The mountain ghost blows out the lights

The space in the small building is better than it looks.

Although the things are placed in a mess, the visual effect is narrow and cramped, but if you look closely at its structure, you will find that every part is used and there is no waste.

"I don't usually come here, and I remember where I shouldn't go, so I didn't think about cleaning up." Shen Feishan reminded again, "—that... Yan... Yan... the second stick sticking out from your left Don't step on that floor."

Well, it turns out that he hasn't remembered Yan Jinping's name yet.

Yan Jinping was completely used to it. He carefully avoided the sticky piece of wood and asked, "What's under there? Another invention?"

"What?" Shen Feishan tilted his head, "Of course not, that's where I hid my private money."

Yan Jinping: "..."

There are people who directly tell people where they hide their private money!

Blame him, and be curious without a long memory.Boss Yan reflected on himself blankly.

Shen Lianxing followed suit: "You don't have a wife, what kind of private money are you hiding?"

Shen Feishan lived in this place all his life, studying his rags all day long, eating enough for one person and not hungry for the whole family, no one would want to marry him.

Still hiding money, is it useful?

"It's up to you." Shen Feishan was not polite to him, and snorted out of his beard, "I just want to put it there, I feel comfortable."

Shen Lianxing shrugged.

The old man led the two of them up two more floors, overcame countless difficulties and obstacles, finally bypassed a box of sticky artificial stumps, and finally pushed open a door.

Although the space behind the door was also small, it was arranged more normally, without those messy decorations. There was a bed, tables and chairs, and it finally looked like an ordinary room.

It's just that there is another mask hanging on the wall facing the door. It looks like a young man, without eyes, and the face is only half carved, and the remaining half is made of original color wood, like a semi-finished product.

"Go ahead."

There were only two chairs in the room, and Shen Feishan sat on the bed by himself, stroked his beard and said, "You came to see me specially, not to buy anything, what's the matter?"

The relationship between him and Shen Lianxing is indeed good, but Shen Lianxing is also busy on weekdays, and the two of them are far away from each other, which is far from the kind of relationship where you can chat casually.

Shen Lianxing omitted the unnecessary greetings, and said concisely: "Shen Yuansi has gone."

Shen Feishan was obviously stunned for a moment, and put down his hands: "...Patriarch? Dead?"

"Yes." Shen Lianxing nodded, "Passed away."

"Oh……"

Half of Shen Feishan's face was hidden in his beard, and he couldn't see the expression clearly. It took him a long time to say: "It's also...it's about time."

He and Shen Yuansi are of the same generation, about the same age, but Shen Yuansi is a little weaker, probably due to working hard for such a big family all these years, the root cause of his illness.

He had heard that he was ill a long time ago, but when he heard the news of his death, Shen Feishan felt a little settled.

At their age, life and death are no longer so rare.

Shen Feishan left the Shen family long ago, before Shen Yuansi became the head of the family.He was not familiar with Shen Yuan, so he digested the matter after a while, and said to Shen Lianxing, "Where is the successor? Who is it, you?"

It must be Shen Lianxing. Apart from him, no one in the younger generation is promising.

"Accordingly, it should be me." Shen Lianxing smiled wryly, and raised his arms to show him, "Otherwise I wouldn't be like this."

His prosthetic limbs cost him a lot of painstaking efforts. They are both exquisite and practical. Although they are not big items, they have been put into a lot of thought. It is not an exaggeration to call them a work of art.

A gleaming piece of incriminating evidence.

Shen Feishan glanced at Shen Lianxing's arm with envy and jealousy.

The arm is well done, and it has been improved by Shen Lianxing recently. It is a height that Shen Feishan can't reach in a lifetime of research. He used to be greedy for this thing.

It's a pity that Shen Lianxing never sold it to him.

Shen Feishan: "No."

Shen Lianxing said again: "The reason I came to see you today is... You also know that being a writer mainly passes the test of previous generations."

If it fails, it will lose the qualifications of the heir, and let the remaining people compete for that position.

Shen Feishan took a lot of effort to tear his gaze away from his arm, nodded absently and said, "Well... what did Shen Yuansi ask you to do?"

Shen Lianxing: "Make a magpie."

Shen Feishan: "Um...huh?"

With a sudden jolt, he straightened his stooped waist, his eyes widened, and he stared at Shen Lianxing: "What did you just say?"

"Shen Yuansi asked me to make a flying magpie." Shen Lianxing had anticipated his reaction, and repeated it again, "If you can't make it, it will be considered a failure of the test...the time limit is one year."

He looked at Shen Feishan quietly, and observed the old man's expression through his shaggy beard: "That's why I came to you."

As for the part of Tianding Mountain, it has nothing to do with him, and there is no need to elaborate on it now.

Shen Feishan was stunned, opened his mouth wide, and questioned: "Do you have a grudge against Shen Yuansi?"

This is not just making things difficult, why is this?

"It shouldn't have been." Shen Lianxing sighed, "But I'm not sure now either."

He also wondered if he didn't know when he offended Shen Yuansi and asked him to come up with such a silly question to make things difficult for him.

——After all, he is still his grandfather, so it shouldn't happen.

"Making a magpie?" Shen Feishan still couldn't believe it. He stood up from the bed, stomped on the floor, walked around, and said, "What the hell is he thinking? That thing can be made by humans Are you not his chosen successor? That is not an ordinary institution, it is not a test at all, what if——if something goes wrong with you, what should you do?"

"Did he want to kill you!"

After all, the old man was old, no matter how energetic he looked, his physical condition was not as good as before. He just said a few words excitedly, but he couldn't breathe and coughed twice.

Yan Jinping: "Hey, don't worry..."

He hasn't been in contact with mortals for a long time, let alone Shen Feishan is still so old. When he saw the old man coughing, he stood up in a hurry, gestured nervously twice, and didn't grasp well for fear of breaking him. There was no way to start, and it was rare to look at Shen Lianxing blankly, with the words "save" in the left eye and "life" in the right eye.

Shen Lianxing: "Cough..."

Although it was inappropriate, he still tilted his head and smiled, walked to Shen Feishan's side, and stretched out his hand to comfort him.

"Anyway, this is unreliable." Shen Feishan coughed, while still staring at Shen Lianxing, and said angrily, "Shen Yuansi is so confused, are you fooling around with him too?!"

Shen Lianxing patted him on the back lightly: "Unfortunately, this is the only way at present."

"But don't worry." He said again, "I know in my heart that I won't put myself in danger."

Shen Feishan fell silent.

The beard on his face was too much and too thick, which made it difficult to see his expression clearly, but his chest was still heaving and his breathing was urgent.

"You... since you came to see me." After a long while, he finally calmed down and said softly, "You must have made up your mind."

"Yeah." Shen Lianxing nodded, let go of his hands and stood aside, "Borrowing the research from the predecessors, will it work?"

Shen Feishan said in a low voice, "I can't persuade you."

Use an affirmative tone.

Shen Lianxing thought for a while, and said humbly: "Then you can try."

He is the kind of person who will focus on completing the things that have been decided. Unless he wants to stop, no one can stop him.

They are all like this, and no one knows better than Shen Feishan.

"...that's a failure." Shen Feishan said slowly, "You also know that it won't go to the sky, and it will kill you."

He stared at Shen Lianxing intently, as if trying to find a trace of wavering on his face.

Then he can refuse, he can say 'I won't lend it to you', and he can persuade the child to give up with peace of mind.

But no, Shen Lianxing looked at him without hesitation. In his eyes, Shen Feishan could only see interest and determination.

He couldn't make people give up both.

"Just take a look." Shen Lianxing said, "I promise I won't damage or alter it - I will make a new one, but I just need some reference."

"Aren't you curious?" He persuaded Shen Feishan, "No one has ever seen a magpie, you don't want to see how it flies?"

Shen Feishan looked away.

He stared at his old hands and the wrinkles and calluses on them, and said slowly: "...I don't know."

He didn't do it because he liked it.

Shen Feishan has never been talented, he can't be a mechanism engineer well, and he has no interest in it. He is incompatible with his identity, and it is really painful to force him to adjust.

The stuff had killed his friend, and he wasn't sure if he wanted to see it again.

"...I don't have the ability to create." Shen Feishan finally admitted, "I can only make."

Shen Feishan is from the Shen family, yes, he is an excellent craftsman, but he will never be able to become an excellent mechanism engineer.

Because he only knows how to make, no matter how fine and regular the parts are, what he makes is someone else's thing after all.

Shen Feishan realized this a long time ago. This is not something that hard work can make up for. If you can't do it, you can't do it. No matter how hard you try, it's useless.

So he left the Shen family... In such a remote valley, he did some messy research that was actually useless at all.

He is not suitable for this, but he wants to do it now.

He just yearns, his life has never had a goal, he wants to see... what the world looks like in that person's eyes.

I thought about it for 40 years, but there was no result.

Shen Feishan raised his head.

The old man was very old, and although he was still in good spirits, his eyes inevitably began to cloud, and when he looked at people with force unconsciously, he brought out a little serious emotion.

He knew that even if he didn't borrow it, Shen Lianxing would still research and experiment. Without previous experience, it would be more dangerous.

Shen Feishan knew that he would never realize his dream in this life.

...Maybe Shen Lianxing can?

Although the possibility is slim, after all, if you try it, you will not regret it.

"That's fine."

Shen Feishan finally gave up thinking, and compromised: "It's okay to borrow from you, anyway, I won't need them in my life, so I just let them go."

"I'm going to find the blueprints," he said.

He staggered out, waving his hands to reject Yan Jinping's support.

The back looks like an old man who has entered his dying years.

There is no 'automatic door closer' here, Shen Feishan closed the door with a 'click' sound.

Returned a room of silence.

The author says:

Yan Jinping: Oh, strange old man.

Yan Jinping: I really want to complain, but I am very polite, so I have to hold back.

Yan Jinping: ...Huh?What should I do, can I touch him, why is he coughing, is he okay, what should I do, Shen Lianxing, save me (.

Boss Yan who is so at a loss is so cute.

Wow, to be honest, I was stuck to death in the first two days. I don’t really like to complain, but I was really stuck before. Last week, I basically only slept for four hours a day... (However, I still haven’t written much orz )

It’s finally smoother, happy, love everyone~ (Joyful, jpg

By the way, there is no CP love story in this article, it is a very pure friendship~
