Chapter 76 Drunk With One Cup

76 Drunk With One Cup

Qingfeng had killed them all in the blink of an eye. Li Niang was terrified and looked at Qingfeng even more cautiously.

They rode to a large ginkgo tree. Qingfeng followed Bai Wutong’s instructions and dug out the wooden box under the ginkgo tree.

After digging it out, Qingfeng quickly handed each of them a set of clothes.

Fortunately, Bai Wutong had the foresight to prepare in case Qingfeng brought back more than one person, so she had prepared a few sets of clean clothes.

After changing their clothes, Qingfeng made them spray disinfectant all over their bodies. Then, she poured the medicine into a small pot and let Lin Yue pick some firewood to boil the medicine.

When Lin Yue returned after picking the firewood, he saw Gu Zhongxun standing extremely close to Qingfeng. Gu Zhongxun’s dejected expression was swept away as he took Qingfeng’s pulse energetically.

Lin Yue suddenly threw the firewood in front of them and said angrily, “I came back from picking the firewood!”

Qingfeng glanced at him and then at Gu Zhongxun, who was frowning. “How is it?”

Gu Zhongxun shook his head and was about to speak when Lin Yue pulled Gu Zhongxun to the side and lectured him sternly, “The plague is contagious if you’re too close. As a doctor, don’t you know?”

Gu Zhongxun said gently and guiltily, “Brother Lin is right. I’ve learned a lot.”

Lin Yue felt as if he had punched cotton. He suddenly became discouraged. He glanced at Qingfeng, who was frowning, and said irritably, “It’s good that you know. Don’t cause trouble for others in the future!”

Qingfeng said to Lin Yue matter-of-factly, “Go boil some medicine.”

What boil medicine? She was clearly trying to send him away.

Lin Yue insisted on setting the fire in front of them.

As he burned the fire, he heard Gu Zhongxun say worriedly to Qingfeng, “Miss, if you can’t concoct the antidote in time, I’m afraid you won’t have much time left.”

“Not much time left?”

Lin Yue did not have time to think about how Gu Zhongxun could tell that Qingfeng was a woman. He was stunned and looked at Qingfeng in a daze.

As if he was not talking about herself, Qingfeng asked with an unchanging expression, “Is there a way to concoct an antidote?” Wen Renhua had formulated the Immortal Spiritual Pill for the emperor back then. She did not know how much his disciple had learned from him.

Gu Zhongxun shook his head. “I’ve seen such medical cases in my master’s records, but I’m not confident that I can concoct an effective medicine. Moreover, there are no herbs for me to use now.”

Seeing Gu Zhongxun shake his head, Qingfeng’s expression darkened. Hearing that he might be able to concoct a prescription, Lin Yue asked before Qingfeng could, “If there are herbs, are you able to study the prescription first?”

He suddenly spoke, startling Gu Zhongxun, who nodded. “It can be concocted, but it might not be effective.”

It was better to have a little hope than no hope. Qingfeng’s relaxed gaze collided with Lin Yue’s happy gaze. Lin Yue shrank back as if he had been electrocuted and hurriedly said to Gu Zhongxun, “There will definitely be herbs for you to study the prescription. You can think about what herbs you need now and make a list!”

Gu Zhongxun was stunned. “Uh, okay.” Other than the plague prescription, he had wanted to study this medical case for a long time.

…

After traveling all day, Bai Wutong and the others finally found a good place to camp for the night.

As soon as he lit the fire, Cui Lingyi rushed over with wine.

In addition to the wine, she had brought a roasted chicken, two plates of side dishes, and a plate of rice cakes.

Cui Lingyi smiled at Bai Wutong. “Remember our agreement? The moonlight is perfect now. Let’s have a drink.”

Bai Wutong glanced at Chu Tianbao, who was staring at her gloomily, and nodded. “Then one cup.”

Chu Tianbao’s face was filled with resentment. “Wife!”

Bai Wutong made an excuse. “It’s not harmful to your body to have a drink occasionally. If Tianbao wants a drink, you can drink too~”

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Tianbao’s eyes widened in surprise and he nodded hurriedly. He was just short of saying that he really wanted to drink it.

Bai Wutong was delighted and let Chu Tianbao sit beside her.

Cui Lingyi filled their glasses and said happily, “This is the wine Daughter’s red that my uncle has treasured for 20 years. I asked him for it several times, but he didn’t give me. But when I said that I was going to drink with you, he immediately gave it to me. Tsk, tsk, your reputation is even greater than mine now!” Then she joked, “In the future, I’ll be able to drink top-grade wine every time I use your name.”

The corners of Bai Wutong’s lips curled up as she placed the wine glass in Chu Tianbao’s hand. “It’s not easy to store it for 20 years. Save some for him.”

Cui Lingyi lowered her voice with pleasure and made a gesture that was shorter than the tip of a finger. “Then I’ll leave him a little.”

Chu Tianbao couldn’t help but ask eagerly, “Wife, can I drink now?”

Bai Wutong nodded and said, “Drink slowly.”

Before she could finish, Chu Tianbao picked up his wine glass and gulped it down impatiently.

Cui Lingyi said, “You can hold your liquor well!”

In the next second, Chu Tianbao threw the wine glass to the ground with a clang. Even his beard couldn’t hide his redness from head to toe. He chuckled and said, “Wife, wife, why… why are there five of you?”

The wine glass in Bai Wutong’s hand trembled. She looked at Cui Lingyi, who was also dumbfounded, and raised her eyebrows. She asked in confusion, “Are you sure this is not fake wine?”

Cui Lingyi glanced at the wine in her glass and then at Chu Tianbao, who was about to lose his balance and glanced at Bai Wutong to help him. “I don’t think so.” How could her uncle fool her with fake wine?

“Wife, wife, wife…” Chu Tianbao called out to her while smiling foolishly. He rubbed against her like a big bear.

Bai Wutong could not dodge in time and was hugged by him.

Chu Tianbao even rubbed his face against Bai Wutong’s delicate face. “I caught my wife.”

Cui Lingyi was caught off guard and looked away. She could not bear to look at them. She picked up her “fake wine” and quickly turned her back to them. “Your husband should be drunk. Little Phoenix, take good care of him. Let’s watch the moon and stars another day!” After saying that, she hurriedly fled, afraid that she would not see anything she should not see later.

The moment Chu Tianbao hugged Bai Wutong, the surroundings automatically cleared out.

In Chu Tianbao’s broad chest, Bai Wutong even heard Auntie Yang nagging at Stinky from afar, “Young Master, do you like a younger brother or sister?”

The corners of Bai Wutong’s mouth twitched. She tried to push Chu Tianbao away, but he tightened his grip.

Bai Wutong said angrily, “Let go! Tianbao!”

A drunk person could not be communicated with. Chu Tianbao buried his head in the neck of Bai Wutong and shook his head in a low voice. “Wife, you smell so good ~” He did not respond to her at all. He clearly did not hear what she said at all.

Bai Wutong looked at the half-spilled wine glass in his hand, then at the large furry pendant around her neck, and sighed deeply.

What kind of luck was this? Chu Tianbao, who looked like he could drink the entire sea, was actually drunk after one cup.

...

Bai Wutong said helplessly, “Tianbao, if you’re tired, go to the carriage to sleep.”

Chu Tianbao shook his head but was still unwilling to leave her. “No, Tianbao wants to be with my wife!” He suddenly raised his head and roared into the night sky, “Be with my wife—!!!”

“…”

It startled a group of sparrows. Bai Wutong did not need to look to guess the surprise on everyone’s faces.

Chu Tianbao didn’t get enough of screaming and wanted to scream again. Bai Wutong was so angry that her mind wasn’t functioning anymore as she bit his face.

Chu Tianbao was stunned and asked in confusion, “Wife, are you a dog?” He even stared at her with a strange gaze.

Bai Wutong’s eyebrows twitched. She bit down slightly harder and swore that if she gave him another sip of wine, she would be a dog.
