawer at the bottom of the desk, walked out of the study and walked to the front yard.

Ma An turned around as Lin Shan's door went out, his eyes fixed on Lin Shan's back. He moved his lips, what was he going to do, and suddenly felt the sleeves of his shirt move, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw Mo Ye pulling the corner of his sleeve and gently driving it, and then he saw Mo Ye looking at him with a complicated look, and said slowly: "Uncle Ma, the horse in the shed has gradually grown old over the years, although you are not old, but you are already a person who is about to become a father, you don't follow us anymore, the person you should accompany the most should not be me." ”

"I" Ma An wanted to speak and stopped.

Mo Ye's hand loosened Ma An's sleeve and retracted it into his sleeve, not knowing if he was saving something. Then she suddenly looked stern, and said solemnly: "In short, I am looking forward to the master's horse, if he doesn't agree to you going with you, don't blame Ye'er for drugging you down, and he won't let you go." ”

When Ma An heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he laughed and said, "Do you think that if the medicine drags me for a day, I won't find my way to Kyoto by myself?" ”

Mo Ye groaned for a while and said solemnly: "I'm not done yet!" It's a big deal to add another rope and tie you up and send you to the little aunt. If things do come to that point, then I don't mind working a little more to explain to her. ”

After Mo Ye finished saying this, she saw that Ma An was stunned on the spot, she didn't say anything more, and she didn't care what Ma An could think at this time, she just walked out of the study and walked to the front yard in the direction of Lin Shan.

Walking out of the big house and stepping down the steps, Mo Ye saw a corner of Lin Shan's plain clothes next to the flowerbed a few steps away, and the light-colored light smoke rising straight into the air above the flowerbed because of the lack of wind.

Mo Ye strode onto the gravel path in the middle of the front yard, and only took a few steps to go around to the back of the flower garden, and then she saw Lin Shan, who was squatting on the ground, taking out some papers from the wooden box one by one, and throwing them into the fire that had been lit on the ground in front of her.

His expression showed that he was thinking about something at this time, and this appearance was very similar to the heartbroken man who was in front of the lonely grave in the Qingming Festival, burning paper money while thinking about the smiling voice of the old man who went west.

It's just that what Lin Shan's hand is burning is not a dull and rough paper money, and he is not facing a lonely grave when he squats on the ground, and at the same time, eighty percent of his heart is not thinking about any old people, but only the troubles that are imminent.

Mo Ye squatted down next to Lin Shan, cleared his throat with a dry cough, and then said casually: "Master's habit is quite similar to Ye'er." ”

"You're throwing something under the flower bed?" Lin Shan suddenly glanced up at Mo Ye, which made Mo Ye subconsciously tense his shoulders.

However, Lin Shan only glanced at Mo Ye, and then continued to burn his paper. Looking at the burning flames of the pile of paper on the ground, he stopped temporarily when he saw that he couldn't add paper, and then said lightly: "You and I have both thrown things under this flower garden, but this is only similar on the surface but different in substance." You choose to throw things under the flower bed, just to use the thick shade of the flower bed to cover you up, I burn these here, just to let these waste things turn into flower fertilizer for flowers. ”

"Master burns things to make flower fertilizer to raise flowers, can't those things that Ye Er threw away become flower fertilizer?" Mo Ye had the courage to distinguish a sentence, but this sentence inadvertently opened her chatterbox. After a moment's thought, she continued, "Master, if you don't have the idea of covering up for yourself, why don't you go to the kitchen and burn it?" That's the best place to burn things, and the paper ash is mixed with the grass ash, and there is really no trace of it. At this time, my aunt is cooking, and you burn these papers under the stove to save some firewood. ”

After a slight pause, Mo Ye's face showed a disapproving look, his tone was a little lighter, and he said: "In the end, we are on the same path, but the master did it intentionally, and Ye'er did it unintentionally, in short, we all cheapened this cluster of flowers in the flower garden." ”

Lin Shan's hand was about to continue throwing paper into the fire, when he froze. He seemed to have something to say, but as soon as he lagged in this action, he then threw paper into the fire, and the words he just asked for were obviously swallowed back into his stomach, but he changed it into a faint sentence: "Don't look at the gossip, you can also help the master burn some of it."
