Yan Guang said slowly with some helplessness: "The few things he has done are no better for anyone." But if he doesn't want to touch that mold, it won't work. ”

Yan Xingzhi listened to his grandfather's answer, and his heart became more and more confused, and he said puzzledly: "Hearing you say this, it seems that some of the unkind things that the pharmacist encountered were all troubles that he found himself?" ”

"I'm only sure that the two things in the palace are probably asking for trouble, because he has never been very close to the royal people, and I don't know what the real reason is." After Yan Guang said this, he continued to bow his head and drink the soup.

After eating a bowl of delicious vegetarian soup, he suddenly said: "The reason why I always scold him for blaming the old man is that I can't get used to his attitude towards certain things." Back then, in front of the emperor of the previous dynasty, he swore a poisonous oath in the main hall, that is, he would not save the life of the old queen mother, and he also shaved the face of the emperor of the previous dynasty. If it weren't for the fact that the current emperor Xià entered Beijing before he was imprisoned and was about to be beheaded, he might have really become a ghost. But even so, he has been with His Majesty for less than half a year, and he has torn his face again, and he doesn't know how to repay the favor, do you say that he is a bit muddy? ”

"The medicine man's personality is a little unusual." Yan Xingzhi smiled and said a perfunctory sentence to his grandfather, and his words could easily be read as biased.

After a long period of accompaniment and observation, Yan Xingzhi felt that Liao Shi's mouth was too damaged. If he were to be put in a court with complicated rules, perhaps the result would be either that he would be beheaded or that of a member of the royal family would be killed in anger. Maybe it's because of this that he doesn't like people who are close to the royal family, and he knows that he can't adapt to that environment, so he simply tears his face to the end.

Fortunately, the second royal family he offended was today, otherwise the result might be as miserable as his grandfather said. At the same time, Yan Xingzhi also understood why Liao Shizai was moving stones to hurt himself, and he had to pretend to be insane and not serve the royal family at the risk of being killed, but his grandfather knew about these situations but did not help at all.

By this time. Yan Xingzhi didn't care about Liao Shi's reputation and what others said, but he was even more curious, what were the two trouble-seeking things he did in the palace?

However, he only asked twice tentatively, and was rejected by his grandfather.

Yan Guang, who didn't want to say more, shook his head, but said lightly: "You don't need to know the details of his past." In the future, we may have a lot to cooperate with him, so grandpa told you so much, just to let you understand and understand more clearly, Liao Shi is not a person who abides by the rules. Relatively speaking, some of the rumors about him are indeed false. ”

……

I went to the old house last night, and saw the face of the night walker in the ruins. Mo Ye, who returned, had nightmares all night.

From time to time, she saw the Master's blood-stained figure, coughing up blood and telling her to run while blocking the killer rushing from behind. From time to time, I saw the killer who was black and pressed chasing after him. After being stabbed by Master's sword, he was still able to stagger to his feet. Occasionally, the black scarves covering their faces fell off in the chaos, revealing a skull with deeply sunken eyes, nostrils, and cheeks.

The frightening but fragmented dream tossed Mo Ye all night, and her back, which was attached to the futon, was unconsciously wet with cold sweat. Until it was almost dawn, the sound of chickens could be heard outside the window from several distant homes. She had fallen asleep for a while.

The sun was shining outside, Mo Ye suddenly woke up, got out of bed and pulled his shoes and just walked out of the house, he sneezed a few times in a row.

Shisu, who came from not far away, happened to see this scene, and she hurriedly quickened her pace to get closer, after taking a few careful glances at Mo Ye. Soon it was found that there was a large imprint of tide on her back. Shiso Dansu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he asked with some concern: "I just lay down all night, why did I sweat so much?" I'll take you to change your clothes first. If you catch a cold, it's not good. ”

Dongfeng Building was closed for two days, and Mo Ye was not surprised by the early rise of Shiso. However, when Mo Ye saw Shisu approaching, her face showed surprise, because she saw Shisu's hand tied with a thick layer of plain gauze. But she remembered that Shiso's hand was still good yesterday.

Mo Ye followed Zisu into the house and asked in surprise, "Seventh sister." What happened to your hand? ”

Shisu didn't care much and said casually: "I accidentally got it when I was washing clothes just now, so it's not in the way." ”

"How can it hurt your hands to do laundry." Mo Ye shook his head a little puzzled, "The cloth is so thickly bandaged, this doesn't look like a very light injury." ”

"You guessed right, and I didn't say it wrong." Zi Su stopped, turned to look at Mo Ye and said calmly: "I don't understand, how can you hide a paper cutting knife in your clothes." ”

Mo Ye was stunned.

"Originally, I didn't want to mention it too much, for fear that you would be sad again, but now that I hear you talk about this, I am also a little curious, and I want to ask you." Zi Su sighed softly, his eyes slowly fell to his hand that was as tightly wrapped as a small ball, and slowly continued: "When you were sent to Dongfeng Tower a few days ago, your clothes were covered with blood, and I was going to burn all those clothes, but when I saw the booklet fall out of your arms, I wondered if you should leave some of the things on your body, and let you choose whether to leave them or not." ”

Mo Ye's mind fluctuated for a moment, and he was silent and did not answer.

"There was also blood stains on my underwear, and I couldn't let the handymen in the building clean it, so I had to do it myself." After thinking about it for a while, Shisu said: "The underwear you wore that day was sewn by someone very carefully, I don't know if it has a different meaning to you like that booklet." ”

That dress was indeed sewn by Mo Ye when she lived in Xingjia Village, and her aunt sewed it for her with stitches and threads. The aunt rarely goes out to stay, so there is no way to buy clothes for Mo Ye, from childhood to adulthood, almost all the clothes Mo Ye wears are made of stitches and threads. Shisu's carefulness made Mo Ye grateful, but when she thought of her aunt who had been separated in a hurry not long ago, she couldn't help but have a sour nose.

Then, Mo Ye thought of the cloak that her aunt had made for her when she was leaving, and seemed to have sensed something. She remembered that her aunt had said that it was a gift for her, but Master did not take it with her when she left, and placed a reason. At that time, Mo Ye felt that the reason was a bit far-fetched, but she didn't argue anything, but at this time, she suddenly understood another meaning in the master's deception of her.

"Human life is fragile, and good and bad are unpredictable. Mo Ye, you are also going to start learning to grow up, Master will always leave you one day, I just hope that on that day, you will be able to take care of yourself. ”

I don't know why, Mo Ye, who was silent, was wandering in the love of missing his aunt, but such a passage suddenly appeared in his mind. Then she remembered that this was what Master had said to her. She was a little surprised, in the days when she was growing up, Master spent the most time with her, and said a lot to herself, and she should have forgotten a lot, but she was suddenly able to remember this passage so clearly.

"Master hopes that he can grow up quickly, so he will withdraw some things that are easy for him to cut his constant dependence."

Mo Ye warned herself like this in her heart, and she was going to entrust Zi Su to burn the underwear as well. These old things, keeping them will only increase the sadness, even if you want to keep them, not only are they useless, but they will still decay in the end.

However, when she was about to speak, she clearly remembered the look on Master's face when she said that. She understood that the reason why she could remember so clearly was because it was one of the few times that the master had spoken to her very strictly.

Moreover, at that time, he seemed to have something sad in his eyes, because she was also sad at this time, so she would sensitively read his sadness in the fragments of memories.

Don't...... Could it be that he had expected what was happening now from that time?

Mo Ye's heart couldn't help but sink slightly.

No...... That was five years ago!

Just as Mo Ye's thoughts wandered to this place, Zisu, who was standing aside and looking at her hair flute for a while, couldn't help but shake her arm and asked softly, "Xiao Ye, could it be that you already felt something before you came to Kyoto?" ”

Mo Ye was stunned, hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and said, "No, when I left Xingjia Village, I couldn't have thought of such a cruel thing. The night before leaving, Master said a lot to me, which made me very confused, but I felt very clearly about my melancholy feelings. ”

"What did he say?" As soon as Shisu opened his mouth, he regretted it a little, and quickly added a sentence: "Did he say that he brought you to Kyoto, what are you going to do?" ”

"Master said very vaguely about this. He just told me to show me something, to see some people, and I didn't have to do anything. After Mo Ye said this, he took a deep breath, and after a moment of silence, he said, "If I could have known in advance that I came to Kyoto to see these people and these things, I shouldn't have come." ”

Listening to what Mo Ye said, Zi Su didn't speak immediately, she groaned for a long time before she said: "Xiao Ye, you really don't have the ability to do anything now, but I don't want you to make your mind weak before you have the external strength. ”

The frustrated expression on Mo Ye's face moved slightly, and he looked at Zisu without speaking.

Shisu's face was so calm that he almost sternly continued: "You are very careful, and you have made preparations in advance, but it is useless for you to only hide the knife. Because of this knife that is ready to be used in times of danger, you don't even have the courage to pull it out. Indeed, this paper cutter is small and thin, and compared to the sharp blades in the hands of those killers, it is simply vulnerable. However, if you forget to take care of everything in a critical moment, even if you are prepared with a knife that sharpens iron like clay, will you still forget it like you forgot this paper knife, and forget to pull it out and swing it at a critical moment to protect yourself? ”
