When Ling'er packed up her mood and returned to the cave, Qi Yang was resting with his eyes closed.
Just as Ling'er was about to slow down her pace, she saw Qi Yang open his eyes.
"It's getting dark, can we go back?" Ling'er asked softly.
Qi Yang looked at this empty cave and knew that this was not a place to spend the night, but how could he go up if he had no internal strength at this time?
Ling'er said: "At this height, I should be able to pull you up."
"Actually, I'm worried that Xu Le will send people to guard the top." Qi Yang said.
After hearing this, Ling'er ran out of the cave and looked up, vaguely seeing the fire moving slowly.
Ling'er was so anxious that she hurried back to Qi Yang and said, "There are indeed people patrolling up there, so what should we do?"
"We can only wait." Qi Yang lowered his eyes and said, fearing that Ling'er would be wronged.
"How long do we have to wait?" Ling'er said anxiously.
Qi Yang sighed softly, he was the one who caused Ling'er to suffer.
"Will they leave tomorrow?" Ling'er asked expectantly.
Qi Yang shook his head and said, "A Dian has received the news that we escaped from Tianyuan Villa. What do you think he will do if he doesn't see us returning safely?"
Ling'er thought for a while before replying: "Brother Qi Dian will definitely send people to search Donghuan Mountain to pick us up."
"Yes, searching the mountain in Yixingmen means that we are still nearby, so..." Qi Yang did not continue.
"Does that mean that Xu Le will withdraw the patrolling guards above until the brothers at Yixingmen withdraw?" Ling'er asked.
"Yeah." Qi Yang nodded.
"How long will it take to wait?" Ling'er said anxiously.
"A Dian must have thought of this, but how could he let us go down the mountain without worry?" Qi Yang said guiltily, "I have caused the girl to suffer."
"It's you who suffered! It doesn't matter if I stay here for a few more days, but your injury... what should you do if you don't have any medicine?" Ling'er said sadly.
Qi Yang felt warm in his heart, it turned out that Ling'er was worried about him.
"There are some small scratches on my lower body, it's not a problem." Qi Yang hurriedly comforted Ling'er.
"Small scratch?" Ling'er felt a sore nose as she thought of Qi Yang's scarred body under his robe.
"Yes." Qi Yang saw that Ling'er's eyes were red again, and quickly explained, "Although the wound looks serious, it is not deep. It will heal in two days."
"Let's not talk about external injuries. What should we do about your internal injuries?" Ling'er asked worriedly.
Just as Qi Yang was about to speak, Ling'er continued: "Do you think I will forget the 'Soul-locking Pill' on you? Even if the 'Soul-locking Pill' has expired, you still need others to heal you before you can reverse the situation." The muscles and veins must be twisted back, otherwise the pain will be unbearable once the exercise is performed.”
Qi Yang sighed softly, his physical condition still couldn't be hidden from Ling'er at all. He whispered: "I don't have to do any martial arts."
"Then how do you heal yourself? The retrograde tendons caused you to suffer serious internal injuries. If the injured tendons are not repaired as soon as possible..." Ling'er couldn't bear to continue, "And my internal strength cultivation is too different from yours. If there are too many, they can neither reverse your meridians nor heal your injuries. So we must get out of here quickly!"
Qi Yang naturally understands this, but for now they can only wait.
Ling'er added: "Your health is not good to begin with, and now you have no internal strength, and you can't stand the cold! And there is not even anything to keep warm here, so what should you do at night?"
Qi Yang couldn't help but cough slightly when he heard this.
Ling'er looked outside the cave. The cold air was slowly pouring in, but she was powerless to stop it.
Qi Yang was so tired that he slowly closed his eyes.
As soon as Ling'er discovered it, she quickly woke him up: "Brother Qi Yang, don't sleep yet!"
Qi Yang opened his eyes tiredly and looked at Linger in confusion.
Ling'er hurriedly took out a bag of sesame cakes from the bag and handed it to him, and said: "You haven't eaten anything for a day and a night. Eat some cakes before going to bed!"
Qi Yang shook his head gently and closed his eyes.
Ling'er squatted beside Qi Yang, still trying to persuade him to eat something. Although he couldn't detect his right pulse due to the injury to his right wrist, Ling'er knew that his stomach must be uncomfortable.
Qi Yang closed his eyes and said: "Girl, please eat some by yourself! I'm a little sleepy..."
Ling'er finally couldn't bear to disturb Qi Yang's rest. She was worried that Qi Yang would catch cold, so she took off her medicine boy's robe and covered Qi Yang's body.
Ling'er walked to the side and sat down. She looked at the only five sesame cakes in her hand and sighed softly. She doesn't know when she can go back? How long will these five sesame cakes be enough for Brother Qi Yang?
Ling'er put away the sesame cakes, took some dried meat to fill her stomach, and then leaned against the stone wall with her eyes closed to rest.
At this moment, Qi Yang opened his eyes. He felt very distressed when he saw Ling'er sitting there curled up holding her knees.
When Ling'er's breathing became light and steady, Qi Yang gently climbed to her side and covered her body with her robe and his own black robe.
After watching Ling'er so close for a long time, Qi Yang felt his throat was dry and itchy, so he crawled out of the cave.
After climbing out of the cave, Qi Yang finally couldn't help but cough lightly.
His body really couldn't stand the cold. The coldness had invaded his body as early as last night when he was tortured, but he kept enduring it. At that time, he didn't want to show weakness in front of Chen Bingda, but later he was afraid that Ling'er would be worried.
The night passed very slowly. Qi Yang was tired and sleepy, but he did not dare to close his eyes. Xu Le must be looking for them everywhere at this time, and danger may come at any time.

Around the second watch, Ling'er seemed to hear a suppressed cough in her daze. The sound was so familiar, just like the one she heard during the days when she was unconscious in Luoyang.
Suddenly, Ling'er woke up.
The cave was very dark, with only the moonlight shining through the cave entrance. But as soon as Ling'er opened her eyes, she discovered the two robes covering her body, but Qi Yang was nowhere to be seen.
"Brother Qi Yang?" Linger called out worriedly.
Then Ling'er saw someone outside the cave peeking his head slightly, who was it if it wasn't Qi Yang?
Linger hurriedly got up and walked out of the cave.
Qi Yang was sitting at the entrance of the cave at this time, the moonlight fell on him, and the blood stains on his light blue robe deeply hurt Ling'er's eyes.
"Why did the girl wake up?" Qi Yang asked in a hoarse voice.
Ling'er hurriedly covered Qi Yang with two robes and scolded: "It's windy outside, what are you doing sitting here?"
Qi Yang would not tell Ling'er that he was afraid that the cough would disturb her.
Qi Yang smiled slightly and said, "I just woke up and felt a little stuffy, so I went outside to get some air."
Ling'er looked at the fatigue in Qi Yang's eyes and asked without exposing him, "Aren't you cold then?"
"It's okay." Qi Yang lowered his eyes slightly, resisted the urge to cough, and then continued, "Girl, go get some sleep! It's not yet dawn."
"It's time for you to finish breathing. Go into the cave to take shelter from the wind!" Ling'er didn't wait for Qi Yang to respond and directly reached out to help him.
Qi Yang had no choice but to follow Linger back to the cave.
Linger wanted to help Qi Yang lie down, but Qi Yang insisted on sitting. Ling'er had no choice but to pull her robe and wrap Qi Yang tightly.
Qi Yang did not refuse, but said: "It's actually not cold down here."
"You still say it's not cold? You're feeling chilly all over your body." Ling'er unceremoniously revealed Qi Yang's lie and said, "Are you not sleepy now? Let's have something to eat!"
Seeing that he couldn't get through this time, Qi Yang had no choice but to take the bag of sesame cakes, break off a small piece and put it into his mouth.
Ling'er was waiting on the side with a water bag.
