Patriarch Li listened to Ma Hongye's words, and suddenly thought of what he had contacted him for the first time in decades.

Immediately understood, and asked as he walked, "Is there any news about herbal medicine?" ”

Ma Hongye took care of the herbs when he had time, and beckoned to the servants who came with him as he walked: "Bring the list." ”

The subordinate hurriedly caught up with the master's footsteps and offered a piece of paper with both hands.

Facing the paper sent over, Ma Hongye pulled it over and slapped it on Patriarch Li's chest: "What you want is too tricky, it's not so easy to find." But I've found some of them, so let's see. ”

It didn't take long for the two to come to the study in the backyard.

Sending his subordinates away, Ma Hongye pointed to the things on the table: "Those are other people's thank-you gifts, and there are also exchanged medicinal materials." As he spoke, he pushed a wooden box in his hand in front of Patriarch Li.

"It's a silver ticket."

Telling what to say, Ma Hongye hurriedly took out a mini box in his sleeve, although the box was small, but it was very exquisite, and the wood was exquisite.

"Senior brother, tell me, where did this thing come from?"

Ma Hongye opened the small box, and there was a fragrant ball lying inside.

Patriarch Li was not surprised by Ma Hongye's practice of leaving one, if this pill was himself, he also wanted to keep it.

However, regarding Ma Hongye's inquiry about Xiangwan, Patriarch Li thought in his heart that Chai Shuiqing's family was tight-lipped and said that he didn't know.

"What are you shaking your head at? You gave it, you don't know how it came about? ”

As soon as Ma Hongye was excited, he nagged Patriarch Li with a nervous look.

That posture was not much different from when he saw Patriarch Li before, which showed how excited he was in his heart.

Patriarch Li looked at someone who couldn't calm his emotions at all, and shook his head secretly: he is so old, and he is still so unstable.

At this moment, Patriarch Li completely forgot that he had seen Xiangmaru in his heart, and it was the same. It's just that he's more reserved.

"I don't know ...... this."

Even if you know, you can't say.

Patriarch Li didn't want to push Chai Shuiqing out, that girl carved things with techniques and spirituality, so she couldn't see her being used by those powers.

The crooked way outside had already made Patriarch Li disheartened, and he would not let Chai Shuiqing become the second him.

Ma Hongye stared at Patriarch Li for a long time, and finally just sighed deeply.

"Hey! From the moment you handed this over to me, you should have thought that this matter could not be hidden. ”

Even if he doesn't check or ask, then someone with a heart will find out about Patriarch Li.

Patriarch Li naturally knew this, but so what, even if he attracted the person in the capital, he would say that he didn't know.

Ma Hongye saw his stubbornness and shook his head: "That's it, if you don't say it, then I will treat it as ignorance." Only this time, I'll sweep the tail for you. ”

This is a promise.

The Ma family will take this matter on and will not let people think about Patriarch Li.

When Patriarch Li heard this, he glanced at Ma Hongye unexpectedly, and a look of responsibility flashed in his eyes.

In addition to this, Ma Hongye remembered another important incident about Patriarch Li.

"By the way, how did I hear the news from over there, there is a Buddha statue in the capital that has been restored by someone with a special technique, and that person is from Xijun!"

Ma Hongye stared at Patriarch Li with burning eyes, and completely identified that the craftsman was Patriarch Li.

Seeing his posture, Patriarch Li shook his head helplessly: "You still don't know me?" How could I do that......"

However, as soon as he finished saying this, Patriarch Li remembered that Chai Shuiqing had mentioned that he would teach them the carving technique, and he was speechless for a moment.

When Ma Hongye saw that he wanted to say something and stopped, he knew that Patriarch Li had something in his heart.

It seems that he knows what kind of repair technique and that incense pill is.

Knowing this, Ma Hongye thought of the person in the capital, and sighed secretly in his heart: It's been most of his life, but that person still loses, right?

Although he was uncertain, Ma Hongye felt in his heart that Patriarch Li could know such a powerful craftsman, and he had already won.

The country of Da Yue attaches great importance to literature and light on martial arts, and treats craftsmen with special favor, and even many people respect craftsmen and respect those talents.

If any family can recruit a craftsman, they will be envied by other people, just to be lucky enough to get a piece of work from another master.

This phenomenon is now very common in the country of Dayue.

And even in a remote village, the junior brother can be lucky enough to meet such a powerful craftsman, which is absolutely lucky for the Li family.

But over the years, it has really been hard for my junior brother.

Thinking that the person in front of him was younger than him, but he looked older than him on his face, Ma Hongye felt a little unhappy in his heart.

It was not the fault of his junior brother that he returned to his hometown and buried his hard work and dreams in the capital......

"That's it, don't talk about this, you have your difficulties, and I can't make it difficult for you."

Ma Hongye said, and the words changed: "But if there are still these in the future, just send them." I don't send it out either, I buy it. But what herbs do you have, I'll find them. ”

In fact, those medicinal materials have been asked by someone, and they are all antidotes.

And he didn't receive the news of the poisoning of the Li family, so the medicinal materials must have been asked for by the hermit master.

In this case, their Ma family can be the master as a shield to protect him.

Patriarch Li heard what Ma Hongye meant, and thought that Chai Shuiqing had been busy all the time, and he must still be insisting on looking for medicinal materials, so he responded.

His Li family can't give the Chai family's girl a reliable back, but he can use the power of the Ma family to use it.

So, to each according to his needs!

"My junior brother has seen my works, but I haven't done them for many years, and it seems that I have lost my aura."

Ma Hongye shifted the topic to craftsmanship, and remembered that the master's favorite thing to say was: You two learn to be honest, and the things he carved come to life.

Although it is an exaggeration, the carving techniques of the junior brother are indeed unique, at least more aura than the things they carve.

Sometimes, in addition to the master's teachings, there are some things that have their own talents!

Patriarch Li recalled the time he had spent with his master and brothers, and the corners of his lips were unconsciously curled.

I think that although I haven't stopped carving, I don't have any fine products.

He is demanding of himself, and he has not produced a few works that can satisfy him for so many years.

"I have a lot of work at home, so I practice my hands when I am not working."

Patriarch Li remembered the thought he had when he picked up the carving knife again: he was afraid that if he didn't take it for a day, he would forget the familiar feeling, and he was afraid that he would become more and more like a man in the village, forgetting the master's teachings and his own ambition.

Patriarch Li's words stopped in Ma Hongye's ears, but they were particularly distressing.

Ma Hongye looked at the deep furrow-like wrinkles on Patriarch Li's face, and his eyes turned red: "It's he who is sorry for you, I'...... I also failed to take care of you as a result of my master's ......."

In his tone, he was actually a little choked.

Patriarch Li shook his head when he heard Ma Hongye blame himself like this: "This is my own choice, not your fault." ”

As for the man, he was indeed sorry for him.

It's just that now he's just a stranger, and he doesn't want to see him, let alone take revenge or something.

In the end, we can't let the master who is below be denied rest under the ground!

Ma Hongye didn't expect that his junior brother had never resented him, but simply didn't see him. Suddenly, he whined and took Patriarch Li's hand and cried.

He felt uncomfortable, and after all these years, he could finally relax.

In the future, as long as the junior brother does not dislike it, he will protect the Li family!
