Bloodstained Hero's Clothes

Chapter 130 What is not enough to rely on ([-])
Ling'er took out the flint from the outer pocket of the night suit, and squatted by the fire, trying to light it.

The moment the flint hit, the cave brightened up.

"Don't light the fire!" Qing Fengxia hastily stopped.

Ling'er didn't listen to him, and lit the fire, and the flame flickered, illuminating everything in the cave.

Seeing that Ling'er was determined not to put out the fire, Qing Fengxia had no choice but to sit in a dimly lit corner.

Qing Fengxia looked a little weak, his upper body was leaning against the stone wall weakly, his right arm was hanging weakly, and his left hand was covering his upper right arm.Ling'er remembered that it was exactly where she was injured last time.

Ling'er has never seen Qing Fengxia so weak?Ling'er was about to ask about Qingfengxia's injuries when she accidentally caught a glimpse of a large pool of bright red blood where Qingfengxia was sitting before, and the bloodstains extended to his current position.

Ling'er was in a hurry, and hurriedly got up and walked towards Qingfengxia.As soon as he got closer, a strong smell of blood came to his nostrils.

Qing Fengxia was startled, and wanted to stop him again.

Ling'er said anxiously: "You are losing a lot of blood! Let me help you stop the bleeding!" After speaking, Ling'er ignored Qing Fengxia's wishes, pulled his left hand away, and moved his hand forcefully.

Qing Fengxia looked at the blood on the ground, and thought: "No wonder you're so dizzy all of a sudden, it seems that the pressure is still light."

Seeing that Qingfengxia didn't object any more, but closed his eyes and allowed himself to heal his wounds, Ling'er softened his movements.She pulled up the sleeves of Qing Fengxia, only to see that the sleeves of the white tunic inside had all been dyed bright red, which made her heart twitch.

Ling'er was really taken aback when she untied the bandage that was heavy with blood.This is not an old wound that has not healed at all, but a situation where the wound has just healed and then split, and then healed and split again.

Looking at the freshly torn wound, Linger asked heartbroken: "Is the wound torn like this to save me?"

Qing Fengxia opened his eyes and took a look at his wound, then said casually: "No, it was like this before."

"You lied, this is clearly a newly torn scar!" Ling'er said sadly, while stopping Qing Fengxia's bleeding.

"It's just that the crack is bigger." Qing Fengxia said softly, and then closed his eyes to rest.

"You..." Ling'er was both moved and guilty, and wanted to say something thankful but couldn't.This is a feeling of gratitude that cannot be expressed in words, and Linger shed tears silently.

Ling'er skillfully bandaged Qing Fengxia's wound and rearranged his sleeves.

Qing Fengxia opened his eyes and said, "Thank you, Miss."

"No, it should be me who wants to thank you!" Ling'er said softly.

"Girl, you don't have to be so polite." Qing Fengxia said with a smile.

Linger suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Why didn't you use herbs to stop the bleeding just now? Can such a large wound be treated by pressing alone?" She remembered that Qing Fengxia also used pressing to stop the bleeding on the day when his right arm was injured.

Qingfengxia didn't answer, he leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes to rest.

Ling'er thought that he would feel dizzy after bleeding so much, so she advised, "Lie down and rest! It will be more comfortable."

Qing Fengxia didn't open his eyes, but shook his head slowly.

Ling'er walked to the opposite side of the fire and sat down, just quietly accompanying Qing Fengxia.

Looking at Qingfeng Xia, Ling'er suddenly thought of Qi Yang, who also used his injured arm to pull himself onto the boat that day.Although several days have passed, the situation is still vivid in my mind, as if it was yesterday.

After thinking about it for an unknown amount of time, Ling'er looked at Qing Fengxia again, he seemed to have fallen asleep from exhaustion.
-
The night wind slowly blew into the cave, and Qing Fengxia curled up subconsciously.

Ling'er knew that this was a normal reaction after losing too much blood, so she wanted to move the fire to his side.

Unexpectedly, with just a slight movement of Ling'er, Qing Fengxia opened his eyes.He glanced at Ling'er in some confusion, and then gradually came to his senses.

Ling'er apologized, "I think it's getting cold at night, and I want to move the fire over."

Qing Fengxia shook his head and refused, so Ling'er had no choice but to give up.

"What should I do if the night is cold and the sky is cold?" Ling'er was a little worried.Suddenly, she thought that Qi's house was nearby, so she said to Qing Fengxia: "I have a friend who lives nearby, I'll borrow a thin blanket from him, please bear with me for a while." Without further ado, Ling'er left after speaking out of the cave.

When Ling'er returned to the cave, the fire was still burning, but Qing Fengxia had disappeared.

Ling'er didn't bother to find out why Qing Fengxia left without saying goodbye, because she kept wondering where Qi Yang had gone in the middle of the night.Didn't he even go home to hide from himself? ——
Because thinking about Qing Fengxia and Qi Yang, Ling'er stayed up all night, and looked tired early in the morning.She was used to coming to Qi's house, and she didn't find it strange that she didn't see anyone, and then went to Qingfeng Inn.

The "Feng'er" gathered here earlier than usual, chattering about the story of Qing Fengxia making a big fuss in the Qin Wuguan last night and saving the weak woman.

It was rare for Gongsun Qian and the others to be absent, so Ling'er sat silently by the side, listening to the girls complain about all the bad things Qin Liu had done in the past, and praising Qingfengxia's brave and fearless chivalrous deeds.This is good and bad, one good and one evil, forming a stark contrast, which highlights Qingfengxia's tall and heroic image.

Ling'er couldn't help laughing at herself when she thought that she once suspected that Qin Liu was Qingfeng Xia.Ling'er thought that Song Jian once said that Qingfeng Xia is the embodiment of justice that brings hope and courage to the people, and she felt more and more reasonable.

"However, how much hardship is hidden under this glorious surface is rarely known." Ling'er said with emotion in her heart, "Even 'Feng'er would not know that the hero they talked about would faint weakly in the middle of the night. Fell in the cave, blood stained the loess."

Ling'er couldn't help thinking of Qi Yang again, who would associate a man who seemed so powerful in the past with that imperceptible pulse and that iron-cold body temperature?

Ling'er scratched her head in annoyance, why did she think of Qi Yang again?The one who avoids himself like a snake.

The "Feng'er" were talking about those women captured by Qin Liu. They were all poor orphans who had lost their parents. If Qing Fengxia hadn't rescued them from the fire pit, who in this world would care about their lives ?
Only then did Ling'er remember Luo Mei, wondering if they would return home safely in the morning.Thinking of this, Ling'er bid farewell to the "Feng'er" and wanted to visit Luomei.

"Sister, please do me a favor!" A dirty little boy ran to Ling'er and bowed down to beg.

Seeing that the little boy was only about six or seven years old and came out to beg, Ling'er immediately felt pity for him, and hurriedly took out some scraps of silver for him.

When the little boy got the broken silver, he was both surprised and happy. He knelt down on the ground and said gratefully, "Thank you, my kind sister!"

"Little brother, get up quickly." Ling'er didn't dislike the little boy's dirt, and helped him up.The careful Ling'er found that although the clothes and pants on the little boy were dirty and torn, they were of excellent material. He should have been born in a wealthy family, but how could he come out to beg?
