Although Lu Sheng's way of leaving was almost equivalent to jumping out of the window and escaping, Ke Jian still watched the direction he left for a while, which was regarded as seeing him leave—even though Ke Jian's eyes were a wall that could not see the opposite side.

When he turned around, he saw Luo Qing and Qiao Cui looking at each other.

Qiao Cui, who had just shouted the word "Silly Lu", looked at Luo Qing at this time, and suddenly said, "Silly Lu...... Don't seem stupid anymore? ”

"Do you think what he did just now looks like a normal person's behavior?" Luo Qing replied to Qiao Cui impatiently, and then he looked at Ke Jian and said, "Uncle Ke, in fact, you know that there is no iron sheath, and there is also a wooden sheath. ”

"I was about to say, that kid is too ghostly." Ke Jian said vaguely.

"How did he get in......" Luo Qing's tone was hesitant, as if he was asking himself and others.

Qiao Cui scratched his head and said: "Those who are superb in light skills want to hide from the heavens and the earth, and most of them are hung on the roof beams indoors, and outdoors...... On the way just now, he should have been sticking under the board car that pulled firewood! When he said this, he suddenly clapped his hands and made a sudden appearance: "No wonder the cart of firewood is extremely heavy, it turns out that it is adding the weight of a person!" ”

Luo Qing frowned slightly: "Lu Sheng is gone, and now there is a problem in front of him that he left behind." Brother Lin told him when he left, let the group watch him firmly, although he didn't say the reason, but according to Brother Lin's habits, there must be something inconvenient to say publicly, but if Lu Sheng goes like this, it is very likely that he will cause trouble. ”

"It won't be so strict, right?" Qiao Cui said softly in disbelief: "I think Xiao Lu is much better than before." ”

"Although you are out of the group now, Brother Lin's matter was planned ten years ago, and it should not be difficult to imagine what he returned to Beijing for." Luo Qing looked at Qiao Cui and said intently, "This matter." There is no room for change. Although Lu Sheng's thinking ability is a little more normal than before under the step-by-step guidance of Brother Lin, he is still mentally deficient after all! ”

"Don't worry, I understand your concern." Qiao Cui comforted Luo Qing, then bent his arm and groaned with his cheeks.

"It's superfluous to say anything now." Luo Qing's face was scorched, and he said abruptly: "The most important thing at the moment is to chase him back before he enters Beijing." He said this. looked at Qiao Cui's eyes, and didn't move away for a long time.

Qiao Cui realized that something was wrong, and his pupils shrank: "Don't look at me like that, do you want me to go?" ”

"This is exactly what I want you to help me with. You used to be the number one light skill master in the group, and according to my estimate, if you say who is most likely to catch up with Xiao Lu's foot strength, you are the best choice. Luo Qing paused slightly, and then said: "Actually, since you have left the group. It seems a little inappropriate for me to ask you for help like this, but now Yanagi and I are with two groups of people, and we are also guarding another person, and we are even ordered by Brother Lin to wait for the convergence of a caravan here, in short, we will not be allowed to enter Kyoto. All kinds of limitations are shackled, and I have to trouble you. ”

"Alas, why is it so troublesome." Qiao Cui listened to Luo Qing explain his difficulties one by one, his calm face couldn't help but wrinkle, and finally he had to wave his hand and say, "Okay, I'll help you go this way, but after the fact, I need a payment." As soon as he finished saying this, he hurriedly added: "It's to chop wood for Lao Ke's iron shop." It is also a hand-over of firewood and the hand-over of money. Don't be surprised! ”

Ke Jian, who had stood aside for a long time and didn't interject, couldn't help but laugh a few times when he heard him say this.

Hearing that Qiao Cui was willing to help, the expression on Luo Qing's face also eased a lot, and he smiled faintly: "You don't have to worry about the reward." Since you mentioned it, I will definitely satisfy you. ”

"Then it's settled." Qiao Cui turned his eyes to Ke Jian after speaking, and said, "Old Ke, today's firewood money, I have to find you to pay a double share first, I'm going to go far away." ”

Ke Jian took out the money bag in his arms and threw it over, and said with a smile: "The old blacksmith doesn't like to see you chopping wood, today you have to go back to your old business, I am happy, and I will send you a good ride." ”

Qiao Cui unrestrainedly flipped the money bag in his hand, and then he sighed softly, and said with a smile: "It's enough for me to send him back to the group, you just have to go back and wait." ”

Seeing Luo Qing nodding in response, Qiao Cui took a big stride towards the outside of the iron shop, but he only walked to the door, stopped and turned around, looked at Luo Qing with his eyebrows and asked, "How is Xiao Lu's kung fu now?" ”

"Fist and foot kung fu is so-so, sword kung fu is almost none, but if you have to fight him, sneak attack is the most effective." Luo Qing replied quickly and crisply.

Qiao Cui pouted when he heard this: "Xiao Lu wants to know that you are evaluating him like this, I don't know if he will turn his face with you." ”

After he finished speaking, he continued to walk out until the figure didn't go out of the door, but after a while, he actually came back, and looked at Luo Qing Zhengse and said, "You didn't make a basket to cover me?" ”

"If I took such a big risk in order to trap you alone, I don't have the guts." Luo Qing's expression when he spoke didn't look like he was joking.

"Oh." A dull word came out of Qiao Cui's throat, and in the next moment, his figure finally disappeared from the door again.

Qiao Cui left, Luo Qing turned his face, stared at Ke Jian for a moment, and suddenly said, "You didn't mean it just now?" ”

Ke Jian looked straight at him, and said as if he was not answering: "I am a blacksmith and I don't know how to weave baskets. ”

……

After Lin Shan and Li Gai separated, they walked slowly on the street alone for a while, and finally bought a few hot steamed buns that had just been baked, and then went home.

After arriving home, just in time for a few people in the hall to set up chopsticks and serve food, ready to have lunch, he arrived at the right time.

Lin Shan was a little surprised by Shi Yi's arrival, Mo Ye told the process of the two meeting on the Xingshan Road, and carefully skipped the part where he dived to save people, but this little concealment was debunked by Lin Shan. Lin Shan pointed to Shi Yi's loose clothes and directly mentioned the princess falling into the water, and as for the reason why he knew about it, he briefly mentioned Li Gai's identity.

Mo Ye saw that the master did not mean to be angry, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, although she wanted to take the opportunity to get to know the master's friend, but at this moment, considering that she almost got into trouble, she temporarily suppressed this curiosity.

At the dinner table, Lin Shan took the initiative to apologize to Mo Ye for leaving halfway through today's flower appreciation, which made Shi Yi, who had been sitting at the table and eating silently, show a touch of novelty in his eyes. But Mo Ye didn't seem to want to forgive Lin Shan so lightly, so she complained for a while, and at the same time moved out of the past that Lin Shan left her halfway on the night of the Lantern Festival in the county town and got drunk in the restaurant with a group of college teachers. Lin Shan was speechless for a while, but the old man Qu listened to it with relish, and the lunch passed with a noisy conversation.

After lunch, Mo Ye followed Qu Xia to the kitchen to wash the dishes, but the old and young entered the kitchen, and after a while, there was a sound of laughter. It seems that Mo Ye told some interesting things that happened in Xingjia Village, amusing the lonely old man who had been alone in the old house for a few years, and the sound of talking and laughing lightly overshadowed the sound of the bumping between the ceramics when washing the dishes.

Lin Shan took a rag and carefully wiped the table, and after he finished wiping the table and put the rag back, he turned around and saw Shi Yi sitting on the chair casting a straight gaze, he seemed to be in a daze because of boredom, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"What are you thinking?" Lin Shan poured himself a cup of weak tea, then sat down at the table and asked casually.

Shi Yi came back to his senses and considered the wording for a moment before he said slowly: "I was thinking, Uncle Lin should be a big man, and among the people I know, there are many people who will show admiration after mentioning your name. But from just now to now, looking at your life up close, it is as plain as water, peaceful and warm, and there is no such ...... Majesty. ”

Shi Yi's words made Lin Shan can't help but think of some abnormal changes about this child that Jiu Niang had described to him on the top of Hualou. Looking at the words of this child who has just turned 12 years old, although they are still a little childish, if such words come from the mouth of a child who grew up in a mountain village and has not been educated in school, it is still possible to make people question.

Lin Shan's heart moved, and Wen Yan said: "This choice of words and sentences is what you got from stealing a teacher from that private school?" ”

Shi Yi's pupils shone slightly, and he said cautiously: "These are Xiao Yi's sincere words, there is no exaggeration, if there is anything inappropriate, please don't annoy me Uncle Lin." ”

"In this home, you don't have to see too much." Lin Shan smiled slightly, soothing the tension on Shi Yi's face, and he continued: "I know what you mean, the word 'majesty' you say actually means 'official authority'!" But you need to know that no matter how big an official is, when he goes home, he is a member of the family, and a person can put on the majesty of the head of the family, the majesty of the head of the house, or some other things in his own home, but if the officialdom moves home to fiddle, it will be too boring. ”

Shi Yi pondered for a while and then muttered, "Home should indeed be a place where the body and mind can be settled and rested. ”

"I didn't expect you to have such an understanding at such a young age." Lin Shan praised, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke again: "Jiu Niang has told me all about your affairs, originally I left a message for Jiu Niang and asked her to ask your opinion, but since you are destined to come to me as a guest today, then I will ask you personally, what do you think?" ”

Shi Yi said respectfully, "Uncle Lin, please ask." ”

Lin Shan nodded, and then said slowly: "Jiu Niang said that you are going to stay in Beijing and keep filial piety for your mother for three years, and you have no objection to this Uncle Lin." But I must remind you of a problem, filial piety must be maintained, and these years are the most suitable time for you to learn in your life, I don't want you to keep just a lonely filial piety, if you want to learn a craft, I can try my best to help you. ”。 (To be continued.)
