Shiyu

Unknowingly, more than a month has passed since returning to Lin's mansion from Sichuan, and the cool breeze finally started to blow at night.Occasionally, it has rained for a few days, and the patter of raindrops takes away the heat, and the temperature becomes more and more pleasant.

For more than a month, Shi Tou basically stayed in the chrysanthemum courtyard as if he had just entered Lin's mansion, chatting and playing chess with Lin Yu every day during the day, and turning upside down on the bed at night according to his own ability.It looked very leisurely, and only Shi Tou knew that his mood was not peaceful these days, but he hid it so well that even Lin Yu, who was facing each other day and night, couldn't see it.

A few days after Lin Yu confessed to his family that time, Lin Yu came to find him.Shi Tou had met Lin Yu before, and recognized him at a glance, but Lin Yu was stunned for a long time after seeing him, because Shi Tou knew the reason well - he looked like he was returning to the teacher's school, and the master and senior brothers Certainly not recognized.

Shi Tou invited the man into the room, seeing the troubled face on the other party's face, he took the initiative to say that he became like this because of poisoning.

After Lin Yu listened, combined with the previous report from his younger brother, he also figured out the matter, and couldn't help but sympathize with Shi Tou.This was really a disaster, a good face was ruined like this, and he could bear to not kill the instigator, so generous enough to make people worship.But if it wasn't like this, the younger brother wouldn't have picked him... I really don't know if it's luck or misfortune.

Seeing the sympathy in Lin Yu's eyes, Shi Tou smirked, and sincerely apologized to him, which surprised Lin Yu.Hearing him say that this dignified appearance is really unbelievable, he wronged the second son of Lin Yunyun and smashed Lin Yu's head full of gold stars, his expression became more entangled, and finally comforted him and said: "Hero Shi, what you say like this is really...destroying us. You This is...very good, it should be said...well...it's good for you."

For some reason, when he heard Lin Yu's last sentence, Shi Tou's heart skipped a beat, he looked at Lin Yu suspiciously, and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Lin Yu was startled, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean to gloat at all, but...uh..." After struggling for a long time, facing Shi Tou's unclear eyes, he continued, "Appearances are deceiving, you This way...cough, it's easier to meet someone who really cares."

The reasoning is indeed such a reasoning, but Shi Tou intuited that Lin Yu didn't mean it originally.But after all, they are casual acquaintances, so it's not good to push too hard rashly, so I agreed and didn't ask any more questions.

It's just that the question is finally stuck in the bottom of my heart.

Afterwards, Shi Tou formally met Master Lin and Mrs. Lin.Master Lin's surprised expression was exactly the same as that of Lin Yu's, but Mrs. Lin didn't react much, as if she really did.So Shi Tou's doubts intensified.

Later, Lin Yu came to the chrysanthemum courtyard several times, mostly to see Lin Yu, and sometimes to visit Shi Tou.Every time Shi Tou made indirect remarks, but Lin Yu just had a weird expression on his face and never said anything.Until one night, the brothers of the Lin family drank with Shi Tou. Halfway through the drink, Lin Yu was called over by Mrs. Lin, leaving Lin Yu and Shi Tou to have a drink.The wine is made from old peach blossoms, and Lin Yu brought it along from Mo Qingxin's wedding banquet. It tastes refreshing and has a light taste, but it has a lot of stamina, and it is easy to drink too much.Lin Yu drank a lot that day, and later he talked to Shi Tou about Lin Yu's naughty things when he was a child, and when he said that there was nothing to be ashamed of, he rephrased: "Actually, those are nothing. There's only one thing that's troublesome."

Shi Tou had a good capacity for alcohol, and drank less, and his mind was clear, so he asked, "What is it?"

Then I heard words that made me feel seriously ups and downs.

The second son of the Lin family has a different aesthetic than ordinary people.

This courtyard, in the eyes of others, looks like a magic cave, but in the eyes of Second Young Master Lin, it is a fairyland.

How did the banquet break up? Shi Tou doesn't remember much. He only knows that since then, he has always wanted to ask Lin Yu, so what you like is my current appearance?However, when I thought about it later, since I confessed my heart, I was grateful for how Lin Yu treated me. At first, maybe it was because of my appearance, but it may not be because of my temperament attraction afterwards.I just don't know which one is more important in Lin Yu's heart, this face or the inner attraction.

So I thought, let's wait until the answer is revealed, anyway, it's only a few days away.Then decide whether to go or stay.

The days went on like this until the last day of taking the medicine.

Today Lin Yu has something to go out, so he was gone early in the morning.I am used to the days when I can see that person when I open my eyes, but suddenly one day I can't see that person, and I always feel a little empty in my heart.

Shi Tou got up in his cloak, and the maid who was waiting outside heard the movement inside, and cleverly fetched water in.After washing up, he poured a glass of water and took a sip.The water overnight was icy cold, like a cold current flowing from top to bottom, awakening the mind and cooling the heart and lungs.

Shi Tou took out the blue porcelain bottle, looked at it for a while, pulled out the stopper, dumped the bottle, and a round brown pill rolled into the palm of his hand.The bottle became empty and nothing could be poured out.

The last one.

Shi Tou looked at the pill, his mind seemed to have thousands of thoughts, but it seemed to be blank.In fact, Shi Tou has never been a gambler, but this time, it is not his turn not to gamble.In fact, as long as he doesn't take medicine, he can maintain the status quo.But people are probably selfish, as long as there is a possibility of recovery, he doesn't want to face his current face.Take a step back and say, to maintain the appearance of ruined appearance, the relationship between him and Lin Yu has been maintained now, but what about after that?Relationships based on appearance can never withstand too much tempering. What if there is a more "beautiful" person in Lin Yu's eyes?What will happen to them?It's better to take a gamble while he can still get away now. If he wins, he will breathe a sigh of relief. If he loses, he won't be too embarrassed.

Letting out a long breath, Shi Tou swallowed the pill and drank it overnight with cold water.

About a cup of tea time, Shi Tou felt his face was hot and burning, just like the feeling when he was hit by "the old lady".After burning, it is itchy, like countless bugs crawling around on the face, making the scalp numb, and I can't help but want to scratch it with my hands.Shi Tou restrained himself, but the feeling was really uncomfortable.

After another cup of tea, the strange feeling on his face finally calmed down, and it was replaced by something oozing out of his skin and covering his face.

After all the conditions disappeared, Shi Tou waited for a while, and after confirming that there would be no further changes, he returned to the washbasin and washed it carefully with water. When he raised his head again, he saw a handsome and handsome face.With sword eyebrows and star eyes, high nose and thin lips, he has a self-contained demeanor between Gu Pan.

Shi Tou wiped off the water on his face, and called someone to come in and remove the washbasin.

It was the girl with pockmarked face that Shi Tou had been in close contact with for the first time.The girl lowered her head and came in, holding the washbasin in her hands, and was about to walk away. The moment she straightened up, she seemed to see a fair face from the corner of her eyes. She looked up suspiciously, and was stunned.

Shi Tou smiled at her. "Under Shitou, I'm not a suspicious person."

The voice, clothes, temperament and demeanor are indeed the same, but the face has changed a lot.The maid was stunned for a long time, and panicked for a moment when she came back to her senses.

Shi Tou saw it, and lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his heart. "Ma'am, what time will Second Young Master Lin return to the residence today?"

"Ah... big, about noon..."

Shi Tou nodded, and asked again: "Mansion Master Lin and Eldest Young Master are at the mansion right now?"

"Yes. At this time, the master and the young master should be in the main hall."

"Thank you, girl." He thought, no matter what, he should pay another official visit.

The maid waited for a while, seeing that Shi Tou had nothing else to say, she bowed to him and retreated like a ghost.

The matter between the second young master and Shi Daxia did not deliberately hide from others, everyone in the chrysanthemum courtyard knew about it, and they were also happy for the second young master from the bottom of their hearts.I thought that the Second Young Master had finally found someone who could be with him for the rest of his life, but now...

The maid packed up her things, thought for a while, and went to the guard room in Chrysanthemum Courtyard.

Shi Tou in the room sat at the table and slowly drank the water in the pot, stood up and flexed his wrists, took the sword placed beside him, and went out.

Along the way, I met many servants of Chrysanthemum Court. When they saw him, they were suspicious and wary at first, then they became shocked when they saw the sword in his hand, and then panicked.Same as that maid.

Shi Tou smiled at the corner of his mouth along the way, nodded to them as usual, and walked towards the front yard against everyone's gaze.

When he came to the door of the lobby in the front yard, he stopped and asked the guard to inform the inside.

Mansion Master Lin and Lin Yu were discussing some matters, and they were all taken aback when they suddenly heard the announcement from the attendant that the hero Shi Toushi of the Martial Arts League would welcome you.These days he has been nesting in the chrysanthemum courtyard, and they are the ones who visit him every time, so he came here on his own initiative today?Is there a big deal?Thinking of this, he put down what he was doing and ordered the attendant to invite someone in quickly.

So Shi Tou, who had regained his handsome face, walked in with the wind in his sleeves, and bowed to the two people who were stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning: "I am Shi Tou, because I was injured before, I couldn't come to visit in time. Forgive me, both of you."

After all, it was Palace Master Lin who had experienced the storms and waves first to come back to his senses.His beard moved, and he said, "Young Xia Shi, this is..."

Shi Tou smiled. "Unfortunately, I was hit by the 'old woman' before, and the poison has not been completely detoxified until this morning. The poison was not fully detoxified when we met before, so there are two more people who never give up."

Lin Yu continued in a daze: "...'Hongyan Lao'...'Hongyan Lao''s ruined appearance can be restored?" I haven't heard of it before...

"Hongyanlao" is a blind drug developed by Baihuamen. The face of the patient is ruined, the tendons are blocked, and the internal energy is dissipated. After about a year, he starts to have sores all over his body. The water corrodes the skin and flesh, and finally turns the person into a skeleton, which is very terrifying.Fortunately, Baihuamen never used it recklessly, and only used it on people with deep hatred. Those who were tricked were all worse than death. It can generate internal energy and prevent sores, but the scars after sores can't be removed, even if the whole face is replaced, it's useless, I can only live with such an ugly face.Several poisoners used to be like Zhilan Yushu, almost unable to bear the life of falling from the sky to the mansion, and in the end they either committed suicide or went crazy and were locked up.Therefore, people in the Jianghu have a little awe of Baihuamen, and they will not provoke people from Baihuamen if they have nothing to do.Logically speaking, Shi Touzhong's "old beauty" was indeed innocent, and Mo Qingxin personally delivered the antidote, but they always thought that the appearance would not come back after the poison was cured, and they admired Shi Tou's indifference calm.Now he told them that the appearance destroyed by the "old lady" can actually come back? !

Shi Tou knew that people in the Lin family didn't know. He didn't say it because he wanted to surprise Lin Yu. Now it's unnecessary, so he didn't hide it anymore: "'Hongyan Lao' is the mother of Elder Fuqu, who is It was developed by Mo Qingxin's grandmother. Because the medicine is too strong, the antidote developed at the beginning can only remove part of the toxicity, and the remaining accumulation on the face cannot be removed, which causes the scar on the face to remain entrenched. After that, they did not I gave up the research and finally got the rest of the antidote a few years ago. It is just that the medicine for treating tendons and the medicine for removing toxins have two raw materials that are in conflict with each other, and they cannot be treated at the same time. They must be treated in two stages. After a pause, he continued, "Because the senior brother has a deep relationship with a member of the Baihuamen, and occasionally told Yu after learning about it, that's how I found out."

Palace Master Lin and Lin Yu were taken aback when they heard the words, but they also began to feel a headache.To be honest, they were happy for Shi Tou to recover his appearance, but when they thought of their second child, and the fact that they had agreed to join hands with each other long ago, they felt dizzy for a while, and for a moment they didn't know whether to trust Shi Tou completely. Before waiting for him to be mentally prepared, he should invite the person away directly to avoid the embarrassment of the two meeting each other.

——Lin Yu couldn't remember the incident of getting drunk at all.

Shi Tou stood aside, watching the changing expressions of the two of them with a smile on his face.

After a fierce ideological struggle, the two made a decision. Lin Yu turned to Shi Tou as if he was going to die resolutely, "Hero Shi, I have something to tell you about my younger brother..."

Shi Tou stretched out his hand to intercept his words: "About the Second Young Master's abnormal aesthetics?"

Palace Master Lin and Lin Yu were shocked. "you know?"

Shi Tou glanced at Lin Yu, and said flatly, "My lord, you told me ten days ago."

Lin Yu choked, and remembered the night when he was drunk. He probably slipped his tongue, so he coughed dryly and said, "Then... what is Daxia Shi going to do?"

Shi Tou raised the corners of his mouth and looked directly at the two of them, his face was calm and no emotion could be seen.

"It's not what I plan to do now, but what the Second Young Master Lin plans to do."
