Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 519: Chapter 376: Walking into a Trap

At Si Xi’s bewildered question, Gu Changsheng’s lips curled slightly, forming a chilling arc. His large phoenix eyes turned dangerously slitted as he spoke in a deep voice, ”Set up the crossbow machine, string the Bone-Piercing Arrow, I must wait! I must wait for them to fall into the trap themselves!”

In this world, there is no one who can harm her and escape unscathed!

No one can get away with it!

Yhan Qinrui! Her heart bent on harming, her resolve to kill undying! She even dares to use the ostracized Hateful Victory Curse!

Even though this allowed her to see her grandfather, it was unforgivable!

A bloodthirsty gleam flashed through Gu Changsheng’s eyes!

She had never been one of good nature! Even though she practiced medicine to aid the world, it couldn’t change the fact that she was a Special Forces soldier who had killed numerous enemies!

The violent genes within her were boiling and surging—she wanted Yhan Qinrui to pay a blood debt with blood!

After a night of peaceful sleep, upon waking, Gu Changsheng, unable to control her Inner Strength, once again began to live carefully!

Carefully washing up, carefully changing clothes!

Even her movements were as slow as possible, fearing that any carelessness might cause a big commotion!

It was all about the Silver! The thought alone was painful!

To think it could be destroyed by her own hands made it even more heart-wrenching!

Tan Nv had already awakened, and seeing the revived Gu Changsheng, Tan Nv lay on the bed and laughed with relief, her chaotic eyes filled with peace.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng’s heart inexplicably ached!

No one should die for someone else!

She, Gu Changsheng, didn’t hold the privilege to make Tan Nv repeatedly risk everything to save her!

Death is insignificant!

That’s what Tan Nv vowed when she was determined to revive her!

But how could she justify letting Tan Nv exchange her life for hers?

At that moment, Gu Changsheng suddenly lacked the courage to face Tan Nv and had to hastily instruct a few words before fleeing in disarray!

”Xiao Si Xi, is my life really that crucial?” Gu Changsheng muttered absentmindedly as she walked on the cobblestone path to Peach Blossom Cottage.

Si Xi, following closely behind, immediately nodded solemnly upon hearing this, ”Of course! The mistress’s life is Si Xi’s life!”

At this, Gu Changsheng was momentarily speechless, and after a while, she let out a deep sigh!

She had seen how the people in her previous life self-servingly chased after their desires, believing that to be the truest interpretation of human nature!

Was she mistaken, after all?

In this timeline, she had met so many people, simple and unadorned, who would give anything for their beliefs and loyalty!

Even their lives...

This was servility, yet also loyalty...

It gave her a sense of a burden too great to bear!

Peach Blossom Cottage was the name Gu Changsheng insisted on giving to the building where Little Monk Bu Jie lived, despite the monk’s displeasure. Nevertheless, Gu Changsheng had a set of peach blossom small seals written and had someone make a nameplate, which was then hung high up on Peach Blossom Cottage.

Before even approaching Peach Blossom Cottage, Gu Changsheng heard the distant sounds of wooden fish!

Bursts of sacred fragrances, the ongoing sound of wooden fish...

Suddenly, Gu Changsheng felt a bewildering sense of disorientation...

”Mistress, Little Monk Bu Jie is awake too!” Hearing the sound of the wooden fish, Si Xi immediately exclaimed joyfully.

In the entire Gu residence, there was only one person who would strike the wooden fish, and that was the monk-like existence in the household, Little Monk Shang Xie!

”Let’s go, come with me to see him!” Gu Changsheng regained her composure and spoke softly, stepping towards Peach Blossom Cottage.

On the fourth floor, the door to Little Monk Bu Jie’s Zen Room was tightly closed. Listening to the wooden fish sounds coming from inside, Gu Changsheng thought for a moment, then spoke, ”Shang Xie, thank you! Thank you for fulfilling my wishes, leaving me with no worries!”

After a while, Little Monk Bu Jie’s voice came from inside, ”Benefactor Changsheng is too polite, this monk merely did what he ought to do!”

Gu Changsheng smiled at this, ”Even so, I must thank you, if it weren’t for your intervention, I might still be trapped in my own obsessions, unable to free myself! Thank you for your help, and thank you for saving Tan Nv from defying the heavens!”

The sound of the wooden fish paused, and Little Monk Bu Jie suddenly looked up towards the Observation Deck, his compassionate face momentarily furrowed with concern.

”If Benefactor Changsheng wishes to thank this monk, then please ask her to invite a carpenter to come and refurbish the Observation Deck!”

”Uh...” Gu Changsheng was taken aback at this, her lips twitching almost imperceptibly.

What the heck? What does that have to do with the Observation Deck?

”Having secluded myself for so long to study, I indeed cannot carve out the original railings of the Observation Deck. Please retract your earlier words and invite a carpenter!” Little Monk Bu Jie, looking at the twisted railings on the Observation Deck, shook his head and sighed.

Outside, Gu Changsheng’s lips twitched violently, and she immediately pushed open the door without even looking at Little Monk Bu Jie, who sat in monk’s robes on a meditation cushion, her gaze fixed straight on the Observation Deck...

Then, Gu Changsheng was suddenly struck dumb!

Alright! She remembered that the Observation Deck of her Peach Blossom Cottage inexplicably vanished, and because Little Monk Bu Jie stubbornly acted like a clamshell that wouldn’t open up, not telling her the reason Huo Shuixian invoked the Phoenix, so it seems, she had asked Little Monk Bu Jie to restore the railings of the Observation Deck to their pristine state...

”Little Monk Bu Jie, is this the result of your long period of repair efforts?” Gu Changsheng asked with a twitching face.

Godfather! What is that wobbly, zigzagging railing without even a straight line supposed to be?

My goodness, can that even be considered a railing? Stacking wood straight up would look more like a railing than that!

Little Monk Bu Jie heard this, pressed his hands together, and bowed his head.

”So, your long seclusion wasn’t for meditation or because the Futu Demoness affair was detrimental, my goodness you were actually making railings, weren’t you?” Gu Changsheng said with a face full of shock and disbelief.

Wow! Other people close their doors to build carts and when they come out they’re off track, but her Little Monk Bu Jie closes the doors to make railings and doesn’t need to come out, too shameful to show his face!

”This monk is ashamed...” Little Monk Bu Jie’s head was almost touching the wooden fish.

”You! You! You!”

Gu Changsheng pointed at Little Monk Bu Jie, at a loss for words.

She used to always blame herself, thinking Little Monk Bu Jie was hurt by the Futu Demoness while saving her!

And what happened?

The truth is so cruel!

Damn it, why did she have to inflict such misfortune on herself by making Little Monk Bu Jie fix the railing?

With the railing looking like that, wouldn’t the carpenters laugh their heads off if they saw it?

Therefore, Gu Changsheng decisively flung her sleeves and headed for the observation deck!

”Boom!”

With a loud noise, the miserably looking railing was instantly blasted to oblivion!

Gu Changsheng clapped her hands satisfactorily, very pleased with the outcome she caused!

Nothing left but sawdust!

At least it wouldn’t be a laughing stock now!

”Little Monk Bu Jie, I’ve realized it now; you’re pretty skilled in other areas, but when it comes to being a carpenter, your talent really can’t match my Xiao Rou Bao!” Gu Changsheng turned around and said to Little Monk Bu Jie, who wore an embarrassed expression.

My goodness her Xiao Rou Bao took a long time making a swing, but at least the end result was somewhat passable!

Her son’s swing looked nicely carved and was hanging under the kapok tree in the back garden!

Unlike the railing Little Monk Bu Jie made, which was a disaster! Simply unbearable to look at!

Lucky she obliterated the traces!

”Later I’ll instruct Uncle Song to hire some carpenters; damn it, instead of chanting and hitting wooden fish, you just had to steal jobs from the carpenters! If you were any good at it, then I’d give you a thumbs up, but what was the result? Hmm!” Gu Changsheng scoffed disdainfully, ”Just stick to being your good little monk!”

Having said her piece, Gu Changsheng walked away with Si Xi.

”Amitabha!” Seeing Gu Changsheng departing, Little Monk Bu Jie finally felt relieved and chanted a Buddhist scripture, his face full of helpless kindness.

He indeed had overestimated himself; he really had no talent as a carpenter...

After the morning meal, Gu Changsheng thanked the doctors of Liuzhou City along with her son.

”I really appreciate everyone’s effort. My father is recuperating from overworking and couldn’t come to thank you in person, so Changsheng thanks all of you on his behalf. Because of Changsheng, your time has been much occupied; I truly feel guilty!” Gu Changsheng bowed deeply and sincerely thanked them.

”Yaoyao thanks you all for treating mother!” Xiao Rou Bao also held his fists, bowing in salute beside her.

Seeing them, mother and son, being so earnest, the doctors, led by Hu Yihai and Elder Xu, felt somewhat awkward.

”Lady Changsheng, that’s not necessary; we really haven’t been of much help! We don’t deserve such a gesture!” Hu Yihai stepped forward, his face sweaty, gesturing as if trying to lift her up.

”Yes! Little Yaoyao, you’re still so young; don’t follow those cumbersome formalities, we really can’t bear it!” Hu Tiandong said with a smile, reaching out to lift Xiao Rou Bao up.

Everyone laughed at their words.

Young Master of the Gu Residence, little Yaoyao, quick to learn, intelligent and courteous, and also so charming, truly endearing to all!

”In that case, Changsheng won’t keep you any longer, as I’m sure your families are eagerly waiting!” Gu Changsheng continued with a hinted smile, gesturing for them to leave, ”I’ve just woken up and still have some things to handle. In a little while, I will instruct someone to deliver the consultation fee to your residences, safe travels!”

” Lady Changsheng, you’re too polite; you make us unsure how to comport ourselves!”

”That’s right! You share half the grace of a master with us, how could we take your consultation fee! Ha ha!”

”Lady Changsheng, please don’t leave!”

”...”

Everyone left Longevity Medical Building through the wide-open front door, chatting and laughing with ease.

Gu Changsheng stood by the door, smiling as she saw them off. As everyone dispersed, Gu Changsheng went back inside the medical building and ordered the doors to be firmly closed, then leisurely sat in the main hall to drink tea.

Sending off guests through the front door is a matter of etiquette! Fortunately, it was still early in the day, and there weren’t many people on the streets.

”My lady, the crossbow machine is ready, the arrow strung!” Ning Er’s voice sounded from a dark corner.

”Good!” Gu Changsheng replied, her lips curling in a mocking curve.

Hopefully, she had underestimated Yhan Qinrui!

Otherwise....
