Chapter 870: The hemp rope is broken at the thinnest part
Tears welled up in Qiao'er's eyes while she lay on the hospital bed, and she couldn't stop them.
She opened her mouth slightly, and the sound that came out was hoarse and unpleasant, and it was faint and unpleasant. "Thank you...thank you!"
"Qiao Er!"
Hearing Qiao'er's voice again after many years, the Great Elder burst into tears with excitement.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other and retreated to a corner, afraid of disturbing their reunion after thirty years.
"Thanks."
This time, Qiao'er's voice seemed to be clearer, and her crystal eyes looked at the Great Elder seriously.
There seemed to be a mixture of heartache and obsession in those eyes, feeling sorry for the man whose hair had turned white so early for her.
The Great Elder held Qiao'er's hand tightly. Knowing that she had difficulty speaking and could not get up, he hugged her tightly.
"Qiao'er, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so selfish as to trap you for so many years."
"I don't blame you."
Qiao'er couldn't make any sound, but the elder guessed what she said by reading her lips.
"child……"
"The child is fine."
The Great Elder proudly told her, “He inherited your medical talent and is now a famous doctor in Dafeng.
It's just that he is traveling outside right now, don't worry, everyone is fine."
"Thanks a lot."
Qiao Er opened his lips slightly, stared at the Great Elder blankly, and said nothing else.
The two looked at each other greedily, afraid that the other would disappear in the next second.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan couldn't hear what they were saying, and she looked sympathetic.
"I never envy young people who are in love. I only envy those old people who are still together even when they are old and gray."
"Me too."
Song Jiuyuan held Jiang Wan's hand tightly, his eyes fell on the great elder.
At the beginning, Song Jiuyuan disliked the Great Elder very much because of the difficulties he made towards Jiang Wan.
Now he actually had some respect for the Great Elder. If he were him, he might not be able to achieve this.
It’s not that he doesn’t love Wanwan, but he can’t bear to see her living in this state of neither life nor death.
If it were him, he would have left with Wanwan and been freed long ago.
The two were deeply touched. They held each other's hands tightly at this moment and learned to cherish each other.
"Qiao'er! Qiao'er!"
The Great Elder suddenly shouted Qiao'er's name loudly, and Jiang Wan knew that it had finally come to this.
She and Song Jiuyuan hurried forward and saw that Qiao'er's breath in the great elder's arms was getting weaker and weaker.
Her eyes could hardly open, but they were still fixed greedily on the face of the Great Elder.
"Junior sister, please save her, please save her."
The Great Elder lowered his head and put his face close to hers, tears from the corners of his eyes sliding down onto Qiao'er's face.
Qiao Er seemed to sense something, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly, "That's it."
So be it, she didn't like lying on this cold ice bed, nor did she want to see him in such pain.
If she died, she would be relieved, and he might also be able to gradually get out of this pain.
"Feel sorry."
Jiang Wan sighed. She couldn’t change the existing outcome if she had met Qiao Er thirty years ago.
Maybe she could have saved Qiao'er's life, but it took too long.
In fact, Qiao'er's consciousness was probably confused at the moment, but letting the Great Elder see her was also considered to have fulfilled his wish.
"Thanks."
Qiao'er opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word, but Jiang Wan could still understand her lip shape.
She couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes. She had told herself since she was studying medicine that she shouldn't empathize easily.
However, sometimes people simply cannot control themselves, seeing the panicked look in the great elder's eyes.
Qiao'er gradually died in his arms, and the Great Elder cried uncontrollably.
After thirty years, he finally saw off his most beloved person with his own hands.
"Qiao Er."
The Great Elder was screaming in despair, and Jiang Wan knew that no words could comfort the Great Elder at this moment.
She and Song Jiuyuan stood silently behind the Great Elder. At this time, the Valley Master and Old Man Ouyang walked in from outside.
Judging from their expressions, they obviously didn’t just arrive. They must have been waiting outside for a while.
"Junior sister is worthy of being called Junior sister. She has accomplished something that none of us could do."
Old man Ouyang raised his chin proudly and once again sighed that he had a good eye for talent.
If he hadn't shamelessly pestered Junior Sister, there was no way she would be from Medicine King Valley.
"Grand Elder."
The Valley Master had a good relationship with the Great Elder, so he walked up to the Great Elder.
"I remember when Junior Sister Qiaoer was here, she said she was most afraid of the cold. You've left her here for thirty years.
Now that you can leave peacefully, you are relieved. You should let it go."
This was not the first time they had advised the Great Elder. The Great Elder, who had never listened in the past, suddenly came to his senses at this moment.
"Master Brother is right. She is so afraid of the cold. I shouldn't let her lie on such a cold ice bed."
The Great Elder carried Qiao'er out of the ice bed and walked outside. No one stopped him.
It was not until he walked away that Old Man Ouyang asked Jiang Wan curiously:
"Junior sister, how did you do it?"
"It's a long story."
Jiang Wan is not a person who likes to hide things, but at this moment her eyes are flickering.
The Valley Master knew that she might have a secret, so he said to Old Man Ouyang unhappily:
"Okay, Qiao'er, our former junior sister, has passed away. Let's help the Great Elder bury her."
“You are…”
Old man Ouyang originally wanted to criticize the Valley Master, but then he felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
So he did not insist, but followed the valley master out of the cave.
Only Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan were left in the cave, and Song Jiuyuan had a serious look in his eyes.
"Wanwan, don't take risks anymore."
"Um."
Jiang Wan did not refute. She felt very depressed and uncomfortable. The two of them walked hand in hand to the foot of the mountain.
Then he saw the Great Elder placing Qiao'er in a coffin that had been prepared long ago.
Several disciples were digging behind the Great Elder's house. This was probably the place the Great Elder had chosen for Qiao'er to be placed.
They walked over quickly, and Jiang Wan was puzzled, "Brother, don't the Great Elder and Qiao Er have another son?
Why didn't you bury him before his son came back?"
In this icy and snowy weather, the bodies aren't likely to rot that easily, so it should be in time for their children to come back.
The Valley Master looked up at her inexplicably and said, "The Great Elder may not have told you.
His son indeed inherited the talents of both husband and wife and became an excellent doctor.
But he died in a plague, otherwise the Great Elder wouldn't have aged so quickly."
"What?"
Jiang Wan still vaguely remembered what the Great Elder and Qiao Er said, so did he say those things just to reassure Qiao Er?
She was moved and the hemp rope broke at the thinnest part.
This great elder is so pitiful.
She suddenly forgave him for targeting her before.
"Qiao'er was still alive before, and was the pillar that kept the Great Elder alive."
Old man Ouyang's words were always unpleasant to the ear, but this time he really cared about the other person.
"Brother, you should pay more attention to him, so that he won't get upset."
