After Lin Manliu finished eating, Eleven whispered something in Mother Lin's ear. Mother Lin put away the food box and walked to the backyard. Eleven also closed the shop and returned to the backyard.

Looking for Lin Manliu’s mother.

"How's your harvest today, our evil young man from Dongcheng?" Ye Dang said with a smile.

"Can you please speak properly!" Lin Manliu looked at the old liar beside him with a speechless expression.

"Ahem...ok" Ye Dangting waved his hand and said, then he stopped teasing the boy.

In the follow-up review, the approximate return time of each caravan trip was determined. As for the caravan routes to the Jiangnan area, during today's search, we learned that there were a total of three times, and only one of them in autumn was farther than this one.

The journey took a long time, and the caravan's stopping places for each message could be determined at three places.

They were Rongcheng, Juzhou, and Yuezhou. From this, it seemed that revisiting the old place was unavoidable. Lin Manliu suddenly remembered that the caravan manager in Juzhou seemed to have some friendship with the innkeeper there. This was also possible at that time.

Pay attention to the clues. When the time comes in the direction of Rongcheng, you can get rid of General Li Yanhe for investigation, leaving only the last Yuezhou.

"As for Yuezhou, we still need to be cautious. I will send a secret message to the Villa later to send more people there to help you. If there is no accident, it is Chongying. Don't worry." Ye Dangting and Lin Manliu discussed

Talk about matters related to Yuezhou.

"I will also be more careful when the time comes. If there is any obstruction, I will retreat first." The boy in a short shirt nodded and confirmed.

...

The two people in the shop chatted until the evening about Lin Manliu's plans for his own trip. They had already decided on when he would travel, when he would go where, how he would send letters to Fengcheng, and how he would send letters back to Fengcheng. They also had plans for his appearance.

In the worst case scenario, for example, if the caravan is confirmed to have been killed and preparations have been made, then the only option is to go to Hangzhou Yijian Villa to discuss matters with Lu Fengbai and Mr. Mo.

The discussion between the two was coming to an end when suddenly there was a knock on the door of the store. After hearing the news, Ye Dang was the first to stay silent and gave Lin Manliu a wink before retreating behind the counter. Lin Manliu followed suit.

Make an action to disrupt all the objects on the counter.

The boy in a short shirt cleared his throat and shouted out the door: "Who is it? The shop is closed today and no pastries are sold."

"You brat, hurry up and open the door for your father!" A very familiar voice came from outside the door, it was Father Lin's voice.

Lin Manliu heard the voice of his father and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door. As soon as the shop door opened, he saw a middle-aged man bending over and panting. In the dusk, the man put his hands on his knees and half of his body.

Squatting without standing up, he looked up at his son who opened the door for him. He struggled to hold up a hand and pointed at the boy, as if he wanted to say something, but because of his breathing problem, he just stared at Lin Manliu blankly.

.

"Well, you stinky boy, if I don't come back today, are you going to run away from me quietly..." After a long time, Father Lin, who was panting, said with difficulty.

"Dad, no, even if Manliu wants to go out, he will not leave until he comes home and has a good discussion with you." Lin Manliu hurriedly stepped forward to support Father Lin and welcomed him into the store.

"You stinky boy, you'd better be like this, or else I'll spank you until your ass is wet." Father Lin glared at the young man next to him, but there was no hint of anger in his words.

"But dad, why can you go home today? The government suddenly showed kindness and you don't have to work at night?" The young man in a short shirt helped Lin's father to sit down on the chair and asked aloud.

"Today, Young Master Ye came to the place where your father worked. He talked to the man about some things, so that I can have more leisure in the future. As long as it is not the autumn harvest period, I basically don't have to continue working at night." Father Lin sat down

Finally, he patted his thigh and said, unable to stop smiling as he spoke.

Lin Manliu followed his father's words and turned to look at Ye Dangting behind the counter. After Ye Dangting noticed the young man's gaze, he waved his hands and stopped talking. Only then did the young man realize that he was not the only one who was there today.

He has been running around and busy outside. The old liar was standing in front of the door so comfortably waiting for him. It turned out that he had already finished his work.

"It's a good thing that dad doesn't have to work so hard in the future. This way Man Liu can go out to find the whereabouts of the uncles in the caravan and the old masters." Lin Man Liu squatted in front of Lin's father and helped his father rub his hands.

Legs said.

"As expected of my father's good son, he will be different when he grows up! I heard your mother tell you before that she would find a fortune teller for you. He said that you would have a hard life in the future, and I, your father, would be unlucky! If you have hard work now, you will be like this in the future.

Like Ye Shaoxia, when you become a hero, you must take your mother out of here, go out and have a good look at the world outside..." Father Lin looked at his son under his knees with a smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with tears as he spoke.

It started to turn red.

"Dad! Manliu will definitely live up to his expectations...Why are you still crying? Your son and I are not crying anymore. Dad, why are you crying..." Lin Manliu suddenly saw Father Lin with wet eyes, and suddenly

Starting to feel a little nervous.

"Dad just feels that he is useless and is crying for you. If dad had been more successful a few years ago, he might have taken you and your mother out of this east city long ago... Other people's children can usually take a bath at home, but now you can

You are so old, and you have to hide in the mountains and streams, and you don't have to make a few new sets of clothes a year..." Father Lin's tone began to sob, and hot tears fell from his face full of grooves.

I lost control of my mood and started talking about some past events and regrets.

"From now on, Dad won't have to worry anymore. Everything will be fine soon." Lin Manliu held Lin's father's hands and looked firmly at his father's face.

Ye Dangting on the side just lay casually on the counter, with his eyes closed and pillowed on his arms. He didn't seem to hear the conversation between the father and son in the store. Then Lin Manliu told Lin's father something, and then his own

With an approximate schedule and possible time to return home, everyone closed the door of the shop together and walked to the backyard.

When Lin Manliu, Lin's father and Ye Dangting walked out of the backyard, they found that tables and chairs had been set up in the yard. The table in the middle of the yard was already bigger than yesterday. Lin's mother and Eleven were decorating the house.

Good meals are placed on the table one by one.

"Old liar, did you do this?" Lin Manliu asked casually.

"Isn't that right? I'm not much more relaxed than you today. Look, because you are going out, I have to follow suit. Can you show me some respect for your master in the future?" Ye Dangting crossed his arms across his chest and said:

He said with a proud look.

"Whose master are you?" Eleven on the other side of the table said.

"It's not a matter of time..." Ye Dang was so speechless that he had to raise his head to the sky and made a very small sound, but everyone in the courtyard could hear it clearly. Eleven immediately turned around and entered the house to carry the food.

, but what no one noticed was that the base of her ears was slightly red.

Then the five people gathered around the table to have dinner together. Last night and tonight, the whole family gathered together happily. Such a scene was something Lin Manliu had never imagined since he could remember, that the three of them as a family could do this every day.

We all get together to have dinner in the evening, and enjoy the shade together in the yard after dark.

Tonight, Shi Yi and Lin's mother packed up the dishes and went back to the house to rest. Only Lin's father, Lin Manliu and Ye Dangting were left in the yard, sitting on the stone steps together looking at the people outside the courtyard wall.

Under the sky, Father Lin and Ye Dang listened to the left and right. Lin Manliu sat in the middle of the stone steps. The three of them did not say anything at first. It was not until Father Lin sighed that Lin Manliu turned around and looked at Lin Manliu beside him.

father.

"Dad, what's wrong?" the boy in a short shirt said loudly.

"Oh, what can I do to my father? He just sighs that he is old and his son has grown up," Lin's father said aloud.

"Didn't I just lament once during the day, how come dad has become so sentimental now? As I said before, why are you such a bitch, hahahahaha..." Lin Manliu imitated his father's words from the side.

said.

"You stinky boy, how dare your father tell some jokes? You're so capable." When Father Lin heard that he was being teased by his son, he immediately bumped his son next to him with his shoulder, but his words were full of satisfaction and joy.

.

"Uncle Lin, this is the problem with this kid Manliu now. He has some disrespect for his teacher. I have restrained him many times, but he didn't listen at all." Ye Dang fanned the flames and said.

"Look! What Ye Shaoxia said is right or not. If you do this in the future, you brat, don't blame my family for serving you." Lin's father slapped his thigh with his hand and said.

"Uncle Lin, it's okay. I will discipline Manliu well in the future!" Ye Dangting responded immediately, and then slapped his thigh with one hand, making a loud sound, but it was Lin Manliu's thigh.

Before he could stop the old liar from singing along with his father, the boy in a short shirt suddenly felt a burning pain in his thigh. Lin Manliu could only hold his leg and reluctantly bumped into Ye Dangting with his shoulder.

Unexpectedly, he was dodged by the old liar and almost knocked to the ground. When the young man's head was about to hit the stone steps, Ye Dangtong casually held him up and straightened his entire body.

"You respect my teacher so much, why do you want to try to kill me? I'm so angry! I'm so angry!" the old liar said in an innocent tone.

What greeted him was a blank look from the young man. Father Lin looked a little too far on the sidelines and could only cough to stop him. Only then did Ye Dangting stop talking nonsense. The three of them continued to look at the sky.

The stars among them flicker from time to time, and the moon is hidden behind the clouds and mist, sometimes dark and sometimes bright.

"Tell me what my son wants to do in the future," Father Lin said, breaking the silence in the courtyard.

"I want to go out and see more. I have seen the intersection of mountains and rivers, the alternation of sun and moon, the warmth and coldness of the world. I want to see more stories that I don't know. I want to be like the old liar and use a booklet to deceive people in the countryside.

"Children," Lin Manliu said, first looking at the stars in the sky, and then took out the book "Landscapes and Swordsmanship" from his arms and looked at Ye Dangting beside him.

"Just say you want to be like me, or be a hero! A hero who can protect others with a sword. By the way, not everyone is willing to sell my pamphlet.

Ah," Ye Dang laughed.

"Well..." Lin Manliu simply responded and continued to look at the sky.
