C374 face-changing

It raised its head, and opened its mouth to bite Li Qingling's sleeve. It used its strength to drag Li Qingling away, to stop him from talking, it was too embarrassed to look anyone in the eye anymore.

Li Qingling lowered his head and looked at it, and laughed while nodding its head, "Alright, alright, I won't say anymore." This little guy knows how to be shy. Seriously …

Hu Juanjuan smiled and changed the topic once again. She was afraid that if she continued to speak, the little girl would get angry to the point of embarrassment.

Knowing that Hu Juanjuan had good intentions, Li Qingling agreed.

Seeing that Li Qingling was not going to talk about it anymore, it happily snorted twice, then laid back on Li Qingling's lap again, and perked up its ears to listen to what they had to say.

It was almost noon before Hu Juanjuan finally took her leave and returned home.

Li Qingling watched Hu Juanjuan leave, and returned to the courtyard along with the others. During this time, the children all followed Mr. Luo out to write their lives, and without eating at home, she would not go to the dining hall to eat, but would usually eat in his room.

Not long after she returned to the courtyard, Liu Zhimo returned. Seeing his heavy expression, she worriedly asked him, "What happened?"

Did something happen?

Having been in the Ninghua County for so long, she had never seen his expression before.

Liu Zhimo sat on the chair, adjusted his expression, and shook his head.

It was obvious that something was up.

Li Qingling frowned, and asked him whether or not he had to keep the matter a secret, and not tell others.

"That's not it. I just don't want you to be bothered by it."

"Zhi Moge, I have nothing to do at home, if I were to even think a little, I would be a cripple." Ever since they became pregnant, they were all extremely nervous. They didn't allow her to do this, nor did they allow her to do that. She was on the verge of becoming depressed. "Tell me, let's see if I can help you."

Liu Zhimo looked at her for a long time before finally telling her the truth.

Hearing that, Li Qingling frowned: "Is there something wrong with Wutong Village?"

Liu Zhimo nodded, he had been investigating Ying Jie's case, and the more he investigated, the more he felt that Ying Jie's death was not that simple.

He definitely did not die by accident.

Although he had asked Ying Jie's family, and they insisted that Ying Jie died accidentally, he did not believe it. Thus, he continued to investigate secretly.

"Could Wutong Village be hiding some big secret? If Ying Jie accidentally saw it, wouldn't he be killed?" Li Qingling said arrogantly, he did not expect her to say this, and he suddenly sat up straight. He looked at Li Qingling with shining eyes and leaned over to kiss her.

"My wife, thank you for resolving my doubts." He stood up excitedly, looked at Li Qingling, and said apologetically: "I can't accompany you to eat lunch at noon, I'll make a trip to Wutong Village." After saying that, he quickly walked out of the room.

"Ai …" Li Qingling raised his hand, then helplessly put it down, "I can eat then go, it's really..." He didn't eat anything at noon, so he couldn't be hungry again?

She raised her voice and called out to Nian Xia, who rushed in and asked her what was wrong.

Li Qingling told her to go to the kitchen to pack her food and for Ling Yi to send it to the yamen.

Seeing that Li Qingling was in such a hurry, she nodded his head and responded. Then, he lifted his skirt and ran towards the kitchen.

Li Qingling sighed slightly. He was a little worried about Liu Zhimo, and he wondered if his trip would go smoothly.

As for Liu Zhimo, he made a trip to Magistrate Ma's home, called Magistrate Ma, and the two of them rushed back to the yamen together.

Magistrate Ma looked at Liu Zhimo's gloomy face. His heart was thumping hard, and he was wondering what had happened to him.

Liu Zhimo held his hands behind his back, frowning, he said that he wanted to make a trip to Wutong Village.

Going to the Wutong Village again?

Why is he going to the Wutong Village again? Master has left the Wutong Village several times, why is he still going?

Master, what is the purpose of going to Wutong Village?

"To see the will of the people." Before he thoroughly investigate this matter, he did not plan to tell Magistrate Ma his suspicions, which would scare him off.

Detect the public's will?

Master anxiously pulled him out just to go to Wutong Village to feel the public's will?

Why did he feel like the adults were lying to him?

Magistrate Ma tilted his head and glanced at Liu Zhimo, he scratched his head and swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth.

It was not easy to guess the thoughts of an adult, so he decided not to make wild guesses and just follow him.

Liu Zhimo glanced at Magistrate Ma, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as he quickened his pace to return to the yamen.

When the two of them returned to the yamen, ready to get on the carriage, Ling Yi hurried over, "Master, your lunch was brought here by Madam."

Hearing that it was Li Qingling who had Ling Yi bring over for lunch, Liu Zhimo's mouth raised slightly, extended his hand out, and took it, then turned and entered the horse carriage.

Magistrate Ma looked at the lunchbox in Liu Zhimo's hands in envy and jealousy, why didn't his wife think of bringing her lunch?

His lordship's fate is so good that his ladyship thinks of him all the time.

Seeing Magistrate Ma's grieving expression, Liu Zhimo smiled, opening up the small table in the carriage, he brought out the food, and then placed a pair of chopsticks in front of Magistrate Ma, "Come, let's eat." He wasn't a heartless person, so how could he let his subordinates starve?

Magistrate Ma waved his hand, "Master, you eat, I'm not hungry." After saying this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Since he hadn't eaten lunch, how could he not be hungry?

However, this was food that the Madam had packed for the adults. How could he eat it?

"Madam has prepared the quantity for two people." Liu Zhimo said indifferently, he stuffed the chopsticks into Magistrate Ma's hands, "Eat, if you don't eat, how can you have the strength to work?"

Work?

What do you want to do? Did the lord want him to help the villagers?

Magistrate Ma looked at Liu Zhimo with a misty look. Seeing that he was eating so sweetly, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and after a moment, he couldn't stand the temptation of the food and started to eat with his head lowered.

Liu Zhimo shot a glance at him, and bent his eyes. That's more like it!

After eating his fill, Magistrate Ma leaned on the side of the carriage, looked at Liu Zhimo, endured it, could not hold it in, and opened his mouth to ask, why would he go to the Wutong Village? Are we going to investigate Ying Jie's case?

Liu Zhimo closed his eyes, he did not open them, and continued speaking as before, observing the people.

Was he really someone who could see the public's will?

Magistrate Ma's mouth moved, he did not continue asking, and like Liu Zhimo, closed his eyes to rest.

After going to the Wutong Village, Liu Zhimo reached out and pushed Magistrate Ma. Magistrate Ma opened his eyes in a daze, looked at Liu Zhimo, and asked him what was going on.

The corner of Liu Zhimo's mouth twitched, and he became confused again.

"Wipe the saliva at the corner of your mouth."

With that said, he passed Magistrate Ma and directly got off the carriage.

Magistrate Ma wiped his mouth and realized that he had been tricked by Liu Zhimo when he realised there was no saliva on his mouth. His face flushed red as he followed his down from the carriage.

He did not expect that after sleeping for so long, if Liu Zhimo had not woken him up, he would probably fall asleep in the same manner as last time.

Magistrate Ma lowered his head in shame, and followed behind Liu Zhimo, not daring to make a sound.

Sigh... Sleeping so soundly in front of an adult over and over again, he really was …

Liu Zhimo ignored him, letting the villagers who came to welcome him stand up, telling them not to care about him, and to go back to work.

After the other villagers left, the village chief still stayed by Liu Zhimo's side, waiting for his orders.

After walking around the Wutong Village, Liu Zhimo told the village chief that he wanted to go up the mountain.

When he said those words, the village chief was shocked. He raised his head and looked at Liu Zhimo, "Big … Lord, this … There are wild animals on this mountain, you. "It's better not to go." What's so good about this mountain? Why did my lord want to go up the mountain?

Magistrate Ma also advised Liu Zhimo, don't go up the mountain, it was too dangerous.

What if something happened to my lord on the mountain? What about him?

This kind of dangerous thing, definitely could not be done by an adult.

Liu Zhimo said with a determined look on his face. He wanted to see whether the soil of the mountain was suitable for growing grain or not.

Planting food in the mountains?

This mountain is so high, how can we grow food?

The village chief frowned as he looked at Liu Zhimo. He felt that Liu Zhimo did not understand anything about crops, so he said those words.

Not to mention the village chief, even Magistrate Ma's eyebrows jumped a little when he heard it. What kind of medicine was Liu Zhimo trying to pull off?

How could he have been confused by this?

"It's not suitable for me to announce it now, you will know about it in the future." Liu Zhimo held his hands behind his back, with an unfathomable appearance, "I'll have to trouble you, village chief, to find someone who knows how to hunt to lead the way for me." He had to go up the mountain and take a look. If he didn't, he wouldn't be willing to do so.

The village chief saw that Liu Zhimo's attitude was firm, he nodded his head helplessly, and sent people to find someone.

The person who came was a middle-aged man. He would occasionally go hunting on the mountain and give some meat to his family. He was quite familiar with Mount Wutong.

After he greeted Liu Zhimo, he turned towards the village chief and asked him, "Why is the village chief looking for him?"

"Wood, Sir's group wants to make a trip up the mountain. You are more familiar with the Mount Wutong region, so why don't you take Sir's group for a walk."

Wood didn't say anything and just nodded his head in agreement.

Liu Zhimo turned and looked at Magistrate Ma, telling him to wait inside the carriage instead of following him.

Ah?

Don't let him go?

Magistrate Ma opened his eyes wide, saying that he would follow him.

Liu Zhimo sized him up and down, then said disdainfully, "Can a pile of old bones climb a mountain?"

With that, he left with the two bailiffs.

Magistrate Ma: "..."

He had been despised by the adults … Forget it... He had …

Is he old?

He touched his face and turned to look at the village chief. Am I old?

The village chief suppressed the smile on his face as he looked down and shook his head, saying that he wasn't old.

"That's right, where am I old?"

The village chief cleared his throat and was about to bring Magistrate Ma back to his house to rest.

Magistrate Ma waved his hand and said that there was no need, he could just go rest in the carriage.

He told the village chief to do his own thing as he returned back to the carriage to wait for Liu Zhimo.

Unexpectedly, while he was waiting, Liu Zhimo still had not come down from the mountain even when it was night time.

He panicked and climbed down from the carriage. He ran to the village chief and asked if the middle-aged man had returned.

Hearing this, the Village Head's expression changed, "Sir, you still haven't left the mountain?" Could something have happened?
