"Mother."

Cocolia turned her head and looked at her.

Why don't you do it?

"You are the true guardian."

The wind stopped.

The snow is still falling.

Cocolia looked at Bronya, at those gray eyes.

Those eyes held doubt, confusion, and a tender, cautious heartache.

She smiled.

It's not the laughter of the great guardian, nor the laughter of the decision-maker.

It is a mother's smile.

She did not answer Bronya's question.

He simply reached out and gently placed his hand on Bronya's head, rubbing it lightly.

The palms are warm, and the movements are gentle.

Just like when we were kids.

Bronya.

Her voice was very gentle.

"You are my eternal pride."

Chapter 45 When humans think, Aha laughs.

Just as they were eating, Yanqing arrived. Lin Si's mother invited Yanqing to eat with her. After they finished eating, Yanqing pushed Lin Si's wheelchair to the Shence Mansion.

"Xiao Lin, Yan Qing, have you eaten yet? Come and have some with us!"

Lin Si and Yan Qing looked in the direction of the sound.

A woman with her eyes covered by gauze sat in a roadside pavilion, with various delicacies laid out in front of her, and was smiling and waving at the two of them.

Lin Si responded with a smile.

"Aunt Danshu, Yanqing and I have already eaten. We won't trouble you any further."

Dan Shu nodded and waved his hand.

"Okay, then you guys go have fun!"

Yanqing waved to her and pushed the wheelchair toward the Shence Mansion again.

On the way, Lin Si suddenly remembered something, turned to Yan Qing and asked,

"You said Aunt Danshu is blind, how did she see us?"

Yanqing shrugged.

"The cultivators of the Pill Refining Bureau always have some wondrous pills. Perhaps it's because of those pills? Or maybe it's some kind of perception technique. I don't really understand."

Lin Si nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

"Speaking of the criminals in the Dan Ding Division, surely Aunt Dan Shu isn't one of them? She's such a kind person."

This Aunt Dan Shu is one of the people who watched him grow up.

And ever since he lost the ability to walk, Lin Si could always sense a subtle concern from Dan Shu whenever they met.

It wasn't the kind of polite, perfunctory concern.

It was the kind of feeling that genuinely cared for him.

Yanqing shook her head.

"I don't know. But Aunt Dan Shu is indeed a very nice person."

He thought for a moment, then added,

“When I was on patrol last time, I saw her helping a little girl who was also blind, taking her home. The little girl was standing alone by the roadside when Aunt Danshu passed by and took her hand without saying a word.”

Lin Si smiled.

"Really? I knew it."

The two chatted casually and soon arrived at Shence Mansion.

Shence Mansion, General's Study.

"General."

Lin Si pushed the wheelchair inside, with Yan Qing following behind.

Jing Yuan was sitting behind his desk handling government affairs, holding a document in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

Hearing the sound, he looked up, his brows relaxed, and he smiled:

"Little Lin, you're here?"

He put down the documents and leaned back in his chair.

"Although I told you to go out and see more yesterday, you still have to wait two more days."

Yao Qing and Zhu Ming will send some people over. You can show them around Luofu and take them to see and observe more.

He paused.

"For the next couple of days, you can stay here in my Shence Mansion, read some books, and learn how Luofu operates, how about that?"

Lin Si didn't have any objections.

Anyway, he's just a nobody, so he'll do whatever the general tells him to do.

"Row."

Yanqing watched as Lin Si pushed her wheelchair toward the bookshelf, and said something to Jingyuan.

"General, I'm going to practice my sword!"

Jing Yuan waved his hand.

"Go ahead, go ahead. Don't cut down all the wooden figures in the training ground again, it'll be a hassle for the workers in the workshop to repair them."

Yanqing chuckled and ran off in a flash.

The study fell silent.

All that remained were the sounds of Jing Yuan turning the pages of documents and Lin Si's wheelchair rolling across the floor.

Lin Si pushed her wheelchair to the bookshelf and looked up at it.

The bookshelves were large, taking up an entire wall. Various files, books, and notes were neatly arranged, some as new as ever, others yellowed and curled at the edges.

To be fair, he didn't waste his time in Xianzhou all these years.

He actually had a fairly good understanding of how each department operated.

Looking at the books on the bookshelf, most of them were documents about various affairs in Louvre.

Such as "Annual Budget of the Industrial Construction Department", "Route Records of the Shipbuilding Department", "Compilation of Divination Cases of the Taibu Department"...

Just looking at the name gives me a headache.

Lin Si's gaze skipped over these and continued scanning downwards.

Then he saw it.

On the other side of the bookshelf, there were several books that looked a little different.

He bent down and pulled out a book.

Mysterious Star Tales

Lin Sile.

Gossip among the celestial gods?

I need to take a good look at this.

He turned to the first page, pushed his wheelchair to the window, and began to read in the afternoon sunlight.

Surprisingly, there was no gossip involved.

The book contains descriptions of star gods and their philosophies of destiny.

"When humans think, Aha laughs."

"The driving force of exploration: the unexplored territory is the way home."

“The protectors say: As long as the wall stands, the people will remain.”

These kinds of entries, one after another, resemble someone's reading notes.

Lin Si initially found it a bit boring, but after flipping through a few pages, he gradually got into it.
