After Becoming the Villain Mother-in-Law, I Launch My Redemption Arc Chapter 305: Not Shirking the Debt, Just Truly Broke
ng Yao handed the letter to Zhao Ting.
Zhao Ting quickly skimd through it and said, "When we reach Le’an, I’ll go out of the pass with you."
ng Yao nodded.
Her intention was indeed to go out of the pass.
Originally, it was to investigate her biological parents’ affairs, but now there’s an additional matter.
"There are several nomadic tribe settlents outside the pass, and technically, Gelle is also a nomadic tribe," said Zhao Ting.
"So Xiao Shu might also be with the Gelle tribe?" ng Yao asked.
Zhao Ting shook his head, "Probably not. Gelle is now a vassal of our Zhou Country. Over the years, under Zhou Country’s influence, they have beco semi-nomadic."
After saying this, Zhao Ting explained to ng Yao —
Other nomadic tribes migrate with the seasonal changes, but Gelle now has a fixed tribal area. So, if it was soone encountered in the Gelle tribe, the letter would likely ntion it.
If it’s not ntioned, it ans he was encountered during migration.
Now, whether they are still at the original location is uncertain.
ng Yao seed deep in thought after hearing this.
"Don’t worry, we’ll definitely find the person," Zhao Ting said.
He has contacts in Le’an, and by sending them out together, they’ll find the person.
Besides, he originally intended to visit various nomadic tribes.
The Emperor happily let him leave the Capital City with Ayau not because he was persistent and shaless.
Nor was it because he was moved by his feelings for Ayau.
It’s purely because he wants the other nomadic tribes to submit to Zhou Country.
This task is now assigned to him.
Therefore, finding Zhao Xiaoshu is sort of a personal favor disguised as official business.
"Whoa—" Zhao Ting tightened the reins, the horse raised its front hooves high, finally stopping the carriage.
He looked cautiously at the person who almost got run over, but there was no dangerous aura around, the place was quite open, with no hiding spots.
ng Yao rubbed her forehead which hurt from the collision, Zhao Ting’s driving skills were vastly inferior compared to Dajiang and Dahe.
If she hadn’t reacted quickly by supporting herself with her hands, she would have surely been knocked unconscious.
"What’s the matter?" ng Yao leaned out and asked.
"Soone’s in the middle of the road," Zhao Ting replied.
ng Yao looked in the direction he pointed, there was a person lying in the middle of the road.
In this desolate mountain wilderness, they definitely weren’t faking an accident.
If they were faking it, they wouldn’t still be lying motionless on the road.
ng Yao jumped off the carriage, and Zhao Ting hurriedly followed, staying protectively in front of ng Yao.
"Don’t worry, the person is unconscious," ng Yao squatted down and turned the person over.
This mask looked sowhat familiar.
After removing the mask, though half of the face was blood-ridden, ng Yao still recognized the person.
"Quickly, get her onto the carriage."
Though ng Yao didn’t know why Bai Su was here, she knew that if she didn’t help her, the person would die.
"The lip color suggests poisoning, right?" Zhao Ting said while moving the person.
Although he wasn’t very familiar with Bai Su, he had heard her confidently say that she was immune to all poisons.
It was said to be connected to her Lifebound Gu.
Now it seed like boasting.
"I know very little about poisons," ng Yao said. "All I can do now is use needles to protect her heart ridian. Can you detoxify her?"
"Other than feeding her the Detoxification Pill, I can’t do much else. Her poison might be from Southern Border," Zhao Ting said.
Gu Poison?
ng Yao frowned. Although she had read the dical books Bai Su gave her, their dical skills mostly required cooperation with Poisonous Insects, so she wasn’t proficient.
"Don’t worry too much. From her facial injuries, it seems she wasn’t just poisoned now but has been for so ti, yet it hasn’t claid her life. Her body must be resisting the poison. Didn’t she say she was immune to poison?" Zhao Ting said.
ng Yao carefully checked Bai Su’s pulse again, indeed, though the pulse was weak, it was resilient.
ng Yao fed her the Detoxification Pill, then wet a cloth and simply treated her wounds.
Yes, aside from the facial injuries, Bai Su also had quite a few wounds on her body.
Zhao Ting continued driving.
ng Yao stared at Bai Su’s facial wounds, feeling a tingle all over.
After wiping away the blood, she clearly saw tiny insects squirming on Bai Su’s face.
She didn’t rashly remove those insects; Bai Su was different from others, the insects on her body were likely Poisonous Insects.
And upon closer inspection, the wounds on her face showed signs of improvent.
These insects should be playing a role.
ng Yao breathed a sigh of relief, from this it seed Bai Su should be able to escape danger.
Just unsure whom she encountered, to be left in such a sorry state.
An hour later, perhaps due to the Detoxification Pill from Zhao Ting, Bai Su surprisingly woke up.
ng Yao handed her the water sack, "Drink so water first."
Bai Su took the water sack and drank it in big gulps, the burned throat being soothed, feeling much more comfortable.
"I’m still alive." Bai Su’s first words upon opening her mouth.
Perhaps having not spoken for a long ti, her voice was sowhat hoarse.
"Sister ng, did you save ?"
"Found you on the road, didn’t do much, just simply treated your wounds and fed you a Detoxification Pill, but unsure if it worked for you," ng Yao said, "How did you end up like this, so miserable?"
"I’m very hungry, do you have any food?" Bai Su asked.
ng Yao took out a packet of snacks, "Got so snacks."
Bai Su alternated between the snacks and water, and before long, the snack packet was empty, clearly very hungry.
Full and quenched, Bai Su comfortably leaned against the carriage wall, "Being alive feels great."
"That Detoxification Pill is great too."
If it weren’t for the Detoxification Pill, she wouldn’t have woken up so quickly.
Though the Gu Poison this ti wasn’t deadly, relying only on Little White, the detoxification process was a bit slow, and she might have starved before the poison was cleared.
Lucky indeed.
The Great Witch didn’t deceive her, good deeds are rewarded.
Having helped Sister ng before, this ti Sister ng ca to save her life.
"I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. Sister ng, I’ll offer myself to you in gratitude," Bai Su sincerely said.
Driving, Zhao Ting clearly heard this sentence.
Before ng Yao could respond, he interjected, "The Detoxification Pill was given by , saving you was just a convenience, no need to be so ceremonious. Even if it’s cats or dogs, we wouldn’t ignore them when we co across them."
Offering oneself? No need!
A young girl, neither he nor Ayau needed it.
"Aren’t Central Plains people all like this? In tea houses and storybooks, those saved usually say that," Bai Su said.
"You ntioned it’s stories and novels. In reality, it’s not like that. It’s not ’no way to repay’; my Detoxification Pill has its fixed price, you can repay the life-saving grace with silver," Zhao Ting replied.
"Silver?" Bai Su awkwardly touched her sleeve pocket, "I really don’t have any silver."
She wasn’t trying to dodge paynt; she genuinely didn’t have it.
