Shen Tingnian sat until dawn, and when Lin Mo came, he was obviously full of worries, a handsome young man actually had a decaying twilight on his body, his face was pale, and he found her abnormality and silence, everything was silent and sound.

The two sat opposite each other for a moment at the stone table in the courtyard.

Later, he got up and walked behind her and hugged Shen Tingnian, such a quiet moment, holding his beloved, Lin Mo should have been happy, but he was more worried, he only felt that his life was over in a thought, and he said quietly for a long time, "Every year, every time I wake up after falling asleep, there are many things that will be remembered, many feelings will be recalled, there are panic and horror, and I am even more happy and sad, I am grateful to God and let me get through, I am still alive." ”

"When I was ten years old, I was the most miserable, because of my handsome appearance, I was sold into a mansion surnamed Daguan for a penny as a prostitute, the head of the family was a good man, cruel temperament, often angry and murderous, not to mention, after falling out of favor, they were all executed, there was no way to live. I once witnessed batches of Fenghua teenagers being sent in and then dying, rabbits and foxes were sad, and things hurt them, and in the third year I finally carried out the secret escape that I had been planning for a long time, and I didn't want to go wrong and be arrested. He hated me for betraying my lord, and put me in a dungeon, where I was tortured over and over again. ”

Lin Mo paused suddenly, his body seemed to tremble, and he grabbed Shen Tingnian's hand with a slightly cool finger, and his voice was quiet and gentle.

"The dungeon is dark and cold, but when there is light, they are tortured. Endless torture, fainting, a bucket of ice water splashed over, sober to the bone. He didn't give anything to eat, he was hungry fiercely, and he would pour some rice soup when he was dying, and then he simply used ginseng to hang him, but he was not allowed to die. The most painful thing is that the joints are forcibly removed and then installed, and you can't really survive or die. ”

"Then I broke away completely, and I fell ill, and I often had nightmares...... Afraid of the dark, afraid of the cold, afraid of hunger, afraid of pain, and even more afraid that I have become a waste, riddled with wretchedness, and achieve nothing. Lin Mo took a slow breath and said, "Year after year, the taste of being slaughtered by mermaids and wanton mutilation is too terrible, life can't be oneself, grief and panic, how can we talk about the dignity of our hearts." ”

Shen Tingnian has never hated herself for being too smart at this moment, she feels sorry for him, understands him, and can accept him again, but she knows very well that he will not live an ordinary and inferior life again for her, he wants to be a master.

"Every year, I want to be able to protect you and protect you for a lifetime."

Shen Tingnian only felt that her whole heart was as dense as a needle prick, and she moved her lips for a long time: "Lin Mo, let's not see each other in the future." ”

###

"When I went out, why did I lose all my soul?" Pu Yangxu felt that she had been gone for a long time, and when she came back, she lowered her head again, and her mood was very sad.

"I ...... Went the wrong way. Shen Tingnian's voice was also low, and he was afraid of revealing more emotions, so he tried to take a breath, "I want to see my brother." ”

I was thinking about Shen Bin.

Pu Yangxu comforted her softly, "I'll take you right away." ”

In a wine tasting, the two tasted sixteen kinds of Tibetan wine, and it was a draw, and in the second drinking, Shen Yanhe drank twelve cups, his face was as red as fire, his eyes were detached, as if he had reached the limit, and Zeng Ting's face was flat, his speech was clear, and he was obviously at ease.

"Mr. Shen, I agreed."

"Shut up." Shen Yanhe held the table with one hand and hooked a glass of wine with the other, "I can drink again......"

However, her trembling hand couldn't catch the target at all, Zeng Ting was close to her, and subconsciously pushed the wine glass to her, and before her hand was withdrawn, she was caught by Shen Yanhe, she was obviously drunk, and grabbed his hand and pulled the person to her side, which instantly made Zeng Ting blush, he once drank a hundred glasses without facing at all.

It was a panic to be caught by someone, Zeng Ting twitched his hand twice and didn't pull it out, and in a hurry, Shengzhi picked up the thirteenth glass of wine and handed it to the other party's mouth: "Mr. Shen!" Wine here! ”

Shen Yanhe smelled the wine, and sure enough, she let go of him, lowered her head slowly, licked the rim of the cup he was holding, and took a sip.

Zeng Ting's eyes were stunned, and even his ears turned red now.

The onlookers all showed a tacit smile, especially Dean Shen, who stroked his beard and quietly glanced out of the pavilion, Shen Yanhe's maid quickly walked in, took the wine glass in Zeng Ting's hand, and coaxed the person down.

"Makes everyone laugh." Dean Shen was embarrassed, got up and came over to announce that the Zeng family had won the competition, and personally beckoned Zeng Ting to take a seat, and his attitude was more cordial and familiar than before.

Shen Tingnian looked at this extremely familiar scene coldly, once upon a time, Shen Qingyan married like this. Going back further, the girls of the Shen family who followed her into Beijing with a car were all married out one by one.

Unexpectedly, it was finally the turn of the most favored daughter of the Shen family.

"The poems and essays of today's feast have all been collected, and then there will be all the judges," Dean Shen sighed, he turned his head to look at Shen Tingnian: "It's noon soon, the Shen family has prepared a family banquet, let's leave after eating." ”

Shen Tingnian didn't guard against him and asked directly over Pu Yangxu, and remembering the purpose of today's trip, she nodded.

And Pu Yangxu did not refuse.

When the people on Fengming Mountain began to descend the mountain, the number of people on the official road outside the capital began to increase, and the queue to enter the city became longer and longer.

On both sides of the door of the injury-free medicine shop on West Street in Beijing, a couplet is hung: I hope everyone is healthy; Downlink: Why don't I be poor alone.

This pharmacy is an old shop, there are a lot of old customers, several medical halls on West Street have come here to buy medicinal materials, the price is good, the medicinal materials are complete, and the most important thing is that the shopkeeper of this pharmacy is good.

It's rare that no one comes to patronize today, and the old shopkeeper is drying medicinal herbs in the backyard.

A strange fragrance of orchids came from nowhere, and the old shopkeeper was most proud of his nose, which was more than ordinary people. He looked around in amazement, only to find a light-colored figure, the man with his back to him leaning over to look at the herbs planted in a corner of the backyard.

The old shopkeeper's excitement was difficult to contain, and his hands of herbs fell to the ground, "Childe? ”

However, the man just looked at the herb seriously, the rare Lausanne grass, which has the effect of clearing poison and dissipating stasis, and invigorating blood and ventilation. After standing for a long time, he turned slightly sideways and turned his head.

The old shopkeeper had been behind him, looking at him as if he was fascinated, five years, and the former boy had grown up.

It seems to have flipped through a painting in memory, the person in the painting has handsome eyebrows, a pair of eyes like water in a deep pool, and the silence makes people unable to look at it for a long time, and the old shopkeeper's eyes unexpectedly fall on the mask that covers the lower half of his face.

Yes, he never had a full picture of Lin Mo in his memory.

Lin Mo sighed invisibly: "Everyone is okay?" ”

The old shopkeeper seemed to laugh and cry, and almost couldn't say anything: "Hmm...... Good...... It's all good...... Why didn't Gongzi say anything when he returned to Beijing...... "Looking at Lin Mo again, although he is still extremely thin, his breath is stable, and half of his heart is also relaxed."

"The grass in Lausanne is planted well," Lin Mo took one last look, his eyes were calm, and he spoke softly: "Pull it out!" ”

The old shopkeeper was stunned, this Lausanne grass is extremely precious, and it took him several years of hard work to plant this piece, "Childe, these are all for ......" forcibly suppressed the words that wanted to justify, swallowed and spit out that sentence for you.

The latter turned around and walked forward, and its meaning was self-evident.

"Okay, I'll send someone to pull out the ...... immediately" The old shopkeeper greeted Lin Mo and went to the house, although this yard is a backyard, quiet and remote, but it is not very safe, he personally made a pot of Jingting Green Snow, this is the best kind of tea he treasured, or he spent a lot of effort to get it, looking at Lin Mo's stretched eyebrows, he felt that it was worth spending more money.

"Childe, the capital has been uneven recently, why did you return to Beijing at this time?"

The old shopkeeper considered his mouth, Lin Mo behaved calmly, and he couldn't see any clues, and he couldn't start if he wanted to care.

"Don't worry about me, are there strange people coming to buy Lausanne grass these days?" Lin Mo lowered his head and raised his hand, covered his face with wide sleeves, took a sip, Jingting Green Remnant Snow, Tianshan Putuo Buddha, two superb tribute teas, cool to the bones, light and mellow, this tea has not been drunk for a long time.

"Strange people?" The old shopkeeper thought for a while before shaking his head: "No, I never sell Luosang grass, and the amount is very small, so there is nothing abnormal...... In the past, a batch of goods supplied to Tai Hospital every three months was personally handed over to Dr. Wang. Since he left Beijing, I have stopped supplying. ”

Lin Mo raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were as cold as water, a little strange, and his heart trembled when he saw it.

"If there is no problem, it is the biggest problem." There is no blame, it is better than ten thousand words, Lin Mo got up, and when he left, he only left a sentence "Everything is as usual, protect yourself!" ”

The old shopkeeper's heart jumped, there was something in Lin Mo's words, he hated himself for not being able to understand, in fact, last year, when Imperial Doctor Wang used Luosang grass for the first time, he had a premonition that the peaceful days would never come back.

Lin Mo came out of the harmless medicine shop and went to the north street, he glanced around casually, and a sloppy figure squatting in the corner on the side of the street caught his attention, it was still a child, looking up at the sky with empty eyes, dirty and unrecognizable.

He looked at it more, then turned his gaze and walked on.

After taking a dozen or so steps, he stopped. Looking back and looking at it again, the kid was actually looking at him too, his eyes were wide open, but Lin Mo knew that the other party was looking at him.

Lin Mo smiled slightly, turned around again, and left.

The smile is like a warm breeze blowing willows, and the eyes are like a cold moon shining on a cold stream.

At this time, a carriage entering the city from the entrance of the West Gate drove slowly, suddenly stopped, and Shen Tingnian, who was leaning on Pu Yangxu's arms and closing his eyes to recuperate, turned his head, and was just about to open his eyes, but he gently covered his eyes, "You sleep yours." ”

Pu Yangxu's other hand stretched out from the open car window, pointed to the child on the corner of the street, and the guard who followed the outside of the car immediately passed over and carried the child over, just a dozen steps, the child looked at Pu Yangxu without blinking.

When he got closer, Pu Yangxu smiled at him.

Like the light of the rising sun, it is fleeting.

"Take it back to the palace and hand it to Chen Luo, let him clean it up."

The carriage started to drive again, the streets were wide, the cars and horses were circulating, and there were more pedestrians......
