Portable Space: Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 123 – Prone to Kidney Deficiency

Long Yu lifted his head.

The effect of the numbing hempgrass given to him by Yan Xiaosi had passed.

The red rashes on his face had all disappeared without leaving any trace or scar. As a warrior, his skin was not inferior to a woman’s in the slightest. His face, with excellent features, smooth skin and delicate facial features, was now free from armor, casually dressed in a monotonous dark silk robe. His black hair, like blue ink, was half tied up, half scattered on his back, giving a somewhat graceful gentlemanly feeling.

“My function in that regard is very good, Murong. You should take care of yourself. Frequenting brothels can easily lead to kidney deficiency.”

Murong Qinjian twitched at the corner of his mouth.

“Long Yu, your mouth is not as beautiful as your face.”

He simply couldn’t understand how such a man, who was even more beautiful than a woman, was not only a demon king who killed without blinking, but also had a venomous tongue.

Long Yu frowned and ignored him, looking towards the door.

Long Yi was standing outside the east wing. Murong Qinjian’s words just now had been overheard, and he couldn’t help but feel cold sweat for Murong Qinjian.

This divine physician Murong was truly seeking death. The master least liked people discussing his appearance, but he insisted on doing so.

“Long Yi.”

Hearing his master calling him from the room, Long Yi quickly composed himself and walked inside.

“Master, what are your orders?”

A slender figure suddenly flashed through Long Yu’s mind.

Frowning, Long Yu asked, “Yao Jin has been gone for a while, has he returned to the county office?”

Long Yi was very curious, wondering what kind of person could make the master remember them so, to the point of sending Yao Jin personally to Shaoyao Village to find them.

“Master, Lord Yao has not yet returned.”

Although Long Yi was very curious, he dared not show it.

“Master, do you want me to go to Shaoyao Village?”

Long Yi was a good guard, thinking that the master cared so much for that person, he could personally go to Shaoyao Village and bring the person back as soon as possible to ease the master’s worries.

“There’s no need. If Yao Jin can’t bring that kid to the county office, his time as the county master of Xize County is over.”

Kid!

Hearing these words, Murong Qinjian and Long Yi exchanged a glance, their expressions identical – surprised.

“Long Yu, the person you sent Yao Jin to find, is actually a man?”

Murong Qinjian asked curiously. He had originally thought that the War King’s concern for that person must mean they were a woman full of charm.

“Long Yu, you wouldn’t really have a preference for men, would you?”

At this moment, Long Yi also stared at his master with a tense face.

The master must not like men, otherwise, there will be no successors in the War King’s household.

Long Yu was handling matters while giving Murong Qinjian a glance, indifferently saying, “If I had a preference for men, Murong, with your looks, having followed me for so many years, I’m afraid you would have been touched by me long ago.”

Murong Qinjian breathed a sigh of relief but was confused.

“If you don’t have a preference for men, why did you order Yao Jin to go to Shaoyao Village to find a man late at night? You seemed so anxious, I thought you were looking for a beauty that could topple cities and nations.”

Murong Qinjian’s words made Long Yu pause.

Yes, why did he order Yao Jin to go to Shaoyao Village to find that troublesome kid?

“When I was severely injured this time, it was that kid who saved me when I passed by Four Sisters Mountain. I noticed that the kid was smart and knew some medical skills, so I thought of bringing him into the Great Chu army. It might be beneficial for him.”

That was his way of cultivating the kid.

That was how the War King explained to himself.

Murong Qinjian was half skeptical about his explanation. Long Yu, the Great Chu War King, was not the type to repay kindness with gratitude. On the contrary, he was a devil who repaid kindness with revenge. Back then, Murong was free to roam the martial world. On a whim, he saved a person from the Great Chu army. His medical skills were noticed by this devil, who used underhanded methods to bring him into the Great Chu military. He lost his freedom and became a military doctor.

“Long Yu, could you really be that kind-hearted?”

“I’ve always been very benevolent.”

The man’s face in front of him made Murong Qinjian feel sick.

He had seen shameless people, but never one as shameless as this. If the Great Chu War King was benevolent, then all the villains in the world could be considered as Bodhisattvas.

Long Yi, however, believed in his master’s words without doubt.

The master always enjoyed cultivating people. For example, they, the Five Dragon Guards, were promoted and nurtured by the master himself.

….

In Four Sisters Mountain.

Dusk had settled, and the small village at the foot of Four Sisters Mountain was covered by darkness with dim light from household lamps.

On Four Sisters Mountain, the light was equally dim.

County Magistrate Yao Jin and the people of the Yan family were holding torches, searching in the mountains. The torches formed a line, resembling a fire dragon traversing the mountain.

From the foot of the mountain to halfway up, they still did not find the family of five from the third branch of the Yan family. Yao Jin, tired and somewhat displeased, looked at Yan Bozhang.

“Master Yan, are you sure Yan Xiaosi and his family moved into this mountain?”

Yan Bozhang, holding a torch, noticed Yao Jin’s displeasure and promptly responded respectfully, “How dare I deceive you, sir. Indeed, Yan Xiaosi’s family has moved into Four Sisters Mountain to live.”

“The nobleman from the capital, Xijing, mentioned that Yan Xiaosi’s family had been living in the straw temple at the end of Shaoyao Village. Why did they suddenly leave and move to this mountain? Could living on this mountain be more comfortable than that straw temple?”

Yao Jin’s question made Yan Bozhang tense up.

He dared not mention that the Yan family had used Liu Qianhe to drive out the widow and her children from the straw temple.

“The ruined straw temple at the end of the village belongs to the whole Shaoyao Village. It seems that because the village’s drying ground was not sufficient, Village Chief Liu Qianhe wanted to demolish the straw temple to build a new drying ground. That’s why Yan Xiaosi’s family had to leave.”

As they were talking, the sound of chopping wood came from not far ahead.

Late at night, villagers at the foot of the mountain couldn’t possibly be chopping wood. Hence, those making the noise must be the widow and her children from the third branch.

Joy appeared on Yan Bozhang’s face, and he quickly said to Yao Jin, “Sir, there seems to be some movement ahead. Let’s go and take a look.”

Yao Jin wanted to find the people quickly and take them back to the county government office to complete his task.

“Yes.”

He nodded at Yan Bozhang, and they, along with their group, continued forward.

At this moment, outside the cave, Ms. Zhong was still chopping wood.

Yan Xiaosi sat on a smooth rock watching her chop wood, holding a glowing fluorescent stone in her lap.

Her sisters were doing handicrafts. Yan Shuyun was sewing a woolen ball, and Yan Shuqin and Yan Shuxue were whittling wooden hairpins.

Having sat on the rock for a while, Yan Xiaosi yawned and stretched lazily. “Mom, eldest sister, second sister, third sister, you should all stop working. We need to go to Daxing town to attend the market fair tomorrow. It’s getting late; let’s go back to the cave and sleep.”

Seeing her tired face, Yan Shuyun replied, “Xiaosi, if you’re tired, go back to the cave and sleep first.”
