This old man had been gone for half a month, but no news had traveled back. Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo were extremely worried, but they did not dare show it on their faces, afraid that the children in the family would be worried.Today, Li Qingling took a stool and sat at the courtyard entrance. Looking at the entrance of the village, he frowned and asked: "I wonder how is the old man doing?" Is it difficult? It made the old man helpless.
Liu Zhimo, who was standing right beside her, reached out and rubbed her shoulder after hearing her words, "The situation is currently uncertain, so we can"t just go out and ask, we can only wait." Ever since he told the village chief half a month ago about the plague in Shuangyang County, the village had been sending people to guard the village entrance on a rotational basis, no longer allowing anyone to enter and leave the village as they wished.
This was also to prevent someone from bringing the plague into the village.
Li Qingling sighed and said, that was all.
Right after she finished speaking, Li Qingning ran over with a * Pa Pa Pa Pa * and directly laid on her back, asking her in a childish voice, "Elder sister, are you waiting here for grandfather to come back? When will he be back? I miss him too. " She felt that it had been a long time since she last saw her grandfather, but she missed him.
Li Qingling reached out and patted Li Qingning"s little b.u.t.t, replying to her with a smile, "Very soon, after Grandfather has done his job, he"ll be back." This little fellow would come over every day to ask her, when would her grandfather be back?
She had to patiently answer her every day.
But today, the little guy wasn"t so easily fooled. Her little arms hugged her neck, her little head leaned against her shoulder, and she retorted with her little mouth pouting. "Big sis, you lied to me. You said that before, but grandpa didn"t come back." My sister will fool little children.
"..." After this little guy spoke so quickly, her small mouth became even more talkative, talking non-stop all day.
It wouldn"t be that easy to deceive her. Look, they all said that she had lied to her.
"Grandfather didn"t come back because she hasn"t finished what he did. As long as he has done well, he will definitely come back." Li Qingling tilted his head to the side, looked at the little guy, and then comforted her in a soft voice, "Let"s just wait peacefully at home for Grandfather"s return, okay?"
Hearing Li Qingling"s words, the little guy"s mood dropped a little. She let out a sigh like a little adult, and helplessly nodded his head.
Seeing her like this, Li Qingling felt both angry and amused. She reached out to pinch the nose of the little fellow, scolding her for being young, what was there to sigh about? Like an old woman.
"I"m not an old woman, sister is so bad." The little fellow pouted its little body.
Hearing that, Li Qingling gently laughed, "Then who was it that sighed just now? "Hmm?" It was unknown who this little fellow looked like, but he was already a ghost at such a young age.
"I don"t know. Who"s sighing? I didn"t hear it!" As she spoke, she looked around, shaking her head as if trying to find someone who was sighing.
"You mischievous brat." Li Qingling helplessly patted her little b.u.t.t again, "What"s big brother and big sister doing? Why aren"t you playing with your older brother and sister? "
Upon hearing this, the little guy shook his head like a rattle, saying that his big brother and big sister should not disturb them while they were writing.
Hearing the little guy"s adult like words, Li Qingling"s heart softened into a puddle of water. With a flip of her hand, she grabbed the little guy off her back, and directly hugged her into her embrace, kissing the little guy"s face with a lowered head, "Aiyo, ours is obviously great, you still know how not to disturb big brother and big sister"s writing?"
The moment the little guy heard Li Qingling"s praise, she stuck out her chest with a smile, "Of course." Big brother told him that while his brothers and sisters were writing, he couldn"t disturb them.
She was a good child, and listened very well to her elder brothers and sisters.
"Awesome!"
Li Qingling smacked his cheek twice and then kissed his twice.
Perhaps it was because their parents were gone, but all the children at home were obedient and understanding, causing them to feel heartache.
At the same time, she felt very proud of herself. She had brought up a child, and she was so obedient and sensible that others couldn"t even envy her.
She raised her little head and also kissed Li Qingling twice on the cheek. After kissing him, she wanted to jump out of Li Qingling"s embrace and go to the study to see if her big brother and big sister had finished writing.
But before she could move, a carriage arrived at the village entrance.
When Li Qingling saw the carriage, he immediately stood up with the little fellow in his arms. She tried his best to widen his eyes and asked, "Zhi Moge, do you think this old man has returned?"
"Don"t be in such a hurry, go over and take a look." Liu Zhimo shook Li Qingling"s hand, and then walked towards the village entrance.
The two villagers who were guarding the village entrance saw a carriage coming over. They held back their fear and stopped the carriage.
"Who are you people? The village cannot come in here as they please. "
The person driving the car was none other than Liu Yi, who came to pick up the old man. When he saw the att.i.tude of the two villagers, he frowned and opened his mouth to scold them. However, the old man stuck his head out of the car.
The moment he stuck his head out, Liu Zhimo saw him. He cried out in pleasant surprise, "Grandfather …"
"Kid Mo …" When the old man saw Liu Zhimo, he laughed and shouted, then jumped down from the carriage.
He looked at the two villagers and said, "You two, I"m from the Mo family, can I come over now?"
When Liu Zhimo, who had rushed over, heard the old man"s words, he also quickly chimed in, "Two uncles, he is indeed my grandfather who lives at home, and is no stranger." "He is an imperial physician. Half a month ago, the Emperor invited him to treat the plague. Now that he is back, the plague should be cured."
Upon hearing that it was the imperial physician, or the emperor"s invitation to treat the plague, the two villagers felt their hearts pounding. They swallowed their saliva and asked Liu Zhimo if it was true.
Liu Zhimo knew that they were being cautious for the sake of the village"s safety, so he replied with a smile. You all could ask Cun Zhangyeye about it, and Cun Zhangyeye would also know about this matter.
"This …" The two villagers looked at each other, but in order to be cautious, Liu Zhimo apologised and said, "Then … Excuse me, please wait for a moment, I... I"ll go ask the Village Chief. "
As soon as a villager finished his sentence, he ran away like a wisp of smoke.
"What"s going on?" The Old Man looked at the villagers, then turned to Liu Zhimo and asked, "What is going on?"
Liu Zhimo smiled and explained the situation. After he finished, Li Qingling and the little fellow ran over.
She asked curiously, "Why are you still standing here? "Why aren"t you going home?" She waited and waited at the door, and when they didn"t come back, she ran down the stairs.
"We can"t go back until later." Liu Zhimo glanced at the somewhat embarra.s.sed villagers who were standing at the side. She immediately understood and nodded his head, but he did not insist on talking about it.
This was, after all, a rule set down by the Village Chief. If she were to break this rule so casually, it would be equivalent to slapping the Village Chief"s face.
This was not good.
"Grandfather, hug …" Seeing that his grandfather, who he longed for, had returned, the little guy didn"t become a fried dough twist in Li Qingling"s arms, and wanted this old man to hug her.
When the old man saw the little guy, he also felt a lot of longing, he reached out his hands wanting to carry him over, but then he remembered that he was just walking out from the plague area, he might be covered with a lot of germs, so he immediately retracted his hand and comforted the little guy with a smile, "After grandpa goes back to take a shower, change his clothes, and then hug Ning Ning!"
A child"s body is weak. If they were infected with a bug, then they wouldn"t be able to get sick.
When the little guy saw the old man withdraw his hand, his little mouth turned flat, "No, I miss you grandpa, hug …" Her grandfather hadn"t returned home for such a long time, so she felt wronged that he didn"t even hug her when they returned.
"Ning Ning, be good. Grandfather will hug you later!"
"Stop messing around. You want to be sick and eat bitter medicine, just let grandpa hug you!"
Once he heard that her grandfather had to take very bitter medicine to carry her, Li Qingning immediately retracted her small hands and shook her head with all her might, saying, "Don"t take the bitter medicine."
When the old man heard Li Qingling say that, he glared at him and angrily said, "Don"t scare Ning Ning. If she doesn"t kiss me later, I"ll beat you up." After cursing at Li Qingling, he explained to him with a smile, "Ning Ning, be good, grandfather. Right now your clothes are dirty, I can"t hug you. Change your clothes and you can carry Ning Ning. "
Hearing that, Li Qingning smiled and nodded, "Alright, after grandpa takes a bath, change his clothes and then carry Ning Ning." She would wait for her grandfather.
"Doctor Xue, we don"t have much time, you …" Liu Yi restrained himself, but he still couldn"t help but remind the old man.
The old man had cured the plague this time, which could be considered a great achievement. He was going to the capital.
He came back in a hurry this time, thinking that these kids would worry about him. He wanted to report back to them and tell them about it.
"It"s fine, it won"t take much time." When the old man heard Liu Yi"s words, he waved his hand nonchalantly. He hadn"t even seen the other children, so how could he leave so quickly?
When Liu Yi heard this, he could only silently nod his head and didn"t dare to persuade this doctor anymore.
"Grandfather, you … Do you still want to leave? "Has the plague been cured?"
When the villagers heard Liu Zhimo"s question, their expressions changed greatly and they retreated a few steps.
Liu Zhimo and Li Qingling looked at him, but did not say anything. They turned their eyes to the old man again, waiting for his reply.
"He"s been cured. It can be said that he has done a great service and is about to enter the capital." The old man smiled and comforted Liu Zhimo, "I have not been back for half a month, and I am afraid that you all will be worried. Before entering the capital, I have come to inform you all."
