Chapter 127
"We're here, this is it."
Before dusk, they finally arrived at the edge of an abandoned village, one after the other.
The Ghost Doctor put Fan Xiaoxiao down, and as soon as she landed, she hugged a withered tree and started retching.
Having finally regained some energy today, I've become listless again.
"You little brat, how can you be so weak!"
Bai Hua, carrying Gu Zhongtai on her back, landed steadily on the ground. Looking at the village in front of him, his first reaction was to wrinkle his nose.
"This place stinks."
The Ghost Doctor slapped Bai Hua on the back of the head, glaring and yelling, "You stinky brat! What time is it? Stop being so fussy! Put this kid down and find a clean place to examine them!"
Fan Xiaoxiao straightened up with difficulty, took out the water bag that Fan had prepared for her, and managed to drink a mouthful of water. She felt a little better after that.
The ghost doctor on the other end was struggling to support Gu Chongtai, who managed to stand up steadily.
"Hey! Kid! Hold on tight! Hey! Kid! Come help me! He's too heavy!"
The Ghost Doctor could no longer support Gu Chongtai's body, and the two of them stood crookedly.
Fan Xiaoxiao quickly tightened the water pouch and came over: "Has Young Master Ye fainted?"
"yes!"
With Fan Xiaoxiao's help, the Ghost Doctor managed to avoid throwing Gu Chongtai to the ground. But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he caught a glimpse of Fan Xiaoxiao supporting Gu Chongtai, looking quite strained.
This is understandable, as although her fever has subsided, she has been malnourished for a long time, and the stress and exhaustion she has experienced recently have only exacerbated her already frail condition.
Some of the ghost doctors, feeling sorry for Gu Zhongtai, tried their best to support most of his body.
Fortunately, the place Bai Hua went to wasn't too far away. After tidying up, she quickly came over to help take over Gu Zhongtai, who had already fainted.
"Wow, this thing is really heavy."
The Ghost Doctor rubbed his shoulder and, grimacing, unbuttoned Gu Zhongtai's shirt.
Fan Xiaoxiao hadn't intended to look, but the Ghost Doctor's actions were so sudden that she didn't have time to react. Only after seeing Gu Chongtai's bare upper body did she belatedly realize that staring at a man's body like that wasn't appropriate.
However, when Fan Xiaoxiao saw the wounds on the person's body, she was stunned.
My goodness, the difference between Boss Ye's body and his face is like night and day.
What a body this is! Covered in wounds! The body is covered in crisscrossing scars, and the wound on the shoulder seems to have just healed, still tinged with pink, which is quite shocking to see.
"Little White Boy! Come here..."
"Clang!" Before the Ghost Doctor could finish speaking, a gleaming throwing knife grazed his face and pierced into a nearby pillar.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and almost instantly, Bai Hua rushed out of the house. Outside, the sounds of weapons clashing filled the air.
The Ghost Doctor didn't even look outside. He only saw Bai Hua leave, and frowned slightly, seemingly annoyed. "Tsk, of all times! Oh dear, kid, come here and help this old man support this boy. Looks like I won't be able to treat both of you today. You must be worried!"
Fan Xiaoxiao didn't dare to hesitate; in this moment of crisis, she couldn't care less about the difference between men and women. She quickly stepped forward and supported Gu Chongtai's naked upper body.
"He's got me!"
The Ghost Doctor shouted and hurriedly took out a pill from his basket, fed it to Gu Zhongtai, and continued to insert and remove needles without stopping.
Fan Xiaoxiao's eyes were dazzled by what she saw, while the chaotic noises outside grew louder and louder, until finally she heard Bai Hua let out a muffled groan.
She dared not look back, and could only grit her teeth. Without trembling, she supported Gu Zhongtai, trying her best not to interfere with the old ghost doctor's acupuncture.
Fortunately, the Ghost Doctor finally withdrew his hand after a short while. He helped Gu Chongtai cross his legs and then had Fan Xiaoxiao release his grip. Meanwhile, the fighting outside was still going on.
"Tsk, what's wrong with this kid! He could just poison us to death in one go! So annoying!"
The ghost doctor stood up irritably, looked around, and found a simply cleaned bathtub in the corner, filled with enough water for a bath.
"It's alright, at least the most important thing, that little white kid, did it."
The Ghost Doctor muttered in a low voice, and Fan Xiaoxiao thought he was talking to her, so she frowned in confusion.
"What did you say?"
"No, it's nothing." The Ghost Doctor shook his head, took out a packet of medicine powder from his pocket and threw it into the water. Then he placed his palm on the wooden tub and circulated his internal energy.
A moment later, Fan Xiaoxiao saw steam rising from the bucket of water. It had a slightly brownish tinge, perhaps due to the addition of medicinal powder.
He let out a sigh of relief and walked over.
"Put this kid in this bucket."
"good!"
Fan Xiaoxiao responded, and the two of them together placed Gu Zhongtai into the wooden tub.
"Hmm!" Bai Hua's voice rang out again from outside, this time sounding much more restrained than before.
Fan Xiaoxiao and the Ghost Doctor exchanged a glance, both feeling uneasy.
"I'll go out and check. You stay and watch over this kid! Remember, don't let him out until the water turns red!"
After saying that, the Ghost Doctor pushed open the door and walked out, and the battle outside came to a standstill for a moment.
Bai Hua seemed to be injured. After the Ghost Doctor walked out, he said to him with a mocking tone, "Tsk, look at these few people, why don't you just poison them all at once! Why are you dragging your feet like this!"
"cough……"
"Old man! Hand over that little girl you brought! Otherwise..."
Fan Xiaoxiao was startled: This group of people came for her! But why her?
"You're after that baby? Humph! I won't let you take that child away!"
The Ghost Doctor's words angered the other party, who snorted coldly and immediately rushed over.
But the ghost doctor outside did something—after shouting loudly, he immediately let out a painful scream.
Fan Xiaoxiao frowned, trying to hear more clearly, but Gu Zhongtai in the bathtub let out a painful groan.
Her attention was immediately drawn back, and she noticed that the color of the bathwater had indeed subtly changed. It had turned from its original brown to a distinct reddish-brown, and the water was bubbling continuously, as if it were boiling.
"Boss Ye! You absolutely must hold on!"
Fan Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Zhongtai with some worry, muttering to herself. She seemed oblivious to the sweat dripping down her cheeks.
However, as the medicine in the bucket turned increasingly red, Gu Zhongtai's expression became more and more painful, and finally, he showed faint signs of getting up again.
Startled, Fan Xiaoxiao quickly stood up and pressed him down, saying, "Boss Ye! Hang in there! It'll be over soon!"
Unfortunately, Fan Xiaoxiao's grip was too weak, and seeing that she was about to lose control of the other person, she gritted her teeth and had no choice but to use both her hands and feet to hold him down.
"Boss, tsk! You better behave yourself!"
Fortunately, Gu Zhongtai didn't struggle for long and finally calmed down before Fan Xiaoxiao was exhausted.
Fan Xiaoxiao weakly released Gu Zhongtai, her clothes soaked from his struggles. Now, relieved, she leaned against the wooden tub, panting heavily: "Wow, this guy doesn't look that strong usually! He's so energetic, I'm exhausted!"
"It's you, Taixu..."
