When the boss becomes an attackable character

right here?

Lin Yan supported the leader, turned around the screen wall, and walked into this unremarkable small courtyard. The house was very old, with moss growing on the corners of the walls, and there was a luxuriant ginkgo tree in the center of the courtyard.

A well-dressed woman with her hair tied behind her head was sweeping the floor very neatly.From the corner of the eye, she saw them walking in. She put down the broom, came forward, and gave a blessing: "The two are the uncle and the second master, right? Your two friends said that you are coming today, and I have already cleaned up the room. " And he introduced himself, "You can call me Mrs. Yu, I come here to clean and cook every day." Shen Jinglan nodded: "You are busy with your work, we will go around by ourselves."

There is a main house surrounding the courtyard, and there are side rooms on the left and right sides. They walked into the left side room first.

"It's enough for me to do those chores, why call an outsider?" Lin Yan said.

Shen Jinglan shook her head: "Xiaoyan, I just want you to accompany me to recuperate here, not to serve me."

Lin Yan felt helpless, and asked again: "Then what is the uncle and second master she is talking about?"

"When I sent people to buy this house and hired helpers, the news spread to the outside world was that the two brothers who were going to live here were two brothers, and I was your eldest brother." Shen Jinglan smiled slightly and squinted at him, "Don't you think Heard her call Master, Madam?"

Lin Yan was so stared at by him that he turned his head away, speechless.

Shen Jinglan has changed the subject and said: "Look at what is still missing in the room, and go out to buy it later."

"Well, I'm watching." Needless to say, Lin Yan was already paying attention.

He promised the leader that he would put aside all affairs during this month, and he would accompany the leader wherever he went, but he didn't expect the leader's wish, but just lived in the market and lived a normal month.

The leader went up to the mountains to practice Taoism when he was young, and he has never been in the world. Maybe he wants to experience how mortals live.

This house was also decided by the leader. It seems that there were still people living there before, but they were resettled by the leader.The leader never let him intervene in these matters, they were all arranged by himself.

The furniture in the room was old, dull and not sturdy.All the quilts were replaced with brand new ones, the window paper seemed to have been pasted again, and the floor was cleaned very clean.

Shen Jinglan looked at a wall and said: "That wall is too empty, I want to hang a painting of flowers and birds."

They also looked at the remaining houses one by one, and Shen Jinglan still had many opinions.

A small copper stove should be added next to a certain canopy bed, and a can of sugar melons should be placed on top of the peach wood cabinet. After walking outside the house, he said that the yard is a bit more open, and a large vat should be placed under the ginkgo tree. Several golden and red koi.

He even said that it is winter now, and there are strings of pickled fish and bacon hanging under the eaves of other people's houses. We don't have any, so we have to add them.

The original residents here probably pickled some, and took them away when they moved.

"Xiao Yan, what are you laughing at?" Shen Jinglan looked at him suddenly and said.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "The leader is really in a good mood."

He did take a closer look at the furnishings in the house, and found that the utensils needed for daily life were all in place, but he didn't expect that the leader paid attention to these things.

It seems that I really want to live here for a long time, and I will live for a long time like ordinary people.

Aunt Yu had already gone to work in the kitchen, Lin Yan said: "I'll tell her about the cured meat." He walked in and glanced at the bottles and jars of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar on the stove, it was obvious that they had just been replaced He picked up a new one and nodded secretly.

He gave Aunt Yu some money and told her to buy some cured meat and salted fish.

Aunt Yu took the money and asked in a low voice: "Second Master, I think that the uncle seems to be in poor health, what should I avoid?"

"No need." Lin Yan thought that she had intentions, and said, "You should do it lightly."

"Okay!" Aunt Yu replied, expressing her understanding.

After Mrs. Yu was busy with dinner, they went out to buy in a nearby market.

Lin Yan supported the leader, wandered left and right in the noisy market, and finally bought two framed calligraphy and paintings, a clay pot of sugar, and a catty of candied melons.

They restrained their breath and completely pretended to be ordinary people. Even the Qiankun bag was turned into a sack bag for ordinary people with a cover-up. In the hand, it is not heavy anyway.

As for the fish tank, they also took a fancy to a big blue-glazed tank that couldn't be hugged by one person, and it seemed to be quite heavy.Although Lin Yan could carry it with one hand, it was a bit eye-catching, so they made an agreement with the shopkeeper, paid a deposit, and asked the shopkeeper to send someone to deliver it later.

When they got home, the food was ready, and after eating, they put all the things they bought where they should be placed.

After putting the clay pot full of candied melons on the top of the cabinet, Shen Jinglan sat down on the edge of the bed in this room.

He was a little tired, so after a brief grooming, he went to bed and rested.

"I'll sleep here from now on. Which one do you want?"

He looked at Lin Yan with deep eyes.

"Then I'll sleep next door. If the leader needs anything, just call me." Lin Yan said.

Shen Jinglan moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but stopped talking.

At night, Lin Yan heard the intermittent coughing from the next door, it finally stopped after a long time, presumably fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Lin Yan came back from the market.

He heard that there is a shop here that sells rice cakes that are sold early, and they are sold out as soon as they come out of the pan. You have to go early every day to buy them.According to his understanding of the leader, the leader should like to eat.

Walking into the yard, he saw the leader immediately.The leader actually woke up very early today. While talking to Sister Yu, he held on to the straw rope with both hands and lifted up the wooden bucket filled with water from the well for her.Aunt Yu hurriedly went to pick up the straw rope in his hand, as if she was too embarrassed to ask his "patient" to help.

"Big Brother, let me go." Lin Yan was startled, and hurried forward.

He almost said the word "leader".

Shen Jinglan smiled at him in a blink of an eye when he heard the sound, his hands alternated, and with the sound of water, the heavy bucket had been lifted out of the well.

When it was time to eat breakfast, Shen Jinglan ate the hot tea made by Mrs. Yu, ate rice cakes, and tasted a few side dishes, and suddenly said: "I chatted with her, so I also fought with her grandfather fight." He smiled happily, and took another bite of the rice cake, "But he couldn't beat me, and then he ran home crying to find his parents."

It was only the two of them eating, and Mrs. Yu had already retired.

What?Lin Yan couldn't help saying: "According to what the leader said, here is..."

Shen Jinglan said: "Yes, this is my ancestral home, where I lived when I was young."

He glanced around the hall: "Many places have changed, but you can still vaguely see the shadow of the past." There was a bit of emotion in his voice.

Lin Yan couldn't help following his voice, and looked at the house again.Presumably, it was the old house where a branch of the Shen family lived in order to avoid disaster. As for the original family, it was wiped out overnight by Tang Xuanzhu's master.

He had already noticed this, so many things made sense.

Lin Yan thought for a while and asked again: "The koi in the fish tank under the tree must have been raised by the leader in his childhood, right?"

Shen Jinglan corrected him with a smile: "Don't call him the leader, call him big brother."

"...Brother." Lin Yan could only change his words.

"Well," Shen Jinglan nodded, his bright eyes were full of interest, "When I was a child, there was such a big tank at home, with five red carp in it." It's terrible, I bet with others, he said that this koi carp is bright in color, and it doesn't look like it can be eaten, but I said why can't I eat it, let me show you, I deserve it if I eat it to death, so I secretly picked it up One, the little girl at the opposite door disemboweled me and removed the scales, and I lit a fire and roasted it myself. After eating it, it was all right, and I won a bag of fish skin peanuts."

Lin Yan couldn't help laughing and sighing: "Teacher... Big brother was really naughty at that time. I don't know how that koi tastes like, but does the leader want to pick up some of the koi from today's tank and taste the old days? "

"Forget it, it's not tasty, it's not tasty at all." Shen Jinglan said, "Let them stay in the fish tank."

"Is that can of candied melons your favorite childhood food?"

Shen Jinglan said: "It's a bit sticky. In fact, I don't like food that much. There are allusions in it. At that time, I was as skinny as a monkey, and no one could trouble me. The children on this street all regarded me as the boss. He sighed softly, "But it's useless, I still have to be beaten when I get home. My father beat me hard, and my mother couldn't bear to let me go, so she would grab a few sugar melons from the jar on the top of the cabinet and stuff them quietly. In my hand."

"However, although my father is famous for beating me every time, I am often unconvinced," Shen Jinglan said, "At that time, I thought, if I have children in the future, I will never beat him , just reason with him properly."

"It must be very happy to be your descendant." Lin Yan said.

When he said this, Xu Xiaofei's face appeared in his heart.

On this day, Shen Jinglan went to take a nap, Lin Yan walked under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard alone, and looked down at the carp swimming in the clear water in the green glaze tank.

After inquiring about it, they bought it at a time-honored store that has been passed down for generations. Maybe one of the five koi in the tank was eaten by the leader...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile.He seemed to see the reflection of the young Shen Jinglan on the clear water.

He has short hair, short hair, and a fair face, with a lively and cheerful smile, and a vigorous vitality in his body.

Since they put away their affairs to recuperate, they would not ask anything after staying here, and when they had nothing to do, they would just play chess and read books.Sometimes when I go out for a stroll, I tell Aunt Yu not to cook for the next meal, and they go to the famous restaurants in the city to try something new.

Lin Yan noticed that Shen Jinglan's energy seemed to be getting worse and worse, and the time of coughing at night gradually increased. It seems that it won't be long before the leader has to retreat again.

On this day, Shen Jinglan said that he wanted to go for a walk along the lake.

Lin Yan naturally accompanied him.Walking halfway, the tourists gradually became scarce, and only the two of them were left.What I can see is only weeping willows with thin branches, reflected in the sparkling lake.Lin Yan felt that the body supported by him was getting heavier and heavier. He knew that the leader was tired and wanted to find a place for him to sit down and rest. He was about to speak when he heard Shen Jinglan say: "I can't walk anymore."

He withdrew the arm that Lin Yan was supporting, and wrapped his arms around his waist from behind, and said in a low voice: "Lean on me for a while." He also put his head on Lin Yan's shoulder.

"Okay." Lin Yan replied without moving.The teacher's breathing was so close to his neck, he could clearly feel it...was very shallow and rapid, and this body was also weak and weak, perhaps trembling slightly due to illness.The hands that encircled his body did not let him go.

like in that fantasy...

Behind Shen Jinglan, his mind drifted away in an instant.

This time it was no longer an illusion, he had long wanted to hold Lin Yan in his arms like today.

He was originally a very frank and straightforward person, but he was unable to say a word.One is that he doesn't know if Lin Yan only respects and loves him as a teacher, and nothing else; the other is that he won't live for five years at most.If Lin Yan also had the same feelings for him, this feeling would only turn into a burden, a dead person, and a shackle to the living... I remembered Xu Xiaofei.If he and Lin Yan fall in love, will Lin Yan never let him go?

After all, I dare not say it, and I can't say it.

In the first half of his life, he lived a flamboyant life and never wronged himself. Perhaps his friends, knowing that he was doomed to a short life, pampered him extraordinarily; but in the second half of his life, he learned the word "forbearance" and endured endless illnesses Tortured, endured feelings for the person in front of him.

Shen Jinglan suddenly said softly: "This place has a nice view, isn't it?"

The other party trembled, and it took him a long time to respond: "Yes...the scenery here is pretty good."

The bleak lake water in early spring spread out in front of them, and the mountains in the distance were black in different shades.They just watched the lake and mountains quietly.

After a while, Shen Jinglan slowly let go of his hand and straightened up: "I have regained some strength, let's go."

Lin Yan held his arm again, and they walked along the way, chatting occasionally, as if nothing happened.

After returning from the lake, Shen Jinglan fell asleep and coughed non-stop. He felt suddenly cold and hot, and gradually became dazed.

In the dimness, the man seemed to push the door and walked in, carefully wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, fed him some warm medicinal juice, scrubbed his body covered in cold sweat, and changed his underwear again .

When he woke up the next day, Lin Yan was still guarding beside his bed, looking at him with concern. He hadn't slept all night, and there was not much haggard look on his face.

Shen Jinglan couldn't get up, so she had to lie down and said, "Clean up and go back to Youzhou tomorrow. I miss the dim sum made by Chef Yao."

Lin Yan smiled and said: "I've been talking about it for so long, the leader wants to go back."

Both of them tacitly didn't mention it. Originally, Shen Jinglan estimated that he could last for a month before needing to retreat, but now he can't support anymore, which is a sign of worsening illness.

A scent wafted from the outside, Lin Yan said: "Sister Yu's breakfast is ready, the leader must be hungry too, I asked her to make some porridge and side dishes, I'll bring them."

He got up to leave, but Shen Jinglan grabbed his hand.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have a few words to say to you."

He looked around, and the room seemed to be the same as before, and said: "This wing room is where I slept when I was a child. Dad always likes to preach, and whenever he lectures, I will slip away for some reason, and mother also wants to save me, so I always take advantage of this time Tell me to help her with work. But once I climbed a tree and broke my leg, I could only lie on the bed every day, and if Dad wanted to nag me, I couldn’t run, and Mom couldn’t save me.”

Just like what he is doing now, enduring illness and being bedridden.

"My father pointed to the beams of the house and said that there are ancestors in the house. What mistakes did I make or what mischief did I make? The eyes of the ancestors are all watching. He said it so vividly that it almost scared me. Later, when I went to practice Taoism, I realized that all the dead people had been reincarnated and would not stare at me. But, let’s say the ancestor spirits are still there, I just want them to take another look when I come back this time.”

When he was young, his parents died of the epidemic when they were away from home, and he happened to stay at his grandmother's house to escape the disaster, and was later sent to the Broken Star Sect.When he was a teenager, he had just learned the Tao, and he took the opportunity of going down the mountain to come back here, and wanted to buy back the house that had changed hands.

But he stopped outside the courtyard and saw that the family lived happily and happily, and he bought it for only a few days a year, and left quietly.

After many years, he finally returned here.

"If there really are ancestor spirits, I'm afraid they are not too satisfied with me. My family deliberately forked out a branch for the continuation of the Shen family's bloodline and for the succession of the family. ?" Shen Jinglan smiled, "Although the blood of the Shen family is cut off here, but..."

He stared at Lin Yan, and the hand that was holding him gradually tightened: "I brought you here, just to let them know that I have no offspring, and you are the continuation of everything I have. I leave it all to you. Of course, there is nothing else. The most valuable thing is the practice experience and secret exercises. I used to teach you hand in hand. Over the years, you and I have gathered less and separated more, and you have spent more time in practice than before. Less, so when I go back, I will start writing, and my lifelong insights will stay in it."

"Master..." Lin Yan looked down at Shen Jinglan's hand holding him.

He is not a man of few words, but now he can't say a word.

Shen Jinglan also looked at him for a long time, finally smiled and let go of his hand: "Go, I'm a little hungry."

In fact, there was nothing to clean up at home, so I explained a few words to Mrs. Yu, and the next day, they set off for Youzhou.

Linyan didn't want the leader to be too tired, so he ordered a deer and Shu chariot to be sent to the sect. Two deer and Shu resembling giant horses, wearing tiger stripes and four hooves stepping on thunder and fire, were set on the shaft of the chariot. With the blessing of the Fa, you will not feel bumpy at all when you are in it.

Traveling day and night, galloping thousands of miles, three days later, he returned to the Youzhou General Altar after a year's absence.
