An hour later, Old Man Xue pulled out the silver needles and went to the parlour. He asked Liu Zhimo with a frown, have they not found out who the mastermind is?
How could he be at ease with an enemy that was eyeing him covetously?
Liu Zhimo's expression was a little ugly, he shook his head and said, Not yet.
That person had swept his tail too cleanly, making it impossible for them to find him. However, he had already ordered the Liu Family soldiers to keep an eye on He Zhao, Wang Lin, and the others.
He suspected that He Zhao, Wang Lin, and the others were here, but he couldn't find any evidence.
"I have to find out as soon as possible. Otherwise, my home wouldn't be safe either."
"Investigating..."
Old Man Xue made a sound, and in a moment, threw this matter to the back of his head. He looked at Mr. Luo with interest, and asked him if he wanted to go for a walk on the mountain.
He was stimulated by the letter Mr. Luo wrote him. When he came to Ninghua County, he wanted to go for a walk on the mountain.
Mr. Luo's heart filled with joy. He pretended to be calm and collected as he looked at Old Man Xue, then looked at him and said indifferently: "Xiao Ling is the one in charge of the family. You need her permission before you can go up the mountain." Ever since something happened to Mo Er, she was not allowed to go up the mountain.
Now that the opportunity had come, he definitely couldn't let it go.
He couldn't wait for someone to lead the way!
Hearing that, Old Man Xue looked at Li Qingling and chuckled, "Girl, this old man has always wanted to make a trip to the Ningxia, you won't stop me, right?" He kept staring at Li Qingling, afraid that she would shake his head and refuse.
Li Qingling looked fixedly at Old Man Xue for a moment, and asked him, so what if they stopped him? Would he give up?
In fact, she really didn't want her family to go up the mountain. She was afraid that something might happen to them.
Liu Zhimo going into an accident alone was enough to scare her. If other people in the family had also gotten into trouble, then she …
Old Man Xue sighed heavily, and said while shaking his head, he only had that little wish of his, but never would he have thought, that there would be no way to fulfil it.
Shaking his head, he secretly glanced at Li Qinglin to see if she would let him go and let him play with her.
Li Qingling pretended not to hear his words, and leisurely drank his water.
"Sigh …" What a pity! " Old Man Xue let out another heavy sigh, which was especially loud, to the point that even Li Qingling was unable to hear it, "Ah … It's hard to live! "
Puff … - When Li Qingling heard this, he spat out the water in her mouth. She put down the teacup, wiped the corner of her mouth with the kerchief, and looked up at Old Man Xue. "Old man, you're not going to sing. Just these few words were enough for him to go around in circles a few times.
Old Man Xue acted as if he did not hear the mockery in Li Qingling's tone and continued to use a playful tone to sigh at his fate.
Li Qingling's head was spinning from Old Man Xue's argument. She frowned and asked Old Man Xue to stop, she agreed to let him go up the mountain.
"My life …" "What?" Old Man Xue looked at Li Qingling in disbelief, "Girl, do you really agree to me going up the mountain to play?" Could it be a lie? They agreed to let him go up the mountain so easily?
Helplessly rolling his eyes at him, Li Qingling snorted, "Is it because you don't want to go? "If you don't want to go, then I …"
"Go, go, go! How can I not want to go?" Old Man Xue impatiently interrupted Li Qingling's words, "This old man will pick up the delicious food for you." He rubbed his hands together in joy, wanting to show off his skills.
Mr. Luo thoughtfully looked at Li Qinglin. If he wanted to go up the mountain in the future, would he like to learn from Old Man Xue?
It looked pretty good!
"Cough cough …" Mr. Luo cleared his throat and said lightly: "Xiao Ling, Old Man Xue came from far away, how could he possibly come without anyone accompanying him? "I will accompany him up the mountain later!"
"..."
The corner of Li Qingling's eyes twitched, she looked at Mr. Luo with a smile that was not a smile. If he wanted to go up and play, he could just say it.
During this period of time, she had rejected countless requests from Mr. Luo to come up the mountain. Now that she had agreed to let the old man go up, how could he let go of the opportunity to go up the mountain together with her?
Mr. Luo felt that he had been seen through by Li Qingling, so he picked up his teacup in distress and took two sips to cover his embarrassment.
If you want to go up the mountain, you have to do everything you can, really. It was too sad.
"No need, no need. Luo Laotou doesn't need to specially accompany me. I will have the guards take me there." Don't think that he was unable to see through Luo Laotou's thoughts, heh … He was not as pleased as she was. Who told him not to help her?
Hearing that, Mr. Luo choked, why did Old Man Xue take him down? Couldn't you just go along with him? Didn't he want him to accompany him up the mountain to play at first? How could they just wait for Xiao Ling to agree and go back on his words?
He raised his head and quietly stared at Old Man Xue, and laughed out loud, saying, "It's boring going up the mountain by yourself, it's only fun if you have company." Then, he talked about the benefits of having company, trying to convince Old Man Xue to follow him.
Listening to Mr. Luo's long story, Old Man Xue looked at Mr. Luo a few times, suspecting that the person in front of him had been switched, how did the light Mr. Luo, who had suffered a stroke, become a long-winded old man?
Mr. Luo's saliva dried when he said that. He then drank two more sips of tea before asking Li Qingling, could he go up the mountain with them now?
Li Qinglin helplessly smiled and nodded, "Alright."
For the sake of the previous trip to the mountain, Grand Master had really gone all out. He had said so many words in a single breath.
If she did not nod, how long would he continue to recite these words to her?
Seeing that Li Qingling had agreed, Mr. Luo nodded his head, and in a moment he returned back to being the indifferent Mr. Luo.
However, after seeing his true face, no matter how much he changed, Li Qingling and the others would never be able to change back.
He was an old urchin, an old child. After playing for a while, he became overwhelmed, and liked to play even more than Li Qingfeng and the others.
Old Man Xue scoffed, he glanced at Mr. Luo, saying that he grinded it.
Mr. Luo said that he learned it from him.
"..."
Old Man Xue was speechless, was it his fault? Blame him?
After Mr. Luo finished drinking a cup of tea, he stood up and lightly stroked his clothes, saying that he was going to prepare a basket.
When he thought about the basket that Mr. Luo prepared last time, Li Qingling's eyebrows jumped and he hurriedly spoke, "Grand Master, you should prepare a basket as well. Don't prepare so many as last time." Last time was really too exaggerated, I almost moved the entire Ningxia back.
Hearing this, Mr. Luo frowned unhappily. How could saying a basket be enough? Instantly, it was full.
Li Qingling said that at most two.
"Three..." Mr. Luo raised three of his fingers, and said with a determined tone, "I need to at least bring three baskets, one for prey, one for wild vegetables, and one for fruits …" The more the merrier! Unfortunately, Li Qingling did not allow him, so he could only compromise.
Li Qingling took a deep breath and acknowledged helplessly, emphasizing once again, there could only be three, there definitely could not be more.
"Alright …" Mr. Luo nodded and walked out of the parlour in large strides. He wanted to share this good news with the children and make them beg Li Qingling to see if they could play on the mountain.
Old Man Xue looked at Mr. Luo's back, and thought for a while. Could it be that Ningxia really had a lot of things to pick up, and wanted Luo Laotou to bring along three baskets to haggle with the girl?
Then should he bring two extra baskets?
He looked at Li Qinglin, cleared his throat, and said that he would also take the three baskets with him.
In any case, it couldn't be less than Luo Laotou's.
Knowing that it would be like this, Li Qingling calmly nodded his head and said it was fine.
She could not let Old Man Xue feel that she was biased against him.
Old Man Xue chuckled twice, stood up, quickly chased after Mr. Luo, and followed him to get the basket on his back.
Finally, it was quiet. Li Qingling exhaled, turned and looked at Liu Zhimo, then shrugged his shoulders and said: "In the following days, my house will be very lively." With two old men present, there was no way for them to calm down even if they wanted to.
Liu Zhimo leaned over, and poked her nose, "Watch out, those kids are coming for you." Those children knew about Mr. Luo and the others going up the mountain, how could they not want to go along with them?
"I'm mentally prepared." Li Qingling also thought about it, "It's not that I don't want them to go up the mountain, but I'm afraid that something bad might happen to them. After all, I don't even find the person hiding in the shadows, I'm afraid that he might make another move." How could they not understand her concern?
"I understand. Let the guards and guards follow them. Nothing will happen, so don't worry too much." Liu Zhimo strongly shook her hand, "The person who is hiding in the darkness will not make a move for a short period of time, unless he wants to expose himself."
"I hope so."
At this time, the few children in the house ran in and surrounded her with laughter. They spoke in unison: "Do they want to play in the mountains with Mr. Luo and the rest?"
Li Qingling raised his eyes, and said indifferently, what's so interesting about this mountain?
"Elder sister, there are a lot of delicious things on the mountain. I'll go and pick them up for you to eat." Li Qingning rolled her eyes, and looked at Li Qingling fawningly. "Big sister, I will follow grandfather and the others closely, I will not walk around carelessly, you can rest assured."
Liu Zhiyan continued, "Sister-in-law, I will take good care of them. I won't let anything happen to them, it's true." His serious expression almost made him swear to the heavens, "Sister-in-law, can you let us go up the mountain to play?"
Thinking about the mountain full of delicious food, he almost drooled.
"All of you must follow Grandpa and the others when you go up the mountain. You can't just walk around randomly, do you understand?" Li Qingling lowered his voice, looked at the children, and said: "Once I find out who is disobedient, then in the future he will not be allowed to go up the mountain to play."
Several children were standing in unison as they loudly replied, "Yes."
Li Qingling pursed his lips and let them go. After that, she called Ling Yi over and had him choose a group of guards and servants to protect Old Man Xue and the others.
Ling Yi agreed.
After sitting for a while, Li Qingling was still worried. He pulled Liu Zhimo to the backyard and let the Black and White follow Old Man Xue and the others up the mountain to protect them.
The Black and White reassured Li Qingling, they will definitely protect Old Man Xue and the others.
The moment he heard about going up the mountain, he excitedly circled Tiger and said that Tiger also wanted to go up the mountain to catch prey.
Tiger also wanted to let a little earlier independence, so he nodded in agreement.
