The secluded and somewhat unfamiliar street quickly receded behind her head, and after the tea, the little girl could finally feel that the street scene around her was familiar, because she was about to arrive home, and her home, located in the east of the city, was also in the middle of a secluded road.

However, seeing that she was about to get home, the little girl suddenly had a frightened thought, and secretly said in her heart: This person has a strange ugly face, gloomy eyes, but his martial arts are extremely strong, it can't be anything...... Vicious characters, right?

After hesitating for a moment, considering that this conjecture would implicate the safety of her own mansion, she frowned and plucked up the courage to ask, "Is my uncle from Kyoto?" ”

Wu Shu didn't answer immediately, but in the process of moving forward at such a rapid pace, the little girl suddenly asked such a sentence, which could still make him smell something different.

Wu Shu was very confident that after he saw Ye Zhengming, he didn't have to say many things very clearly, and the other party would naturally understand and not ask. There are some things between adults that have been archived in memory for a long time. But in the face of Ye Zhengming's young daughter, Wu Shu was a little difficult. He didn't want to leave too many fragments of the adult's past that were not too gentle in her new blank life and memory.

This child is a little eccentric, but his heart is also simple and kind, as if he only needs a big wind to blow, it will be wrinkled and scarred, presumably in ordinary life, Ye Zhengming has not mentioned those things between adults to her.

Because of the little girl's problem, Wu Shu took some things into consideration, but that's not all. It was just a blink of an eye, and he suddenly thought of the title that Mo Ye called him just now.

This title has been imposed on him by Mo Ye for a few days, but he doesn't want to accept it.

Wu Shu thought that after the completion of this mission, he would probably not have any more intersections with her, and he himself could not adapt to suddenly getting so close to a stranger, even if it was only in terms of title. Perhaps he tried to do so, but was met with a lot of rejection. After going through so much, he got used to it, and finally got used to being alone.

Getting used to loneliness for a long time can make it easy to forget that you have tried to reject loneliness.

Wu Shu looked at Mo Ye, who was fainting in his arms, his gaze wandered over her slightly bloodless face, and finally landed on the wrinkle on her brow.

There was silence all the way, and when he was about to reach the door of the little girl's house, Wu Shu finally opened his mouth and said in a calm voice: "I have been away from here for a while. ”

The little girl nodded, not asking anything more.

This capital city and the entire Zhao country. In the past ten years, there have been great changes. The little girl has been living in this world for less than a decade, but she can already feel the changes. So she understands. Even those who have lived here have left for a year and a half, and when they come back, they will probably have a lot of unfamiliarity.

The time constraint also made her unable to ask too many questions. I can only pick the doubts that I think are most important. Wu Shu's answer can be regarded as hitting the scope of what she can understand.

However, she didn't know that this ugly man who was carrying himself behind his back and holding that sister in his arms had just broken a special case in his life that had been closed for several years when he said this sentence just now.

Wu Shu lied. In order to protect Mo Ye's identity.

The door number of the Ye Mansion that was getting closer and closer reminded him that he could have not had to tell this lie, but he did it anyway. Maybe if you want to trace the reason for what he did. It was the "Uncle Wu" she shouted in the crowd on the street before.

Approaching the door of the house, Wu Shu squatted down, and the little girl understood, and quickly slipped off his back. She had been bumped on his back all the way. I only felt five internal shocks, dizzy and dizzy. There was even a delusion that the ugly young man seemed to be more familiar with the location of her home than she was. It's good now, I finally don't have to do it so much.

However, as soon as her feet touched the ground, she felt as if she was stepping on a volley of open nets, and the short child's body was swaying from side to side, unable to walk in a straight line.

Wu Shu looked at her like this, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly said, "If you grab the corner of my clothes, you won't fall." ”

This...... It was originally a common move for Mo Ye to stand beside him.

According to Wu Shu's usual habits, he could have easily crossed the wall directly, but the Ye Mansion he was facing at this moment was not a mansion that he usually needed to listen to news, or to assassinate someone. On the contrary, the person who could save the girl in his arms could be regarded as his old friend, but although he and this old friend lived in the same capital, they had not seen each other for many years. In short, no matter what aspect it is, he can't go directly into the house by climbing over the wall.

But he didn't have much experience in visiting other people's houses, and if he wanted to go to the door of his old friend's house in such a polite way in the eyes of ordinary people, he would still unconsciously have a strange feeling in his heart.

Fortunately, this slightly embarrassed and slightly embarrassing love was quickly released in a sudden turning point.

Wu Shu was holding Mo Ye in his arms, and it was inconvenient to free his hands to knock on the door, and it was impossible to use his feet instead of kicking the door with his hands. And at this moment, Wu Shu saw the little girl swaying her steps to the door of her house, she was limited in height and couldn't reach the door knocker, so she had to reach out and pat the door panel, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Open the door!" It's me, there's a patient in need of treatment! ”

Surprisingly, she just slapped the door panel after reaching out her hand, and the door of the mansion, which looked a little heavy, slowly opened to the inside of the house.

The little girl was stunned, but Wu Shu, who was standing beside her, quickly noticed the middle-aged man standing directly opposite the gate.

A moment after the gate opened, the middle-aged man who stood straight in the middle courtyard directly opposite the gate, his eyes were stern and implicit, and it seemed that he was waiting for someone, so he said in a calm voice: "Noor, where did you go last night?" ”

As soon as his words started, Wu Shu felt the hand of the little girl next to him who was pulling the corner of his clothes tremble.

The look in Wu Shu's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

The middle-aged man standing opposite, judging from his appearance and the way he looked at this side, it was not difficult to discern his identity in this mansion. He is the owner of this house, the father of the little girl, and also one of the nine imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and the famous doctor Ye Zhengming in Kyoto.

However, the little girl standing on the side faced her father, and did not say a word like Wu Shu, as if standing opposite her was just a stranger who had nothing to do with her.

However, this was not the case, she faced Ye Zhengming, and slowly lowered her head, her eyes full of fear. She was obviously under her father's scrutinizing gaze, and she was consciously repenting of what mistakes she had made.

Ye Zhengming saw that his daughter was back, and there was a stranger with him, and the annoyance in his heart was temporarily suppressed by doubts. When I looked closely, there were still two strangers, and the girl who was much younger of them seemed to be in a bad condition.

Thinking of the words that his daughter shouted when she opened the door just now, Ye Zhengming temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart. The patient's suffering is the most urgent and important matter in the eyes of the doctor, and he is not fit to deal with private matters under the attention of outsiders.

However, when he walked towards the gate, his eyes fell on Wu Shu's face, and when he got closer, he saw Wu Shu's unusual half of his face clearly, and his gaze couldn't help jumping.

Getting closer, Ye Zhengming saw more clearly, and he quickly decided one thing in his heart because of what he saw at the time.

Although his gaze froze on Wu Shu's differently colored face, he did not show the slightest fear of that ugly and somewhat terrifying face.

As a physician with nearly a decade of medical experience, Ye Zhengming has seen many poor patient conditions. Among the external wounds, when the burned person's affected area is the most hideous and terrifying, Wu Shu's face is relatively easy to accept compared to the wounds he has seen. However, even so, when he and Wu Shu looked at each other closely, a smile actually appeared on his face, and this scene always felt a little weird and weird in the eyes of his daughter standing aside.

"Is that you?" Ye Zhengming gradually smiled and said calmly.

Wu Shuyi said calmly: "It's me." ”

Wu Shu's half of the face full of strange meanings made him not good at expressing the gentle affection of a smile. Facing Ye Zhengming's smile, he just showed a wisp of warmth in his eyes, but for him, this was already a very strong expression of joy.

In the eyes of Ye Zhengming's daughter, the greetings between the two adults who seemed to be old acquaintances were only paused in these two words that were too short to be called sentences.

Ye Zhengming's eyes no longer had the anger towards his daughter before, nor the idleness that he had cultivated after a few days at home, his eyes lit up, and his solemn and serious gaze fell on the girl in Wu Shu's arms, and he quickly noticed the blush on the corners of her mouth and the placket, and he showed a look on his face that wanted to speak and stopped.

But in the end, he didn't say much, except a brief sentence: "Follow me." ”

Ye Zhengming's daughter looked at the two people who were walking in front of them and turned to the back house, she was stunned, and hurriedly followed the back house.

……

Kyoto is the second most prosperous capital city in the Shokoku Mall, but no matter how many goods enter and leave the city and coastal ports every day, no matter how many people flow through the Sifang Gate every day, no matter how much live silver is circulated between merchants and ordinary people every day, and how much tax revenue the imperial court can collect, the prosperity and hustle and bustle of this capital seem to be unable to exaggerate the tranquility of the bamboo forest in the south of the city.

It is impossible to occupy a high mountain area in the realm surrounded and guarded by the capital, but this bamboo forest leans on a large mountain, a mountain made of huge garbage. This bamboo forest is also leaning against an unnamed lake with majestic water resources, but the water in this lake is green all year round, and I don't know if it will be slowly poisoned after drinking.
