Chapter 176 No, the previous sentence
Bu Ruo and his group set off again after a day's rest, but because Bu Ruo was pregnant, they no longer hurried on their journey. Instead, they walked slowly as if they were going out for a picnic, not at all as if they were in a hurry to return and seize the throne.
While eating, Jin Congcong came over mysteriously.
"Ruo'er, Ruo'er, a few days have passed. Why do I feel like I have endless energy since I ate that fruit?"
"Yes, that's normal. Cen Nan and Cen Bei said that they have also changed in the past few days. After a while, they will be able to practice simple exercises."
Jin Congcong's face was full of excitement: "They are practicing martial arts, what about me? What can I do? Can I also practice something?"
Bu Ruo glanced at him and said, "You? Haha, just keep sweeping the floor and wiping the carriage. You've wiped the carriage really well, it's shiny. You're worthy of being called a sweeping fairy."
Jin Congcong: ...
"Didn't we agree not to mention the Sweeping Fairy again? Why are you bringing it up again? Am I shameless?"
Therefore, whenever they took a break on the road, the secret guards who came to pick them up from the palace and were hiding in the dark would see someone who was cleaning the carriage staring at the people who were meditating with a resentful look on his face, and his back teeth were chattering.
Finally, one day after dinner, Bu Ruo handed Xiao Yulan a fruit and then called Jin Congcong over.
"Half of the garbage in your spiritual consciousness has been cleared away."
"And then? Then I don't have to sweep the floor or mop the carriage anymore?"
"Well... the floor still needs to be swept, and the carriage still needs to be cleaned."
"You bad guy."
"But you can start trying to practice other things now."
"I take back what I said just now. Ruo'er, you are the best person in the world. You are beautiful and kind-hearted."
Everyone: ...
"What can I practice? Can I meditate like them? I don't know what the point of sitting there with my eyes closed is, but it looks pretty intimidating."
"If I get into a fight with someone later, hey? I'll just sit there and then..."
"And then you died."
Jin Congcong: ...
"Cen Nan, what are you laughing at? And all of you, don't laugh. Ruo'er and I are talking about something. This is related to whether I will be hated for the rest of my life. It's very important."
Cen Nan covered his mouth: "Don't laugh, we won't laugh, you continue, continue."
"Ruo'er, you're laughing at me too!"
Bu Ruo's chest was heaving from trying to hold back his laughter: "Well, I won't laugh. Let's get on with the serious business."
"You can indeed practice some extreme things, such as... using spiritual power to control a broom to sweep the floor and clean the carriage."
Jin Congcong's face fell: "Isn't that still the Sweeping Fairy?"
"No, no, no." Bu Ruo waved her hand, "You are not an immortal yet. At most, you can only be considered a sweeper."
"Sweeping the floor...still? It's not as good as the Sweeping Fairy."
So after dinner that day, someone was chased by a broom and jumped up and down, his face was swollen.
The next morning, Doctor Du caught up with the group.
"Ruo'er, my useless disciple said you are pregnant, right? Hurry up and stretch out your hand for me to see."
In the carriage, Bu Ruo obediently stretched out her hand: "Grandpa Du, you must be tired after this journey. You can stay with Jin Congcong for now. When we reach the next town at noon, I will ask Cen Nan to buy you a carriage."
Doctor Du stroked his beard with relief: "Ruo'er is the best. She knows that I don't want to sit with that evil disciple."
"So, did that evil disciple cause you and the prince any trouble along the way? Where is he? Why is he so quiet? He knew I was coming but didn't even come to see me. He has no respect for the elderly at all."
Before Bu Ruo could say anything, he heard howling and cursing coming from the carriage behind him again.
"Ruo'er! Are you sure I can control the broom with my current abilities? Are you mistaken?"
When Doctor Du saw the head sticking into the carriage, he couldn't help laughing.
"Pfft... Did you cause trouble for Ruo'er and get beaten up?"
"You deserve it! Seeing you like this makes me feel so relieved."
"Old man? Why are you here?" Jin Congcong covered his face which was covered with bruises, wishing he could dig a hole in the ground and hide there.
He knew very well what kind of person his master was. If he knew that he was beaten like this by a broom, he would laugh for several years and might even write a letter back to the mountain to tell his unscrupulous parents.
"Yes, I was beaten by Ruo'er..."
"Hey? What are you doing, old man? Why are you taking Ruo'er's pulse right away? Don't you trust me?"
"I'm telling you, I've consulted a doctor, and even he's absolutely certain that Ruo'er is pregnant."
Doctor Du paused while taking Jin Congcong's pulse and looked up at him in disbelief: "What did you just say? Tell me again?"
Jin Congcong didn't react and covered her face as she repeated, "I said Ruo'er must be pregnant. I've already consulted a doctor, and he said the same thing."
Doctor Du's beard stood on end with rage. "Jin Congcong! I'm a miracle doctor! I'm a miracle doctor whose fame resonates throughout the Three Kingdoms! You're my last disciple, yet you're actually going out to find a doctor to take Ruo'er's pulse? Have you learned anything from me in the last ten years?"
"I know you can't make medicine or prescribe medicine, but why do you still need to go out and find a doctor for something as basic as taking a pulse? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
"Just wait, after I finish showing Ruo'er, I will beat you to death with my own hands to prevent you from ruining my good reputation."
Jin Congcong opened his mouth and said, "What are you doing? I figured it out, but I'm not sure. What if I got it wrong? I have to find a doctor to take a look."
Doctor Du was speechless. "What a sin! What a sin! After more than ten years of following the divine doctor, even a stone should have mastered the art of medicine. It's understandable that you can't diagnose twins. After all, the pregnancy is still young. But you can't even confirm a pregnancy pulse. This old man really is..."
"I regret it, I regret it. I shouldn't have coveted your father's pot of wine and let him take it away. I accepted you as my last disciple."
"I'm afraid this door of mine...will never be closed in this lifetime."
"No, old man, wait a minute, wait a minute, what did you just say?" Jin Congcong looked at his master with his eyes almost popping out.
"I'm afraid my door will never be closed again in this lifetime."
"No, the previous sentence."
"The previous sentence? I regret it..."
"No, no, one more sentence."
"I say! If you can't conceive twins, forget it..."
"Stop!!!" Jin Congcong made a silencing gesture, looking shocked. "You mean... twins?"
Doctor Du nodded: "Yes, twins."
"Ruo'er, are you pregnant with twins?"
"yes."
"Old man, are you sure..."
Doctor Du angrily slapped someone on the head and said, "I'm sure!"
