hought to himself that this was truly an oddity; other ghosts would treat their essence as paramount, never daring to waste any for fear of losing their souls. This one just casually unleashes it when...Chapter 398: Heading to the Hospital

After Bai Qiyue asked Xiao Yu to take a look at his younger brother's illness, he looked at Xiao Yu with anticipation. Back then when he ambushed Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu did not hold it against him and even treated his injuries and cured his master. Hence, after mentioning this now, he felt somewhat embarrassed; however, for the sake of his second brother (Note: The previous chapter referred to him as 'older brother', my apologies), he had no choice but to grit his teeth and ask.

"Mm!" Xiao Yu nodded slightly in response. There was no reason for Xiao Yu to refuse treating Bai Qiyue's family, especially since their connection began when that tattoo appeared on Bai Qiyue.

Bai Qiyue and Bai San both showed smiles on their faces. Although they had never heard of any other methods besides kidney transplant that could cure uremia, they had personally witnessed Xiao Yu’s medical skills.

Back then, Old Wu was practically a dead man walking, but after Xiao Yu took over the treatment, he was completely cured within an afternoon. This was concrete evidence of his abilities; even if Xiao Yu couldn’t cure his second brother's illness, having such an expert examine him would already be very good.

The helicopter slowly landed at the military district in Qi City, and it was already dark by this time. They stayed at the military district’s guesthouse after getting off the plane. Although their status warranted vice presidential treatment when they traveled, they had never actually implemented such privileges.

They all possessed extraordinary martial arts skills, and their missions were always covert operations. Therefore, they usually travel alone, which is also a characteristic of them!

These people only have a few who are publicly recognized with identities, while the rest live in secrecy. Apart from a handful of national leaders, nobody else knows about their existence.

But since entering peaceful times, there has been less and less opportunity for them to use their skills, so their family turned into a political one. Even the legitimate successors engage in various professions.

No matter whether their descendants go into politics or business, these are all side activities, simply ways to pass time.

After Old Li sent off the leaders of these military units, they went to the guesthouse’s dining room for some food. Having experienced so many hardships themselves, they found it very comfortable eating at the guesthouse.

The liquor they wanted was cheap baijiu (corn sorghum liquor), and only on rare occasions would they drink fine wine. When competing in drinking games, baijiu is the best choice, and usually, they drank homemade wine by Old Li, so other types of alcohol were no different to them.

These elders all had deep inner strength, making their alcohol tolerance astonishingly high. As a result, they started drinking competitively. Bai San and Bai Qiyue were the first to fall back, followed by Zhang Dahai retreating due to defeat. In the end, only Xiao Yu and these old men drank until the sky turned dark.

Xiao Yu ended up drinking around seven bottles of liquor, while Old Li and the other elders consumed about five or six pounds each. By then, they were all about 80% drunk.

In particular, Wu Laohao was already asleep on the table. Xiao Yu and the others were all in a drunken haze. This was the first time since obtaining Zhong Kui's legacy that Xiao Yu had gotten drunk.

The next day, Xiao Yu rubbed his slightly swollen head from the hangover as he got up from bed and went to wash up before leaving the room.

Outside in the corridor, Zhang Dahuai, Bai Qiyue, and Bai San were sitting on a bench chatting. They had drunk the least yesterday and no one had forced them to drink more, so they were fine.

"Brother, are the elders still asleep"

Seeing that only Zhang Dahuai and his group were in the corridor and not the elders, Xiao Yu sat beside them and asked.

"Yes, the elders really drank a lot last night!" Zhang Dahuai said with a bitter smile when he heard Xiao Yu's question.

He had shared many drinks with Xiao Yu before and knew that Xiao Yu could drink quite a bit. He didn't expect that Xiao Yu would get all the elders drunk, as he was well acquainted with their drinking capacity; during the night he became an apprentice, they got him so drunk that he slept on the bed for two nights.

He had been worried about Xiao Yu last night but it turned out that his alcohol tolerance was even greater than he imagined. It seemed that when drinking with him, Xiao Yu held back a bit.

"Are the elders okay" Xiao Yu asked another question because these seniors were getting on in years and he was concerned for their health after such heavy drinking.

"Yes, they've just been checked by a doctor! The elders are all sleeping!" Zhang Dahuai said.

"Mm, Brother, you wait here for the elders to wake up. I'll go check on his brother with Qiyue." Xiao Yu told Zhang Dahuai.

“Thank you, Doctor Xiao!”

“Little Yu, thank you!”

Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Bai San and Bai Qiyue hurriedly thanked him in succession.

Xiao Yu waved at the two people and then left the military district guesthouse with them, heading towards the city hospital.

Despite it being winter, the hospital was still packed with people. The sound of adults talking and children crying filled the hospital's lobby. Bai Qiyue’s second brother's ward was on the ninth floor in the urology department.

Bai San led Bai Qiyue and Xiao Yu to the ninth floor via elevator. As soon as they stepped out, there were several people lying haphazardly in the elevator lobby; these individuals had simply laid down to sleep after laying foam on the ground and covering it with a quilt.

They bypassed these people and entered the corridor, where both sides were also filled with sleeping patients. Fortunately, the area was heated by both central heating and air conditioning, so staying here wasn’t too cold.

"Get up... Everyone get up... Don't take up space..." Just as Xiao Yu and the others were walking, shouts echoed from ahead. Two security guards in uniforms came down the corridor, kicking those sleeping on the ground occasionally.

Following their calls, people lying on both sides of the corridor slowly stood up to collect their belongings. Some nimble individuals quickly tidied up and approached the two security guards, bowing and scraping while saying flattering words.

The two security guards, acting as if they were important figures or leaders, nodded arrogantly from time to time and occasionally shouted at those lying down. Sometimes they even walked over and kicked people who hadn’t moved.

Those who had been kicked woke up and hurriedly smiled apologetically while tidying their belongings.

"Why did you kick me" At this moment, a woman’s angry voice suddenly sounded from ahead.

Upon hearing her words, the two security guards glared at her and said, "What do I need to kick you for You tell me what time it is! It's almost half past seven now; why are you still sleeping"

"Even if it’s half past seven, don’t you have hands" This woman retorted.

Upon hearing this, the two security guards sneered and said with a look of disdain, "I see that you want to leave here."

All these people were from rural areas and had chosen to sleep here to save money. The hospital was relatively humane; it allowed them to stay until half past seven in the morning after ten o'clock at night. To avoid disrupting work order, security guards patrolled around this time daily, reminding patients not to go to bed too early or wake up late.

Since these people were all from rural areas and had traveled far for medical treatment, some even depleting their savings in the process, they took a non-confrontational attitude towards the security guards out of self-preservation.

"San'er, don't talk anymore! Have you become silly because of your schooling Don't say anything more; we can't afford to offend them!" Another woman was about to speak but was stopped by the other woman's voice.

"Sorry, I'm very sorry to both leaders! She's still young and doesn't understand things! Please forgive us!" After stopping the other woman from talking, this female voice turned towards the two security guards and said.

At this moment, Bai San, who was walking ahead of Xiao Yu and the others, heard the conversation and paused for a second before slapping his thigh hard and shouted angrily, "This troublemaker,"

"Dad, what's wrong" When Bai Qiyue saw Bai San's expression, she quickly approached him and asked.

"That's your sister and mom over there. Ah, I really shouldn't have let her go to school! This child has become silly from college, no matter how much we tell her!" Upon hearing Bai Qiyue's question, Bai San said to him.

Although he was talking, his pace of walking had clearly quickened. After hearing what Bai San said, Bai Qiyue paused for a second and then hurried after Bai San when she saw him walk away.

On the way, Bai Qiyue kept thinking about seeing her mother; it had been ten years since he last saw his mother, but such an incident happened right upon arriving here.

"Sorry, sorry for causing you trouble, sirs! She's still young and doesn't understand social norms. I'll definitely give her a good talking-to later. It’s really embarrassing to have troubled you both!" After approaching the two security guards, Bai San quickly apologized to them.

One of the security guards snorted coldly upon hearing what Bai San said and told a young lady in her twenties nearby, "Hmph, little missy, learn from your parents."

Bai Qiyue and Xiao Yu also hurried over. When Bai Qiyue ran into those two security guards, they noticed their attire didn't look like that of peasants, so they quickly stepped aside to let them pass.

Bai Qiyue glanced at the two security guards but said nothing; if he were to argue with them now, it would lower his status. What was his current standing Even if he killed those two security guards, the shame would be on him.

"Old lady, old lady, look who's here!" Bai San said to that woman who had just spoken.

"Who is it With such heavy snow" Hearing what Bai San said, this woman thought a relative from their hometown must have come and replied.

"Lóng." When Bai Qiyue reached the two women's side, seeing the middle-aged lady in front of him, tears welled up in his eyes. He fell heavily to the ground, hugging the middle-aged lady's leg and crying bitterly.
