Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1151: Chapter 820: Go, Yaoyao—Mother Believes in You!

As Yu Shu rambled, Gu Changsheng’s brow furrowed tighter and tighter.

Out of nowhere, a shiver ran through his heart.

People like Gu Changsheng always possessed a strong sense of danger. He didn’t know why, but hearing Yu Shu’s words made his heart suddenly panic, as a bad premonition rose within him.

But the current situation was already bad enough; if anything else were to happen, they’d just have to tackle it head-on!

Gu Changsheng was a lazy person who never liked worrying unnecessarily, so in such situations, he couldn’t afford to think too much.

In contrast, Zhou Mu seemed as if he had been pulled out of an ice cellar, his cold presence palpable, which made those around him retreat a step, their expressions filled with fear.

Soon, the boy who had been sent to call people from the Guest Garden brought Xiao Roubao and three other little children to the martial arts training ground where the standoff was happening.

Although mischievous at times, Xiao Roubao was still an obedient little child, especially when it came to his mother’s words, which he always followed to the letter. Knowing that something had happened to the Guo Family, Xiao Roubao had dressed himself and went to find Little Monk Bu Jie and the others.

Suddenly brought to the front courtyard by the boys, Xiao Roubao was bewildered. Seeing Beauty Sai being held hostage with a sharp dagger, his chubby little face tensed immediately. Fluttering his short little legs, he ran in between his mother and Uncle Wood, tugging at them with each hand, blinking his big round eyes with confusion, uttering, ”Mother... Uncle Wood...”

”Yaoyao...” Glancing down at his own little Roubao, Gu Changsheng felt a pang of heartache. He took a deep breath and turned to Yu Shu, ”My son is here, Yu Shu, let go of Beauty Sai!”

”Haha... send him over!” Upon seeing the little Roubao, who barely reached the waist of a person, Yu Shu’s face betrayed a determined eagerness. Was it for this little child? For obtaining this little child, her Brother Ao had died! Because of him!

She would accomplish what Brother Ao hadn’t! She would avenge Brother Ao; she would make Gu Changsheng suffer a fate worse than death!

Without her son, wouldn’t that woman be heartbroken?

Yes, she would, absolutely. Didn’t Miss say, family was that woman’s Achilles’ heel? Grasping this point was like stepping on her sore spot, holding that wretched Gu Changsheng tightly in her hands!

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes turned cold as he stretched out a hand, gently grasping the tiny hand of his son that tugged at his clothes, speaking softly, ”Yaoyao, come with Mother...”

”Yes, Mother!”

Xiao Roubao nodded, tightly holding his mother’s hand in return, lifting his little leg to keep in step with her.

As he watched the not far off Yu Shu and Beauty Sai, Gu Changsheng took a deliberate step forward, but was soon met with simultaneous muffled shouts from ahead.

”Southern Emperor, no! Don’t mind me! Don’t bring over the little benefactor!” Beauty Sai, drenched in cold sweat, cried out hoarsely as she looked at the small child.

”Stop! Gu Changsheng, you are not allowed to come over! Have your son come over by himself! I only want him! Only him!” Yu Shu yelled thunderously, holding a dagger with one hand and gripping Sai’s hair with the other to prevent her from colliding with the dagger again, her eyes blazing with wrath.

She feared Gu Changsheng!

However, unlike Gu Changsheng, this little child before her was nothing more than a suckling babe, and also her target!

Hearing this, the foot Gu Changsheng had stepped out with instantly hung in midair; his body stiffened, seeing the situation of the two before him, his brows knitted tightly, having no choice but to slowly retract the foot he had stepped out with.

”Mother?”

Xiao Roubao blinked his big round eyes in bewilderment at his mother, who had stopped, his small brow furrowing slightly.

”Yaoyao...” called Gu Changsheng, squatting down slowly in front of Xiao Roubao, meeting his gaze at eye level, he reached out to pat his small shoulder, speaking in a low voice, ”Yaoyao, do you remember the auntie with the big belly?”

Saying this, Gu Changsheng pointed towards the hostage, Beauty Sai.

Xiao Roubao looked in the direction his mother pointed, tilting his small head, squinting in thought, ”I seem to remember her a bit, but can’t quite recall! Mother, I’ve been eating too much lately, it’s easy to forget things...”

”Hehe...” Gu Changsheng chuckled softly, patting his small shoulder and gently speaking, ”She’s Beauty Sai, back then, halfway to Liuzhou City, we saved your Uncle Wood and stayed in an inn, she was the person who took care of us there.”

”Yeah, yeah!” Xiao Roubao seemed to remember and nodded vigorously, all pleased, ”It’s her, it’s her! Mother, that’s her! I recognize her! But she used to be so beautiful, and now, why is she so fat?”

”She is pregnant! She has two little babies in her belly, but now she’s been taken hostage, Yaoyao, did you see the woman who took her?” Gu Changsheng said, as her hand slid gently from Xiao Roubao’s shoulder to his small back...

On Xiao Roubao’s back, he had a small backpack sewn by Gu Changsheng’s own hand, the stitching was laughably ugly, but Xiao Roubao carried it everywhere with him because it was filled with various life-saving medications...

Patting Xiao Roubao gently on the back, Gu Changsheng felt the touch beneath his hand, silently shattering two small medicine bottles using his inner strength, ”Yaoyao, that bad woman wants you to exchange for Beauty Sai, she thinks you’re small and not at all dangerous, no threat to her, Mother agrees, Mother’s Yaoyao is a brave little man, are you afraid?”

As Gu Changsheng said this, her hand moved down from his back, lingering on Xiao Roubao’s wrist, where there was a small bracelet, a trinket Xiao Roubao had taken from the treasure house of Yue Xilou, hollow inside, holding deadly poison...

Xiao Roubao stared wide-eyed at his mother, then silently glanced at his mother’s hand on his wrist, the hand that had already unlocked the small clasp of the bracelet...

”Mother, I’m not afraid! I promised you that I would be a peerless hero, protect you and Uncle Wood, and protect the two grandpas, protect everyone! I will go save Aunt Xi Shi, Mother, don’t worry...”

The little meat bun spoke, a bright smile spread on his chubby little face, his eyebrows and eyes slightly curved.

Gu Changsheng clearly saw a trace of cunning in his son’s smiling eyes, his lips slightly curling up, but he quickly restrained it.

”Southern Emperor! No! Little Benefactor he...”

”Southern Emperor...”

The father and son of the Guo Family were very anxious and wanted to speak but were interrupted by Gu Changsheng waving his hand.

Beauty Sai was already tear-stained, tears and sweat intertwined, covering her pale cheeks...

”Yaoyao, go! Mother believes in you! You won’t be afraid! You’re a little man!” solemnly patting her son’s small shoulder, Gu Changsheng resolutely stood up and said loudly.

”Yes, Mother!”

The little meat bun responded earnestly, taking a determined step forward, walking towards Yu Shu and Beauty Sai with a look full of fighting spirit.

”Young Master!” Little Han Mo with the Black Face took a worried step forward.

”Kid!” Although Wuchang Yue usually didn’t see eye to eye with the little meat bun, he also nervously stepped forward.

A small hand reached out from behind them, pulling on their garments on both sides, stopping them from advancing.

”Little Monk, what are you doing? That woman looks like an expert, she’s in chaos but can still stand either to attack or defend! If the kid goes over... How can Witch Lord let that kid go over, he’s Witch Lord’s son!” held back by Little Monk Bu Jie, Wuchang Yue anxiously turned around and growled.

Although Gu Yaoyao’s little mouth was usually annoyingly mischievous, he was still just a child!

Little Han Mo with the Black Face also turned around, furrowing his brows, his face coldly looking at Little Monk Bu Jie behind him.

Little Monk Bu Jie held one in each hand, his little face as gentle and kind as ever, his meaty little lips slightly parted, chanting a Buddhist hymn, ”Amitabha, you two little Benefactors must not panic, quietly observe the changes now, Amitabha Amitabha, oh the sins, the sins...”

”Sins? Who are you calling a sinner?” Wuchang Yue stomped his foot but still stopped his steps forward.

Little Monk Bu Jie remained silent, his big eyes seeming to understand the world’s matters, gazing at the stalemate in front.

In the empty space between the two opposing sides, a small figure walked step by step towards the woman holding a dagger, her face ferocious, occasionally humming with his little nose, shrugging the small package on his back...

A faint scent of medicine spread from his back, the little meat bun continuously sniffing, trying hard to breathe in.

To others, it might appear as if he was nervous and uneasy, constantly breathing heavily.

”Little Benefactor!”

”Little Benefactor! Southern Emperor, call back the Little Benefactor! Call him back!”

”...”

Father and son of the Guo Family and others pleaded aloud.

Gu Changsheng remained unmoved, interlocking fingers with Zhou Mu, both wide-eyed, staring unblinkingly at the child gradually approaching Yu Shu and Beauty Sai.

”Don’t come over! Don’t come over! Go back! Go back...”

Her hair was pulled from behind, Beauty Sai struggled to shake her head, her face anxious, moving again, she dashed towards the dagger.

Just a few steps away, if she died now, Southern Emperor and Zhou Mu would surely be able to rescue the Little Benefactor! They certainly would!

Yu Shu seemed to have anticipated her actions, forcefully yanking Beauty Sai’s hair, preventing her suicidal move towards the dagger.

”Don’t come over! Don’t come over! Quickly go back! Go back to your mother’s side! Go back...” Unable to seek death, Beauty Sai looked at the slowly approaching child, pleadingly spoke.

”Shut up!” Yu Shu looked at the little child near at hand, her scarlet eyes flashing, impatiently growled.

Closer!

Closer!

Only three steps away!

Brother Ao lost his life because of this child, today, she will complete the task he failed to accomplish!
