Chapter 2046 Surprised Discovery
Traveling at night was very risky. Long Xiao and his close associates were afraid of any accidents on the road, so they were always vigilant.
At dawn, when he saw the tired faces of his brothers, Long Xiao asked everyone to stop and rest.
Everyone was relieved when they heard the news. They parked all the trucks loaded with goods on the side of the road and found a suitable place to sit down and rest.
Ji Liangqing, Wang Goudan and others were also very tired, so they found a place to stop the car at the back, got in and prepared to rest.
Mrs. Ji was worried about this group of people. She happened to be older and didn't sleep much on weekdays, so she went outside to watch to prevent anyone from doing harm to them.
The men in the family all went back to catch up on their sleep.
At noon, everyone slowly recovered, and Long Xiao sent someone to call Doctor Liao to check Master Long's pulse.
Dr. Liao went over to carefully diagnose Master Long's pulse. After a bumpy night, Master Long's face looked a little uglier than before, but the overall pulse condition was still good.
Almost as soon as Doctor Liao withdrew his fingers from Master Long's wrist, Long Xiao couldn't wait to ask:
"Mr. Liao, traveling at night will have no impact on my father's health, right?"
Although Long Xiao has a ruthless personality, he is really kind to his father and can indeed be regarded as a filial son.
As soon as he regained consciousness, he asked Dr. Liao to check his father's pulse. He was still so concerned about whether the journey would affect his father.
Dr. Liao said truthfully: "It still has an impact. Judging from Master Long's pulse, it is obvious that he did not rest well, but his body is still relatively stable, and it has a good impact on his condition."
Maybe it's because the bumpy road is not as good as being at home. Mr. Long is a light sleeper. Without looking at his pulse, you can tell from his face alone that he didn't sleep well last night and he has heavy dark circles under his eyes.
When Long Xiao heard this, the look on his face instantly became very worried.
He cast worried eyes on Master Long, his eyes switching back and forth between Doctor Liao and Master Long, as if he wanted to ask something.
"It's okay." Just a second before Long Xiao seemed about to speak, Master Long spoke.
Although he is still ill, his eyes are very clear, and there is a light of wisdom in them:
"I know my health well. We have been delayed on the road for so long this time. After getting ready every day, you can make arrangements to rush on. We can't delay it any longer."
He was too ill to do anything before, and he didn't have the energy to force his son to set off.
At least things are getting better now. If we don't hurry up and hurry up, the arrival date of the goods will be delayed.
Long Xiao pursed his lips, looking very confused.
But looking at the persistence on his father's face, he finally said nothing and nodded:
"Dad, I understand. You can rest in peace and recuperate. The rest of you have sons."
These words were very heartwarming. Master Long showed a smile on his face and nodded.
Then he turned to look at Dr. Liao and nodded: "Mr. Liao, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you along the way."
Trouble along the way?
Even if Dr. Liao knew that the Ji family was planning to escape, there was no way he would be exposed.
At this moment, he showed no emotion on his face, nodded and said: "Master Long, you're welcome."
After getting off the carriage, Doctor Liao did not return to the Ji family immediately. Instead, he told Master Long's cronies how to take care of Master Long.
Long Xiao had been chattering with his cronies not far away. Doctor Liao couldn't really hear what they were saying at first, and he wasn't interested in listening to their conversation.
Later, I don’t know what happened, but the two of them looked more and more anxious, as if they had encountered a very difficult matter, and they took two steps closer to Dr. Liao.
Doctor Liao's position was close to the pallet with the goods. After the explanation, the confidant turned and left. Doctor Liao was about to return to Ji's house, when he suddenly felt that something seemed to be revealed around a corner.
He turned around and saw that the cloth covering the cart had been lifted up due to the rush, and he could just see a box inside.
This box is ordinary, but due to bumps on the road, the edges of the box have been worn a bit, and there is a large gap.
Although Dr. Liao is old, he thinks he is not yet dim...
He clearly saw that the box was full of gold bars.
And if he wanted to go back to Ji's house, he had to pass by this cart.
As they passed each other, Dr. Liao unconsciously lowered his head and looked carefully.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, after all, escorting gold bars is not uncommon for escort agencies.
The problem was that when he looked at it, he suddenly discovered the mark on the gold bar.
Dr. Liao's previous identity was very special. This mark, which was unknown to others, was like a thunderclap to Dr. Liao.
If he hadn't still had some sense in him, he would have been shocked right now.
Fortunately, he noticed that Long Xiao had been looking here intentionally or unintentionally when he was passing by the trolley. He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and walked towards Ji's house with a normal expression.
"Little Lord?"
The confidant who reported the matter to Long Xiao saw that Long Xiao suddenly turned his attention to another place, and couldn't help but froze his face and asked tentatively.
Long Xiao withdrew his gaze, and the doubt on his face suddenly disappeared: "Continue."
The confidant didn't waste any more time and immediately continued talking.
This way.
After Doctor Liao left Long Xiao's sight, he quickly returned to the Ji family, his posture could be described as embarrassing.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Shiliang has been sitting on the ground waiting for the master since Doctor Liao passed away.
He was worried that his master would be bullied again, but he couldn't go with him, so he could only sit on the ground and be the first to greet his master.
This was the first time he saw his master in such a panic and embarrassment. He thought that the master was being bullied again, and he couldn't help but look very angry:
"Did they bully you again?"
Doctor Liao was too tall for Ji Shiliang. At this moment, the little boy raised his head and looked at his master, his expression full of admiration and anger.
Doctor Liao felt warm and touched his head: "No."
As he said that, he looked around: "Where is your grandma?"
When Ji Shiliang heard that his master had not been bullied, his face showed joy. At this moment, he replied:
"The milk is in the cart!"
Doctor Liao nodded and got on the bullock cart without saying anything. He just asked Ji Shiliang to play with his brothers, and he didn't usually do much exercise.
Ji Shiliang nodded in agreement and watched his master get on the bullock cart.
Not long after Dr. Liao entered, he seemed to be talking to Mrs. Ji inside.
Ji Shiliang only saw his own breasts. After a while, he stuck his head out with a normal expression and greeted himself:
"Shiliang, go and call your uncle, your uncle, and your father."
Although Ji Shiliang didn't understand why, he still nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
