Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

But she had no choice now.

"Ouch, that's tight! Qiu Duandao, hurry over and take the guest to the backyard to rest. Beauty Sai, quickly prepare hot water for the guest to wash up, Hu Mazi, bring in the guest's carriage from outside to the stables, use the best fodder, and clean it up."

The shopkeeper immediately changed his expression and bellowed with a loud voice upon hearing this.

With each name he called out, Gu Changsheng's eyelid twitched, Qiu Duandao? Beauty Sai? Hu Mazi? Such names full of Itinerant World's flair!

"And the room charge?" Gu Changsheng looked at the shopkeeper who was now haughty in front and respectful in back, completely different from before.

"One wen of money! I'm running a business, how can I not charge money? It's just a token fee, just give one wen of money to settle the matter," the shopkeeper said with a chuckle, rubbing his hands together and pointing towards the bearded Strong Guy coming over, "You just follow this lad here to get settled first. If there's anything you need, just order me around. My name is Hu Buer, you can rest assured to stay here, the rest need not be a concern."

This shopkeeper really had a pair of good hands, long and slim fingers, as if they could turn into claws and scratch very painfully, tsk tsk...

Looking at the bearded Strong Guy leading the way, with a well-built muscular body, appearing to be a skilled martial arts practitioner, and a broken sword at his waist turning brown with color, who knew how much blood it had stained.

"My lady, Hu Buer, 'Second Master' who kills people without a second blow, known as such in the Itinerant World," Han Qiu whispered with a furrowed brow behind Gu Changsheng. She frequented the military and didn't concern herself much with the matters of the Itinerant World, but she had heard of this man's reputation.

"Scary! Such a big reputation, yet he's just an innkeeper; doesn't he feel it's beneath his talents?" Gu Changsheng pursed his lips and continued walking forward.

The accommodation they were given was a courtyard that was neither too big nor too small, with three rooms and a separate courtyard door.

Gu Changsheng enjoyed a nice bath, thinking about that particularly enchanting Beauty Sai who brought the water. The name was well-deserved indeed; she was beautifully and bewitchingly attractive. If she were in the Brothel, she would surely be the top courtesan!

After getting organized, Gu Changsheng, holding the medicinal herbs brought down from the carriage, headed straight for the guest room on the far side.

There was still a half-dead person waiting for her salvation. She had gone through great pains to bring back this person, even at the risk of being smeared with blood. If he died, would she not have busied herself for nothing?

Moreover, he was an Iceberg Handsome Man! Gu Changsheng would never admit that she saved him because he was good-looking. After all, she had been a mother; it was just a matter of admiring from afar and perhaps teasing a little. For the time being, she had no plans for remarriage.

She picked out some herbs, sent Han Qiu to find a place to decoct them, and with Xiao Cui taking care of the two children, only she was there to do it... Ah, what a confluence of time, place, and people!

The person on the bed had not been attended to and still looked miserable, but he was quite conscious, his eyes coldly fixing on Gu Changsheng.

"Tsk tsk... to be injured like this, how weak must you be?" lamented Gu Changsheng at the waste of a fine appearance. Not content to stay at home, he had to go out and get hurt. She lifted his sleeve, looked at the crisscrossing wounds, and shook her head. So pitiful!

God knows what the rest of his body looked like; she recalled one of the knife wounds was particularly deep.

Gu Changsheng did not hesitate, not even glancing at his face, and got to work. The outer robe, stripped off! Although the fabric was good, it had been slashed beyond recognition.

The shirt, stripped off! There were still wounds on his shoulder and chest.

The trousers, stripped off! His legs were also covered in blood, clearly not intact.

As the trousers fell to the floor, underpants with golden-threaded seams were revealed.

Yikes! What had she seen?

Underpants! Red ones! Red ones! Red ones...

And embroidered with a sultry yellow chrysanthemum! A yellow chrysanthemum, ah...

It dazzled her pair of Red Phoenix Eyes, Iceberg Handsome Man, iron-blooded muscular man... Yet with a hint of sultry secrecy? Was there something wrong with her eyes, her logic, or was it this man's problem?

Her gaze swept across the body in bed, naked except for a pair of underpants, his sculpted torso, and long legs...

"Shameless!"

A cold and emotionless voice came through, causing Gu Changsheng to shiver and snap back from her lascivious thoughts. Only then did she realize she had been staring unabashedly at the person's naked body without moving her eyes. It was so embarrassing; she was already a mother! She choked on her saliva, not daring to look at the source of the threatening aura.

"It's just a lump of flesh, what's there to fear? No fear, no fear!" Gu Changsheng mumbled to herself as a form of psychological reinforcement while lifting her head. Goodness, why the look that could kill? What had she done? Wasn't it just stripping him?

"What kind of a look is that? Is that how you look at the person who saved your life?" Gu Changsheng, with hands on her hips, pointed at the stark-naked body with righteous indignation, "Do you think I enjoy looking at this? If it weren't for treating your injuries, I wouldn't bother with you."

"You're a doctor?" the person on the bed furrowed his brow.

"Genuine as they come! You've never seen a female doctor? Unusual, isn't it?"

"Who did you study under?"

Gu Changsheng frowned; this was actually hard to explain. A national treasure of modern Chinese medicine? The Imperial Medical College abroad? Whichever she mentioned, no one would know.

Hey, wait, why should she explain?

"You haven't figured out the situation yet? Let me tell you, I saved you with my poor eyesight, and on my turf, you still have the nerve to ask so many questions, are you asking for a beating?" Gu Changsheng curled her lips, picked up a cloth from the basin nearby, and vigorously wiped the blood stains off his body.

Thought you were tough? I'm wiping! I'm wiping! I'm wiping vigorously!

Tsk, tsk, his muscles are seriously no joke, and his thighs are really well-developed...

"Let me tell you, encountering me is like burning high incense in your past life. With injuries like these, anyone else would have left you to kick the bucket!" The injuries were quite severe, there were too many wounds, and crucially, there was a broken arrowhead near the root of the thigh.

Tsk, tsk, had it been a few inches higher, it would be a 'straight shot through the rooster,' and he'd be flouncing off to serve the Emperor, what a pity!

Cleaning, stopping the bleeding, bandaging, applying medicine...

Gu Changsheng would never admit that she touched a bit more than needed while removing the arrowhead. It was all for the treatment, understand? She was a decent person, why would she stoop so low?

But faced with a handsome man, damn it, and he's naked—how could she not touch? If it's free, why not touch!

The chill in the room grew heavier, a storm seemed to be brewing.

Gu Changsheng ignored it all, looked at the man wrapped like a mummy, reached out to pat his handsome face, and smiled with a lecherous grin, "Alright now, don't put on such a serious face, you dare to wear big red underpants, you're totally a secretive 'S'!"
