3224 Contempt
“Sss!”
Due to the weakness in her left leg, coupled with the other party’s profound energy strength, she was pushed to the ground without warning. The skin on her palms grazed the sand and gravel on the ground and blood oozed out.
“Go go go, leave quickly!” The city guard yelled sharply.
Feng Jiu stood up with the help of her crutch, then she glanced at the two city guards and said: “I’m not a beggar.”
The city guards sized up the person in front of them. She was wearing tattered clothes and holding a branch as a crutch, her face was so dirty that they were unable to see her face clearly. On top of all that, her hair was dishevelled. No matter how they looked at it, she was a beggar.
“Get lost! Get lost now!” The city guards waved their hands and refused to let her enter.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu took her badge out of space: “You can see clearly that I am a doctor, not a beggar.”
The city guards were taken aback when they saw the badge: “You are actually a doctor?” They looked at Feng Jiu up and down with a look of disbelief: “Maybe you stole this badge?”
The corners of Feng Jiu’s mouth twitched, she glanced at them and said: “Is it so easy to steal a doctor’s badge? Go on and steal one for me to see.”
At this, the two city guards looked at each other and stepped aside. After muttering a few words to each other, they finally signalled: “Go in! But with the way you look, you probably won’t find anywhere to stay.”
The two city guards ignored Feng Jiu and continued to guard the city gate, watching the people go in and out of the city.
Feng Jiu put her badge away and limped to the side and looked around. Sure enough, most of the people inside had profound energy strength and not spirit energy.
She walked over to a small stall, but before she got close, she saw someone’s outstretched hand coming towards her. This time, she turned slightly and avoided the hand, then looked at the person.
“What are you doing?” Feng Jiu looked at the man and frowned slightly.
“You beggar, who allowed you to enter the city? You dare to approach my stall and hinder my business? Go go go! Get lost! Take a good look at yourself.”
Feng Jiu glanced at the man with indifference and didn’t waste any time talking to him but continued to walk forward. However, she was chased away each time she got close to any stalls or inns.
She wandered around all day. When she saw that the sky was getting dark and she hadn’t found a place to stay yet, she thought about it and realised that since she still hadn’t found anywhere to stay, she would probably have to sleep outside tonight.
However, just as she was about to leave, she saw an old woman being driven out by the people in the pharmacy. They pushed the old woman with such force that she fell to the ground and blood oozed from the gash on her head. She didn’t pay attention to the injury in her forehead, but instead, she got up and begged.”
“Doctor Lu, please come to see my son! He is really dying, I beg of you, please…” The old woman kowtowed and begged. There were many people around, but they just spoke between themselves and watched on coldly. As for the people in the pharmacy, they didn’t even show their faces. They obviously didn’t care.
“The old lady of the Li Family is quite pitiful. Her husband died young and she worked hard to raise her son by herself. Finally, her son was selected to be a mercenary, then he was brought back after a few years. Now he is lying at home half dead and he probably won’t survive.”
