Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1152: Chapter 821: Aunt Xi Shi Is Not Afraid

In the blink of an eye, the little chubby baby was just two steps away from Yu Shu and Beauty Sai!

An adult’s step could cover two or three small steps of the little chubby baby...

Seeing the distance between the little chubby baby and Yu Shu, a hint of tension flashed in Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes. She took a small step forward.

Zhou Mu tightly held her hand, stabilizing her figure, and spoke in a deep voice, ”Don’t worry!”

Just now, every move of the mother and son was right under his eyes.

Zhou Mu—who was he, after all? Nothing could escape his eyes, which is why he allowed Gu Changsheng to let the little chubby baby replace Beauty Sai, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Zhou Mu’s voice was deep and enchanting, as if carrying an invisible magical power, instantly easing Gu Changsheng’s tense heart.

”I’m not worried! Not worried...” Gu Changsheng murmured to herself as if comforting herself. She was not worried; the little child ahead was her son, her extraordinarily clever son, the little chubby baby. He would definitely understand her intentions and surely be safe!

He definitely would!

She had to trust her son!

Trust the son she had personally nurtured!

Gu Changsheng slowly tightened her hold on Zhou Mu’s hand, her phoenix eyes fixed on the small figure that stopped not far from Yu Shu and Beauty Sai, not daring to blink.

The surroundings were silent, and everyone watched the little child with bated breath, not daring to make any movements.

The little chubby baby stopped two steps away from Yu Shu, slightly tilting his little head, with an expression of pure and naïve cuteness.

”Haha...” Seeing the little chubby baby so close, Yu Shu suddenly burst into wild laughter.

”So unpleasant...” Hearing her laughter, the little chubby baby pouted discontentedly, twitched his little nose, pulled out a small dagger from his waist, pointed it straight ahead, took two deep breaths, and with what seemed like great courage, spoke to Yu Shu, ”You! Let go of Aunt Xi Shi, and I’ll come over...”

”Haha...” With success in sight, Yu Shu laughed triumphantly, slightly maniacally.

The little chubby baby frowned at her, then turned towards Beauty Sai, who was shaking her head at him, and smiled slightly, his eyes curving, ”Aunt Xi Shi, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you! Don’t worry, I’m a little man! I’m going to be a great hero! Humph humph...”

”Little benefactor...” Beauty Sai was left speechless, her face pale as snow.

”Haha... A little person who can’t even hold a dagger steady, yet dares to bargain with me!” Yu Shu laughed wantonly, pulling Beauty Sai a step forward, the dagger pressed against Beauty Sai’s neck not leaving even slightly, ”Come here to me!”

”No! You first let go of Aunt Xi Shi!” The little chubby baby shouted in a low voice, seeing Yu Shu’s hand moving, feigned a retreat, and the small dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a ”bang.”

Yu Shu moved as fast as lightning, in the blink of an eye, grasping the little chubby baby in her hand, one hand holding the dagger against Beauty Sai’s neck, the other around the little chubby baby’s neck, quickly taking a step back, retreating to a safe distance.

”Wah wah! You bad woman! You’re a liar! You said that as long as I came over, you’d let go of Aunt Xi Shi! You’re a bad person! You lie, and you’ll get a long nose! Wah wah...” His neck gripped in her hand, the little chubby baby had to stand on tiptoe to avoid being lifted off the ground by Yu Shu, his face full of anger as he flailed his plump little paws, shouting furiously and fearfully, ”Let me go, let me go! You bad woman! Wah wah... You liar! You’re a fraud! Fraud...”

”Shut up!” Watching the little baby flailing at her feet, Yu Shu shouted in a low voice, still holding both of them, cautiously gazing at Gu Changsheng and the others opposite.

”My son is already in your hands, aren’t you supposed to fulfill your promise and release Beauty Sai?” Gu Changsheng looked at Beauty Sai, whose neck was held, stepped slightly forward, her face anxious but a hint of delight flashed in her eyes.

”Don’t come over! Once I leave the Guo Residence, I’ll release Beauty Sai! All of you! Everyone, don’t get close! Step back!” Yu Shu cautiously retreated slowly, holding the two.

Beauty Sai was staggered backward by her dragging, while the little chubby baby, pulled along, had his toes scraping two lines on the ground.

”Let me go! Let me go, you bad woman! Fraud...”

Even so, the little chubby baby continued to flail, his plump little hands repeatedly slapping Yu Shu’s arm that held him captive...

Then, as Yu Shu retreated, everyone followed stealthily, heart in mouth, but dared not approach too closely.

”Bad person! Bad person! Bad... heehee...”

Yu Shu’s form suddenly halted, and the little chubby baby, who had been shouting curses with great enjoyment, his big round eyes always watching her movements, noticed her pause and suddenly changed his tone, laughing mischievously with a ”hee hee hee.”

”You!”

Yu Shu looked down in disbelief, staring blankly at the little chubby baby, then the dagger in her hand fell to the ground with a clear sound, and her whole body, like a rigid wooden stake, fell backward.

With her falling backward, the little chubby baby fell forward with a thud, munching a mouthful of dirt...

With the dagger no longer at her neck, Beauty Sai quickly crawled over to the little chubby baby, extending her hands to hold him, anxiously speaking, ”Are you okay? Are you...”

”Don’t touch me!”

”Don’t touch him!”

A stern female voice and a nervous young voice rang out simultaneously.

Beauty Sai’s outstretched hand froze, her face turned even paler, and she looked at the little child in front of her with a puzzled expression.

”Don’t touch me, I’m covered in poison! It could kill you...” The little chubby cheek said as he raised a muddy paw, pointed at Yu Shu lying on the ground foaming at the mouth, snorted through his little nose, and spat out the mud from his mouth with a look of disgust, ”Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! Look at her, how miserable she is! Her face is so unresigned! Scared the baby to death! Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! Made me eat a mouthful of mud! I don’t want to eat mud, I want to eat meat...”

Yu Shu lay facing the sky, foaming at the mouth, her crimson eyes unresignedly staring at the sky, her body still convulsing uncontrollably, obviously in extreme pain, yet her limbs seemed to have turned into wood, rigid and motionless...

The crowd watched her miserable state with horror, their expressions filled with undisguised hatred and no sympathy...

This was the family member they know best, yet she had done such a thing today, how do you expect them to react?

They wished they could go up and hack her to pieces!

”Xi Shi! Xi Shi! Are you alright?”

”Daughter-in-law! Daughter-in-law!”

The Father and Son of the Guo Family finally snapped out of the sudden change, rushing towards the fallen Beauty Sai, their expressions full of anxiety.

”No! Don’t come over!”

Beauty Sai stepped back, protecting her big belly, and distanced herself from the little chubby cheek and Yu Shu lying on the ground.

As a mother, having escaped this life-threatening situation, all she could think about now was protecting the child in her belly and her family!

The little benefactor said he was covered in poison, so what about her?

The Father and Son of the Guo Family froze, looking anxiously and woodenly towards Gu Changsheng present there.

”Help Beauty Sai up, she’s fine, my son’s covered in the poison of the Wooden Poppy. This poison, once it enters the bloodstream, immediately spreads throughout the body, rendering the limbs powerless and rigid, with no attack strength... keep Beauty Sai away from the two of them,” Gu Changsheng said as he walked over to the little chubby cheek lying on the ground.

He reached out his hands and held him in his arms.

”Southern Emperor!”

”Southern Emperor!”

Seeing Gu Changsheng holding the little chubby cheek in his arms without hesitation, the Father and Son of the Guo Family were filled with concern.

”Rest assured, I crafted this poison myself. I’m not only skilled in the medical path but also highly adept at the most potent poisons. My body is already immune to all poisons, this little bit of poison won’t harm me in the slightest!” Gu Changsheng gave them a reassuring look, smiling brightly as he spoke.

Hearing this, the Father and Son of the Guo Family finally relaxed, hurried forward, helped Beauty Sai up, and kept a significant distance from Yu Shu and the mother and son, Gu Changsheng!

Poisons!

This poison looks extremely potent!

”Mother, wasn’t I awesome? I saved Aunt Xi Shi, didn’t I? Hehe... Hurry up and praise me, am I brave? Am I smart? Haha...” The little chubby cheek, in Gu Changsheng’s arms, said proudly, with every word accompanied by a playful gesture.

”Hehe...” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng chuckled softly, raising a hand to wipe the mud from his son’s mouth, speaking with a face full of pride, ”My son is brave! My son is smart! Worthy of being my son, Gu Changsheng! Born destined to be a peerless hero! But you should first wipe off the mud from your mouth, it really hurts your heroic image like that!”

”Hehe... Alright, alright!” The little chubby cheek giggled, lifting his little paws to wipe his mouth happily.

Little Han Mo with the Black Face and Wuchang Yue walked over, looking at Yu Shu, who still had a thread of breath on the ground, Wuchang Yue looked at the little chubby cheek with confusion and spoke naively, ”How did you do it? How did you poison her and not be harmed yourself?”

The little chubby cheek, hearing this, immediately puffed up his chest, proudly spoke, ”Because I’m awesome! Isn’t my backpack full of lifesaving meds? My mother smashed two bottles of lifesaving meds and was holding the small bracelet on my hand, then I understood. There was a poison inside the bracelet on my hand, and just now, while pretending to struggle, I scratched the bad woman’s arm with my nail, then the poisonous powder transferred to her wound!”

”I took the antidote, so even if there was an accident, I’d be fine! Haha... I’m so smart! Wahahaha...”

The crowd looked at this proud little kid, at a loss for words.

But it was Beauty Sai, supported by the Father and Son of the Guo Family, who spoke with a pale face and a faint smile, ”So when you were pretending to struggle just now, it was to avoid hitting me?”

Hearing this, the little chubby cheek turned back, blinked his round eyes with a mischievous look, ”Yeah, you had a bleeding wound on your neck, the poison can’t touch it! My mother told me that this poison is incurable unless the antidote is taken beforehand...”
