Small wood

The things of this big family are good. Amu packed a bag and went out with the slave in the mansion. Along the way, the slave would stare at his bag from time to time, and even sniffed. In fact, Amu was also panicked. With such a bag of food to eat, the smell of food has long been wafting out, and even two drops of oil stains dripped on the burden.

He had tried his best to choose those pastries, but looking at the oily roast goose and roast chicken, he couldn't help it. Thinking of the hungry and emaciated appearance of those children in the temple, he gritted his teeth and packed them into the bag.

They walked by the side door and did not go out through the gate.

After going out, there was a small sedan chair waiting there, and the little slave said, "Where is your master going, just tell the coachman."

The driver was a hunchbacked old man with big hands, holding a whip and smiling at him honestly.

Amu thanked Xiaonu, and after he left, he asked the coachman how to get to the ruined temple.

"Young master is going there, get in the car, I'll hurry up, I'll be there in less than an hour." He said, patting the horse's buttocks pulling the cart.

Amu hurriedly thanked him and got into the carriage.

This carriage is simpler than the sedan chair that took him and Gu Lin before, but it is also very elegant. There is also a small table in the sedan chair, carved with exquisite patterns. Amu carefully went up to touch it, curling his lips. It's so much better.

If he could have this skill and taught the children in the temple, they wouldn't have to beg.

Along the way, the coachman didn't say much, instead of yelling twice to drive the carriage, the horse ran fast, but there was no bump.

As he said, it will arrive in less than an hour. Amu jumped out of the car, glanced at the driver, and didn't know what to say.

The coachman looked simple and honest, but he was also clever, and said to Amu: "Young master, you are busy with your work, and I will pick you up in two hours?"

Amu smiled gratefully, thinking about Gu Lin in the mansion, and said to the coachman: "Old man, is an hour okay, I have to hurry back." Hurry back and supervise Gu Lin to take medicine.

If he didn't mention it, Gu Lin wouldn't remember to take the medicine either.

"Okay, I came back an hour later, and I happened to take the horse to the back mountain to graze. It's a rare good weather." The coachman looked at the weather, said with a smile, and yelled and went to the back mountain.

The dilapidated temple is still a dilapidated temple, but it has been tidied up. There is no longer garbage and burnt wood scum everywhere in front of the door. Going green and oily, it seems that just by looking at it, you can smell the fresh aroma of grass, and it is no longer the down-and-out look when you first came.

Amu's heart beat a little fast, he knew that he was thinking about the children in the temple, he and Gu Lin went to Zheng's mansion for a few days, and finally found the opportunity to come back.

As soon as he stepped into the temple, he bumped into a person. He was rushed back two steps, but the person in front of him did fall on his back with a bang, which sounded like a heavy fall.

Amu was startled, and hurriedly bent down to help him up: "I'm sorry, I was careless, are you okay?"

"Wood?" The person being supported suddenly spoke.

Amu was suspicious, and quickly looked up, but saw a familiar face, without the cheekbones that were so thin that they were almost sticking out, and his complexion looked better, and his injured eyes were many times better than the lifeless look before. , shiny.

Amu didn't recognize it all at once, after thinking about it, he immediately shouted happily: "Huanyan?"

That was the brother who was lying in the haystack with a broken leg when we first met, the little girl's happy brother.

As soon as she thought of Huanxin, the girl jumped out and threw herself into Amu's arms: "Brother Wood!"

Amu was also very happy, patted her heart, and took out the package in her hand.

"What's so delicious?!" Huanxin asked in surprise, she hurriedly opened the package, and a big fat roast goose almost rolled to the ground.She caught it in a hurry, stared at it blankly, with tears in her eyes, and smiled at Amu: "I thought it was some gold and silver jewelry, but it was a big roast goose."

Amu rubbed his head: "This is the only thing that can be taken out of Zheng's house. There are still a lot of pastries and a roast chicken under there. You should share it with the children."

Huanxin sighed, wiped his eyes, took the package and put it on the table dedicated to the Bodhisattva in the temple, and ran out to call someone.

"You and Mr. Gu, are you okay?" Huanyan asked, he was still holding a cane in his hand, maybe it was hit by Amu or maybe it was like this, he seemed to be limping, and he couldn't walk very neatly.

"Okay, Mr. Zheng is very kind to us. We have our own house to live in, and he also gave you the antidote." Amu hurriedly supported Huanyan and asked him to sit on the stool next to him. He looked at Huanyan's legs , asked: "When did the wood of the outriggers be removed? It's not enough time."

"I went to the doctor and said that the bone has grown well and can be removed, but it is a little crooked. For the time being, it is better to use the crutch." Huan Yan said, tapping his calf bone with the crutch.

Amu looked at him blankly: "Is it because the wood of my outriggers was not tied properly? How could it be crooked?"

Huan Yan hurriedly shook his head: "You are already well tied up, if it weren't for you, I would have lost my legs a long time ago."

A Muen said, and asked with some worry: "Seeing a doctor is expensive, is it enough?"

Huanyan looked at him strangely: "You and Huanxin made enough money from woodcarving outside to pay for my visit to the doctor. Two days ago, Gu Lin sent someone to send a lot of silver, don't you know? The children in the village have been able to eat for a long time, but they dare not reveal their wealth, so they go out to beg as usual, and in fact they will not go hungry anymore."

Amu shook his head: "Young master never told me..."

Have you already sent silver taels?Then I was still stealing things from the mansion and sending them over...

Amu blushed after thinking about it, and stopped talking.

It happened that Huanxin came back with the children, and they all threw themselves on Amu, calling for Brother Mu.

A Mu responded in a loud voice, the previous shame was gone long ago, seeing these children, they probably did not dare to buy roast goose and roast chicken outside, he hurriedly pointed to the table for Guanyin: "There is food on the table, go quickly .”

A child made a face at him, his little ears were red, and his dirty face was full of excitement and joy. He said, "I've already said I'm happy, thank you Brother Wood!"

After speaking, he ran towards the table. A big fat roast goose was cleaned up in a few strokes. A child wiped his hands, held up a big goose leg and said to Amu, "Brother Wood, eat!"

Amu hurriedly shook his head: "I have eaten, you can eat."

The child smiled and was not polite, and immediately took a bite. The other children watched the fattest meat being eaten, and rushed to bite it while drooling.

Amu smiled happily, and looked around the temple again: "Where's Qian Sheng?"

Huanxin handed a piece of pastry to Huanyan, licked her fingers and said, "I don't know, Brother Qian Sheng also left after you left, and he hasn't come back until now."

"Didn't he say where he was going?"

Shaking her head happily: "No." She added: "Actually, I think Brother Qian Sheng didn't stay in the ruined temple because of us, as if he had been waiting for you and Mr. Gu."

Amu pointed at himself in surprise: "Waiting for us?"

Huan Xin said: "Yeah, he wasn't with us all the time, and now that you're gone and he's gone, that's the only way to explain it."

Amu was at a loss. At that time, they didn't even know where they were going. How could someone be waiting for them in a specific place.

"By the way, Brother Wood." Huan Xin finished eating, wiped her hands, and asked curiously, "Mr. Gu, who is he?"

This is a shameful question for Amu, he followed Gu Lin for so long, he was afraid of poking Gu Lin's pain, so he never asked Gu Lin who he was or what his identity was.He shook his head truthfully and said, "I'm not very clear either."

Now Chang Huanxin was surprised: "You have been with Mr. Gu for so long, and you don't know who he is? Then you still call my son my son all day long, and you are so careful."

Amu's face became agitated by what she said, and he said embarrassedly: "I haven't been following the young master all the time. In fact, it's only been half a year. He is my benefactor, and I should treat him well." He said She took it for granted, but the tips of her ears were red.

"Shame, shame." The child, who was full, scratched his face with his fingers, and smiled at Amu: "Brother Mu, shame, that newly married lady is also blushing like this."

Amu took a step back, not knowing what to say, and now his neck was red with irritation.

"Maybe, I can guess something." Huan Xin said thoughtfully, holding her chin.

Amu looked at her.

Huanxin shook her head for a long time, her brows were wrinkled, and her small mouth curled up: "It should be...but the name doesn't match, maybe it's a pseudonym. But..."

"Okay, what on earth are you going to say?" Huan Yan was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore, and asked while poking the girl's head.

Huan Xin waved her hand: "Forget it, I guessed too. I have nothing to say. If I guess wrong, it would be a joke." She said, looking at Mu Mu again: "Brother Mu Mu, although he is a benefactor, how can there be any truth? I didn't even know the identity of my benefactor, so I just followed."

Amu lowered his head and didn't speak. He had never considered this question. Although he was curious, he suppressed his curiosity when he thought of Gu Lin's previous injuries.

"Don't be upset, I'm just talking. Come and see our new woodcarvings." Huanxin pulled the somewhat sullen Amu towards the woodcarvings piled up in the corner. Amu's thoughts were affected, and he gradually Putting aside the original question, I listened with great interest.

An hour passed quickly, and the coachman had already come to pick up Amu.

After reluctantly saying goodbye to the children in the temple, and agreeing to bring roast goose next time, Amu followed the coachman into the car and returned to Zheng's Mansion.

The sun is good today, the flowers and plants in spring have been smoked with a quiet fragrance, and the young branches are sprouting small buds, which are round and cute. When we returned to the yard, Gu Lin was practicing his sword.

The poison suppressed in the body is gradually reducing, and Gu Lin's body is also getting better gradually, and he can even practice the previous kung fu.

I've never seen Gu Lin hold a sword before, but he took it as a matter of course, his body is like a wild goose, his body is as light as a cloud, and he is as beautiful as a spring.

He was still dressed in coarse white clothes, the blade of the sword glowed with silver light, like crystal clear glass under the sun, his movements and posture were so good that even Amu couldn't open his eyes.

Gu Lin used to be such a high-spirited person.

He was just practicing his sword, just seeing Du Amu's heart pounding.

He stood far away, so Gu Lin didn't notice him.He squatted under a tall tree outside the courtyard and watched secretly, attracted by the sword and the person holding it.

It seemed that the practice was over, Gu Lin put away the sword behind his back, there was a slight sweat on his forehead, and his eyes were as bright as the sword in his hand.He turned back to the house, but stopped when he was about to enter the door, and looked outside, as if he was waiting for someone.

That direction is the place where Amu went out just now, and it is also the place where Amu is squatting at this time.

With just one glance, Gu Lin saw him, and stood there quietly waiting.

Amu quickly ran over and stood in front of Gu Lin: "My lord..."

Gu Lin raised his hand, grabbed a leaf from Amu's head, and twirled it between his fingertips.
