Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 127 - 70 Yuan Bao Seeks Help
Chapter 127: Chapter 70 Yuan Bao Seeks Help
Lan Zhi’s Family next door is about to have a new addition, so they are busy building the west room.
Building a house is a major event, and the neighbors with their simple customs all lent a helping hand, mortaring and moving bricks—the scene was bustling with activity.
Yesterday, Uncle Song and Han Mo had escaped their predicaments by helping Lan Zhi’s Family, and having learned of their own wives’ unpleasant hobbies, they didn’t wait for their orders the next day. Right after breakfast, they smacked their buttocks and rushed to help again, their silhouettes revealing an air of making a hasty retreat.
Xiao Cui, Han Qiu, and a few others gazed at these two men with eyes full of envy.
During their wives’ idle moments, to be able to leave their sides was truly the most delightful thing in the world…
By the time Yuan Bao arrived, it was already past noon. He tied his horse to the old locust tree at the entrance of Gu Changsheng’s House and began to fret with a wrinkled chubby face. Lady Changsheng’s doorstep was right there, should he barge in directly?
...
Lady Changsheng seemed especially displeased by his uninvited entries, and he was on a significant mission this time, plus he needed to ask for a favor. Irritating Lady Changsheng didn’t seem like a good idea.
“Yuan Bao, if you can’t handle this, when you come back I will throw you into the Medicinal Garden of the Punishment Hall at Yhan Ting.” Diao Chan’s threat was still ringing in his ears.
That executioner at Yhan Ting cherished his ramshackle Medicinal Garden as if it were gold; if someone stepped on a single plant, he would detain them at the Punishment Hall and subject them to all eighteen types of torture.
Yuan Bao looked at his round waistline, and as Lady Changsheng said, he was such a big lump that if Diao Chan tossed him in there, who knew how many herbs would be crushed. Just thinking about it gave him goosebumps—Yhan Ting would probably flay him alive!
With his face as crumpled as a steamed bun, Yuan Bao, who had been circling the doorway umpteen times, suddenly brightened up when he saw Han Mo passing by with a bucket of water.
“Hey, that dark-skinned boy!” Yuan Bao called out without hesitation, remembering the not-so-bright boy who followed Lady Changsheng’s beloved son.
Han Mo paused while carrying the water bucket, his face cold as he shot Yuan Bao a frosty glance.
When Yuan Bao saw he was being ignored, he realized his slip of the tongue—asking for help yet pointing out others’ flaws, he really was making it tough on himself. Hurrying along with his plump body, he followed up, “Ah, your name is Han Mo, right?”
Han Mo gave him a look that said it was a rhetorical question and ignored him.
“Uh, are you busy right now?” Yuan Bao asked with a smile, glancing at the water bucket Han Mo was holding.
Han Mo rolled his eyes; the Lady had indeed said Yuan Bao was a fool.
“Ah, you’re so young, and carrying such a big bucket of water can hurt your growth. Here, let me carry it for you.”
Han Mo sidestepped Yuan Bao’s outstretched hand; the lady said, never hit a smiling face, and at last he got a reaction.
“What do you want?” Why was he idly stopping him, when he was busy?
“Well, could you do me a favor?” Yuan Bao, rubbing his fat hands together, took out a purse and handed it over.
Han Mo looked at the purse in front of him, his dark face changing expressions rapidly. The Young Master said that the lady loved silver most; the Lady said, whoever doesn’t take the money within their grasp is a fool!
He put down the water bucket, accepted the purse, and decided he wouldn’t be a fool!
“Help with what?”
Seeing that he had taken the purse, Yuan Bao sighed with relief. None of Lady Changsheng’s subordinates, except for Xiao Leizi, were easy to deal with!
But one thing was certain; they all had eyes that shined at the sight of money!
“Well, I need to ask to see the Lady. Could you announce my visit for me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Mo hesitated, tilting his head as he sized Yuan Bao up and down, “Are you Yuan Bao?”

He hadn’t mistaken the person.
Yuan Bao’s face darkened as he slapped his belly, assuring emphatically, “I am Yuan Bao! Have you seen anyone else who stands out like me?”
Han Mo nodded his agreement; indeed, he hadn’t seen anyone else like that.
He had taken someone else’s money, now he had to clear the disaster for them; having received the money, he was going to announce the visit. Picking up the water bucket, he walked back in the direction of Lan Zhi’s Family, “Just wait here.”
After delivering the water by the wall where they were mixing mortar, Han Mo couldn’t help but give Yuan Bao another curious look on his return.
Gu Changsheng had set up a Small Medicine Furnace in the courtyard and was busy processing the herbs she had dug up from Baili Mountain.
“Lady, Yuan Bao asks to see you.” Han Mo entered, bowed, and reported.
Gu Changsheng, holding a wild Plantain Herb, turned her head, her face changing expressions, “Asks to see me?”
Was this nonsense? When had Yuan Bao ever asked to see her in such an earnest manner? Not to mention his penchant for not taking the usual path!
Glancing at the purse Han Mo was jingling in his hand, Gu Changsheng’s Phoenix Eyes narrowed slightly; this was not just asking for a visit, but also using silver to bribe her Servant Boy!
