563 Leaving the Valley, a Man's Dignity and Pride
The nervousness and worry disappeared because of Feng Qingchen's teasing words. Wang Jinling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to explain himself, but Feng Qingchen was right and he couldn't refute it. The woman in purple did approach him step by step because of his appearance.
He has a face and demeanor that can captivate the world, but he can't make the woman in front of him fall in love with him; he has talent and demeanor that can make women crazy, but he can't make the woman in front of him crazy about him.
Facing his closeness, she accepted it calmly, without feeling uncomfortable or moved. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He should cry at the slowness of the woman in front of him, who really treated him as a confidant, and laugh at her trust in him. Because of her trust, he couldn't let her down, lest she be unable to get along with him.
Wang Jinling's smiling eyes flashed with a hint of loss and sadness. Before Feng Qingchen noticed, he disappeared and smiled to change the subject: "Qingchen, I'm not sure if the people from Xuanxiao Palace are still here. It may be dangerous for us to go out."
And he could do nothing except drag Feng Qingchen down.
"We have to go even if there is danger. No matter if the people from Xuanxiao Palace are here or not, we have to go out. Staying here will only lead to death. I didn't find anyone outside when I came to the canyon. I think they should be waiting for us to leave the valley. Since the other party is well-rested, we must go out in the best condition. If we are late... we will be starving and won't even have the strength to run, so how can we escape from them?"
The longer they stayed in the canyon, the smaller their advantage became. And to be honest, they were the only two living people in the huge canyon, a man and a woman. Some embarrassing things were bound to happen over time. In order to prevent their feelings from deteriorating, Feng Qingchen decided that no matter how dangerous it was outside, she would go out.
"Okay, let's go. I'll trouble you again for the rest of the journey." He could make the enemy disappear into thin air with just a chat and a wave of his hand, but now he couldn't even walk out of the canyon. It must be said that this was a huge blow to him as a man. If he wasn't open-minded and the woman in front of him was not so gentle and graceful, he would definitely not be able to accept it.
"Jin Ling, I don't like to hear such words. Don't talk about whether it's troublesome or not. Although we are not related by blood, in my heart, you and I are the same family. There is no trouble or gratitude between us. If I were in danger, you would come to save me too, right? You would do more for me."
"Yes, as long as Feng Qingchen needs Wang Jinling, Wang Jinling will definitely show up." Wang Jinling solemnly promised. Similarly, if Feng Qingchen doesn't need Wang Jinling, Wang Jinling will not show up.
He can do anything for Feng Qingchen, and likes that Feng Qingchen trusts him and needs him in everything, but he doesn't want to rely on Feng Qingchen in everything. For a strong person, they are not used to relying on others for everything, even if this person is someone he recognizes.
Although Wang Jinling is not a strong man in terms of martial arts, he is a well-deserved strong man in terms of strength and ability. His current situation is a huge blow to Jinling's self-esteem as a strong man and as a man.
But...reality will not change because of human will.
Since she was leaving, she had to clean up the things in the canyon. Feng Qingchen had no intention of coming back again. Falling from a height of several hundred meters, she would lose half her life if she didn't die. She didn't want to be trapped in the canyon and starve to death.
Feng Qingchen found a place, buried the bodies of those loyal guards, and then prepared to climb up. Of course, given Wang Jinling's condition, it was difficult for him to even walk, so Feng Qingchen had to carry him out of the canyon.
A grown man has to rely on Feng Qingchen, a woman, in everything. Even after listening to Feng Qingchen's explanation, the depression in his heart will not be reduced. But Wang Jinling understands that this is not the time to be stubborn. He lies on Feng Qingchen without any reluctance and lets Feng Qingchen take him out.
Even with a person on his back, Feng Qingchen's speed did not slow down much. It was not because Feng Qingchen had good physical strength, but because Wang Jinling was too thin and weighed even less than Feng Qingchen, a girl.
Feng Qingchen carried Wang Jinling on his back and came to the place where she went down the canyon. He shook the rope above, and after making sure it was stable enough, Feng Qingchen took out the safety rope and wrapped it around himself and Wang Jinling.
"Jin Ling, we are going up, please be careful." Feng Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, held the rope with both hands, and climbed up with gritted teeth.
No matter how light Wang Jinling was, Feng Qingchen still felt his legs weak at this moment. It was very difficult for him to climb up alone, let alone carry someone on his back.
Every step seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, but Feng Qingchen couldn't relax. She was afraid that if she took a break, she would no longer have the motivation to climb up.
"Qingchen, I'm sorry. Seeing you working so hard, I really feel incompetent." Lying on Feng Qingchen's back, Wang Jinling looked at Feng Qingchen with a big head of hair. His eyes became increasingly dim, and he fell silent.
At this time, he said nothing and did nothing, just giving Qingchen the best help.
However, after climbing for dozens of meters, Feng Qingchen felt like she couldn't hold on any longer. If she hadn't installed a clip at the bottom of the canyon when she was going down, she would not have been able to climb even one step.
"I still overestimated my physical strength." She is an excellent doctor, not an excellent soldier. Even in her previous life, she was just a qualified military doctor.
There are many women doctors doing first aid on the battlefield, but there are very few women accompanying military doctors. Only one out of a hundred will do, and that woman is almost the same as a man in terms of appearance and physical fitness.
It's not that women are unwilling to do this kind of dangerous work, but that women's physical strength and endurance are naturally inferior to men. Carrying heavy medicine boxes, most women cannot run fast or hold on for too long. When encountering danger, they will only cause trouble to their companions.
In her previous life, in order to become a qualified military doctor, in addition to her excellent medical skills, she was also good in military and physical fitness. Although she was not as good as the best soldiers, she was no worse than ordinary soldiers, otherwise the army would not have made an exception to accept her.
You have to know that the army is full of men. They don't like female doctors. Female doctors are troublesome to them. Even if the female doctor is not picky or generous, there will inevitably be some embarrassing things.
When fighting in the wild, there is no quality of life to speak of. The accompanying doctors have to eat and sleep with the soldiers. When things are good, they can even have a tent. If there is an emergency military task, everyone just falls to the ground and sleeps. There is no need to be so particular. If you continue to be particular, you may even lose your life.
Therefore, when Feng Qingchen was taking care of Wang Jinling, he did not distinguish between men and women. In the wild, when the war was intense, at the critical moment of life and death, who cared whether you were a man or a woman? Being a woman would only be more unlucky. In addition to being killed, she might also be insulted.
Once the mission is carried out, Feng Qingchen no longer distinguishes between men and women, but only companions and enemies. If the person is an enemy, he will be killed. If the person is a companion, they will support each other and survive!
