On the day they left Ninghua County, the citizens of the Ninghua County surrounded the county magistrate's mansion.
After Liu Zhimo and the others came out of the residence, they followed them all the way to the dock, calling them to take care.
Liu Zhimo turned around and looked at the citizens of Ninghua County. With reddened eyes, he lifted his hand and made a gesture to the commoners. He said loudly, "Fellow villagers and elders, please take care." It had been five years, and he was especially grateful to the citizens of Ninghua County for their support. He did not disappoint them and led them to live a life of luxury and warmth.
Hopefully, in the future when he has the chance to come back to the Ninghua County, the changes in the Ninghua County will be even greater, and he will be even more prosperous.
"Lord, take care."
"Lord, have a safe journey."
"Lord, we will miss you."
"My lord …"
The common folk of Ninghua County could not bear to part with Liu Zhimo. If not for Liu Zhimo, they would still be living a life where they could not eat their fill or wear anything warm.
It was all thanks to Liu Zhimo that they were able to have what they were today.
But they also knew that Liu Zhimo's term of office was up, and he would not stay any longer.
All they could do was sincerely bless Liu Zhimo, wishing him better and better.
Liu Zhimo quietly took a deep breath, suppressed the sobs in his throat, strongly patted Magistrate Ma's shoulders and said in a deep voice, "I will leave the Ninghua County to you, I hope you do not forget your first wishes, and bring the citizens over."
Magistrate Ma raised his hand to wipe the tears at the corner of his eyes, and nodded strongly, saying that he would not let down his expectations.
"I believe you." Liu Zhimo looked deeply at the commoners once more, before resolutely turning around and boarding the boat.
"Xiao Feng, Xiao Yan, when we have time, we will go to the capital to look for you." "Don't forget to write us a letter."
Li Qingfeng nodded to Liu Zhiyan, they would not forget.
They couldn't bear to part ways with their five years of playmates.
"Xiao Feng, Little Yan, let's go." Li Qingling stood on the boat and urged Li Qingfeng and Liu Zhiyan, "Be well-informed and study properly, see you in the capital city next time."
Upon hearing Li Qingling's words, Scholar Wen De obediently responded. He couldn't help but tear up as he watched their little buddy get on the boat.
As the boat slowly left the shore, the citizens of Ninghua County raised their hands and waved at Liu Zhimo and the others, shouting, Master, take care!
Liu Zhimo also raised his hand and waved it hard, until he could no longer see the citizens of Ninghua County, and then put it down.
Knowing that he was not feeling well, Li Qingling held his hand, interlocked her ten fingers, and comforted him by saying, "We can come back to take a look when we have time."
"Alright …"
He pinched Li Qingling's fingers tightly, and then looked in the direction of the Ninghua County. Turning his head, he saw the three tigers and one wolf lying on the boat, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Are you guys seasick?" Why are all of them so dispirited?
He looked up at Liu Zhimo and moaned twice. He was extremely wronged.
He did not expect it to be seasick.
The boat was floating and it didn't feel safe at all. Its head suddenly felt dizzy.
Li Qingling laughed out loud, "I'm feeling a little seasick. Tiger and the others are fine, there's no symptoms of seasickness right now." She hadn't expected that he would feel seasick.
Not long after they boarded the ship, they saw it grunt uncomfortably.
"It was told to run back to the Ox-Head Village, but it refused. It deserves it." Liu Zhimo was a little sympathetic. Before he left, he was afraid that they would become seasick, so he discussed things with them and let them run back to the Ox-Head Village. However, they refused him and insisted on following them.
After making two more sounds, it was so dizzy that it couldn't escape no matter how much it wanted to.
Tiger felt that this smelly brat had completely lost his face, so he didn't look at him anymore. He turned around, hugged Little White and went to sleep.
When the Wolf King saw it, he sneered and said that it was useless.
"Awoo, awoo, awoo …" When you get seasick, I will definitely repay you well.
The Wolf King proudly raised its head and said, "It's not that useless, it won't …"
Before he could finish, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, causing him to get up, lie on the railing, and vomit into the river.
Now, he began to mock the Wolf King even more. He even started to vomit after saying that it was even more useless.
The wind and water swirled around. After the Wolf King finished vomiting, it lay on the boat in frustration and did not make a sound.
"Luckily you ran fast, you didn't vomit on the boat, do you want to throw you off?" Li Qingling couldn't help but pat the Wolf King on the head, "Do you know what 'retribution for evil' means? for you to laugh at others? "
The Wolf King looked at Li Qingling aggrievedly, and turned its head, not wanting to pay any more attention to her.
A woman who knows how to be biased, hmph...
As if it could see through its thoughts, Li Qingling comforted it a few more times. When it saw that it was happy, it followed Liu Zhimo to the cabin.
"Grand Master, what are you doing?" Seeing Mr. Luo and the others excited, Li Qingling asked curiously.
Without waiting for Mr. Luo to speak, Xiaoxiao was the first to speak, saying that they were going fishing.
Fishing?
Li Qingling raised his eyebrows and gave them a thumbs up, "Go for it, whether there are any fish for lunch or not, it all depends on you." There wasn't much to do on the ship anyway, so it was good for them to spend their time fishing.
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao and the others became even more excited.
Li Qingling smiled, walked to Madam Lu's side and started chatting with her.
After living together with Li Qingling for a few years, Madam Lu was extremely fond of Li Qingling, her grandson's wife.
If you like her, that's normal. Li Qingling also liked the Madam Lu, but don't underestimate her. When the Madam Lu played with her, it was easier to let her go than to play with others.
Old kid. Old kid. It was vividly displayed to the three elders of their family.
She would indulge them and think they were happy.
"When I return to the capital, my days will not be so easy!" The Madam Lu patted the back of Li Qingling's hand, "If there's anything you can't do, you must come and find Grandmother. Grandmother will give you some advice." After living in Ninghua County for a few years, she had grown fond of Ninghua County's life.
When he returned to the capital, he would have to spend the next few days showing gratitude again.
Just the thought of it made him feel somewhat vexed.
Li Qingling also knew that after returning to the capital, there would be no longer be a comfortable life like the Ninghua County. He would have to deal with all kinds of relationships and won't be able to stay at home.
These are inescapable and must be learned.
"Alright, if there's anything I don't understand, I will definitely ask grandmother for it." She smiled and nodded, "If Grandmother doesn't want to deal with others, you can go to the manor outside the capital to stay. This time, when you go back, Tiger will stay in the manor and won't be able to go back to the capital." Tiger and the others said that they would follow them back to the capital. They could not stay there, so they could only stay in the manor. The manor was close by. It was convenient for them to hunt in the mountains.
"That's great. We can play on the mountain with them."
"..."
Hearing this, the corner of Li Qingling's eyes twitched, that sentence should be the main point right?
Grandmother was also led astray by Grandfather, who liked to run up the mountain to play.
Elder Lu didn't see Li Qingling's expression, and continued to speak excitedly. He could also bring her grandson and granddaughter out for a stroll on the mountain, and bring them to pick wild fruits and hunt …
The corner of Li Qingling's eyes twitched even faster.
She couldn't stop these old kids, or they would bore her to death.
At this time, a burst of exclamations came from the bow of the ship.
When Li Qingling heard this, he realized that they had caught a fish.
Hearing that, the Madam Lu became interested, stood up and said that she wanted to go out to take a look.
Li Qingling supported her out and saw his jump in excitement.
Seeing them come out, he beckoned to them fiercely. "Mother, this is too grandmother. Come and see, we've caught some fish." Fish for lunch.
"Wow, who caught it?" Li Qingling looked at the one kilogram river carp and asked with a smile, "I can put some soup for you guys to drink at noon. It's fresh and sweet."
Xiaoxiao impatiently patted her small chest, saying that she had caught it.
Pa ji, Li Qingling kissed his forehead.
Xiaoxiao giggled, waved her small hand, and said, "It's nothing."
Madam Lu also praised him a little, "Awesome, stronger than you, Tai Laoye and the rest." It was no wonder that her great-granddaughter was so smart.
Tai Laoye, who was looked down upon, shot a glance at his wife. Holding in his breath, he swore to catch some fish for his wife to see.
Mr. Luo and the others were not willing to lag behind, they focused all of their attention on looking at their own hooks, and were prepared to use their skills to catch big fishes.
Under their secret competition, they had a fish feast at noon lunch, cooking and cooking. All sorts of methods made Mr. Luo and the others eat until their stomachs were full.
Ever since then, Mr. Luo and the others would go to the bow of the ship to fish every day. After eating fish for three to four days, Li Qingling became afraid.
Afraid that they would continue fishing endlessly, she warned them that she would not eat whoever caught them.
Hearing this, Mr. Luo and the others thought for a moment, then helplessly put down the fishing hook, and stopped fishing.
They only enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment brought by their fishing, so they did not want to continue eating the fish. After eating the fish for a few days, they also became afraid.
Without the activity of fishing, Mr. Luo read the books and wrote big words to the kids.
On the fifth day, their boat docked, and they prepared to take a carriage back to Ox-Head Village.
She looked at the unfamiliar place with a little curiosity and asked Li Qingling, "Mother, did you and Daddy grow up here?" She had heard her mother say that he hadn't come.
Li Qingling hugged Xiaoxiao and nodded his head. Then, he went to recount their past.
After saying that, she patted Li Qingling's arm with a pained heart, "Father, mother is so amazing." She didn't think that her parents' life in the past would be so bitter.
Compared to her parents' lives, she was much happier and had everything she wanted.
"Do you understand now why your father and mother let you do your own thing?"
Xiaoxiao nodded, then said that she understood.
