Chapter 229: Master's Husband

Carrying these questions, Du Ruo fell asleep.

I don't know if it was because of a guilty conscience, but she really had a dream. In the dream, an old man in white clothes pointed at her nose and scolded her.

Scolding her for being fake, having no real substance, and just being a quack.

Also scolding her for being fond of being a teacher, misleading students, and losing all the face of medical practitioners!

Good fellow, that spit sprayed at least three feet high, almost giving her a fully automatic shower.

Du Ruo was scolded until she was gray-faced.

It shouldn't be like this, she just made up a story. Didn't those cool novels in her previous life all write it like that? The loser protagonist encounters a Waterloo in life, then accidentally obtains an ancient inheritance, and from then on counterattacks to the peak.

It's all this routine.

She just borrowed it, is that not allowed?

Du Ruo was very unconvinced and opened her mouth to retort, but found that she couldn't make a sound at all.

She was so anxious that she woke up all of a sudden.

Opening her eyes and seeing the tent above her head, Du Ruo was dazed for a long while before finally realizing where she was.

She sat up from the bamboo couch, stretched, and turned her head to look outside.

Perhaps because the bandits were wiped out, God was happy, so he was willing to show a smiling face. Bright sunlight shone in through the gaps in the curtain, casting two thin and long light shadows on the ground, making people's moods jump along with it.

Faintly, she could hear the shouting of men drilling outside.

Where is Jiang Li?

Du Ruo got off the bamboo couch, put on her shoes, walked over, and lifted the curtain.

At a glance, she saw Doctor Ke... oh no, it should be her good disciple, Old Baby Ke, pacing at the door.

Seeing Du Ruo come out, Doctor Ke's eyes lit up, and he immediately respectfully held the breakfast in his hands in front of her. The smile on his face was a bit lewd because it was too attentive.

"Master, the disciple has brought you food."

Du Ruo twitched the corner of her mouth, "Actually, you don't need to do these things."

"No, no, no, it must be done!" Doctor Ke said seriously, "A disciple serving the master is a matter of course, otherwise what use do you have for me?"

Du Ruo didn't know what use she had for him either.

She, this master, was also forced onto the shelf and became one against her will.

But since Old Baby Ke had such filial piety, Du Ruo reluctantly accepted it, so as not to make him feel uncomfortable.

Thinking for a moment, Du Ruo asked Doctor Ke to wait outside, went into the tent, put the breakfast on a stool, and then exchanged with the system for a book, "Essential Guide to Trauma Treatment".

Inside, there was a detailed analysis of the human body structure and common treatment plans for injuries and illnesses.

Of course, it was still mainly about anti-inflammation and pain relief, and did not involve high-difficulty surgeries like reattaching broken fingers or opening the chest and abdomen.

She didn't want to scare people.

Walking back to Doctor Ke, Du Ruo handed him the medical book, "I don't have much chance to teach you, take this as a gift."

Doctor Ke was like getting a treasure, holding it in his hands and flipping through a few pages carefully.

The more he flipped, the wider his eyes became. In the end, his fingers started to tremble, and on his face was uncontrollable ecstasy.

After a long while, Doctor Ke forced himself to move his eyes away from the book and bowed deeply to Du Ruo, "Disciple thanks Master!"

Du Ruo nodded.

Just as she was about to ask if he had seen Jiang Li, her peripheral vision happened to catch Jiang Li walking over with a wooden bucket.

The wooden bucket was filled with hot water.

"Wife, you're up?"

Before Du Ruo could speak, Doctor Ke had already rushed over like an arrow, snatched the wooden bucket from Jiang Li's hand, and carried it into the tent with a *grunt*.

Then, under Jiang Li's puzzled gaze, he bowed deeply to him and called out, "Master's Husband."

Du Ruo stumbled and almost couldn't stand steady.

An old man of age bowing respectfully to a young man in his early twenties and calling him Master's Husband.

This scene was truly too bizarre.

Jiang Li's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at his little wife inquiringly.

Du Ruo grinned and lowered her voice, "I'll explain it to you later..."

After saying this, she coughed twice, "Old Ke, you don't need to take special care of me, go do your work."

"Also, I'm going back to Wutou Xian in two days. If you have anything in the future, you can come to Longquan Village, Xiushan Zhen to find me."

Doctor Ke nodded repeatedly, "Understood, Master."

He looked at Jiang Li again, "I'm leaving, Master's Husband."

Du Ruo couldn't bear to look and hurriedly waved her hand, "Go, go."

Watching her old disciple leave, she sighed helplessly. What is all this?

Coming back to her senses, Du Ruo pulled Jiang Li into the tent, washed up with the water in the wooden bucket, and then sat down, eating a steamed bun while telling him what happened last night.

After listening, Jiang Li finally understood.

"That's good, Doctor Ke is worth taking as a disciple." Jiang Li drank a mouthful of porridge slowly, paused, and then changed the subject, "I just went to see the Prefect, the old monster's identity has already been interrogated."

So fast?

Du Ruo hurriedly swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth and urged, "Tell me, tell me, what's that guy's background?"

Jiang Li smiled, "His background, you would absolutely never expect."

The old monster's surname is Bian, and his given name is Tai.

The 'Tai' from 'the situation turns for the better'.

It's just a pity that he didn't bring peace and health to the people around him like his name; instead, he was a disaster body, bringing danger wherever he went.

Bian Tai had two major weapons, one was his face.

Carved in powder and jade, innocent and pure. Facing such a likable and cute face, no one would be on guard against him, and no one would bear to hurt him.

The second weapon was his tears.

'See Tears Seal Throat', extremely poisonous. Once contaminated, there is no cure.

With these two big moves, Bian Tai was almost invincible. Whoever he didn't like, regardless of good or bad, regardless of man or woman, he would kill them if he wanted to.

And there were no flaws, and no one would suspect him at all.

More than a month ago, Bian Tai inadvertently saw the bald man on the side of the road. At that time, the bald man was fierce and evil, snatching food from two passing monks.

The two monks were kind-hearted and didn't report to the officials, nor did they scold him.

Instead, they persuaded him with kind words, saying many great truths, like 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot', and 'plant good causes and get good results'.

They even took off their monk robes and gave them to the bald man, so he could keep warm at night.

After the monks left, the bald man was silent for a long time.

Perhaps he was somewhat touched.

At this time, Bian Tai walked over and started talking to him.

"Without experiencing others' suffering, don't persuade others to be kind. Those monks have food to eat, clothes to wear, and people to support them, so naturally they can be full of compassion. How would they understand the helplessness of us refugees?"

"Rather than living so cowardly, it's better to do something big and let those hypocrites see that we are not to be trifled with."

The two hit it off and formulated a series of plans.

The bald man quickly gathered several hundred refugees, went up to Yugui Shan overnight, killed the monks, and cooked their corpses.

They also set up checkpoints at the foot of the mountain, killing people and seizing goods, doing all kinds of evil...

As for what happened later, Du Ruo also knew.

Her mood was very complicated. Refugees are indeed pitiful, and snatching a bite to eat to survive is understandable.

But killing the innocent, defiling women, skinning and eating meat, this was too much.

Simply inhuman and unforgivable.

Especially that old monster, he was the culprit!

"Right, husband, you haven't said yet, what is that guy's background?" Du Ruo asked.

Jiang Li sighed, "He is the nephew of the Divine Doctor Jun."

Du Ruo, "Divine Doctor Jun?"

Seeing her confused face, Jiang Li explained, "The Divine Doctor Jun has a senior brother, known as the 'Old Ghost of Longevity'. Because his heart was not upright, he was expelled from the sect by their master, Si Zhu Xian. That person held a grudge and later founded the 'Hundred Poisons Sect' outside, specifically to go against the Medicine God Valley."

"The Medicine God Valley saves people, they harm people."

"And they took in many incompetent disciples. They like to put children in medicine barrels to soak, to achieve skin like snow and exercise the root bones. In this way, when they grow up, they will possess supreme beauty."

"Bian Tai is one of them."

Du Ruo finally understood.

That is to say, the two orphans adopted by Si Zhu Xian back then, one was the Old Ghost of Longevity, and one was the Divine Doctor Jun.

The Old Ghost of Longevity didn't know why he grew crooked, so Si Zhu Xian drove him away.

That old ghost was unconvinced, so he went everywhere to cause trouble and also harmed children.

Bian Tai's body and mind were devastated, and then he became the psychologically twisted monster he is today.

*Whoa*, this circle is really messy...

"Then if that's the case, Mei Ruxi is also a member of the Hundred Poisons Sect?"

Jiang Li shook his head, "I didn't ask this, but the possibility is very high."

Du Ruo also felt so. The two had too many similarities; both were very good-looking and both were big perverts.

After all, it had nothing to do with them, so the couple sighed for a long time and put these troublesome things aside, chatting about other things.

For example, when Shen Jing Bin would wake up. ===== CHAPTER 230 =====
