As soon as she heard the old man's words, Li Qingling's heart skipped a beat, and she asked the old man how long it would take to get to the capital from here?
The old man thought for a while, and said that it would take at least more than a month to go from here to the capital and take a carriage normally!
The last time Zeng's father-in-law came to him in a hurry, and he drove all night, and he didn't know how many horses had died, and it took ten days to arrive.
For someone like him who rides in a carriage, and he is not particularly in a hurry, it will take more than a month.
"And when are you coming back?"
As soon as the old man heard Li Qingling's words, he was a little uncertain, "As for when I will come back, I don't know very well." "It depends on the emperor's mood, if the emperor is in a good mood and doesn't force him to stay in the capital, he can come back early, if the emperor is in a bad mood and doesn't let him go, then he can't help it."
Thinking of this, the old man couldn't be the master, Li Qingling frowned, "Then you have to be careful all the way, rest when it's time to rest, don't be reckless." "The old man is old, and he has to sit in the carriage for so long, and she is really worried about his body.
Finally heard Li Qingling say soft words, the old man's heart didn't mention how happy, he reached out and wipeed his beard, and nodded with a smile.
"I know, I won't joke with my old bones."
He still wants to come back to take care of these children, how can he not care about himself.
Seeing that the old man didn't look like a messy person, Li Qingling's heart was slightly relieved.
But when she thought that the old man didn't know when he would be back, her mood was a little low.
At this time, the village chief hurriedly ran with the original villager.
As soon as he ran to Li Qingling and the others, and when he saw the old man, he gasped and asked, "Zhimo, is this the doctor who lives in your house?" ”
Liu Zhimo saw the village chief's body tossing and turning, he quickly reached out to support the village chief, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, I haven't told the village chief Grandpa before, Grandpa Xue, he is an imperial doctor, and half a month ago, he was sent by the emperor to Shuangyang County to treat the plague, and he only came back after the plague was cured." He heard that the old man was an imperial doctor before, and he was also quite shocked in his heart, but he didn't expect him to save a big man as soon as he rescued him, "Grandpa Xue is still in a hurry to enter the capital to face the saint, please trouble the village chief Grandpa to be accommodating, let him enter the village, he..."
Before he finished speaking, the village chief hurriedly spoke, hurry in, hurry in...
The village chief also finished saying this, and his heart trembled again, and the villagers stopped the adult here, hoping that he would not be angry.
"The people in the village don't know your identity, so it's really sorry to stop you here." The village chief knelt down in front of Imperial Doctor Xue, "Please also have a lot of them, don't worry about the grass people." ”
When the two villagers saw that the village chief was kneeling, they were so frightened that they knelt down and begged the old man for mercy in a trembling voice.
They never thought that they would stop a big man casually.
But when Liu Zhimo told them, they didn't take it to heart, and continued to stop people here, which is really a sin.
The old man hurriedly helped the village chief up, and called the two villagers up.
"Get up! Don't be polite to me. The old man smiled, "I'm not at home, and the children in the family have to have a chance to take care of them more." ”
Although Liu Zhimo is smart, he is still a child after all, and he can rest assured that he can be taken care of by the adults in the village.
When the village chief heard this, where did they dare not be, they nodded again and again and said that they would take care of Liu Zhimo and them.
"The old man is here, thank you." The old man didn't care about it, so he directly wanted the village chief and them, and his action scared the village chief and them a lot, and they almost knelt down again.
They are just ordinary people, where can they afford to be wanted by adults?
The old man was really scared when he saw them, and his time was also urgent, so he smiled and said to them, "The old man's time is really running out, go home first to see the other children, and wait for the old man to come back, and then talk to a few people." ”
"If you have something to do, go and get busy first, and the grass people won't bother you."
"Good..."
Seeing that the old man nodded, the village chief explained two words to the two villagers before walking away.
The two villagers left the road and let Liu Yi drive the carriage into the village.
The old man and Li Qingling returned home, and as soon as they returned, he asked Li Qingling to quickly boil a pot of water and let him take a bath, he hadn't taken a good bath for most of the past half a month.
When Li Qingling heard this, he nodded in response, turned around and went into the kitchen.
When she had boiled the water and was about to call the old man to take a bath, she heard laughter in the hall.
The corners of her mouth hooked, the old man was not at home during this time, and the atmosphere at home was a little depressing, and at this time, it was finally better.
"It's okay, old man, hurry up and take a bath!"
As soon as she entered the hall, she called out to the old man, and when the old man heard this, he stood up.
"You guys are playing here now, grandpa will take a bath, and then come out to play with you."
"Okay, grandpa, let's go!"
Seeing the children so happy, I thought that the old man hadn't told them about it, and he was going to enter the capital to face the saint, if the old man said it, the children would have cried.
The old man, also in order to buy more time with the children, took a combat bath, changed into clean clothes and ran out.
At this time, he has already taken a shower and changed into clean clothes, so he can hold a few children with confidence.
"Oh, grandpa's little heart, do you want grandpa? Grandpa wants to kill you. The old man hugged Li Qingning in his left hand and Liu Zhirou in his right hand, and asked them with a smile.
The two little guys are very face-saving, and they all think about it obediently.
Just such a simple sentence coaxed the old man into laughing so much that he couldn't see his teeth.
He has never been married in his life, has no children or daughters, but he is related to these children, and he really treats them as his own grandchildren.
But when I thought that he was going to leave for so long, my heart was even more reluctant.
"Imperial Doctor Xue, it's not too early, it's really time for us to leave." Liu saw that the old man was so happy, and he stubbornly interjected a sentence.
He really didn't want to interrupt, the old man got along with these children, but there was really no way, the emperor was still waiting!
As soon as they heard Liu Yi's words, the eyes of several children looked at the old man and asked him where he was going.
The old man also knew that he couldn't stay any longer, he smiled and touched the heads of several children, "Grandpa has something to leave for a while, and you guys have to listen to your brothers and sisters obediently at home, you know?" ”
As soon as his words fell, several children were unhappy, and their mood was low again, "Grandpa sneaked away before, and he came back just now, do you want to leave again?" ”
Last time, the old man left overnight, and the children were asleep, so they didn't tell them about it, and when they were going to find their grandfather the next day, Li Qingling told Liu Zhimo that grandpa had something to do and would come back soon.
But the children waited for more than half a month before the old man came back, this time he came back, he was leaving again, and the children were in a bad mood again.
When the old man saw the children's red eyes, his heart was even more uncomfortable, if it weren't for the fear that the emperor would be unhappy and condemn him, he really didn't want to go to the capital.
"When grandpa finishes this matter, he will rush home immediately and accompany you well, okay?"
"Then grandpa, when will you come back and how long will it take?"
This question stopped the old man, and he didn't dare to speak casually and make a promise with the expectant eyes of the children.
He could only smile slightly bitterly and say, this grandfather can't say for sure.
He thought about it for a while, and then explained the matter to the children, if he didn't explain it to the children, he was afraid that the children would resent him and dislike him as a grandfather.
Then he really won't gain more than he loses.
The two little guys didn't understand the old man's words very well, but the three boys of Li Qingfeng, who were a little older, understood.
Knowing that the old man is a face saint, he can't shirk it.
They could only endure the reluctance in their hearts and help the old man coax the two little guys who did not give up.
The two little guys were coaxed by the brothers for a long time, and then they nodded unwillingly, and jumped out of the old man's arms, but their little mouths kept talking, and they kept telling the old man that they must come back early.
Looking at these children who cared so much about him, the old man's eyes were a little red.
He smiled and touched the children's heads, and his mouth should be answered, he will definitely try to come back early.
For the sake of several children, he didn't want to stay in the capital.
He is a lonely man in the capital, so it's really not interesting, so it's better to come back early to play with this child!
"Okay, okay, grandpa has to hurry, don't delay grandpa's time." Liu Zhimo interrupted the children's words, "Let grandpa go early, and grandpa will be able to come back early." ”
If he let the little ones continue talking, he felt that the old man would not have to go tonight.
The old man also knew that he couldn't continue to delay, he stood up and looked at Liu Zhimo and Li Qingling, "Grandpa, I don't know when I will come back?" The family is left to you, take good care of yourself and the children, don't let me worry, you know? ”
Li Qingling nodded obediently with Liu Zhimo and said that he understood.
The old man frowned, reached out and rubbed his chest, I don't know why, I always felt very uneasy in my heart, like something big was going to happen?
Because of this uneasiness, he babbled a lot of words, and it was not until Liu Yi urged him again that he had no choice but to stop and leave with his baggage.
What he didn't expect was that his premonition really came true, Li Qingling and the others really encountered something big and almost died.
