Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1167: Chapter 835: This Master Really Deserves a Beating!

”Wine thief! You old scoundrel, at your age, you’re still stealing wine! If you did it once, fine, but repeatedly? What do you mean by this? Do you think the Huadiao Wine of our Guo Family is cheap roadside swill, for you to steal at will?” Guo Xianer rolled up her sleeves high, looking at the scruffy old man surrounded in the center. She wanted to step forward, but was held back by the people from the Itinerant World beside her.

”Junior Sister Guo, don’t get angry. The code of the Itinerant World demands we do not bully the elderly and weak.” A young man with a gentle appearance, standing next to Guo Xianer, softly advised.

”But he’s a wine thief! My father and I have caught him two or three times, only seeing his back. This time, we’ve finally caught him red-handed. How can we not give him a lesson?” Hearing this, Guo Xianer spoke in a huff, but eventually did not break free from the young man’s grip to step forward.

”Hey! Let’s get things straight, it wasn’t you who caught me red-handed, it was I who came out to let you catch me. Have you ever seen a wine thief wandering leisurely in the courtyard to let you catch him?”

A hoarse voice rang out from the center of the crowd.

Gu Changsheng hadn’t even approached yet, but upon hearing this, she almost burst out laughing.

Alright, if this wine thief is truly a martial arts expert as the evildoer in her house said, then he really is bold because of his skills, and quite arrogant!

”You still dare to deny it! The wine jar from my house is still in your arms, caught with both person and stolen goods, and you still dare to deny it!” Hearing this, Guo Xianer got even angrier and yelled back even louder, ”Senior Brother He, let me go. Today I must give this wine thief a beating to vent my anger.”

”Hold on! Hold on!”

Finally, two anxious figures rushed over, pushing their way through the crowd faster than Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu.

The newcomers were the Father and Son of the Guo Family.

With them leading the way, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu followed behind them and quickly reached the front. When the four little dumplings saw them coming, they immediately gathered in front of them, each staring wide-eyed at the scene within the field.

Under the faint moonlight, even though the Guo Family was brightly lit, Gu Changsheng finally got a clear look at the wine thief.

Alright, this is a ragged, utterly tattered old beggar, with hair and beard grizzled, even adorned with a few straws. Who knows how this old beggar managed to put on such a professional facade!

”Is this the master you were talking about?” Gu Changsheng looked at the old beggar wine thief and twitched at the corner of her mouth, leaning towards Zhou Mu, whispering in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Zhou Mu imperceptibly nodded in response.

Gu Changsheng furrowed her brows slightly, a wisp of Inner Strength emanating from her, undetectable by others, silently probing towards the old beggar.

”Old man, it’s quite unkind of you to behave this way. You have visited our residence once or twice, and seeing your age, we let it slide, but how can you keep coming time and time again? Is it because you think that the Guo Family is devoid of people?” Elder Guo, seeing this old beggar, was equally exasperated, his face sinking as he spoke.

To him, wine is life; stealing his wine is like taking his life. This wine thief had brushed past him three times; seeing that the fellow was older than himself, he hadn’t pursued it. Little did he expect that with the house full of guests, this fellow would show up once again uninvited to pay a visit!

”Heh! My visiting your family is an honor for you. If it were some other house, they might not even get me to come, even if they wanted to!” The old beggar, with a face stained with dirt, spoke disdainfully from the center, raising the wine jar in his arms defiantly, taking a sip, and smacking his lips, ”Good wine! Good Huadiao Wine! Quite potent!”

”You!” Elder Guo was infuriated by the old beggar, ”Do you mean to say that you come to my residence to steal wine and we should be grateful for it?”

”Naturally! My palate is very particular!” The old beggar nodded in a matter-of-fact manner, speaking earnestly.

”You!” Elder Guo was choked by the words, not knowing whether to put his hand down or to strike, but hesitated to lay hands on such an aged man, even if he was a wine thief.

As the standoff continued between the two sides, the old beggar in the field, who was nonchalantly and flamboyantly drinking, suddenly paused, his grizzled brows furrowing as he sharply glanced in Gu Changsheng’s direction.

As his gaze swept over, Gu Changsheng swiftly retracted her Inner Strength, feeling a twinge of surprise in her heart.

”Haha! Look at you all, like red-eyed chickens, just because I drank a few of your wine jars, you surround me shouting for murder?” The old beggar withdrew his gaze, looking unconcerned at the people gathered before him, his voice infinitely arrogant.

”It’s easy for you to stand there and talk, when the wine isn’t yours!” Guo Luo, unable to take it anymore, shouted loudly before his father even had a chance to speak.

”What is yours is mine, isn’t it? I told you, my drinking your wine is your fortune! People should cherish their fortune!”

Hearing the old beggar’s words, Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched several times involuntarily, and she whispered to Zhou Mu, ”Alright, this master really needs a beating!”

This fellow isn’t just in need of a beating, he’s desperately in need of a beating!

Which thief, when caught, still stands there so justifiably?

Gu Changsheng’s interest was sparked, her eyes intensely focused on the old beggar in the field. She wanted to see exactly which spiritual figure this old beggar was!

Anyway, someone who can boldly appear before them, still being such a godly expert, definitely wasn’t sent by those secretly observing them, of this, Gu Changsheng was quite sure, because this arrogant old beggar bore no malice.

”You! You’re justifying it now! No matter what you say today, you have to leave the wine jar in your arms, the Huadiao Wine of the Guo Family can be gifted, can be sold, but can’t continue being stolen by a scoundrel like you!” Elder Guo, looking at the wine thief merrily drinking in front of them, shouted angrily.

Too arrogant!

Truly too arrogant!

This wine thief, acting so presumptuously and audacious, even sells the stolen goods right in front of them!

That is our Guo Family’s wine!

”Hey! Once it’s in my hands, it’s mine! How could a duck that has reached my mouth fly away?” The old beggar smirked after hearing the words, then, under everyone’s gaze, he raised the wine jar to his neck and poured the wine down his throat!

The fragrance of the Huadiao Wine immediately filled the entire martial arts training ground with his actions!

Watching the old beggar drink with great pleasure and then wipe his mouth and burp loudly a few times, Elder Guo was so angry that his whole body started trembling!

He deserves a beating!

This wine thief truly deserves a beating!

Even the Itinerant World’s people from Wind Cloud Mountain Villa around couldn’t stand it and felt like taking action!

”So satisfying! Really too satisfying! Burp! Burp!” The old beggar’s figure became a bit unsteady after downing half a jar of good wine, his old eyes carrying a hint of drunkenness, but his face was so dirty you couldn’t see the flush from the alcohol.

”You! You...” Elder Guo pointed at the old beggar standing in the arena, trembling all over with anger.

”Excessive! Really too excessive!”

”This wine-stealing old thief is truly too excessive!”

”...”

The Itinerant World’s people around expressed their indignation at this.

The atmosphere instantly became tense as if a fight might break out at any moment.

Gu Changsheng saw this and couldn’t help but step forward, wanting to speak up and stop it, but was held back by Zhou Mu, and turned to look at Zhou Mu in confusion, raising her eyebrows.

”Watch and wait,” Zhou Mu shook his head slightly at her, speaking softly.

Gu Changsheng blinked and withdrew her foot that had stepped out, well, this old wine-stealing beggar is a master, she was just afraid that if a fight really breaks out, the Guo Family would suffer a loss.

”Mother, are all thieves so arrogant?” the little bun in front of Gu Changsheng raised his little head and asked with a face full of bafflement.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng lifted her hand to rub his little head and replied with a twitch of her lips, ”No, thieves are generally not this arrogant, it’s just that this thief is not ordinary!”

”Oh...” The little bun nodded as if he understood and continued to watch the spectacle.

Faced with the denunciations all around, the old beggar in the arena didn’t care at all, continuing to burp as if he were an outsider, casually tossing the wine jar aside.

”Bang!” The sound of the wine jar shattering was particularly loud in the bustling martial arts training ground.

The indignant crowd paused for a moment, and after a brief silence, it seemed like the place had exploded.

”You old beggar, you’re too arrogant!”

”We respect your age, but you are so arrogant and ungrateful!”

”Beat him up! Beat him up!”

”...”

A group of people immediately gathered around the old beggar, fists clenched, ready to start a fight!

”Here goes, about to get into a brawl!” Gu Changsheng muttered to herself in dismay watching the scene unfold.

Alright, she was wrong, this old beggar isn’t just asking for a beating, he’s outright asking for trouble!

You say you stole the wine and flaunted it in front of people and that would have been enough, but to smash someone else’s wine jar right in front of them, isn’t that just adding fuel to the fire?

Seeing the fight on the verge of breaking out, Gu Changsheng was hesitating on whether to intervene, to stop the Father and Son of the Guo Family and those Itinerant World’s people from getting humiliated, when in front, there came a shout of feigned strength and real weakness.

”Hey! You bunch of fools are really too noisy!”

Hearing this shout, Gu Changsheng didn’t need to think to know it must be the old beggar!

Seeing him drunk yet full of energy, he’s really showing off his drunken antics!

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu exchanged a look, both shaking their heads helplessly.

The group of people in front were obviously taken aback by the old beggar’s shout.

The old beggar nonchalantly smoothed his unkempt, white beard, plucking out a straw and throwing it away angrily, then pointed at the somewhat dumbfounded Elder Guo, speaking with righteousness and a loud voice...
