The expression for the pair structure factor of the Bose-liquid in a wide temperature range is used in the approximation of three- and four-particle indirect correlations [I. O. Vakarchuk, R. O. Prytula J. Phys. Stud. {\bf 12}, 4001 (2008)]. We obtained the expressions for the pair distribution function and direct correlation function of the liquid helium-4. All the final formulae are written solely via the liquid structure factor extrapolated to $T\to 0$ taken as a source information instead of the interatomic potential. We make numerical calculation for the temperature dependence of the pair distribution function and the direct correlation function. A good agreement of the temperature dependence of the pair distribution function with the corresponding experimental data is found.
