Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Because they received more than ten seriously injured patients at the same time, the Holy Hand Room family had to spend so much time that they could not even breathe. Even the servants reduced their sleep hours to care for the patients.

However, there was one person who managed to escape this busy flow and lived quietly: of course, it was Wei Yan-ho.

“ Hahahahaha! ”

Since that day, neither Jin So-ah nor Jin Ye-ran had asked Wei Yan-ho for anything. To be precise, since that day, Wei Yan-ho had nothing to do.

Examining the details of the remaining patients and prescribing accordingly was not something Wei Yan-ho could do.

With his hands sloppy, Wei Yan-ho could not even wrap a bandage properly, and if they gave him work that others could finish in a moment, it would obviously take him four or five shijin.

As everyone knew this, no one thought to ask Wei Yan-ho anything.

Thanks to this, Wei Yan-ho had been neglected for more than five days.

The only luck was that they brought him food at lunchtime; Wei Yan-ho lived under total indifference.

If it were someone else, perhaps he would have felt dissatisfied with such indifference towards a guest, but Wei Yan-ho felt no such thing. On the contrary, he was content with this situation in which no one sought him.

Jin So-ah was also busy, so even when she brought the food, she didn’t bother like before, and thanks to this, Wei Yan-ho could roll down the floor with nothing more to wish for.

But that didn’t mean Wei Yan-ho wasn’t doing anything at all.

Even as he rolled on the ground, Wei Yan-ho knew how the clinic worked with the same clarity as the palm of his hand. He could not block the sounds that came to his ears naturally simply by standing still.

“Sister, we’re running out of bone repair dust.”

“Go to the pharmacy and ask for dust to cure bones. We don’t have time to do it with herbs.”

“But if we buy the bone fixing powder directly, the price won’t be cheap.”

“Is price a problem when we’re saving lives?”

“But since these patients arrived, we have already spent more than ten nyang of silver. As they are quarry workers, there is no way to charge them, and if we continue to spend money like this…”

“What are you saying! You shouldn’t worry about financial problems! Haven’t I told you several times already to focus only on caring for patients and improving your medical skills?”

“But…”

“Go buy the bone-fixing powder. I’ll give you the silver nyang.”

“…yes.”

Wei Yan-ho snapped his tongue.

‘Ten silver nyang?’

Wei Yan-ho knew that Jin So-ah’s words were wrong. Ten nyang were just the cost of medicines to treat patients, and if other unforeseen expenses were included and the medical fees they should have received, at least twenty nyang of silver would have easily disappeared at that time.

It had not been long since Wei Yan-ho had given Jin Ye-ran thirty silver nyang, but now there were only ten nyang left.

Jin So-ah and Jin Ye-ran were doing a job equivalent to a free service, so considering that labor costs were excluded, there would actually be more money left than that, but it was obvious that it was not far away the day that that money would fly and the white silver jade necklace they had barely recovered would return to the pawnshop.

” Tsk. ”

Wei Yan-ho closed his eyes and sought sleep.

There was a lot to feel in that place, but I had to endure equally uncomfortable feelings.

Living for others was admirable.

But that admirability made Wei Yan-ho uncomfortable.

***

Great Hanrim Academy.

After Wei Yan-ho left, Moon Eun-ji, who had barely found peace, received unexpected visits.

A serious-looking young man and a beggar with a frown in every way.

It was really an uneven combination.

Who did you say you came looking for?

The serious-looking young man opened his mouth with a severe face.

“Is there a Wei Yan-ho here by any chance?”

Moon Eun-ji bowed her head.

Young Master Wei Yan-ho?

– So where is he now?

He’s gone. lt’s been gone for a while.

The disappointment appeared on the young man’s face.

So you know where he went?

He went to the Sacred Hand Hall in Hubei.

“Are you sure?”

“I called an escort and asked him to accompany him, so I remember it clearly. Young Master Wei Yan-ho went to Hubei with an escort from the Dragon Fast Escort Agency.”

The young man nodded.

“Thank you, then.”

The young man turned around.

Then the beggar’s eyes opened while he asked.

“Where are you going?”

The young man answered as if nothing.

“I’m going to Hubei.”

The beggar screamed and collapsed on the spot.

I can’t go! I don’t want to go! I’d rather die, you bastard! I ran from Kaifeng to here without even drinking water! And now you want to go straight to Hubei tonight? Kill me! Kill me! I prefer to die!”

The young man said with a cold face.

“Get up.”

“My God, my people, look at this ruthless, tearless bastard, where is there someone who drags a beggar who has not even eaten porridge and makes him suffer?”

Moon Eun-ji sighed.

“Please rest before you leave.”

The cold young man shook his head.

– No, I can’t cause any trouble.

If I fire the guests who arrived tonight, everyone will criticize me. I will prepare the food and water from the bathroom, so please rest before you leave.

The concern appeared on the young man’s face.

“I’d rather die than leave. My feet burn, they burn!”

The young man frowned.

Even if going to Hubei was not difficult, if you tried to find only a place called Sacred Hand Hall, it would probably take considerable time. To get there quickly, the help of this beggar was essential.

“There’s no choice.”

Although he had hurried urgently, he had no doubt been too hasty. The beggar might be fine, as he is a beggar, but his own appearance was also shamefully disillusioned.

“Then I will cause trouble.”

“But can I ask one thing?”

“Please speak.”

“What is your relationship with the young master Wei Yan-ho?”

The young man smiled slightly and responded.

“I’m that guy’s older brother, my name is Wei San-ho.”

Wi San-ho entered the room that Moon Eun-ji had prepared and finished bathing.

After drying, putting on his underwear and leaving, Jang-il, who was completely clean, complained.

“For a leader of the Beggar Sect to be in this state, if King Mendigo saw it, he would foam through his mouth.”

Wei San-ho burst into laughter.

Although Moon Eun-ji had prepared a room, he could not bring someone looking like a beggar. Therefore, Jang-il had to carefully place outside the door the rags he had treasured for years and, for the first time since he was an adult, he had to dive into warm water.

Although there was the problem of having to prepare new bath water because the bath water became completely black, thanks to this, the room could be kept clean as if no beggar had entered.

Jang-il, who was complaining, looked at Wei San-ho and whistled.

“Ufff. Isn’t that a joke?”

The solid Wei San-ho torso, forged with muscles, was impressive enough to provoke the spontaneous admiration of anyone who saw it.

The large and small scars that remained were a small defect, but somehow emphasized the masculinity of Wi San-ho, so they were not unsightly.

As was to be expected from the Sword Killing Demons. Without having lived countless real battles since childhood, I would not have been able to develop such martial skill. But…

Jang-il looked at a long diagonal cut in the middle of Wi San-ho’s chest.

It seemed very old, but at first glance it seemed that it would have been extremely serious.

Is that a scar from when you caught the Dark Demon Without Cola? Did I hear you almost died?

Wi San-ho looked down to observe his scar. With his finger, he traced the long wound extending from the left chest to the right side.

“Dark demon without tail?”

– Yeah. I heard you almost died then.

“Compared with when I received this scar, the wound I received then was just a scratch.”

Wi San-ho smiled bitterly.

“Then who the hell caused that scar? Was it a demon who dragged the Sword of the world to death?”

“Demon…”

Wi San-ho looked into empty space.

“Brother, control yourself, brother!”

Wi San-ho silently looked into empty space and opened his mouth.

“It’s a scar created by my recklessness when I didn’t know how scary a sword could be.”

“Huh?”

“Thanks to that, I almost died and almost ruined that guy.”

“What are you talking about?”

Wei San-ho spoke in a monologue tone, half listening to Jang-il’s words.

“That should have been enough, but I made another mistake.”

Jang-il looked at Wei San-ho with a face of misunderstanding. He wanted to argue, but the atmosphere of Wei San-ho was too heavy to say anything.

“That guy.”

Jang-il fell into bed.

“Oh, I don’t know. Anyway, I’m hungry. If I don’t put something on it, the demons in my stomach will destroy me.

“Are you thinking of begging?”

“If I went out begging in this state, they’d beat me to death, a guy with his limbs intact going out begging!”

Knock, knock.

“Can I come in?”

“Yes, please come in.”

Wei San-ho quickly put on his upper garment.

The door opened and Moon Eun-ji entered the room with servants carrying a table. There were various food on it.

“I thought you might be hungry, so I made a meal.”

Jang-il flew to the table before his body could even touch the ground.

“Wow! Miss, thank you! I will never forget this generosity, even if I die.”

Wei San-ho frowned at Jang-il’s shameful behavior of having already put food in his mouth, then bowed deeply to Moon Eun-ji.

“I am grateful for your kindness.”

Moon Eun-ji shook his hands with disdain.

“It’s nothing. If you think about it, we get a big love from your younger brother, so this is nothing.”

“Did you say kindness?”

Moon Eun-ji seemed worried and contained her words.

“I can’t tell you the details, it’s not something that can be divulged, so just keep it in mind.”

“I understand.”

Moon Eun-ji looked at Wi San-ho and bowed his head.

Wei Yan-ho and Wei San-ho did not look much alike. While Wei Yan-ho was lazy and talkative, Wi San-ho was serious and reserved.

Leaving aside the personality, even in appearance, they did not look much alike. Wei San-ho was objectively handsome. Anyone could appreciate his strong and definite features.

On the other hand, Wei Yan-ho could also be considered attractive in his own way, but compared to Wi San-ho, his face lacked appeal. Unlike Wei San-ho’s marked features, in general, gave an impression of delicacy.

” The fact that they are brothers does not mean that they all have to look like each other ” .

If you thought about it, there were many brothers who did not resemble each other, although they were family. It was not so strange as to seem strange.

“Well, rest well today. I’ll call you tomorrow to join you.”

“Come with me?”

“Yes, I was travelling with an escort.”

“With that kind of personality, it would not have gone as a Jangja or an escort, so there must have been a personal escort.” [TL/N: Jangja means the eldest son of a family, often the main heir].

Moon Eun-ji laughed softly.

– No. He just followed the escort.

“Load?”

Wei San-ho waved his head at incomprehensible words, but Moon Eun-ji did not try to satisfy his curiosity. Wei Yan-ho was a difficult person to explain in words. Wei San-ho seemed to know and was not bothered to ask any more.

“And if you happen to find him…”

“Yes.”

Wei San-ho waited calmly for the words to follow.
