Chapter 117: Thank you
The past two days have come, and Ling Quanfei has barely closed his eyes. His deep eye sockets became more and more haggard, as if he had a serious illness. For him, the torture of illness is far less than the guilt in his heart, and the guilt of Qi Ying'er whips him all the time. He didn't say it, but it was really difficult to calm down in his heart, especially at the moment when Qi Ying'er knew the truth, that kind of torment was like putting his heart on a soldering iron.
Qi Ying'er didn't blame him, she didn't frustrate, she didn't cry, she didn't go crazy, she was just like that, and Ling Quanfei finally got out of the cage that trapped him.
Qi Ying'er woke up the next day, and he was so happy when he woke up because he saved Meng Po. But soon after, he noticed that his body was abnormal, a sense of powerlessness, his body was always limp, and his arms did not seem to be as strong as before.
At first, he thought that he had just woken up and his vitality had not recovered, or that the medicine prescribed by Dr. Zhong had not yet taken effect, but he didn't care. When he talked to Ling Quanfei during the day, Ling Quanfei always seemed to dodge intentionally or unintentionally, or under the pretext of going to the backstreet to find Dr. Zhong, and he didn't come back until night when he went, and Qi Ying'er felt that things were a little strange. "Why is he deliberately hiding from himself?"
Qi Ying'er wanted to ask him directly to understand, so that she would always feel that there was a pimple stuck in her heart.
Meng Po has woken up, but it is still difficult to speak, sometimes Qi Ying'er just looks at her expression, or satisfied or happy, or shakes her head or nods, he can guess what Meng Po means, Qi Ying'er respects Meng Po, Meng Po is grateful to him, and the two get along very well.
This night, Ling Quanfei was still talking to Doctor Zhong outside, Qi Ying'er went back to her house after seeing Meng Po and planned to try her internal strength, and then when Ling Quanfei came back, she would ask him clearly.
Qi Ying'er returned to the room and closed the door. I was still thinking about the adventures I encountered when I was transporting true qi to save Meng Po, and I was ecstatic in my heart, since I could enter other people's bodies, could I also enter my own bodies?
Qi Ying'er sat on the bed with this kind of joy in her arms, closed her eyes, and silently recited the Phoenix Heart Method in her heart, but after reciting it a few times, she didn't feel anything.
Qi Ying'er was slightly surprised in her heart, could it be that she had read it wrong? It was absolutely impossible, she had studied this method for more than seven years, how could she be wrong? What was the reason for that? She couldn't even use her internal strength at all, as if the well had dried up and there was no spring.
Thinking of this, Qi Ying'er's heart trembled, could it be that he really had no internal strength at all? He couldn't believe it, so he tried again and again, working harder and harder again, and focusing more than once, and after more than a dozen times, he was soaked with sweat. And now he was physically and mentally cold, as if he had been locked in an ice cellar, and the chill came straight to his heart.
"How so...... How can this be......"
If he had lost the internal force he had accumulated for seven years, how would he rescue Jing Yun and the others, how would he go to the rivers and lakes, how would he pick up the sword, how would he become a swordsman, and how would he face his master?
Suddenly, he thought of Ling Quanfei's attitude towards him in the past two days, could it be that he had already known that he had lost his internal strength, so he deliberately avoided his gaze. He heard Xiao Er's voice: "Ah, Officer Ling, are you back, have you eaten?"
He didn't hear Ling Quanfei's answer, but he immediately bounced out of bed and rushed out of the door.
Ling Quanfei had just discussed with Zhong Chang about leaving, and as soon as he returned to the inn, he saw Qi Ying'er rushing out of the room, standing in the corridor on the second floor and staring at him. There was no hostility in his gaze, but it was full of doubt.
Ling Quanfei's heart froze, he had already guessed that Qi Ying'er knew the truth, Ling Quanfei had already thought it through, even if he didn't tell him, he would still know. He hadn't told him earlier, and he still couldn't escape the guilt in his heart.
Now that Qi Ying'er already knew, he didn't have to care about his pathetic guilt anymore.
Ling Quanfei said: "What do you want to ask, ask." ”
Qi Ying'er said, "You already knew?"
Ling Quanfei said, "Hmm." ”
Both of them were silent, Qi Ying'er didn't ask him, "Then why didn't you tell me?" Ling Quanfei didn't say, "Because I'm guilty." ”
Both of them knew what the other wanted to say, so there was no need to say it, it was a meaningless dialogue.
Qi Ying'er didn't say anything, but turned back to her room and closed the door as if it didn't matter.
Ling Quanfei stood downstairs in a daze looking at the door that did not close, and he also had mixed feelings in his heart, but he knew that there was still a dominant one in these feelings-guilt.
He let out a heavy sigh that did not relieve him of any pressure, and he walked upstairs with unhurried steps. When Xiao Er saw the conversation between the two, he didn't understand: "What happened between these two? Why is it so unpleasant?"
There was no unhappiness between Qi Ying'er and Ling Quanfei, but even Xiao Er, who was observant of words and expressions, couldn't tell what kind of mood they were in.
Ling Quanfei went upstairs and didn't push the door directly into Qi Ying'er's room, he hesitated at the door, then continued to walk forward and walked into Meng Po's room.
Qi Ying'er sat on the bed, he saw Ling Quanfei's figure standing in front of his door, he didn't come in, but walked away, and he was relieved. Because Qi Ying'er didn't plan to turn around and go back to the house directly just now, he should have had a good talk with Ling Quanfei again, but he didn't do it for some reason, and now that he thinks about it, he regrets it a little, which will only make the original matter more complicated. Qi Ying'er knew that he was not to blame for this matter.
Ling Quanfei said to Meng Po's room, hastily cleaned up his mood and said to Meng Po: "Meng Po, how is your old man feeling?"
Meng Po nodded slightly, obviously much more energetic than before, but she also hurt her throat when she spewed black blood that day, and she needed half a month of recuperation to recover.
Ling Quanfei said: "That's good." Meng Po, we are leaving tomorrow, the day before yesterday I sent a message to my friend Feige, tomorrow she will arrive here, I will ask her to take care of you. ”
Meng Po nodded again, this time with a grateful smile. Ling Quanfei also smiled, and then sighed, Meng Po took his hand, and he saw Meng Po's worried expression in question. Ling Quanfei thought to herself that she must have seen that there was something between herself and Qi Ying'er, because once Ling Quanfei could avoid Qi Ying'er in front of Meng Po.
Ling Quanfei smiled bitterly, "Are you asking me about him?"
Meng Po nodded.
Ling Quanfei sighed and said, "I don't know, I don't know what to say." ”
Meng Po squeaked in her mouth and made an incomprehensible sound: "Noisy-coffee-kan-kan-" Meng Po made a sound while squeezing Ling Quanfei's hand.
Ling Quanfei said, "Talk to him?"
Meng Po breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and slowly let go of his hand, closed his eyes, and turned his head away.
Ling Quanfei understood that Meng Po was asking her to talk to Qi Ying'er now, and he also knew that it was time to talk to him now, Qi Ying'er already knew, no matter what else he cared about in his heart, it didn't matter anymore.
"Meng Po, you have a good rest. ”
Ling Quanfei blew out the candle and walked out of the door.
Qi Ying'er heard the sound of the door closing, and then heard the sound of footsteps, he knew that Ling Quanhad was going to talk to him, and he was also trying to talk about it.
Ling Quanfei knocked on the door, and pushed the door in without waiting for Qi Ying'er to answer, as if he also knew that Qi Ying'er must be waiting for him. Ling Quanfei didn't speak immediately after he came in, but walked to the table, sat on the stool, looked at Qi Ying'er, who was sitting on the bed facing him, and then sighed, just about to speak, but heard Qi Ying'er ask first, "When are we leaving?"
Ling Quanfei was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Where's Meng Po?"
"She will have someone to take care of, and that person will arrive tomorrow morning, and she will pick up Meng Po. ”
"Where?"
"Fengxia Town. ”
Qi Ying'er thought to herself: "Fengxia Town, why is it so familiar." But he said, "Oh." ”
Ling Quanfei understood that it was time for him to speak: "You ......" came to his lips, why couldn't he say it again? Sometimes how much he wished that his character could be like Liang Laosan and Qin Ping, or at least just like them, he would spit out everything as soon as he could, and that kind of life would be very troublesome. He found that his thoughts were far away, and Qi Ying'er was still waiting for his words, so he came back to his senses and finally said, "You...... Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Qi Ying'er replied very neatly, and did not seem to hesitate.
Ling Quanfei complained in his heart why he would say such a stupid thing, and simply said with a heart: "You have lost all your internal strength, but I will definitely find a way to recover you." ”
This time Qi Ying'er didn't answer immediately, there seemed to be too much emotion in his eyes, as if there was nothing, and Ling Quanfei couldn't understand it at all. Qi Ying'er said, "Thank you. ”
"Thank you, why do you want to say thank you to me?" Ling Quanfei almost asked, he seemed to have been cut, "Did he do it on purpose? No, he is not that kind of person." ”
Qi Ying'er said again: "I know that you have been avoiding me for the past two days, but it is not your fault. Even if you tell me that if you save Meng Po, I will lose all my internal strength, I will decide to save her, not to mention that you have no idea that this kind of result will happen, right? ”
Ling Quanfei looked at him and nodded, but he always had a strange feeling in his heart, feeling that he owed Qi Ying'er more and more. But what did Ling Quanfei owe him? He just couldn't forgive himself, forgive himself for not thinking about it, he should have thought of it...... Should have ...... Pathetic should have been, there were too many things that should have been done, did they have to press on themselves like this? He finally understood that Qi Ying'er didn't blame himself, he wanted to get back his internal strength now, instead of seeing himself guilty here.
Ling Quanfei said: "I will definitely let you get back the internal force, no matter what method you use." ”
Qi Ying'er said: "Thank you." ”
This thank you, Ling Quanfei was very moved when he heard this thank you.
