The next day.
Ye Changshan got up a little later than usual today. After getting up, he only felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach and his appetite seemed not as good as before. As a hunter, Ye Changshan has always had a habit of eating a very large meal in the morning. After all, once you go into the mountains and guard the prey, you won't be able to take care of so much, so you must eat a full meal in the morning. Today, Ye Changshan lost his appetite after eating only half a piece of pancake.
After breakfast, Ye Changshan went to Senior Sister Zichun and asked her to take a look at him. After checking his pulse, Zichun didn't find anything unusual. He just said that it was because Ye Changshan had been too busy with his studies recently and had lost his temper. He just needed to rest more these days. It just so happened that a new batch of pills would be released tonight. Zichun Tell me to add a few more spleen-tonifying herbs to Ye Changshan's portion before the stove. After saying that, she hurried to find Ji Yangyu and asked him to go back to the mountains to collect some medicinal herbs. She said that it would not be effective if it was too late.
Ji Yang and Zheng looked at the chess record that they had read countless times with great interest. Yingping stood behind Ji Yang and Zheng and followed the third uncle to read the chess record called "Bodhi No Tree" with some confusion. The two of them were so engrossed in watching that they almost forgot everything around them.
Suddenly, a slender little hand appeared in front of the two of them and took the chess record away with a whoosh. Ji Yangyu couldn't help frowning and raised his head, only to see Zichun put one hand on his waist and pointed outside with the other, and said to Ji Yangyu irresistibly -
"Go, go to the mountains to pick some poria, hawthorn, and astragalus and come back."
"Didn't you just go there yesterday?"
Ji Yangyu reached out to reach for the chess record in Zichun's hand, but Zichun twisted his waist and hid it behind his back.
"Go if you are told! Why are there so many problems!"
"Then after I finish reading this..."
Seeing that Ji Yangyu wanted to bargain, Zichun frowned, crossed his hands, and raised his chest. He was about to have an attack. When Ji Yangyu saw this, he immediately swallowed what he had not finished, got up, walked to the stove, and carried the little boy on his back. The basket then walked out the door.
Seeing Ji Yang and Obediently going to collect herbs, Zichun relaxed his brows, turned around and walked towards the house.
"Fifth...Uncle Five..." Yingping called out to Zichun in a low voice.
Zichun turned around and looked at Yingping, his brows that had relaxed a little earlier seemed to be wrinkled again.
I have to say that it was a bit scary to be looked at by the fifth uncle like this. No wonder the third uncle would obediently do whatever the fifth uncle said.
"That...that..." Yingping still whispered and pointed at the chess record in Zichun's hand.
"Why do you need chess records again?" Zichun asked puzzledly.
"Research...research..."
Zichun picked up the chess book and looked at it vertically. After confirming that there was nothing worthy of study, he threw the chess book directly to Yingping, then shook his head and turned to leave.
Yingping held the chess record, as if he had obtained some supreme martial arts secret book, and was about to sit on the stone pier to 'study' it carefully. At this moment, he suddenly found Ye Changshan walking out of the house, so he put down the chess book again and called him to stop.
"Long gown——"
Ye Changshan walked over listlessly.
Yingping went to look for Ye Changshan last night, but found that he had gone to bed early to rest. Seeing that Ye Changshan still had no energy, he asked curiously: "What happened last night? He went to bed so early."
"Somewhat uncomfortable..."
"Are you feeling unwell? Are you hungry?" Yingping felt a little strange. Ye Changshan had always been in good health, and he had been practicing diligently in the past few years, so he rarely had any minor illnesses or pains, so he asked with concern: "Have you found the fifth uncle?"
Ye Changshan nodded in response.
When Yingping saw that Ye Changshan had already approached Zichun, he let go of his worries a little. In his opinion, since Uncle Fifth Master thought there was no problem, there must be nothing wrong.
"What did you do to me last night?"
Hearing Ye Changshan mention last night, Yingping's expression instantly became solemn. After he looked around to make sure there was no one around, he said cautiously: "Changshan, after yesterday, the identity of my biological father... I'm afraid eight Inseparable."
"You mean?"
Ye Changshan knew that this matter was not a trivial matter, so he cheered up his sluggish spirit a little, and then pointed to Chang'an City to the west.
Yingping nodded, then raised his right index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture.
Ye Changshan looked at Yingping, his eyes widening as if seeing something incredible, while Yingping narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Changshan with a profound expression. The two just stared at each other and were silent for a long time.
"Don't you have anything to say?
" Yingping felt that there was no gain in looking at each other like this, so he spoke first to break the silence, and then picked up the tea cup from the stone table.
Ye Changshan watched Yingping wink at him crazily. Suddenly, he knelt down and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the prince is a thousand years old! I will bow to you!"
"Cough-cough-cough-"
Seeing Ye Changshan doing this great gift, Yingping choked on his lungs with a sip of tea and almost lost his grip on the teacup in his hand.
"Ahem... get up! Hurry up... ahem... get up quickly! What do you think this sounds like..."
Yingping hurriedly put the tea cup back on the table and hurriedly helped Ye Changshan up. He complained dumbfoundedly: "Okay, why are you kneeling down?"
"You have to hug your thighs early! Isn't the prince here..."
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Yingping covered Ye Changshan's mouth so tightly that Ye Changshan was a little breathless. Ye Changshan blushed and patted Yingping's arm. Upon seeing this, Yingping said threateningly: "If you don't mention these two words again, I will let go."
Ye Changshan nodded vigorously, and when Yingping saw this, he let go of his hand.
"Why don't you let me tell you..." Ye Changshan asked in confusion after taking a breath.
"This is something that hasn't been confirmed yet, why are you making so much noise about it?"
"You know how to keep a low profile."
"It's not that I keep a low profile, it's that my biological father doesn't dare to keep a high profile."
Yingping always has a strange emotion towards this biological father who has been reluctant to show up for a long time. Since he was born, this man had abandoned their mother and daughter, and then suddenly appeared when he was twelve years old and sent himself to the first sect in the Central Plains. If this man had suddenly appeared in front of him and told him to let him join From a humble family, with Yingping's temperament, he would definitely scold this man and then reject him directly. However, this matter has been delayed for three years. No matter how angry and unwilling he was, he had already turned into curiosity. He was curious about this powerful man. What kind of person is the biological father? What will the first meeting between father and son be like?
"A hundred thousand taels of silver, Shi Ziyou agreed without blinking an eye... Who else in the world can have such a big face..."
Recalling every incident and every detail in Fenghao Academy yesterday, Yingping became more and more certain of his judgment.
"Then there's no way you can make him show up."
Yingping shook his head and said helplessly: "I am in the light, he is in the dark, I am in the open ground, he is in the high pavilion, he can see everything about me, but what about him? Even his appearance, I don’t even know his age, and these...are things I extremely dislike, and can even be said to be extremely afraid of."
"Afraid? What are you afraid of?"
"I can't see through him..." Yingping closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, as if he really had a headache from this feeling. He continued: "Perhaps it's because of my natural personality that I always want to see through people's hearts..."
It has to be said that Yingping is indeed quite keen in this area by nature, and he can get a rough idea of most people's hearts, just like Zhang Zhengru's worship and admiration for Wen Junchen, just like Wen Junchen's pursuit of the 'Tao' in his heart, Just like the special loyalty of the adoptive father to Yingping's biological mother...
"Then...what's so scary about this?"
"Isn't it scary that you can't always see through a person who has a great relationship with you? He may live deep in the palace, or he may be hidden in the government and the public. He may even spy on you several times. He knows everything about you. If you can grasp it, all your actions will be invisible, just like a fist hitting cotton. No matter how powerful you are, what's the use? And I have only felt this feeling in three people in my life. "
"Which three?"
"The first one is that Wang Shaojing."
Recalling the figure in yellow, the 'shame' that he first met three years ago will always appear in Yingping's mind.
"The second one is your biological father?"
"Um!"
"What about the third one?"
"The young man holding the fan at the entrance of the academy yesterday."
Ye Changshan was stunned. He originally thought that Yingping would talk about Seventh Senior Brother. Qilang has always been taciturn and withdrawn. After living with him for three years, I'm afraid he didn't say as much as he did with Yingping in one day. He didn't expect what Yingping said. The third person he met was not the Seventh Senior Brother, but the young master whom he met only once yesterday. Ye Changshan could not even remember the young master's appearance, but he did not expect that Yingping would care about him so much.
"What's so unique about him?"
"I can't tell. Although I can't see through Wang Shaojing, as long as I know that this person is standing on the opposite side of me, I just need to be on guard against him all the time. As for my biological father, although he has been hiding and hiding... I don't know if it's because I'm trapped in the current situation and I can't help it, or because of guilt for our mother and son, but he will show up eventually, so I just have to be patient and wait. And the young master yesterday... it's true that he approached us A chance encounter or a deliberate approach. If he approached intentionally...what was his purpose?"
"Could it be that you're overthinking it?"
"No, my intuition is not wrong. I can't smell the aura emanating from this person... First of all, this person is by no means an ordinary person. Secondly, he is deliberately concealing his information. Based on these two Yes, this person is worthy of scrutiny, but it’s a pity..."
"What a pity"
"It's a pity that the contact time was too short." Yingping looked down and thought forward for a moment, and then added: "Maybe even if the contact time was longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to see through him..."
"What about...Shichiro?"
"What Shichiro?"
"Can you see through him? What is he thinking?"
Yingping thought of that lonely and lonely figure and nodded.
"Then what is he...thinking about...or, what is he pursuing?"
"Obviously," Yingping said confidently, "Uncle Seventh didn't think about anything, didn't pursue anything, and his heart was just like a blank piece of paper."
Ye Changshan savored Yingping's words carefully, as if that was indeed what he said.
"But this is just one side of the paper."
"What's the meaning."
"Just like this chess record, it has two sides." Yingping flipped over the chess record in his hand. Both sides were presented in front of Ye Changshan. One side said "Bodhi has no tree" and the other side said "The mirror is not a platform."
"Then what's the other side...like."
"have no idea."
"Don't know? Then why do you think you've seen through everything?" Ye Changshan was a little disdainful.
"It's not that I don't know, it's just that I don't need to know anything, because this is his private matter. Although he is your senior brother and my senior uncle, these things have nothing to do with us, so I don't need to know it. , if one day in the future, one day like this, when Uncle Seventh Master needs us, we will naturally know."
"This..." Seeing what Yingping said was mysterious, Ye Changshan suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
"If you understand the squares and circles that Uncle Seventh draws every morning, maybe you can understand him." Yingping said mysteriously.
"Um..."
What Yingping said may be right. The seventh senior brother must have his reasons for sweeping the floor and "painting" for more than ten years. As for why he did this, maybe he really has to wait until the day Yingping said Only then can we know.
Looking at Ye Changshan's thoughtful look, Yingping suddenly smiled slyly, as if he had thought of something interesting.
"Long gown."
"Um?"
"Do you like that girl Yiyi?"
Ye Changshan was still thinking about the few words Yingcai said just now. When he heard these words, Ye Changshan's heart suddenly accelerated sharply, almost jumping out of his throat, and his face turned red for a moment.
"Ah...? Is...is it...impossible..."
"Hmph! Don't think I can't see that you pay special attention to Yiyi's extraordinary friendship. Do you think I'm blind?"
"me..."
The biggest secret deep in his heart was revealed by Ying Ping. Ye Changshan suddenly felt like he had been stripped naked and thrown on the street, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"Look at you! Look at you! You're so promising," Yingping said with disdain. Afterwards, he looked at the embarrassed Ye Changshan with interest and continued to joke: "This is not a bad thing, there is nothing shameful about it."
"But..."
"What the hell, Yiyi is my sister, and you are my best brother. Well... this is a good thing... a good thing..."
Ying Ping held his chin up and weighed the matter. It seemed that this 'kissing and kissing' thing was the best thing for him. But suddenly, Yingping grinned, as if he had discovered something particularly interesting.
"Hey, Changshan, if you are really together with Yiyi, wouldn't you be my brother-in-law? Then we are equals again!"
Yingping had always been a little unhappy over the years when Ye Changshan became his junior uncle. They started at the same time, so how could they become uncles and nephews when they were brothers? Yingping is often angry about this.
"Why don't you call her Master Aunt?"
"Master's aunt?"
"Master's uncle's wife is called Master's aunt. There's nothing wrong with that."
"You -" After Yingping came to his senses, he realized that he had already suffered the disadvantage of being dumb: "Well, you Ye Changshan, my sister has to get married or not, but I still have to give my nod, so you asked me to call you 'Master Aunt' first. "
After that, the two teenagers were fighting playfully, how could there be any trace of the seriousness of Cai Cai?
Young people don’t know what it feels like to be sad, but they say it’s a cool autumn. A few days later it will be the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I don't know if the person I care about can be reunited with me.
