Feng Guang found Qiao Ling and moved into Qiao Ling's house. For the next few days, Mo Qing's days were very quiet, extremely quiet.
He felt as if he had returned to the days before he brought Fengguang back. These were the days he should have been familiar with, but he felt uncomfortable. In the afternoon, he habitually sat under the tree in the yard and carved wood. He would always have the faint illusion of her chattering in his ears. He was restless and irritable. His carving knife wobbled, and he ruined the piece of wood in his hand again.
He threw down what he was holding, glanced at the sky. It was a cloudy day, not too hot. Maybe... he could go out for a walk.
On the other side of the hill, there was another person also looking at the sky, but unlike the other person, she was staring blankly at the sky.
Qiao Ling ran over with a grin, "Xia Fengguang, shall I take you out to play?"
"Oh no." Feng Guang, looking rather listless, shifted her chin to the other hand. Outside the window, the white clouds were being shaped by the wind, and she seemed completely absorbed in watching them.
Qiao Ling blinked. "Xia Fengguang, have you been spending too much time with the doctor and caught his 'lifeless' vibe?"
"Probably," she replied listlessly.
Qiao Ling pulled her to her feet, "Then you should definitely go out and have some fun with me."
Three days ago, when Feng Guang suddenly came looking for her, Qiao Ling was also surprised. However, seeing Feng Guang's dejected expression, she wisely didn't say much. There weren't many empty houses in Black Wind Village, and there were very few women. Li Mang, who brought Feng Guang here, could only arrange for Feng Guang to stay with Qiao Ling temporarily. Considering that Feng Guang had stood up and said he wanted to exchange hostages, Qiao Ling gave up half of her room. She wanted to ask Feng Guang indirectly if he had quarreled with the doctor, but as soon as the doctor was mentioned, Feng Guang would sigh and groan, so Qiao Ling didn't dare to ask any more questions.
No wonder Qiao Ling was so curious. It was because the chief of Black Wind Stronghold didn't seem like a leader of a stronghold at all. He didn't allow others to call him chief, and no one knew his name. So, everyone tacitly called him Doctor. It wasn't that Qiao Ling wasn't curious about Mo Qing, but she had only seen him two or three times since arriving at Black Wind Stronghold. And because of his aura of "I need peace and quiet, don't bother me," she could never find a topic to start a conversation. So, it was understandable that Qiao Ling found it strange that Feng Guang had been brought back by Mo Qing.
Qiao Ling isn't a bad person; it's just that her personality is out of step with ancient times. Isn't it true that whenever she has a chance to go out and have fun, she wants to bring Feng Guang along?
Feng Guang was pulled out of the village by Qiao Ling. At the entrance, they saw Fu Xiang, who was dressed in a flamboyant manner... no, he was extremely flirtatious. When Fu Xiang saw Feng Guang, his expression immediately changed. "Qiao Ling, I only promised to take you out to play, but I didn't promise to take this woman."
"What's wrong with bringing one more person?" Qiao Ling said, hands on her hips, her tone displeased. "What, you, the second-in-command of Black Wind Stronghold, are you afraid you can't protect the two girls when we go out?"
Fu Xiang paused for a moment, then said, "That's not quite how it works..."
He was afraid... afraid that Mo Qing wouldn't know he had taken Xia Fengguang out, and if something happened...
Qiao Ling grabbed Feng Guang's hand and led him away, saying, "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"
Fu Xiang's face darkened, but he still followed behind them.
