Chapter 360: Not acclimatized
Noon.
Gu Chan's caravan had already gone a long way away, and the unconscious Zheng Shixian just woke up in the guest room of the inn.
"Ah... my teeth..."
The first moment he woke up, Zheng Shixian lay on the ground, wailing and screaming with a bruised face and nose.
The waiter was startled by his screams like a pig being slaughtered, and he quickly pushed the door open and ran in, helped him up and asked, "Uncle Zheng, how did you get beaten like this? Are you okay?"
"Hurry, hurry up and tell the Zheng family to come see me." Zheng Shixian shouted without closing his mouth.
After hearing what was said, the waiter nodded quickly and helped him lie down on the bed. Then he left the post station quickly and went to Zhongyuan City to inform the Zheng family.
An hour later.
Two men from the Zheng family drove a carriage over and helped Zheng Shixian into it.
Zheng Shixian said while lying in the carriage, "Let's go to the Chenghuang Temple in front. I want to see if those five idiots are dead."
"Yes, sir." The two men responded in unison and immediately drove the carriage to the City Emperor Temple ahead.
The funny thing is that when they arrived at the Chenghuang Temple, they found that the five killers had already been frozen stiff in the pit, with only their last breath hanging on.
Zheng Shixian originally wanted to vent his anger on them, but when he saw that they were even more miserable than himself, he calmed down and ordered two of his men to pull them out of the pit, load them into a carriage, and take them back to Zhongyuan City with him for treatment.
"Fuchan... coat... one day... I will tear you into pieces..."
On the way back, Zheng Shixian lay in the carriage and cursed fiercely.
Because Gu Chan had pulled out his two front teeth, he spoke with a lisp and his words were unclear, which made the two men driving the carriage outside laugh so hard that they covered their mouths and almost laughed out loud.
At this moment, his hatred for Gu Chan had reached its peak, and he vowed to tear Gu Chan into pieces to relieve his hatred.
Time passed quickly, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, the Yao Duoduo caravan led by Gu Chan rushed along the official road towards Nancheng, and finally arrived at Nancheng in the afternoon of that day.
Along the way, Gu Chan's caravan naturally attracted the attention of passing caravans, horse caravans, escort teams and others. Everyone came forward to ask, and after learning that it was Gu Chan's caravan, they all expressed their respect to her.
Overall, Gu Chan's battle to recapture the border made her famous, and everyone in Tiancang Kingdom knew who she was.
This should have been a happy thing, but Gu Chan couldn't be happy at all.
People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. Before she came here, she had thought about hiding her identity along the way. But judging from the current situation, it might be difficult for her to hide her identity. After all, her height is there and is very iconic, so it would be difficult to hide it even if she wanted to.
But there are still things that make Gu Chan happy.
That's the weather here. The further south you go, the better the weather is. Now that the caravan has arrived in South City, it has stopped snowing, but there is a cold wind and the weather is a little cold.
In the carriage.
Ma Zheng took off his thick cotton jacket and wiped the sweat from his forehead, saying, "I didn't expect it to be so hot in the south! It's much warmer than Zhongyuan City and the border."
"Don't take it off, put it on quickly. You just arrived and you are not used to the dry climate here. If you catch a cold, you will be very uncomfortable." Gu Chan reminded in time.
Before she traveled through time, she also traveled to the south of that world. Because she had just arrived and was not used to the climate there, she took off her clothes because she felt hot. As a result, once she caught a cold, she not only had a high fever, but also had vomiting and diarrhea, which was very uncomfortable.
So even though she was in a different world now, she was still experienced. Ma Zheng listened to Gu Chan and put on his cotton jacket obediently.
"vomit……"
Just as he put on his cotton jacket, bursts of vomiting sounds suddenly came from outside the carriage.
The convoy stopped immediately. Gu Chan got out of the carriage and looked up to see several people in the back, lying beside the carriage vomiting, their legs so weak that they could not even walk.
Cheng Hao and the other four who were walking in front all had red faces and rapid breathing. It was obvious that they were not used to the climate here and were just holding on.
Gu Chan quickly reached into the bag hanging on her waist, took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Ma Zheng, saying, "Go, give each of them a pill and let them drink an appropriate amount of water. Don't drink too much water."
"Yes, boss." Ma Zheng nodded in agreement.
Then he hurried over, distributed a pill to everyone, and instructed them as Gu Chan had said.
At this time, Cheng Hao and three others dismounted and walked in front of Gu Chan.
Cheng Hao was the first to say, "Boss, if this continues, I'm afraid we'll all fall ill on the road. Why don't we find a place to rest and wait until everyone feels better before leaving!"
"How far is it to South City?" Gu Chan asked, looking forward.
"It's estimated that there are still more than 20 miles to go. We probably won't be able to reach Nancheng before dark today." Cheng Hao said.
Gu Chan did not hesitate and gave the order decisively, "Okay, keep going forward and find the nearest inn to stay in first. We can continue our journey after everyone's symptoms of acclimatization have improved a little."
"By the way, let's find out in advance about the recent situation in South City, so that we don't go there without knowing anything and get into trouble easily." Yuan Ying reminded at the right time.
Gu Chan nodded without comment.
At this moment, she was very glad that she chose these four people at the beginning. They obviously had sufficient experience in the world. If she had chosen four novices, she would probably have a headache now.
Thinking of this, Gu Chan didn't say anything more. After everyone took the medicine, she got back into the carriage and ordered the team to move on.
After dark, the caravan finally arrived at an inn three miles ahead.
After getting out of the carriage, Gu Chan quickly ran to the shopkeeper to get a room ready, helped the sick person in to rest, and asked the shopkeeper to find a doctor nearby to prescribe medicine for them.
After more than an hour, everyone's symptoms of acclimatization gradually eased.
Gu Chan finally calmed down temporarily. She took Ma Zheng, Cheng Hao and the other three to the lobby on the first floor, ordered a table of good wine and delicious food, and sat down to enjoy it.
Ma Zheng said as he ate, "Boss, why are they so ill with the local climate, while the six of us are only a little uncomfortable, not as serious as them?"
"They are all ordinary people. They have never practiced physical skills and do not know how to use spiritual energy to protect their bodies. Of course, they are not as good as us. As for you! Stick to me every day. The spiritual energy overflowing from my body can protect you. Otherwise, you would have to lie down like them." Gu Chan explained.
Ma Zheng's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly moved closer to Gu Chan, almost sticking his whole body to her, for fear that he would lose her spiritual protection, so he lay down like everyone else.
"Hahaha……"
Cheng Hao and the other three laughed out loud and were having a lot of fun.
Just when they were laughing happily, a woman in green clothes and long robes, with a very outstanding appearance and a gloomy face, walked in angrily from the gate, leading two men in white robes.
