Chapter 924 (2/2)
”Oh.” the old man nodded gently, ”no wonder he said it was a very fresh experience, really fresh...”
Li Qing suddenly felt a strange emotion: ”did you say it?”
”That kind of pain...” when the old man said this, he couldn't help shivering and showed a look of fear. ”If it were you, you would tell him all the truth without reservation.”
Li Qing didn't say a word, but he knew very well that the ancient boat did have this ability.
The old man said, ”he kept his word. After I answered all the questions, he spared my life.”
Li Qing shrugged and leaned gently against the back of the chair: ”even if you say so, I still don't believe you are Zhao Qili. It's only more than half a month since the last face I saw with Zhao Qili. I really can't believe he will grow old like this.”
The hand holding the cup tightened. The old man picked up the water cup and drank water. His lips moved slightly, and then he lifted his neck to drink all the water in the cup.
”That's what happened later.” the old man whispered, ”the ancient boat showed me a way. I climbed out of the ground and almost exhausted all my strength. There were some people searching outside. I suspected they were military people and didn't dare to act rashly. When it was dark, I sneaked out and slipped into daqianpo town.”
Li Qing said in a deep voice, ”why don't you dare to contact them?”
”The mission failed.” the old man only answered this sentence, but Li Qing already understood what he meant.
”I hid in daqianpo town for three days. I was going to flee overseas with my relationship...” the old man's voice was very low. ”On the fourth morning, I began to lose my hair, wrinkles and color spots appeared on my face, and my eyesight was nearly reduced. Even with glasses, I couldn't see clearly five meters away.”
Li Qing's body was tight and his face was stunned: ”what do you mean...”
”Yes, I have premature aging. At first, I just thought it was physical exertion, weakness and need to rest. In this way, it took me a few days to feel the drastic changes in my body. In addition to the serious decline in my physical fitness, there were common senile diseases such as arthritis. My aging speed was very fast. It was beyond recognition in just more than ten days.” The old man smiled bitterly, ”at this point, I'm not in a hurry to escape China. After all, no one can recognize me.”
Staring at the old cheek in front of him, Li Qing stood up straight, opened his mouth and said a word for a long time. His voice was very difficult: ”you... Are you really Zhao Qili?”
The old man looked up and stared at Li Qing. His face suddenly calmed down: ”you haven't changed at all. It's really enviable. I've been sitting in a time machine for half a month. One day is better than one year. If I continue like this, I'll come to an end in a short time.”
While stunned, Li Qing was still puzzled: ”what's the matter?” ”I don't know, but... I doubt it's the reason for that light.” ”that light?” ”do you remember?” the old man warned, ”before we were unconscious, a blue light appeared on our heads, which could penetrate the skin and reveal the bones.” Li Qing nodded: ”But why are you the only one like this?” ”I don't know.” the old man shook his head again, ”I thought you were in the same situation as me, so I thought of meeting you after I found the problem. Fortunately, I still had some relations in Longxi and heard that you were in Longxi third hospital. But when I arrived, you had already left, so I went to find another person.” Holding the glasses, the old man lowered his head and stared at the grayish brown age spots on the skin of his forearm: ”I went to the Hakka stronghold and met the little girl named Caiyun.” ”Caiyun?” the name that was supposed to be forgotten was mentioned again by the people in front of him. Li Qing felt very uncomfortable for a moment, but he still hardened his head and asked, ”what did she say?” ”nothing.” The old man shook his head slowly. ”She ridiculed me and said that I was angry with the gods, so I was punished by heaven. I was very angry and wanted to force her to reveal the news to me. As a result... Her skill was very good. If it wasn't my heyday, I couldn't do anything to her. Until then, I suddenly realized that this was also a very complicated role.” Li Qing nodded gently, ”then you came to Lingang?” ”yes, I have no choice. The key problem is that I inquired about your situation in Longxi Third Hospital, and finally found that no one has the symptoms of premature aging like me. So I wonder if I missed something after we parted, which caused such symptoms.” Under that calm cheek, there was undoubtedly a thick hope. Even through the gray lens, Li Qing could feel the heat in each other's eyes. Li Qing sat down again and frowned into meditation. The study was silent, and time passed by. After seven or eight minutes, Li Qing raised her head: ”I can't help you.” ”I can tell you everything after I separated from you.” Li Qing said, ”but I didn't find any way to get rid of this symptom.” the old man's face showed disappointment, but he nodded with restraint: ”thank you anyway.” ”well, wait a minute.” Li Qing said, turning out her cell phone from her pocket and making a phone call, ”Hello, this is Li Qing. Don't send the information. I have something more important this afternoon. Yes, put it first... Well, that's it.” when she hung up, Li Qing looked dignified: ”tell me from the moment I woke up...” An hour later, Li Qing told the old man across the road in detail. The latter asked a few more questions, and Li Qing answered them patiently. After all this, both of them fell into a brief silence. The old man across the street seemed to be considering the small details of the whole action, and Li Qing was also judging the authenticity of the old man's words in front of him. ”You're right. No one can help me. Maybe I'm really damned.” the old man's face showed a sad color. He bent over and picked up the snake skin pocket around him, turned it inside, and took out something and handed it to Li Qing. ”This is...” Li Qing was stunned and stared at the thing in the old man's hand. It was a knitted pocket with exquisite embroidery. ”The ancient boat asked me to give it to you.” the old man's voice was gentle, ”he said it was the meaning of the ancient moon.” Li Qing suddenly stood up from his chair and stared at the old man opposite, ”you see the ancient moon!” after a moment of silence, the old man nodded: ”HMM.” ”she's still alive?” ”HMM.” ”how's she?” ”she... Was badly hurt.” The old man replied in a daze, ”I heard her talking to Gu Zhou and talking about you. But her voice was very weak and didn't hear clearly. Gu Zhou looked very cowardly in front of her. No matter what she said, she agreed. Maybe Gu Zhou could let me go and let me send you this thing.” Li Qing took her pocket and gently clenched it in her hand: ”does she have something to say to me?” ”She explained something to Guzhou and then fainted. I saw Guzhou take her away. I don't know where she took her. I couldn't say anything, but Guzhou has something to bring you. Maybe you can repeat her words.” this novel has been translated byand if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation
