Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 147 Attitude Change

Two hours have passed since they started walking, and everyone's physical strength has been consumed to a certain extent. Moreover, they have just been attacked by a wild boar. Everyone wants to go down the mountain quickly. The order from the Eighth Prince undoubtedly made everyone feel relieved.

Xiao Guoer was no longer concerned with finding out the cause of the plague. If another wild boar came, she would be scared to death!

Another team heard the roar of the wild boar and also rushed over here, but they were not as close as the Eighth Prince's team, so they arrived later.

Shun'er was carried on the backs of two guards in turn, and everyone walked down the mountain. The wild boar waited for the villagers to go back to the village and call more people before it could be carried down.

Xiao Guoer followed Tang Jingchen closely, but for some reason she suddenly felt uneasy.

Perhaps it was because his tense nerves had not yet completely calmed down after escaping from danger, or perhaps it was because that person's eyes were too sharp, carrying an indescribable sense of oppression and aggression.

Her thoughts were tangled like a tangled mess, and the cold sweat stuck to her body, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

But soon, her whole attention was focused on the road under her feet.

As the saying goes, “It’s easier to go up a mountain than to go down.” This is absolutely true!

The mountain road was rugged and winding, and if she wasn't careful, she could easily fall down. In addition, her legs were a little weak now, so she had to be extra careful with every step.

Yesterday, she applied medicine to the abraded areas on her feet, which healed overnight. By the time she woke up this morning, the scabs had formed. She was wearing the larger-sized shoes that Jingchen had bought for her, and she thought it would no longer affect her walking. But now it was starting to hurt again, even more than yesterday.

It was probably because when going down the mountain, the shoes squeezed the little toe much more severely than when going up the mountain, and the scab must have broken again.

Her steps gradually slowed down. Tang Jingchen noticed her walking posture, understood what was going on, and then bent down in front of her.

"Come up, I'll carry you."

"No need, I can just walk slowly." Everyone had consumed a lot of energy. The road was difficult to walk on. It was hard enough to walk alone, wouldn't it be even harder to carry another person on one's back?

Tang Jingchen was very persistent, "Come on, you are walking too slowly, we can't keep up with the team, once we are left alone, we will be in danger."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Guoer finally lay on Tang Jingchen's back.

Xiao Guo'er was petite and light, but Tang Jingchen had never practiced martial arts and his physical fitness was average. Now that he had to bear an extra weight and try to keep up with the pace of the entire team, he was soon exhausted and out of breath.

As time went by, Tang Jingchen began to fall behind the team. Just when Xiao Guoer was about to grit her teeth and insist on walking on her own, the team in front unexpectedly slowed down.

As they rushed over, everyone stopped.

The majestic voice of the Eighth Prince came from the front, "Everyone, rest where you are."

Hearing this, Xiao Guoer and Tang Jingchen both breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Jingchen seemed to have lost all his strength, and sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

Xiao Guoer looked at Tang Jingchen's exhausted appearance, and she couldn't help but feel distressed. She said softly, "Why don't you let me walk by myself for a while? My feet are fine now, and I can hold on."

Tang Jingchen was trying to calm his breathing and had no time to speak, but he shook his head firmly.

At the front of the team, Shen Jing stared at his master with a strange look on his face.

He really didn't understand why the prince suddenly gave such an order when everything was going well.

Could it be because of the two people at the back who are dawdling and can’t keep up with the team?

Ever since he encountered the wild boar just now, he could clearly feel that the prince was a little absent-minded.

Moreover, the number of times he looked at the two people intentionally or unintentionally became more and more frequent. He no longer frowned as before when he saw the two people walking side by side intimately. Instead, he was very calm, unusually calm.

Just like now, although the prince's expression at this moment is calm and peaceful, his sharp eyes as sharp as a knife exude a dangerous aura that makes people feel frightened and nervous.

Shen Jing keenly noticed that the prince's attitude towards the two people was subtly changing without him noticing, but he didn't understand the reason for this change.

They heard the howling of the wild boar and rushed over from a distance, just in time to see the thrilling scene where Xiao Guoer threw himself on Master Tang without caring about his own life, and rolled on the ground to protect him.

Even he was somewhat shocked by the deep friendship between the two. Why was the prince even more displeased than before?

He has been with the prince for so many years, and he can tell how the prince feels at the moment from the subtle changes in his facial expression.

There is no doubt that the prince is in an unhappy mood, with a hint of inexplicable anger and anxiety.

But why? Because the cause of the plague has not been found? But didn't the prince have a plan in mind?

Shen Jing was puzzled and couldn't help but look behind him.

The two people were still leaning against each other, whispering to each other, but no one knew what they were talking about.

Just as he was about to turn his gaze back, he suddenly froze. When he saw clearly what was climbing on the tree behind the two men, his face changed.

Just as he was about to walk over, he saw a figure flash before him, and the prince actually strode towards the direction of the two men.

It was only after Tang Jingchen's breathing gradually calmed down that Xiao Guoer noticed a slight rustling sound coming from behind her.

She was puzzled and turned to look, but at that moment, all the hairs on her body stood up and her pupils dilated instantly.

It turned out to be a snake!

She was completely unable to react, as if she was under a spell of immobilization. Her eyes were fixed on the cold-blooded animal less than a meter away from her, and she couldn't even move her eyeballs.

Oh my god, her biggest fear is snakes!

She held Tang Jingchen's hand tightly and increased her strength involuntarily, causing Tang Jingchen to look at her in confusion.

Then, Tang Jingchen was also stunned.
