Although Li Qingling was hot, her body was still very weak. Liu Zhimo did not allow her to do anything, so he let her rest.
The old man kept his promise and stayed for two days. After Li Qingling's condition improved, he gave her another medicine list and was about to leave.
As Li Qingling looked at her white hair, his somewhat lonely back, she instantly thought of her grandfather from her previous life. At that moment, her nose felt a little sore.
She said gruffly, "Where can an old man like you go at a time like this? It's not like my family can't support you. " Although she wasn't a good person, she wasn't the kind of person to just stand there and watch her die!
After spending two days with this old man, other than his mouth being a bit sloppy, he was still doing pretty well in other areas.
Moreover, at this time, having a doctor at home was a very fortunate thing.
Just like this time, she was the one who got sick. She relied on her will to persevere.
What if, unluckily, the other children in the family were sick? They might not be able to make it.
She wanted to keep the old man here for the sake of what was most likely to happen.
The old man's hand that was carrying the basket on his back paused, raised his eyebrows, and turned to look at Li Qingling. He said in a lowly voice, "You little girl, you want to treat this old man as a free doctor, right?" After interacting with these children for two days, he realized that although Li Qingling seemed like the cold-hearted person, she was actually the softest.
Li Qingling coldly snorted, "Do you want to stay or not?" With that, she turned around and ignored the old man.
The old man stroked his beard and laughed heartily. "You don't want me to stay, but I will. You will die of anger if you do." Li Qingling was right, at a time like this, where could he go?
If he went out, he might be taken away or killed.
It was just that he had agreed to stay here for two days to help Li Qingling treat his illness, so when he felt that her condition had improved, he decided to leave.
When he saw that there was not much food left in the house, he felt embarrassed to stay.
Now that Li Qingling had spoken, he also pitied these children, and felt that it would be better to have an adult by his side, so she changed her mind.
If he stayed here, he wouldn't fight with these children for food. He would think of a way to get food for himself.
Seeing that the old man stayed behind, the children cheered happily.
Although he hadn't been with the old man for long, the children still liked to stick close to him.
When Li Qingling saw this situation, she was astonished. Because she had lost his parents long ago, the children were very cautious towards outsiders, very rarely would they stick to a stranger who was not very familiar with them. It had only been two days, and the old man had already captured their hearts.
But it also showed that he was not a wicked man, or the children would not have clung to him.
Li Qingning and Liu Zhirou each held onto one of the old man's leg, allowing him to take them out for fun.
In these two days, the old man would take them out for fun and tell them stories. They really enjoyed it.
The old man stretched out his hands and rubbed the heads of the two microdot s, bringing them with him as he walked out.
Li Qingfeng and the other two boys also followed him out. They liked to hear stories from the old grandpa too.
Yesterday, the old grandpa had not finished telling his story yet, and they still wanted to continue listening.
"She was so easily tricked that she didn't even know she was being kidnapped." After they had all left, Li Qingling finally crawled back up and scolded them.
Liu Zhimo looked at her, and smiled, "Don't worry, they won't be tricked that easily." The old man was a different case.
Li Qingling walked over to Liu Zhimo's side and saw him looking at the herbs seriously, "Why are you being so serious? You're not going to be a doctor. " She picked up an herb and fiddled with it.
For the past two days, she had seen him identifying herbs, and had asked the old man if he could not.
The old man didn't try to hide it, he would answer every question seriously and even teach him how to prepare the ingredients.
Liu Zhimo said without raising his head, this was also done just in case. After this experience, I really don't want to experience the feeling of being powerless again.
One time is enough.
Only then would he seize this opportunity to learn more from the old man. This way, if he encountered this kind of situation again in the future, he would be able to deal with it easily.
Li Qingling's heart was stung, her eyes looked at his serious face, and she felt her nose sour. This time around, her sickness really frightened him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have such thoughts. However, it was good to learn a few more things, so he could defend himself.
Thinking of this, she sat down on the ground and lowered her head to identify the herbs the old man had picked.
"Get up, don't sit on the ground." Liu Zhimo reached out and pulled her up, "The ground is too cold, I can't just sit down." He went to get a wooden bench and put it behind her, then sat her down.
Blinking, she felt that he was stronger than before, that he was going to keep an eye on her, but inside, she felt sweet.
She sat on the stool and propped her chin up while looking at him. After some discussion, she said, "I feel much better today. I don't need to drink any more medicine." She really suspected that this old man was plotting against her, and that the medicine was extremely bitter.
When she finished it, she felt like she was going to die.
"No." His attitude on this matter was very firm. "We'll just drink for two more days, then we won't drink anymore, alright?" Sensing that his tone was a bit heavy, he softened his tone and coaxed her.
Li Qingling pouted, "It's the poison of the medicine, even if I'm not sick, I'm going to get sick from drinking." However, this era did not have pills. If there were pills, she would have swallowed them without a second thought. Why would she need to bargain with others here?
"Nonsense." Liu Zhimo lovingly pinched her nose, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Your body is really not fully recovered yet. If it was, I wouldn't have forced you to drink the medicine. "Don't worry me, huh?" He had taken those pills before, and they were truly bitter, so it was no wonder that she refused to take them.
Looking at his gentle face, Li Qingling silently cursed in her heart. This person had used a pretty boy to trick her again.
And yet, she wasn't able to resist his mannerism at all. The moment he used it, she would obediently nod her head.
Reaching out to push his handsome face away, she helplessly said, "I know, I'll drink it for two more days. After two more days, I won't drink it even if I die."
She really didn't want to touch such a bitter pill.
He rubbed her head and said yes.
"Zhi Moge, there isn't much food left in the house. After two days when I'm better, we'll go to the cave and bring some back."
Hearing that, Liu Zhimo frowned, "I will go myself, you rest at home." Previously, she had been unable to rest well and had overdrawn his body, causing his to fall ill.
This time, no matter what he said, he had to let her take good care of her body, so that such a situation wouldn't happen again.
"How much can you move alone?" Li Qingling said in disagreement, "Besides, I wonder if any of the soldiers of the Southern Swallow King have discovered that place? It would be safer if I were to go. "
He was not very familiar with the Matsuyama. If he were to meet the Southern Swallow King's men, he didn't know how to choose his way. If she were to go, he was confident that he could avoid her.
Looking up, Liu Zhimo met her eyes a few times. Seeing her resolute attitude, he let out a sigh, telling Ah Huang to scout ahead. If there's no danger, you should follow along, right?
She was so stubborn. If he rejected her, she might secretly go there. That would be even more dangerous.
If that was the case, he might as well agree and let her follow him. At the same time, he felt more at ease.
As soon as Li Qingling saw that he had agreed, she smiled and made two sounds of acknowledgement.
She could be more at ease with Tiger to scout the way.
"Alright, go rest!" Liu Zhimo pushed her and told her to rest. Seeing that her mouth was opened to object, he said, "Your health is not good, you cannot go."
Hearing that, Li Qingling was so discouraged that she lowered her head, obediently stood up, and went to rest.
Although there were many things that he would condone for her, but matters concerning her body, he would not compromise.
It was both sweet and painful.
In her previous life, she would never have imagined that she would be spoiled like this by a boy who was not even an adult, right?
In modern times, a twelve-year-old child was still in primary school and didn't know anything. In ancient times, a twelve-year-old boy was considered a young adult. Some of them were even married.
Li Qingling instantly felt like an old cow chewing on a fresh grass.
She lay there thinking and thinking and falling asleep.
Liu Zhimo turned his head and glanced at her. Seeing that she had fallen asleep, he laughed as he stood up and covered her with the blanket.
Seeing that there was no one around, he mysteriously lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Then he gently caressed her cheeks, as if he had done something bad. With a slight blush, he turned around and walked out of the cave.
As soon as he walked out of the cave, he saw an old man not far away, who was carrying a person on his back.
With a frown, he walked over with large strides, only to discover that the old man's body was heavily injured. The wound was still bleeding, and he had already fainted a long time ago.
"Grandfather, who is he? Do you know him? "
The old man nodded his head as he gasped for breath. "I do. Little Mo brat, quickly help me. Otherwise, this old bone of mine will break under the pressure." This person was extremely heavy, he was about to be crushed to death by him.
Liu Zhimo did not bother to ask anymore, supporting the man off the old man's body, the two of them each held one of his hands, and dragged him towards the cave.
"Xiao Feng, Little Yan, Big River, the three of you clean up the bloodstains on the ground." Liu Zhimo walked a few steps, then turned his head and told the three of them.
If the blood was not cleaned, not only would it attract wild beasts, it would also attract enemies.
The old man also nodded quickly, allowing Li Qingfeng and the others to clean up the bloodstains, so that they wouldn't be discovered.
He thought about it worriedly in his heart, afraid that Liu Zhimo would bring about a fatal disaster to these children, that he would be able to injure them to such an extent.
