Small wood

Amu looked at Gu Lin, as if he heard a big joke.

He knew that the only son of the Lin family was called Lin Mu, and he was also called Lin Mu, but he never doubted his identity, because he knew that he could not be, but now he told him that he was Lin Mu, and Lin Mu was him. Master Lin's only son, Lin Mu, was killed.

Amu's posture on the stool didn't change, and he didn't feel much. He always felt that this couldn't be true.

So he thought about it, and asked Lin Yi: "How do you determine that I am the only son of the Lin family?"

Ji Dong kept looking at him, with cautious eyes, and he said, "The glazed knife is a 15th birthday gift from the master to the master. At that time, the old emperor was dead, and the master was afraid that his time would not be long, so he entrusted someone to give the knife to the master."

Amu laughed: "It was obviously given by my father, how could it be given by Master Lin."

"The person who raised the master is just an Orion who used to be under the Master's hands. What's more, glass is difficult to make, and making knives is even more expensive. Ordinary Orion simply cannot afford it."

Amu began to feel a little depressed. According to Ji Dong, his father was not his real father.

He took out the knife that he carried around his waist, looked at the colored glass on it that he mistook for broken glass gems, his eyes began to mist, and he asked, "Is it this one?"

Ji Dong nodded: "Exactly."

Amu raised his hand and threw the knife to the ground, made a bang, and said in a hoarse voice, "This is not the knife my father gave me, you must have replaced it."

Lin Yi picked up the knife and put it in his hand respectfully: "Master, master...he's gone, this is the only thing left by master."

Amu didn't even look at the knife, he raised his hand and grabbed Gu Lin's sleeve, his eyes were red like a rabbit, his nose was wrinkled, he sniffed, almost crying: "Master, I want to see you mother……"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yi, who was standing aside, snorted coldly: "That woman is just a maidservant who took care of Gu Lin in the former palace, not the master's biological mother. If she didn't want to protect Gu Lin this time, the master would not follow Gu Lin." Suffering everywhere."

Amu only felt his ears buzzing, and he didn't understand what Ji Dong was talking about at all. He turned his head and looked at Ji Yi. From his eyes, Ji Yi's black robe seemed to have turned into something terrible. Come and pinch his neck and stab his abdomen, he feels uncomfortable all over.

"The battle between the royal family has caused the master to lose all his family. The person standing in front of you is none other than a member of the royal family..."

"Enough." Gu Lin suddenly said, his eyes were cold but cold, he stretched out his hand, gently covered Amu's ears, and brought him into his arms.

Amu's eyelashes were wet, his nose was red, and he held back his breath so he didn't shed tears, but the way he was holding back was more worrying than crying.

Ji Dong looked at A Mu's appearance, and his face changed: "Master..."

Amu buried his head in Gu Lin's arms, not wanting to listen to Lin Yi's words.

Lin Yi's hand holding the knife tightened, and he looked at Gu Lin, with the same coldness gradually appearing in his eyes.

For a while, the room was very quiet, except for the slight but rapid panting of Amu.

He thought of his father, his mother, and their house made of wood and full of flowers and plants.

A Niang likes flowers, all kinds of flowers, but she is very unfamiliar with the mountains and forests, and she will get lost if she goes far. He remembers that once when he was a child, his father went to the city to sell buckskins, and he came back late. I couldn't stay in the house and went out to wait for him, but when my father came back at night, my mother hadn't come back yet, so he and my father hurried out to find my mother.

It was still spring at that time, when the flowers were in full bloom, there was a sweet smell in the air, and the woods were lush and fresh. Dad went to the woods to find them, and he followed the creek to look for them. In the stream, in the dark night, her face rubbed against the moonlight, almost emitting a faint light. In her hand, she held a bunch of purple flowers that Amu had never seen before, and the butterfly's snow-white wings were flapping gently beside the flowers. At that time, A Niang is as beautiful as a painting.Then, Dad also came over, didn't blame A Niang, just smiled, hugged A Niang and kissed, then picked him up and let him ride on his neck, the three of them stepped on the cool stream After returning home, my father even stirred up the soil overnight and burned an earthen pot for my mother to put the flowers in.

He never thought about why A Niang knew so many flowers whose names her father couldn't name.

Dad taught him how to hunt, how to climb trees, and how to make Mommy happy.

A Niang made clothes for him, made him delicious food but forbade him to say it was delicious.

When Uncle Tong came here once, he asked Dad why he didn't let him go to the school. Dad was silent for a while before saying that it would be great for the three of them to live in this mountain forest for a lifetime.

At that time, Amu also felt that it didn't matter if he couldn't write or read. Anyway, he would spend his whole life with his father and mother in the mountains and forests.But he always felt that Father didn't let him go to school because he didn't let him have contact with outsiders.There were a few times when he was really overwhelmed, so my father took him around outside the city to look at the miscellaneous stalls. He was also very happy, and he said that he wanted to make such a beautiful one with fox fur for Auntie. skirt.

Later, Gu Lin came.

Auntie kept crying, kept crying.

Never been so sad.

Dad is gone too.

When the pursuers came, Gu Lin didn't want to escape, so A Niang put Gu Lin's bloody clothes on him. At that time, she was flustered and didn't understand, but after thinking about it, she figured it out. A Niang wanted him to be a target. So that Gu Lin could survive.

Even if he was hanged from a tree and broke his leg, he still had to ask him how Gu Lin was doing.

A Mu just felt that A Niang really owed Gu Lin a lot of kindness.

But now Ji Dong told him that his mother is not his mother, and his father is not his father.

Amu still didn't want to believe it, and said in a muffled voice: "That forest tree was only replaced when he was five years old, but I remember that I was in the mountains and forests since I was a child."

Lin Yi wanted to see Amu's face, but Gu Lin's sleeve blocked it. He lowered his voice and said, "Master was naughty when he was young. He fell from a tree. I probably don't remember it. Even if he didn't, You should have forgotten what happened before you were five years old."

Amu stopped talking, his eyes were so hot that he sniffed his nose, almost sobbing.He did fall from a tree once, and it was A Niang who told him about it.

"You might as well go out first." Qian Sheng listened for a long time, then spoke, and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder.

Ji Dong avoided, frowning and not looking at him: "I will be where the master is."

Qian Sheng chuckled: "You should be a loyal person, how could you know to offend your master?" He pouted towards Amu: "Poor thing, I must be crying, and I just said that I am ten Parents who have been with you for many years are not real parents, can you bear it?"

Lin Yi pursed his lips, with concern in his eyes, he stepped back half a step forward, and said after taking a deep look at Amu, "The subordinate will wait outside, if something happens, the master can just speak up." After finishing speaking, he backed away Go out and close the door for them.

The maidservants in the room had already been sent out by Qian Sheng, and the maidservant who went out to fetch water before came back, opened the door and came in, looking at the empty room, she wondered whether she should go in or not.

Qian Sheng told her to put the wooden basin on the ground and let her go out. He raised his hand and patted the back of Amu's head: "Your son won't need to wash your clothes anymore."

Amu didn't move, but hugged Gu Lin tightly again.Her hair was disheveled and she was sweating again, curled up like a ball.

Qian Sheng said again: "So what if it's not his own. After being raised by someone for more than ten years, could it be that it's all fake?"

Only then did Amu move.He let go of Gu Lin, just grabbed his sleeve, his nose was as red as a carrot, and his eyes were swollen, he looked at Qian Sheng, and suddenly asked: "If what he said is true, then what are you?" Did you know when? I'm Lin Mu's business."

Qian Sheng's smile was a little stiff, but in the next second he smiled wider, with a curve as smooth as a crescent moon, and he said: "You are extremely smart when you shouldn't be smart. I really don't know what to say about you."

Amu still looked at him.

"At the ruined temple." Qian Sheng said, "I waited for you in the ruined temple for nearly ten days. Before I saw you, I already knew that the person who was following Gu Lin was Lin Mu." He shook his head: "It's just I didn't expect the only child of the Lin family to be like this, illiterate and stupid, he just knows how to run after Gu Lin."

"If you stayed in Zheng's mansion at that time, the donkey standing outside wouldn't have to be so angry." He said, "It was only when he went to find you that he found out that you had already come to the North Kingdom, and he missed it by several days."

Amu just listened, and when Qian Sheng finished speaking, he nodded and went to look at Gu Lin: "What about the young master?" He asked, "When did the young master know about it?"

Gu Lin didn't speak, and stroked Amu's hair over and over again.

"When." Amu asked again.

Gu Lin sighed softly and said, "At first."

Amu choked, and coughed heavily, as if a red-hot iron had been placed in his throat, which scalded him to tears.

At the beginning, Gu Lin said it was the beginning.

Gu Lin knew from the very beginning that he was a child of the Lin family.

Amu didn't know what the emotions in his heart were, but he was uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that he wanted to close his eyes and bury himself in his arms and yell.But he didn't do anything, just sat there with his knees bent, his eyes fixed on Gu Lin.

Gu Lin touched his cheek and said softly, "I'm sorry."

Sorry?sorry for what?

Amu didn't understand what Gu Linzai was apologizing to.

Is it an apology for acknowledging his forest or for not telling him.

Amu can think of many reasons for not telling him, and there is nothing to apologize for.

But they have already arrived in the Northland, and Gu Lin didn't even think about telling him.

Amu was stunned, and suddenly stood up: "I...I'll go back first..."

Before they could speak, Amu rushed out and ran into Ji Dong who was waiting outside.

"master?"

Amu didn't even look up, and followed the way he came back to the place where he woke up before, pulled the quilt and buried himself, curled up on the ground.

Ji Dong followed him all the time, stopped a few steps away from him, and called softly, "Master?"

Amu's eyes were red, his brows were frowned, and his voice was mumbling: "Can you go out?"

Ji Dong was silent for a while, and then sat down beside A Mu.

"Maybe the master finds it hard to believe, but these are all true." He said: "The master was very naughty before he was five years old, but the master is only your son, and he spoils us very much. He found us from various places and compiled them into But he told us that there is only you as our master."

Amu covered his ears, not wanting to hear, but the sound still penetrated into his ears.

"We are all orphans without a home. It is the master who gave us a place to stay, and even taught us to read, write, martial arts and medicine." Lin Yi's voice was very low and flat, but it made people want to hear it unconsciously. Going down, he looked at Amu and continued: "We can see the master every year, from white and fat meatballs to talking, from toddler to naughty climbing trees. Master has known us since childhood, and even remembers us Everyone's name, but the master only likes to climb on his subordinates. Sometimes we are still practicing martial arts, and the master just sits on the subordinate's lap like a little adult, and refuses to get down even if he says nothing. Although the subordinates can only look at the brothers Practicing martial arts, but the subordinates are very happy, because the master only gets close to one of the subordinates."

While talking about these things, Lin Yi had a gentle expression on his face, and Amu forgot to cover his ears, and stared blankly: "You? How many people are there?"

Seeing that Amu responded to his words, Lin Yi hurriedly said: "We have 32 people in total, and each of us has many disciples and retail investors. Roughly speaking, there should be hundreds of people."

As he spoke, his expression gradually turned ugly again: "Master told us not to intervene when something happened to the Lin family. As long as it doesn't pass, the second prince's hand will not be able to reach the North Kingdom. We thought the master could handle it, but we didn't expect it to come. It was the news of the extermination of the family. When we found the news of the young master, we found that the young master had followed Gu Lin to the North Kingdom." There was a trace of coldness in his eyes, and he said to Amu: "Master, even though Gu Lin is the third prince, but He has no real power, and he was fostered in the Lin family since he was a child, and because of this, the master was exiled. The whole family of the Lin family was beheaded because of him. Now that he has found the master, it is like putting an amulet by his side. The old emperor's people see the only son of the Lin family by his side They defected to him one after another. Most of the merchants and relationships of the Lin family were also in the Northern Kingdom. Without a master, they all defected to Gu Lin. The subordinates let the master know their identity earlier, and also wanted the master to wake up earlier, so as not to be used again and again .”

Amu looked at him blankly, and said dryly: "Liar."

But Lin Yi said: "Subordinates will never deceive the master, Gu Lin is right outside the door, the master can ask him."

Amu hurriedly looked at the door, only to see a faint shadow standing quietly, the light and shadow of the swaying leaves cast on it.

He walked over, suddenly a little afraid to open the door.

He stood close to the door, put his hand on it, and called out: "My lord."

There was a soft hum from outside the door, it was Gu Lin's voice, slightly hoarse.

Amu's eyes were so sore that he rubbed them uncomfortably.

He suddenly thought of the question he wanted to ask before going to Gu Lin's house, and for some reason, he asked it first: "Did the young master sleep for a long time before waking up?"

"……kindness."

Amu smiled, and asked again: "Young Master, have you eaten well?"

"kindness."

"Is your wrist better?"

"kindness."

"How about your body, is it alright?"

"kindness."

Amu touched the intricate patterns carved in wood on the door frame, poked his finger in the hollow pattern, pointed at Gu Lin's shadow, and asked in a low voice: "Is everything he said true?"

The people outside the door were silent, and after a while, they gave a low acknowledgment.
