Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 177 Common People Like Money

Zhao Yunrong couldn't help but interrupt Xiao Guoer's endless chatter.

"What reward do you want?"

Xiao Guoer's words were interrupted by the man's plain words, but she didn't care at all, nor did she care that the man was indifferent to her care. She didn't show the slightest touch of emotion, but instead a layer of joy that was eager to try appeared on her face.

"I am a common man. If it is convenient for you, Your Majesty, please give me some gold and silver as a reward!"

The man in front of him was the first one who asked him for gold and silver so bluntly, but the strange thing was that at this moment Zhao Yunrong did not think of him as an unsightly, greedy and mercenary villain as he did before. Instead, he thought he was very frank and cute.

I couldn't help asking, "Are you short of money?"

Seeing that he seemed to agree, Xiao Guoer said with a smile, "I like money."

Zhao Yunrong smiled unconsciously when he heard this. He did not hide his feelings or make excuses such as his sick mother needed money. He was generous and straightforward, which was rare. He was a hundred times better than those who only sought fame and reputation on the surface but were greedy for money behind the scenes.

However, what he didn't understand was that the Tang family was the number one merchant in Li Dynasty. Given his relationship with Tang Jingchen, even if he liked money, why would he think of other ways?

"Okay, when we return to Shangjing City, I will reward you handsomely."

Xiao Guoer didn't feel comfortable asking how much "重重" was exactly, and she was already very happy to get a positive answer.

Immediately a brilliant smile bloomed on her face, and even her eyes were curved like two crescent moons, so cute.

"Your Majesty, are you thirsty? I will get you some water."

After getting the promise, Xiao Guoer no longer minded running back and forth to serve others. She completely regarded the Eighth Prince as her boss who paid her a high salary. Since she took his money, it was only natural for her to work hard and contribute her labor!

It was really inconvenient without a container for water. Xiao Guoer still used a huge leaf to collect some water from the stream. In fact, she thought that the water must not be very clean, but now she had no tools to heat the water to boil, so she could only make do with it. Fortunately, they did not have diarrhea or other discomfort symptoms after drinking it.

The two of them ate some fruit in the carriage, which was considered breakfast.

Zhao Yunrong was injured, and although the condition was under control for the time being, he was still weak. The two had to rest in the cave for half a day.

For lunch, the two of them still had grilled fish, and the task of catching fish was naturally completed by the Eighth Prince.

Zhao Yunrong originally didn't take such a trivial matter as catching fish seriously, and secretly felt that Xiao Guo'er couldn't even catch a fish, and her skills were too poor.

However, when he casually stabbed a fish with a sharpened stick, he heard the boy burst into cheers of joy, "Wow! Your Majesty is so powerful!"

Zhao Yunrong remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he was very pleased with the praise. Without saying a word, he shot the wooden stick into the stream again.

Hearing the expected voices of praise filled with amazement, the usually solemn and reserved Eighth Prince actually felt a little secretly delighted in his heart because of this little thing that he had scoffed at.

Two fish, a filling lunch for two people.

After lunch, the Eighth Prince made a decision that the two of them should no longer stay in the cave waiting for rescue, but should try to walk out of the woods.

They did not take with them all the things that had been unloaded from the carriage yesterday; there were too many of them, and taking them all would undoubtedly be a burden.

Xiao Guoer picked out a few things that she thought were more important, tied them around her body with a package, and the two of them walked forward.

The woods in this valley were extremely quiet and sparsely populated, with not even a single hunter. In some places, the weeds grew extremely lush and alarmingly tall, making it very difficult for two people to walk through them.

Xiao Guoer followed closely in the footsteps of the Eighth Prince, trudging with difficulty through the dense and tall grass.

Although the Eighth Prince cleared the way ahead, Xiao Guoer's back of her hand was still inevitably scratched by the sharp grass leaves during the journey, and the stinging feeling made her frown.

She clenched her teeth, endured the pain, and didn't utter a word of complaint.

After all, it was already so difficult for her to follow behind, so the Eighth Prince who was leading the way in front must have been scratched more seriously.

He was a prince and seriously injured, but he still walked in front of her without hesitation and cleared the way for her.

He has no complaints at all, so how can I have the nerve to complain?

Xiao Guoer tried to keep his hands tucked into his sleeves, trying to reduce the possibility of being scratched by weeds.

She had never seen grass like this before. It was so tall and dense, and the edges of its leaves were so hard.

I don’t know how long it will take to get out of this dense grass.

Xiao Guoer looked up ahead. The endless woods and grass made her feel a little discouraged.

Wow, what kind of difficulty mode is this? Survival in the wilderness?

Just as she was looking up into the distance and sighing in her heart, she was not paying attention and stepped into a small sunken hole.

The feeling of being off balance caused her to let out a cry of surprise from her throat, and her body fell forward involuntarily.

In panic, she instinctively wanted to stretch out her hands and grab anything she could get her hands on, hoping to avoid falling.

Unfortunately, things went against her wishes. After she heard a "hiss" sound, she fell face down on a patch of grass.

It's so unlucky that I opened the door for bad luck. I'm so unlucky!

Xiao Guo'er lay on the ground with tears in her eyes. When she was about to get up and brush off the dust on her body, she suddenly found a small piece of white fabric in the palm of her hand.

Where did this come from?

Xiao Guoer blinked her eyes, full of confusion. She seemed to suddenly realize something, her movements became slow and stiff, she slowly raised her head and looked forward, and saw that the man walking not far ahead had also stopped.

The man was tall and straight, and even from behind, he carried an indescribable majesty. However, at this moment, his clothes seemed a little askew, and his collar was slightly open, exposing a piece of honey-colored skin from his neck to his shoulders.
