At night, just as Li Qingling and the others fell asleep, there was a knock on the door outside.
There was no way to cover up the loud rain, Liu Zhimo got up, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he met Li Qingling.
"It's so late, and I don't know who is here?" Li Qingling frowned. Hearing the urgent voice, it must be that something serious happened, right
Liu Zhimo reached out and patted Li Qingling's head, "Go back to sleep, I'll go out and see who's here."
"It's okay, I'll go with you to see who it is?" If there is any emergency, she can also help a little.
Liu Zhimo couldn't resist her, so he nodded helplessly.
The two were about to get the coir raincoat, but Ah Huang rushed out, and it was too late for Li Qingling to call for it.
Seeing Ah Huang instantly become a drowned rat? She smiled helplessly, quickly put on her coir raincoat, and strode out.
She rubbed Ah Huang's big head heavily, and told it, "Don't make a sound for a while, you know?" She was afraid that the people coming were from the village, and if they saw Ah Huang, they would definitely scare them of.
Ah Huang snorted, stared straight at the courtyard door with two big eyes, even his body tensed up, assuming a posture of attacking at any time.
"I'm not nervous, why are you nervous?" Li Qingling smiled again when she saw the idol so nervous, and patted Ah Huang on the head, "You hide on the side first, I'm going to open the door. "
However, Liu Zhimo reached out and grabbed her hand, and said very seriously, "I'll do it, you stand beside Ah Huang." He is a man, and he should do this kind of thing.
Li Qingling glanced at him with his head tilted, raised his eyebrows, and nodded in compromise at his insistence, and obediently stood beside Ah Huang.
After she stood up, Liu Zhimo asked the person outside the door loudly, "Who are you? What's the matter so late?"
The people outside the door paused for a moment when they heard the questioning, and then answered loudly in a sharp voice. He came to find Yuyi Xue under the order of the emperor, and told him to open the door quickly.
emperor
Doctor Xue
When Liu Zhimo and Li Qingling heard this, they looked at each other and frowned even tighter.
"Brother Zhi Mo, the old man's surname is Xue, right?"
She seems to have heard that the old man's surname is Xue before. Could it be that he used to be an imperial physician
That would be terrible, their family just picked someone up, whether it was an imperial doctor or a general, and they really didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse
"Yes, grandpa's surname is Xue." Liu Zhimo replied in a calm voice, "I don't know if what people outside are saying is true?" What if grandpa's enemies come here? He must be careful about this matter.
"What's your name, please?"
As soon as he finished asking, another voice rang out, "My lord, this subordinate is General Liu's bodyguard. I came here this time to ask Imperial Doctor Xue to come out of the mountain to save people." After a pause, "What happened in Shuangyang County?" There is a plague, the situation is urgent, I have to come to disturb you, I hope you will forgive me."
General Liu
Hearing this, Liu Zhimo's heart sank, "Please wait a moment, I'll ask Imperial Doctor Xue to come out." Without opening the door, he winked at Li Qingling and asked Li Qingling to call people.
Li Qingling nodded to him, turned around and quickly ran into the house, ran to the door of the old man's room, and knocked on his door.
"Old man, are you asleep? I need you urgently."
"What's the matter?" There was a chattering voice from the old man's room, presumably he got up after hearing Li Qingling's words.
Li Qingling quickly explained the matter, and as soon as she finished speaking, the door of the old man's room opened.
With a solemn face, the old man said to go and have a look, and strode towards the door.
Li Qingling quickly took off the coir raincoat and handed it to the old man. Once the old man put it on, he took the bamboo hat from Li Qingling's head and got into the rain.
He walked up to Liu Zhimo, patted him on the shoulder, and asked who it was
"Doctor Xue, our family is Xiao Zengzi!"
As soon as he heard Xiao Liuzi's voice, the old man recognized it, he stretched out his hand to open the door, and saw Xiao Liuzi and Liu Zhihao's bodyguard standing outside the door, "So it's Eunuch Zeng, sorry, come in quickly !"
Little Zengzi walked in trembling. As soon as he walked in, he was startled by Ah Huang who was staring at him covetously. He screamed and ran behind the old man, "This...how... There's a big bug?" This was simply terrifying.
Even the guard was frightened, and the sword in his hand was about to be pulled out.
"Don't be afraid, my family raised it, and it won't bite if you don't mess with it." The old man smiled and comforted him, "Come in first!"
Little Zengzi walked beside the old man and looked back at Ahuang, seeing Ahuang's eyes shining in the dark, his calves trembled even more.
He murmured in his heart, Yuyu Xue is really different from ordinary people, even daring to raise a big bug.
The old man took Xiao Zengzi and the guards into the main room. Li Qingling had already prepared the tea. The old man gave her an appreciative glance, waved his hand calmly, and told her to go back to sleep.
"Come, come, have a cup of hot tea to warm up your body." The old man pushed a cup of tea in front of Xiao Zengzi, "I don't know what to call this young hero?"
"The subordinate is General Liu's bodyguard named Liu Yi. The general sent his subordinates to lead the way because he was afraid that Eunuch Zeng would not know the way."
The old man nodded, got another cup of hot tea, pushed it in front of Liu Yi, let him drink it, and warmed up.
Once Xiao Zengzi finished his tea, he felt that his body was not so cold, so he took out an imperial decree from his sleeve, stood up, and read in a shrill voice: "Doctor Xue received the decree..."
The old man pulled Liu Zhimo who was standing aside and knelt down, "The minister accepts the order..." It stands to reason that he has retired and returned to his hometown a long time ago, he is no longer an imperial doctor, and should not be a minister.
But it was written in the imperial decree that Xue Yuyi, if he didn't call him a minister, it would be a slap in the face of the emperor.
He would rather offend anyone than the emperor!
There is no other way, so we can only follow along.
While the old man was thinking wildly, little Zengzi had already finished reading the imperial decree, which probably said that there was a plague in Shuangyang County, and he was asked to save people.
That girl Li Qingling asked him today, if there was a plague, would he go to save people
In the evening, he came to this job.
"Doctor Xue accepts the order!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The old man stood up after receiving the imperial decree, "Eunuch Zeng, shall we leave now?"
"Yes, let's go now."
Upon hearing this, the old man nodded and told Xiao Zengzi and the others to wait a while while he went to pack his clothes.
After all, he dragged Liu Zhimo back to the room. Once back in the room, the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at Liu Zhimo seriously, "Boy Mo, I don't know when I will be back after leaving this time." , the family will be handed over to you." What he was most worried about was the children in the family, but there was nothing he could do about it, the emperor's imperial decree came down, and he couldn't resist the decree, "Plague has already occurred in Shuangyang County. I don’t know if it will spread here? You have to take precautions, decoct the medicine left at home every day, and let the children drink it.”
The old man babbled and explained a lot of things, but Liu Zhimo couldn't interrupt, so he could only keep nodding his head.
It wasn't until the guards came to urge him that the old man stopped talking, quickly packed his clothes, held them in his hands, and opened the door.
Seeing Li Qingling standing at the door of the room, he was stunned for a moment before laughing again, "Ling'er, I'm leaving, and the family will be handed over to you and Boy Mo, take care of the children and wait for me to go home .”
Li Qingling pursed her lips, and hummed, "Old man, you have to be well, we are waiting for you to come back at home." Plague is not a joke, even a doctor can easily be infected.
The old man rubbed Li Qingling's head, nodded with a smile, and strode out.
Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo sent them to the gate of the courtyard and watched them get into the carriage.
"It's raining heavily, let's go back! Take care of the house." When the old man entered the carriage, he turned his head and waved to Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo, telling them to go home.
"Grandpa, take care too!" Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo said in unison.
The old man nodded and walked into the carriage resolutely.
It wasn't until the carriage was out of sight that Li Qingling's shoulders slumped.
She was really worried about the old man this time, and hoped that he would come back safely.
Liu Zhimo locked the courtyard door again, stretched out his arms to hold Li Qingling and walked back to the house, "It's okay, grandpa is a lucky man, he will be fine." He stretched out his hand to smooth her frowning brows.
Li Qingling leaned his head gently on Liu Zhimo's chest, and asked in a muffled voice, "Is Shuangyang County far from us?" If it was too close, there would be a high chance of the plague spreading in.
Liu Zhimo gently stroked Li Qingling's head, and replied softly, "Shuangyang County is the county next door to Anyang County." He knew Li Qingling's worries, which were also his worries, "Tomorrow morning, I will take this Tell the village head and grandfather about the matter, and he will advise him to add the village's precautions during this period, and not let the villagers come in and out casually." I hope this will play a certain role in prevention.
"Hmm..." Li Qingling nodded, and sighed softly. During this period of time, she has really experienced all the things that she has never experienced in her previous life, making her, who lived in a peaceful age, It's a bit unacceptable.
Think about the life in the previous life, and then think about the life in this life. This comparison shows how happy she was when she lived in a peaceful age in her previous life.
Liu Zhimo lowered his head and kissed Li Qingling's hair, "Don't think so much, I'm here!" He let go of her holding hand, took her back to her room, pushed her to bed, "Sleep!"
The sky is falling, and I'm holding it up.
Li Qingling looked at Liu Zhimo with wide eyes. At this moment, she found that he was a special man.
Unable to restrain herself, she got up, kissed him on the cheek, said goodnight, and lay down again.
Liu Zhimo's face turned red uncontrollably, he coughed dryly, pretended to be calm and said good night, then got up and strode away.
Seeing him like that, Li Qingling hid under the quilt and laughed sullenly. She felt that she was also very happy in this life.
