Liao Shi didn't know what he thought, but he laughed silently, and only after laughing did he say slowly: "Now, it seems that it doesn't make sense to make up anything to exculpate myself." Now I'm in your house, and after five years of precipitation, your identity has changed a lot, and the situation in Kyoto is very different. So what you want to do with me now is very easy and not troublesome. ”

Lin Shan's tone did not have the slightest warmth: "To punish you, if you choose to kill people, even if it is in Kyoto, I dare to do it that night." So now you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Well, I'm sure you have the guts." Liao Shizhi took out a small bottle from his arms and put it on the table, then pointed to the bottle and continued: "The truth is always not deceiving, although the poisoned person did a very clean job with his hands and feet, but he was not good enough to dispose of the girl's body. This bottle contains the girl's blood, and I tested the name of this poison in my early years, do you want to know? ”

The bottle contained the blood of Mo Ye's mother, and because he was also involved in the poisoning case, Liao Shi felt guilty, so he kept avoiding calling the woman's name.

Lin Shan hesitated, but still reached out and scooped the bottle. The liquid in the bottle had no temperature, but when he held it in his hand, he seemed to feel the cold to the bone. His hand trembled slightly, then he placed the bottle on the table and withdrew his hand.

"Why did you give it to me?" After a long time, Lin Shan smiled coldly and said coldly: "Do you want me to pour it into the teacup of the person who poisoned her?" ”

Liao Shi did not answer immediately, but shrunk his hand into the white-washed and rough sleeves of his coat, rubbing aimlessly. After being silent for a while, he said slowly in a somewhat trembling voice, "Are you still doubting me?" ”

Lin Shan stared at Liao Shi's eyes, non-committal, and said solemnly for a while: "Sue me, who was the person who ordered you to take the abortion pill back then?" ”

"I won't sue you for this, even if you will be charged with being suspected by you for the rest of your life." Liao Shi quickly replied in a firm tone this time.

After thinking about it, he didn't avoid Lin Shan's scorching gaze anymore, but looked at Lin Shan and said seriously: "It's better to forget some things, this sentence, even if you didn't ask me this question today, I would treat you." ”

"It looks like you didn't answer what I asked, and you returned the nonsense." Lin Shan smiled silently, and there was not a trace of warmth in that smile. He pondered for a moment before he spoke again: "Actually, when I asked you this question, I also felt very conflicted in my heart. When I ask you this question, I don't really want to know the name, and your answer is not nonsense. ”

Liao Shi said in a shocked voice: "Could it be that you already know?" ”

"I don't know, exactly, I'm not sure which one it is." Lin Shan gently twisted the lid of the teacup with his fingers, and after a while he withdrew his hand, and shrunk his hand into the sleeve of the plain thin cotton, he didn't know if he was afraid of the cold, or he didn't want Liao Shi to see the mood of his hands at this time. I heard him say calmly: "I won't investigate this matter for the time being, but I'm afraid it will be hard to forget in my life." ”

"Back then, the people who poisoned her or gave abortion pills, whether she could have been born or died, they hurt her, and they were still two people like that, and I can't forgive the desperation contained in such an act."

When he got here, he stood up and walked to the door, staring a little blankly at the icicles under the eaves that had melted from the snow on the rubble overnight and slowly condensed. The lower sharp corners of the icicles caught a little sporadic sunlight, turning into a bright spot and reflecting into his eyes, making his eyes look slightly bright, but it was the crystal light that covered the mood that should have been reflected in his eyes.

After a long time, Lin Shan looked at Liao Shi slightly sideways, and said lightly: "There are some things that you can't forget if you want to forget them, maybe you try hard to forget something, and you have worked hard for several years, but in the end you remember it again because of a sentence, a song, and a person." Sadly, sad things are often more memorable than happy things. ”

"I don't know why, but I feel that you are very resentful now." Liao Shi also stood up, he looked at Lin Shan, and after holding back, he couldn't help but add: "Based on my medical diagnosis, I think you should go back to Kyoto?" If you are locked up in a small house all day with a milk doll, you will soon become a resentful woman. ”

Liao Shi's words were directly exchanged for a burst of ice slag. Fortunately, Liao Shi was ready to take precautions before he was ready to talk more, so he got up from his chair before he spoke, just to dodge faster.

And the person who suddenly changed the image of the Wenli scribe and became violent only wanted to punish him slightly, so Liao Shi just turned his head and dodged the ice slag that was about to cut his throat. Rao is like this, Liao Shi still couldn't help but stretch out one hand to stroke his chest, and the other hand waved towards Lin Shan several times to stop him: "Don't, don't, I just said the wrong thing, I apologize to you." ”

Lin Shan's series of movements from jumping, pulling the ice to throwing his backhand out are extremely fast. At this time, he had already gathered his momentum, but the sleeve robe raised in the wind was still trembling slightly, and the feeling of the whole person in terms of momentum was also suddenly changed, and the unwillingness, entanglement and anger between his eyebrows just now were instantly subverted by a heroic spirit like a sword out of the sheath, so that Liao Shi couldn't help but say in his eyes: "Alas, God is actually a little unfair, my age is obviously not a few years older than you, how can I be so old?" ”

Lin Shan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately smiled: "Didn't you always want that girl to call you grandpa a few more times?" Why do you want to change your mind now? ”

Liao Shi rubbed his hands together with an embarrassed look on his face and said, "Listening to your reminder, I just remembered, haha." ”――

When Mo Ye woke up, he found that in addition to the master, there was also a very strange-looking old man in the bedroom. And unlike usual, this time, the master, who was as close to him as a father in his usual life, sat at the small table in the bedroom, and the person closest to him, sitting on the edge of the bed, was the old man who was smiling and looking at him.

Fortunately, although this strange old man is very thin and his back is slightly hunched, his eyes are very bright, and his body exudes a faint vegetal smell, not the decay of the old man's body, so Mo Ye does not feel afraid.

This old man is naturally the medicine ghost Liao Shi.

Liao Shi saw Mo Ye wake up, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of Mo Ye, I'm a doctor, how do you feel now?" ”

Mo Ye looked at Liao Shidao curiously: "I think you are a little different from ordinary doctors. ”

Liao Shi smiled: "How is it different? ”

"I don't come out, maybe it's more kind than them." Mo Ye thought for a moment and then added, "And you know my name, so you must know me, but I don't know you yet." ”

Liao Shi was happy when he heard this, but he didn't say anything to Mo Ye, but turned his head to look at Lin Shan, and said a little proudly: "How is it?" I'm not bad, right? Children don't lie. ”

Lin Shan smiled and said, "Later, you will watch her drink the medicine you dispensed, if she doesn't turn her face with you, it's not too late for you to say this." ”

When Liao Shi heard him say this, the look on his face that was about to fly out suddenly dissipated most of it, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

Lin Shan put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and walked to the side of the bed while saying to Mo Yewen: "Girl, this old man's name is Liao Shi, he saved your life when you were young, but you didn't remember it at the time, so you don't know." You are not small now, you have to remember this matter, and you will have the opportunity to repay it in the future. ”

Mo Ye nodded seriously, then glanced at Liao Shi in contemplation, and said to Lin Shan, "Master, what medicine do I need to take?" Listen to you, isn't that medicine particularly unpalatable? ”

Most children like to eat sugar rather than medicine, which seems to be a common psychological response in the primitive genes of human beings, even if the most intelligent children do.

Lin Shan also grew up gradually from a child, because he really took care of Mo Ye, so it was easy to take into account Mo Ye's feelings at this time. But for this matter, he didn't want to use simple persuasion to help Mo Ye overcome the psychological barrier, not to mention that Mo Ye had to cure this hidden disease that was left in his body because of a palace forbidden secret, so he had to take medicine.

However, looking at Liao Shi's expression and attitude at this time, Lin Shan also felt that the matter of medicinal treatment of Mo Ye did not seem to be simple. Therefore, Lin Shan's question about Mo Ye could only be to look at Liao Shi and say softly: "I have to ask him about this." ”

Mo Ye turned his eyes to look at Liao Shi, but he didn't say anything.

Liao Shi was silent for a while, coughed dryly and said slowly: "Since it is medicine, the taste is naturally not very good, but maybe some people have different tastes, uh"

Mo Ye didn't wait for Liao Shi to finish speaking, and hurriedly said: "Doctor, I like to eat sweet, I don't like to eat bitter." ”

Liao Shi was stunned and was speechless. At this moment, Li Shi walked in from outside, still holding a bowl of things in his hand. Seeing this, Mo Ye had already sat up from the bed by himself, stretched his neck, glanced at the black thick juice in the bowl, frowned again and again, and said, "You can see it at a glance, it must be unpleasant." ”

Lin Shan, who was standing next to the bed, took the bowl held by Li Shi, motioned for her to go out first, then sat on the edge of the bed, held the bowl closer to Mo Ye, and said at the same time: "If you want to cure the disease, you must take medicine, and good medicine is good for the disease." ”

Seeing that the medicine bowl was already close in front of him, Mo Ye simply covered his nose, twisted his light eyebrows, and said angrily: "Don't, I smell this medicine unpleasantly." ”

After Lin Shan was silent for a while, he actually brought the bowl close to his mouth and tasted it. Under the surprised gazes of Mo Ye and Liao Shi, Lin Shan swallowed the medicinal juice, and then said softly: "It's really bitter, but it's only the tongue that is bitter, and if you swallow it, it won't be bitter." After Lin Shan, the hand holding the bowl handed it to Mo Ye again.

Liao Shi on the side couldn't help but say: "The child is still young and sick, why don't you let me feed her?" ”

Lin Shan didn't look at Liao Shi, but looked at Mo Ye, who was a little dodgy, and slowly spoke: "The weight of a porcelain bowl, a three-year-old child has enough strength to hold it. And taking medicine is not like eating, it is not enjoyment, because you are afraid of bitterness and eat slowly, but it will magnify the bitter taste. ”

He paused at this point, looked at Mo Ye's gaze for a moment, and then continued: "Taking medicine is sometimes like overcoming the difficulties in life, swallowing it in one gulp, striding over, in order to solve the root of the problem, cringe, only prolonging the suffering. ”

After Lin Shan finished speaking, Mo Ye finally slowly removed the hand covering her mouth and nose and took the bowl that Lin Shan handed to her. It's just that she pursed her somewhat dry lips, but she still couldn't drink the medicinal soup in the bowl immediately. She hesitated for a moment before she said in a deep voice, "Master, I want to drink a glass of water first." ”
