When Liu Zhimo returned, what he saw was a scene of intense activity. He walked over with a questioning look and asked, "What are they doing?"When the guards saw him, they greeted him and replied that they were seeing how the Lady raised the mushrooms.
Mushroom?
Liu Zhimo looked carefully and realized that the mushrooms that the guards were talking about were hair pit s.
Seeing that Liu Zhimo had returned, Li Qingling smiled up at him, telling him to wait a moment, she quickly finished with it.
"What are you doing?"
"Get a mixed bed for cultivating mushrooms."
Liu Zhimo frowned, and waved for her to come up, and then he went to help her get it.
This pregnant woman simply doesn"t think of herself as a pregnant woman and does all kinds of work.
Li Qingling knew that Liu Zhimo was worried about her and did not want to go against his words.
Liu Zhimo reached out to wipe the dirt off her face and rolled his eyes at her. He told her not to do it the next time he had a task.
She"s not even three months pregnant, so she can"t do any heavy work.
Li Qingling nodded her head, saying that she would take note of it next time.
Hearing this, Liu Zhimo snorted, raising his head to look at Xi Chun, telling her to not be reckless.
Xi Chun replied respectfully.
"Let"s go and eat." Li Qingling didn"t want Liu Zhimo to scold him, so he pulled him along and said, "It"s been a long time since I last ate with the children. I"ll eat with them today at noon, okay?"
"You have the final say."
Hearing such indulgent words, Li Qingling"s heart was filled with sweetness.
Before they even reached the dining hall, they saw Mr. Luo bringing a group of little monkeys back.
When Mr. Luo saw them, he asked them with a smile, "Where are they going?"
Li Qingling laughed and said that he would eat with them.
Mr. Luo nodded.
When everyone went to the dining room, Li Qingling took a look but did not see Li Qingning. He asked Li Qingfeng puzzledly, where did she go?
"Ning Ning, aren"t you at home?"
"I didn"t see her." Li Qingling shook his head, "Xi Chun, are you going to check if Ning Ning is in her room? Let her eat. "
Xi Chun replied.
After a while, she came back and said that she wasn"t there, and Siyi wasn"t.
Not here?
Li Qingling frowned, where did this little fellow go?
Liu Zhimo shook Li Qingling"s hand, telling her not to worry, he immediately sent people out to look.
Thinking about the Liu Family soldiers with extraordinary abilities, Li Qingling"s tensed heart relaxed a little. She nodded slightly and prayed that the little guy had simply gone out to play and not gotten into an accident.
Liu Zhimo called out to Liu Shi, and when Liu Shi appeared in front of him, he instructed him to send someone to find Li Qingning and bring him back.
Liu Shi replied and turned to leave. In a moment, he appeared again.
"Master, the third lady is back."
"You"re back?"
"Yes..." Liu Shi nodded, "She said he will come over for dinner later."
When everyone heard this, they felt relieved. It was good that they were back.
Half an hour later, Li Qingning arrived at the dining hall while bouncing up and down. When she saw that everyone was staring at her, she immediately stopped in her tracks and asked them what they were looking at with a smile.
Li Qingling"s face was gloomy, he asked where she had gone to?
His heart thumped once, Li Qingning twisted his finger, saying that she went out to look around.
"Did you bring any guards?"
Seeing Li Qingling"s serious expression, Li Qingning did not dare lie and gently shook his head.
She wasn"t really going out shopping, so why would she bring guards?
"Next time when you go out, you must remember the guard, do you understand?" She was afraid that they would make a move on the children. "You"re not allowed to go out without guards, do you hear me?"
"Yes, sister."
"Alright, alright, Ning Ning knows he was wrong, she won"t dare next time." Mr. Luo tried to smooth things over, "Ning Ning, you have to tell us next time you go out, you can"t sneak out and make us worry?"
Li Qingning nodded her head and said yes.
Seeing that her att.i.tude was good, Li Qingling relaxed his expression and waved her over, asking her to come over for dinner.
Li Qingning quietly exhaled, and giggled as she climbed up to her position.
After dinner, she went back to her room and told Four Joy not to tell anyone about them going up the mountain, or they would be in trouble.
"Don"t worry, miss. I won"t tell anyone." She carefully looked at Li Qingning, "Miss, do you still want to go up the mountain?" She had followed the young miss up the mountain today, which had scared her heart out of her wits. She really didn"t want the young miss to come up the mountain again. What if something happened?
When Li Qingning thought about the half-dead person on the mountain, she couldn"t help but lightly nod her head and say that she wanted to go.
Hearing that, Si Xi panicked and advised Li Qingling not to go. If the Madam found out, she would be punished.
Most importantly, the Madam would definitely be very angry if she found out that she was helping the Third Miss.
She was living a good life here and didn"t want to be sold again.
Seeing Sixi"s pale face, Li Qingning patted her shoulder, telling her not to worry, she would not drag her down.
She couldn"t just ignore that person.
"Miss, can"t you bring that person back? Or perhaps the Lady will send someone to save him. "
"No." Li Qingning shook her head, "What if he"s a bad guy? You can"t bring him back. "
"Miss, if you are worried that he is a bad person, then why did you save him?"
Li Qingning walked around the room restlessly a few times before she asked with her small eyebrows, What if he"s a good person? If I don"t save him, he"ll die.
"..."
Being unable to persuade Li Qingning, Si Xi shrugged his shoulders. What if his wife and the others found out about it? Would he sell her out?
Li Qingning patted Sixi"s shoulder again, "It"s settled, the sky is falling. With me supporting you, you won"t be harmed." Her sister was not a person who did not differentiate between green and red. She would not vent her anger on Sixi.
Sixi sighed heavily, hoping so.
The next day, after eating breakfast, Li Qingning ran to the kitchen to steal some food, went back to her room, changed into Fourth Xi"s clothes, and sneakily left while no one was looking.
She sneaked all the way to the mountain, found the cave, stuck out her small head, and shouted towards the cave, "Big brother, are you still there?"
After a moment, a weak voice sounded.
Li Qingning ran into the room quickly, and seeing the big brother in black lying on the ground with his face flushed red, she was shocked. She touched his forehead, it was very hot.
"Big brother, you …" You are feverish. "
The black clothed man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Qingning, saying in a hoa.r.s.e voice, "I"m fine."
How could he be fine?
Li Qingning anxiously turned around and stuffed all the food that she had brought up into the hands of the black clothed man, allowing him to eat first.
Fortunately, she had learned how to identify medicinal herbs from her grandfather. Otherwise, she really wouldn"t know what to do anymore.
If she were to go home and get it, if her sister and the others found out, she definitely wouldn"t be able to come out.
"No …."
Without waiting for the black-clothed man to finish speaking, Li Qingning slipped away like a wisp of smoke.
The black-clothed man looked at Li Qingning"s back in complete silence. He really did not expect that one day, he would be saved by a little girl.
A stream of warmth flowed through his cold heart. He picked up the steamed bun that was still warm and slowly ate it.
Not long after he finished eating the bun, Li Qingning ran back with an herb in her hand. "Big brother, look, this is an antipyretic herb, hurry and eat it." As she spoke, she shoved the herb into the man"s mouth.
"..."
Seeing the black clothed man"s stupefied expression, Li Qingning chuckled, and said that they didn"t have anything to fry, and could only eat like this.
The man in black slowly chewed on the bitter herb in his mouth and forcefully swallowed it down. "Thank you."
"No need to thank me." Li Qingning sat down next to the black clothed man, supporting his chin with both hands, looking at the black clothed man"s handsome face, clucked his tongue twice, "Big brother, you"re really good-looking, even better than my brother-in-law."
The black clothed man looked up slightly and glanced at the laughing Li Qingning. He forcefully pursed his lips and asked her what was going on with her brother-in-law.
Maybe he was confused by the black clothed man"s handsome face, Li Qingning replied dumbly. Her brother-in-law was County Magistrate.
County Magistrate?
The black clothed man remembered this in his heart, looked at Li Qingning, and said: "You ran up the mountain, won"t your family be worried?" It was also because he was lucky that he met this little girl.
Hearing that, Li Qingning scratched her head and said softly that she came here without telling her family.
Thinking of her sister"s serious face, she twisted her fingers and told the man in black that she would find a way to bring him food at night. After saying that, she got up and wanted to leave.
The man in black quickly grabbed her hand. With a frown, he looked at her and told her not to come up at night. It was too dangerous.
After saying so, he was stunned for a moment. Why would someone as cold-blooded as him think for a little girl?
Perhaps this little girl had saved his life, and he didn"t want to see anything to happen to her!
"But you …"
"Be good."
Hearing such serious words, Li Qingning pouted her lips and said "Okay".
Seeing that Li Qingning had agreed, the black clothed man let go of Li Qingning"s hand. Li Qingning turned around and made a face at him, then ran away.
The black-clothed man waited for Li Qingning to leave before his expression returned to its usual indifference. He laid on the ground and closed his eyes.
After a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes and reacted in time to stop when he saw Li Qingning, "Why are you back?" Luckily, he was quick to stop. Otherwise, even if she didn"t die, she would still be injured.
Li Qingning, who had almost been injured, patted her chest. This scared her to death and she almost thought that she would be sent flying.
"I... I"ll go pick some herbs for you. You can have some later. " After saying that, she placed the herb on top of his body, turned around, and ran away.
Stealthily returning to his room, the moment Sixi saw her, tears began to flow down her cheeks, "Miss, you"ve finally returned." If she didn"t come back soon, she would die of anxiety.
Li Qingning patted the back of her hand, "What are you crying for? I came back safely, didn"t I? " She ran to the back of the screen and changed her clothes, "Sixi, no one came to find me, right?"
Sixi wiped her tears and shook her head, saying no.
Hearing that, Li Qingning heaved a huge sigh of relief, that was good.
