Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 150 Where is Jingchen?

Xiao Guoer's mind suddenly became extremely clear, and she didn't care at all whether she had said anything in her daze that might expose her identity.

A deeper fear quickly came over her, and she couldn't help but struggle to get up again, her tone choking with panic, "Prince! Where's Jingchen? Is he okay?"

Her body was still restrained on the bed by the man's strong arms, blood was still dripping from her wrists, but her eyes were searching around frantically.

The house seemed to belong to a village farmer's home, with simple tables, chairs, and wardrobes. Apart from her, the Eighth Prince, and the old doctor, there was no third person.

I didn't see Tang Jingchen, what happened to him? She was so anxious that tears came out, and she didn't notice the gloomy face of the man above her.

Finally, the old doctor couldn't bear it anymore. This kid was too excited!

"Young Master Tang is next door, and he is detoxifying just like you!"

After hearing this, Xiao Guoer finally felt relieved, calmed down and stopped struggling.

Zhao Yunrong made sure that she would not move anymore and would not affect the old doctor's acupuncture, so he loosened his grip and let go of her arms and shoulders.

Xiao Guoer's worry disappeared, and after her heart completely settled back down in her stomach, she couldn't help but focus her attention back on her aching wrist.

The weak voice still contained a trace of trembling after being frightened, "Old man, can bleeding really remove the poison like this? I don't have much blood... How much should I drain? Will the snake venom be removed in the end, but I will die from excessive blood loss?"

Zhao Yunrong's gloomy eyes suddenly glanced at the person on the bed, and he turned his head away, as if he couldn't stand the noise of someone waking up. Looking at the blood dripping from the slender wrist, which had gradually turned from black to red, he got up and left the room.

Without the terrifying Eighth Prince in the room, the old doctor was no longer reserved. He was very indignant that Xiao Guo'er actually doubted his medical skills. He immediately blew his beard and glared at her and shouted, "This is not a simple bloodletting! This is the poisonous blood that I forced to the wrist with acupuncture! Fortunately, you and Mr. Tang are lucky to have met me! Not everyone can master my unique skills!"

Only then did Xiao Guoer feel that there were densely packed silver needles on her neck.

"The old gentleman is a superb doctor, and it is my fault that I did not recognize his talent. After I have let his blood out and removed the poison, I will definitely give him a big plaque! How about writing 'The Living Hua Tuo'?" Xiao Guoer hurriedly apologized with a smile.

The old doctor's anger gradually subsided under Xiao Guo'er's flattery. He skillfully inserted a needle into her wrist to stop the bleeding with one hand, and stroked his beard proudly with the other hand. He explained to her in a good mood, "This method can only force out 90% of the snake venom. The remaining residual toxins must be slowly eliminated by drinking medicine. I will prescribe a prescription for you and Mr. Tang. You drink it for five days and the disease will be cured!"

"Wow! The old man is truly a role model for contemporary doctors. His medical skills and kindness are truly admirable!"

Outside the house, Shen Jing came from a distance, carrying a pot of water. He walked in front of his master and couldn't help wondering: Why is the master standing outside? With a dark and unhappy look on his face? Aren't Xiao Guoer and Tang Jingchen safe?

"Your Majesty, please drink some water. The well water in the village is quite sweet."

"Give him a drink." Zhao Yunrong moved his head slightly and raised his chin towards the house.

Shen Jing understood and walked into the room, just in time to hear an extremely flattering voice, "Wow! The old man's acupuncture skills are really great! The bleeding stopped after just a few stitches, so magical! So amazing!"

Shen Jing rolled his eyes. No wonder the prince had that expression...

When Xiao Guoer saw Shen Jing coming in, her eyes instantly lit up, "Master Shen! Thanks to you for saving my life today!"

Shen Jing pursed his lips slightly, without saying much, but silently handed the kettle in his hand to Xiao Guoer, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Xiao Guoer's eyes fell on the torn corner of his clothes, and she muttered to herself: This Lord Shen is a cold-faced person with a warm heart! I must find a chance to repay him in the future!

Because of the snake venom of Tang Jingchen and Xiao Guoer, the group was delayed in Xilin Village until the early morning.

There weren't many delicious dishes in the village to entertain these distinguished guests, but the villagers still did their best to slaughter two chickens that were originally intended to be eaten during the New Year, in the hope of making lunch a little more hearty.

Xiao Guo'er was still feeling a little dizzy as the poison had not yet cleared up, but her appetite was still good. She looked at the fragrant chicken leg in the bowl and ate it cleanly.

After she gave him acupuncture and let his blood flow, she came to see Tang Jingchen.

There are only two of them in this room now, and the others should be resting and eating at other farmers' homes.

Xiao Guoer finished the rice in the bowl and looked up to see Tang Jingchen with a pale face. He only took two bites of the rice in the bowl before putting it down.

She frowned. Her poison was not as serious as his. Plus, she had some basic martial arts skills, so she would recover faster than him. He was not like her who was still weak.

"You can't do this. You need to eat more to replenish your energy and get better faster! The old man also said that you need to drink more water to expel the remaining toxins in your body faster!"

After saying that, she wanted to hand the kettle to Tang Jingchen, but was surprised to find that the kettle was empty.

She stood up and walked out while instructing, "You eat first, I'll get some water."

Tang Jingchen frowned. Although he had no appetite, he obediently picked up the bowl again and forced himself to eat a few more mouthfuls of rice.

Xiao Guoer left the house and successfully found the hostess of the farmhouse. "Sister-in-law, I want to drink some water. Do you have any hot water?"

The peasant woman was particularly enthusiastic and responded quickly, "The water just ran out. Please wait a moment. I will go get some water. The well is at the entrance of the village, close to our home. It will be ready in a moment!"

Xiao Guoer was very grateful, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

This village is free of plague, peaceful and tranquil, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world. The villagers' faces are filled with satisfied smiles brought by a comfortable life.

Xiao Guo'er thought about this trip up the mountain, how he almost lost his life twice and got nothing, and his mood sank to the bottom.

Today is the second day, and there is less than a day and a half left!

What is the cause of this plague? !

Xiao Guoer felt her dizzy head becoming more and more confused, her thoughts tangled like a tangled mess. As long as she tried to think a little harder, she would feel a headache.

The peasant woman came back very quickly as expected. Her arms were very strong as they were used to doing rough work. Even though she was carrying a full bucket of water, she was still able to walk briskly.

Xiao Guoer temporarily put aside the complicated worries in his mind and hurried forward to help the peasant woman fetch water.

"Sister-in-law, let me help you."
