When Zhou Gang heard her words, his face drastically changed: “Is there a way to save him?”
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Yes, but I need to use a few medicines. I have all the needed medicines except for the white flower snake gallbladder. This kind of snake is extremely venomous and uncommon. I don’t know where to look for it.”
Zhou Gang’s eyebrow immediately frowned when he heard those words: “The is white flower snake is in the forest. Last year, a brother in our camp was bitten by this snake. This snake is poisonous. In less than 3 minutes, this brother of ours died.”
Fu Zheng busily said: “This snake is not only highly toxic but also very fierce. It will attack anyone that it sees. You must not take the risk. You don’t need to worry if I die. You shouldn’t involve yourself with us further.”
Bai Zhi said to Zhou Gang: “You can’t go either. Right now, the toxins in your body haven’t completely discharged yet. It’s not advisable to walk around. You also can’t use internal force. You need to stay calm and peaceful here. After the toxins dissolved itself, that’s only when you can use internal force.”Zhou Gang became anxious when he heard this: “How can that be? The poison in Fu Zheng’s body hasn’t detoxified yet, so how can I sit here calmly?”
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “Am I not here? Leave the white flower snake to me. I will come here with the antidote 3 days later, you don’t need to worry.”
After saying those words, she took out a few large pieces of beef jerky from the cloth bag. She stuffed this food into the cloth bag when she left home. She planned to take it out when needed. She didn’t eat it because she thought it will come in handy.
“There is nothing that can be taken out in the kitchen camp. I made this beef jerky. Eat it when you feel hungry. This is a water pouch.” She took the water pouch on her waist and handed it over to them.
Zhou Gang took the things she handed but said: “Miss Bai, don’t go and look for the white flower snake yourself. That snake is very fierce. If it bites you, your life will be over.”
Bai Zhi nodded her head and said: “I know, you can rest assured. I have a sense of proportion.” Then, she took out 2 tablets of an antipyretic drug from the cloth bag and handed them to Zhou Gang: “This is an antipyretic medicine. With his current condition, he will surely have a fever, give him one tablet per day.”
Zhou Gang nodded his head and sent Bai Zhi out. He watched her as she put the branches back outside, just like before.He even forgot that she was a girl, who had just turned 13.
From the gaps in the branches surrounding the cave, he watched her carrying a heavy burden and leaving step by step. When she walked away, she didn’t have this elegant posture of a young lady, but she showed strength and confidence from inside and out.
She was a special girl. Is that why Prince Jin was interested in her?
Zhou Gang turned around and asked Fu Zheng, who was lying on a pile of dead leaves: “Do you think Miss Bai is a good match to Prince Jin?”
Fu Zheng also smiled and said: “A perfect match!”
Zhou Gang thought the same, but he couldn’t help but sigh: “Although Miss Bai is good, she doesn’t have a good identity. I’m afraid the emperor will not allow her to be with Prince Jin.”
Fu Zheng was silent, he had the same worry.
Zhou Gang opened his mouth again and said: “Do you remember, when Prince Jin drank a few more glasses with us, he said that he had a fiancee.”
Fu Zheng nodded his head: “I remember, he said that he had never seen this so-called fiancee. The emperor and his master made this arrangement without his consent. He doesn’t know her name, appearance, nor her age.”
Zhou Gang said: “Since it was arranged by the emperor and Prince Jin’s master, she’s definitely suitable for Prince Jin. However, Prince Jin is missing for 3 years now, I don’t know if that girl married someone else.”
