Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 41 - 23 Finally Arrives in Liuzhou

Chapter 41: Chapter 23 Finally Arrives in Liuzhou

Gu Changsheng really did as he said; the path they took next was quite uneventful.

Even the three conspicuous maids were handled in such a way by him, making everything bland and ordinary.

Being attractive is indeed a curse, how safe she felt!

Gu Changsheng watched the three maids following behind him resentfully, curled his lips, and thought, what’s the point of being so prettily born? Although it was comforting to look at, it was indeed a blow to himself, who was of ordinary appearance.

“My lady, that’s Liuzhou City up ahead.” Han Qiu pointed into the distance.

The towering city walls were now visible; without the official road to guide them, it had taken them half a month to make it here using rural paths!

Damn, the difference between rural paths and official roads was huge, truly a chasm hard to cross between officials and commoners, and it almost killed Gu Changsheng on the way!

“Oh my dear mother, we’re finally almost home, comrades, victory is right ahead, charge!” Gu Changsheng yelled, holding his son and dashed toward the city gate, completely abandoning his previous snail-like speed.

If there’s one thing to say about Gu Changsheng, apart from exercising his body, it’s that he absolutely preferred lying down over sitting, and sitting over standing. One could imagine the hardship he endured along the way.

Liuzhou City, located in the heart of Liuzhou, was built magnificently, with tall city gates and rows of soldiers stationed, checking each passerby’s travel permits.

Gu Changsheng cooperated and had his travel permits checked, and then entered the city with the excited Xiao Cui and Dong Lei.

The city, while not as bustling as the Capital City, was much better than any other cities they had passed along the way.

“My lady, that is Screw Alley, there’s a Hu’s Pastries there that makes delicious treats.” Dong Lei pointed excitedly at an alleyway to introduce it to Gu Changsheng.

“My lady, over there is Guanmao Street, which once produced a Top Scholar, and they even erected a tall archway for him.”

“My lady, look over there, that’s He Family Lamb Soup, I used to eat there often.” Dong Lei pointed enthusiastically at a roadside stall, “Their lamb soup is rich but not gamey, I can drink three large bowls at a time!”

Gu Changsheng looked at her proudly holding up three fingers, then glanced at her slender body, reached out and smacked down her ostentatious hand, and said unhappily, “You don’t have to say it, I know you’re a foodie!”

“But you eat so much yet don’t gain weight, which is really annoying. If Young Master Du sees you, he’s definitely going to beat you up!”

Along the way, thanks to those twenty taels of silver, although not overly sufficient, they never starved. Dong Lei was especially lively in her eating, with a tremendous appetite.

“My lady, I used to be very fat, like this.” Dong Lei drew a large circle around her body with both hands, meaning it must have been three to four times her current size.Upd@te by novg0 .co

“Hm, good, keep eating towards that figure, it will also comfort me a bit.” Gu Changsheng nodded seriously, this maid was too skinny, and too attractive. It’d be better if she were a bit fatter, safer!

“Yes my lady, don’t worry, I eat two large bowls of rice each meal, I will definitely fatten myself up, being like this, is really ugly.” Dong Lei touched her barely fleshed body disdainfully, truly unattractive.

Gu Changsheng was too lazy to correct Xiao Leizi’s sense of beauty, in her eyes, only stout and chubby were considered attractive, how ridiculous. Anyway, no amount of explaining would make her believe it, so let her continue with her twisted view.

“My lady, just ahead is Tongji Street, and Gu Family Medical Hall is on that street. In the past, when Old Grand Master was still alive, Gu Family Medical Hall was very prosperous, and patients would line up for consultation before dawn…” Xiao Cui pointed at a street corner, shouting loudly.

It made the passing pedestrians frequently turn their heads to look.

Gu Changsheng was also excited, having journeyed south from the Capital City for several months, from early summer to the sweltering summer, she was eager to find her own place to thoroughly wash off the travel dust.

“What are we waiting for, lead the way!” Gu Changsheng smacked Xiao Cui on the head and walked toward the end of Tongji Street with her son in her arms.

Tongji Street was fairly wide, wide enough for two carriages to ride side by side, and the streetside was lined with shops, quite bustling.

Gu Changsheng looked around with satisfaction, feeling somewhat at ease.

But her peace didn’t last long, as she was startled by the sight of a dilapidated shop ahead, quite spacious, but its plaster walls were peeling badly, many tiles on the roof had broken, and the door and windows were very old. Gu Changsheng widened her eyes in disbelief, looking at Xiao Cui, “Xiao Cui, are you saying this is Gu Family Medical Hall?”
