Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"Um,"

Li Shishi responded softly, leaning delicately against Zhao Yuan's chest.

"I actually quite like being sick."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Nobody likes being sick."

Zhao Yuan thought Li Shishi had lost her mind from the fever.

He quickly reached out to touch her smooth forehead.

"Because only when I am sick will you stay by my side as before..."

Li Shishi said quietly.

"Uh......"

Zhao Yuan's raised hand suddenly froze.

Looking at Li Shishi's sorrowful expression,

He finally understood the problem.

After thinking about it carefully,

Since reuniting with Lu Zhishen in the past few days,

He truly neglected the beauty in his arms.

"Feel sorry,"

Zhao Yuan said apologetically in a low voice.

Read Water Margin before time travel

He also felt that some of the people there were too clueless about romance.

Why leave your beautiful pet at home untreated?

But he liked to hang out with rough, burly men.

They practiced with guns and sticks every day, competing and exchanging techniques.

Can men be more interesting than women?

As a result, upon arriving in this world of Water Margin,

But he made the same mistake as those people!

grass,

I almost got completely absorbed in the philosophy of wrestling!

Zhao Yuan quickly reflected on his actions.

......

Half an hour later, we arrived at the town.

Lu Zhishen led the carriage to the entrance of an inn.

He volunteered and rushed off to find the doctor.

Zhao Yuan held Li Shishi in his arms and waited in the carriage for a while.

Lu Zhishen did not return.

The carriage was too cold.

He then simply carried Li Shishi into the inn.

Just walked in,

Zhao Yuan then discovered in the inn,

It was packed full!

For a moment, no empty seats could be found.

Zhao Yuan had no choice but to spend more money.

They just moved to two different spots closer to the stove.

"What would you two like to order?"

After the two sat down, the waiter came to serve them.

"First, some warm wine, then pick out the meat and vegetables, and make a bowl of hot porridge..."

Zhao Yuan gave the instructions.

"Alright, sir, please wait a moment, I'll go heat up your wine right away."

The waiter responded and turned to leave.

When I came back,

He was carrying a wine pot and several earthenware bowls in his hands.

Place the bowl on the table.

The waiter first poured a bowl of wine.

Seeing Zhao Yuan pick up the glass and drink it all in one gulp,

He hurriedly reminded him, "Sir, please drink slowly. The wine in our shop is quite strong. Two or three bowls will be enough."

"Waiter, most shopkeepers are afraid that if customers don't eat enough, they'll earn less money. Why is it the other way around here?"

Zhao Yuan was somewhat curious.

"Sir, you are unaware of this,"

The waiter said with a hint of smugness,

"Our wine, though it's village wine, tastes better than aged wine. Whenever a guest comes to my shop and eats three bowls, he gets drunk and can't cross the hill in front of him, hence the name 'Three Bowls and You Can't Cross the Hill'."

"If it is a regular customer, they will only eat three bowls and then ask no more questions."

"I saw that you, sir, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. It's obvious you don't know how potent this wine is, so I spoke up to remind you."

"Three bowls and you can't cross the hill?"

Upon hearing the waiter's explanation, Zhao Yuan's expression immediately became somewhat strange.

"Brother, the hill you mentioned, you wouldn't happen to be Jingyang Hill, would you?"

"That's right, it really is Jingyanggang,"

The waiter nodded.

His gaze drifted to Li Shishi beside Zhao Yuan.

But he couldn't help but say,

"Judging from this gentleman's complexion, has he caught a cold? If so, it could be quite troublesome!"

Chapter Twenty-Five: A Tiger on Jingyang Ridge

"Why is it troublesome? Is it because there aren't any good doctors here?"

Zhao Yuan hurriedly asked,

"Sir, although our town appears prosperous, it is mostly frequented by merchants passing through,"

The waiter explained,

"Furthermore, this place is not far from Yanggu County. You can reach it by crossing Jingyang Ridge. So merchants would stop here for a short while and then immediately set off to cross the ridge. Naturally, no famous doctors were willing to stay here."

"So that's it..."

Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment,

"Then please bring out the food and drink we just had quickly. We'll eat and then immediately set off for the hill."

"this......"

The waiter hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"what happened again?"

Zhao Yuan frowned, recalling that Wu Song became famous for killing the tiger on Jingyang Ridge.

He immediately had a bad feeling.

"Brother, is there some kind of problem on Jingyang Ridge?"

"Sir, to tell you the truth, a large tiger with piercing eyes and a white forehead has recently appeared on Jingyang Ridge. Not to mention at night, even during the day, that beast dares to jump out and hurt people, and has already taken the lives of thirty or twenty strong men."

The waiter sighed and explained.

"The government has issued a notice ordering the hunters to get rid of the tiger within a specified period, but in recent days, the hunters have suffered many injuries, while the tiger is still free and at ease."

"Nowadays, merchants only dare to set off across the hill when they have a group of thirty or forty people."

The waiter pointed to the customers inside the shop as he spoke.

"Sir, look at all these people in our shop right now, they're all waiting to form a group."

Zhao Yuan looked up and glanced around.

The lobby of this hotel is not very large.

At the very least, there are fewer than twenty people.

"Brother Er, in your opinion, how long will it take to gather a team of thirty or forty people?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"It's past noon now, and it's winter, so fewer merchants are coming. In my opinion, we probably won't be able to gather enough people today,"

The waiter kindly advised,

"Gentlemen, you should find a place to rest in town. Come back early tomorrow morning, and there will definitely be a procession coming over."

"this......"

Zhao Yuan glanced at Li Shishi standing to the side.

Perhaps it was because they had been warming themselves by the fire for a while,

She seemed to be in better spirits than she had been in the carriage.

But Zhao Yuan really dared not take the risk.

If we follow what the waiter said,

Spending one night here

In case Li Shishi's condition is delayed

Even if he regrets it later, it will be too late.

"Alright, waiter, please hurry up and bring us our food and drinks. We have a companion with us, and once he arrives, the three of us will immediately cross the border."

The waiter offered a couple more words of advice.

Seeing that Zhao Yuan was determined to cross the post alone,

He could only mutter, "If you don't listen to good advice, you'll regret it later."

He then turned to greet the other guests.

......

The hot porridge was served quickly.

Li Shishi, however, felt somewhat weak all over.
