Chapter 1737 Wake Up
He couldn't figure out this problem, let alone Bai Shan and the other kids, so everyone sat there with him in silence.
Manbao shook his legs, and when it was almost dark, he jumped off the railing and said, "I'll go give Xu Yu another acupuncture treatment, and then I'll go see her when I wake up tomorrow morning."
When County Magistrate Tang saw her running away, he turned back and said to Bai Shan, "Take her out for a walk more often these two days, whether you have time or not. Maybe she will feel better."
Bai Erlang couldn't help but ask: "This is the imperial palace, where can we go?"
County Magistrate Tang smiled and said, "There's no place to go. A walk in the garden is better than staying in the study. When one's thoughts wander, one has to move."
Bai Shan seemed to be lost in thought.
Many people couldn't sleep well that night, including Manbao. Even though she had paid points to let Keke keep an eye on Xu Yu, she would alert anyone if they attacked her. This way, she could not only catch the person, but might even be able to rescue him in time.
Unfortunately, nothing happened that night. The gates of the courtyards were not unlocked until the next day. Eunuch Wu and Lord Tang paid attention to it, but no one came to inform them of the incident until dawn.
At this time, the palace maids and eunuchs in each courtyard had already packed themselves up and started to take over from those on duty. This was one of the three busiest periods of the day.
Manbao also learned the result from Keke. Xu Yu did not wake up last night and did not have a fever. There was nothing unusual around her house.
While washing his face, Manbao complained to Keke in his mind, "It's the most unfair thing to spend points on Xu Yu. Although it's not as much as the Crown Prince, it's not worth it at all."
Koko thought the same thing, but he couldn't agree with her right now. So he took the opportunity to translate the data he received yesterday and relayed it to her, "Encourage the host to recover all the meteorites left behind in this world as soon as possible."
Manbao wiped his face and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I do want to do it, but I'm still an official now. Do you know what it means to be in officialdom and have no choice? That's what I'm like."
Koko felt that there was nothing wrong with the host being silent yesterday.
Manbao continued to ramble, "Besides, this meteorite isn't my mission to collect. It doesn't matter if I collect it later. When those people from the Western Regions go back, they'll definitely spread the word that the rocks are poisonous. They'll definitely stay away from them..."
Koko took a screenshot of what she said and reported it directly to the main system and the encyclopedia.
The main system didn't feel anything wrong and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but the Encyclopedia Library was almost depressed when it received the video report forwarded by the main system.
"When they were originally designed, restrictions were built into the subsystem to prevent malicious competition. The points awarded by the encyclopedia can only be used for content included in the subsystem itself. Now, even if we want to tempt her with points, we can't."
"We've researched this world's host, and we found she's not very dependent on our world. Offering her technology superior to theirs as a reward wouldn't be enough to tempt her," the researcher said. "According to our statistics, the most common items she purchases through the system mall are candy and flowers."
Not only are both of these too cheap, but there are also substitutes in their world. They are not children, so who would really travel far to collect research materials for them just for a piece of candy and a flower?
"Besides, the living environment in that world is very harsh. It would be difficult for her to travel such a long distance to collect materials for us in such a short time."
"Instead of discussing this now, we should think about what we can use to entice her to collect it for us. We've found so many excuses, but there's only one: the benefits aren't enough!"
One person said, "As long as the benefits are sufficient, humans can do things even at the risk of being beheaded."
"How did 0531 guide her? Wasn't she still very young when they bound her? Why wasn't her dependence high enough?"
The main system, which had been silent until then, uttered an emotionless voice on the screen, "0531 is solely responsible for guiding the host to complete the collection mission. It has no other responsibilities."
Although they still felt a little regretful and dissatisfied, they also knew that 0531 did not violate the procedures.
But this happened in the afternoon, and Koko and Manbao, who had just sent the screenshot, knew nothing about it. They all wiped their faces innocently and happily, then went to see Xu Yu with the medicine box.
Manbao reached out and touched her forehead. Seeing that her fever had subsided, he untied the gauze on her finger and took a look at it while he didn't want to eat breakfast yet.
The two palace maids who were assigned to take care of Xu Yu stood by and watched. They were shocked to see the flesh rolling in the untied gauze.
The two looked at each other, their faces turning pale.
Manbao looked up when she heard the noise and saw that they seemed even younger than her. She smiled and said, "You guys go downstairs and eat first. I'll reapply the medicine to her and come back later."
A palace maid with a pale face asked, "Master Zhou, is there anything you need us to do?"
Manbao smiled and said, "Go boil a pot of water."
The two young palace maids went downstairs together to boil water.
Manbao untied the cloth wrapped around her finger, looked at the wound carefully, and then took out a bottle of medicine powder from the medicine box.
There was water boiling in the small kitchen. They added a few more flames and it started to boil. The two of them brought in a kettle.
Manbao asked them to find a bowl, poured some medicine powder into the bowl and poured boiling water into it. The water slowly turned deep red and then became a little black.
She dipped some medicine on clean gauze and started to wipe her wound.
As if in pain, Xu Yu moved and slowly opened his eyes.
When the two palace maids saw her wake up, they immediately turned around and ran out to inform Eunuch Wu and Lord Tang, "Eunuch Wu, Lord Tang, Xu Yu is awake."
Lord Tang looked at Eunuch Wu.
Eunuch Wu smiled and said, "Master Tang, please go and interrogate first. We won't go for now. Otherwise, if there are too many people, it will be difficult for them to take action."
Lord Tang smiled and nodded, then stood up and walked over.
Manbao met her eyes, and they stared at each other silently for a while. Then he lowered his eyes and continued to wipe her wound, saying, "It will be easier to apply medicine after wiping it. If it hurts, tell me and I'll be gentler."
Xu Yu didn't say anything, but shook his head slightly.
When Lord Tang entered the room, the screen was still there, so he coughed lightly outside the screen.
Manbao turned his head and took a look before saying, "Come in."
Lord Tang walked around the screen and came in. Seeing Xu Yu awake, he smiled slightly and said, "Shall we talk?"
Xu Yu retracted her fingers, but her face showed no expression. However, Manbao noticed her change of mood and couldn't help but secretly look up at County Magistrate Tang and winked at him.
County Magistrate Tang smiled slightly, knowing that Xu Yu was not completely unresponsive, and he felt more confident.
To facilitate the conversation, he looked around and saw that she was just bandaging her finger, so he simply put away the screen, then dragged a chair from the table and sat down opposite her bed. He looked at her and asked, "Xu Yu, don't you have anything to say now?"
