Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1168: Chapter 836: Spying on the Big-Bellied Woman Bathing?

”Hey! You little melon baby, where’s that big-bellied woman from your house? How come it’s just you people here, haven’t seen your big-bellied woman come out?”

The crowd saw the direction the old beggar was pointing and then heard his remark, and their expressions instantly became quite amusing.

Little melon baby? Elder Guo?

Alright then...

Gu Changsheng was speechless for a moment. Compared to this old beggar with his hair and beard all grayed, Elder Guo was actually quite young. Being called a little melon baby by this old beggar wasn’t entirely unreasonable.

Upon hearing the old beggar’s words, Elder Guo’s face turned a shade of blue and then white. He finally found his voice and said, ”How do you know my daughter-in-law is pregnant? You wine thief!”

The old beggar, upon hearing this, rolled his old eyes and patted his chest with some wine vapor, confidently saying, ”How do I know? Last time I came looking for wine, I happened to see your big-bellied woman taking a bath... hic... that belly... hic... it’s big...”

”Boom!”

As soon as the old beggar finished speaking, the surroundings exploded into chaos.

The atmosphere turned extremely bizarre in an instant.

”Pfft!” Gu Changsheng had an immediate reaction and burst out laughing.

Damn! This isn’t just a wine thief; he’s a shameless old flower-picker, huh?

At such an old age, he’s still peeping on someone bathing! This... this... Gu Changsheng was a bit disoriented for a moment...

What should she say?

Say that the old beggar’s spirit is willing, even at this age?

Obviously, that would be untimely, because the anger from the Guo family trio was almost tangible, and they had already pulled out their weapons, ready to charge forward and tear that brazen old beggar to pieces...

”You! You shameless old man! How dare you! How dare you!” Guo Luo was about to go mad with anger—this wine thief dared to spy on his wife bathing! Anyone would go crazy!

Elder Guo and Guo Xianer were also visibly furious, while the crowd around them didn’t know what to do for a moment.

They seemed to have overheard some private matters of the Guo family. Cough, cough, the thought of Beauty Sai being peeped on while bathing by such an impossibly old guy, even as itinerant world’s people of Wind Cloud Mountain Villa who understood Beauty Sai’s status, their faces turned bemusedly incredulous.

”What? What’s the big deal? So what if I took a glance while she was bathing? What’s the big deal?” The old beggar continued to yell dismissively, his voice loud enough to ensure that everyone present could hear clearly.

”You’re still talking! You’re still talking!” Guo Luo, unable to bear it, raised his two large hammers and swung them at the old beggar.

Upon seeing this, Gu Changsheng’s heart tightened. She wanted to step forward, but Zhou Mu pulled her back again.

”Hey! What is this? I just drank some of your family’s wine, and you really want to fight me?” Just when everyone thought Guo Luo’s blow would smash the old beggar to pieces, the beggar’s exclamation sounded again.

The crowd, who had shut their eyes in squeamish anticipation, opened them disbelievingly, only to see the old beggar awkwardly collapse to the ground.

”Stealing wine is one thing, but you dared to spy on my wife bathing! I’ll beat you to death, pluck out your eyeballs, and soak them in wine!” Guo Luo was truly frantic, swinging another hammer, and this one carried even more power, whistling through the air.

”Hey! You little melon baby, so that’s your wife? No big deal. In my eyes, she’s just a lump of flesh, just a lump of flesh with a bit of a belly!” The old beggar yelled as he rolled on the ground, seemingly dodging Guo Luo’s blow by coincidence, ”Hic... you kid have guts, it’s been a cycle of sixty years since anyone dared to challenge me... hic... sure enough, other people’s wives aren’t to be looked at... hic...”

Standing at the back, Gu Changsheng heard the old man’s words, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

A lump of flesh?

People are just a lump of flesh?

That phrase sounded awfully familiar...

”Damn you, I’ll kill you!” Guo Luo roared in anger, swinging his hammer.

”Hey! You little melon baby! Watch your mouth! Look at you, like a dog cornered. Did I come too late and the big-bellied one is already dead?” The old beggar asked nonchalantly, again skillfully dodging with a roll.

Upon hearing the old beggar’s words, a sharp glint flashed in Gu Changsheng’s eyes.

”You! You suicidal fool, you’re actually cursing my wife! I’ll fight you!” Guo Luo, hearing this, became even more frenzied, his hair almost standing on end, his moves becoming increasingly vicious.

”Hey! Get back, old man!” The old beggar rolling on the ground got tired of rolling around. He slid backward on the ground as if he were light as a feather, moving a full ten feet away, and stood up leisurely, patting the dust off his body while belching.

With his target gone, Guo Luo was momentarily stunned. He was about to step forward again when the old beggar raised a hand to stop him. ”Burp... I’m not going to mess with you little melon babies anymore. I’ve never eaten a free meal in my life...”

Hearing this, everyone around rolled their eyes.

You don’t eat free meals, so you stole white liquor instead...

”I altogether stole six jars of liquor from your house. Two jars of liquor for one life; I’ll repay you with three lives... burp... as compensation... hic... bring out your big-bellied woman, let me take a look...”

”So you didn’t just steal three or four times, you actually stole six times!” Elder Guo, who was infuriated on the side, once again caught the word liquor.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng shook his head. Elder Guo truly is a wine enthusiast; the point isn’t the liquor, it’s the fact that two jars are worth a life, isn’t it?

Fortunately, there was someone smart at the scene, Guo Xianer. Guo Xianer stopped her father and brother, stepped forward with a puzzled look, and questioned doubtfully. ”You thieving old rascal, what do you mean? Could it be you are skilled in women’s affairs?”

”Exactly! So bring out the big-bellied woman for me to take a look! Burp...” The old beggar belched out again, as if it was a matter of course.

”Don’t even think about it!” Upon hearing this, and thinking that the old guy had not only peeked at his wife bathing but was still insisting on seeing her, Guo Luo refused outright, and waved his meteor hammer menacingly, speaking furiously.

”Yeah, don’t even think about it! Let me tell you, our Guo Family doesn’t need you, you thieving old rascal! We’ve already invited a descendant from the Medicine King Valley to assist with my sister-in-law’s childbirth! We don’t need you!” Guo Xianer immediately echoed with disdain upon hearing her brother’s words.

She had received a message from her brother in Muyang City, saying that a descendant of the Medicine King Valley had come to assist with the childbirth for her sister-in-law and needed their help, which is why she rushed over in such a hurry.

”Pfft!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but laugh, turning his head with an inexplicable expression to look at Guo Luo.

Damn, Medicine King Valley? What the hell is that? How did she become a descendant of the Medicine King Valley?

Thinking about it, it made sense; her identity wasn’t clear even to the servants at the Guo Residence, in case the message was wrong. Guo Luo’s vagueness with finding an excuse was indeed the right move!

Gu Changsheng wasn’t upset about it, but the old beggar wasn’t pleased. Hearing Guo Xianer’s words, the old beggar slapped his thigh and got furious, ”Descendant of the Medicine King Valley? Who? Who’s pretending to be my disciple with fake credentials? I’ve been a one-man show my whole life, where did a descendant come out from? Who is it? Which mule, which horse? Bring it out for me!”

”Pfft!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but laugh out loud again!

Zhou Mu’s expression also changed.

Naturally, the expressions on the faces of the father and son from the Guo Family changed into something extremely complex, remarkably amusing. Guo Luo was confusedly looking at the raging old beggar in front of him, feeling the scrutinizing gazes from Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, he involuntarily shrank his body.

”Brother, did I say something wrong? Could the ’descendant’ from the Medicine King Valley we invited be a fake?” Guo Xianer was even more flustered. She timidly looked back at her brother, asking uneasily.

”...” Guo Luo’s face twitched, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

What could he say? What should he say?

The supposed descendant from the Medicine King Valley at home, of course, was fake!

That was just a misunderstanding, wasn’t it? It was just that the identity of the Southern Emperor couldn’t be revealed; he was afraid something might go wrong with the carrier pigeon, so he used this excuse. But now...

”Exactly which unimportant fool is pretending to be my disciple? I have no descendants! The Medicine King Valley lineage, in my generation, is only me as the living person, where did this supposed descendant come from? Pull out the fake immortal that’s pretending to be my disciple for me, how dare they, don’t they have a death wish?” The old beggar fumed and cursed, making the entire martial arts training ground fall silent.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng suddenly understood everything.

Well!

This fake immortal had indeed met a true one here, caught red-handed!

The father and son of the Guo family exchanged glances, a bitter smile rising on their faces, unsure of how to respond as they looked at the enraged old beggar in front of them.

They couldn’t reveal the Southern Emperor, could they?

That wouldn’t seem appropriate...

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile wryly. It certainly wouldn’t feel fair or reasonable for her to step up and take the blame for being the fake immortal...

”There are countless quacks in this world, but pretending to be a descendant of the Medicine King Valley truly deserves severe punishment. How could those quacks ever catch my eyes? I’ve been searching for a whole cycle of sixty years, but haven’t found a disciple with the right potential. I heard there’s a female doctor, named Gu Changsheng, whose medical skills are decent, so I thought about coming out to find her...”
