Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

My guess was indeed correct!

Even through the dense vines, Gu Changsheng could vaguely see the clusters of Man-eating Flowers in the distance!

The intoxicating aroma made one’s mind unstable, truly a deadly existence!

”This is really twisted like Timo, anyone not knowing would think they’ve entered the Angel’s Backyard!” Glancing at the blooming flowers, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

Damn it!

No wonder they said Valley of Forgetfulness is a natural barrier at Yanmen Pass; with these flowers here, anyone venturing in would likely turn into a heap of bones—it’s a one-way journey!

A truly desperate place!

This really is a desperate place, with no falseness whatsoever!

”Evildoer, I’m starting to worry about what ghosts might be waiting at the bottom of Intestine-Breaking Cliff!”

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but start worrying for himself and his family’s evildoer!

This place truly doesn’t fight fair!

Things just aren’t where they should be; this Valley of Forgetfulness is too eerie!

”Don’t worry, I’ll stay with you!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu tightened his grip on Gu Changsheng’s hand.

Fingers interlocked, the two moved swiftly, clearing the obstructing branches and vines, and quickly trekked onwards!

Holding the map copied from Borjigin Nian’s back, although landmarks in the Valley of Forgetfulness weren’t very clear, Gu Changsheng could calculate their position at Intestine-Breaking Cliff based on their pace!

Due to avoiding the Man-eating Flowers, they detoured a bit, but without any interference from Hidden World Clan members, their speed only increased, and swiftly they neared their destination!

On this precipice, don’t expect any trees or forests; no vegetation means no wildlife!

Thus, Gu Changsheng was well-prepared, catching a wild rabbit along the way!

Guessing the rabbit had lost its way, it was about to enter the Man-eating Flowers’ territory; it was doomed either way, so might as well make it a feast for them and their evildoer!

According to Gu Changsheng’s plan, it was already late afternoon. Gu Changsheng hadn’t intended to descend to the Bottom of the Cliff now, as dusk would soon fall and the dim forest light would turn pitch black at the Bottom of the Cliff. Thus, inherently, if all went well, she’d camp with her evildoer near the cliff for the night, resting and recuperating, descending at dawn to find the Key.

While plotting in her mind, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu swiftly navigated towards Intestine-Breaking Cliff!

What relieved Gu Changsheng was that Valley of Forgetfulness finally seemed somewhat normal, no longer as bizarre. Approaching Intestine-Breaking Cliff’s precipice, trees understandably became sparse, replaced by solid cliffs!

With a pack on her back and a rabbit in hand, Gu Changsheng stood at the cliff’s edge, bent over to peer into the depths!

Just one glance!

Gu Changsheng quickly jumped back a step!

Geez, that’s terrifying!

A pitch-black void with gusty winds, nothing was visible!

Despite not being acrophobic, Gu Changsheng still felt scared out of her wits!

”So high!” Sighing, Gu Changsheng picked up a small rock, tossing it into the abyss...

Then...

Then, apart from the whipping winds...

Nothing more...

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu didn’t even hear an echo!

Exchanging glances, Gu Changsheng’s radiant face couldn’t help but break into a bitter smile, shrugging with the rabbit, ”Well! Truly at the bottomless depth. Even skipping stones makes a sound; here, not even a peep! No idea if our rope will be long enough!”

Gu Changsheng was just mentioning in passing, while Zhou Mu, with a face akin to Divine Residence, pondered before responding in a deep voice, ”Reaching the bottom clearly requires more length; however, joining us together should be sufficient!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng promptly raised an eyebrow.

This means they would be tethered together like grasshoppers on the same rope!

Alright then!

She liked it!

The clothes flapped in the wind from the cliff’s depths. Gu Changsheng shrugged, ”We’re at the place, just one step short, let’s have a full meal then a good night sleep, worries are for tomorrow!”

”Alright!” Zhou Mu smiled indulgently at his woman, snatching the rabbit from Gu Changsheng and pointing to a large rock beside the cliff, kindly suggesting, ”Go hide behind that rock, don’t let the wind blow on you, I’ll prep the rabbit, and we’ll roast it together!”

Upon hearing, Gu Changsheng glanced at the rock, eyebrow raised at her evildoer, playfully queried, ”Are you sure you can handle it?”

Truthfully, Gu Changsheng had genuine doubts about her evildoer’s culinary skills!

She vividly remembered how the kitchen of civil and military officials at the Capital City had suffered his havoc, and as for his cooking...

Gu Changsheng still recalled it vividly!

He could make her prefer starving than eating; her evildoer might as well be unmatched in this world!

At these words, Zhou Mu turned around, and with a hint of embarrassment across his divine-like face, awkwardly assured, ”Rest easy, I’ve been in the army for years, dealing with this is a cinch; I’ll handle it, you cook!”

”Alright!” Gu Changsheng eagerly nodded.

Damn, this is the best result!

On the edge of the Man-eating Flower territory, she picked up a rabbit; has she had it easy?

Tonight, whether or not they can avoid eating dry rations depends entirely on this rabbit!

If it gets ruined by that evildoer of hers, she really has nowhere to cry!

Thus, Gu Changsheng immediately turned around, walked to the big stone, and half of her body leaned on it, watching her evildoer’s hands skillfully and expertly process the rabbit: skinning, gutting, all in one go, without a hint of drowsiness!

However, very soon, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but call out, ”Hey! Evildoer! Save some! If there’s no usable water source at the Bottom of Intestine-Breaking Cliff, we’ll die of thirst down there!”

Seeing her evildoer almost use up an entire water bag just to clean the rabbit, Gu Changsheng really couldn’t sit still!

Oh my god, potable water in this kind of harsh environment is truly more precious than gold!

The thought of her evildoer using gold to wash a rabbit makes Gu Changsheng quite distressed!

Zhou Mu heard Gu Changsheng’s words, smiled gently, finally stopped wasting gold, and carried the cleaned rabbit towards the big stone.

The two hid between the stones, one using a Longsword to skewer the rabbit, the other responsible for starting a fire...

It must be said, Gu Changsheng, being a seasoned foodie, was very well prepared. For example, when she picked up the rabbit, she also picked up two handfuls of firewood...

Otherwise, around the Intestine-Breaking Cliff, it’s all bare stone, Gu Changsheng would really be vexed about how to start a fire!

Should she burn stones?

That’s obviously unrealistic!

After all, they had serious matters to attend to on this journey, so they didn’t bring pots and pans, and naturally no materials like rice, oil, or salt. However, Gu Changsheng was quite adaptable; at the very least, they still had two chunks of spiced beef jerky among their rations!

Take out a piece, wrap it inside the rabbit’s belly for roasting, it barely counts as a touch of salty flavor!

At least it’s fresh, much better than cold spiced beef jerky with dry rations!

Soon, from behind the big stone at the edge of Intestine-Breaking Cliff, delicious aromas wafted out!

At the Bottom of the Cliff, the whistling cold wind swirled upwards, carrying the fragrance far out!

”Evildoer, are you stupid? You’re roasting the rabbit without rolling it? That side’s about to burn!”

Along with the aroma, Gu Changsheng’s nagging voice drifted out.

”This side, this side, can you move it further from the fire? It’s all about to burn!”

”Godfather! You’ve won! Don’t make it so far! It’s all smoked and blackened! This isn’t roasting, it’s smoking!”

”Evildoer, I really wonder, back when you used to march on campaigns, how did you eat? How are you not poisoned by your own cooking?”

”Indeed, some people are just destined to have everything done for them...”

”...”

The endless stream of words, no doubt, came from Gu Changsheng’s mouth.

The two of them, surrounded by the campfire, were flipping over the lost rabbit!

Smelling the increasingly rich aroma of meat, Gu Changsheng took a deep breath, feeling utterly content!

The moment the rabbit was fully roasted, Gu Changsheng didn’t even wait for the roasted rabbit meat to cool completely before starting on it!

The bigger half for her evildoer, the smaller half reserved for herself to devour. Gu Changsheng suddenly felt that this quest to find the Key was truly a blessing for the two of them!

The first part of the trip is paved for them; they still have time to enjoy a barbecue!

Gu Changsheng considered herself someone who is content with little joys, so she felt entirely satisfied at once!

The two hid behind the big stone, eating while exchanging glances, the atmosphere exceptionally harmonious and beautiful!

However, Heavenly Father typically can’t stand seeing people happy!

For instance, there are some people particularly keen on being that big killjoy stick!

The harmonious barbecue scene was quickly interrupted by cries for help from afar!

”Help! Help!”

”Help!”

”Ah!”

”Help!”

”...”

The moment she heard the sound, Gu Changsheng still held a piece of rabbit meat in her mouth, and poked out half her body from behind the big stone!

Looking at the group running out from the edge of the dense forest and hearing their cries for help, Gu Changsheng immediately wanted to swear!

Damn it, they’re alone here, just the two of them, who are they calling for help?

Who the hell are they expecting to save them?

On the whole, Gu Changsheng felt she could absolutely stand by and not help!

But, looking at each of their terrified faces, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but be curious...
