The old man went away for more than half a month, and no news came back. Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo were very worried, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces, for fear of worrying the children at home.
On this day, Li Qingling sat at the gate of the yard with a stool, looked at the entrance of the village, frowned and said, "I don't know what's going on with the old man?" Is the condition very difficult? Let the old man be helpless.
Liu Zhimo was standing next to her, and when he heard her words, he stretched out his hand and rubbed her shoulder, "The situation is unclear now, and we can't just go out and inquire, we can only wait." Since more than half a month I told the village head before that when a plague happened in Shuangyang County, the village would send people to guard the entrance of the village in turn every day, and no one would let people in and out casually.
This is also to prevent someone from bringing the plague into the village.
Li Qingling sighed and said, that's all.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Qingning rushed over, lay on her back, and asked her in a childish voice, "Sister, are you waiting here for grandpa to come back? When will he come back?" I miss him so much." She felt that she hadn't seen grandpa for a long, long time, but she missed him.
Li Qingling reached out and patted Li Qingning's little butt, and answered her with a smile, "Soon, when grandpa finishes his work, he will be back." This little guy would come to her every day to ask her when grandpa would come back
She had to take the trouble to answer her every day.
But today the little guy is not so easy to be fooled, her little arms hugged her neck, her little head leaned on her shoulders, and she pouted and retorted, "Sister, you lied to me, you said the same before, but grandpa They didn't come back." My sister would fool the children.
"..." After this little guy spoke sharply, her little mouth became more powerful, and she chattered non-stop all day long.
It's not so easy to coax her. Look, everyone says she lied to her now.
"Grandpa didn't come back because she hasn't finished his work. As long as he finishes his work, he will definitely come back." Li Qingling glanced sideways at the little guy, and coaxed her softly, "We Just stay at home and wait for grandpa to come back, okay?"
Hearing Li Qingling's words, the little guy felt a little depressed, she sighed like a little adult, nodded helplessly and said, okay!
Seeing her like this, Li Qingling felt annoyed and amused, she pinched the little guy's nose, laughed and scolded her for being so young, why are you sighing? Like an old woman.
"It's not an old woman, my sister is really bad." The little guy pouted and twisted her little body.
When Li Qingling heard this, he smiled softly again, "Then who was sighing just now? Huh?" This little guy didn't know who he looked like, he was already a ghost at a young age.
"I don't know, who is sighing, I didn't hear it!" While talking, the little head shook his head and looked around, as if looking for who was sighing.
"Naughty ghost." Li Qingling helplessly patted her little butt again, "What are you doing, brother and sister? Why don't you go play with your brother and sister?"
As soon as he heard it, the little guy shook his head like a rattle, saying that his brothers and sisters were writing, so they couldn't be disturbed.
Upon hearing the little guy's adult-like words, Li Qingling's heart softened into a puddle of water, she grabbed the little guy off her back with her backhand, hugged him directly into her arms, bowed her head and kissed the little guy's cheeks Face, "Oh, ours is obviously awesome, but you know not to disturb your brother and sister's writing?"
As soon as the little guy heard Li Qingling praise her, she smiled and straightened her little chest, "Of course." That's what the big brother told him, and he couldn't disturb the brothers and sisters when they were writing.
She is a good child, and she listens to her brothers and sisters very much.
"Awesome!"
Li Qingling slapped and kissed her little face twice.
It may be because there are no parents. The children in the family are obedient and sensible, which makes people feel distressed.
At the same time, she also felt very proud in her heart. The child she brought up was so well-behaved and sensible, which no one else could envy.
The little guy giggled when Li Qingling kissed her. She raised her little head and kissed Li Qingling's face twice. After the kiss, she wanted to jump out of Li Qingling's arms and go to the study to see her brother and sister write big characters. Is it gone
But before she could act, a carriage drove up from the entrance of the village.
As soon as Li Qingling saw the carriage, she hugged the little guy and stood up. She stared hard at it, "Brother Zhi Mo, do you think the old man is back?"
"Don't worry, go and have a look." Liu Zhimo shook Li Qingling's hand, and strode towards the entrance of the village.
The two villagers who stayed behind at the entrance of the village saw a carriage approaching. They held back their timidity and stopped the carriage.
"Who are you? The village can't come in casually now."
The driver was Liu Yi who came to pick up the old man that day. As soon as he saw the posture of the two villagers, he frowned, opened his mouth, and was about to scold the two villagers when the old man leaned out of the car. Here comes the head.
As soon as he leaned out, Liu Zhimo saw him, and he called out in surprise, "Grandpa..."
"Boy Mo..." As soon as the old man saw Liu Zhimo, he yelled with a smile and jumped out of the car.
He looked at the two villagers and said, "You two, I live in Zhimo's house, can you let me pass?"
Liu Zhimo, who rushed over, heard the old man's words, and quickly echoed, "You two uncles, he is indeed a grandfather who lives in my house, not an outsider." After a pause, "He is an imperial doctor. , left more than half a month ago, the emperor asked him to treat the plague, now that he is back, the plague should be cured as well."
As soon as they heard that it was the imperial doctor, or the imperial doctor invited by the emperor to treat the plague, the two villagers felt their hearts pounding. They swallowed and asked repeatedly if Liu Zhimo was real
Liu Zhimo also knew that they were cautious for the good of the village, so he replied with a smile, you can ask the village chief's grandfather to ask, the village chief's grandfather also knows about this.
"This..." The two villagers looked at each other, but for the sake of caution, Liu Zhimo said apologetically, "That... I'm sorry, please wait a moment, I... I'll ask the village chief."
As soon as a villager finished saying this, he ran away in a hurry.
"What's the matter?" The old man looked at the villagers, then turned to look at Liu Zhimo, and asked him, what's going on
Liu Zhimo explained the matter with a smile, and as soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingling ran over with the little guy.
She asked suspiciously: "Why are you still standing here? Why don't you go home?" She waited and waited at the door, but when they couldn't come back, she couldn't help but ran down.
"I can't go back until later." Liu Zhimo glanced at the embarrassed villagers who stood aside, she immediately understood, hummed, and didn't insist on going back.
After all, this is the rule set by the village chief. If she breaks this rule casually, it is equivalent to slapping the village chief in the face.
Doing so is a bit bad.
"Grandpa, give me a hug..." Seeing that the longing grandpa had returned, the little guy turned into a little twist in Li Qingling's arms, and wanted the old man to hug her.
When the old man saw the little guy, he also missed him very much. He stretched out his hand and wanted to hug him, but then he thought that he had come out of the plague area, and he might have a lot of germs on his body, so he immediately retracted his hand. Smiling to comfort the little guy, "Wait for Grandpa to go back and take a shower and change clothes before hugging Ningning!"
Children's bodies are weak, if they are infected with germs, they will get sick.
Seeing that the old man retracted his hand again, the little guy flattened his mouth, "No, I miss grandpa, hug her..." Grandpa hasn't come home for so long, and she didn't hug her when he came back, she felt wronged .
"Ning Ning, good boy, grandpa will hug you later!"
"Don't make trouble, if you want to get sick and take bitter medicine, let grandpa hug you!"
As soon as she heard that her grandfather was about to take a very bitter medicine in her arms, Li Qingning's little hand retracted all of a sudden, shaking her little head desperately, saying, don't take the bitter medicine.
When the old man heard what Li Qingling said, he widened his eyes and said in a buzzing voice, "Don't scare Ningning casually, if she doesn't kiss me later, I will beat you up." After scolding Li Qingling, He smiled and explained to Li Qingning, "Ningning is good, Grandpa, now the clothes are dirty, so I can't hug you. After Grandpa takes a bath, I can hug Ningning after changing clothes."
Hearing this, Li Qingning nodded with a smile, "Okay, wait for Grandpa to take a shower and change clothes before hugging Ningning." She waited for Grandpa to finish.
"Doctor Xue, time is short, you..." Liu Yi endured and endured, but he still couldn't hold back, and reminded the old man aloud.
The old man has cured the plague this time, and he has made a great contribution, and he is going to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit.
He ran back in a hurry this time because he thought that these children would be worried about him, so he thought of coming back to report to them and tell them.
"It's okay, there won't be much delay." Hearing Liu Yi's words, the old man waved his hands indifferently. He hasn't seen the other children yet, so how could he leave so soon
After Liu Yi heard this, he could only nod his head silently, not daring to persuade the imperial doctor anymore.
"Grandpa, you... are you leaving now? Has the plague not been cured?"
When the villagers heard Liu Zhimo's question, his complexion changed drastically and he took several steps back.
Liu Zhimo and Li Qingling glanced at him, said nothing, then turned their eyes to the old man, waiting for his answer.
"It's been cured, it's considered a meritorious service, and I'm going to Beijing to face the saint." The old man smiled to appease Liu Zhimo, "I haven't been back for more than half a month, I'm afraid you will worry, just before entering Beijing, come and tell me Say it to you."
