Seeing Ling'er's shocked expression, Liu Bai hurriedly asked: "What's in this bottle?"
Ling'er didn't answer, staring at the small porcelain bottle with a lot of thoughts.
Why is the thing that Brother Qi Yang always carries close to his body here? Did Brother Qi Yang forget to bring it with him, or did he leave it behind on purpose? Brother Qi Yang takes this medicine every morning. How could he leave such an important thing behind? If he stayed here on purpose... Ling'er didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Liu Bai saw Ling'er holding the small porcelain bottle tightly, closing her eyes and frowning, and asked worriedly: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about brother Qi Yang?"
Ling'er slowly opened her eyes, looked at Liu Bai sadly and said, "Brother Qi Yang is a brave man who values the lives of the people more than anything else. How could he ignore the safety of the people? He didn't go to the execution ground to save him. Because he doesn't want to make unnecessary sacrifices, if he can save the people, he will definitely do his part. I wrongly blamed him!"
Liu Bai, who had always been confused about the situation, gradually came to understand. After thinking about it, she asked boldly: "Brother Qi Yang is the Qingfengxia?"
At this time, Ling'er had no intention of hiding anything and nodded.
Liu Bai was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.
"He must have felt very uncomfortable after hearing what I said. I'm not blaming him, I'm just worried." Ling'er said sadly, "So many people are suffering, but he acted as if nothing had happened and went to find Princess Youlan... "
Liu Bai suddenly realized after hearing this, and finally figured out the cause and effect, and confirmed to Ling'er: "Brother Qi Yang doesn't know that you know that he is Qingfengxia?"
Linger nodded.
Liu Bai continued: "So he acted nonchalantly in front of you just to hide his identity."
"Then where is he going to find Princess Youlan?" Ling'er asked with a frown.
"Princess Youlan has a high position and may have a way to save the captured people." Liu Bai said.
Ling'er thought about it, but she felt a little strange and said, "But..."
"What else?" Liu Bai was puzzled.
Ling'er said: "Brother Qi Yang is not that kind of person. Although he will deal with people in the officialdom for Qi's business, he will not rely on Princess Youlan's power to save people."
"What if he has no other way?" Liu Bai said.
"Why is there no other way? He is resourceful and has great martial arts!" Ling'er looked at the small porcelain bottle in his hand and said worriedly, "That's why I'm worried that he will fight against the Black Lotus Sect to save the people."
"My sister is worried that he will go to the robbery site?" Liu Bai asked.
"Yeah." Ling'er nodded. Ling'er's brows furrowed even more when he thought of the Black Lotus Sect members who were among the arrested people.
"This...don't worry." Liu Bai hesitated, "There is something...that I haven't mentioned to my sister."
"What's the matter?" Ling'er asked hurriedly.
"Forget it, it's nothing." Liu Bai hesitated for a moment, but decided to continue to keep Qi Yang's secret.
"Sister Liu Bai, what is going on?" Ling'er asked anxiously.
Liu Bai said in embarrassment: "I can't say! I promised brother Qi Yang..."
"Sister Liu Bai, if it concerns Brother Qi Yang's safety, just tell me!" Ling'er pleaded.
Liu Bai hesitated and saw that Ling'er was getting more and more worried, so he had no choice but to say: "I mentioned before that the beggar with a recurrence of old injuries on his legs is actually brother Qi Yang."
"What?" Ling'er said in surprise, "Impossible! How can you walk with your legs injured like that? Brother Qi Yang walks very well!"
"It's true! Brother Qi Yang couldn't walk at all at first. In the past few days, I treated his injury according to the method my sister said, supplemented by those decoctions, and his leg injury gradually improved." Liu Bai said.
Ling'er was shocked when she thought of the prescription that "missed" the blood-activating medicinal ingredients.
"Brother Qi Yang practices walking in his room every day despite the pain, but I really don't know how he walked such a long way to the princess's house today." Liu Bai said worriedly.
Ling'er lowered her eyes sadly.
"He can't walk well, let alone use martial arts. So, I think he has no other way to save the people." Liu Bai said.
Ling'er suddenly remembered that when Brother Qi Yang's cold poison had just been cured, Dr. Xu mentioned that he had an old injury on his leg, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
Ling'er asked Liu Bai: "How did Brother Qi Yang's leg injury recur?"
"I'm not sure about this. It seems that falling into the cold pool caused old injuries." Liu Bai said.
"Cold pool water?" Ling'er murmured.
Ling'er couldn't help but recall the day Qi Yang fell into the deep pool, struggled to paddle a few times, and then slowly sank in. The water in the pool was really cold. Did he sink to the bottom because of a recurrence of his leg injury?
"Brother Qi Yang said that it was an old injury from childhood. Every time he got cold, it would become red, swollen and stinging. He couldn't touch cold water on weekdays," Liu Bai said.
"So that's it." Ling'er felt great pain in her heart.
Ling'er recalled that Brother Qi Yang fell into a deep pool and came back from the dead. He was also chased by many killers. She ran to Qi's house to see him, but was driven away by him with bad words. He did that to keep himself away from danger and protect himself, right? At that time, he couldn't even walk!
Ling'er recalled that every time she saw Brother Qi Yang, he was either sitting on the bed or at the table. He rarely stood, let alone walked, but she didn't find anything unusual!
Thinking of this, Linger felt regret and hatred.
And just this morning, Qi Yang stood by the railing with his hands behind his hands, asking himself why he didn't go to rest and just stood there blowing the wind. Brother Qi Yang replied, "I have been sitting for a while, and I just want to stand for a while."
Thinking of it at this moment, what Brother Qi Yang said deeply hurt Ling'er's heart.
"I think brother Qi Yang kept it secret from you because he was afraid that you would worry." Liu Bai said.
Ling'er looked at the small white porcelain bottle in her hand, suddenly thought of those account books, and hurriedly ran upstairs.
"Sister, where are you going?" Liu Bai hurriedly caught up.
Ling'er thought to himself: "Brother Qi Yang obviously just read all the account books a few days ago, but yesterday he asked Xiao Xu to send them over. This time he looked at the account books and it was different from last time. He just flipped through it casually without checking the accounts. They wrote something at the end of each account book, but they didn’t let me read it.”
Ling'er walked into Qi Yang's bedroom, and the stack of account books was still on the table.
Ling'er put the small white porcelain vase into his pocket and took the top one casually. The cover said "Qi Family - Accounts of No-cut Cloth Village".
Ling'er took a deep breath and turned to the last page. There is a long paragraph written on the last page, written in neat handwriting. Ling'er read it carefully, and the account book just slipped from her hands.
Liu Bai hurriedly picked up the account book and put it back on the table, and anxiously asked Ling'er, who was standing there blankly: "What's wrong with my sister? Why is her face so pale?"
Ling'er felt cold in her limbs, dizzy and short of breath.
She slowly turned her head and said to Liu Bai: "Brother Qi Yang wrote down the future business direction of Bu Tai Cloth Village on the back of the account book, and all aspects that should be paid attention to during management. Isn't he... not going to come back alive?"
