Chapter 148 Wait for me to come back from western Sichuan
Jia Luo lowered his eyes slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Third Brother, I will tell you about these things later, you just stay by Grandpa Ning's side and take good care of him!"
"What is it that even Third Senior Brother doesn't know?" Ning Qinghe frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"Third Brother, I will tell you later. I may need your help again. You must help me then!"
Ning Qinghe held Jialuo in his arms and said softly, "As long as you need me, Third Brother will always stand behind you!"
Jia Luo hugged Ning Qinghe's neck tightly, her eyes couldn't help but turn red again, she nodded vigorously: "Third Brother is the best, I like him the most!"
"Oh, you like the third senior brother the best again. I remember someone said a few days ago that you like the fourth senior brother the best." Wan Yan said sourly behind him.
When Jia Luo heard Wan Yan's voice, he quickly got out of Ning Qinghe's arms, his face flushed red: "Fourth Brother, why did you eavesdrop on other people's conversations?"
Wan Yan crossed his arms over his chest, walked over slowly, and raised his eyebrows: "You little heartless one."
In fact, he knew in his heart that after Jia Luo left, he didn't know when he would see Ning Qinghe again, and he was very sad. He just wanted to use this joke to dilute the sadness of parting.
Jia Luo ran to Wan Yan, pulled his sleeve and shook it gently, and said coquettishly: "Fourth Brother, you are the best, Luo Luo likes you the most too?"
"Hey, I told Third Senior Brother that we're leaving tomorrow!"
Wan Yan smiled and rubbed Jia Luo's head: "Where are we going this time?"
Jia Luo tilted his head slightly and said softly, "Sichuan!"
"Kawanishi?"
Ning Qinghe couldn't help but frown slightly. Although he had lived in Kyoto for a long time, he had heard that western Sichuan was a place with high mountains and dense forests, mysterious and unpredictable, with many strange people and events and mysterious and dangerous places.
"That place is not peaceful. What are you doing there?"
"Our little junior sister is going wherever there is danger now?" Wan Yan joked.
Ning Qinghe stared at Jialuo without saying anything.
Fat Jialuo twisted the corner of his clothes with his hands, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Why didn't you tell Third Brother?" Wan Yan asked as he looked at her.
Ning Qinghe turned his head to look at Wan Yan and asked in a deep voice: "You say!"
When Wan Yan was stared at by Ning Qinghe, he immediately put away his joking expression and scratched his head and said, "Third Brother, did you know that Master asked Jia Luo to gain merit?"
Ning Qinghe nodded without saying anything.
"We learned some time ago that..."
"That's how it is. That's why Uncle Wen and I are traveling around the world with Jia Luo!"
Wan Yan told Ning Qinghe the details. Ning Qinghe frowned and turned to look at Jia Luo.
"Lolo, Third Brother will go with you!"
Jia Luo raised his head and looked at him, smiling and said, "Third Brother, you should stay at home and accompany Grandpa Ning. Although he has survived this ordeal, he doesn't have much time left. If I need you, I will contact you!"
"Yes, Third Brother, you can rest assured that Uncle Wen and I are here to accompany Luo Luo. I will definitely take good care of Luo Luo!" Wan Yan patted his chest to make the promise.
Ning Qinghe was silent for a moment, then turned back to the house. After a while, he took out some things and handed them to Jialuo: "Luluo, here are some medicines, detoxification pills, and a protective jade pendant I got in my early years. Take it with you in case of emergency. The terrain in western Sichuan is complex and the climate is changeable. It is always good to have more protection."
Jia Luo took the things, his eyes slightly red, and said thank you softly.
Wan Yan, who was watching from the side, was touched but also a little jealous. He muttered, "Third Senior Brother, you are so partial. You didn't even give me anything."
Ning Qinghe glanced at him and said with a smile: "You are thick-skinned and tough, why do you need all this? Instead of joking around, you might as well think more about the route to western Sichuan."
As they chatted and laughed, the sky gradually darkened and the lights in the Ning family gradually lit up.
At dinner, everyone sat around the table, but the atmosphere was no longer as relaxed as before.
Although Mr. Ning did not say much about his reluctance, his frequent actions of picking up food for Jia Luo revealed his feelings.
As the night fell, Jia Luo lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, his mind filled with the past of the Ning family.
I don’t know how much time passed before I fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, the sun shone in front of the Ning family's gate. Wen Lingyue, Wan Yan and Jia Luo packed up and were ready to go.
Ning Qinghe and Old Master Ning had already been waiting there, their eyes full of worry.
"Lolo, be careful on your way. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to call Grandpa Ning." Grandpa Ning's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were full of kindness.
Jia Luo's eyes were filled with tears, and he threw himself into his grandfather's arms: "Grandpa Ning, take care of yourself. Remember to take the medicine Luo Luo left for you on time. If you run out, call me. Luo Luo will ask Dad to send it to you."
"Good, good, good boy!"
Mr. Ning patted Jia Luo's back gently and didn't let go for a long time.
Jia Luo nodded heavily, then took a deep breath, turned around, and got on the car to the airport with Wen Lingyue and Wan Yan.
Ning Qinghe sent them to the airport and gave them many instructions along the way. His eyes were always on Jialuo, full of worry.
"Third Brother, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore! When I come back from western Sichuan, I'll come to see you and Master Ning again!"
Ning Qinghe shook his head slightly, with a helpless and doting smile on his lips: "You!"
After entering the terminal hall, they could still see Ning Qinghe standing outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows. He stood tall and straight, but his eyes were always following them.
Jia Luo raised his hand and waved until his figure completely disappeared from his sight. Then he turned around and sat down, taking a long breath, as if to let go of the sadness of parting.
Wan Yan sat down next to her and handed her a tissue: "Lolo, don't be sad, we are going to do something big this time. When we come back from western Sichuan, we will come to see Grandpa Ning and Third Brother."
The plane took off and rushed into the sky. Jia Luo looked at the sea of clouds outside the window, his thoughts drifting far away.
Three hours later, the plane landed.
As soon as I left the airport, the humid and hot air hit me in the face, which was completely different from the dry air in Kyoto.
As soon as they left the airport lobby, a man in a neat suit and a capable look came up to them and saluted them respectfully: "Mr. Wen, I'm Lin Qiong, the general manager of Wen's branch!"
Wen Lingyue nodded slightly and replied with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Qiong enthusiastically helped them with their luggage and led them to a luxury car that had been waiting for a long time.
Along the way, he also acted as a temporary tour guide, introducing the characteristics and interesting things of western Sichuan: "There are so many fun places in western Sichuan, but you just got off the plane, so you should go to the hotel to rest first. I will take you out to play tomorrow."
Wen Lingyue looked at him and said, "Manager Lin, we are here for other things. Please send us to the hotel and leave the car to us. Then you can go and do your own thing!"
"Okay, Mr. Wen, if you need anything, feel free to contact me."
