Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 140 An Daoquan: Excuse me, you are overindulging yourself [1 more]

Zhang Shun's mother suffered from a back disease that no medicine could cure.

Later, An Daoquan from Jiankang Prefecture was invited to treat the disease, and he cured the disease immediately.

Zhang Shun is a very filial son.

From then on, whenever he had money, he would give it to An Daoquan.

It’s been a gift for many years.

Therefore, he formed a deep friendship with An Daoquan.

Zhang Shun told Liu Gao about his friendship with An Daoquan, which gave Liu Gao a false impression:
Maybe he could use the money to make An Daoquan his friend for life!

The few of them walked and talked, and soon arrived under the Huai Bridge.

An Daoquan happened to be at home. When Zhang Shun saw An Daoquan, he bowed and said:
"Brother, how are you?"

An Daoquan smiled and helped Zhang Shun up with both hands:
"Brother, what brings you here?"

"Brother, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Zhang Shun grabbed An Daoquan's hand and winked at him.

An Daoquan understood and took him to the back of the hall.

Although An Daoquan is a miracle doctor, he is actually a man of few words.

The heroes on both sides of the Yangtze River would come to An Daoquan for treatment whenever they had a headache, a fever, any of the five fatigues or seven injuries, infertility, lovesickness, erectile dysfunction, or a stroke.

So in the original novel, when Zhang Shun met An Daoquan, he dared to tell An Daoquan directly about Song Jiang's identity.

He even dared to invite An Daoquan to visit Liangshanpo.

An Daoquan also said, "If we talk about the righteous men in the world like Song Gongming, it would be best to go and see them."

The reason why An Daoquan didn't want to go had nothing to do with Song Jiang's identity as a traitor.

It’s all because of Li Qiaonu…

After arriving at the hall, Zhang Shun introduced Liu Gao and the others to An Daoquan in a gentlemanly manner:
"Brother, these two are the 'Flower Monk' Lu Zhishen and 'Leopard Head' Lin Chong who caused a great disturbance in Tokyo!"

An Daoquan cupped his hands and said, "I have heard of you for a long time!"

He is a world-famous miracle doctor!
All the heroes in the martial arts world came to him for help, so he never bowed down to them.

Just bowing is a way of giving face.

Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong greeted An Daoquan, and Zhang Shun introduced Liu Gao:
"This guy's surname is Liu, his name is Neng, his courtesy name is Haizhu, and he is known as 'Little Xuande' in Jianghu!
“Master Lu and Instructor Lin are both his sworn brothers!

"I have already followed Brother Liu Haizhu, and will leave Jiangzhou with him soon!"

Although he had never heard of the name "Xiao Xuande", An Daoquan still cupped his hands:
"Nice to meet you!
"Brother Liu, please forgive me for being frank!

"You have damaged your foundation due to excessive indulgence. If you don't treat it early, your life span will be shortened!"

I'm crazy...

My lifelong reputation!
Liu Gao was in a mess in the wind and explained hurriedly:
"Although Xiaoke has a beautiful wife and concubines at home, he has always been restrained..."

Really?I do not believe!
An Daoquan showed a smile that every man understands, and reached out to grab Liu Gao's wrist to feel his pulse:

"Alas--

“It turned out to be due to overexertion and exhaustion!
"If the four desires of wine, sex, money and anger are too strong, disasters may easily occur!
"Exerting too much strength is due to indulging in lust!
"There's nothing wrong with saying you overindulge yourself!"

Liu Gao: ヘ(__ヘ)
Zhang Shun quickly asked for Liu Gao:
"Brother, can you cure it?"

"Why not?"

An Daoquan confidently extended his hand:
"Brother Liu, please take off your clothes, lie naked on the bed!"

Liu Gao: Σ(｀д′*ノ)ノ

After a stick of incense.

Liu Gao lay on the bed with a look of despair on his face, his body full of silver needles.

An Daoquan explained: "Acupuncture is the main method, and medicinal bath is the auxiliary method!

"Take the medicine every day and you will be cured in three years!"

"Three years?"

Liu Gao was also drunk:

Sure enough, it feels good to pretend to be cool, but it will be a crematorium after that!

But we have to say that An Daoquan is a miracle doctor.

As for Liu Gao's illness, no doctor could cure it no matter how hard he tried.

At least there is still treatment here in An Daoquan.

"Yes, three years!"

An Daoquan told Liu Gao seriously:

"During these three years, you must not get angry or indulge in excessive sexual activities!
"Otherwise it won't be cured in three years!"

Liu Gao: (_)
Zhang Shun said quickly, "Thank you for your concern, brother!"

Liu Gao winked.

Jiao Ting immediately opened the bag he was carrying, which was filled with garlic chips:
"Doctor, please accept it!"

An Daoquan's eyes lit up, but he refused verbally:

"No, no! We don't need so much!"

[An Daoquan's favorability +100! ]

[Congratulations to the host and An Daoquan for becoming “casual friends”! ]

Liu Gao:ヾ§￣▽)ゞ2333333
Seeing that An Daoquan refused so bluntly, Jiao Ting felt that he might have met a master who regarded money as dirt.

In order not to offend this master who regarded money as dirt, Jiao Ting had to wrap up the garlic sticks again.

[An Daoquan's favorability -90! ]

[Congratulations to the host and An Daoquan for becoming “acquaintances”! ]

Liu Gao: (_)
Is it so realistic?

Liu Gao was also drunk and said quickly:

"Brother An, life is priceless!

"Please accept these little things of yours!"

"It's not right, it's not right!"

An Daoquan waved his hand:
"Brother Liu, I am treating you to save lives and heal the wounded, and also for the sake of brotherhood!

"You are...not right!"

[An Daoquan’s favorability +10+10+10……]

Good guy!
Liu Gao was about to speak when Lu Zhishen said in an unseemly way:

"Brother, don't force yourself to be a miracle doctor!
"A miracle doctor is not a money-grubber!"

[An Daoquan’s favorability -10-10-10…] “Shut up!”

Liu Gao was very angry:
“Brother An is certainly not a greedy person!
"Am I not a person who knows how to repay kindness?"

[An Daoquan’s favorability +10+10+10……]

"Brother An, you must accept this money!"

Liu Gao said to An Daoquan confidently:

"If you don't accept it, you are putting me in an unjust position!"

"This……"

An Dao was in a dilemma and was hesitant.

[An Daoquan’s favorability +10+10+10……]

Liu Gao strikes while the iron is hot:

"If Brother An doesn't accept it, I won't treat him!"

"That's all!
"We hit it off right away, how could I put you in an unjust position?"

An Daoquan sighed and took the package reluctantly:

"I will accept the consultation fee for now!
“But this money must also be spent on Brother Liu!

"I will arrange natural treasures for Brother Liu, including century-old ginseng, thousand-year-old ganoderma lucidum, and ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus...

"The medicinal bath has doubled its effectiveness, so Brother Liu can recover soon!"

Good guy!
Zhang Shun gave a thumbs up: "Brother, you are so righteous!"

[An Daoquan's favorability +500! ]

[Congratulations to the host and An Daoquan for becoming "friends of righteousness"! ]

Is this a friendship of moral obligation?
Although Liu Gao was surprised, it was actually reasonable.

In the original novel, Zhang Shun originally brought one hundred taels of garlic sticks and gold to visit An Daoquan.

However, he was robbed by the "River-intercepting Ghost" Zhang Wang on the river and went to ask for help from An Daoquan empty-handed.

An Daoquan refused without hesitation:
"If we talk about the righteous men of Song Gongming, it would be best to go and see him.

"It's just that my wife has passed away, and I have no relatives at home. I can't leave far away, so it's difficult to leave."

Zhang Shun pleaded: "If you refuse to go, it will be difficult for me to return to the mountain."

An Daoquan just perfunctorily said: "We'll discuss it later."

Later, Zhang Shun pleaded with all his might, and An Daoquan finally agreed.

So the question is, Zhang Shun has already played the emotional card, but it doesn’t work!
How did Zhang Shun plead and convince An Daoquan?
It is not clearly stated in the original book, but Liu Gao guessed:
Most likely, Zhang Shun said that the gold he brought was robbed, and he would have some gold to give as a gift when he arrived at Liangshan.

Facts have proved that: Brothers, gold is really useful!
So Liu Gao decided to seize the opportunity and do it in one go:
"Brother An, I am doing big business in Shandong, so it is inconvenient for me to stay here for long.

"I am willing to pay you one hundred taels of gold per year, and invite you to go to Shandong with me, brother.

"I know that Brother An regards money as dirt.

“But Brother An is a kind-hearted doctor, and we hit it off right away.

"Brother An, please have mercy on me as I am not feeling well. Please come to me for the sake of our brotherly love."

"This……"

An Daoquan hesitated for two seconds, and Liu Gao could see that he was moved.

I don't know what he thought of, he shook his head:

"Brother Liu and I hit it off right away, so we should go for a visit even if there's no gold.

"It's just that my wife has passed away, and I have no relatives at home. I can't leave far away, so it's difficult to leave."

Do you think this is human language?
Liu Gao was also drunk:

If you said that you have an eighty-year-old mother who is crying for food and a three-year-old child who is sick in bed, I would believe that you cannot stay away!

You don’t have any relatives at home, so why can’t you stay away?

If others might not know what An Daoquan was thinking, how could Liu Gao not know?
It's nothing more than thinking about beauty!
Anyone who has read "Water Margin" knows that An Daoquan had a lover, a prostitute named Li Qiaonu!
Just because he couldn't bear to part with Li Qiaonu, An Daoquan agreed to Zhang Shun's proposal, but then he changed his mind...

As a result, Zhang Shun killed Li Qiaonu and wrote "The murderer is An Daoquan" all over the wall.

This forced An Daoquan to follow him to Liangshan.

This is certainly a solution, but it has serious side effects.

That is, if there was any chance, An Daoquan would leave Liangshanpo without hesitation.

So this method is not advisable.

Even if Liu Gao knew about it, he could only think of another way.

Although he was greedy and lustful, An Daoquan still had medical ethics and treated Liu Gao seriously for a whole day.

Seeing the sunset, An Daoquan kicked out Liu Gao who was taking a medicinal bath:
"Brother, don't soak anymore!
"Soaking for too long will do more harm than good!"

When Liu Gao came out to wash and change his clothes, An Daoquan urged again:
"Brother, I'm a little tired and want to rest early!
"My humble abode is too cramped, so I won't let you stay here. Please come back tomorrow!"

Since they were being driven away, Liu Gao and his companions certainly couldn't stay any longer, so they had to say goodbye to An Daoquan and leave.

"Brother, wait a minute!"

After leaving An Daoquan's house, Zhang Shun stopped Liu Gao:
"Brother, I will go and persuade Doctor An again!
“I’ve known him for a long time!

"If I can persuade them with reason and emotion, I may succeed!"

Liu Gao wanted to tell Zhang Shun:

The little bit of friendship you have with him is not as good as Li Qiaonu's little mouth!

But after thinking about it, he decided to give up, not wanting to dampen Zhang Shun's enthusiasm.

Liu Gao told Zhang Shun:

"If you find anything, come back and tell me.

"We need to think long-term and not act rashly."

Zhang Shun: "Don't worry, brother. I won't worry about it!"

So Liu Gao and his companions left the city and went to the hotel by the river, while Zhang Shun turned around and went back to An Dao's family.

But An Daoquan changed into new clothes, dressed up like a decent man, and left in high spirits!

Feeling that there must be something fishy about this matter, Zhang Shun did not greet An Daoquan, but quietly followed behind.

As a result, Zhang Shun saw An Daoquan arrive at the brothel and go in with a slutty bitch...

Good guy!
Zhang Shun was stunned:
What about you saying you're tired?
Where’s the rest you promised?

What happened to the saying that excessive indulgence will shorten one’s lifespan?

You bastard, you have made the connection seamlessly!
