Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 172 8 The Prince's Labor Force

Xiao Guoer first went to the tattered carriage, rummaged through the mess, and after a while, took out a velvet blanket. She then used a clean cloth to wrap up the snacks and fruits in the carriage.

She wanted to take some other items, but her hands were already full.

So she set her sights on the man with empty hands.

Although he was a prince and had never done the job of carrying things, wasn't this a special situation? He shouldn't be angry if he was asked to condescend to help carry something, right?

"Um... Your Majesty, could you please hold this tiger skin?"

There was a tiger skin as a cushion on the seat of the Eighth Prince's carriage. The skin was soft and thick. Xiao Guoer thought that if they couldn't wait for the pick-up person, they might be able to use it to keep warm at night.

Zhao Yunrong looked at the tiger skin handed to him, and then saw the pile of things she was about to take away. After a moment of silence, he took it with his uninjured hand.

Once there is a first, there will be a second. Xiao Guoer placed two more packages on the tiger skin that the Eighth Prince was holding.

"Oh, Your Majesty, there is also this. If the reinforcements are delayed, these will be useful! Don't you think so?"

Although his tone was one of seeking consent, his actions showed that he did not hesitate to use the Eighth Prince as a laborer to carry the items.

Xiao Guoer continued to search for other things in the carriage. She wanted to take away as many useful supplies as possible in case of emergency.

Just as she was thinking about how to take more things away more efficiently, the impatient and gloomy voice of the Eighth Prince sounded: "Are you going to move the entire carriage?"

Xiao Guoer then smiled awkwardly and stopped packing.

"Aren't I afraid that Your Highness will be wronged? Am I trying my best to make Your Highness feel more comfortable?" Xiao Guoer looked at the prince with a flattering smile on her face.

After she finished speaking, she saw the prince's eyes still glancing at her coldly. Xiao Guo'er suddenly said with an idea, "The prince's arm is injured. Take less things and I will take more. Don't let the prince get tired."

Zhao Yunrong sneered at the boy's attempt to cover up, but he did not expose him. He just calmly ordered, "There is medicine for treating external injuries in the cabinet on the carriage. Go find it."

Hearing this, Xiao Guoer turned around and started searching in the broken-down carriage again.

After some searching, she finally found the medicine.

Then, Xiao Guoer simply treated the two serious wounds on the Eighth Prince's body.

After finishing these things, Xiao Guoer carried the large and small packages on her back and in her arms and walked towards the cave she had found earlier.

Zhao Yunrong's injuries were not light. He sat on the tiger skin on the ground, closed his eyes slightly, adjusted his breathing, and regulated his qi and breath, trying to calm his disordered internal energy.

Seeing that he and the old monk seemed to be in meditation, Xiao Guoer did not bother him. She turned and walked out of the cave, her eyes falling on the valley and dense woods in the distance.

Just now, she took a general look at the woods in the valley. The endless lush vegetation made her feel confused.

She didn't know which direction to go to get out of the valley. She was struggling with whether she should try to find the exit or wait for help.

Just like what the Eighth Prince said, maybe what will arrive in the end is not reinforcements, but a group of vicious assassins.

However, his current physical condition obviously cannot withstand the pain of a long journey. The best way may be to wait until he recovers a little and has a certain fighting capacity, and then the two of them can go together to find a way out.

After deciding on the general direction, she began to think about other issues.

There was not much food in the carriage, only a plate of desserts and fruits, which were snacks. If they were used to fill their stomachs, the two of them would have finished them all in one meal.

But in this situation, they don't know how long they will stay in this deserted place, nor do they know when they can escape or be rescued. Considering the current situation, the food that can be stored should be saved for more urgent needs.

There seemed to be fish in the stream she had just found. Why not catch two fish there and roast them for their dinner?

With this idea in mind, she left the Eighth Prince meditating alone in the cave and went to the stream herself.

Zhao Yunrong slowly opened his eyes and stared at Xiao Guoer's departing back. After a moment, he closed his eyes again and concentrated on regulating the internal strength in his body.

Half an hour later, Xiao Guoer walked barefoot on the pebbles in the water, staring at the fish in the stream swimming with their tails swinging, and once again stabbed the water with the wooden stick in her hand that was sharpened like a dagger.

Alas, I still missed!

This is the result of her 108th effort!

Why can't she spear the fish? Is she such a loser? Can't she even catch a fish? Are the fish here too cunning or has she been misled by the TV series in the past? When I watched TV series in the past, didn't the people in the TV series easily spear a fish? Why can't she do that?

Or you might as well give up eating fish and go back to have some snacks. Now is the time when we really need it.

Xiao Guoer was very discouraged after getting nothing, and prepared to go ashore and return to the cave.

She threw the stick in her hand onto the shore and was about to climb up using her hands and feet, but she saw the stick she had just thrown being picked up by a broad and powerful hand.

She couldn't help but stop climbing and looked in the direction of the wooden stick. She saw that the stick was like a swift lightning, with swift and fierce force, and it pierced straight into the place not far behind her.

It just happened to hit a fat fish!
