Time flew, Liu Zhimo and the others were about to return to the Ox-Head Village."Keep your feet on the ground and work well for the people." Old Master Lu strongly patted Liu Zhimo"s shoulders, and warned him again.
Liu Zhimo nodded heavily, "Grandfather, you and Grandmother must take care of your bodies and wait for us to come back to show our filial piety."
Liu Zhiyan and Liu Zhirou had not grown up yet, so he would definitely take care of their health and watch them get married and have children.
After Liu Zhimo finished speaking with Old Master Lu, the Old Man Liu took a step forward. He did not speak anymore, but told Liu Zhimo and the others to take care of their health.
"We will, grandpa, you too. You have to respect your elders, don"t try to be brave in everything."
"Kid, your grandpa is still young!" Old Man Liu puffed his beard and glared as he said in a huff, "When grandpa has time, I"ll come and find you guys."
"Alright, we"ll wait for grandpa to come."
"Alright, alright, it"s not like we can"t see each other anymore. Three, five years have pa.s.sed and we"ve returned. Stop wasting time, we"re in a hurry to set off." Mr. Luo looked at the bunch of people and interrupted them with his helpless words.
The old man and the Old Man Liu were jealous and envious of Mr. Luo, they wanted to follow as well.
"Luo Laotou, I will leave my grandchildren to you. If they lose even a hair, this old man will settle this score with you." Old Man Liu angrily said as he looked at Mr. Luo.
Mr. Luo was so happy that he started laughing out loud, telling Old Man Liu to be at ease, he will definitely protect his disciples and grandchildren.
With him here, he wanted to see who in the Ninghua County would dare to touch Liu Zhimo.
That"s right, he would follow Liu Zhimo and the others. Besides wanting to walk around, he also wanted to help Liu Zhimo establish his might.
He had someone investigate the situation of the Ninghua County and knew that the squire there was more overbearing. It would be difficult for Liu Zhimo to face the squire alone.
He didn"t want to see his grand-disciple bullied, so he simply followed them.
Of course, under the situation where no one bullied Liu Zhimo excessively, he wouldn"t casually intervene to obstruct Liu Zhimo"s work.
Although his heart ached for Liu Zhimo, he would still let Liu Zhimo experience these things.
"Grandfather, Grandpa Xue, Grandfather and Grandmother, Sanniang, Sixth Brother, Seventh Sister, we"ll be leaving. Goodbye." Liu Zhimo and the others called out to Old Man Liu and the others, and waved them away.
Liu Zhixin bit her lips, unwilling to let Liu Zhirou and Li Qingning definitely write to her, don"t forget her.
Liu Zhirou nodded towards Li Qingning. She said that they would write to her and miss her.
"Let"s go, we have a safe journey."
Seeing the carriage leave, Liu Zhixin could no longer hold it in and started crying loudly. She finally found two playmates with great difficulty, but in the end, they left her alone to play.
Zhang Yuner didn"t know whether to laugh or cry, so she carried Liu Zhixin and comforted her in a small voice. She said that her brothers and sisters would be back very soon, and told her not to cry anymore.
"Mother, you lied to me. I heard from my elder sister that it would be a very, very long time before they return."
"..."
Zhang Yuner choked and patted Liu Zhixin"s back, telling her to eat more and grow up quickly. At that time, she would bring her to find her brothers and sisters.
After Liu Zhixin heard this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhang Yuner with teary eyes, and asked her if she was speaking the truth.
"When did mother lie to you?" Zhang Yuner unhappily pinched Liu Zhixin"s nose, "If you don"t eat properly, and are still so small, I won"t bring you to find my brothers and sisters, understand?"
Liu Zhixin wiped the tears off her face and nodded heavily, saying that she understood.
She would not be picky with food in the future. She would have a good meal and grow up quickly. Only then would she be able to see her elder brothers and sisters.
Come to think of it, other than in the capital, she had really never gone to other places. She really wanted to follow Ning Ning and catch wild chickens on the mountain before going down the river to fish …
Just for this, she was going to have a proper meal.
Old Man Liu sighed heavily with both hands behind his back, and said dispiritedly, "Go back!"
Their side did not feel good, neither did Liu Zhimo and the others. All of their eyes were red, and they kept their heads down, not saying a word.
The person most at ease was Mr. Luo, he leisurely brewed a pot of tea, poured himself a cup, and slowly savored it.
"What are you doing? All good things must come to an end. You must get used to this separation. " It"s not like they"re not coming back, so why are all of them looking so dejected?
He rubbed his temples with a headache, then placed the teacup down, and started to advise Liu Zhimo and the rest.
Liu Zhimo and the others laughed embarra.s.sedly. The Master was right, it wasn"t like they wouldn"t be able to come back, why did it feel like they were leaving each other for life?
"Thank you, Grand Master. It"s our fault."
Mr. Luo nodded, and poured some more cups of tea, pushing it in front of Liu Zhimo and the others, allowing them to drink.
After Liu Zhimo and the others finished drinking their tea, they felt completely at ease.
"I wonder how sister and sister are doing?" After Li Qingfeng"s own mental state was resolved, he started to worry about his sister again.
Especially his two younger sisters, they would probably feel extremely uncomfortable in their hearts.
"With your sister here, there"s no problem." Mr. Luo was very confident in Li Qingling, "Alright, don"t waste your time on these things, did you finish the homework I gave you two days ago?"
Mr. Luo really did not save time at all, forcing Li Qingfeng to learn from him while they were in the horse carriage.
Li Qingfeng and Liu Zhimo looked at each other and cried out in their hearts. They thought they could relax for a few days, but who would have thought …
They did not dare to bargain with Mr. Luo, so they obediently took out their homework, Mr. Luo, and looked.
When Liu Zhimo saw the two of them looking like they had nothing to live for, he laughed unscrupulously. With his senior in charge of the two of them, he would be able to throw himself into the Ninghua County with all of his heart and soul.
In the few years that he had been in Ninghua County, he had to do things on the ground and for the common people.
Since he had the time, there was no need to rush.
After walking for half a day and pa.s.sing through a patch of forest, Liu Zhimo and the others stopped to rest.
As soon as he got off the horse carriage, he walked over to Li Qingling and the other two"s carriage and asked them how they were doing.
Li Qingling opened the carriage"s curtain and immediately jumped down, then carried Liu Zhirou and Li Qingning off the carriage.
"Nothing, what about you?"
"In the beginning, the two kids were pretty depressed. After being lectured by grandteacher, they didn"t have anything to do."
"So are these two little fellows." Li Qingling laughed as he patted the two little fellows" heads and lightly pushed them on the back to let them play with Li Qingfeng and the others.
Liu Zhirou agreed as she ran towards Li Qingfeng"s direction.
Seeing that the guards were preparing to eat, Li Qingling smiled. This time, other than the Master and the six of them, there were also four maids, four servants, and thirty guards.
The team wasn"t that big, but it wasn"t small either.
Hopefully, they would be able to safely arrive at their destination.
"Zhi Moge, the roast duck I cleaned earlier, is it on your carriage?"
In order to eat better on the way here, she really did pack all kinds of things, even brought meat, vegetables and other vegetables.
After all, there were a lot of people.
"It"s in that carriage. I"ll go get it."
"Together..."
Liu Zhimo and Li Qingling brought out the ten roast ducks that had been placed on the horse carriage.
Liu Zhimo and the rest of the seven could eat one roast duck, so the remaining nine would be given to the guards to eat.
The moment the guards opened the oil paper, the fragrance of the roast duck a.s.saulted their nostrils, and their saliva began to drip.
"Thank you, Lord Liu." The guards thanked him and impatiently separated the roast duck.
Seeing them so happy, Liu Zhimo laughed along as well, turned around and walked towards Mr. Luo and the others.
After having a beautiful meal and having had enough rest, they once again set off on their journey.
It took them over half a month to reach Qingyang Town.
Looking at the familiar spot in front of them, Li Qingling let out a light sigh. They had finally returned to this place.
After sitting in the carriage for more than half a month, her whole body was aching and she almost couldn"t take it anymore.
Plus, there wasn"t much fun right now, so sitting in the carriage was really boring.
"Sister, we"ll be home soon." Li Qingning stretched her head out and jumped happily, "I wonder how Big Flower and the others are doing?" Soon she would be able to meet his little friends.
Li Qingling pulled Li Qingning back, "I can"t stick my head out, it"s too dangerous." If someone accidentally b.u.mped into him, she would definitely be seriously injured.
Li Qingning stuck her tongue out at Li Qingling, and said "Okay". Although she did not dare to stretch her head out, her eyes were still looking outside without blinking.
"Huh, sister, what are those people doing?"
Hearing this, Li Qingling looked outside. If she was not mistaken, the person in front was the county magistrate?
Why are they here?
Just then, the car that Liu Zhimo and the others were sitting in stopped, and the car that Li Qingling and the others were sitting in stopped as well. She saw that Liu Zhimo and the others were getting off the car, so she reached out and patted Li Qingning"s head, "Don"t talk." They were women, and they didn"t have to get out of the car.
It"s a man"s business, not a woman"s.
"Lord Liu, Mr. Luo, we"ve finally waited for you." When the county magistrate saw Liu Zhimo smiling at Mr. Luo, he said, "I have prepared a banquet to welcome Lord Liu Mr. Luo."
The moment he heard the news that Mr. Luo would be coming over, he immediately had his men prepare the banquet and also stared at Mr. Luo and the others" carriages, wondering when they would be coming over.
If he could grab onto Mr. Luo"s thighs, that would be great.
Liu Zhimo was really lucky to be able to catch him.
In front of outsiders, Mr. Luo always acted like he did not eat at all. He indifferently glanced at the county magistrate, then glanced at Liu Zhimo.
Liu Zhimo understood and laughed: "Thank you for your good intentions, Master Zhang. It"s just that I"m really tired after rushing all the way back, and want to go home and rest." They were really tired, and did not want to mess with Zhang County Magistrate"s orders.
