Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 115 115. Doctor
Gu Kaiyuan then went to the side of the carriage and asked Gu Kaiping, "Brother, how is An Tong's health? Has her fever subsided?"

Gu Kaiping looked at Gu Kaiyuan coldly, "Thank you for your concern, Third Brother, but the medicine doesn't seem to be working. The fever hasn't gone down at all."

"I wonder if my third brother could ask Lord Liu if they have any better medicine?"

Gu Kaiyuan knew that these ungrateful bastards had helped them, but it was all for nothing. Judging from Gu Kaiping's expression, he knew that Gu Kaiping was taking his anger out on them.

He personally sought out the medicine, but it's useless now, so should he be held responsible for this?

"Brother, you really overestimate me. You came with me to beg Lord Liu before, and it's not easy to ask for help like that."

However, I heard that we should be able to reach the post station tonight. I believe An Tong should be able to hold on for half a day.

My younger brother can't help much here, so he can only pray for his niece in his heart.

I just brought over some porridge; it's just a small token of my appreciation as its uncle.

"Third brother, you're really thoughtful. I wonder if you could talk to Lord Liu and see if things could be a little faster this afternoon?"

Gu Kaiyuan looked surprised. "Brother, do you know what you're saying?"

Given our current situation, how could we possibly command these escorts?
Before I was convicted, I was just a commoner, while my elder brother was an official in the Hanlin Academy. Your intervention is less effective than my words.

Gu Kaiyuan cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "My abilities are far too limited, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do my best for you, brother. I'll head back now."

They really want to kick themselves out and become scapegoats. With a group of over a hundred people, do they think everyone can ride in the car because they want to speed up?
Is it possible to get so many people to risk their lives for Gu Antong with just a casual remark?

Let alone everyone's current situation, even if they were still in their previous positions, they wouldn't be so humiliated.

If he were to say this to Liu Pingkang, his reputation would be ruined.

It's estimated that he'll carry the infamy of being stupid, vicious, and utterly nonsensical for the rest of his life.

On his way back, he was still thinking that today's porridge was a waste, and he would have to add something to it next time to vent his anger.

Bai Suihe was already used to seeing Gu Kaiyuan return with a dark face, guessing that the Gu family was making things difficult for him again.

I filled a bowl of porridge for him; that's what they'll eat out today. There's also a small stove in the car; they'll steam meat buns, steamed bread, and the like while they're driving. They certainly won't skimp on themselves.

"From now on, you only need to prepare enough for your father; you don't need to worry about the others."

Bai Suihe nodded with a smile, "I'll talk to Dongmei and the others later."

The two young couples had already hidden in a corner, being affectionate, and they would feel much more at ease not eating with them.

As for Gu Antong, Bai Suihe did know some ways to reduce fever, but why should she tell them?
Although she was once named one of the top ten outstanding youths, she has one small virtue: she holds grudges the most.

Putting aside her experiences in the original book, the Gu family showed her no kindness whatsoever when she came to this world.

However, as the female protagonist in the book, she is very lucky and it is impossible for her to die because of this minor illness.

I have some questions, though. The book doesn't seem to mention that Gu Antong had this ordeal. Could it be that her arrival caused a butterfly effect?

Gu Kaiyuan was unwilling to help or do what he said, which made Gu Kaiping both angry and resentful.

Gu Kaiyuan is arrogant because he married Bai Shi and lives off a woman. When he returns to officialdom, he will definitely separate Gu Kaiyuan from the government; his influence won't be so easily reaped.

"Why haven't we set off yet?" Liu Yun had never been in such a hurry. The medicine had already been given, but it was still so hot.

"Don't rush me. Don't you know your place? We can't possibly command so many people," Gu Kaiping said irritably. Of all these people, not one of them is easy to deal with.

An Tong is the same; she was perfectly fine, so why did she suddenly develop a fever?

Even though they were in a hurry, they could only follow the pace of the escorts, swaying and staggering, their hearts pounding with anxiety, until they finally arrived at the post station as night fell.

This time, the eldest branch of the Gu family stopped dawdling. As soon as the convoy stopped, Gu Kaiping rushed in, asking, "Where's the doctor? Is there a doctor here?"

The shopkeeper was somewhat displeased. "Stop making a racket here. Everyone, stay outside for now."

Didn't you see him talking to the guards? He really has no sense of propriety at all.

"Never mind, shopkeeper, find him a doctor," Liu Pingkang said, as he also had children of his own and was able to empathize with the situation.

"Da Niu, since Lord Liu has spoken, go and invite the doctor from next door over."

The guy called Da Niu quickly agreed, and as he left, he didn't forget to drag Gu Kaiping away with him.

Knowing that this person was taking him to see a doctor, Gu Kaiping didn't struggle. Instead, he urged, "Brother Er, hurry up, he's almost delirious with fever."

Gu Antong had indeed started talking nonsense, but her voice was very soft, and they couldn't understand what she was saying.

"What's the rush?" Da Niu didn't dare say that in front of the innkeeper, but once he left the post station, he straightened his back and stopped. "Doctors aren't so easy to find."

"Didn't you say it was next door?" Gu Kaiping didn't react for a moment. "Left or right?"

Da Niu looked at the slovenly man in front of him with some disdain. If you're asking for a favor, you should have the right attitude. Who would do anything for him if he acted like this?
"Then go find it yourself," Da Niu snorted and prepared to turn back.

Gu Kaiping still didn't understand that he was a complete idiot, so he quickly took out ten copper coins and said, "Brother Er, thank you for your trouble."

Da Niu weighed the contents in his hand, still looking somewhat dissatisfied, but he still left with his men.

He just muttered under his breath, "What a poor bastard! He still needs to ask for favors."

"Dr. Huang, someone here needs medical attention," he shouted loudly as he led the person to the small courtyard next door, before the person had even entered.

"Someone needs medical attention," a woman said as she opened the door. Seeing Da Niu, she warmly welcomed him inside. "Who is it?"

Da Niu pointed at Gu Kaiping and said, "It's him. He said someone in his family has a fever, and our manager asked me to bring him over."

Seeing Gu Kaiping's tattered clothes and strange smell emanating from him, the woman couldn't help but take a step back. "Another exile."

"Yes, quite a few people have come this time. Tell Doctor Huang to prepare more medicine; we might need it." Da Niu's attitude was clearly different from before; he was much more respectful to this woman.

"Thank you very much, Brother Da Niu," the woman said, handing over a handful of copper coins. "You've gone to all this trouble again. I'll have Lao Huang treat you to drinks later."

Da Niu skillfully took it and put it away. "That's good. I have a lot of things to do over there, so I won't linger here."

Fortunately, Madam Huang was home today; otherwise, given Doctor Huang's personality, he would have at most offered a dry thank you.
