Chapter 159 He Doesn't Give You Money
Shen Jing was becoming increasingly unable to understand the Eighth Prince's thoughts. The cause of the plague had clearly been almost confirmed, so why was the Eighth Prince angry instead of happy?
He had a hunch...
"Except for Guard Zhang and the others who stay behind, the rest of you must hurry down the mountain. Do not whisper or talk to each other, as this will slow down your progress!"
After Shen Jing finished his orders, the two men separated their heads from each other, followed the guards, and walked down the mountain together.
Then, Shen Jing keenly sensed that the icy aura surrounding the Eighth Prince gradually dissipated...
really……
Shen Jing's heart couldn't help but feel heavy.
This time they went into the mountains with a clear purpose, which was to find out what was wrong with the stream. They did not wander around aimlessly like last time, so they did not waste too much time and did not encounter any dangers such as wild boars and poisonous snakes.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the sun had just risen to halfway in the sky.
Tang Jingchen and two guards were about to part ways with Xiao Guoer. Before Xiao Guoer could say goodbye, the Eighth Prince and the other guards had already walked away. Xiao Guoer had no choice but to swallow her spoiled farewell words and hurriedly catch up with the main force.
The two of them only had time to wave goodbye.
Xiao Guoer looked at the Eighth Prince in front of her, who was walking with vigorous steps and had a strong momentum, and sighed deeply.
She lamented that she would have to work for the moody Eighth Prince from now on!
Such a miserable fate, when will she be truly free? !
How could she and Tang Jingchen have fallen to this point?
It was all her fault for meddling in other people's business! She shouldn't have been such an ungrateful person in the first place. She should have let him drown in the Qingshui River!
Alas, it’s no use regretting anymore, I can only take it one step at a time!
As they got closer to Shanglin Village, Xiao Guoer became happier.
She put the unpleasant incident behind her and was filled with excitement again.
She was absolutely sure that the plague was caused by those bats!
She finally preserved Yuanyuan's lovely smiling face, and the people in these villages finally didn't have to wait for death in despair.
At this moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in her heart.
If God had a purpose in arranging this time travel for her, it must be to let her help rescue these villagers!
Fortunately, she did not give up! Her efforts were not in vain!
Seeing Xiao Guoer again, little Yuanyuan once again showed great welcome and enthusiasm. His little face was pale and thin due to the plague, but when he saw his favorite big brother, his eyes shone with a different kind of brilliance.
"Brother! I thought you were out catching the bad guys today and wouldn't come to see Yuan Yuan!"
Xiao Guoer is different from before. When facing such a lovely Yuanyuan, she always feels sad and reluctant, and can only force a smile to coax him.
This time, when she saw the little guy, her smile almost reached her ears. It was great that he didn't have to die!
"Brother caught the bad guy today! So I came to see Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan's illness will gradually get better in the future."
Hearing the news, the little guy was so happy that he danced and jumped, looking at his big brother with admiration, "Wow, brother is so awesome!"
Just now, Xiao Guoer had asked the old doctor and told him about the bat corpse they found near the spring in the forest. The old doctor stroked his beard, pondered for a long time, and then gave them a seemingly plausible answer.
"If it's because of bats, the symptoms of this plague are very consistent, but I dare not conclude it. I need to change the drinking water source and change the prescription. I will know after observing for two days."
All doctors have the same way of speaking, they will not say too much, but the old doctor's meaning can be understood by just listening to the sound of the strings.
At that time, Xiao Guoer couldn't help but put on a smug look on her face. She looked at the Eighth Prince who was also listening at the side, as if to say: See, see, I was right, wasn't I? See if you have anything else to say!
Unfortunately, she didn't see any resentful or embarrassed expression on the Eighth Prince's face. He just glanced at her calmly, as if he had completely forgotten what had happened to her. He turned to the old doctor and said politely, "Thank you for your trouble, old sir. Once the plague is eliminated, I will report it to the emperor and ask for a reward for you."
The old doctor's beard trembled with excitement. If he could really get the reward from His Majesty, he would be the only doctor in Huaiyang City! Just thinking about it was exciting!
"Thank you, Eighth Prince. I will do my best!"
Humph, when it comes to others, it's all about asking for rewards, but when it comes to her, it's all about attacking and mocking!
What an unfair treatment!
Seeing the Eighth Prince turning around and leaving without saying a word to her, Xiao Guo'er immediately trotted over to catch up with the Eighth Prince, who walked very fast thanks to his long legs. She followed closely behind him, pretending to be a very submissive and fawning man, and her voice was full of flattery.
"Your Majesty, I have made great contributions to this plague, right? When you reward people for their contributions in the future, could you please record my name? I am not greedy, but I have spent a lot of money to investigate the cause of the plague and to comfort the villagers. My family is not rich, and I have almost emptied my family's savings in the past few days. I hope Your Majesty will understand and pity me. If I can get some rewards from Your Majesty, I won't have to tighten my belt to live..."
Xiao Guoer kept on talking, totally unaware of the Eighth Prince's strange look and his increasingly slow pace.
It was not until the Eighth Prince stopped and looked at her with a smile that she stopped chattering.
What did she say wrong... Why was he looking at her so strangely? Others could give rewards, so why couldn't she? She had contributed a lot!
Just when Xiao Guo'er was wondering what was wrong with the Eighth Prince, she heard him suddenly ask, "You and Tang Jingchen have such a good relationship... Doesn't he give you money to spend?"
