In the past few years, Li Nian and his wife have never given up looking for a doctor who can cure three terminal diseases. Every time they look for it, they are full of hope, but every time they come back disappointed.
Li Qingyan had seen too much and was naturally disappointed, so he instinctively suppressed his hope and instead had the idea of giving up on himself.
It can't be cured anyway, so why bother with it anymore? It's better to just let nature take its course.
"Of course you can be cured if you are stupid. I never lie to others."
Li Qingyan stared at Li Man'er, and infinite strength and hope suddenly surged in the little boy's heart.
No one had ever told him that the three incurable diseases could be cured. Every doctor who saw him shook his head and sighed, looking desperate. Only his cousin firmly told him that he could be cured and would definitely cure him.
If his illness is cured, his parents won't have to worry anymore. He will grow up well, learn various skills, and protect his sister.
"I know." Li Qingyan lowered his head and ate snacks pretending not to care, but in fact he already had an idea in his mind.
Li Man'er was quite satisfied with the result. As long as he was willing to pay attention, he would be able to feel the changes in his body in a short time.
After all, Li Qingyan was young and had some health problems. The boat and carriage were so tiring and bumpy that he dozed off after a while.
Li Man'er flattened the stool, spread the blanket prepared by Zi Yan, and said to him: "You go to sleep for a while, I will call you when we get to the place."
"I'm not sleepy, it's okay." He didn't want to sleep at first, but his eyelids gradually became heavier and heavier, so he had no choice but to obey.
Seeing that he was asleep, Li Man'er took out a piece of soothing incense and lit it. This incense made Li Qingyan sleep more peacefully and soundly. Only by eating well and sleeping well can he be in good spirits and be able to better cooperate with himself.
treat.
It was getting late, and the motorcade traveled dozens of miles and finally arrived at an inn.
For some reason, there were not many people in the inn, and all the servants fell asleep on the table.
Li Nian slammed the door loudly, "Is anyone there?"
A servant dressed in soap trotted over and said, "Sir, would you like to eat or stay in a hotel?"
Li Nian knew the rules, so he handed his badge to the man and said: "We are a group of seventeen people, prepare meals, rooms and hot water, and quickly feed the horses."
The man looked at the badge carefully, then handed it back with both hands, "It turns out to be General Li. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please come in and I will make arrangements for you."
This man had a sweet mouth. Civil servants were all called "sir" and military generals were called generals. Li Nian didn't take it seriously and took the lead in entering the store.
Prior to this, Li Nian had already made a travel plan, arranging for three people to stand guard in groups, taking turns to eat and watch the night.
Don't think that everything will be safe at the inn. If something goes wrong, it will happen.
Li Maner and Li Qingyan got out of the car together and walked side by side to the store.
"Big..." Li Qingyan just wanted to call Li Man'er, but thinking that she was now pretending to be a man, he changed his words in time: "Brother, why did I sleep for so long?"
"Maybe you're tired?"
Li Qingyan sat on the table and said in high spirits: "But I usually fall asleep on the way, and when I wake up I have backache, but today is different, I slept very well."
Of course it's the soothing incense.
"You have slept for a few hours, so you are naturally well rested."
When Li Nian heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and came over and said, "You were arguing about riding a horse earlier, but with your physical strength, you can't stand it for half an hour."
Li Qingyan was very unconvinced.
Li Man'er said: "You are still young and your physical strength needs to be strengthened. Take your time and you will get better day by day."
While we were talking, the store brought the food to the table.
The dishes are ordinary, and the taste cannot be compared with those at home. However, after everyone has traveled all day and only ate some dry food at noon, now that they can eat hot meals, the taste is not so important.
Li Man'er drank a few mouthfuls of soup and bit into the steamed buns. She looked like a very hungry teenager, completely disregarding her appearance as she devoured food very quickly.
When Liu Ya saw it, she couldn't help but nodded secretly.
If Li Maner eats too elegantly, it will not match her dress.
Everyone was tired after a long day and ate very quickly. After some people finished eating, they went to change the companions on guard and let them come in to eat.
Liu Ya came over quietly again and said softly: "Master, the room has been tidied up. I have checked it in person. There is no problem. However, I have to feel wronged that the master will share the same room with me tonight."
"You don't have to worry about these things when you go out."
Li Man'er smiled, thinking that Liu Ya had asked about her dislike of getting too close to others before.
Liu Ya nodded, "My servant will take you upstairs, and then go get the hot water."
Li Man'er said hello to Li Nian, then clasped his fists in salute and went upstairs.
Li Nian took his son back to the room, closed the door and asked, "Qingyan, what do you think of your cousin?"
Li Qingyan said: "He looks cold, but he is warm-hearted. On the way, I was also taking a test on my son's memorization formula at school."
"Your cousin is very thoughtful and far smarter than the average person. Did you notice that she just saluted?"
Li Qingyan thought that Li Man'er was only good at holding fists, and then suddenly realized, "Father, you specifically told me this..."
Although he is young, he is not stupid, so he naturally knows that his father's words must have profound meaning.
"You are lucky enough to be in the same sect with him. It is truly a blessing from God. You must study hard and practice hard to not let down your cousin's wishes."
"Yes, my son knows."
Li Nian was finally satisfied, "Okay, let's go to bed early."
"Dad, I slept all the way and I'm not sleepy at all."
"It's a cold day, what else can you do if you don't sleep, hurry up."
"Then, at least wash your face? Wash your feet."
Li Nian frowned and said, "Well, we don't have these things in the north. It's common in the army not to take a bath for ten days and a half. You are my son, Li Nian, so you must be a strong-willed man. Don't give it to me."
Learn what the young masters in Beijing do."
Li Qingyan could only say: "Yes, my son knows."
The two men went to bed, and Li Nian's snoring soon sounded on the bed.
It’s deafening!
Li Qingyan couldn't sleep, so he simply closed his eyes and memorized the formula silently.
The inn, which was originally peaceful, became crisis-ridden in the second half of the night.
A dazzling flame streaked across the night sky and landed on the haystack behind the inn.
Fires shot into the sky and thick smoke billowed.
The stable was right next to the fire, and the horses were choking on the smoke and neighing, struggling desperately to get out.
"It's gone."
"No, it's gone."
Everyone upstairs and downstairs woke up.
Li Man'er was originally sleeping with her clothes on. She opened her eyes immediately, but found that Liu Ya beside her was also awake.
The two of them got up at the same time, put on their shoes, packed what they could carry, and ran downstairs quickly.
Many people rushed out of the room, including Li Nian and his son.
