Chapter 1258: The Story of Ling and Heng (521)

Feng Ling carried Qin Qiu and ran out.

The moment XI Base’s rescue team rushed over, she saw that they had come. Her legs gave way and she stumbled, almost kneeling on the ground.

The rescue team member rushed forward to support her. “Feng Ling!”

They hadn’t seen each other for several months, but they didn’t ask anything. As they helped her up, they quickly picked up the unconscious Qin Qiu. “The smoke inside is so thick. Why did you and Boss take off the mask?”

“I’m fine.” Earlier, Li Nanheng had put it on her again, but she didn’t put it on because she was in a hurry. She still inhaled some smoke. She gasped in discomfort and glanced at them. Then she looked at Qin Qiu, who had been quickly helped into the helicopter. She turned around and saw that Mr. Feng had also been sent into the helicopter by Li Nanheng.

At this time, the group of people from the fire brigade also rushed over to cooperate. After confirming that there was no one else in the jungle, they began to perform emergency rescue work.

But the fire was too big. It was not easy to put out the fire.

This matter was not under the management of XI Base. Right now, the most important thing is to save people’s lives.

After receiving Boss Li’s instructions, the members of XI Base took the two old people in the fire truck into another helicopter. Without any delay, they drove the helicopter to the hospital.

Feng Ling got into Li Nanheng’s helicopter. Mrs. Feng and Mr. Feng were both unconscious on the plane. Their faces were messy. She didn’t dare to check their breaths, but when she carried Qin Qiu out, she didn’t seem to sense Qin Qiu’s breath.

Such a thick smoke.

Such a situation could not be explained by external injuries or internal injuries. In such a large fire and such with such thick smoke, even a short five minutes was enough to be fatal. Earlier, when she came out carrying someone on her back, she tried her best to adjust her breathing to prevent herself from choking on the smoke, but right now, her lungs were hurting terribly, and there seemed to be countless needles p.r.i.c.king her throat.

If it was just a wound that could bleed, then everything would be fine. There might still be a lot of life left in the emergency room.

But in this situation.

She watched as the couple lay there silently. She watched as the base doctor, who had rushed over with them, lifted their eyelids to check on them. Seeing the base doctor’s furrowed brows, her heart sank.

She suddenly felt a weight on her hand. Li Nanheng had already taken off his jacket. He sat by her side and held her hand tightly.

“Don’t worry.” The man’s voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e from the smoke, but his condition was clearly much better than hers. Looking at her like this, the heartache and worry in his eyes were more than half, and the other half was the calmness and composure he had to maintain in this situation.

Feng Ling didn’t say anything. She didn’t know how pale she was.

Last night, she had some gastric problems. Although the nausea was gone, the discomfort in her stomach was still there. After the stimulation and torture earlier, she now felt as if her entire stomach had been turned over. Looking at Qin Qiu and Mr. Feng lying there motionless and not making any sound, her heart also turned over.

It was as though her internal organs were hurting.

But in the end, she did not say anything. She only undid the zipper of her jacket with one hand and let out a long breath. She took off the jacket that had completely wrapped around her and threw it aside. Her shoulder-length hair was drenched in sweat and stuck to her cheeks and neck. Her body was also covered in sweat.

She didn’t know if she had seen wrongly or if it was because of the airflow, but the plane was a bit b.u.mpy. She seemed to see the base doctor gently shake his head after the examination, and his eyes were filled with helplessness. Feng Ling’s gaze swept past the base doctor’s face and then fell on the couple.

Her hands were extremely cold in an instant. Li Nanheng held her tightly and held her in his arms. “They’re all fine here. Don’t worry, they’ll be fine. If you’re uncomfortable, close your eyes for a while. When we get to the hospital, we will send them for emergency treatment. Don’t be afraid.”

Feng Ling closed her eyes and leaned in his arms. Finally, she allowed the discomfort and exhaustion that surround her.

Her lips moved, and her voice was extremely hoa.r.s.e. “It’s all my fault.”

“Blame you for what?” Hearing these words, Li Nanheng frowned and tightened his grip on her shoulders. “Don’t think too much. What does this have to do with you?”

“Actually, we should have left a long time ago. It’s just that I couldn’t bear to leave. There were so many responsibilities waiting for us, but I hid in a secluded world and selfishly enjoyed so many stolen days. If I had gone back earlier, perhaps they wouldn’t have come to look for me, or perhaps…”

“Feng Ling.” Li Nanheng held her firmly in his arms. “You know very well that this has nothing to do with you. Don’t rush to take the blame on yourself. The cause of the fire isn’t clear yet. I’m not sure what happened to Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng after they entered the jungle. If you continue to be so negative, I’m afraid I’ll take you back to the base. I won’t even let you go to the hospital. You can forget about seeing the Feng family.”

Feng Ling didn’t speak anymore. She just closed her eyes and leaned weakly in his arms. After a long time, when Li Nanheng thought she was tired and fell asleep in his arms, he suddenly heard a soft sob.

Feng Ling was crying.

However, she was afraid that someone would find out that she was crying, so she could only hide in his arms and could not help but make a little noise.

Li Nanheng did not speak. He held her in his arms and gently stroked the back of her head as if coaxing an injured little beast. He lowered his head and kissed her hair to comfort her. At the same time, he turned to look at the doctor.

Seeing that Feng Ling didn’t look at them for a while, the doctor also met Li Nanheng’s gaze. He sighed and shook his head lightly.

It was helpless.

The cabin was very quiet. No one spoke. If one listened carefully, they could only vaguely hear Feng Ling’s soft sobs, but she really tried her best to suppress them. She tried her best to hide her voice and buried her face in his arms. Her hands gripped his clothes tightly, causing creases to appear, but her fingers were still tightly gripping him.

In all these years, the number of times Feng Ling cried could be counted on five fingers, let alone in front of so many members of the base.

Li Nanheng glanced at the couple again and his eyes darkened. He abruptly picked up the sobbing Feng Ling in his arms and carried her into the bathroom of the helicopter.
