Chapter 11 It doesn’t hurt to eat more
Because they had a little girl like Long Baoer, they didn't move very fast along the way.
The brother and sister laughed and joked in the car for a while, then sat down again to eat snacks. They had just arrived ten miles outside the city.
At this time, the motorcade suddenly stopped.
The little girl blinked, "Brother, the car seems to have stopped?"
"Hey, it's true. Let me ask." Xue Lei pushed the cotton curtain open, "Dad, why did you stop?"
"It's okay, let's leave now!" A soldier came over and explained, and sure enough, the car continued to move forward quickly.
The car didn't stop much that day. On the way, they were thirsty and hungry. They had snacks and tea. Even though it was freezing and snowy outside, their small car was as warm as spring.
When the night was getting late, they finally stopped and checked into an inn.
The carriage was pulled directly to the backyard, and Xue Lei jumped out of the car and carried the tightly wrapped Long Baoer into the inn.
Because they were in a hurry, they missed the big town. This is an inn in a small town, with a small tavern in the front and a small second floor in the back, with a total of five or six guest rooms.
This is not small in a small town.
"Lei'er, I'll guard Long Bao'er tonight." General Xue followed behind, with a chill all over him.
"No, dad, I'll stay with my sister. Anyway, I can catch up on my sleep during the day." Xue Lei said without self-consciousness.
General Xue was furious.
He hasn't seen his little niece for a whole day, why don't you let him watch her all night? Why is this little brat so ignorant!
But this was not the time to argue with his son, "Master Dao, please."
Only then did Xue Lei see that behind his father, there was a Taoist master, the same one who saved his sister that day.
"Lei'er came to see Mr. Ma." General Xue and Mr. Ma sat down and said.
Xue Lei pulled Long Baoer forward and said, "Thank you, Mr. Dao, for rescuing my sister a few days ago. Xue Lei kowtows to you."
Xue Lei knelt on his knees and kowtowed three times.
Taoist Master Ma stood up to stop her, but was stopped by General Xue, "Originally, Long Baoer was supposed to kowtow to the Taoist Master, but the little girl is still weak, so I let him, the elder brother, take the place of my sister."
Xue Lei kowtowed and stood up. The little girl wanted to imitate him, but now all three men in the room stopped her.
Seeing Long Bao'er in his arms, General Xue felt distressed and said, "Long Bao'er doesn't need to kowtow. The ground is cold, so don't get cold."
"That's right!" Ma Daoye nodded in panic. After saying that, he looked at the little girl carefully and nodded with a smile, "Yes, her complexion is much better. As long as she takes care of herself for a long time, there will be no root cause of the disease."
"That's great." General Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Dao, it's not easy to ask too many questions on the road. I dare to ask you..."
"Hey, it's not like I had an unpleasant quarrel with the Taoist temple a few days ago. I'm going to walk north." Taoist Master Ma said and glanced at General Xue.
General Xue is a Taoist man, "It's better to go to the north. I'm familiar with the north. If Ma Daoye goes to the capital, I will recommend Ma Daoye to Yuntai Temple!"
Yuntai Temple is a palace temple, which is a Taoist temple funded by the royal family. People continue to offer incense all year round, and the incense is extremely prosperous.
"It's not urgent." Taoist Master Ma waved his hand.
"Taoist Master Ma, there is one more thing about Xue. Back then..."
"Are you asking the person who stopped Ji Zhong from suffocating the little girl? Yes, it was me too!"
"Thank you again, Taoist Master, for saving your life!" General Xue said gratefully.
If it hadn't been for Ma Daochang's words back then, by the time he found her, the grass on the little girl's grave would have been one meter high.
Even if he was beaten and abused, it was better to at least be able to breathe and look forward to his family than to be killed by that beast.
"Hey, the little girl and I are also destined, so there is no need to say any more words of gratitude."
General Xue nodded, not thanking him for his kindness. He was not a person who was good at saying thank you. Thinking that this Taoist master now had no place to stay, General Xue thought that he must send the Taoist master to Yuntai Temple.
With Taoist master's ability, he will definitely be able to stand.
When General Xue was chatting with Taoist Ma, the little girl kept looking in Taoist Ma's direction.
General Xue noticed this and couldn't help but laugh, "Long'er, do you think this Taoist's voice is familiar? You had a fever earlier, and it was thanks to Mr. Tao that he came to save your life. Come and thank Mr. Tao for saving your life." Grace."
The little girl said oh, in a milky voice, "Thank you, Master Dao, for your kindness."
How can a child understand what life-saving grace is? It is nothing more than imitation. Life-saving grace can only be learned from the kindness of an uncle. Just because of the word "uncle", she is most impressed now.
Taoist Ma and the Xue family father and son both laughed immediately.
"There is one more thing to trouble you, Master Dao. When Long Bao'er was born, she was short of months. Is there anything you can do to make up for it, Master Dao?"
"You don't have to worry about that. The little girl was born at full term." Taoist priest Ma said meaningfully.
General Xue didn't quite understand, but it was hard to ask any more questions.
After a day's journey, everyone ate quickly and rested. General Xue also took a hurried bath, drove his son out, and personally watched his niece sleep all night.
Fortunately, the little girl was very obedient, so she nestled in General Xue's arms and slept soundly all night without making any noise.
The next day, General Xue got up energetically, washed and ate, and continued to move forward with his people.
Don't forget that it only took ten days to see it, that's because we were rushing all the way.
But things are different now. A carriage cannot cover dozens of miles in a day.
Fortunately, there are still nearly two months until the New Year. Even if they go at the current speed, they will arrive in more than half a month.
After walking for another five or six days, Taoist Master Ma took the little girl's pulse, and then he was relieved and said, "Okay, you don't need to take medicine from today on!"
Long Baoer's little face suddenly lit up, and he raised his hands in circles, "Yeah, yeah, yeah! No need to take medicine!"
But within two turns, Long Baoer's face showed frustration again, and he looked pitifully at Ma Daoye, General Xue and his son in front of him, "Then, no need to take medicine? Are there no candies and sweet fruits to eat?" "
"No, you can still eat it." Xue Lei said with a smile.
"But you can eat no more than three a day." General Xue added next to him, "Children can't eat too much sugar, otherwise your teeth will turn black!"
"Then, I'll just eat this little bit." Long Baoer made a gesture as big as the tip of his finger, "This way it won't go bad, right?"
"Not anymore."
"That's good." The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother said that the tooth is broken and he won't be able to eat anything in the future."
Several people in the room laughed again instantly.
The little girl seemed to be paranoid about food because she rarely had enough to eat in the past.
I have never been picky about food, and I eat a lot, and there is never any leftover food.
Sometimes General Xue was afraid that the opponent would be stretched to pieces, but Long Baoer didn't feel like he was being stretched at all.
Instead, Ma Daoye smiled and encouraged, "Don't worry, the little girl is very talented, it doesn't hurt to eat more. If she wants to eat, just give it to her."
General Xue thought about it and stopped caring.
