Lian Qing had already finished talking to the middle-aged man, turned around, and smiled at Li Qing surrounded by several children, and a thick gloom flashed in his eyes. The middle-aged man stepped forward and scolded the children, and said with a simple smile:

"This son, please sit in the room."

Li Qing stood up with a smile, nodded, and watched Sang Zhi and Mu Tong drive the horses and carts to the back of the house. Fang took Sanya's hand and walked to the house with Mama Zheng and Lian Qing.

The room seems a little empty, there is a big kang coiled against the wall in the east, and a few half-person-high bamboo baskets are placed against the wall in the west, only the kang is a place to sit in the house, the middle-aged man rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, and let Li Qing on the kang, Li Qing walked to the kang with a smile, took off his shoes and sat on the kang inside, the middle-aged man seemed to be relieved, Sanya ignored his father's glare, squeezed to Li Qing's side and sat down, the second dog looked at his father, and slowly rubbed from the corner of the kang to Li Qing and sat down. The eldest girl is in her teens, standing against the kang, looking at Li Qing stupidly.

Sang Zhi took a burden, Mu Tong came in with a black lacquer box, Mama Zheng stepped forward to take the box, Lian Qing said to the middle-aged man with a smile:

"Brother Wang, I have to ask you for some boiling water and make a bowl of tea for our son-in-law to drink."

Brother Wang hurriedly shouted:

"Big girl, quickly ask your mother to brush the pot and boil a pot of boiling water."

The eldest girl rushed out, Li Qing beckoned Mama Zheng to take the box, opened it, took a package of jujube mud cake, a package of lotus mushroom cake and a package of pea yellow, put it on the kang table, and asked Sanya and Ergouzi with a smile:

"Which one do you like to eat?"

Sanya and Ergouzi stared at the snacks on the table, swallowed their saliva "Goodong", and looked at Li Qing longingly and shouted happily:

"They all love to eat! They all love to eat! ”

Li Qing smiled and hugged the two of them:

"Then eat the same!"

Turning around, he stretched out his hand and pulled the big girl who was leaning against the kang and was looking at it and said:

"You can sit down and eat too."

The eldest girl hurriedly threw off the straw sandals and got on the kang, Brother Wang's face was flushed, and he was about to speak, but Lian Qing pulled him and said with a smile:

"Our son just likes children, don't be surprised by Brother Wang."

Brother Wang hurriedly waved his hands and said "where, where", Lian Qing continued:

"Brother Wang, can you find a few small pestles for us to sit down?"

Brother Wang agreed, hurriedly went out, brought a few small benches in, and sat them down for Lian Qing, and after a while, a timid shout came from the door:

"Dad."

Mama Zheng hurriedly got up and followed out of the door, and after a while, a middle-aged woman with a yellow face and a thin woman carrying a child behind her back, carrying a big clay bowl followed Brother Wang and Mama Zheng into the house, seeing Li Qing, a little cramped and uneasy, Mu Tong hurriedly stood up, took the clay bowl in the hands of the middle-aged woman, and sang Zhi smiled and said:

"Sister-in-law of the Wang family, please sit on the kang."

Sister-in-law Wang was a little at a loss, Li Qing straightened up, bowed slightly, and said:

"Sister-in-law Wang, please sit here, I see that your face is not good, are you sick?"

"My mother has been sick for a long time, my brother is also sick, and it is not good to be old, and my mother and father have cried several times at night."

The eldest girl hurriedly replied, and Mama Zheng smiled beside her:

"That's really a coincidence, our son-in-law is from a family of doctors, don't look at his young age, his medical skills are good, just right, let our son-in-law give the sister-in-law and the little son of the Wang family a diagnosis."

Li Qing smiled and beckoned the sister-in-law of the Wang family to sit over, the sister-in-law looked at Brother Wang in disbelief, Brother Wang looked at Lian Qing hesitantly, Lian Qing smiled and said:

"Our son-in-law's medical skills are very good, maybe he can cure the illness of his sister-in-law and his little son."

Brother Wang nodded at Wang's sister-in-law, Mama Zheng stepped forward to help her untie the child on her back, and hugged her in front of Li Qing, Li Qing opened the quilt, it was about a year old, so weak that he didn't seem to be crying, Li Qing pressed his finger on the side of his neck for a while, untied his clothes, and looked carefully, Sister-in-law Wang had already sat on the kang, Li Qing smiled at her slightly, took her hand and carefully checked the pulse, for a moment, said with a smile:

"It's not a big illness, it's just a little cold, it's been depressed in my heart, I haven't sent it out, I'll find some pills, you can take it a few times, this child, it's not a big deal, but it's because my sister-in-law is not in good health, the milk is worse, the child doesn't eat well, and I cry a little sadly, I leave some medicine, and I can get better after half a month, but my sister-in-law's body is too bad, I have to make up for it this winter, your body is better, the milk is good, and the child is naturally better."

Sang Zhi hurriedly went out to get a bag and came in, Li Qing found two blue and white porcelain bottles, one large and one small, and gave them to the sister-in-law of the Wang family, and said to Lian Qing:

"Uncle Qing took twenty taels of silver to Brother Wang, this winter, buy big meat every two days, hens, pork, mutton, at least two catties at a time, stew thick soup, let my sister-in-law eat this winter, sister-in-law and children will be fine."

Brother Wang took the silver, looked at Sister-in-law Wang with some confusion, then looked at Mama Zheng, and looked at Li Qing, Li Qing motioned for him to put the silver away, and continued with a smile:

"Brother Wang, don't be stingy with this silver, the body of your sister-in-law and the child is the most important!"

Brother Wang nodded desperately and said:

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know that my heartache is for my daughter-in-law and child, I know."

There was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves on the road outside the door, Lian Qing stood up with a "whew", Li Qing's face was a little pale, and he forced himself to calm down and motioned to Mu Tong to go out and have a look, Mu Tong quickly went out and entered the house again, nodded at Li Qing, Li Qing straightened up, smiled and said to a few children:

"Is it okay for us to play a game that doesn't talk? After a while, whoever speaks will lose, and those who lose will no longer be allowed to eat snacks. To play or not to play? ”

Several children were busy nodding, Li Qing raised her head and looked at Lian Qing with complicated eyes, Lian Qing nodded at her, patted Brother Wang's shoulder, and pulled him out of the door, Mama Zheng sat next to the sister-in-law of the Wang family, gossiping with her in a low voice.

Outside the door, there was a polite question from the guard, looking for a twelve, thirteen-year-old girl, Lian Qing replied respectfully, they were staying at home yesterday, because the old lady was not very comfortable, ready to go on the road later, the person the guard said had not seen it, Brother Wang's honest voice was confirmed by the side, the door was pushed open, a guard probed half of his body and came in, Li Qing leaned down, several children looked at the guards curiously around the kang table, and Mama Zheng sat on the kang with a peaceful expression and talked to Wang's sister-in-law. The guard smiled and asked:

"Have you seen a little girl?"

The children didn't speak, they shook their heads together, and the guard smiled and turned around and went out. After a while, the sound of horses' hooves was far away.

Li Qing let out a sigh of relief, looked at the sister-in-law of the Wang family with some doubtful eyes, and did not explain, only said with a smile:

"Sister-in-law's illness is just a loss, and it is not a disease, so if you treat this disease, please forget about it, if anyone asks, don't mention it."

Lian Qing had already entered the house with Brother Wang, and Brother Wang listened to Li Qing's words and said solemnly:

"Don't worry, we know the importance and the good!"

Li Qing got up and got off the kang, thanked Brother Wang, and turned around and instructed Lian Qingdao:

"Let's eat something and hit the road."

Half an hour later, Li Qing and his party returned to the road to Yushan Town, and they never met anyone on the way. In the evening, outside Yushan Town, Lian Qing instructed Sang Zhi to go to Yushan Town to inquire about the situation, Sang Zhi entered the town, carefully inspected and inquired, and there was nothing abnormal, and his heart was a little calmer, and he went to the largest inn in the town, and Fuxiang Lao Hao booked three upper rooms. Lian Qing got the reward and pressed the itinerary until the twilight was thick and he couldn't see the figure clearly, then he entered the town and arrived at the inn.

In the dark, under the dim light, Li Qingyin quietly slipped into the inn behind Mama Zheng, Lian Qing and Mu Tong, and hid in the house.

In the middle of the night, there was a hustle and bustle outside, Li Qing woke up suddenly, Mama Zheng also opened her eyes, held Li Qing in her arms, and patted Li Qing gently, Li Qing buried her head in her arms, without words. There was a chaotic sound of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of doors opening and closing, the rough scolding of several men, and the innkeeper's repeated reassurances, moving over this way.

Soon arrived at their door, Li Qing heard Lian Qing's laughter, and several men seemed to be polite:

"Brother also has no choice, the top has issued an order, to find a twelve or thirteen-year-old little girl, not only our Yushan Town, this town within a radius of 100 miles has to go through a sieve again, the top said, if it is found out, it is from our Yushan Town or injured a little bit, our brother's life will not be saved! The shopkeeper's forgiveness is one, no matter what, you have to check it clearly! ”
