Ling'er asked angrily: "Brother Yang, why are you injured and bleeding so much, but your middle coat is not only not damaged, but there is not even a trace of blood on it?"
Qi Yang was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said nothing. It was his negligence. The girl was so smart, how could she be fooled by him so easily?
Ling'er regretted it as soon as she said it. It’s not like he didn’t know Brother Yang’s reasons for concealing his injuries, so why did he press him like this when his head was hot?
"I made a mistake. But please don't delve into some things, girl." Qi Yang said in a low voice.
The look of Qi Yang helplessly lowering his eyes made Ling'er feel distressed.
Ling'er said seriously: "I don't care why you were injured, I just want to tell you not to risk your life for a book! No matter what book it is, it's not worth it!"
Qi Yang raised his eyes to look at Ling'er and nodded obediently. But he said in his heart: "I am not here for a copy of "Meridian Strange Stories", I am here to make you happy. Seeing your smile when you got "Meridian Strange Stories", what is not worth it?"
Seeing Qi Yang nodding happily, Ling'er said sadly: "No! You don't understand! You don't understand that when I saw you injured, I wanted to destroy "Meridian Strange Stories" immediately!"
Qi Yang couldn't help but secretly glance at the "Meridian Curiosities" which was still intact on the ground not far away, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want Ling'er to destroy it impulsively. He understood that Ling'er had extremely high attainments in medical skills, and only medical books like "Meridian Wonders" could help her make breakthroughs.
Seeing that Qi Yang didn't understand what she meant, Ling'er shouted anxiously: "I don't want anything! I just want you to be safe!"
How could Qi Yang not understand these? He just didn't know how to repay Ling'er's affection and simply wanted to do something for Ling'er to the best of his ability.
Ling'er wiped away her tears and found that Qi Yang's eyes were also red.
Seeing Qi Yang's pale face, Ling'er felt extremely distressed and advised softly: "You must be dizzy after losing so much blood, right? Lie down and rest for a while!"
Qi Yang couldn't bear to let Ling'er worry about him anymore, so he lay down on the ground obediently and closed his eyes. Although he was a little tired, he was not sleepy at all.
Ling'er quickly covered Qi Yang with his robe, moved to his left side, pulled out his left hand and put it in her palm to warm it.
Qi Yang's left hand was cold, but much warmer than his right arm. But Ling'er didn't dare to rub his still sore right arm because Ling'er was worried that excessive dredging of the blood vessels would cause the new wound to bleed again.
Warmth spread throughout Qi Yang's body from his left hand. He originally planned to just close his eyes and fell asleep with Ling'er's comforting company.
---
Perhaps it was because he was too tired, or because Ling'er's company was so comforting, Qi Yang fell asleep for a long time.
It was already dawn when Qi Yang opened his eyes again.
But because their torches had burned out, the surroundings fell into darkness. The only light comes from the small hole on the top.
Qi Yang, who had been in darkness, could barely see everything around him, and saw that Ling'er was still by his side.
"You're finally awake!" Ling'er shouted in surprise as soon as she found out that Qi Yang was awake. Seeing Qi Yang trying to get up, she quickly helped Qi Yang sit up.
"Thank you for your hard work, girl." Qi Yang said gratefully.
Ling'er smiled, handed over the food, and said, "Are you hungry? Eat something quickly!"
Qi Yang was indeed hungry, but he was not polite to Ling'er and took a piece of pastry from Ling'er.
"I haven't changed your medicine for fear of disturbing your rest. When you are full, I will give you medicine again!" Ling'er said considerately.
Qi Yang swallowed the cake and refused: "It's only one night, there's no need to rush to change the dressing." He didn't want to trouble Ling'er.
"One night? Do you think you only slept for one night?" Ling'er asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yang looked up at the hole above. He also felt that he had slept for a long time, but the sky outside looked like it had just dawned!
"You slept for a day and two nights!" Ling'er said.
If he hadn't known that Qi Yang needed to sleep to recover faster, Ling'er would have woken him up yesterday. After all, he had a weak stomach and couldn't starve. But Ling'er understood that there were still difficulties to overcome, and the top priority was to let Qi Yang recover quickly.
Qi Yang was startled, it turned out that he had slept for so long, no wonder his injuries were much better. He suddenly thought of something, pointed to the stone wall in front of them and asked Linger: "Is there any movement on this stone wall?"
It turned out that Qi Yang had already told Ling'er which stone wall opened a passage that could lead to the exit, and what they were waiting for was the rise of the stone wall in front of them.
Ling'er shook her head and answered him: "The other two stone walls will open every once in a while, but the stone wall you mentioned is the only one that has not moved."
"It seems that this stone wall has been opened once before we came back here." Qi Yang frowned.
"Will we have to wait a long time?" Ling'er asked.
Qi Yang replied: "It should be soon! But we don't have torches, and there is still weak light in those stone chambers like here..."
Before Qi Yang finished speaking, he saw Ling'er taking out another torch from nowhere.
"There's another one here." Ling'er said with a smile.
"Where did this come from?" Qi Yang asked curiously.
"Yesterday, I saw that the torch was about to go out, so I went outside to look around, and finally found another torch and a fire seal. The fire seal should have been left behind by Zhao Xinghe and the others, right?" Ling'er said.
"Outside?" Qi Yang was shocked when he heard this and glanced at Ling'er guiltily.
"Yes." Ling'er nodded and lowered his eyes sadly. How could she not see the large pool of blood outside?
Qi Yang sighed and said: "It's very dangerous outside, the girl is so brave!"
"I'm just worried that the torch will burn out and I won't be able to provide light." Ling'er replied quietly.
"Then why didn't the girl light the new torch?" Qi Yang asked. He was worried that Ling'er would be afraid of the dark.
"Save it for when you need it! I can still see you without the torch." Ling'er said, looking at Qi Yang affectionately.
Feeling Ling'er's burning gaze on him, Qi Yang felt that his face was about to burn. He hurriedly explained: "I'm telling you that if the torch is lit, the girl can take a good look at "Meridian Strange Stories"."
Seeing that Qi Yang was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, Ling'er withdrew his gaze and let him go, saying: "Before the previous torch burned out, I had memorized "Amazing Stories about Meridians", and now I only need to Just calm down and understand it."
Qi Yang nodded. He knew that Ling'er had a good memory and could never forget a book.
At this moment, the sound of the mechanism opening sounded again.
"Could it be..." Before Ling'er could finish speaking, he saw the stone wall they had been waiting for begin to rise slowly.
"The wait is finally here!" Ling'er said in surprise.
"Let's go!" Qi Yang stood up and pulled Ling'er up.
Ling'er followed Qi Yang toward the exit with her baggage and torch.
