Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 896 Means of Self-Preservation

By the time Yu'er saw Shi Jia, half a day had passed. It wasn't because Shi Jia was holding Qiao, but after coming down the mountain, she hurried to Shitou's house to make medicine to remove the poison for him, and to deal with the venomous snake while it was still fresh, which delayed her for half a day.

Fortunately, this "fish" had enough patience and was willing to wait for Shi Jia to pull the hook.

"Butler Luo, this is Doctor Zhao," He Zhenyuan introduced hurriedly.

Butler Luo smiled and said, "Dr. Zhao, nice to meet you. I am Luo An, the butler of the Luo Mansion."

Shi Jia nodded and greeted him.

"Doctor Zhao, I came here this time to ask you to come to the city to treat my master." Butler Luo said his intention. He knew the character of some masters and did not like to beat around the bush.

"What disease?" Shi Jia asked.

"Half a month ago, my master woke up in the morning and suddenly fainted. I asked another doctor to treat him, and he said he had a stroke."

Stroke? Stroke? Cerebral hemorrhage?

"What symptoms?"

"This..." Butler Luo was in a dilemma. He was a little worried that the master's symptoms would scare Doctor Zhao away. But seeing Shi Jia's serious face, he could only continue speaking, "The mouth is crooked, the eyes are slanted, the hands and feet are weak, and the speech is not very clear..."

"Well, is there vomiting? Headache? Coma?" Shi Jia asked.

Butler Luo thought for a moment and said, "No."

"Okay, I'll go back and pack my medical box now." Shi Jia said and turned around and went up the mountain.

Butler Luo was stunned. Did he agree? But how to get to the mountain? The forest not far away was full of green. The wind blew, and the trees rustled. A few birds chirped in the wind, and one or two wild animals neighed in the ears.

He frowned and looked at He Zhenyuan.

He Zhenyuan understood what he meant and said, "Doctor Zhao's home is in the back mountain." Worried that housekeeper Luo might misunderstand, he hurriedly said, "Doctor Zhao likes quietness, so he lives in the mountain on purpose."

Butler Luo's evaluation of Doctor Zhao improved by one point.

Shi Jia soon appeared in front of them with a backpack and a medicine box on his back. "Butler Luo, I'm ready, let's go."

"Okay, Doctor Zhao, the journey to the provincial capital is long, and it will take at least a whole day to travel by carriage non-stop. It's already noon, do you think we should go to the county to rest for a night and continue our journey tomorrow? Or should we go directly to the provincial capital?" Butler Luo thought about it and asked Doctor Zhao for his opinion.

He definitely wanted to go back to the city directly. Although the city gates would be closed when they got back, they could go to the farm to rest for a night first.

"Then let's go directly to the provincial capital. I believe Butler Luo has already made arrangements." Although the patient's condition is relatively stable now, the earlier he is treated, the more hope there is, right?
"Okay, then please get in the carriage, Doctor Zhao. There are food and soft blankets in the carriage. You can rest if you feel tired." Butler Luo smiled and his attitude seemed a little more friendly.

Shi Jia got on the carriage alone. The carriage was very spacious, at least 1.8 meters long and 1.2 meters wide, and was pulled by two horses.

The cushions in the car were made of brocade with beautiful cloud patterns. There were two layers of curtains. One layer was made of bamboo woven curtains. The bamboo pieces were delicate and exquisite, and the edges were wrapped with brocade, which made people love it. The other layer was made of transparent gauze curtains made of silk, as thin as a cicada's wing. Shi Jia felt it was very smooth and light.

Just looking at these two things, you can see that the Luo Mansion is unusual.

Shi Jia touched the carriage, the wood grain was fine and delicate, with a faint fragrance. It seemed to be Huanghuali wood. Shi Jia didn't know much about wood, but he had seen an introduction to Huanghuali wood when reading miscellaneous books.

Huanghuali wood takes ten years to bloom and one hundred to sixty years to mature. If she was not mistaken, the carriage was made of Huanghuali wood.

Shi Jia sighed secretly, thinking that the Luo family might not just be rich.

She retracted her gaze and saw the cakes on the small table. They were in the shape of flowers, delicate and small. She couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in her mouth.

Hmm~ The taste is dense, sweet but not greasy. Delicious. She glanced at the teapot beside her and quickly poured herself a cup. The tea was cold, but the taste was slightly sweet, which was very refreshing.

For now, Shi Jia is still very satisfied with the Luo family's attitude.

"Ah~ Huh~" Shi Jia yawned. The shaking of the carriage made her want to sleep. She went to bed late last night because she was making pills. This morning, she was woken up by the villagers to detoxify the stone. It was a rare opportunity for her to hold on until now.

Shi Jia didn't force himself. He took out a soft quilt from the box, used it as a pillow, and fell asleep.

The carriage swayed for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" and the entire carriage shook violently.

Shi Jia was awakened, and in her daze she felt a murderous aura spreading in the air. She opened the door of the carriage with doubt, and saw six men in black attacking Butler Luo and two guards.

It can be seen that Butler Luo and the guards are already at a disadvantage. They are obviously holding on. If they are not careful, they will be hacked to death by the men in black.

Shi Jia's face changed drastically and he got out of the car quickly.

Butler Luo noticed Shi Jia's actions and said, "Doctor Zhao, hurry up!"

It was impossible to leave, and of course it was impossible to fight. In the past two months, Shi Jia tried to practice martial arts, but it was obvious that this body did not have the qualifications to practice martial arts, or perhaps this world did not allow Zhao Wenwen's body to practice martial arts.

So her efforts over the past two months were just to strengthen her body.

But, if she can’t win, can’t she poison him?
"Butler Luo, get out of the way!" Shi Jia took out a small slingshot at some point and shot it towards the man in black.

The men in black were disdainful. They did not dodge or avoid, but just slowly turned sideways when the "marbles" came at them. However, "poof~" the "marbles" actually exploded, and a strange fragrance filled the air.

The man in black thought to himself, "Get out of the way! It's poisonous!"

However, it was too late. "Puff, puff..." Six "marbles" shot over and exploded in front of them. No matter how quickly they covered their noses, they could not avoid inhaling the poisonous fragrance.

"Kill her!" The man in black had red eyes, like a man-eating beast.

"Doctor Zhao, be careful!" Butler Luo and the guards rushed over desperately.

Shi Jia stood still, "3, 2, 1"

"Touch"*6
Butler Luo and the guards were stunned.

"Okay, Butler Luo, let's tie them up and see if we can find out who is behind this." Shi Jia said with a smile.

Butler Luo swallowed and said, "Doctor Zhao, you--" He didn't know how to start the rest of the sentence.

Shi Jia waved his hand. "When you go out, you have to have some means of self-protection, right? Besides, I often go up the mountain to collect herbs, so it's normal to encounter some wild animals. So I have the habit of carrying drugs with me. Don't worry, it's not poison."

Well, at most it will just make people lose their internal strength.

"You are right." Butler Luo nodded vigorously.

Shi Jia smiled, "I think so too. I'll leave the rest to Butler Luo. I'll go for a walk. I just woke up and I need to stretch my muscles."

"Okay." After Butler Luo finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "Doctor Zhao, Mr. He was injured by a villain. Please go and see him."

Shi Jia was stunned when she heard this. She said she felt like something was missing. "Is the injury not serious?" She walked to another carriage and saw He Zhenyuan with blood on his abdomen. She quickly checked him.

"Nothing vital has been hurt. I'll apply some medicine and bandage it."

After Shi Jia treated He Zhenyuan's injuries, Steward Luo and his men tied up the men in black and woke them up. However, these men in black had obviously been cruelly trained. They all had the spirit of dying rather than surrendering. After waking up, without waiting for Steward Luo to ask anything, they bit the poison sac hidden in their teeth and committed suicide.

Butler Luo had an ugly look on his face and could only ask the guards to bury their bodies on the spot.

After setting off again, the journey was smooth, but because of the attack, we arrived at the Luo family's farm an hour later than expected. (End of this chapter)
