Small wood

But after waiting for a while, the two of them didn't say a word, one was kneeling and the other was standing, and Amu could only stare at the side. He spontaneously felt that it was not good to keep staring at the kneeling old man, so he turned around. The line of sight, happened to see the small smoke stove on the window sill that looked like a mud jar, and this was the one I saw outside the house just now. The smoke stove is not very beautiful, but it has a simple and noble taste, which is the same as this simple house. .

Amu looked and looked, just when he thought the two of them would be quiet until night, Gu Lin spoke first.

Gu Lin usually doesn't like to talk, so he doesn't use his voice very much, he suddenly spoke hoarsely: "What is this for?" He asked, the emotion in his voice was very light.

The old man sighed and shook his head, raised his hands and clasped his fists: "The old minister is useless, he failed to protect the Lin family, the young master's life and death are at stake when he is outside, but the old minister can only bring the young master in like a thief, and now even kneeling here to the west will not be able to offset the sin."

His words carried the character of a courtier, but his actions felt like a quack.

When the old man was talking, Gu Lin kept looking at him, and when he talked about the Lin family, his face showed some emotion, that kind of emotion was not something that Amu could understand, so he just felt that Gu Lin was sad.He looked at Gu Lin worriedly, then at the old man, speculating about their relationship.

"Get up." Gu Lin said.

The old man bowed deeply, then straightened his back and stood up, knelt for a long time, but he didn't stagger like an old man, which shows that his body is in good shape.

"Who is this young master?" The old head asked kindly as if he had just seen Amu.

Amu shook his head hurriedly. He has grown up so much, and he has never been treated so politely by an old man. He hurriedly said: "I am not a young man, my name is Amu."

But the old man was thoughtful, and asked again: "Is the young master's surname Lin?"

A Mu was taken aback. He was called Mu Mu Mu since he was a child, and he almost forgot his surname, but his surname is indeed Lin, and he had quarreled with his father because of his name. Lin is Shuang Mu, and he is also called Mu. Look His name, like three pieces of wood, is not pretty at all.

He nodded, and asked the old man curiously: "How did the old man know my surname?"

However, the old man gave him a deep respect: "The Lin family has shown great kindness to my young master, and the only ones who can follow you are the Lin family."

Amu didn't dare to accept the gift, so he hurriedly helped him up: "Get up quickly, the old man, the Lin family you mentioned should not be my Lin family. I grew up in the mountains and forests with my parents, and this is the first time I saw Mr. Gu. So I really can't accept your gift."

The old man smiled, "Young master, don't be modest."

Where did Amu be humble with him, but he was stupid and knew that he couldn't explain clearly, so he went to see Gu Lin.

Gu Lin didn't speak, as if he acquiesced to what the old man said.

The old man stroked his goatee, and went to the table by the wall to get an exquisite small box, inside which were neatly stacked nine maroon pills, he put the box in Gu Lin's hand, and said : "Young master only cares about recuperating, the next thing, the veteran will handle it properly, and will not miss it again."

Gu Lin looked at the pill, closed the box, and nodded lightly.

Amu stared at the box, a little worried why Gu Lin didn't want to take it, he hurriedly asked the old man: "Old man, can this pill cure Mr. Gu's body, one pill a day, or should I take it right away?"

The old man smiled and looked at the kindness in A Lin's eyes, he said: "Young Master is not poisoned, it's just that the heavy medicine suppresses the inner strength for too long, so you will have the pain of stagnation, this pill is not a magic medicine , just dissolve the medicinal property in the body quickly, just two pills a day."

Amu nodded, staring at the box in Gu Lin's hand, heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it wasn't what he thought, he was poisoned to death, but it could be solved with these few small pills.

The old man said again: "During this period of time, I can only wrong you to live in this wooden house. If you have any orders, you can call the housekeeper." After finishing speaking, he asked Amu again: "Young master, the old minister has prepared a separate one for you." Where to stay, please come with the old minister."

"No need." Gu Lin said suddenly, "He lives with me."

The old man was a little surprised, but quickly realized that he hurriedly said hello and left.

Amu's face was a little flushed, and he said to Gu Lin: "Since the young master is fine, I can go back to the ruined temple."

Gu Lin glanced at him, frowning slightly.

Amu shrank his neck, feeling that he had said something wrong.

"The food here is good. If you stay here, you can bring food for the children in the temple." Gu Lin turned the box in his hand and said softly.

Having been with him for so long, I haven't seen him talk so much yet, Amu listened blankly, his face was still red, and felt that Gu Lin was trying to trick him into keeping him.But the meaning in the obedient words is that he only cares about the children in the temple.

Amu shook his head, and whispered to Gu Lin, "Can the things here be taken out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone knock on the door.

Amu hurried up and opened the door.

That was the person who had just led the way, holding a long and wide wooden tray in his hand, and said respectfully to him: "My lord wants to eat now?"

Amu looked at the food on the plate, his eyes straightened, he swallowed quietly twice, and hurriedly let the door go: "Yes, yes." He also stuttered, seeming a little impatient.

This person should be the housekeeper that the old man just mentioned. He was very polite. He put down the plate respectfully, said he would come to pick up the plate in half an hour, and then left. Before leaving, he closed the door.

Amu held it in for a long time, and watched the butler leave, then hurriedly sat down on the stool, drooling while looking at the tray.

Gu Lin also came over, sat down beside him, and adjusted the chopsticks for him.

Amu was not too polite, he stuffed a big chopsticks into his mouth, his little face was bulging after eating, and the corners of his mouth were glistening with oil, he said to Gu Lin, "Mr. Gu, these things are good. Eat, it's much more delicious than what A Niang makes!" He still had something in his mouth, and he spoke vaguely, like a puppy purring.

Looking at his appearance, Gu Lin suddenly stretched out his hand and gently pinched his face, a grain of rice appeared on his fingertips.

Amu stared, realizing that he ate so fast that his face was stained.He hurriedly raised his hand and wiped his mouth vigorously, then looked at Gu Lin's fingertips, stretched his neck and bit Gu Lin's fingers in a panic, took the grain of rice back, and ate it with his face buried in his mouth When eating, the tips of the ears are red like rabbit eyes.

Gu Lin paused, looked at his fingers, then looked at A Mu, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, but A Mu lowered his head and didn't see it, otherwise he would make a fuss again, Gu Lin actually smiled up.

But after a while, Amu ate all the food, licked his red lips and sighed contentedly. He stayed in the ruined temple and gnawed on the buns all day long, which made him feel uncomfortable when he saw the buns. Now, after eating so many things, It made his belly round.

He leaned on the back of the chair, just in time to see Gu Lin put down his chopsticks, he thought about it, and let out a terrible oops.

Gu Lin looked at him.

"I ate too much, and I have nothing to take back to the children in the temple." He stroked his bulging belly, his eyes widened, and he frowned in annoyance.

Gu Linxu was in a good mood, and instead of not answering as usual, he said to him: "Just wait for the housekeeper to come and ask him for a share."

Amu smiled happily, but felt that he just came to this mansion, is it really okay to be so rude?

After thinking about it, I didn't think about it anymore, anyway, Mr. Gu said so.

He arranged the somewhat messy dishes, and said to Gu Lin: "Young Master Gu, the old man gave you the medicine, take it quickly."

Gu Lin nodded, took out one pill, and swallowed it with water.

Amu watched nervously from the side. The heroes in the book often vomited blood after taking the antidote, or they just laughed maniacally twice to express the joy after the antidote. I don’t know if the pill will have this effect.However, nothing major happened to Gu Lin, he closed his eyes, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his breathing became a little short, other than that, Gu Lin was still Gu Lin.

Amu was biting his chopsticks at the side, looking at Gu Lin who rarely had a trace of blood on his face with relish.

The door was knocked again. It should be the butler who came to pick up the leftover dishes. It turned out that half an hour had passed.

Hearing the voice, Gu Lin opened his eyes, there was a silver light in his eyes, and the brows became clearer. Although he still had such an emotionless face, his whole feeling was different.

What was different, Amu couldn't tell, he bit his chopsticks and ignored the sound of the butler coming in, just staring at Gu Lin.

"Young master?" the butler suddenly said.

Amu gave a sound, and looked up at him.

With a smile on his face, the housekeeper said softly, "These chopsticks, do you want the old slave to clean them?"

Amu blinked blankly, and it took a while to realize what the butler was saying, and hurriedly returned the chopsticks that had been bitten by many teeth marks, her face flushed.

The butler is also kind, although he is smiling, but he doesn't mean to laugh at him at all. Instead, he has the feeling that the elders look at the younger generation. He took the chopsticks away from him, bowed to Gu Lin and was about to leave, but Amu pulled his sleeves .

"Uncle Housekeeper..." Amu was still a little shy, feeling embarrassed for what he was about to say: "I'm not full, can I have another one?"

He was going to take it to the children in the temple, but he couldn't tell people directly that it was going to be stolen outside, so he could only say that he ate it himself.

The housekeeper was a little surprised. He glanced at the clean bowl on the tray, then looked at Amu's thin body, and said with a smile, "It's because the old slave didn't prepare well, so I'll go down and prepare another."
