Chapter 156 Commitment
Chapter 156 Commitment
Qingling's treatment officially began, lasting seven days and seven nights in a closed basement with only a single door and a few breathing holes.
There were not many people, including Ye Shuangbai, Song Yu, Qi Sha, and Qing Ling.
In life-or-death moments, one must have the person they trust most by their side to feel at ease.
A large bucket of thick, black medicine soup was boiled, steaming, and the air was filled with the bitter smell of the medicine.
Qing Ling needs to soak in medicinal soup for two days to completely open the meridians in his body, and then Ye Shuangbai can give him acupuncture.
Before entering the tub, Ye Shuangbai said, "This isn't an ordinary decoction. Once your body absorbs the medicinal properties, it will feel like you're being bitten by millions of ants. You must endure it, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted."
Qingling didn't say much and stepped directly into the bathtub.
The black soup was steaming and quickly submerged his body, leaving only his head exposed.
Seeing this, Ye Shuangbai simply instructed, "If you really can't hold on any longer, just tell me."
Even if I say it, there may not be a solution.
Qingling soaked in the medicine soup. At first, he only felt surrounded by hot water, but gradually, his body began to become boiling hot.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and as time went by, his body underwent strange changes.
It spreads from the heart to the limbs and bones, densely packed like thousands of ants gnawing.
It started out as an itch, then slowly turned into pain.
Dense pain spread throughout every skin and every bone in the body.
The pain is subtle, not fatal but you can feel it clearly.
But this little pain was nothing to Qing Ling, even though he was sweating profusely at this time.
But he still endured it without saying a word, and there was not even a change on his face.
In the next room, Song Yu was carefully mixing the medicinal herbs according to Ye Shuangbai's instructions.
She originally wanted to go in and see Qingling, but was stopped by Ye Shuangbai, who said that it was not the time for her to go and see.
Song Yu didn't quite understand what this meant, but Ye Shuangbai would not harm Qingling, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He just glanced towards the next room from time to time.
"Stop looking and prepare the medicine carefully." Ye Shuangbai caught him red-handed and said.
Song Yu withdrew his gaze, with a hint of worry on his face.
Ye Shuangbai said, "This is just the beginning. If you can't even bear this little bit of pain, then there's no need to go to Qingling. The suffering he endured when he became the leader of the Qingyang Sect was much worse than this."
Song Yu said: "The suffering at the beginning was suffering, and the suffering now is also suffering."
When Ye Shuangbai heard this, he clicked his tongue and was shocked. If the current leader heard this, he would probably be so angry that his tail would be up to the sky.
"The more painful things are yet to come." Ye Shuangbai told her in advance, hoping that she would not panic when the time comes.
It was not until Song Yu saw Ye Shuangbai's description of the greater pain that he understood why he didn't care much about the treatment of the previous two days.
On the third day, Ye Shuangbai let Qingling rest for half a day to ease his tension.
His body seemed to be stained with the color of the medicine because he had been soaking in it for two days in a row.
"How is it? Can you still bear it?" Song Yu asked.
Qingling leaned weakly on the stone bed.
He looked at Song Yu's anxious expression and said, "Ayu, even if I don't make it, I've already instructed Zhao Zhou to take you away and send you to a safe place. You can stay out of the spotlight for a while, and when this is over, you can return to Biluo Village."
After listening to this, Song Yu looked at Qing Ling's expression and it took him a long time to find his voice: "You, what do you mean by that?"
Qing Ling lowered his eyes, a trace of death on his face. He said, "I'm just afraid that I can't hold on."
"What do you mean by can't hold on? Don't lie to me. Ye Shuangbai said that he is confident. I will go call him." Song Yu said as he was about to get up and leave.
Qing Ling held her back and said, "Don't go looking for him. It's not his problem, it's mine. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on in the end."
Song Yu stood there in a daze. Qing Ling's words all entered her ears, but she would rather not hear them.
What was Qingling doing? Compromise? Or fear?
After a moment, Song Yu spoke again. She said, "Don't be afraid. I will always be here with you."
Qing Ling said, "Ayu, I'm sorry for you. I was too selfish in the past. If I'm not around anymore, before you go home, please don't forget me, okay?"
After he finished speaking, he raised his head, his eyes, slightly red, looking at Song Yu, full of affection and reluctance.
Song Yu's heart felt as if ants were gnawing at it, causing a lot of pain.
She spoke with a choked voice: "Qingling, you will be fine, and I will never forget you."
Qing Ling said: "Although I will not know these things after my death, but with your words, I will die without regrets."
"What do you mean by dying without regrets? Don't you dare say that again." Song Yu's voice was a little loud.
Qing Ling raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her cheek and comforted her: "Ayu, don't cry. I'm afraid I won't be able to marry you and spend the rest of my life with you, but being able to know you and fall in love with you is the best gift God has given me."
"I'm not crying." Song Yu didn't know why, but when he looked at Qing Ling now, his tears couldn't help falling.
"What kind of a bullshit gift is this?" She couldn't help but curse, "If you die, you'll have nothing. You must live, you must persevere. As long as you live, as long as you live, I, we will get married, we will get married."
Song Yu's words came out without thinking.
Qing Ling's eyes lit up, and he excitedly shook Song Yu's hand, his face glowing with a new light: "Really? Ah Yu, are you serious? Are you willing to marry me and stay with me forever?"
Song Yu's voice was choked with sobs as he nodded: "Yes, yes, so don't give up, you must persevere, and you must believe in yourself."
In the hospital, he saw many cancer patients who lost their lives quickly because they lost their courage and could have held on.
As a doctor, she knows very well how important this tone is to patients.
Qingling said: "Ayu, you don't have to force yourself. I know I am not a good person, let alone a good marriage. I am happy that you can coax me at this time." As he spoke, the glow on his face gradually began to dissipate.
Song Yu hurriedly said: "No, I'm not kidding you, everything I said is true."
"But I can't believe it. I know you have always resented me in your heart." Qingling said.
Song Yu was anxious: "How can you believe it?" They couldn't get married right now.
Qing Ling thought for a moment, then pulled out a palm-sized booklet from behind his back and said to Song Yu, "Unless you sign your name on it."
"What is this?" Song Yu was a little confused.
"Marriage certificate." Qingling said.
"Huh?" Song Yu thought he had misheard.
Just as she was about to react, Qing Ling's voice, with a hint of temptation, rang out again: "Ayu, if you don't want to, I won't force you. I know that someone like me shouldn't expect to grow old with the one I love."
"I'll sign." Song Yu said as he looked at Qingling's suddenly pale face.
