Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 10

The cat’s slightly scornful cry made him somewhat dissatisfied: “I say, good sir, you are a cat that sleeps in the arms of others all day, what right do you have to laugh at me?”

The kitten stretched itself over the struggle, and glanced at him in a way that was my meow. The expression in its eyes meant that a beautiful cat like me could naturally scorn everything, and beauty was justice.

Du was walking towards the infirmary with a thin back, so he couldn’t see the look on the kitten’s face.

As he walked, he gasped for breath, “An Zeng, why do you look so skinny and heavy …”

“Fatty, do you know, when you carry a person on your back, it’s not a good thing to find him getting heavier and heavier.”

“Why?”

“What does that mean?”

“That means you’re tired.”

Skinny Du was stunned for a moment before curling his lips: “You still have the mood to joke even with your current appearance, don’t think that I don’t know.”

My mother told me she said that when I was very sick, she ran to the clinic with me on her back.

Halfway there, I felt that my milk was getting heavier and heavier. Before long, my milk was already gone … As Madman Qu from the infirmary said later, when people die, it will become heavier and heavier.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you die with me here.”

“I won’t die so easily again.”

Thin Du didn’t understand what An Zeng meant. He thought An Zeng was talking about the incident where he was almost killed by the group of people from Gao Di.

How could he know that the person he was carrying on his back had fought so many experts in the depths of the mountain that even the mountains and rivers had changed.

At that time, An Zhe was actually not far from death.

It was precisely because of that battle that An Zhe realized that the people who had been waiting for him to die in the Great Xi Dynasty were not only those who had seen it on the surface. Some of them were even his comrades who had once thought he could fight side by side with them.

An Zaihai’s home wasn’t far from Nanshan Street. Although the medical skills of Lunatic Qu in the hospital were pretty good, he was greedy. If he didn’t have money, he wouldn’t intervene even if he died in front of his door.

When Skinny Du ran to the entrance of the infirmary while carrying An He on his back, Madman Qu’s little disciple Qu Liu`er was standing on her tiptoes and was about to close the door.

The sky was dark now, and there was no one on the street.

Qu Liu`er was only seven or eight years old. She looked thin and skinny, and it was a bit difficult for her to stand on tiptoe on the fender.

He had delicate features, big eyes, and arched eyebrows like willow leaves. His facial features were slightly sharper, but he looked more like a girl.

“Li’er, quickly tell your master to save An Zhe.”

Du slender breathlessly rushed in front of the infirmary door, Qu Liu`er was shocked by him.

He turned around and saw the blood all over An Zeng’s body. His complexion immediately changed.

Rumors of fighting with the local ruffians and ruffians outside the tavern had already spread far and wide.

Therefore, Qu Liu`er’s first reaction was that An Zuiyue had been beaten to a pulp by someone else.

“But... but Master will not treat him.”

Everyone on Nanshan Street knew that the lunatic Qu in the infirmary did not take three cases … When drinking wine, he did not take any cases, when night fell, he did not take any cases, if he had no money, he did not take any cases.

Qu Liu`er’s voice was also soft and soft. She was at a loss for what to do. “It’s getting dark now. Master is going out to drink …”

“But if we don’t save him, he will die!”

Skinny Dean shouted. There was a pleading tone in his voice.

While Qu Liu`er was at a loss what to do, Madman Qu, who looked to be in his fifties with a goatee and as thin as a ghost, walked out from within and said, “Who dares to behave so atrociously? Don’t you know where I am?”

“No one dares to barge into Master Qu’s infirmary in Nanshan Street.”

When Skinny Du saw that Madman Qu had come out, he hurriedly ran over while carrying An Zhe. “Master Qu, I beg you to save An Zhe, he’s injured.”

Madman Qu narrowed his eyes and looked at An Zhan, also shocked by the blood that covered his body. However, he quickly recovered his composure and shook his head, “Everyone on South Mountain Street knows that Master Qu is not taking care of patients.”

It was dark and the night was dark. Master Qu drank wine and did not take care of the patients. Those who did not have the money did not take care of the patients.

“You two poor kids have already occupied all three of Master Qu’s patients. Let’s go, let’s go. Master Qu won’t bother with you two today, just hurry up and leave.”

The thin man took out a handful of silver coins from his pocket and slapped it on the counter: “Master Qu, I have money!”

When Madman Qu saw the bloody wad of silver, his eyes immediately lit up. “This …”

“Is it enough?”

“If you don’t have enough at home, you can give me a price.”

Madman Qu said with some difficulty, “You also know, I am the most disciplined person, without rules, I don’t care about patients … When it’s dark and night, I don’t care about patients, when drinking, I don’t care about patients … But you guys should talk about it earlier when you have money, come in quickly.”

“Lil ‘Li, why aren’t you helping your An family’s big brother down? Why are you so careless? You’re covered in blood.”

He said he was covered in blood, so there was a little surprise in An Zhe’s heart.

On his skinny back, Madman Qu couldn’t see clearly, but he said he was covered in blood, not blood, so Madman Qu clearly knew that the blood was not meant for him.

Qu Liu`er hurriedly ran over and helped An Chou down from the skinny back.

When he saw the pale face and the blood all over An Zeng’s body, he was obviously terrified.

“Hold him, I’ll take his pulse.”

Madman Qu rolled up his sleeves and held onto the secure meridian. After a moment, his expression changed, “This … how is this possible?”

“You … are you a human or a ghost!”

He shouted and involuntarily retreated backwards.

“What’s wrong, Master Qu?”

Skinny Du quickly asked.

Madman Qu’s face turned pale. “Although I haven’t done many good deeds, I’ve never done anything bad. If you want to take my life, then there’s no need to look for me … If you have any grievances, just find your enemy. I’m the place to treat illnesses and save people, I’ve never harmed anyone.”

When Skinny Du heard his nonsense, he quickly pulled him back. “Are you going to save him or not?!”

Madman Qu shook off Du’s thin hand. “He is a dead man!”

“How can I save him!”

Qu Liu`er furrowed her brows as she reached out her hand to pinch An Xin’s pulse. After a moment, her expression changed, “All her internal organs are damaged, especially her spleen. Her liver is also ruptured. Clearly … she should have died.”

An Zhan heaved a sigh of relief before smiling at him, “I’m still alive, but if you don’t save me now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold on much longer.”

It is true that the five viscera are damaged, but not as badly as you think.

“If you have the snake thread, Nine-Eyed Iron Leaf, Cinnabar Gall, and Chariot Reed, please take some of these herbs. Then, use the three poisons blood as the primer to boil a batch of medicine for me to drink.”

“Nonsense!”

When Crooked Man Qu heard An Zhan’s words, he became angry, “If you don’t know anything about pharmacology, then don’t speak nonsense. The few medicines you mentioned can’t be used together. Whoever eats them will die!”

“Even if you are a ghost, Master Qu can’t randomly treat you with medicine.”

An Zeng patted Du’s thin shoulder. “Take the money.”

“Do as my brother says. Although I don’t know that he understands medicine, but I believe him.”

“This is not about money!”

Madman Qu said loudly, “As a physician, you must have your own principles. My rules of not attending a doctor can be broken for the sake of money, but this medicine is definitely not allowed.”

I won’t save you, but as long as I open the door and take the call, I can’t let you die in my door.

If word spreads, I, Lord Qu, will destroy my name.

Lil ‘, first get a Small Recovery Pill and feed it to him, then use the prescription I taught you to treat internal injuries to catch the medicine.

“Even if this person is going to die, I will drag him back from hell.”

“Do what I tell you to do.”

An Zhan said to Madman Qu, “The Small Revitalizing Pellet is too powerful. I’ve been suffering before. Even though I’ve been training, my body is weak and I can’t withstand the effects of the pellet.”

Although the drugs I mentioned are toxic, they can stop the bleeding first. My internal organs are currently damaged, so normal drugs can’t stop the bleeding so quickly.

But the poison was fine, and although it was also a form of damage, it was better than continuing to bleed.

“And as long as the amount of these poisons is accurate, they won’t die.”

Madman Qu frowned, he was skeptical, “How do you know all this?”

“When I was chopping firewood in the back mountains, I saw an ancient book that recorded some of the recipes. However, that book was too dilapidated, so it was already missing.”

“If you take the medicine as I said, I will write down the formula in the ancient book and give it to you.”

After a moment of silence, Madman Qu said, “You can’t save the person you want to die. In a while, eat the poison you want and die outside the door. Don’t die in my room.”

“Also, the ancient formula you mentioned should be written down now, so I won’t take your medical fees.”

He pushed the silver forward on the counter, and even his fingers had a wistful look on them.

“The silver belongs to you.”

An Zhan waved his hand. “Also, I need to trouble you to find a big wooden barrel. I need to take a bath.”

“Nonsense!”

Madman Qu was once again enraged, “Right now your internal organs are bleeding. Taking a hot bath is just courting death!”

An Zhan shook his head. “Do as I say, death has nothing to do with you.”

Madman Qu swung his hand, “If you want to die, then die!”

“Li’er, come and serve him until he dies!”

With that, he turned around and skillfully put away the silver before striding into the back room.

Qu Liu`er didn’t know what to do either, she helplessly looked at An Zaiyue. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

An Zhan smiled at him, “Don’t be afraid, I understand my injuries.”

Please grab the medicine as I said, and then prepare a wooden barrel to put in the hot water.

“And... prepare a Small Revitalizing Pellet, I will use it later.”

Qu Liu`er hurriedly ran out to do something. For some reason, he felt that he should trust this boy who was one or two years older than him.

As he ran, his knees bent inward, and though he could hold them straight, there were flaws in them.

“Madman Qu isn’t a bad guy.”

An Zhan leaned back. “Qu Liu’Er is a girl, and she isn’t related to Madman Qu. She should have been adopted by him.”

“How do you know?”

“Is Qu Liu’Er good-looking?”

“Nice!”

“Is Madman Qu good-looking?”

“Of course!”

“Then tell me, do you think even if Madman Qu rolled in the bed with a beautiful woman like a celestial immortal, he would still have a daughter as pretty as Qu Liu`er?”

Skinny Du was stunned for a moment before he replied, “That’s reasonable. Even if he got a point from Madman Qu, this person doesn’t have much to see.”

“Ai, why are you so angry? What does this have to do with you? You’re here to see a doctor.”

An Zeng smiled and shook his head, but didn’t say anything.

He hugged the kitten in his arms and gently stroked the kitten’s back. In his heart, he had a feeling that this madman Qu Liu`er and Qu Wan’Er had some sort of story to tell.

But at this moment, three youths wearing embroidered black clothes walked in with large strides. Their faces were gloomy and their eyes were ruthless.

When they came in, they looked around, and finally their eyes fell on An Zeng, with unconcealed hostility in their eyes.
