Chapter 496 Hot Spring Bath
When Xingxing came over, Daxi Sipo said with some disdain, asking why she came to disturb her peace.
But Daxi Sipo was very honest and quickly prepared all the necessary supplies for Xingxing.
Xingxing didn't come alone this time, she brought Huya with her.
Hu Ya is the female leader of Yu Yongbai's caravan. She was able to become the leader of a caravan as a woman by relying on her punches and kicks, and she has countless old scars on her body.
This time, Hu Ya was on her way back to Beijing with a caravan when she rescued a scholar who was coming to Beijing to take an imperial examination. The two fell in love along the way.
The scholar knelt down and begged Huya to marry him, saying that he was willing to marry Huya in a formal ceremony.
Hu Ya refused at first, but later she was moved and fell in love.
Hu Ya went to find Yu Yongbai and took out the thirty thousand taels of silver she had saved in Yu Yongbai's caravan over the years, preparing to buy a property in Beijing and get married as soon as the scholar passed the imperial examination.
Another thing is that every woman wants to be beautiful, wear a bridal tiara, and marry her lover. Huya had scars all over her back, and she was a little nervous and wanted to make them lighter.
So this time, Huya followed Xingxing to find Daxi Sipo, hoping that Daxi Sipo would help.
While helping Huya mix the potion, Da Xi Si Po sneered: "Those scars are all from your past. If my granddaughter had such a hard life, I would only feel sorry for her, not hate her. But it's normal for you girls to want to marry beautifully."
Hu Ya was born pretty and lovely, but her personality was rather cold. Upon hearing this, she just lowered her head and smiled without saying anything.
The scars on Huya's back are all old scars. If you want to remove them, you have to use strong medicine to corrode all the scars first, and then apply medicine when new flesh and blood grows out. In this way, the new scars will be much lighter than the previous ones.
As soon as she heard it, she knew that this method would be very painful, but Huya didn't have any special reaction and agreed without blinking.
That night, when Xing Xing applied the medicine to Hu Ya for the first time, Hu Ya lay on the bed, clenched her teeth tightly, and didn't say a word. After applying the medicine, Xing Xing saw that Hu Ya's cold sweat directly soaked the bedding.
Despite this, Huya still gave Xingxing a sad smile, her voice so weak that she trembled: "Thank you, Miss."
Xing Xing felt so distressed that she almost cried when she saw this.
In fact, Xing Xing had already given Huya a pain-relieving soup. However, the pain of corroding flesh and blood was not suppressed by the pain-relieving soup.
Da Xi Si Po said, "It's not too late for you to regret now."
Hu Ya didn't say anything, but Da Xi Si Po knew what Hu Ya meant. She cursed her softly, "Stubborn girl," but was too lazy to persuade her any further. She just got up and went to the kitchen to make a bowl of soothing soup for Hu Ya to help her sleep.
The main point is that once you pass out, the pain will go away. It’s simple and crude.
This went on for three days, and Huya suffered pain that was unbearable for an ordinary person. The centipede-like scars on her back were completely corroded by the strong medicine, revealing the bloody wounds.
Next, it’s time to apply the medicine.
Before applying the medicine, Da Xi Si Po asked Xing Xing to take Hu Ya to the hot spring in the mountains to soak for an hour or so.
"Those hot springs contain medicinal ingredients that can save this stubborn girl from suffering." Da Xi Si Po yawned.
She had been poisoned before, and although it didn't have any serious effects on her body, she always felt a little sleepy during the period of recuperation, so she didn't go to the hot springs with Xingxing and the others.
Xingxing took Huya to the hot spring.
This hot spring with medicinal bath ingredients is naturally formed. When the hot spring flows underground through certain mining areas, it carries some natural ingredients that have a healing effect on wounds.
This hot spring flows to the ground and forms a small pool naturally.
Yu Yongbai's people have slightly renovated this hot spring. The surrounding pines and cypresses form a natural barrier, making the bath more comfortable while retaining its wild charm.
This place is deep in the mountains, so there is no need to worry about anyone coming here.
Huya took off her clothes. As she was not used to being naked outside, she put on a small outfit specially designed for hot spring bathing and slowly immersed herself in the hot spring pool.
The sulfur-containing hot spring water soaked through the wound, and Huya trembled slightly in pain.
But Huya knew that the hot spring water would be good for her wounds, so she remained silent and gritted her teeth to endure it.
Xing Xing had to look after Hu Ya at all times, so she did not go to the hot spring, but just sat by the pool and played in the water.
After soaking for only about half an hour, Xingxing heard some hurried footsteps approaching.
Xing Xing's eyes widened. How could there be people in such a remote mountain?
She hurriedly got up and called out "Sister Huya".
Huya's scar removal process was extremely exhausting, and she almost fell asleep while soaking in the hot spring pool. But fortunately, she was still alert, and when Xingxing called her, she woke up immediately: "What's wrong——"
As a result, the movement of the two people also made the newcomers discover them.
——"Wait, I think I heard some voices?"
——"Isn't it said that there are not many people in the deep mountains?"
Xing Xing was slightly stunned when she heard the voice of the person coming.
Wait, why do these two voices sound so familiar?
Like——the voices of Yu Mingzhu and Wei Shuangyan?
There were also a few chirping sounds, which Xingxing had never heard before and couldn't distinguish.
However, soon, those people came out.
They turned out to be a few noble ladies dressed extremely gorgeously, surrounded by maids.
The maids were holding baskets with thin bathrobes in them, and it looked like they were going to take a hot spring bath.
Not to mention Xingxing, even the people opposite were stunned when they saw Xingxing and Huya who was still soaking in the hot spring.
Yu Mingzhu's expression twisted slightly.
It was Wei Shuangyan who first revealed Xing Xing's identity: "Mr. Fusui? Why are you here?"
Xing Xing explained: "Of course, we come here to soak in the hot springs."
Yu Mingzhu chuckled: "What a coincidence."
Wei Shuangyan stopped talking.
The other noblewoman, however, looked at Xing Xing with great enthusiasm, and stared at her for a long time before she smiled sweetly: "Mr. Fusui, we finally meet."
She introduced herself with a smile, "I'm Qing'an. I sent you an invitation a few days ago. I want you to come to my house in a few days."
Xingxing reacted, Qing'an, Princess Qing'an?
Isn't she the princess of Prince Ying's family who, together with her mother, Princess Ying, discovered the money she donated in the charity's account book and helped her earn the title of Lady of the Country?
Xing Xing bowed and said, "Greetings to the princess."
Princess Qing'an came over to help Xingxing up in a familiar manner: "Oh, there's no need to be so polite."
Princess Qing'an looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, lively and steady, and seemed easy to get along with.
Princess Qing'an is obviously the most noble among the noble ladies including Yu Mingzhu.
Princess Qing'an was quite interested in Xingxing, so Yu Mingzhu and the others didn't know what to say.
"It was the female doctor in our palace who told me about this medicinal spring deep in the mountains. We found it boring to soak in the hot springs on the farm, so we thought of taking a bath in this legendary medicinal spring in the mountains." Princess Qing'an explained to Xingxing with a smile and a good temper.
