As the firelight approached the scroll, Mo Ye was finally able to find some patterns similar to vertical and horizontal lines on the paper that seemed to be nothing at a glance, and at the same time smelled a strange smell that seemed to be made of grease.

Just as Mo Ye was about to bring the fire fold closer, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from outside the room, followed by footsteps. When Mo Ye walked into Lin Shan's study, he was just going to take a look and leave, so he didn't close the door. In this way, the person who walked in from the outside did not take a few steps closer to see Mo Ye squatting on the ground in the room.

And Mo Ye, when he turned around, he could also see the long figure of the person holding the candlestick.

Mo Ye was stunned, her eyes suddenly blinked because of the long time she had been close to the fire, and when she turned her gaze into the dim hall, her eyes had a temporary visual blank. When her eyes finally adjusted to the change of light in this moment, and after seeing the slightly startled look on the person's face, she suddenly felt a heat next to her face.

Looking sideways, she screamed in shock.

When Mo Ye looked at the hall outside the study, his hands shook because of the movement of his body. The fire fold, which was already very close to the roll of paper, was ignited by the tip of the flame and the roll of paper because of this shaking. The flames devoured the paper rolls, like flowing water, and burned several inches in an instant.

Mo Ye suddenly remembered that she had smelled a trace of grease on this paper just now, and a trace of uneasy feelings instantly flooded her heart. But she didn't have time to think about it, she just blurted out and shouted, "Master! ”

She shouted, intending to call the master to come and put out the fire. At this time, Lin Shan, who was standing in the hall outside the study, had already dropped the candlestick and rushed in before she could speak. But his first action was not to pull Mo Ye away from the burning flame of the paper scroll, but to push Mo Ye out with one palm.

I don't know what the paper roll is, not only is it flammable, but once it catches fire, the speed of fire is also very fast, and it is too late to find water to splash at this time. While pushing Mo Ye away, Lin Shan had already stretched out his long arms, pulled a book from the table, and quickly threw himself at the paper roll.

Mo Ye's fire fold and the candlestick in Lin Shan's hand had all fallen to the ground and extinguished, and the room was plunged into darkness, except for the burning paper scroll, which illuminated the square inch of space in the study. Mo Ye, who fell to the side of a table leg, knocked her forehead on the side of the square table leg, and suddenly blood beads began to bubble out of her forehead, but now she only felt a rumble in her head, and she couldn't feel the pain for a while.

But in her heart, she clearly felt a trace of pain slipping through.

Because she saw that Master's eyes were all occupied by the paper scroll that was about to burn out. By the last moment of light from the burning scroll, she watched quietly as his hand slapping the flame slowly stopped, and something seemed to be slowly falling from her eyes.

Soon, the paper rolls burned out, and only the paper shafts at both ends remained. As the light of the fire faded, darkness enveloped the master and apprentice. Mo Ye suddenly felt that the color of the night seemed to have a temperature today, but it was not warm, but with a piercing chill, drilling into her body along every pore on her skin. She couldn't help but shudder, and then she heard Lin Shan's roar, and then it seemed that many books fell to the ground with a hula and a whirl.

From the sound of the candlestick falling to the ground at the beginning, to the roar of Lin Shan, even the well-insulated house built by Lin Shan's supervisor could not completely block this series of violent noises that occurred in the middle of the night.

It didn't take long for Mo Ye to be immersed in darkness when he saw his uncle and aunt walking in with candlesticks each.

Seeing Mo Ye sitting on the ground, Li Shi hurriedly leaned over to help her up, only to find that she still had a wound on her forehead, and her eyes suddenly showed surprise. However, after taking a few closer glances at the wound, Li Shi confirmed that the blood beads oozing from the wound had gradually coagulated, and knew that Mo Ye's injury was not deep, so he was a little relieved.

Lai Shi was extremely shocked by what happened tonight. Looking around the room, she could probably guess the course of the matter seven or eight points. But what she couldn't guess about the remaining three points was that she didn't understand why Lin Shanyin hurt Mo Ye.

"What's going on?" Li Shi placed the candlestick on the table, and then pulled out the handkerchief from his waist to prepare to bandage Mo Ye.

When Mo Ye saw Li Shi, her mood was finally calmer, but she didn't say anything, and pushed away Li Shi's hand that was about to reach over to help her bandage the wound on her forehead. She just fixed her eyes on Lin Shan, who was also sitting on the ground, and when she saw the red blood under his nose, her body couldn't help but twitch, and then pounced.

"Master, you ...... What happened to you? ”

Mo Ye's hand touched the edge of Lin Shan's clothes, and he was about to bend his knees to sit beside him, but he saw Lin Shan's sudden palm again, pushing Mo Ye back and sitting on the ground. This time, it was heavier than the palm he put out when he put out the fire just now, if it wasn't for Li Shi blocking it behind him, Mo Ye would almost fall to the corner.

Pushed away by the master again, Mo Ye only felt that his whole body was almost knocked apart, and he was numb with pain. But she still didn't cry, she was stunned.

The physical pain is far less than the mental shock. Mo Ye just sat on the ground with his backhand, staring blankly at his master who didn't even look at him, and never said half a word again. She was also completely unaware of the surprised Li Shi who wanted to help her up.

Li Shi felt sorry for Mo Ye and couldn't understand why Lin Shan's was like this, but at the same time, he also saw that Lin Shan's nostrils were slowly spilling blood. Red blood flowed through his closed lips and dripped onto the placket of his plain white shirt, looking unusually dazzling. But he just sat on the ground as if he had lost his soul, and he didn't realize it.

At this time, Ma An was beside Lin Shan, he saw this appearance of Lin Shan at the closest distance, and found that one of his hands was pressed on the ashes left by the burning of a kind of paper on the ground, and the green tendons on the back of his hand loomed, as if he was going to cut a hole in the stone floor, and Ma An's heart was also confused for a while. didn't look for a hand towel, so he pulled up his sleeve to wipe his mouth, but Ma An just wiped it and was blocked by Lin Shan.

Seeing that he finally moved, Ma An hurriedly asked anxiously, "What happened?" Why did you both get this way? ”

Lin Shan didn't say anything, only supported the ground with one hand, and slowly stood up. Ma An was going to help him, but he blocked him in advance.

Walking slowly to the door of the study, Lin Shan's footsteps were obviously a little unsteady. He let out a long sigh of relief from the door frame, then turned his back to all the people in the room, and was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "The hard work of several years will be ruined tonight." ”

Lin Shan's voice went to the back, and the heartfelt feelings became more and more heavy. After saying this, he had no more words. The hand holding the door frame was released, and he walked outside with somewhat vain steps, not knowing where he was going.

Seeing this, Ma An subconsciously wanted to chase him out, but he stopped again when he ran to the gate. Glancing back at Mo Ye, Ma An said to Li Shi: "Eldest sister, I'll chase him first, and this family will be handed over to you to take care of." ”

Li Shi's eyebrows twisted slightly, and when he heard this, he said to Ma An: "He seems to be sick, and he is so angry...... Once you've caught up with him, you'll have to find a way to bring him back. If he doesn't want to, you force him, and you can't let him be out all night like this. ”

Ma An said with a look of embarrassment: "With my kung fu, I'm afraid I am not his opponent...... I can only promise to follow him all the way. ”

Li Shi hurriedly said: "Use your brain! I'm not forcing you to do anything with him. Isn't he coming back, are you really going to knock him out and bring him back? ”

"Okay, I'll follow him first, and then I'll figure out a way." Maan nodded heavily, and then hurried out.

After Ma An left, Li Shi let out a long sigh of relief, and only then did she feel that Mo Ye, who was next to her, was trembling slightly. She hurriedly rubbed the place where she had been hit just now, and asked at the same time: "Ye'er, where else does it hurt on your body, tell Aunt Sù, let me take a closer look at you." ”

"I ...... I just feel pain in my heart now. Mo Ye finished this sentence slowly, suddenly grabbed Li Shi's hand, looked into her eyes, and asked with a sad expression, "My master...... What's wrong with him? ”

"Ye'er, you have caused a big disaster." Li Shi looked at Mo Ye's face, with a hint of distress in his eyes, and said in a slow tone: "This matter is your fault, so you can't hate your master because he pushed you twice." ”

"I don't hate him for that." Mo Ye's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then said, "I'm just worried, I saw Master's mouth and nose just now...... It's all blood...... What the hell happened to him? ”

"I'm not mad at you." Li Shi glanced at Mo Ye with a reproachful gaze, and then comforted her: "I'm angry, but it's just a matter of this moment, and your master is not an old man, so he can bear it." When she came here, she glanced into the dark night outside the open door, sighed, and said, "When he comes back, he will rest for a few days, and when he is gone, he will be fine." ”

Mo Ye finally couldn't help crying until this time, and said while crying, "What trouble did I do...... How could Master be so angry...... I...... I don't know anything. ”

Li Shi shook his head slightly, nothing. After Yu Moye bandaged the abrasions on her forehead, Li Shi took her hand and led her to his room, and then said softly: "Tonight, my aunt is guarding you, let's sleep well first." ”

Unexpectedly, Mo Ye actually walked outside the house again, and at the same time sobbed: "I...... Wait for Master to come back and apologize to him. ”

Li Shi took Mo Ye's hand and said, "Listen to my aunt's advice, now go to sleep first." Your master is angry now, and if he comes back in a while, you'd better not even show up in front of him. ”

She saw a trace of uneasiness in Mo Ye's eyes, and said, "You won't hate your master, and he won't hate you because of this matter." It's just that there is anger in your heart, and it always takes time to dissipate, so you don't want to continue to anger him at this time. When his anger is gone, he will return to his usual appearance
