Chapter 1366: The Story of Ling and Heng (629)
That night, Feng Ling went to Carrie’s house again. This time, she didn’t enter Carrie’s yard but stood outside for a while.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she turned slightly to look in.
Carrie was holding a basin of blood-stained clothes, but this time she didn’t seem to plan on going to the river outside to wash them. Instead, she opened a large water tank in the yard and brought water from inside. She squatted in the yard to wash the bloodstains on the clothes.
Although the sky was already dark and there were no streetlights in a poor place like the Gorkin Farm, Feng Ling’s eyesight had always been good. Her eyesight was not affected by night at all. She could accurately tell that the blood on his clothes must have been fresh. In other words, Li Nanheng’s wounds had yet to heal and were becoming more and more serious.
Based on Carrie’s frequency of washing these bloody clothes, his injuries should be heavier than K’s.
Right now, aside from his broken leg and slightly slow reaction, everything else was fine. At least K could talk to her normally now. As long as he rested for a few more days, when Tam and Lin Cheng arrived, they could help bring him back.
As for Li Nanheng, it seemed like his wounds were often covered in blood.
Feng Ling stood silently outside the yard to watch Carrie wash the clothes. After watching for a long time, she gently pushed open the door and walked in.
The door outside the yard suddenly opened with a creak. Carrie’s hand paused in the water. She turned back to see that it was Feng Ling.
Knowing that Feng Ling was indeed related to the person inside, Carrie couldn’t be too guarded and cold to her right now. However, she still glanced at her unhappily. “What time is it? It’s so late. Why are you here again?”
“I brought a lot of prescribed medicine from the doctor.” Feng Ling was actually carrying a bag of things. She placed the medicine on the stone table next to Carrie. “Don’t mind me. I didn’t mean to underestimate your medical skills. I was just worried that you didn’t have enough medicine here, so I asked the doctor for some.”
Carrie still didn’t have a good expression. She didn’t even look at the medicine and lowered her head to continue washing the clothes. As she washed her hands, she said coldly, “You make it sound good. You’re afraid that my medicine is problematic, right?”
Feng Ling looked at her. “Miss Carrie, since you’re willing to save a life, it means that you’re a very kind and warm-hearted person. You’re also very smart. You should know that I’m not lying. I can also guess the reason why he refuses to see me. But please let me go in to see him. At least let me know how badly he’s injured. If it’s really serious, he has to immediately return to his original place and be treated as soon as possible. Also, if his eyes really can’t see, he should go to a proper hospital for a proper checkup. He should be treated as soon as possible.”
“He already said he doesn’t know you, yet you insist on sticking to him. He doesn’t even want to see you, and you keep saying that you’re his fiancée. Aren’t you ashamed?” When Carrie was hiding something in her heart, she wasn’t very good at hiding it. She didn’t want to continue the topic of whether that person wanted to see her or not. She just raised her eyes to look at her as she spoke. “I’ve already expressed it very clearly in the day. You’re also very clear about his attitude. He doesn’t know you.”
“Granny Mai is a very gentle person. I don’t wish to have any unhappiness with her granddaughter. I also hope that Miss Carrie won’t be too stubborn.” Feng Ling’s voice and yes turned cold.
Carrie immediately sneered. “You barged into my house in the middle of the night. If I don’t let you in, how can you force your way in?”
Feng Ling did not speak but answered with her actions.
She turned and headed straight for the tightly shut door.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Seeing that she really intended to force her way in, Carrie quickly stood up and chased after her. She stepped forward and opened her arms to block the tightly shut door. She stared at the woman who had lost most of her patience and clearly did not want to be entangled with her anymore. She glared at her. “This is my home! You can’t barge in!”
“What if I insist on going in?” Feng Ling’s eyes were not especially cold, but her gaze was indeed like a thin layer of smoke behind the cold fog.
She had indeed lost her patience.
Li Nanheng’s treatment could not be delayed.
“Then I’ll ask the people here to drive you out!” Carrie said as she pulled a bell by the door.
Feng Ling glanced at the bell. If her guess was right, this should be a signal used by the locals of Gorkin Farm. If it rang, the people nearby would hear it. Now that it was late at night, they would hear it clearly. In other words, as long as the bell rang, many people would rush over.
Carrie stared at Feng Ling and suddenly said, “Did you suddenly leave in the afternoon because my grandmother is here? You don’t want her to see your barbaric side. Are you afraid that she’ll know that she’ve taken in a robber?”
In the past, Feng Ling never had a particularly deep impression of whether she was a man or a woman.
However, at this moment, a certain woman’s sixth sense was telling her.
This Carrie refused to let her in to see Li Nanheng. Besides Li Nanheng himself, she also had her own selfish motives.
No matter what kind of selfish motives she had, Li Nanheng had to return to America with her.
“A life is at stake, Miss Crrie. He is an injured person, a patient. His mind is not clear. Is your mind not clear as well?” Feng Ling did not wish to cause trouble in the Gorkin Farm so late at night, but she did not give in. “Do you wish for him to die here, or do you wish for him to go to a professional hospital to receive proper treatment and surgery?”
Carrie’s expression faltered because of her words. “What proper hospital? I’ve never seen it. I’ve been here since I was young. Even when I catch a cold or get injured, I use our medicine. It’s just as good. Don’t underestimate the people here…”
“Don’t deliberately misinterpret my words. You know very well what I’m talking about.” Feng Ling looked at her coldly. “If you delay any longer, you’ll be no different from a murderer.”
Hearing the words ‘murderer’, Carrie’s expression stiffened. Then she abruptly glared at her. “What nonsense are you talking about…”
Before she could finish speaking, the door behind her opened.
There were no lights in the courtyard, only the bright moonlight illuminating the place.
The moment she heard the door, Carrie’s movements faltered. She abruptly turned her head, and almost at the same time as Feng Ling, she saw that the man had gotten off the bed and was standing by the door.
